006 ♐ Voice ♐ The party don't start till I walk in

[This time, Barge, you do not get treated to the sight of Archer's face. This is because his recent coma just saw his initiation into another grand Barge tradition: being drawn on while passed out.]

Okay so that's not the first time I've spent a holiday passed out, but it still kind of sucks. At least I missed the community koombayah where everyone goes around saying what they're thankful for. Spoiler alert, nothing.

Are there still leftovers? Is the Wild Turkey gone?

If not, and if anyone needs me, I'll be in the spa and then Rogue's bathroom. With the door locked and the radio on. And the hot water running. For several hours.

Jesus, you guys are like a bunch of frat kids.

It doesn't matter what it is! Nobody's seeing it, end of story, drops mic on stage.

I kept pictures, when I illuminated my people. I wonder if Rogue did?

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah didn't think about it. Sorry, sugah.

[routemistress]

[There are a lot of those pictures Iris won't show anyone, but she has a few cleared for public consumption: the one she shows now is a man's forearm, solid and sparely muscular. It's decorated with an inked cuff of deep amber-gold twining roses, the thorned vines coiled in geometric spirals.]

...That were a long week for me. Can I give 'im booze when 'e comes up?

[codename_duchess]

Yes. Everyone can, and should, give Archer booze.

[routemistress]

Sweetheart. You don't know 'ow 'ard it is for me not to give you booze without asking. But professional courtesy's important.

I'm sure she'll say yes.

[codename_duchess]

She better. Because unless falling asleep at inopportune times is a crime, I haven't done anything to deserve a dry spell. And as far as I know Rogue has no longstanding vendetta against narcolepsy.

[la_belle_rogue]

Course y'can. He's not in trouble.

[routemistress]

Looks to me like 'e soon will be. I think 'e's been distracted.

[codename_duchess]

Please. I am always keenly aware. Like a panther, or a... vole.
