Post Mission Party At The Bar

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

Its time to unwind, relax and receive news of home. A pod pop occurred while some were on a mission and it's time to meet up with new friends, drink well with old, and relax.The Drunken Dragon has opened its doors and stands ready and willing to assist in forgetting the trials those on the mission experienced.




OOC: If you want a specific barmaid, just put their name in the subject. Otherwise, enjoy, intermingle and do as you like.

Kang hadn't actually mentioned to very many people on the ship that he had children. Unless it came up in conversation, he hadn't really felt the need to start talking about it, especially since it just made him think of his family and worry about them more than he already did.

He also tended to not indulge in PDA very often, though he'd gotten used to it coming from certain people. A hug every now and then from some of the females he'd grown close with, or sometimes a kiss on the cheek from Kaylee, but never much more than that.

So, it was probably a bit of a surprise for the older crew members to see him sitting there with a young one sitting in his lap and practically clinging to him, about the height of a human child of ten or eleven. They were talking in Nerakese, so sometimes a word here or there didn't translate properly, and they were clearly happy to see each other.

It didn't look like either one of them wanted to be separated from the other any time soon.

[This is for anyone that wants to talk to either of them. They're... not really paying much attention to other people unless directly approached.]

Fletcher had come down to the tavern to help welcome back everyone from the mission. He was so glad they were safe and sound, so he wanted to say something.

When he came across Kang, he stopped and tilted his head. There was another Draconian here? And... a younger one, at that? (He assumed, from her size.) But Kang's children were a lot younger than this. So who could this be?

"Hi!" he said curiously.

[governorkang]

"Fletcher!" Kang grinned at the boy. "I want you to meet someone. This is Kali, one of my daughters. Kali, this is Fletcher. He's a friend of mine."

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

"Hello." He was rather small for a human, even smaller than Ash, who was, by far, the smallest human she had yet to encounter.

"It is nice to meet a friend of my father's." It was not a casual word, if her father said he was a friend, then he must be one of the good humans.

Kang wasn't difficult to spot, so right after Jr. made his way into the tavern, he figured he'd go over and say hello.

"Hey--" he started, and then tilted his head every so slightly in curiosity. He didn't know there were more like Kang on the ship. And the way he seemed so happy to see her on top of her height ... was she one of his kids? Or a younger sibling of some sort? Jr. remembered seeing Kang conjuring up a home with a handful of children in the Sensoriums once before, but they had been so young.

"Hey," he said again, this time addressing Kali as well.

[governorkang]

"Jr.," Kang smiled, glad to see him without the damn brand glowing on his forehead. "Apparently, there was a pod pop while we were gone; this is one of my daughters, Kali."

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Junior." She smiled, polite and uncertain as she studied the human child, one arm hooked loosely around her father's neck.

She gave every appearance of shyness, more than willing to duck into her father unless addressed directly. It had been a very long week for her.

Wings were the reason Nanaki finally entered the Drunken Dragon. He had saw a flash of giant wings through the doorway, only they seemed a lot bigger than Kali's. Slowly, he had crept up to and into the doorway, pausing to peek in to get a better look. And there was Kang and Kali, in each others' arms and talking. So she had found her father. Or rather, uncle, as far as Nanaki still knew.

He didn't want to disturb them, if they were busy talking. He figured they might have a lot to catch up on. But he was curious all the same, to get a better look at Kang. So he took a few steps forward, silently craning his neck forward.

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

"Nanaki." Kali's smile was welcoming as she slid briefly free of her father's grasp, crouching so they were at eye level. "I am sorry, I have been dishonest with you, Nanaki, until I could be sure what was happening. My name is Kali and I would like you to meet someone dear to me." Her voice was soft, formal, but she wanted him to find out from her, not from others. "I was looking for my father, and I could not be sure if being taken meant I was to be used to harm him in some way. Please forgive me and come meet my father."

[governorkang]

Kang let Kali go and listened as she introduced him, smiling. "So you're Nanaki. She was telling me about you, and exploring Hydroponics together."

It would be rude of Eva not to at least say hello, though she feels plenty of guilt that she couldn't have Kali feel safe in her home. She's already given Marco an earful about it.

Still, she can't help but feel incredibly happy to see Kang looking so happy to be around his child. She certainly hoped for as much all those times he'd expressed mournful sentiments about his family's absence.

"So, how are my favorite Draconians?"

[governorkang]

Eva would be able to spot the slight bit of sadness in the smile Kang gave her, at the fact that Kali was so much older than he knew her. He patted the bench next to them, motioning for her to sit, "This is just what I needed after a shitty mission. I'll tell you about it later, though; thank you for watching over her for me, Eva. I know you didn't for very long, but still. Thank you."

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Miss Eva." Kali smiled, nestled comfortably in her father's arms. "Very well, thank you for asking." For once she looked like a child, dwarfed by her father's bulk, half hidden under his wing. She looked happier and more relaxed than she had since she had woken up on this living ship surrounded by strangers.

"Miss Eva helped me quiet a lot, Papa."

