[Log] "Ain't you got no pack horses of your own?"

===============================================
Cargo Bay, Grace O'Malley [Santo?]
===============================================

For once, the cargo bay is conspicuously clean of even a stray chicken feather floating about or caught in the grooves of the metal deck plating. Bounding down the steps two at a time from above, Aradia pushes off from the side railing with one hand to jump the last four or five stairs.


Outside on the Tarmac, Sujiko can be seen pacing around and apparently thinking hard about something. He offers the occasional glance into Grace's cargo bay, and when he spots Ara leaping down the stairs, he offers her a wave and begins to make his way toward the ramp.


"Oh, I wonder where everyone is today," comes Josephine's sing-songy voice from the catwalks above, where the woman herself treads in a mournfully meditative fashion, "They are all still comfy in bed, I think.." She's actually making up a song as she goes along, "I made a whole urn of fresh coffee before... but nobody's coming to drink, to drink. Nobody's coming to drink." It sounds like a rather sad sort of song.


"Brianna, for one, is already in the cargo bay. For the most part it looks like she's snooping around, peering at the hover mule curiously. She leans in to look at the controls and gauges before dropping to a knee and leaning over to look underneath it. She doesn't seem to be -doing- anything more than looking..but well.. who knows?


The hatch to the Medical Bay slides open, Lucinda catches the singsong voice of Josephine drifting through the cargo hold. A soft smile curls onto her lips, and she slides off her lab coat, pausing inside the doorway to hang it before she steps out and secures the hatch once more.


Bounding forward a few steps as she lands surprisingly lightly on the decking, Aradia grins and waves to Suji as she spots him starting up the ramp, gesturing for him to come in. Hearing the song of a cook in mourning, Aradia looks back over her shoulder and up toward Josephine with a smirk. "Oh Jo, I would love a great big bucket of coffee. I've been too busy all morning to pour myself some!" Shaking her head as she spots some undefinable part of Brianna poking out near the MULE, she wanders over toward her and says with a fond pat to the hood of the MULE, "You should see how well she handles. Hatch tweaked her steering some for me awhile ago." Rubbing her thumb over a scratch in the paintwork, she looks anxiously back to Sujiko, waiting for him to get close enough not to shout.


The part of Bree poking out from behind the behind is definable; it'd usually considered the south end of a north bound donkey in polite circles. She straightens up and looks toward Aradia with a crooked grin, "I might take you up on that. Running good then, I take it?" Brianna stands again, "Nice machine though."


"Jooooosseephine!" Sujiko hollers up to the catwalks as he enters the bay. "I hear somethin' 'bout coffee ain't been drunk yet?" he continues, looking to Ara with a smirk. "What sort o' ship ya' runnin' here anyway? Coffee don't get drunk..." He offers a teasing tsk and a shake of his head as he makes his way over to the MULE. "SO whatch'all up to this mornin'?" he asks, looking toward the MULE and spotting someone he hasn't yet met, whom he greets with a smile and a brief "'ello."


Josephine smiles brightly and waves down to everyone in the cargo bay. "A bucket of coffee, Ara! Well, if that isn't a craving, I daresay don't know what that is at all.. Probably a medical condition. I think I'll bring you a big mug instead. Helloooo Bree! And Lucinda. And anyone else who's down there whom I can't quite see," she notes, peering about. "Who else wants caffeine? I deliver. --OH, my muffins! Is that Sujiko Tokari down there? Sujiii! You want coffee? Don't go anywhere before you get a hug, you hear?"


Lucinda busies herself with tugging down her sleeves. "I dare say we all need a routine check up if the urn has yet to be drained at least twice by this time of day." She cranes her head to look up at Josephine. "I would love a cup. You need a hand with your delivery service?"


