Hair of the dog
Dren awakens to find himself laying on Darla (the blow up doll) with pink
shirt complete with ruffles on top of him. Dren manages to stand and surveys
the room. It's a pretty clean crew quarters. Dren looks at the shirt, maybe
he got lucky. He puts it on along with some khakis he found under the bed.
Picking up his blow up doll he notices a note. It's from some guy named Bell.
Dren supposes it's the bloke who pulled him out od stasis. Dren starts to
hope that he didn't get lucky, he looks at the pink shirt he's wearing. The
note directs him to a place called Parrots. I could use a drink, he thinks.
Parrots 2000- Dren enters the bar, it's pretty busy. He doesn't know a soul
on board. How long was he in stasis? He goes to the barman and orders a sloe
gin fizz, a little hair of the dog that bit him. Dren walks awkwardly through
the bar looking for Bell. He spots him playing pool.
"Hey, Thanks for pulling me out of stasis."
"No problem" Bell replies.
"I'll get you a beer. By the way, name's Dren Walker. Oh, and where are we?
and how long was I in stasis?"
Bell looks a little confused. He is staring at the blow up doll.
" Her names Darla. We're not serious or anything, if you wanna ask her
out." Dren points out the pink ruffly thing he's wearing. " you know, if your
door swings that way."
Take it away Bell......
