"...That sounds cartoony I hope you realize. Like an actual cartoon character with cartoon physics."

[notyourrookie]

Wash groans. He'd bang his head against the bar except that would mean bending and he is pretty sure it will hurt. "Look, sometimes falling from things onto other things is just part of the job. Unlike cartoons it fucking hurts."

[alphawho]

"Once again: maybe get some ice and someone to make sure you didn't fracture anything?"

[notyourrookie]

"I didn't." Probably. He's breathing fine. "I know what cracked ribs feel like and this isn't it. I'll just ache for a few days. It's not like I fell off a skyscraper or got a car thrown at me. Again."

[alphawho]

"You fell off a skyscraper??"

[notyourrookie]

He shrugs one shoulder. "Well, it was less fell and more... jumped. Because the ship fired from orbit and blew it up so it was that or die."

[alphawho]

"...Your fucking space marine life, dude." He shakes his head. "For real."

[notyourrookie]

"It was a hell of a mission," Wash says, and there's a hint of a grin on his lips.

[alphawho]

"You gonna be actually okay or are you just saying it to seem all tough and badass?"

[notyourrookie]

"Are you gonna believe me if I say I'm fine, or do you need to do a physical exam for yourself?"

[alphawho]

"I only give booze as prescription meds, not actual meds. I'd be a pretty shitty doctor."

[notyourrookie]

"Good thing I'm not looking for meds then," Wash replies.

[alphawho]

"You're looking for drinkable painkiller, and I got it all right here."

[notyourrookie]

"What do you recommend? For medicinal purposes?"

[alphawho]

"You know, you are allowed to come in with your own preferences. If I were you I'd just start hammering back shots until colors start blurring together and you can taste purple."

[notyourrookie]

"On the ship it was either the cheapest, strongest shit we could get, or crappy beer. I like trying new things. But tasting purple sounds like an excellent plan."

[alphawho]

"So, I mean, I guess I could make you something raspberry-ish? Or something?"

[notyourrookie]

"Sure. Hit me up. I'm gonna be here for a while." He wants to drink until nothing hurts.

[alphawho]

Something raspberry with also plenty of booze it is. "So like it was a job right? Not you playing like vigilante hero and got your ass kicked or something dumb?"

[notyourrookie]

"There you go, mistaking me for an actually decent person," Wash replies, rolling his eyes. "Yes, it was for a job."

[alphawho]

"Well you're sure as fuck not an un-decent person. Indecent? Indecent person."

[notyourrookie]

He snorts. "I'm definitely not a good one. And I think indecent means something else. Like... sexual something else."

[alphawho]

"It means like taking your clothes off in public, I guess, but shut up, I was trying to find the opposite of decent and that's what I got."

[notyourrookie]

"Nah, I wouldn't do that," he says. Communal showers are one thing, public is quite another. "I'm just an asshole."

[alphawho]

"I haven't seen it, but I guess being an asshole of some sort sometimes is a requirement of being a merc. Here, drink your stupid raspberry nightmare of a drink."
