"What's this, then?" It's all the man in the doorway can think to say, as he steps, for the first time, into the bar. He's wearing his engineering uniform, since he's supposed to be in the galley for lunch, and not in an interdimensional bar.

This man, however, is adaptable. Time on a miserable iceball has taught him to never take a meal for granted, and especially not to refuse a proper drink. He steps in farther, and the door closes, disappearing, for the time being. Not that he notices. Doors closing behind him were never creepy.

Montgomery Scott looks around the bar, and while there are many he knows are not human, he doesn't bat an eye. Instead, he makes his way to the bar, looking around with the sharp curiosity that makes him so good at his job. It's also the kind of curiosity that gets him in trouble more often than he'd really like.

(Open until tonight, no slowtimes after Tuesday morning PST)

"Oh, for fuck's sake."

Gus? Is seriously not amused right now.

"Never seen an Irish one before," Gus mutters.

We do apologise for the rather ethnocentric American, here.

He just stares at Scotty for a long moment, hoping that maybe he won't have to explain himself.

Gus just blinks up at him.

"Better than hard of thinking," he says, mostly to himself, but loud enough for Scotty to hear.

Still, he puts on his amazingly friendly smile and sits back in his seat.

"Three rules," he says. "No sex, no violence, no business. No fun, if you ask me. First drink's on the house, so make it a good one. I recommend the Atlantean or that Pan Galactic thing, whatever it's called. Food's good, but stay away from the women, 'cause they're all a little nuts around here."

This may actually technically count as violence, depending on how you look at it.

Gus will insult anybody. He doesn't even need to be asked.

"Oh, yeah. Menu's great. Try the paradox."

Okay, that one is an honest suggestion. Only because he can't think of anything on the menu offhand that may cause damage to his latest doppelgänger.

"Yeah, sure. Why not?" Gus says, without even thinking.

World's worst welcoming committee, this. Sorry, Scotty.

"Welcoming committee gets half of whatever you're having."

See?

Hey, he hadn't expected that to work at all. He'll take it!

"Long as you leave some for me, I think I can manage to not rat you out."

Hmm. Hardly the sort of situation to resort to awkward threats. He's never been very good at them, anyway.

"Hey, man. I'm just telling you the rules," he says. "Inter-dimensional bars at the end of the universe have strange rules, and you gotta follow them."
thanksrainman: (don't be stupid)

Gus laughs.

"Officers?" he asks. "Man, you're not in Kansas any more. Head of security is an actual god. As in, raised the mountains out back, will turn you into a mouse if you piss him off, god. I'm pretty sure he's the one clown in this place that wouldn't be fooled by some party trick."

Gus. Just stop now, while you're ahead. There's a reason no one likes you.

"No, usually he just sneaks up on you. He's kind of a prick, really."

"Brothel's upstairs," Gus says casually. "And I think I have heard something about some triple-breasted hooker from some other planet. Never met her myself, though."

He's dead serious.

Scotty! <3!

The Starfleet uniform on Scotty is not the only one in the bar; Pavel is in his Academy reds, having shucked his jacket and draped it over a chair beside him as he reads a PADD over his--very, very late--dinner.

Eee! Your icon is adorable. Utterly. :D!

Chekov looks up, the same babyfaced young man he will be when Scotty meets him, but younger for now: he blinks once before he smiles and nods.

"Yes, sir," he says, already familiar with getting attention for being the 'whiz kid' at the Academy. It's no big secret he's going into navigation. While the Russian accent mars hi word some, it's still easy to translate, relatively. "Pavel Chekov."

Hee. It was useful finding the ones for Pavel, too. I should have more non-canon ones.

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Is a pleasure, Mister Scotty," he says, practically beaming at someone who recognizes him, not thinking he can't possibly be the same Pavel Chekov.

"Most people just call me Chekov," he says, "Or viz kid," he adds with a tiny askance look.

"Scotty," he amends. "Is not so much ze recruiters as much as ze Conserwatory of Astrophysics," Pavel notes with a grin. He notes Scotty's engineering uniform with a nod.

"Vhich ship are you on?"

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Pavel blinks. "But ze Enterprise, she is not finished yet," he says. "Vhat year are you in?"

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"I am a year behind you," he says calmly; he knows he's top of his class, and that he's asking for the Enterprise for his assignment. So it doesn't exactly surprise him that Scotty might recognize him from the ship, if he didn't go by the Academy.

"She is as beautiful as I zink she vill be?"

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Pavel smiles, laughing to himself, and has to nod. "Da, ve do. It does not help zat I am sixteen, and eweryone is older zan I am already."

He shrugs; he's pragmatic about this. "I cannot vait until I am out of zese," he says, picking at the red undershirt.

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Pavel laughs at this, able to all too clearly imagine it. "Vell...I should be in gold or blue," he says thoughtfully. "Primarily gold, I am hoping."

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Admiral?" he questions. "So soon?"

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, zis should be a wery entertaining year," Pavel says, "If all zat is in store."

[personal profile] i_candozat 2011-03-28 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
He grins. "I hawe heard about your transporter theories," he says. "You vill explain ze premise to me?"