"Actually, there's been this weird little rattling on the right hand side when she's turning. I think there might be chicken feathers or something stuck in there," Aradia says with a bit of a frown and then a shrug to Brianna, grinning again. "You're welcome to poke around after we're all done bein' sociable and what not." Wrinkling her nose up at Lucinda, she says, "I was busy!" and then turns to Sujiko, "I got a wave from...umm someone who is going to uhh take care o' things out on Haven. Told us to lay low a bit but..." How's that for being vague? She does sound abnormally excited about it considering the circumstances.


Sujiko nods up to Josephine. "Yes please," he says enthusiastically. Indeed, he could go for a nice mug of coffee. He turns his attention back to the MULE, peering over it as Ara explains the issue. He can't help it. He's just the curious sort. Ara's comments to him manage to steal his attention away from the machinery though, and he stands up straight again to look at her. "Another one?" he asks with a sideways frown. "Hrm," he mutters. "Don' like th' sound o' bein' asked t' lay low, but if'n tha's what we's doin' out here anyway, might's well enjoy it, yeah?"


"That's alright, Lu," Josephine assures, "I'll just bring a tray. With some actual muffins, too, since I made them and being that we have guests and all. But thank you." She might seem daft at times, but her dark eyes narrow curiously at the exchange between the two Captains below. "I'll be right back," she assures everyone, in case they might be concerned. And then the cook disappears to fetch breakfast.


Lucinda gives a smile to the lofty cook. "Alright Josephine." She turns from there, looking back to Suji and Ara now, her feet then drawing her in that direction. "Good to see you again, Sujiko. Seems this planet is good for reunions. Katherine and Tasha stopped by last evening.." She says in way of informing her own Captain.


Brianna tilts her head at the report of a rattle. "I wouldn't think feathers would make it rattle... sneeze maybe." She grins slightly. "But I'll look at it.. once the coffee fairy has come around... can't pass that up.."She looks kind of curious at the cryptic comment from Aradia to Sujiko but glances away, looking to Jo, "Muffins too? you're going to spoil me, you know that?"


"She spoils all of us," Aradia says with a chuckle, rubbing at the back of her neck as she looks to the MULE. "Chicken feet then, maybe?" she muses, shaking her head to rid herself of the mental image that comes with that musing, she looks back to Sujiko and says, "An ol' friend I thought I'd lost back on Haven. Someone we can trust." Turning to lean back against the side of the MULE, she glances up the stairs to see if the coffee fairy is returning with bonus muffins yet before she looks back to Lucinda and says, "I saw the ship they're flyin' with docked out there yesterday. How're they doin'?"


Josephine does indeed spoil everyone as much as she can manage it and eventually returns in good time bearing a large tray which is somewhat precariously laden with five mugs of coffee (one of which is particularly large), a small bowl of sugar, a small pitcher of cream, and a basket of what smell like freshly-baked apple walnut muffins. "Oh..stairs.." the cook laments weakly as she approaches the steps very carefully, one at a time, slowly.


Sujiko hrms quietly at Ara. "A'ight then," he says. "If'n you can trust 'em, an' I trust you, reckon that ain't so bad then," he says with a nod. "Jus'... don't want this t' come back an' bite us later if'n the pirates decide t' hold a grudge," he adds with a shrug, also peering around for the coffee fairy. He grins at hearing Tash and Kat are still alive and kicking and all that, but stays quiet until Jo returns. "Need help Jo?" he offers, moving a few steps toward the stairs.


Lucinda tucks her hands in her pockets, taking a relaxed conversational stance that she's apparently been practicing in a mirror. A few more months of this, and maybe she won't always look like she has a rod shoved up her nethers. "Pirates. That seems to be a theme lately. Seems Kat and Tasha had a run in with them as well, but they quickly assured me they didn't need medical attention. They're well, if bored. Which means they'll be knee deep in trouble soon, I imagine."


At the top of the cargo bay along one of the ramps emerges The Bishop along the edge. In his hand is held a mop handled at the end of the handle however is not a mop head, but rather a pair of very frilly looking girly underwear. Stopping at the top and holding the pair of frillies out in front of him, his voice lifts up. "Who deese? Hmm? WHO DEESE?!"


