Mimi shook her head. "It is not that I ate well before I came here. There is a strange.... tingle in my hands and tail and... What else is in this drink?"

Miraj giggled, her pink bunches bouncing. "Its an earth drink. Fermented sugar cane. It was used on Earth sailing ships during the golden age of pirates, and beyond. It's yummy."

"Fer...mented." Mimi repeated the word, there was a little bit of a slurr becoming evident in her voice. "You mean it is alcohol?"

Nesh rolled her eyes. "Of course its alcohol. We're off duty and in no danger of getting any duty. Time to kick back with the real thing. Quit mewling, kitty, and get with the program."

And now the conclusion...


[ON]

Abbey watched the exchange "Perhaps she should take it a little easy, I don't think she's used to drinking is much as us." She said smiling at Mimi, abbey had a crush on the woman and she didn't hide it well but Mimi in all her beautiful ignorance and naivety couldn't see it. Lingering on her for a second too long she downed her drink quickly fell back looking up to the sky.

"I have never *hic* had alcohol before." Mimi was glad she was sat down.

"Liar!" Nesh gasped, not believing her for a moment. "Did you go to the same academy as the rest of us? I can take that you are a virgin, or that you've never had booze. One of the two. No-one who got into the academy is that sheltered. They screen for suicidal naivete you know."

"It is true Nesh, I have not had alcohol before, I do not *hic* know how my body will take it..." she slumped down onto her back.

Nesh pushed her sunglasses down to stare at the nekomi girl's recumbent form. "Badly apparently."

Seeing Mimi slump backwards, Tuula sighed and reached for her purse, which, as always, contained her favourite medical tricorder. "Let me take a look at her," she said as, slightly tipsy, she struggled to transfer herself onto her hover-chair. "Some species don't react well to alcohol; hopefully her physiology can handle it..."

Abbey sat up "Let's play a game! Spin the bottle truth and dare, all this talk about alcohol is making me thirsty and I hope to look like Mimi by the end of the night" She joked.

Tuula just rolled her eyes as she floated towards Mimi. With her tricorder, she carefully scanned the Nekomi woman. "No more for her; in fact we should get her a glass of water. Apparently her species are a bunch of lightweights."

Miraj rummaged in her picnic bag and brought out a bottle of water, tossing it to Tuula. "Truth or dare?" If you want to get three sheets to the wind, then Never Have I Ever is better."

"With you two debutantes?" Nesh said with skepticism. "I suspect Abbey and I would be paralytic whilst you were as sober as a judge." She looked over at Tuula, "Not sure about you, though. Could go either way."

"I think Tuula will be very drunk too." Mimi said from where she lay.

Abbey rolled over onto her front closer to Mimi, "Yay, you're still alive" she looked down at the woman and smiled, a small smile but Abbey knew if they were alone she'd have no problem telling Mimi how she felt about her.

"She is; just barely," replied Tuula, hovering herself back to the lounge chair. "All this sun... I enjoy the warmth; I just worry that I might get a tan and lose my pale complexion."

"Its practically night time," Nesh pointed at the sun, making a dive for the horizon, turning the sky a gorgeous golden yellow. "I'm sure you'll survive until dark. Let's take your mind off it." she raised her glass, and gave the goth and the former solider an evaluating look. "Never have I ever...slept with a superior officer." She slurped up a fingers worth of her cocktail.

Mimi giggled slightly, she rolled onto her front her tail poking high into the air.. "Who was it?"

"Is anyone else drinking?" Nesh ignored Mimi's question for the moment, wanting to see who else might have been putting it about.

"I tried," mused Tuula, holding her drink. "Unfortunately, my feelings weren't reciprocated..."

There was pause as everyone considered. "Who's next?" Nesh asked brightly.

"I'll go," interjected Tuula, as the others debated who was next. "Never have I ever," she started, in a tone that was lackadaisical with a hint of exasperation, "worn a ball gag in bed." With that, she took a large sip of her drink and looked around.

