Eric sits at a bar stool, chatting up the barkeep as he sips from a tall glass. Besides him, as unconscious man with a bloodied nose lies on the ground, with tissues hanging out of his nose. Eric's speech sounds normal, despite the amount of alcohol he has ingested.
"You see, the worst things in life come from conscious decisions. That asshole, chilling down there."
He jerks his finger to point down at the man by his feet,
"He chose to be a dickhole, and he chose to pick a fight with me. But the best things, they don't come from thought. They come randomly; from instinct or chance. For example, I didn't choose to be so damn handsome, I just am. Well, I didn't choose to get on this damn ship too, so hopefully this shit will work out."

"I'm Cyra. What's your name?"
-
"Eric, Eric Stratos. Pleasure..." He offers his hand to shake
-
[b]She shakes his hand. Her hand is extremely cold[/b]
-
His hand is comparatively warm, "So, what brings you here?"
-
"Just the FN, my friend recommended it."
-
He smiled, yet it only reached his eyes. There, she saw desire; clearly she was very attractive to him, "Really? It's interesting, how one simple decision could lead to the two of us being here... Some would say that it could be fate."
-
[b]she smiles back[/b] "It might just be"

-
"Sorry, but I have other things going on at the moment. Maybe later though".
-
Still grinning, he nods and says, "Well then, I'm off to bed. You'll know where to find me if you'd ever like to." He places his room number on the bar, and then walks away, presumably to his room.

[b]She puts the number in her pocket and walks off to her room[/b]

[b]Mallana sits down at the other side of the bar and orders herself some Chardonnay. She throws Eric a glance, admiring his attitude.[/b]
-
Eric takes a double take when he sees an actual female sit down at the bar, and signals the bartender for another round as he slides over to where Mallena is, "Chardonnay, nice choice. I've always been a fan of a nice Pinot, but a good Chardonnay never fails. What's your name?"
-
[b]She gives him an amused smile.[/b] [i]"Mallana, Mallana Cardinal. And you, handsome?"[/i] [b]She gives him a wink and takes a sip of her newly arrived drink.[/b]
-
Eric raises an eyebrow as he extends a hand for her to shake, "Handsome? Haven't heard that one before... Eric, Eric Stratos. Nice to meet you Mallena. Say, what's a good looking girl like you doing on a ship like this?"
-
[b]She shakes his hand, giving him a sly look.[/b] [i]"I came here for adventure mostly. I like an exciting story with lots of guns and explosions. Maybe a little drama, some romance... The cheesy stuff, y'know?"[/i]
-
He chuckles when you mention the romance, "Romance on a ship full of dropouts and space-lunks? That's a funny way of matchmaking, if you ask me. Say, what kind of things are you into with guys?"
-
[i]"Almost anyone, sweetheart. I like all types, but I think your kinda class is at the top. What about you? You got a preference?"[/i]

-
[i]"Then maybe we are a perfect match."[/i] [b]Mallana finishes her drink and rests her head on her hand.[/b] [i]"I mean, you've got a nice face and your personality is damn hot. Really fiery, I'm into that..."[/i]
-
Edited by GingerlyWalnut3: 12/28/2015 5:32:36 AMWithout really thinking, Eric slides the bartender some credits for your drink, gets up, and takes her hand; after all, this is probably the best chance that he had, "You think my face is hot? Well, I'll show you hot Mallana. Follow me."
-
[b]She giggles playfully. Her hand feels warm and soft. Anticipating gleams in her eyes.[/b] [i]"Oh, please do..."[/i]

He leads her all the way down to Deck Three, where his room is located. It's a nice looking room at first glance, besides the strewn clothes on the ground, but the bed will certainly do. Once there, Eric let's go of your hand and turns around to face her, "Your move babe..."
