Ssssoooo...

[Cue one Nurse Fletcher, sprawled out in a chair in one of the cafés, a cup of tea sat before him that he's idly stirring. It's his lunch break, he's allowed this.]

I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be much of a nightlife around here. Or, at least, one that people don't use like they should. I am, of course, talking about most of the Foreigners around here. Seriously, guys, you gotta blow off some steam at some point.

[A pause.]

And I ain't talking about bashing one another to bits in that arena on Tavimbi. I'm talking about going for a pint after work, or going on an all-night bender, getting mortal and waking up regretting stuff.

[Another pause.]

Not that I'd recommend stuff like that on a regular basis, but, hey. It works. Besides, a bit of social lubrication can help get people to know each other better.

[He then stops, scratches his cheek, raising the cup.] Of course, I might be completely wrong about everyone being boring and not spending time with each other. [Slurp of tea.] So, if I am, you'll have to come and prove me wrong.

Really? I've found the night life here to be remarkably lively.

[Balthier you live over a brothel.]

[Video]

[holbydelboy]

Really?

[There's a grin, here, because this guy sounds like he knows a good night out.]

Now here's the million-dollar question, mate. Is it night-life with kedan or other Foreigners?

[Video]

[flybyshooting]

Kedan, generally. Though things have been on the slow side since everyone's been compelled to run their mouths.

Perhaps that's why everyone is laying low?

[Himself included.]

[Video]

[holbydelboy]

P'rhaps, but I don't see why that's a problem. Booze generally makes people spill their inner, most-dark secrets anyway.

[flybyshooting]

Or their dinner.


Though, same thing really, when you think about it.

Still, there's some occupations that will shut down if those brave entrepreneurs can't tell blatant falsehoods.

[androit]

Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

[ Thankfully for Fletch, this guy shares the same face with another on the turtle but he does not share the same scarring. ]

[holbydelboy]

[Which has Fletch squinting at the screen.]

So... You're not Mr. High-and-Mighty "I shall kill you if you annoy me" Ren, I take it?

[androit]

... What? What are you talking about?

[holbydelboy]

Kylo Ren. He was knocked up in the Healer's Guild until recently. The resembelence is bloody uncanny, mate.

[Paaaause.]

And a little bit spooky.

[androit]

Are you serious?

[ Like, he kind of gets the feeling this guy is, but on the other hand... what the hell? ]

Like some kind of... not-twin?

[wolfstrike]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with blowing off a little steam in the rings. Can always get a drink after you get your ass kicked.

[Says the fighting addict who's done that several times.]

[holbydelboy]

Yeah, no. I'm not for that. Besides, it goes against my creed.

[wolfstrike]

Creed, huh? Guess it's not for everybody.

I know a few good places but if you're looking for something more lively can't help you there.

[This one's not a party animal. He likes a more relaxed atmosphere.]

[holbydelboy]

Any place you can hold a conversation meets my criteria, mate.

[Alby's wasn't exactly a nightclub... except on kareoke night.]

And, yeah. I'm a nurse. Kinda need to swear an oath that I don't hurt anyone.

[wolfstrike]

My favorite place is in the water sector, but I hear there's some decent places in the fire sector too.

[Oh so you're a healer type. Come to think about it he thinks he's seen this guy at the healers guild.]

So if you got pulled into something you wouldn't fight back?

[denyamenti]

[ At least one of the new arrivals isn't a stick in the mud; you're a good man, Fletch. ]

Are you leading the charge, then?

[holbydelboy]

For instituting the "pint after work" to Keelial? Sure. I can only drag the people I work with though.

Re: video;

[denyamenti]

[ with a wicked smirk: ] Don't you work with Raine?

video;

[holbydelboy]

Yes, but even I'm not that insane.

[lasergrenades]

Some of us aren't legal drinking age back home, you know, [Pepper teases.] Not that that's a problem here, obviously, but there's kind of a mentality about it.

[Her dad would ground her for a month if she even thought about going on anything that even resembled a pint of beer. Good thing he's not here.]

I can be your designated flyer, though.

[holbydelboy]

What? You saying that if you ever went to the UK and you were 18 you wouldn't try drinking?

[He's guessing American by the accent.]

...Designated flyer?

[lasergrenades]

Oh, I've had a drink or two since I turned eighteen here, I'm just saying it's still a little weird to think about drinking period, much less drinking some kind of regularly and socially, like at a bar.

[Correct, Fletch. Very American and also very much dedicated to laws.]

I can fly. Well, I have a suit of power armor that can fly, but I pilot it. I can carry at least three guys your size.

[She can carry a lot more than that, actually, but no need to brag too much. Pepper does look a tad sly, however.]

[holbydelboy]

A suit of... Like in comics and stuff?

[Excuse Fletch's ignorance. His world doesn't have that sort of thing.]

And, t'be honest, flying around after drinking might not be the best idea.

[jinzhong]

[Jackie laughs.] Now you sound like you're speakin' my language.

[holbydelboy]

Technically, we all speak the same language, mate.
