>>20070121>[Kelly nods along, alternating who she is looking at until -- wait, did Brian just say bikini party? The mind wanders, but]--"You're kidding. Like, for Priscilla Dumbass-Divine? You'll never believe this, but I was going to that same stupid party. Supposedly it's an 'open invite' or whatever, but... like I said, it's complicated, though, because people can't know that my friend and I are friends. Isn't that messed up? Goddess above, it sucks sometimes. But yeah, I mean, I'm not big on the idea myself, which is why I'm here now. I can only imagine how it must have been for you two... tch. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. Hell, I'm not there either."
>[As Brian and Goss work out their night, Kelly feels surprisingly comfortable. So much better than a bunch of scantily clad drunkards, teasing relationships between incompatible couples, parading themselves around for the false goddess' amusement, right?]"It's all right, Goss. I'm not a huge drinker either. You and me, can work together to make sure Brian here gets home. Just a few blocks is an easy walk, right? But, maybe I will have to go to that damn party at some point tonight, then. I guess I'll work that out when the times comes. But for now... I mean, if old Captain Riley needs crewmates... yo ho?"
>[Omega finds herself drawn to Goss once again. She has definitely seen him before, somewhere. In a video. She is certain of it. But as Brian raises his glass at Kelly once again, and eh returns the gesture with a smile.]"So what do you two do with yourselves?"
