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.

[Your phrasing is confusing... How would she know if you know something? Whatever. She's ignoring whatever doesn't make sense.]

You should show me.

[routemistress]

Entry's conditional on showing a bare minimum of courtesy to the warden in charge, sourpuss.

[force_captain]

This conversation does not involve you, you crotchety old sow.

[This is the minimum courtesy for any woman, Iris. :/ ]

[routemistress]

[The sweetest smile.]

Oh, you're so very, very wrong, duckie. We'll see you at the spa after you graduate. 'Cause you're certainly not getting near it before that. Archer, you're always welcome.

[codename_duchess]

Yes! Um, or I would. If Iris removes whatever she's got up her ass.

[force_captain]

[Brow raise.]

You listen to that old biddy?

[codename_duchess]

Well, she does run the spa.

[force_captain]

Hmph, it can't possibly be that interesting then. [If that old bat runs it, it is clearly undesirable.] What else can you show me?

[codename_duchess]

What else do you want to see?

[force_captain]

Only things worth my while, of course.

[codename_duchess]

Only the best, got it. I can think of a few things.

[force_captain]

Good. I've been terribly bored by this prison.

[codename_duchess]

Has no one given you the tour yet?

[force_captain]

[She does an artful shake of her head, a slow, languid movement that mostly shows of the silky black hair.]

Nope.

[codename_duchess]

Give me twenty -- no, forty minutes, and I'll show you a thing or two.

[force_captain]

[It better be worth it if you're making her wait that long. But she doesn't say that out loud.]

Don't keep me waiting long.

[codename_duchess]

You, waiting? Not in my day planner.

[force_captain]

[She has no idea what a day planner is. But...whatever.]

Good. You can meet me at my quarters. First floor.
