"This is only a small cruiser, not even a battleship or a dreadnaught.
This is the only one I managed to salvage and fix up after the Manticore system collapsed.
The rest of the entire Manticorian Navy is just floating in orbit around dead planets in far away solar systems."

* It sinks in* You mean as powerful as this ship is there are more that could toss it away like a plaything. *then it hits me* I'm sorry, you lost your planet to eh?
-
"No, just one of my many homes.." *The bartender returns with a plastic pitcher in hand and begins to pour a bubbling dark green liquid into both of our cups* "Ah... Thank you" *The bartender nods, then moves on*
-
* I look down and swirl the green liquid in the glass, sniff it* What is it?
-
"Evil Juice!!" *I grab the cup, a bit falls out and eats its way through the wood of the bar* "I just love this stuff" *I take a huge swig of it* [spoiler]Imagine about 20 shots of good Russian vodka in each drop of the stuff. It's that potent.[/spoiler]
-
* I shake my head and then down the cup, almost cringing as it goes down* That is strong, you were right. It puts my stuff to shame. *I then pour another from the pitcher*
-
*I laugh, already partially drunk* "Now if only my fairy friend would show up, then it would be a party... Heh. She sure knows how to have a good time." *I take another drink, a slightly smaller one*
-
*has a confused slightly drunk look* Fairy friend? *takes a second to reflect and the laughs* You know after all this you'd think nothing would surprise me. *drinks second drink*
-
*I laugh, reeling a bit* "You know... I've always wondered something"
-
*I look up from my drink* What would that be?
-
"How many licks does it take to get to the center of a toosie pop? I've lived for over 10,000 years and have never found the answer." *I shrug and take another drink*
-
* I laugh pouring another drink* That's a long time devoted to a human candy. Ten thousand years, you've aged well.
-
"Actually I just haven't taken the time to figure it out. Well, I'm an elf. We don't really age that much"
-
* I drink the third drink* So I've noticed. Phew this stuff is strong. I'll have to stop soon. In any rate I think a scientist once tried to solve it and he had no such luck.
-
"Yea, and I was the one who hired him to do it!!" *I rock back, now on my 3rd cup* "Thish.... Ish.... Good stuff."
-
* I look into my fourth drink and drink it* This is going to hurt in the morning, but if I want to make it back to the barracks I can't drink anymore. So tell me about you people, you clearly know humans.
-
"Well, Genellians are stuck up, hard-ass and ready to fight. I've only been with em for 2000 years but I know that for sure."
-
*I chuckle* Sound like they know what they are doing, the battle proved that. And before them?
-
"The Manticorians. Served in their Navy in the war against Haven. Long, bloody war. Thousands of lives lost, hundreds of ships destroyed. Before then.... I wandered the multiverse. Went insane for a few hundred years, then got bored with that. Snuck into the TARDIS once and trained with the Sith for about 500 years. They were fun to hang around with."
-
*an obviously puzzled look on my face* What's a TARDIS and who are the sith?
-
"TARDIS, Time And Relative Dimension In Space. And the Sith are an ancient race that has superpowers that can do some really cool stuff"
-
*Shrugs* Sounds like fun. In your travels did you find someplace truly peaceful? A place where you can forget your troubles?
-
"I thought I found it in Manticore for a while, but Genellian has taken it's place. Got my mom and dad living there, so its always interesting"
-
*I nod my head* I see, in any rate thank you for this. After what happened I think I needed it.
-
"Bah, always willing to get drunk for a friend. Or for anyone really." *I finish off my 8th cup, then set it down* "Even Coyote stopped at his 8th when he knew he was flying that day."
-
*Again puzzled* Coyote? A famous pilot of yours a presume?