Trudy took a few moments to get a drink from the bar and chat up a few other people who were there before she headed over to bother Kang and Kali, to give them enough time to get the reunion out of the way.

When she did walk over, she clapped Kang on the shoulder. "Good to see you make it back in one piece," she said. Not that she worried much, since it was Kang she was talking about.

Then she turned her attention to Kali and said, "You little snot, you told me you were his niece." She was smiling though - it was pretty clear she was teasing the kid.

[governorkang]

"I've got some stories for you later. I was considering nuking the entire damn planet from orbit at one point, it was that bad." Trudy knew Kang well enough that it wasn't completely a joke, too. "But, like I said, later."

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

"In some situations, when you are uncertain, the best way to survive is to lie." She did not look particularly apologetic, she had done what she thought was needed. "I thought it wise at the time, I apologize for deceiving you."

She tipped her head to look at her father, taking note of the comment and making a curious humming noise in the back of her throat. "Nuke, Papa?"

[cow-abunga.livejournal.com]

"Heya Kang. Good to see you back. I'm assuming this is one of your munchkins?" Cowabunga, followed by Humar, said with a smile.

[governorkang]

"It's good to be back," Kang smiled back. "This is my daughter Kali; Kali, this is Cowabunga."

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

She had been well trained not to stare, but she had to pause for a moment, looking back up at her father with eyes full of doubt before shaking off the immediate reaction and speaking, tone as polite and welcoming as she could manage. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Cowabunga."

After hearing of those involved in the recent mission's return and the mission's turn for the worst Bight had decided that a particular discovery of his in their time away would be something to lighten the mood for at least one of his fellow Council members. A cask he had retrieved from the cellars of his recently reacquired palace, one containing a particular Draconian beverage, Cactus Juice. The cask strung over his back not unlike a backpack as he carried it along from the closest stop on the train line, a rather useful service, to the closest stop to the Drunken Dragon, carrying the no doubt heavy cask as easily as one would carry a regular light backpack.

As he approached the door to the Tavern, he unslung the cask and tucked it under an arm and strode on in. It wasn't hard to spot Kang, and indeed the one that had been supposedly his niece in his lap, or rather daughter as it certainly seemed, confirming his suspicions when he'd first met her. Nevertheless the sight did make him pause for a moment, bringing a smile to his lips despite the conflicting feelings and emotions that were quickly put in line.

In little time he strode over to their table in his usual confident manner, a smile given down to them both, "Welcome back aboard, Kang, I come bearing the gifts," He greeted even as he brought the cask around to place on the table before them, the markings on the cask could easily signify it's origin of make in Teyr. "It is good to see you again, Krisi, though that is not your proper name now is it," he greeted with an amused smile down to Kali.

[governorkang]

Kang quirked an eyebrow ridge at the sight of Bight carrying an entire cask of alcohol like it was nothing, figuring that he was using magic to do so. When he saw the seal on the cask, his wings flared out slightly in surprise, and he smiled widely, "You found your palace, didn't you?"

Laughing, he looked down at Kali, "No, her name is Kali. She was very clever, pretending to be her cousin in case she'd been nabbed to be used against me."

Dean was being quiet about checking into the tavern. He just wanted to grab something stronger, and slip out again. His weary green eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and relaxed at no sign of Kaylee. He was just about to the bar when he noticed Kang smiling, and a little one that was clearly one of his clinging to him.

Well at least things are going right for somebody. He gave a small tired smile at the sight.

[governorkang]

When Kang noticed Dean, he looked up and smiled back, waving the man over.

Okay, so a bar wasn't really Cassie scene at all, but she'd been exploring again and had ended up in front of it. Now, feeling a bit lost and turned around on this spaceship that she'd decided was entirely too large, she decided that she'd stop inside and at least ask for directions. Assuming that she didn't get turned away immediately for being underage... was it even possible to be underage on Stacy? Cassie blinked at the weird thought, thrown off for a moment.

She sighed and entered, feeling a bit down. But she brightened when she spotted Krisi in the bar next to what looked like a much larger version of her. Another draconian? Her uncle maybe? He would be the only other draconian that she knew of on the ship, not that there couldn't be more, but this one also happened to be standing with Krisi, so...

Cassie moved quickly over to them. "Krisi!" she greeted happily. "I'm glad to see you!"

She then turned to the larger draconian and smiled, although there was a distinctly cautious look in her eyes. She liked and trusted Krisi, but she wasn't sure what to make of the draconian that she assumed was Krisi's uncle Kang. Marco had been quite certain that they couldn't trust him and some of what she'd heard of his past actions did seem to confirm that conclusion. Still, it didn't hurt to be friendly for now. "Hello, sir. I'm Cassie. It's nice to meet you. I assume that you're Krisi's uncle?"

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

The noise Kali made in her throat was somewhere between amused and startled. "Cassie, hello." She glanced behind her. "Is Marco with you?" And there was an equal amount of guarded caution, of fear, even standing in her father's shadow, of the human male.

She would be safe with her father, but she still wanted nothing to do with Marco.

"Papa, this is Cassie, one of Jake's group."
