 Hello loves!

[Arkady appears on screen in a straw hat decorated with peacock feathers, with a fake mustache made of the same feathers held to her upper lip.]

A very clever fellow I met recently posed the question: why is there no live music in the pub? Perhaps we can fix this. Do we have any musicians on board whom I can lure out of the closet?

[spam for pub]
[Arkady is humming as she wanders around, putting single daisies in bud vases on the tables between serving drinks. She seems just a little dreamy and spaced out, and teleports more than usual to get around the room, forgetting herself. La la la...]

Surely I rate a better adjective than merely 'clever.' Genius comes to mind. Brilliant would work, too. [He's not actually offended, just teasing.]

Any significance to the feathers?

[acid_rayne]

Well, they usually do it for either payment or a decent-sized audience, so...

[Squint.]

What's with the, um... Feathers?

[video]

[can_has_vodka]

[She giggles.] Well, it is a brilliant idea.

Oh these? I threw this idea past a few of the lads when Captain Kirk suggested a moustache growing contest for March. But I don't have any moustache paste!

[can_has_vodka]

Audience shouldn't be a problem, we've been getting decent crowds.

[She smiles.] Oh this. I can't grow a moustache.

Re: Video:

[acid_rayne]

Why would you want to?

[video]

[huge_egomd]

Of course it is. All my ideas are brilliant. [You know, if you don't count all the really, truly horrible ideas he's had.]

Right, the mustache contest--so unfair to exclude most of the ladies. You know, doctors have a glue we can use for small cuts. It might work to hold your feather-stache in place.

The real question is: what happened to the peacock?

[championoftime]

[He's going to give this a go. WATCH HIM BE TOUGH. He uh... yeah.]

They may be gone now, but there were a few people here before that ah... that could perform quite well. In that their performances were quite passionate really.

Not that passionate performances are what you need here... specifically...

[Oh... just... he gives up.]

I can play the spoons. But that's not helpful. I'll be over here tending to my duties and doing my most fair imitation of responsibility.

Handsomer than ever. [He's swung in in a surprisingly positive mood-- or, a positive mood surprising because it isn't camouflaged behind a well-enjoyed glare.

When he can actually get to her without having her teleport away, he steals her hat long enough to give her a kiss on the forehead and then replaces it. And tucks a daisy in the brim with the feathers.]

Because it's Moustache March and because I have full license to be silly?

Bertie Rooster mugged him for his tail feathers. [Shifty eyes.]

Re: Video:

[acid_rayne]

That thing Kirk was on about?

Huh...

[video]

[can_has_vodka]

That sounds brilliant! I'll pop down to the infirmary and confuse Dr. McCoy.

So did you do all right your first Breach?

Video:

[can_has_vodka]

I won't do anything for a laugh, but I do love peacock feathers and giggles.

[can_has_vodka]

[She just gives him a sweet and very patient little smile.] Passionate or mellow, I like each on their own merits. Whatever we can get, and whatever suits.

[A soft laugh.]

Well, good luck with your busy-ness, but know I'm going to pop by eventually and make a pest of myself. Only a little bit, however.

Really.

[video]

[maybebatman]

I see. And how, if I may ask, did they end up in your possession?

[can_has_vodka]

Eee! Hullo Chief! [She actually bounces in a small circle.] Having a good day then?

Re: Video:

[acid_rayne]

Yeah, you're a very... Unique kinda' girl.

[video]

[huge_egomd]

You do that. I'm pretty sure McCoy hasn't had enough confusion in his life.

It was excellent fun. Pirates, gold, sword fights, booze--what's not to like? What about you? How did you spend your time in Barcaza?

[umgekehrt]

I am. Don't tell anyone. [It's almost a return to form, and about as convincing as it ever is.]

And how are you? [Difficult to restrain a smile-- which manifests as a smirk, but he doesn't have a face for honest pleasure.]

[can_has_vodka]

[Her expression sobers.]

Where I come from either you keep your sense of humor or your lose your mind. It's...important.

[can_has_vodka]

He gave them to me as a gift. Bertie is my rooster. His wife poos out good eggs and he wakes me up in the morning.

[video]

[can_has_vodka]

I was a barmaid! Hee hee hee. Of course I was in a much more interesting situation than here. Stildyne owned the bar, and I had two coworkers--lovely people--and met all sorts.

[can_has_vodka]

Well, I got daisies, and for Breach I had a lovely time as someone whose life was good and just taking a great turn for the better...so that was lovely.

I think the Doctor's a bit embarrassed, though.

[video]

[maybebatman]

[ That's... pretty amazing. ]

You have a criminally-inclined rooster for an alarm.
