Bel, Erskin, and Jethro: Be celebrities.

    The saltwater pool isn't a recuperacoon, but it's close enough that you nod off in it (once you're done complaining to Pancho about how Erskin used you as a substitute Cloris and then walked off like you were a used facial tissue). When you wake up you're chilled, your fingers and toes are wrinkled, and your hair is a joke. You take a long, long shower.

    It feels good to be clean. Already your mood is looking up. It's nice to dress in something other than tactical gear, too. Erskin seems to have picked up some kind of hipster fashion disease from Cloris, so you don't want to be too casual, but you're not going to compete with him either. White jeans, light blue tank top, and a jacket with your sign on a shoulder patch should about do it. You put your hair up, pluck a few stray eyebrow hairs -- Pancho keeps telling you you don't have muppet brows but she's wrong, okay -- and pronounce yourself handsome enough not to be an embarrassment to your vicinity.

    Feeling basically okay, you step out of the bathroom -- and let out a loud "WHAT the FUCK?" before you can control yourself. Whoops, the others are still sleeping.

    After another moment's perusal of the wreck that used to be the suite's lounge, though, you decide to be loud on purpose: "ERSKIN DISASTER ASPERA, DID YOU TRASH THE SUITE?"

    "Fuck!" You yowl, jolting awake with a pistol in your hand and a headache that encompasses the entire rest of your body. "Wh0? Where??"

    Then you look around. "Oh, right, yes. I did."

    Words fail you. You just make a broad gesture taking in the wreckage, and stare at him, mouth hanging open, shaking your head slightly.

    You accept this as your rightful due and nod as graciously as possible without your head falling off. "Pretty good, isn't it?" You observe. "Look how deep I got the scratches. I bet they'll have to replace the whole wall."

    "I can't pay for this." You sit down heavily on the one chair that still has all four legs. "Literally can't. This room is on my credit and I. Was this a pitch gesture or were you just not thinking?"

    "What? No, don't be dense, it's my bloody rampage, I'll pay for it. It's just that you murdered the love of my life and I decided I was actually rather hacked off about it, so there you go. Wholesale furniture slaughter."

    You rub one of your horns. "I'm still pretty fucking well angry, but I think I'm done breaking things for now. What would I do, pitch an ice bear off the landing? That's just silly. Give me your phone. And whatever vodka's left, I feel awful."

    "No you can't have my phone, what happened to yours? And of course you feel awful, you meathead, the 'love of your life' abused the hell out of you, not that you're apparently capable of processing those words so whatever. Get dressed, we're going out for lunch."

    Jethro, still half asleep with his lusus's paw over his face, paps Erskin in the chest with his phone.

    "I never had a phone, you galloping ninny," you say absently, poking at Jethro's phone. "And I junked my computer on the run. Here, what's the number for the front desk...? Ah, here we go."

    Number obtained, you make the call. "Right, hello, this is Lord Aspera. I'm in the room on Bel Kadros's account? Yes, the blueblood. No, the one with the forked horns and the stupid face. That one. Yes. I broke the room, can you take the whole thing out of my stipend? Right. Yes. Okay, good. That's Erskin Aspera, hex code 83025c, authorization 'swordfish'. And I want another room. With a salt pool, yes, I liked that bit, I didn't break that bit. Alright. Yes, somewhere fancier. Yes. The fanciest. Thank you. Much obliged. Goodnight."

    You sign off and hand the phone back to Jethro, then raise a very pointed eyebrow at Bel. "I want a drink," you repeat. "I'm not getting off the floor until I feel a damn sight less terrible."

    "Then I'm going to lunch without you. I'm still sulking because of your little fuck-and-run trick earlier. You were pretending I was her, weren't you? I hate you so much." But as you're getting up to stalk out, you spot the half-full vodka bottle, so you scoop it up and fast-pitch it at his head.

    ((if he doesn't look able to catch it, jethro will stop it with his psi before it can hurt him))

    You grab the bottle, fumble it, and catch it again. "You're welcome for not being broke, you big wiggler," you say, saluting him with it, then unscrew the cap and help yourself to a bit of relief. Jethro makes a grumbly noise and you pat his face till he stops. "Where are you going, anyway? I'll come along when I can manage a vertical position. And walking."

    "Oh, I'm supposed to forgive you for all but calling me Cloris while we were fucking because you're deigning to pay for what you broke? Thank you, Milord, you're SO gracious." You sweep a deep, sarcastic bow, and end up sitting on the floor holding your head. "Throw that here when you're done, I could use some hair of the barkbeast myself."

    Jethro levers Paw's paw off his face and squints at you one-eyed. "Lunch?"

    "I don't know where. I haven't exactly been doing the tourist rounds for the past two weeks. I've been eating protein bars and sleeping in the flier. I just figured I'd ask the concierge for reccommendations."

    "'Oh Erskin, my dearest, do you want me to bite your neck?'" you mimic in a deep, stupid voice. "I didn't start it. But by all means do keep reminding me you shot my Lady in the head, that's really going to make me interested in saying hello to your recreational bits ever again."

    You take another heavy gulp of the drink, assess whether or not you're liable to throw up, and toss the bottle back to him. You didn't screw the top back on, though, so it spatters him satisfyingly in the face when he catches it.

    You snicker.

    "God damn it." You're going to need another shower if you don't want to smell like an alcoholic. You stomp back into the bathroom. You take the bottle with you.

    "Oh, we tried that yesterday, it was awful," you say, carelessly, and lever yourself upright using Paw's bulk. "How're you feeling, love?"

    "Like the drama truck backed over me twice. And then exsanguinated me. But then I had strawberry cake, so." You essay a cautious stretch, and your head doesn't throb too much. "Eh, I'll do. Reckon I could manage lunch iffen you two hatebirds can keep the bickerin' to a dull roar."

    "I'd like to just get roomservice but apparently we're going out." You grimace, and look through your knapsack. "Hell, I don't have anything to wear that isn't basically a rag with sleeves, I didn't think to keep anything nice in here."

    You settle on clean, if somewhat tattered, shorts and shirt, the brown and green sweater from Jethro, and your Lady's scarf. It's decent enough, and you actually rather like the color gradient. It's fierce, even a bit threatening.

    Your leg's been... bleeding? Running, anyway. You've been too hard on it and nasty patches have worn open all around the interface, and you sigh, sit back down, and rummage around for gauze. You can feel the bioware pulsing hot and feverish under your raw skin, and you bind the mess up, working itself tightly into what little flesh you have left. It doesn't seem to be enough, though, the responsiveness of the prosthetic is worse than ever. With the instability of your knee, the flaring burn of your hip, and the necessary level of inebriation to tolerate all the rest of what's wrong with you, you suspect you'll be flat on your face the minute you attempt to get anywhere.

    "I need a cane," you say, rummaging through your syladex, but you've lost even the walkingstick Jethro helped you with. "Hell. Jethro, darling, do you have a stick or anything? I'm all out."

    You put out a hand to gingerly touch the swollen flesh near the prosthetic, and wince; it feels warm even to you. "Babe, I don't think you oughtta go out, except maybe to get that fixed. You definitely better not walk on it. Where's that four-wheel device the hotel folks brung me in on?"

    "What," you say, your fins flattening back. "I am not getting in any device, four wheeled or otherwise! I'm indisposed, not crippled."

    "Settle down, boss," you soothe, petting his grumpy head. "Be real, okay? That hurts just lookin' at it. Don't walk on it."
