[Let's say Natasha is there first. She's waiting at the corner of the bar with a bottle and two glasses.

She likes to be prepared.]

You did make it.

[irrevenant]

Yeah, finally.

[ she eyes the glasses ]

And you're essentially my favorite person here so far.

[ is it rude to pour them both a serving? Or... maybe two servings. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[It's not rude as long as she pours for both of them.]

Yeah? We'll have to see if that lasts.

[irrevenant]

Right now I'm optimistic.

[ she does pour for both and offers a glass clink ]

So, is this place entirely an armpit or are there perks? Bar excluded, of course.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I'm not the one to ask. I haven't been here that long either. Showed up the other day... still here.

[irrevenant]

Yikes. My condolences.

Know of any reason we've been kidnapped? Because I'm really not feeling it and I have shit to get back to.

[outstandingbalance]

Only what anyone can tell you, that we're some aliens' version of the reality TV.

[irrevenant]

Okay, that's fucked up. We're entertainment now?

[outstandingbalance]

Welcome to stardom?

[irrevenant]

Are they always watching?

[outstandingbalance]

I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't trust anything's safe from the audience, even if it's safe from other... abductees?

[irrevenant]

Perverts.

[outstandingbalance]

Whatever gets the ratings up?

[irrevenant]

I guess if they want to watch shitty amateur porn, that's their problem.

[outstandingbalance]

So far, it hasn't come up.

[Lifting her glass and drinking deeply.]

[irrevenant]

I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or congratulate you

[outstandingbalance]

Are either of those really in order?

[irrevenant]

Probably not, but I'm working with what I got. Can't blame a girl for trying.

[outstandingbalance]

And just what are you trying to do?

[irrevenant]

Carry a conversation? Get drunk? Not freak out that I'm in freaking space, for one.

[outstandingbalance]

I can probably cover those first two for you, at least. That last one... I can't make promises.

[irrevenant]

It'll work for now.

So, what'd you do before you ended up here?

[outstandingbalance]

I'm in intelligence.

[It was Natasha's standard answer, when she wasn't pretending to be someone else and didn't have a cover to maintain. Here... there's reasons not to lie.]

[irrevenant]

You're the fuzz?

[outstandingbalance]

Do I look like the fuzz?
