[visual | location: a Wilde bar] the streets of gold i've yet to find

[eggplantgout.livejournal.com]

After February Jason needed several rounds of a good beer. Drinking on his own was fine, but not knowing where his own local bar was located, in his opinion, was just sad. It didn't take long for him to find what looked like a sports bar. Thankfully it looked much more like Merlotte's than Fangtasia.

When he sat down and ordered what was on draft the bartender slid across a full mug without asking for payment. Looking confused, Jason asked the extra how much his drink would cost him. After informing him that during the month of March, all alcohol was free in Taxon, the bartender left to bustle about his busy non-business.

Jason quickly pulled out his tablet, eager to be the bearer of good news. "Hey, I dunno who all is watchin' this but alcohol is free all month! I don't care what anyone else does, but I'm getting myself trashed right the fuck now. If you wanna make it a party and join in I am ok with that too."

Kaylee, unsurprisingly, was very pleased with this particular transmission. The lure of Free Booze was all it really would have taken to catch her attention, but the fact that there's a good looking guy announcing said free booze? Taxon did have its better days.

"If you turn around and say you're jokin'..."

Jason was more than happy to receive a reply. He wasn't quite certain if anyone would be paying attention, but it seemed like luck was on his side when an attractive young woman answered.

"Ma'am, there's no way I'd joke about free booze." It's as close to a solemn vow as Jason is bound to get. "Come see for yourself if you don't believe me."

He seemed true enough to his word, and with Taxon giving freebies out in the past this didn't seem so far off. If it was true, Jayne would be more than easy to please for the month.

"Just might," Kaylee replied, checking to see exactly where the transmission was coming from. "Who should I be lookin' for when I get there?"

Free booze? Loki can't even properly drink the stuff, but the very idea sounds awesome. Plus now that the zombies are gone, he's starting to realize how weird it feels to be so by himself here.

"Fuck yeah. Where are you and how do I get there?"

"Um, I'm somewhere in Wilde. I don't exactly know the name of this place but if you look at the map I'm the dot that says Jason Stackhouse."

A bar is a bar. Not much investigation went on.

Well, this has perked Elisa up.

"There's free beer?"

"Free beer, free everything that'll make you drunk. Think it's everywhere, not just the bars."

Jason was starting to think that he deserved a medal for spreading the best news ever.

[ visual ] i am so sorry for this.

Angel scowled, disgruntled, at the image of the unfamiliar man on the screen. It wasn't Jason's fault, it was the alien's, but that didn't mean Angel was less unimpressed than he was the moment he'd noticed the hatches were providing alcohol free of charge. There was no need to ask why, but he still didn't approve.

"The point, it's completely missed."

...context would have been nice there, Angel. Sorry Jason, this one's an Irish native and doesn't approve of the Westernization of a holiday he used to take very seriously, once upon a time. America, stop bastardizing culture.

[ visual ] never be sorry for shenanigans!

[eggplantgout.livejournal.com]

The point must have been missed because Jason had no idea what Angel meant. His face reflected as much as he looked at his tablet with a confused expression.

"Uh, I think I got the point. Free means you don't pay."

Free is my favorite word.

[Angela, you damn alkie. Please sit down.]

Would you look at that? My favorite word is beer. Plus orange because it doesn't rhyme with anything.

Hell yes.

There's a cold one waitin' here with whatever your name is on it.

"Why?" Brennan asks in confusion, a frown knitting her eyebrows together.

Why what, one may ask; why was Jason planning on getting trashed, why was the alcohol free, why for the party - who knows exactly, but the anthropologist is suspicious. Why isn't anybody else?

[eggplantgout.livejournal.com]

Jason is going to go with what to him seems like the most obvious why.

"Why's the booze free? Hell if I know, but the bartender's been keeping his word. Good enough for me."

And what do you do with an unlimited supply of free alcohol? That's where the trashed party comes in.

Oh, Jason.

"Free booze?" Paul asks, then laughs shortly.

"If this is their way of making it up to us...... what the fuck, I'll take it. Who are you, I don't think we've met yet?"

"I don't think the aliens care about making up nothin'." He's never eloquent, but Jason usually has no trouble in getting his point across.

"Jason Stackhouse. Got here right before the zombies." Despite his recent change in occupation, Jason neglects to introduce himself as Officer more often than not.

You're kidding?

Not kidding. I know you probably don't know me, but this ain't somethin' I'd joke about.

"Alcohol on the house, as it were?" The man laughed softly, shaking his head a bit. "I suppose we should be grateful for small comforts..."

[visual]

[eggplantgout.livejournal.com]

Of course it was on the house, what else did free alcohol mean? "You call free booze all month small? You know how much we'd all have to pay for it back home?"

Jason didn't know either, but he could guess a high number.

I miss when everything was free.
