Bar Scene - First Flight?

[Roxy Lalonde]

It was just another bar scene, and who would've guessed? The air was smokey with light-up drugs and the musky smell of adult drinks. Not many people interacted with each other, but each did seem to be drowning themselves in a drink called sorrow. Roxy sat her plush tush on one of the many bar stools, looking in blankly to her cup, half filled with liquids. After a small bit of stirring the drink with a naked finger, she dumped the liquids into her mouth, swallowing it with a single gasp.

Drunken wondering eyes scanned the crowd for a moment with a raised eyebrow. Smugglers, civilians broke from the wars, even possibly force sensitives wondering around in search for something to amuse them. She giggled at the thought, slowly shaking them away, going back to face the bartender with tiny dizzy eyes. "Another, please..." A moment's notice went by before she had another, tipping it against the rim of the glass, and back to the other, slowly looking around to find someone worth her while.

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane needed a drink. Of the alcoholic persuasion. Badly. Very badly. There was a bar here. Bars served drinks of the alcoholic kind. The Chiss was satisfied. Until he walked into the bar. He would've walked back out at the sight of this one person, except that there were no other bars for a few miles. He found himself mechanically walking to the counter, and mentally punched himself for not choosing a spot that was right next to the person he'd seen when he walked into the door.​

​

"Hello, Roxy."​

​

Maybe... Just maybe... she was drunk enough not to recognize him? Was there a god, or a Maker, or anybody who could make her that smashed? Lorane doubted it, and he sighed as he ordered his usual Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.​

Roxy's eyes quietly wondered off the scientist as he walked through the bar, almost ignoring him for a moment before she heard her name. She owned that name, kind of, most of the time. With a set of confused eyes, she raised a thin blonde eyebrow at him, leaning forward a bit as if she were expecting something. Instead, she slowly fell back into her tiny seat, emitting a barely audible giggle.

"Doctur~" She replied with a small swoon to her voice, slowly cackling her high pitched voice into the air uncontrollably. She was both drunk, and high off what her body was supposed to handle at the moment. Maybe that's why she found his title so funny.

[Doctor Azure]

So she was smashed like a glass window... Except she still managed to recognize him. What the hell? Lorane sat down and grabbed his drink. This would be what kept him sane for this conversation. His security blanket. Getting drunk, rather, not the drink itself. He looked at his pink-haired... What was she, even? Was he supposed to consider this crazy girl his friend based off of a couple of coincidental meetings and having to carry her up some stairs once?​

​

"You are stinking drunk. I'm a tiny bit jealous of you right now."​

​

And so, he began. The Gargle Blaster wormed its acidic way down to his stomach, and he sighed contentedly.​

[Roxy Lalonde]

The blonde only giggled and adjusted her shirt lightly to keep it from slipping down her shoulder, like it seemed to like to do to the scranny girl quite often. A diet of untamed alcohol and the occasional pills didn't much help with making her heavy weighted. Good in some cases, bad in most.

"Ay don't be a hater just 'cuz you can't get yourrr sorry butt! Drunk!"

Another giggle parted out of her lips. She tried with much difficulty to hide it, slowly relaxing into her seat again. She totally wasn't laughing at how cute he looked, no sir-ee.

 

[Doctor Azure]

"My butt is unapologetic, Pinkie. And it will become very drunk. Besides, I have no shortage of other things to hate you for. Mostly involving carrying you up stairs."​

​

The rest of the first glass of Gargle Blaster spontaneously disappeared, and another one came. Lorane had no shortage of alcohol tolerance, and he loved these stupid acidic drinks. Even though he was a doctor, and it was his job to sometimes get people out of the kind of addictions that he had right now. But screw that. He deserved a drink, especially when interacting with Roxy would most likely put him in some kind of embarrassing or compromising situation at some point.​

​

"Also, if you're gonna drunkenly slur my name, do it riiiiiiiiiiiiight, Roxy. Loe... No, Lor... No... Dammit, slur whatever you want."​

She quickly gained a serious expression, blankly blinking at the Doctor. Well, he was no fun anymore. She tilted her head to look around for a moment, slowly spinning in the chair before her eyes met the Doctor. Doctor! Woah!