Brianna plays tennis fan, looking back and forth from Ara to Sujiko, listening silently as it isn't her conversation to join, really. Till the panty-clad mop peeks into the bay. She looks up and deadpans, "Not mine. I don't wear any." She shrugs a bit and moves over to the Mule's right side, the reported location of a rogue rattle and lightly raps on the fender with her palm and works her way along, trying to see if it might be a loose body panel vs something more mechanical.


"Well, it's a friend you know, too," Aradia says to Sujiko, "From Beaumonde." Oh, all so very cryptic. She starts to say something more before she hears Bishop and looks back over her shoulder. "Umm, yours?" she suggests before going on to say, "Now put 'em on already and get yer ass to helping Jo with that tray 'fore she topples arse over tit down the stairs."


Josephine is happily already rescued by Sujiko when it comes to balancing her precarious tray down the stairs. "And now we all know why I never made it as a waitress," the woman grins, with a wink. "I brought an extra mug of coffee," she explains, "because I always do. Because someone..namely Bishop, in this case, always turns up last minute, and I don't want anyone to be left out. I don't know how Bree takes her coffee, so I brought the sugar and cream.. The muffins are fresh, there should be plenty to go around. But someone left some fat drippings in the oven and now it's all black and charred in there, and I'd better go clean it up before everything I bake from now on tastes like charcoal..." She quickly gives Sujiko his promised hug and his complimentary kiss on the cheek, once the tray is settled safely upon a crate. "Ara, we can talk later, maybe? As much as I love having my head in the oven all day, I also like very much knowing what is going on."


Sujiko takes the tray from Jo with a grin as he receives his much-missed hug. To Ara all the cryptic messages seem to click together as he gives a quiet 'ah', but doesn't say any more than that, but rather carries the tray and it's contents down the last remaining stairs and places it on whatever surface is available and convenient. "'eya Bish," he says, looking up and---what the hell? "Got somethin' on yer mop there, Bish," he points out, setting himself up for a witty comment of some kind, but he's distracted by Bri and her comments of underwear, and he just gives up there, turning back around to fetch himself some coffee.


Bishop pipes up then as he looks at the underwear then shakes his head, "Naw, these aren't mine... they don't hide the thunder well enough." Shrugging, he takes his mop handle of lady folk underwear with him like a bannerman and moves to help the others. "Ara you be nice to Josie. Just because you can't fall ass over tits due to lack of the required items don't make poor Josiepoo feel bad for it." Looking up at the company though, Bishop pauses tone getting a little quiet. "Sujiko... is er... are all of you here?"


Lucinda simply takes her mug when offered, sipping gingerly at the liquid as her conversational attempts fall flat. Her smile lingers through Bishop's panty waiving antics, though clearly she does not recognize them or take the heat for them if she does.


Brianna gives up on smacking on the mule for the moment. Muffins and coffee are here. She adds for Jo's benefit, "Lots of cream and sugar. I like it so if it's cold it can be used in place of syrup for my pancakes." She walks over, nodding to Bishop the Panty Stealer, and then to Sujiko having never actually met either of them, only having seen Bishop around the ship once. When others have claimed their goodies, she fixes her coffee with the afore mentioned copious amounts of tampering and then snags a muffin, biting in with a quickly satisfied "mmm.."


"Yeah, o' course," Aradia says to Josephine as she pushes off from the MULE and goes to retrieve her extra large cup of straight, black coffee. "It's somethin' the whole crew needs to know about 'n don't amount to much more than a couple o' the pirates from the Raider's crew have been pokin' at Suji 'n I with questions about Haven. Procedure's the same as it was when the Feds were investigating, 'cept to be extra careful if any of 'em show up in person." Smirking at Bishop's question, Aradia says, "I tol' Ashlyn she could go in 'n wake you up while you were snorin' in your bunk yesterday but I think you've already scared the poor woman with stories 'o what's actually in there."


