( Oh hey, it's Mal, wreathed in blue smoke, but clearly in one of the rooms of the tavern much of the party's taken residence in. If it looks like he’s trying to work the video and isn’t sure what he’s doing? Well. That’s what’s happening and why you get a view of some very dirt caked hands and mostly his nose at first. )

Alright, alright– ( Enter McCoy, who gives Mal's shoulder a comradely shove, and thus pushes him gently out of frame.

The doctor schools his expression into seriousness, having the bearing of an esteemed orator at a lectern, on the cusp of imparting some heretofore unheard-of wisdom.

...if only. )


Mr. Oretsev has so kindly asked me to convey to you all that the Great Mulgrowe's pipeweed, though of excellent quality and astonishin' strength, is completely useless when it comes to assistin' with the mission.

( A pause here, because he briefly turns back to Mal for confirmation. The other man has gone and draped himself in a chair with his pipe, as loosely-boned as Alice's indolent caterpillar. Mal offers a dreamy little wave, and a kind of proceed gesture to McCoy, who turns forward again, rolling his eyes genially. )

He also wishes for me to invite all y'all to vibe with him, as soon as it's convenient. Which is, to say, right now.

( The second Bones says ‘vibe,’ Mal can be seen mouthing the word a few times with an expression that reads ‘I have no idea what this means’ before he slowly slides off the chair he’s seated in and and on to the floor with a soft thump.

Bones is trying so, so hard to keep a straight face, his Georgia drawl thick and sweet as molasses, threatening to muddle into something utterly inscrutable if he talks for any longer.

So, of course, he does. )


I'm here – ( Ah'm 'a here- ) – to remind y'all ahead of wherever this cockamamy mission drags us into to take advantage of how flush we are in clerics right now. There ain't no sense runnin' headlong into potential danger if you're already hurtin'.

If you think I'm referrin' to you – Daisy, Itachi – then I am. Every one of y'all's important to someone here, even if you don't know it. Even if they don't know it.

Honor them by tryin' your damnedest to live, and to live well.

( So there. Satisfied, he leans back on his heels, and gives Mal another glance.

And Mal has managed to stand up and is now trying to lean, oh so casually, against the chair he'd fallen off of. He offers a thumbs up. The corner of McCoy's mouth curls into a smirk, as he adds: )


He says 'and bring sandwiches'.

[Ah, yes, it's the half-dragon birthday boy!

He wastes no time in playing out the likely anticipated song of celebration.



This lute is getting some mileage.

It ends on a smug, contented:]


Haaaappy biiiirthday to meeeee!

That's the second birthday in a row that we're stuck on a mission. Man. But at least this birthday wasn't me stuck on a western-themed planet where we literally ran out of food to eat. That was a real freakin' bummer. [... well, it was the worst part until the townspeople turned into ash, but we don't talk about our traumas, new bloods] You guys better tell me happy birthday by the end of the day, or I'll cast a spell on you.

.... Mmmmnah, that would be too easy.

I'll just follow you around playing nothing but the happy birthday theme.


But the point of this wasn't just to shout at the rooftops that I'm 37-years-old! I spoke with the barkeep, Fribbington? What a queen, guys; I'm so jealous of her beard. Do you know how hard it is for me to get one of those? It's borderline impossible.

Ah — Right. Like, I spoke with her, and she really does not like Jun Shortaxe. Something about being sure you and him are on the same side, because it's not always that clear. But she had a lot of good things to say about Dweyre — that he was smart as a tack, helped a lot of people while in their party, best in his group at the Knights of the Seven Sisters... that after he died, nothing was ever really the same for them. I wish I could say anything else about the conversation jumped out at me... but...

Oh!

She mentioned the heirloom was some kind of scepter.

Round and royal-like, passed down through the kings. So valuable to King Zaros that he was willing to send parties after it and into deadly situations. Apparently this kind of gig, it would have set up Fribbington and the Brigade for the rest of their days as adventurers.

Unfortunately, things went really sideways. You know.

But uh! Yeah, that's all I got. I gotta admit, I've never been very good at finding the little details when it comes to things like this — maybe that's the ADHD talking. Either way, I'm almost done with the Ballard of Dweyre, so make sure you stop by the tavern and give a listen.

... Also, like. Cake. I want cake this birthday.

Someone around here has to have cake.

And I've also got an important questionnaire for everyone, by the way; no rush to finish it, it's just a little something to pass the time. Especially you new people. New people are required to fill this out.

[Anyone who knows him knows he's full of shit. But the text file comes through:]

mal and i went into the forests of gha’har today, and we've got some information.

we’ll keep this short. we met the great mulgrowe, the songbird brigade's druid, and he told us his version of events.

he told us that the last ones to see the heirloom were the songbird brigade in the silver caverns. they saw it before they were attacked and retreated to save their friend's life…


their friend, or their leader, who's stronger than ever now. they found the dragonborn thief who'd stolen the heirloom, he said, but they were attacked by others trying to protect their home. they were losing the fight badly, until a flash of bright light ended the battle somehow. he couldn't say how, only that they had to retreat to save their friend's life.

which contradicts what we’ve learned about who the leader was if their leader survived. or someone’s lying.

( have a (mostly) professional, boring PSA, y'all: )

Attention Orbers, this is Dr. McCoy.

With the recent departures of Dr. Epps and Mr. Hicks, we're now down two medical professionals. In light of that, and with the mission hampering our usual magical healers, I'd like to remind everyone to restock your first aid kits as soon as you can.

Orbers new to the Ximilia can pick their kits up in the infirmary– yours'll be in the canvas bags. If you have questions about anything in the kits, I'll be here for another couple of hours, or you can reach out to any of the other medical staff on the station. For new medical staff– ( he means you, Yujin, ) –come by asap, I've got somethin' special for you.

For the sake of not drawing attention to ourselves, I recommend those with existing kits to camouflage them accordingly. Please leave anything single-use in its packaging– I'd rather some peasant yokel get a brief glimpse of a wrapper than any of you catchin' some kinda horrific alien infection.

McCoy out.

Oh man, we have new blood again? Welcome aboard!

I've been saving these stickers for the occasion.

[He sends a snapshot of the stickers in question:]



If you're not a newbie and you really want one, I barter in any of the following: snacks, shiny rocks, manga, monster movies, cool figurines, cigarettes, conversations about tattoos, spaghetti or any type of noodle, cute dimples, cheek kisses, compliments about my boots, neat pictures of any manner of phyla, a tall can of pringles, pens with blue or red ink, caffeine patches, 80's or 90's band shirts, things that hover that shouldn't, fancy scissors, dinosaur stickers, or coffee.

Just come on down to the lab and get your very special prize!

If I'm bumping into tables and jumping six feet in the air because you so much as sneezed in my direction, it's because I'm temporarily blind and literally can't see my own hand in front of my face.

Ciao!

( let's just rip the bandaid off, with one (1) straightforward Starfleet doc currently lounging on a (possibly familiar) garden veranda in the sim room. he gives his earpiece a tap. )

I hear tell I missed a scary town, a sentient imaginary friend, and a volcano.

( does he wince a little at that last thing? maybe, yeah... )

Everybody still got all their fingers and toes?
