Mel has a Security badge.

It's not the one pinned to her belt, though that's there too. This one is newer, and shiner than that one: straighter, not rusting, and catches the light as she flips it across her fingers and back again. It's Lan's.

At least Raph is back. Otherwise she'd be really annoyed at everyone leaving.

(Someone wanna tell her Stabby's back as well?)

"Wow, sweet trick with the... shiny thing, dude," Hurley says. He's a little less dissheveled looking than yesterday. He convinced the Bar that he'd be good on his tab, and got a room where he could shower and shave. It had felt soooo good.

[slayer_fray]

Mel looks up from her reverie, catching the badge deftly in one hand.

"Huh? Oh, right. Keeps fingers...something. Hey."

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hi," Hurley says. "Sorry, I just... guess I'm used to just talkin' to people without... introducing myself. Or... my name's Hurley? I'm kind of new here."

[slayer_fray]

"It's the bar, you'll meet more people that way."

Mel tosses the badge up and catches it in her left hand, presenting the newly empty right to Hurley.

"Mel. You get the speech?"

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"No?" Hurley says, shaking her hand. "Like, a guy told me some really cryptic things, made fun of my weight, and then called me stupid. I really kinda hope that's... not the speech."

[slayer_fray]

"Nah, the cryptic toy and the name calling is just a freebie,"Mel says cheerfully.

"OK, bar at the end of the verses. First drink's free, rooms upstairs. Bar'll run a tab - she's sentient and magic so show some 'spect.

"Rules are no violence, no grudges from outside and no sex. Someone gives you shit find someone with a badge like this. Chances are that about half the people here could pick you up and throw you 'cross the room so watch who you piss off. Some people are dead, others you might recognise from a book or a scope. Don't mention dwarves. Magic tends to run crazy so don't ever eat something that you just find lying around. Even if Bar gives it to you; if you didn't ask for it be ware.

"Apart from that, everything's spled. If you get hit by some random magic, it'll usually wear off, just wait it out."

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"Okay, the first stuff I figured out. The rules, though, thanks," Hurley says.

"So... what's the problem with dwarves?"

[slayer_fray]

"Dunno," Mel says cheerfully. "I never risked it, and I think it's kinda good advice in general."

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"I guess I can't really argue with that," Hurley says. "So you, like, work here?"

[slayer_fray]

"Security."

Mel uses the badge in her hand to tap the badge on her belt.

"Means you get in a fight I get to come break it up."

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"Seriously, do I look like a guy who's gonna pick a fight?" Hurley says.

He looks more like a giant teddy bear. With poofy hair.

[slayer_fray]

"Do I look like a girl gonna break it up if you do?"

[goodolefuntime.livejournal.com]

"...you might be, like, one of those crazy ninjas or something," Hurley says.

Steph only has one, but hers is shinier than Mel's too.

She slides a plate of bacon and eggs onto Mel's table and props her feet up beside them.

"Whose's that?"

[slayer_fray]

"Lan's," says Mel.

Flippetyflippetyflip.

"Door opened."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"Oh."

Bacon, mouth.

"... well, that sucks."

People should not leave. It is not polite.

[slayer_fray]

"Mmmmmm."

One of Steph's rashers of bacon pierces the yolk of one of Steph's eggs on the way to Mel's mouth.

"Raph's back."

Good thing, bad thing? You decide.

[alwaysroomforhope]

Either. Raph wasn't very talky, really.

"He could move in with Indy," Steph suggests brightly, "and Kita and I can just watch the carnage."

[slayer_fray]

"Kita moving in with you?"

Mel approves of that.

"Don't wreck the place."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"Hope so," Steph says, cheerfully. "She won't smell as bad as you."

"...plus, she could use some looking after, I think."

[slayer_fray]

"Yeah," Mel confirms to both.

"I'm thinking fieldtrip."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"Oooh." Steph grins. "I like field trips. Where'll we take her?"

[slayer_fray]

"No clue," Mel says. "Haddyn's ruttin' awful this time a' year. Goldy got a door?"

[alwaysroomforhope]

"... I have no idea. She probably does. Or is sleeping with someone who does." Steph considers it. "I should ask her."

[slayer_fray]

"Or maybe Knox's world," Mel continues. "He's fond of our girl, right?"