Sujiko turns around, refreshing mug of coffee in hand. "Aye Bish, Ash's back aboard Chaos Theory," he says with a grin, tipping his head in it's general direction. He listens quietly as Ara speaks, sipping occasionally at his coffee and leaning back against the nearest leanable thing. "Careful might be a spot o' an understaement," he adds. "'f it was me, I'd start lookin' fer some 'scape route."


Bishop manages a very sardonic smile towards Ara. "Thanks Ara. Really. I appreciate all you do for me." He grumbles it then goes to retrieve a mug of coffee. "Pirates huh? I saw them a month back or so give some change snoopin' around on er... uhm. Where were we Ara? The Ark... I remember the Ark on the horizon..."


Lucinda seems content to listen and linger over a cup of coffee and a Jojo Muffin, breaking off a piece of the latter and dipping it into her coffee before its popped into her mouth.


Brianna is nothing more than a bystander, or perhaps a fly on the wall. She keeps her mouth full of muffin and alternates with sips of coffee/syrup as she drifts into the background once again to eye the Mule and ponder it's rattles. Going to have to take it out for a ride to see what the cause is, most like.


"Straight for Boros doin' a flyby on Ares and the shipyard there 'fore skippin' Coreward," Aradia says to Sujiko rather matter of factly. Turning to Bishop with an equally sweet smile, she says, "You're welcome, 'n that would be Bernadette you're thinking of." Taking a sip from her mug and then reaching for one of the muffins, she looks back to Lucinda and asks, "They didn't say no more 'bout their run-in, did they? Tash and Kat, I mean." Glancing toward Brianna and then to Bishop and Sujiko, she asks, "You two met Brianna yet?"


Sujiko shakes his head. "Nah, we ain't met," he says. "'leastways not so far's I 'member, an' sorry if'n I'm jus' bein' fergetful," he adds to Bri. "Sujiko Tokari, Nice t' meetcha," he says, switching his mug to his left hand and offering his right to be shaken. "I'm th' cap'n of Chaos Theory out there," he adds with a tip of his head toward the cargo bay wall, though chances are he's referring not to the wall but the space beyond it.


"She the one you told me not to shoot?" Bishop asks towards Ara before nodding towards Brianna. "I'm Bishop. Simply enough." Looking back to the others he nods, "Yeah. Bernadette... so here's the scrape though. I remember ... and bear in mind I was completely hammered drunk. But I seem to remember the Shepherd walking over towards them. There was some pretty there to.. yeah... I think Sirah was with them. They were talking to the ugly pirate. You know, the one with the hair?" Bishop frowns then shakes his head, "Iunno if it's worth much, never thought on it till y'all were goin' on bout things."


Lucinda props herself up on something not likely to fall over or collapse under her weight. "Nothing other than some great plan of theirs was foiled, and would have gone smoother had the Alliance not put a stay on their warrants." Then a shrug. "Don't think I've run across any 'Pirates' myself. Doesn't that term seem antiquated?"


Brianna looks back to Sujiko and offers a nod, "Captain." She steps forward to shake his hand, "Bree Calhoun. I don't believe we've met before, no." She smiles, "A pleasure though." She then glances to Bishop with another nod. "hello again." She quirks a brow at the no shooting comment but lets it go as he continues on about something seemingly relevant to the two captain's conversation. Glancing toward Lu, she shakes her head, voice quiet and tight. "it's more appropriate than you may realize."


