Christmas Eve Happy Hour

The holidays are a time for family -- nuclear, extended, and otherwise -- and Nita's been doing more than her fair share of holiday travel as a result. Thank the Powers for her subsidized gating privileges at the Crossings. This year, Milliways is her penultimate stop; she'll head back to Earth to spend the 25th with her dad and the Rodriguezes.

When she leans on the counter, she asks Bar wryly, "So, what dark powers are threatening us this year, huh?"

A napkin appears. "... Kidnapped Santa?" Another napkin. "Pox? ... Monsters, too, huh. ... Wow. But is that it? Really? ... No, I didn't mean it like that, it sounds bad. It's just, you know. Comparatively speaking. ... Well, I'm glad everyone's okay. ... Sure, yeah, if you need the break, but I don't know anything about alcohol. ... If you say so." She laughs softly and pats the counter. "Have a good nap."

Happy Hour Specials
Anything I don't have to look up the recipe for

First drink free if you helped save Christmas
First drink half off if you don't celebrate Christmas
"So, uh, what can I get you?"

A woman -- slim, fine-boned, pointy-eared, white-haired, brown-eyed and with a dark grey tattoo over her right eye -- settles herself at the bar, an enormous brown mabari hound leaning against her knee.

"All right," she says, laying her hands on top of the bar. "I have to ask. What is this Christmas thing that keeps coming up?"

Ysalwen looks a little startled.

"This religion celebrates its messiah's birth? Huh."

Weird.

"What kind of festivities go with it? Feats and gift-giving, some kind of topsy-turvy wildness? I ask because that's what Satinalia is like -- and that's the winter holiday I know."

"Does it count if I don't believe in Christmas and haven't been to a Christmas party in thirty years?" He wonders just why Christmas needed saving, but people do get carried away in some eras.

On Jim's part, he just barely knows the face as someone he met at some point.

"Saurian brandy on the rocks. Seems like I can handle that." When you're off duty more or less permanently, a drink now and then isn't bad.

"How do you save Christmas?"

There is one very confused Red Army corporal staring at the board, frowning as she takes off her trenchcoat and hat. Under the heavy material, she's revealed as a teenage girl who is far, far too thin.

On the plus side, she doesn't smell that bad today. Huzzah to retaking town that still had running water.

"Um. We don't have Christmas."

The Fool looks at the specials and then gives the girl behind the bar a rather flat look.

"That's rather rude," he says.

"You're punishing people for not knowing or celebrating a holiday. What if they're part of a religion that doesn't celebrate it even if they're from Earth? And of course there are the people from different worlds who have no idea what Christmas is. So there's no real way for them to help save Christmas and earn the free drink if they don't know such a thing exists or because they don't give a rat's ass about it," he says.

"Which, if I remember correctly, is not really part of the Christmas spirit, is it?"

"Really dear, if you have to ask, I'm not trying hard enough."

Coyote grins at Nita.

"I don't celebrate anyway. It does not matter how secular it is these days, I am tired of getting it shoved down my throat. Celebrating the New Year is far superior."

Eric leans on the counter and looks at the specials board.

He is looking better than he did when he arrived, though still pale.
Of course.

Tall, black dressed, in a tank top that shows off his arms and chest.

The set of his mouth can only be described as wry.

Hmmm, pretty face.

He smiles. But he is not up for subterfuge tonight, so he just says, "There are some bags in the fridge with donated blood. One of those. Heated."
