buywithme[There's a considerable amount of background noise to this post, as Prefect has clearly set off into one of the more busy parts of town.]
Okay, so, No one died, no one was tortured, nothing terrible happened, and now we're at a port which... actually doesn't seem that bad. So far? I'd say this is my favorite overthrowing of the dominant power structure, so I think it would be a good idea to quit while we're ahead and never do it again please.
[There's a little pause, along with the sound of a locals voice close to the communicator, followed by a slight scuffle as Prefect retreats quickly. When he speaks again there's a slight agitation in his voice.]
Which is not to say that this place is anywhere close to perfect, Comrades, the entire concept of even attempting to get clean in those--
Just--
Uh, I'd rather not think about it actually.
[OOC: Prefect found the Roman Bath houses! Also, repost so it's AFTER Kirk's announcment]

Date: 2009-08-06 11:22 pm (UTC)[Which Kirk knows from first hand experience. Getting off the Barge isn't the only reason that there's a bounce to his step.]
"C'mon. I'll get you something to drink."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-06 11:29 pm (UTC)[Prefect suggests, eying the mass of people milling around them, but at the suggestion of alcohol his disapproval seems to fade. He gives Kirk a slightly disapproving look.]
You know, you're going to get in a lot of trouble when we're back on ship.

Date: 2009-08-06 11:50 pm (UTC)"We can worry about that later. Right now, it's time to have fun and relax. You know how to do that?"
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 12:23 am (UTC)You said something about buying me a drink?
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 12:45 am (UTC)[He grins and jerks his head towards one of the buildings.]
"Maybe we'll even find you a girl."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 01:21 am (UTC)[Prefect says curtly, but he does turn towards the building that Kirk is indicating and heads that way. Alcohol is always a good idea.]
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 02:05 am (UTC)[Kirk smirks over his shoulder, resisting the urge to grab Prefect by the arm and drag him off to the drinking like he would with Bones. He remembers that Prefect hates touching. Sort of.]
"Nothing wrong with liking guys, Prefect."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 02:48 am (UTC)I don't want a guy either! I don't want anyone, because everyone is weird and clingy and pushy and I just want to drink by myself and that's it!
[And on into the alcohol halls they go! Prefect appreciates the not touching, and trails in after Kirk a little sullenly.]
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 03:27 am (UTC)[Clearly, Kirk is doing Prefect a favor by drinking with him. And he gets to enjoy more of the local flavor. So everybody gets to win.]
"What's with you and not liking people anyway?"
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 03:30 am (UTC)[Prefect replies, wandering towards the Roman equivalent of the bar at Kirks side.]
I just like them... at a distance. They can do what they want to do, and I'll just... stay out of their way until there's something they need.
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 04:09 am (UTC)[Kirk orders them a couple of drinks, something that not even he has had before and is probably several levels below the kind of quality that they're used to. But it's all in the experience, right?]
"You gotta live more, Prefect. You're weird cause you have no sex."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 04:23 am (UTC)[Prefect actually sounds slightly hurt by this, but upon thinking about it he gives a despondent little shrug.]
Okay, I am weird, but I don't want to have sex, and no one needs to have sex with me.
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 04:32 am (UTC)[Kirk picks up his drink when it's set down in front of him, in glasses because you know... that's how they do in this Rome.]
"I bet I could find someone in here that wants to sleep with you."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 04:38 am (UTC)[Prefect picks up his own drink as well and takes a swig of it. It burns down his throat and he feels a pleasant warmth go through him. Better than expected.]
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 05:54 am (UTC)[Kirk nods safely, suddenly understanding the whole problem. Prefect doesn't have any self confidence. And that is a terrible thing because it's not like he's a bad looking guy.]
"They're insane because they want you? Prefect, I don't want you to think I'm hitting on you but you are not a bad looking guy."
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 12:53 pm (UTC)[Prefect gives a slight huff, he didn't mean it like that. Plus? Now Kirk is totally hitting on him.]
I just... I don't know why, but I attract people who are... Look, the point is? even if I did want to have sex? I don't need you to help me find someone, and I'd regret it afterward when they were clawing at my door with their stupid ugly purple coat all irate because I'm not talking to them.
[Oh yeah, you'd better believe Prefect remembers that stuff!]
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 05:35 pm (UTC)"What people in stupid ugly purple coats?"
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-07 06:56 pm (UTC)Just this guy, he was gone before you got here. We were sort of friends, but he had this... I don't know, Comrade. He was just weird, threatening. That's the kind of people who I seem to attract.
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-08 12:08 am (UTC)[He drowns his sorrows in his drink, finishing it off entirely and signaling for another.]
"Do you have any good stories? Or are all they all kind of shitty like that one?"
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-08 12:13 am (UTC)[Prefect replies shortly, before finishing his own drink and pushing his glass forward for a refill. Kirk's paying. It's all good.]
How about you?
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-08 12:57 am (UTC)[Kirk grinned and lifted his glass in a toast to himself, pretty much.]
"I saved the world and then there was this other time that I drove a car off a cliff and I also have totally had sex with an Orion."

Date: 2009-08-08 01:03 am (UTC)I had alien eggs laid in my stomach and when they hatched the alien ate it's way out.
[That was kind of a good story!]
Oh, and I sold this bag of cocaine to Tobias Hankel and he took too much and cut open my wrist and my thigh with a screwdriver. And stabbed me in the neck with it.
[Pause.]
And I got killed by The Daleks twice and Charlie Prince once and The Master loads of times, and--
[He continues listing.]
Action Spam!
Date: 2009-08-08 06:07 am (UTC)"To living!"
[He clinks his glass against Prefect's, completely interrupting the recounting of deaths.]
"And coming back to life!"