Aradia turns her attention to Bishop as he sets to explaining and when all is said, if not done, she nods as if she actually made sense of all of what he said. Looking to Lucinda, she says, "If that's what they want to call 'emselves, and whether the term is antiquated or not...what's that sayin' about roses by any other name, 'cept they don't smell near so sweet as roses. Anyway, we ain't had no trouble with 'em before personally and I'm hoping to keep it that way. They're askin' questions but they're playin' as nice as they know how to play about it so I'm not looking to make trouble with 'em. Rather prefer we both keep goin' our own way across the Black 'n not crossin' paths." Shrugging a shoulder, she turns and sits, perching on the edge of the MULE's step-up on the side as she takes another sip from her mug. "What 'bout yourselves, Suji? As far as makin' a quick get-away 'n laying low if you got need to?" she asks.


Sujiko grins. "Well we ain't on bad terms with th' feds," he says with a shrug. "Reckon fleein' corewards ain't a halfways bad plan. Leastways then we got th' occasional cruiser t' show up an' do some ass kickin' fer us," he says with an uneasy smirk. He shrugs. "Matty fought in th' war, but I think 's pretty agreed 'tweel all o' us we'd rather be on th' Alliance's good side than th' pirates," he says, looking much like he's picked between not-so-good and really-bad. "Been t' Sihnon once or twice, that ain't a halfways bad place t' be at," he suggests. "Nice 'n clean at least.."


"Aye." Bishop says in simple response to Ara and sips his coffee, eyes driftin' off over the horizon towards the hull of the ship as if contemplating the metal plating like it perhaps could reveal a signifigant secret of life.


"No, it ain't too bad. 'Course Lady Pearle is out on Ariel too what I've been working with a rather lot, lately if'n we need lay low awhile," Aradia muses. Drawing a breath, she looks to Brianna to say, "Sorry Bree. Know it sounds like an awful lot o' fuss we're making over what will probably turn out to be nothin' but best to be prepared...'n well if you're flying with us figure you should know what might come our way 'n that way I know whether you're like to want to hop off or help out if it does." Her gaze drifting briefly to Bishop on its way back to Sujiko, Aradia says, "There's an awful lot o' muffins here that need eatin' and Jo grumps at me if I eat too many of 'em myself. Why don't you call o'er the rest o' your crew what ain't busy?"


Lucinda comments quietly and contemplatively over her coffee, "I'd rather not be sniffing any pirates."


Sujiko pushes off from whatever it was he was leaning against (probably a railing, because that's more cool). "A'ight, I'll be right back," he says, taking another sip of his coffee and making his way back toward the hatchway. "'ll see if'n I can bribe Ash into takin' a break from tinkerin' in th' engine room fer ya' Bish," he adds with a grin to the man as he makes his way out the hatch back onto the tarmac.


"What's she... er..." Bishop looks over to Brianna, "Er what is it you do exactly?" He asks towards her.


Saienne saunters down the from the upper deck, one of Josephine's muffins in one hand and a small ceramic cup in the other. A lemon-scented steam rises from the cup and wafts into the hold before her. "Did reckon I heard voices," she says, to no one in particular, as she approaches the group of crew and friends.


Brianna offers a nod to Sujiko, then looks back to Aradia, "I ain't crew. You don't owe me explanations, Aradia." She shrugs a bit, "I'm not one reckoned to pry. We all got our own baggage to carry. Sometimes not even our own choosing. Least wise knowingly." She leans against the mule and sips her coffee before sitting it down, "But if you want to talk, I'll listen. I got nothing against any of you." She then half smirks, "And I ain't exactly full of places to go on my own..so.. "


"Well, they don't all smell that bad," Aradia concedes to Lucinda, not offering up any more information on just how she knows that. Looking over to Saienne with a grin, she says, "The doc called me certifiable last time I said that in hearin' range." Turning to Brianna, the grin still on her lips, she says, "That's pretty much how crew becomes crew 'round here. They stick around 'til one mornin' they wake up 'n go, 'I'm crew ain't I?' and I nod, hand 'em a mop and they get to washin' chicken poop off the floor." Winking at the woman, she raises her mug aloft in a toast and then takes a large bite out of the muffin in her other hand, rendering further conversation difficult for a few moments at least.


