[Sliiiiiding into the bar.]

Do you have anything low on alcohol content? It would be a waste not to try anything, but it's no good for a doctor to drink too heavily even at an occasion like this, either.

Well, good sir, there are at least a couple drinks on tonight's special menu that can be made virgin. Mavnoor is... best described as similar to a beer, but Martians like their alcohol strong, so it's still probably a bit much for you.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] Go 'round and 'round)

[Eyeing the menu. He! Wants! Alcohol!!]

Just a little should be fine. How about a paloma?

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Just a little alcohol for the good doctor.

[ And then he pours him a "Paloma"—like its namesake, grapefruit, lime, tequila, sugar, and soda. It's sweet, refreshing, tasty—

but there's a sort of bitter aftertaste that's not quite like grapefruit that underscores it all, and a flash of furious sorrow followed by homesickness. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Surprise] like a dirty rag)

[Well, it was nice until it abruptly wasn't anymore. Once again, he has made mistakes.

With a soft cough to cover the sudden mood swing, he'll attempt to force himself back into character.

Thank you, my good sir. How have things been for you so far, anyway?

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well enough! I hope you haven't had to see any patients on this fine night.
bondsofsuffering: ([Sorry] the dead ends as)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
None yet, and hopefully none for the rest of the night, either. Have the guests been keeping you busy?

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, excellent to hear! We can only hope.

And I've been busy enough, which is always a good sign for the party, of course. Plenty of people having a good time.
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] after all)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, of course!

[Just keep smiling.]

You must hear all kinds of interesting things at parties like this... Can't say I'm used to it, being so busy with my own work.

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Is there anything in particular you're looking to hear about? Or simply just what might be interesting?

I have heard that both the lecture hall and the ladies' retiring room will have presentations shortly.
bondsofsuffering: ([Soft] a never-ending nightmare.)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Anything that might be interesting, really. You miss out on the gossip when you're up to your elbows in work trying to stave off death, after all.

What kinds of presentations?

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
They've had all sorts of entertainments, sir—musical performances, scientific demonstrations, art shows, shows of talent—I don't know what's on the schedule for tonight, but it's sure to be intriguing.
bondsofsuffering: ([Think] out of it)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'll have to take a peek, then.

This may be a little bold, but... has anyone seemed troubled tonight?

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... actually, there was a gentleman who came by for a drink earlier who also had his own flask and seemed a bit unhappy; I think he said he was going to "stare into space and contemplate the void," so he probably went to the outer deck.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] discovering that despair)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound bad... Hopefully he's doing alright.

I'll try to check up on him.

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, thank you—after all, wouldn't want him to drink himself to death.