"Oh hiiii Doctoooor."

She cooned again, moving forward to poke her nose in unwanted business. She smirked lightly, scrunching her smeller up.

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane sipped at his drink while giving Roxy an unimpressed sidelong glance. He was good at those, with his glasses and pupil-less red eyes. She was doing something. Not like he could tell what she was doing, but it was probably the same sort of cute act that normally led to trouble when she was around.​

​

"If you weren't as smashed as a bug on a windshield, I'd say you were trying to act cute."​

​

He put his face a little bit closer to her, with a slightly teasing expression, and then abruptly leaned away to drink again while he laughed like a maniac. Then he took a gulp and stopped laughing. He gave her a suspicious look, not hindered by the fact that he was now soundly drunk.​

​

"It works a little too well. The, uh, nose thing."​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

"You know it was cute, and you loved it."​

​

She smirked at his little attitude. Like he didn't think she was normally cute! Yeah, right! She snickered at mind for a small moment, sipping away another mouthful of whatever it was she had refilled. Probably something bubble-gum flavored. She loved things like that, kitties, bubble-gum, cheesy rom-coms of the sort. Just your ordinarily non-ordinary drunkard.​

​

"You're kinda cute too, for a doctor, you know. With your eyes, I mean. 'Cuz the rest ain't cute."​

 

[Doctor Azure]

"No, it was cute, and I was vaguely annoyed by it."​

​

Lorane was rapidly getting more confused as he kept talking. His head seemed to be spinning, and Roky started making sense. That meant he'd probably shot past the event horizon of drunkenness. He felt himself shrug, and shifted his glasses back up to their proper place on the bridge of his nose.​

​

"Please, I am a six foot stack of blue-skinned attractiveness."​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

Like size matters in the bedroom.​

​

Roxy snorted quietly, slowly shaking her head, staring at the doctor's hair for a good long while, daring herself to reach out and pet it.​

​

"That attractive, huh? I don't think so."​

​

A sudden image flashed in her mind, one of which showed a very dead doctor laying before her. She gave a disgusted look at him for a moment, feeling tears slowly creep into her eyes. Nope, not allowed. She tried to block it out with her previous thoughts, casually reaching out to stroke the man's hair.​

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane felt her fingers going through his hair. It was okay... It wouldn't be like the last time, right? She was drunk and she couldn't trick him into anything. But, did that mean she genuinely felt like teasing him and stroking his hair, then? Okay. He could deal with that. Drunk Roxy couldn't be any worse than (relatively) sober Roxy, right? He didn't think so. The doctor looked at her, smiling a little bit.​

​

"You just can't keep your hands off me you see me, huh?"​

​

The fact that he said what he said next is definitely evidence that he was stinking drunk.​

​

"It's completely adorable."​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

"Swoon mister doctor, oh, swoon!"​

​

She teased with a small giggle of her own, slowly trailing her fingers through the bottom of his hair, pulling it back a little, then letting it flop back into place like it should. She tilted her head lightly at it, considering putting it in a nice little design. With a tiny smirk, she quickly threw some of the hair to the side to let gravity snap it awkwardly into a mess.​

​

"Lose the sly act and maybe juuust maybeee you'll be adorable too."​

​

She took her hands away, wrapping one around the bottom of her glass, and the other to her hip while she sipped it, giving a very droopy and very drunk wink.​

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane looked at Roxy with a very drunken tilt of his head that made all his hair fall sideways into his face.​

​

"I'm not being sly, I'm drunk. I just drank a bunch of green acidic stuff, and now you've got me again. Like a really cute, extra-pink, spider."​

​

He took another large draught of the aforementioned green acidic stuff, and reached a finger out to poke her cheek. He was grinning like an idiot, having fun even though he sometimes couldn't stand Roxy. Right now, though... She was here, and he was happy with her being here. He leaned in and raised an eyebrow.​

