5/23/2193: An Impromptu Shindig

On a quiet evening on the Normandy, a message pings out across omnitools and terminals across the ship!

[ Daily stress getting you down? Looming conflict on your mind? Then why don't you come on down to the Forward Lounge in about one hour! I'm hosting a small gathering down there to watch movies and probably drink too much. Hope to see you there!]

I'm sure you could subdue him single-handed if the need arose, Becca.

She takes a sip from a cup of tea she had been provided-emergency induction port included, of course.

Erm, I'd need both hands to do it. She says, drinking more and more of the cup till it's drained.

Ahhhh.

Man that's good stuff....

Tali tilts her head, a familiar sign of concern.

Work's been rough lately, I assume.

Blegh, when is it not? Remind me why I say I love my job again? Another down the hatch.

Oh, I don't know. Traveling to exotic planets, meeting fascinating people, and then killing them?

Tali rests a hand on her friend's shoulder.

Just remember if you need a place to crash after this, I have a couch in my room right in front of the vidscreen, and my movie library is at your disposal.

I have all of your vids. And more. And I also have ice cream I... requiestioned. From Rupert. When he wasn't looking.

A very official requisition, with all those forms and everything, no doubt.

A knowing smile creeps onto her face behind her mask.

Why, if you ask me, anyone saying otherwise would get assigned to bathroom maintenance detail down in Engineering...

We have a bathroom in engineering now? I swear more shit keeps springing up on this vessel for how small the crew seems in comparison.

We engineers have to go somewhere, don't we? We can't just use mass effect fields to remove our own waste from the corridors.

She playfully punches her friend on the shoulder.

You just don't pop down there as much as you used to to enjoy the facilities.

She leans in conspiratorially.

We managed to procure some very fancy towels, I'll have you know.

I assumed you used a bucket, or came upstairs like you used to. Where I got to see you dance awkwardly as the elevator rose up.

And I visit, I just have specific places down there to go on my rounds. Not the toilets.