Lucinda leans towards Bishop, answering the man's question about Brianna's position. "She's a guest. And resident window washer. Though I think she drew the line at latrine duty." A bit more muffin is devoured, but the morsels she pops into her mouth are nothing but polite acceptable pieces. But apparently her manners are forgotten as she mumbles through a mouthful of crumbs at Aradia. "You -are- certifiable. They just won't let me commit you."


Bishop grunts a bit towards Lucinda. "Ain't that somethin'. This must mean I got demoted to foot stool again."


"What don't smell?" Saienne asks, looking between Lucinda and Aradia curiously. "Or is that one of those things I'm happier not knowin'?" She takes a bite of her muffin, she nods as Aradia describes the process of becoming crew. "That's more or less what happened in my case, ain't it?" She grins crookedly and finds something relatively comfortable to lean up against. "But we ain't got nothin' to clean up after at present, Bishop, so I reckon that makes us all..." A shrug. "Foot stools."


"Course I am, but you love me anyway," Aradia says to Lucinda, poking her tongue out at her before she takes another large bite from her muffin, munching on it as she listens to the conversation for a few moments. Taking a swig from her mug, she looks to Saienne and says, "Pirates," before she goes on to add, "'n that's pretty much it, yeah 'n since none of us have work to do, I figure that leaves us with two 'n a half sheets to work toward, don't it?" She grins at the last of her words and then looks to Brianna again to add, "'n the work you've done is mighty appreciated. You're welcome to stick around as long as ye want if'n you're wanting to."


Brianna lifts her mug to sip. "Already slopped chicken crap. Even managed to lose a few of those birds before they were offloaded... Jo should be able to stew up a nice batch of soup if she hasn't already found them.." She looks to Lu, then smirks at Bishop. "you can have the windows and latrine. Leastwise unless you're better at fixing runnin' things.."


Lucinda takes another sip of her coffee to wash down the muffin before she dares to speak again, her words directed at Aradia. "Of course I do. That's what keeps us such a tidy crew. We're all head over heels for our Captain. 'Specially this one.." She nods towards Bishop.


Brianna considers the last of her muffin while the others talk. She tosses it in her mouth to munch then finishes off her coffee. "Well.. seeing as I've no place I call home or any other place in mind to go.. wherever you're headed next suits me as well as anywhere else if you'll have me."


Making his way back up the ramp, alone sadly, is Sujiko. "Bah, they ain't no fun," he scoffs, making a dismissal motion with his hand in the direction of his ship. "Ash gotta' finish up somethin' she's workin' on I think... dunno' what Savannha's up to, an' Matty ain't around. Went out someplace or somethin'." He shrugs. "Ain't seen nobody else since we touched down. Think they scattered every which way all 'cited t' be out someplace they ain't been afore, an' I think 'least m' cook were all nervous 'bout flyin' fer th' first time."


"Er... busy." Bishop says softly to himself then snaps out of it and smirks. "Well Suj, looks like it's just us boys then. I'm telling you, between us I think we're going to need to go out, grab Max and do something inordinately masculine. Maybe tip some cows or put burning bags of dog crap on the doorsteps of the Governor."


Saienne shakes her head, mildly bemused, and questions no further. "Is that so?" Is all she says, sipping gingerly from the still steaming cup of lemon tea. She sets the muffin down on the nearest flat surface and cradles the hot cup in both hands, long fingers spreading round to encircle the ceramic. "Ain't goin' to take much workin'," Saienne says, in response to Aradia's distant comment. She lifts her teacup in greeting to Sujiko as he comes back up the ramp. "Afternoon," she says to him, with a lop-sided smile.