​

"So stop with the spider-ness, and just tell me what you want."​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

Oh, ho ho ho! She was getting stuff for free now. Someone call the sugar daddy police. She giggled loosely, slowly biting her lower lip as she stared him in the eye. She took a long sip from her drink, holding the glass out to the side while she spoke in a more pleasant tone.​

​

"What do I want? Hmm... I don't know, maybe you could spare some credits for poor ol' Roxy?" ​

​

She said with a tiny purr in her voice, moving forward to scrunch her nose again. She tried to get into his mind with her words, like some kind of Jedi. She didn't know about Jedi that much, but hot damn was she trying to be one with all the mental notes going around.​

 

[Doctor Azure]

And there it was. The motive. Always the motive. She wanted money. Roxy always wanted money. Who cared what Lorane wanted, right? That was why he stayed away from her. But this time had been a little different before right then... Maybe... His blue hand reached out to tap her nose.​

​

"No."​

​

He leaned forward just enough to lightly kiss her on the lips, smirking as he pulled away.​

​

"You know, you'd have had a permanent job with me... Wouldn't have even had to do much more than run around Golden Coast and shoot things. Could've been fun, hit nicer bars than this one... You're bad at staying still."​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

Roxy's mind fluttered into pure disgust at the motion. She almost got kissed. She hated being kissed, at least, from people who didn't look like an attractive mate to her. In fact, she hated it so much, she would puke if she wasn't polite enough not to all over poor doctor. She kept a tiny smirk on her lips, scrunching her nose again at the poke. So that's a no to money, as expected.​

​

"Planets and galaxies and moons... An awful lot of running to dooooo~"​

​

She slowly spun around in her chair as she sang her little song with that angel voice of hers, kicking her legs out cheerfully. She stopped herself with a small kick to the bar counter, facing the wrong way. She slowly spun herself around again, staring at Doc with two begging little wide eyes, taking a gentle sip of her minty drink.​

​

"So that's a no to a few credits? I promise I'll spend them on good things..."​

 

[Doctor Azure]

"No. Not ever again. All you do is spice yourself and get on to the next planet. Hell, that's if there's even enough money left to leave the planet. It's just gonna go to waste."​

​

Lorane sighed and pushed away the drink in front of him. It had suddenly lost its appeal. His mouth tasted like dust. The acid was finally burning him. Now his mouth tasted gummy. That was strange. Like... No, Roxy wouldn't resort to poison. Would she? His eyes were bloodshot, although nobody would ever be able to tell. He stared at her.​

​

"You'd kill me for pocket change? I... thought you were better than that."​

​

The Chiss couldn't see her now. Blurry pink shape. He couldn't see his fingers. Couldn't keep his eyes open. She'd gotten him. He'd made the wrong bet again. And again. And now he was dead.​

​

[member="Roxy Lalonde"]​

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

A small smirk spread across Roxy's lips as she came to a realization. Doctor couldn't keep his alcohol down right. She watched him a bit, slowly reaching to dig into his pockets for credits. She could just blame it on someone else, if he was truly drunk as she suspected.​

​

"Just go to sleep, it'll be alright." ​

​

She cooned to him in a sweet little voice, her little devious smirk staying planted on her lips as she dug around. Now she got to have credits, a passed out enemy/ally... She thought about putting him out on the street, then decided against it. He deserved to be beat up in the bar rather than being a beat roofless.​

 

[Doctor Azure]

Now, whether or not anybody looked for it, there was a thin film near the top of the glass Loarne had been drinking out of. A thin film not characteristic of anything mixed into a Gargle Blaster, but characteristic of several types of venom tailored towards Chiss and similar species from the Unknown Regions.​

​

The bartender made himself scarce while the pink-haired woman picked through her friend's pockets. The blue man had probably stopped breathing by now. Time to collect the "dead" reward for Doc Azure and possibly get rich. The one person in the room with the physical skill to stop him was the man who'd just fallen unconscious from the toxin he'd added to the drinks.​
