Happy Hour

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy is on duty behind the bar tonight. It's a typically no frills appearance, but all things considered, he appears to be in good spirits. After a quick stock check and a wipe down of the counter, he chalks the following loosely-themed offerings onto the board:

DRINKS SPECIALS

Manhattan
Bronx Terrace
Long Island Iced Tea

He then arms himself with a strong and heavily spiked cup of coffee (in case the youthful turtle boys show up again), and prepares to take some orders.

"It's Happy Hour, folks. What'll it be?"

Indy chuckles.

"Just kidding. Sounds like the trash is the best place for them."

"This time yes," Ray says. "If I'm going to get careless during the construction phase I deserve a couple of weeks of itching and going 'clank' a lot. I'll get over it."

"Rather you than me," Indy vows.

"Um, just for my information, how does something like that... heal?"

"A much better biologist than me takes a couple of cell samples and grows them in solution to the point where they can be persuaded to develop into the appropriate missing systems, and then they get patched in later once they're done and the metal parts get removed. There won't even be a scar."

Indy's hand subconsciously strays to the whip mark on his chin.

"Wow. That's some really neat stuff."

"That's one of the advantages to dating outside the Terran community," Ray says. "Although I never thought of the medical aspect of things at the time."

"Hm. Yeah. I've not come across that technique before. The med lab in Ace's TARDIS has... nanogenes? Tiny little robots. They fixed some piranha bites I got in the Amazon about this time last year. Pretty amazing technology as well."

"I don't think Romana's has those," Ray says thoughtfully. "Or if it does, she turned them off this time to make sure and teach me a lesson in being careful or paying the consequences."

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Heh. Good for her."

"I forget... is Romana from before or after Ace's time? It's before isn't it? Maybe Ace had more advanced tech available in her TARDIS. Would that make sense? Even though they're both time travelers?"

"Romana was originally a Companion to the Fourth Doctor," Ray says. "Ace met him when he was on his seventh incarnation. So, yeah, different time frames altogether. It happens. That's probably the technological deal."

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Yeah."

Indy nods his understanding, and then checks up and down the bar. There are a few customers awaiting service of one variety or another.

"Tch. I'd better get going, Ray. Gotta earn my keep. And these drinks aren't gonna serve themselves."

"...Well, not while Bar's sleeping at any rate."

With a smile and a tip of his hat, he starts to amble off.

"See you around, buddy. Hope the healing process isn't too uncomfortable. Oh, and say hi to Romana from me."
