Hey, no problem. It's a special occasion.

[And he's feeling magnanimous in general now that he's managed to stop fucking up his life for a while. Any further fucking will be courteous of just being in space, or even better, it'll be non-existent.]

You're one of the new kids, right? Good thing they got this place up in time. You poor bastards would have been stuck with nothing your whole time here.

[poolhall_killer]

[Kids...?]

I am new, if that's what you mean. So this bar wasn't here before?

[Kind of hard to believe a ship this size not having a place for people to gather.]

[sketchycharacter]

Used to have another bar in the mess hall, back when we had a mess hall that wasn't just glass and empty space.

[RIP the bar, long live the bar.]

[poolhall_killer]

[Ah yes, the mess hall was a bit sparse. And the rationed food didn't help.]

I see.

[Another sip.]

I'm glad you were able to set up another one.

[sketchycharacter]

Well, I wasn't. I'm a fellow slothful drinker like yourself.

[Yeah, his washboard abs really display a lazy lifestyle.]

Probably for the best. Place like this, everyone cooped up together? People need an outlet.

[Not necessarily a healthy outlet, but an outlet.]

[poolhall_killer]

[Venom can appreciate a nice set of abs and not-so-lazy lifestyle. Not training is starting to get to him, and it's only been a few days.]

I cannot argue that. I'm normally not one to drink with the public, but I felt I owed it to some... allies... to have a couple.

[sketchycharacter]

[Significant pause significantly noted.]

If you're looking to get to know the crew, there's no better way. Get a few drinks in and everyone starts oversharing. Or throwing punches, which can be fun too.

[poolhall_killer]

[He makes a face under that hair. No, he's had his share of throwing punches and cue balls after too many. Last time that happened he co-wrecked a food stand.]

What was the old saying? Liquor being truth serum?

[sketchycharacter]

Pretty much. In vino veritas. In wine, there is truth. Also in shitty liquor and beer as long as the ABV's high enough.

[poolhall_killer]

[Watch Venom huff at the mere thought of shitty liquor.]

That in itself is quite true.

[And he's still not sure what he's drinking. He just knows it has an acquired taste.]

[sketchycharacter]

Oh, it is. Give it enough time and you could probably gather some blackmail material.

[poolhall_killer]

[Venom wrinkles his nose. Not like anyone can tell.]

I don't deal in blackmail, but I understand what you mean.

[sketchycharacter]

[That makes him laugh.]

I didn't mean that literally, but good to know.

[poolhall_killer]

Ah. My apologies, then.

[He takes another sip.]

Let's just say I'm a bit too used to underground dealings.

[sketchycharacter]

No problem. I get it.

[The general attitude, if not the specific circumstances.]

But we're all friends here tonight.

[poolhall_killer]

[Friends... Maybe it's the alcohol, but the thought makes Venom's cheeks warm. He's never really had friends before, even if they are just bar friends.]

...

Thank you.

[sketchycharacter]

[It doesn't strike as Nate as something that needs a thank-you, but hey. If interesting-hair guy wants to say it, why not.]

Sure. No problem.
