Wong: Something’s….. Something’s wrong…. ::Hic!:: Why do I…. I feel like this…..?
Parker: Could it be the beer?
Wong: I just…. I just had one…. Ha…. My head feels like soup….
Parker: Sounds like you have had your fill of beer, at least for now. Maybe I best settle up and get you back to the ship.
Wong: It’s soooo strong…. Not… not usually this strong…… ::He flops down on the table with his head resting in his arms:: We live…. Onna ship….? Does it have sails….?
Parker: You don’t drink much, do you?
Ikaia tried to focus on the question. Everything felt so fuzzy to him. He tilted his head trying to figure out what he was being asked.
Wong: N…. no….. ::Hic!:: I’mma lightweight…. But tonight, I… I think I punched above my weight class…..
Hannibal chuckled. It was time to call it a night. Hannibal called the waitress over and he spoke…
Parker: Thank you for a great evening. I’ll take care of my tab now…
The waitress seemed taken aback by Hannibals’ request to settle up. She shook her head…
Waitress: Tonight was on us. For what you and your people did. You gave my relatives a new chance at life. The boss feels the same way.:: Looking at Wong:: Is he okay?
Ikaia raised a finger.
Wong: I’m both…. Okay and…. And…. not okay…. I’m awesome….
Waitress: The two of you have been drinking the best stuff we have. That beer was one hundred proof. You’ll find nothing better or stronger out here. ::Looking at Hannibal:: and that whiskey is one ninety.
Had Ikaia been sober, he would have surmised that this was exactly why he was drunk after one beer. Unfortunately, he was far from sober.
Hannibal knew it was strong stuff…his mouth was numb and he felt good. Reaching into his coat pocket, Hannibal pulled out more than enough credits to not only pay for their drinks, but give her a nice tip as well. He spoke…
Parker: We appreciate it. We really do. But I also know that liquor, especially good liquor, is hard to get out here. We do appreciate the hospitality. Express my thanks to your boss.
Ikaia finally lifted his head and pushed himself off the table to try to get a better look at everyone. Instead, he just flopped back in his seat.
Wong: Thank…. Thank you…. Haaa…. You’ve been great….! ::Hic!::
The waitress took the credits, and smiled as she spoke…
Waitress: Thank you.. Thank you for everything. My name is Harriet, by the way…
Parker: Thank you Harriet. I have one more favor to ask…
Harriet: Sure. What is it?
Parker: As you can see, Sawbones here is a little incapacitated. You got another way out of here?
Harriet: Sure. When you are ready, let me know…
Parker: How you feeling Sawbones?
Wong: ::Hic!:: -ackstreet’s back, alright~! Dun dun dun dun……~!
Perhaps that wasn’t the answer Parker would have been looking for. But it was certainly a sign that Ikaia was done. A goofy amused smile crossed his face.
Parker/Harriet: Response.
Wong: ….Across the ocean wild and wide….To where your heart has ever been… I will take you hooooome…..~! ::Hic!:: Waaaait. What…. What are we doing….?
Parker/Harriet: Response.
Ikaia was really confused as he glanced around. He held up a finger.
Wong: I…. I can still walk…. My legs aren’t broke… broken….
He pushed himself off his seat. He wobbled to and fro until finally he flopped backwards and almost out of the seat itself.
Wong: I think…. I forgot my feet today…. I left them in my other pants….
Parker/Harriet: Response.
