CEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES~

[governorkang]

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;]

"Long as you're doin' your best." Everyone around here did, really. It was nice to see a ship so full of people who were willing to at least try to help. "That's why there're others about, too. Fill in the things you can't, and you fill in the things they can't. Teamwork."

"Cooperation is essential in the smooth operation of any ship," Spock agreed. "I confess I find the lack of discipline amongst this crew somewhat disconcerting, but I will acclimate myself to it in time."

"That it is," Kaylee agreed, though at his comment about discipline she couldn't help but giggle (blame it on the drinks). "Maybe not so disciplined, but enough that we get by 'n still stay our own person."

Her giggling was highly illogical, but Spock overlooked it. "Individuality is commendable, though it appears as though some members of the crew have approached insubordination in the wake of the battle. Such actions hinder rebuilding efforts."

"Everybody's just a bit tense 'n cranky right now," she promised. "It'll get better once things settle a bit and people have time to readjust. Not everybody fixes themselves at the same rate, after all."

Spock nodded in concession. "Humans in particular have many and varied reactions to traumatic events."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

"Exactly." At least he understood that much. "Never know what you're gonna get, especially when somethin's messin' with minds the way the Nightmare King was." She paused and blinked, head tilted to the side. "Vulcans only got one reaction, then?"

[nerve-pincher.livejournal.com]

"Vulcans attempt to react logically," Spock explained. "It is a fundamental tenet of Vulcan culture."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Kaylee raised an eyebrow. "C'mon, you can't be logical for everythin', can you? There's so much of life that ain't based at all on logic. Sometimes you just gotta go with gut feelin's, even if nothin' else makes sense."

Spock paused a moment, considering his next words. "Recent experience has led me to the conclusion that 'gut feeling' is not necessarily incompatible with logic and rationality. It is one tool to be used in the decision-making process."