"Well, seein' as you're already here 'n all," Aradia says to Brianna with a grin before she looks to Bishop and says, "If'n you can find him, send him on my way because I could sure do with a reminder o' his manliness." Turning to Saienne, she says, "Speak for ye'self. I intend to put a whole lot o' work into it," before she looks over to Sujiko returning and says, "Ahh a shame, 'n we were just talkin' about getting out 'n havin a few drinks and what not."


Brianna half grins to Aradia, "Well..don't say I didn't warn you..." She looks around and nods to everyone. "Uh... hi. guess I'm the rookie." she reaches for another muffin. Stiffle silence with muffins.


Lucinda straightens away from where she's leaning. "We're plannin' on going drinking? Let me clear my busy schedule." She pauses for a moment. "Done."


Sujiko chuckles at Bishop. "Get drunk, punch things, drive around in a truck hoot'n like gibbons?" he adds with a smirk. "Go 'round on a MULE pickin' up girls, 'cept I reckon might be some folks might object t' some particular parts o' that goins' on," he adds with a glance toward Ara. A little more seriously, he adds to her, "That sound like somethin' I could go for. An' fer th' record, I's better at hold'n my liquor'n I us'ta be," he says, recalling a particular memorable quote from quite some time ago.


"Good gorram, how can it be work?" mutters Saienne to Aradia. "Ain't it the antithesis of work, sittin' around drinkin'?" She sips a little more lemon tea. "I ain't goin' to be workin', I can promise you that." A pause. "Unless you count carryin' the Captain back to the ship first thing in the mornin' as workin'." Saienne grins crookedly at Brianna. "Welcome, an' all."


"Well it could technically count as pickin' up girls too," Aradia says with an impish grin, shrugging as she says to Sujiko, "It's figurin' out what to do with 'em once you've done the picking up that you got to figure out on." Nodding in agreement with Saienne, she says to Brianna, "That you are," before she adds, "I need to get you organizin' my schedule for me, Lu."


Lucinda jingles around in her pocket, pulling out her PDA. She looks to the screen which is blank, but a furrow forms between her eyebrows nonetheless, like she's studying something there. "Near as I can tell, you gotta whole lotta Jack this morning. But I think we can fit it in before the Shit portion of the afternoon."


Brianna smirks at confirmation of her newbie status. "Right, then. Where's the bag for the Snipe hunt? Or do you go right to sending me out looking for a new Rollakin Rod for the engine?" She winks at Aradia.


"I reckon it could, at that," Saienne agrees with Aradia. "Mayhap we should let Bishop in on the secret, an' all." She shakes her head at Brianna. "I reckon you already had your hazin' with the cleanin'. Chicken shit... Good gorram, never did I think I'd be quite so involved with that muck ever again." She grins crookedly. "So now, I reckon, it'll be about how many sheets to the wind you get yourself tonight, an' whether you're helpin' me carry the Captain or not."


Sujiko grins at Ara. "See, tha's the problem. Could go pickin' up all th' girls we want, 'cept we's three already ordered, so we can't do nothin' but look at th' menu, if ya' catch my meanin'," he says, leaning against the wall. "'spose we could play cards or somethin', but all th' fun stuff's off limits as it involves clothes... or lack thereof." He looks over toward Sai. "Which cap'n ya' referrin' to?" he asks. "Might happen ya' gotta carry both o' us."


Brianna looks over at Sujiko. "That's okay.. you can pick them up and I'll take them off your hands." she winks wickedly. "I've mucked out chicken coops here when I didn't have to and admitted to not wearing any panties. I've got no shame left to devote to worrying over stealing someone else's orders.."


Saienne turns to Sujiko and smiles lop-sidedly. "Ain't you got no pack horses of your own, Sujiko?" She breaks a lump off her muffin and munches on it seriously, licking the crumbs off her fingers when she's finished.


Lucinda starts making her way back to the medical bay, talking as she moves. "Well if we're all going to go out and get however many sheets to the wind, I better make sure that I'm prepared properly for the multitude of hangovers in the morning. Just let me know where everyone is headed, and I'll catch up."
