Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Re: Colxfile discharges himself

OOC-Sorry this is a few days delayed, but I ended up
spending Thanksgiving at Vyvyan's house and not
bothering with any mail for the last couple of days.

few drinks and I'll be the one kicking bottom-your
bottom-at air hockey. I haven't lost a game yet."
"It's not that hard a game, really," Colxfile said.
Jeri pointed an amused finger in his direction.
"You're not trying hard enough, then. I've been
teaching my daughter how to play since she was born."
"You're a mom?"
"Yup, just got back from maternity leave," Jeri
explained. "My little girl, Darla, is with her dad
now."
"Your husband," Colxfile assumed.
"No, not married. Couldn't bring myself to do it.
Darla's dad and me are just good friends now." Jeri
pushed back her hair, which was starting to fall out
of her ponytail. "C'mon, let's go get a beer and play.
Nothing to do here."
"Yes," he agreed. "Strange that a mining ship has been
sent out to find another mining ship, and doesn't do
hardly any mining."
She shrugged. "Hell, just makes my job easier. Now,
let's go!"
