Twenty-Eight Bells: [VOICE/ACTION(ish)]

[simplestgift]

[It's around ten or eleven at night when the transmission begins. Two voices, Kennedy and Bush, are sounding decidedly sloshed. They are, in fact, sitting at the bar in Good Spirits, because how often do you get to introduce someone to Romulan ale twice and see their reaction the second time like it had never happened before? Only if said person went home and came back and doesn't remember the first time. Due to this, Kennedy sounds considerably more sober.]

Your attention, everyone. Mr. Bush has something he would like to say.

Yes, yes I would.....What was it again Kennededy?

Begin with "my profoundest apologies." And-and end with...with the hair thing.

Ah! Right, right. *ahem* My sensherest apologies to the ladies of Lusheti....I like all of you and your is - hair - is very pretty.

Nunno, William, it's...the envy bit, that was nice. Do add that in.

I envy all of your hair.

And how silly a man are you?

Extremely, Kennedy. Siller man there ever was.

Now recite an appropriate verse.

Help me think of one.

What about, "O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day!"

It is.

And...why is that, Mr. Bush?

Hm?

Why is it a woeful, woeful, woeful day?

This isn't England and there's no naaavy. Missthenavy.

And...that's the only reason you insulted the crew, isn't it? Just want things to be like they are at home?

Mmhm.

...Do you need a bucket to vomit into?

Please.

[Bucket. meet vomit. Your new best friend. You'll be seeing a lot of each other tonight.]

What did you put in my drink Kennedy?

[simplestgift]

I put nothing in your drink, Mr. Bush. Not quite as hardy a drinker as you thought, is all.

[But despite the trolling, Archie is actually holding Bush's hair back while he pukes.]

[wouldntbetonit]

I can hold my liquor, damnit!

[Offense is mild and punctuated by attempting to stay on his seat. And stop from laughing. No, seriously. Bush is trying to stop from laughing. Practically a giggle!]

[Voice]

[rather_be_surfing]

[Not saying anything. Just going to listen to this.

Good for you, Kennedy. Hopefully Bush can stick with it when he's sober.]

[Voice]

[selphie_t]

Feel free to apologize again when you're not so drunk that you're yakking on your shoes, Sir.

[Voice] Selphie-->Kennedy-->Bush

[simplestgift]

Did you hear that, William? She called you Sir. You've no idea how well you're doing!

[Voice]

[wouldntbetonit]

Oh do I not Kennedy!

[A moment to *gasp* reflect.]

I have no idea. [Apparently that is hilarious.]

[ action ]

[herotypical]

Oh my God, Archie.

[ buffy is wiping down the bar and wondering if she should have served the pair as much booze as she has allowed them to consume. oooor at least that bush guy. ]

What are you doing to him?

[ action ]

[wouldntbetonit]

Not Archie! A more honorable soul there never was. [*sniff* He's so nice when he's wasted.

He whispers at Buffy, like he's sharing a secret.]

It's the ale.

[ action ]

[simplestgift]

I didn't put anything in it! [This is Very Important for them both to understand.] And I'm not doing anything to him. Just...drinking with an old friend, Buffy. [Speaking into a glass of orange juice.] An old friend.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

No need to envy my hair, Mr. Bush. All you need is good shampoo, conditioner, and regular brushing.

[Voice]

[simplestgift]

Not unlike Horatio, then! Make note of it, Mr. Bush.

[Voice]

[wouldntbetonit]

Aye, aye sir. Ma'am.

What's conditioner?

[Adele sits back from her journal, a slim pair of reading glasses pushed up to the top of her head as she stares into the camera, puzzled and thoroughly amused. This was an excellent opportunity to take a break from her research.]

This is the strangest thing I have ever heard an Englishman say.

[Video]

[wouldntbetonit]

Eh? Which is ma'am?

[Bush is fabulously disoriented now.]

[redheaded_rock]

[She can't help the mostly startled laugh. Oh... oh, Archie, you are horrible. Alexis didn't miss the unfortunately offensive post to the journals and it's not quite directed at her -- she's not crew -- but she can't help but answer.] Thank you for the compliment.

[simplestgift]

Oh! William, it's Alexis. She does have a most handsome shade of red hair.

[The sound of the book shifting as Archie shows William the picture in the journal.]

[action]

[nocorsetsplease]

It would seem, gentlemen, that I have chosen an hour far too late to begin the quenching of my thirst.

[She walks up to the bar, wrinkling her nose slightly at the smell of the bucket. There are smells far worse, but it is a bit unpleasant.]

Unless, of course, you'd still enjoy the company of a lady with well kept locks?

[She has to tease you, Lieutenant Bush. It is indeed a very silly thing you have said.]

[action]

[wouldntbetonit]

Ma'am! [Bush reaches up to tip his hat -- and realizes too late he has no hat to tip. Thusly he dissolves into dignified giggles.]

You're plenty welcomed! Ain't she Archie?

[voice]

[theoniongirl]

....Archie.

[there might be the slightest of warning tones there. She's already envisioning having to help Horatio get the both of them back home]

[voice]

[simplestgift]

We're safe, Jilly. I haven't had nearly as much as William has. William, meet Jilly. Or...Jilly's voice.

[bravelad]

[ Oh this. Is kind of one of the most amusing things ever, even while their being so decidedly sloshed is worth a bit of concern. You never know what's going to happen once sailors start drinking.

... vomiting is probably more of a guarantee, though, yes. And yet from Mr. Bush and Mr. Kennedy, vaguely disturbing to consider. But look at Wellard go he is still being respectful and everything 8I ]

If either of you need help making your way back to the house when you've finished, please let me know.

[wouldntbetonit]

Kennedy are we ship-shap?

[The teetering Bush is doing calls to mind the rocking of a ship. He is not squared away, at all. Don't let him tell you anything different.]

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Jesu, listen to you junks.

Thanks for it, Will.

[voice]

[simplestgift]

Ou. [Archie eyes William to see if that use of the nickname is going to get an Interesting Reaction.]
