CEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES~

Several buildings in the City had been completely destroyed during Aang's rampage, but a few had survived relatively unscathed. It had only taken Kang two days to repair the Drunken Dragon; he'd done so by himself, not even waiting for his leg to heal up a bit first.

Usually, he didn't bother lighting any candles or using the fireplace in the tavern unless it was a period when the artificial sun had set. He could see perfectly fine in the dim light. For the celebration, though, he'd thrown the windows open wide, scrounged up every candle he could find, and started up a fire, knowing that human vision wasn't as good as his own. The tables surrounding the stage had been cleaned, as well as the tankards, and the door was propped open. The bozak had even wrestled two of the 60-gallon barrels from the back room into a corner of the main room for easier access, one of cactus juice and one of ale. If more was needed, he was sure he could get someone to help bring out another.

Tess had commandeered the kitchen to make her food, bringing in her own equipment. Kang had been slightly afraid at first that she was going to burn the place down, but nothing had happened yet. She seemed to know what she was doing, even if she'd given him a few scares.

The sunlight glistened on the old sword blade teeth and dinnerplate eyes of the comical-looking wooden dragon grinning above the entrance. Come in, relax, have a drink and a bite to eat!

[OOC note: Both drinks are alcoholic, and the cactus juice has twice the kick of the ale. :D;]

Spock glanced at the newcomer. Most unusual, indeed. He was, in his own way, just as curious as the small blue creature.

"...Fascinating."

"Yeu is Pock-kit. Rrrr-enne s-mell yeu. Wi-th Dahm-mit Djihm."

Chirp. The big ears give a flick-twitch and the very warm-temperatured beastie tries to lean in for a closer sniff.

Clearly a being relying on olfactory and tactile senses to learn about the world. One of Spock's eyebrows went up as his mind went over the unusual speech. "If you are speaking of Captain Kirk, I am, indeed acquainted with him."

"Eee. Eey-ess. Is Dahm-mit Djihm." Sniff.

Chirping curiously, the oddity's big ears repeatedly flick-twitch forward and back. They even occasionally twist a bit as the oddity sits back on his very large, webbed feet.

"Yeu is Pock-kit. Bu-t noh sa-me Pock-kit?"

Sniff.

Spock paused a moment. "I am Spock," he repeated, somewhat unwilling to admit that he might know what the small creature meant by 'not the same'. Now that he had ascertained a bit more about the nature of this ship, and met Jim, he didn't plan on making a secret of it, but he felt it would be important to tell the Captain himself before it became generally known to the rest of the crew.

"Eeee. Pock-kit. Pock-kit, wha-t Buhll-kin be?"

He's met several duplicates and alternates of people, mostly during his prior travels before Stacy had gotten to him. Even with all that though, there are still endless things to ask about, to learn about.
And it's the first thing this critter intends to do.

Spock, still unsure how to proceed, tilted his head slightly. "What is your name?"

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Eeee. Is Rrrr-enne." Chirp. Now, if he had two eyebrows rather than just one, the effect of said one eyebrow going up might be a little less....ridiculous.

"Renne." Spock repeated the name carefully. He was curious as to this creature's species identification, but unsure how to phrase the question in a way that would be both understood and inoffensive.

"Eee."

Chirp. Yep, he's sniffing at you again, Spock. And there's something tucked under one skinny arm. It's a plushie, rather new compared to his other one but said other one's hidden in his pocket.

[identity profile] nerve-pincher.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Fascinating." Spock leaned down slightly to get a better look at what Renne was holding.

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Eeee. Fass-uh-nayte. Pock-kit say tha-t worrrd 'lots."

It's not an insult. It's just a curious little thing the oddity finds himself grinning a little at. The plushie? It's got Renne's hair for hair, little wire "glasses" and it's dressed in tiny denim overalls.

[identity profile] nerve-pincher.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Spock continued to inspect the plushie. "'Fascinating' is a word I use for the unexpected," he explained.

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Ooooh. Pock-kit noh ahs-peckt 'lots?" Chirp-snuffle. He's got a tiny grin on his face here and his skin is beginning to literally flash with colours of curiosity.

[identity profile] nerve-pincher.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"I find you to be unexpected," Spock admitted. "I have never encountered a creature like you." He was, of course, not passing judgment, simply stating fact. He was just as curious about Renne as Renne was of him.

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Eeee!"

Worry not, he's actually blushing a bit. Well, "a bit" being a robin's-egg blue on this one's normally dark face.
And then his ears come down just a bit and his voice softens. It's not quite gloomy, just on the edge of stating a simple fact and the long-healing of a very, very old wound.

"Rrrr-enne be ohn-lee one."

Spock nodded. "I comprehend your feelings. I, too, am alone." There was, of course, Captain Kirk. But it wasn't the same Captain Kirk he'd known, and more than that, Spock was very likely the only Vulcan on this ship. The only Vulcan still living.

"Eeee. May-bee, Pock-kit noh be ah-lone naow? Wi-th sa-me thin-g, Pock-kit ahn-d Rrrr-enne un-derrr-stahnd."

Pardon his dismal English and...oh, the flashes of colour on the skin! Nervous/fearful amber. Concerned blue-indigo and a touch of bright ultraviolet.

"Perhaps you are correct, in a sense," Spock commented.

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Eee." Chirp.

"Wha-t Pock-kit li-ke do? Wha-t be Buhll-kin?" Oh aye, the Flood of Questions cometh!

[identity profile] nerve-pincher.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Spock considered this. "Vulcan is the name of my planet of origin, as well as my species.

"I am a scientist."

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Ooooh! So Pock-kit be smahrrrt? Is Nurrrrd?" So curious. So blasted curious...

[identity profile] nerve-pincher.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I am unfamiliar with this word, 'nurd'," Spock replied cautiously.

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Eee. Nurrrd. It mean yeu is smahrrrrt ahn-d yeu kno-w 'lots."

Chitter. He doesn't insult folk unless he thinks they deserve it.

"A slang term perhaps?" The corners of his mouth tilted down slightly as he considered this. "Illogical, as all slang is."