Nesh looked at Tuula. "Funny. given your amputation fetish, I'd have thought you would be giving rather than receiving." she raised her glass in toast, then took a mouthful of her own.

"Amputation fetish?" replied Tuula, in a frustrated tone. "I'm a professional; I just have a hobby of collecting memorabilia related to my career path."

"What is a ball gag?" Mimi asked, her youthful ignorance showing through again.

"Well, you see, when a man and a woman love each other very much..." started Tuula, in the tone of a fifth grade sex ed teacher, "sometimes one of them likes to be handcuffed to the headboard and silenced while..." Seeing the confused expression on Mimi's face, she sighed. "You know what, just read some of those Laura Hall novels. Just make sure you use silk ropes and not nylon." Her nose wrinkled slighty as she thought about some of the less than professional writing in the novel. "That's chafe city."

Miraj wrinkled her nose. "Don't you, don't people, just bite through them? I mean if its for stuff with whips and riding crops and stuff." The hybrid had gone a bit pink around the edges. "Stuff that's supposed to hurt. "

"Quality gags are made from a hard rubber that is very resilient," explained Tuula. "And with the leather straps and buckles..." Seeing Miraj get even more embarrassed, Tuula trailed off. "So, how about you do one," she asked.

"Hmm." Miraj thought about it. She wanted something she could drink to. "I have never...Dressed as a member of the opposite sex." That would do. "And I don't mean like just wearing trousers like the uniform, I mean dressing as a boy. Man. Whatever." She grinned and took a very satisfying slurp of her Zombie.

Mimi laughed. "I think that would be a funny thing to *hic* see, but your hair would give you away."

"I tie it back." Miraj said. "And I do it historically, in a period when everyone wore long hair. So. Are you drinking?"

"I have not done it, it is easy to tell a male Nekomi from a female one." Mimi said.

"Does Halloween count?" asked Tuula. "I mean, I did dress up as Flotter one year..."

"Who?" Nesh asked, poking at the drink she wasn't going to be able to drink from this round. She'd never heard of Flotter.

"Remember? From Flotter and Friends?" replied Tuula. "In my defense, I was six."

"I guess so," Miraj said uncertainly. "I mean, if I'm counting my adventures as a fictional cabin boy, then why not."

Abbey sat back up, she had zoned out the alcohol or the fact she was wishing she could be alone with Mimi right now was intoxicating “I dressed up as a boy once, back in the “Mirror universe” she said using her hands gesturing air quotations “It was.... odd” she admitted. “What time is it?” She asked sleep washing over her.

"Time for another drink," replied Tuula, polishing off the remainder of her drink in one gulp.

Miraj looked at Abbey with great curiosity, "What was odd about it? Don't people dress up over there?"

“Well I killed the guy I was dressed up as, I was tasked to infiltrate a crew and get close to the captain. He liked men and well...” she was about to when Mimi interjected some conversation.

Mimi rolled on to her back with a smile on her face. "oooh I have one, never have I ever....." She suddenly went silent as she passed out mid sentence.

Abbey giggled before pushing herself off the floor “I’m going to take our feline friend to her bed, I think she’s had enough. I’ll be right back” she didn’t need to wait for answer it was clear Mimi was done and abbey was feeling to great herself.

"Lightweights," murmured Miraj in mock disgust. "You're all lightweights."

"Well I guess if your not getting any, all you can do is pickle yourself in pirate themed booze." Nesh said. "The rest of us don't need such a consolation prize."

"You're such a bitch," Miraj gave a her a mock glare.

Nesh only laughed. "Bitch, I may be. better a bitch than an old maid."

Tuula just rolled her eyes at the banter before taking a long swig of her drink.

Miraj sighed. "Hurry back," she called to Abbey then had some more cocktail. "We were just getting started." She pulled some more things out of her bag with a bit of dejectedness. "I was going to make s'mores."

Abbey helped herself up of the floor and dusted herself down. “Come on you let get you to bed” she bent over and took Mimi’s hands and pulled her up. “Come on” she said again as she guides her back to bed.
