[65.0 Video] Because one good turn deserves another...

[brynkitten]

[Bryn turns a video stream and waves at the camera with a wide smile. She seems surprisingly happy, considering the events of the last couple weeks.]

So...in all the excitement and commotion I completely forgot to announce this...Remy's own announcement reminded me...oh, congratulations by the way!

[She winks at the camera and then holds up her

[tanvirus]

[Fuck, what is with all the engagements lately? Is this a normal "your world doesn't exist anymore" reaction?]

'grats, sweetheart.

[brynkitten]

Thanks Tan.

[Bryn would have asked him something important but he seems a little...subdued. Bryn's thoughts to those of concern.]

You okay?

[tanvirus]

Yeah, yeah, just stayed up too late the other night.

So who's the lucky guy?

[Teasing, Bryn. Teasing.]

[brynkitten]

[Oh, well, that makes sense.

Bryn's too much in happy mode to notice if anything's off with Tan's tone of voice, and she starts teasing back.]

Oh, no one special. I picked up this trucker with a beer belly at the bar the other day and after a few hands of poker I came out of it with an engagement ring. Funny, yeah?

[ttlynotawizard]

Stealing my thunder, are we miss Bryn?

[He laughs]

Congratulations as well. Perhaps a joint party is in order?

[brynkitten]

Hardly, Remy. If I was stealing your thunder I wouldn't have mentioned yours at all.

[She's happy, and totally teasing.]

I think a joint party is definitely in order. It's been months since you and I joined forces to throw a bash, y'know.

[ttlynotawizard]

No wonder the parties have been less than spectacular as of late. Clearly this must be remedied.

[brynkitten]

Clearly. I just came up with an idea with Kevas actually. It's going to be hard for you to tend bar until we know what everything is so...we'll have a giant party where everyone tries everything and labels what it tastes like. We can mix drinks better once we know what we're workin' with yeah?

I'm sure people won't mind playing guinea pig in pursuit of better drinks...

[pimp_hat]

Well shit, love must be in da air! Dere gotta be one helluva celebration fuh da two of joo!

[brynkitten]

I think we'll have to plan something. God knows we all need some happy after that mess earlier this month...

[Bryn doesn't want to think about it actually, and moves on.]

What do you think, theme party? Or a "let's all get as drunk as we can" kinda party?

[pimp_hat]

Joo know me, da drunkah I be da more fun I be havin'.

[brynkitten]

Considering the state of things and how nothing tastes as it should, maybe we need a giant "Russian Roulette" party. What do you say, everyone keeps grabbing bottles and tries them, not knowing what they get? We can label things as we find 'em and then put all the good stuff in one place?

[conquistasal]

[Sal isn't as drunk as he could be for this single moment, but enough to have loose lips. And he's remembered how to be happy for this purpose.]

Woah! Shit, Bryn! [He chuckles.] Well, g'job.

But, damn... Guess it means yer really off th'market.

[brynkitten]

A hundred and ten percent instead of just a hundred, yeah?

[She grins. Having old friends reply makes her happy, reminds her that she hasn't lost everyone after all.]

But thank you!

[conquistasal]

Yeah, darlin'. M'real happy fer ya.

[And that's probably where he's going to end it. He just really wanted to congratulate her. At least someone gets to be happy on the boat.]

[Bryn chuckles a bit.]

Thanks.

Is this where those questions came from the other day?

Text

[heavyweaponsbot]

What questions.

[Bryn this is an open channel.]

[brynkitten]

[...it takes Bryn a moment to realize that.]

Oh. Sorry, was thinking of someone else. Been a little scattered, mixing things up I guess.

You'll come to the wedding, right?

[There, a safe subject change.]
