[So a Time Lord walked into a bar... Ahem. Rather, Omega is sitting along the outdoor part of a happily deserted onsen on the first floor, vaguely contemplative. Since he's a stick in the mud not really the onsen type, he's still dressed in his normal clothes, and doesn't seem all that bothered by the heat and steam. In his hand is a glass of something that is very likely alcoholic, judging from the presence of a small bar nearby.

However, if he was banking on the Time Lord alcohol tolerence, he's going to be sorely disappointed. Why? Because of hijinks! Also he's a bit of lightweight on the best of days anyway. Rass mocked him mercilessly for it. Time Lords are going to find that their awesome ability to not get drunk has vanished. Because it's funny.

...Obviously, someone should take advantage of this situation. :|]

[Nine is not, actually, completely dressed. Nor is he completely naked. Yet. He is, however, wearing a robe (which looks ridiculous, but when in Japan Rome...) over his swimwear, and a towel slung over his shoulder.

He pauses when he sees Omega, debating whether or not to avoid him. Considering the last thing the Founder said to him, he's not sure his presence would be welcome in the least. So simply walks by and gets himself a drink - it's Omega's call whether or not he stays]

[Fortunately for Nine, Omega happens to be a pretty mellow drunk. He glances up when Nine passes and narrows his eyes, but otherwise he goes back to staring at the hot springs for several long moments, silent.]

[Nine takes a long sip of his rather strong drink, before letting the masochistic part of him win over as he walks up to Omega, putting on a ridiculously fake grin] Never imagined you were much of a drinker.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

There is alcohol on Gallifrey, Doctor.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[rolls his eyes] Well, yeah, but I figured you were a bit too stuffy for it. Wouldn't want to impair your judgment.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

I am currently undergoing a forced holiday, and Gallifrey physiology makes it extremely difficult to become intoxicated. I see no issue with indulging occasionally.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] Fantastic. Have you tried indulging in the hot springs yet?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

No, and I will not be.

[He likes his privacy, okay? Also, ew, lesser species. :|b]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[raises an eyebrow] Not even once? You're going to get a bit bored around here.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But I am certainly used to boredom, and there is enough here to keep me occupied. [like the cool green ring he's wearing!]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[and Nine will be taking a look at said ring now] Green? My roommate's got a ring like that. It's even got the same black band around it. Can you take yours off?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

[frowns, irritated] No, I cannot. And before you ask, yes, you are giving off a purple glow.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Have you seen anyone else with a purple aura? Or any other colours?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Doctor Jonathan Crane has both a yellow aura and ring. Yours is the first purple one I've seen.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Dr. Crane? [blinks] Diva mentioned him. Haven't met him yet, myself. Any idea what the colours mean? [and he will be helping himself to another drink now]

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

[downing the rest of his own drink] I believe they are linked to certain emotions. Green represents willpower, although I am uncertain as to the meaning of the others.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[nods thoughtfully] Sort of wonder what colours my selves have got. Haven't seen any of them around, have you?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Not as of yet, no.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Let me know if you do, yeah? [pauses for a long moment, downing his entire second drink in one go] And try not to get too angry at them. They're not the ones that ought to be blamed. [neither is he, technically, but that is beside the point]

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Hm. I shall keep it in mind. [goes back to staring at the springs, starting to feel a bit muzzy.]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[...okay, he was not expecting that answer] You feeling alright?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

[slightly irritated, but on his way to being too drunk to care] Of course.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Nine is feeling a bit tipsy relaxed himself, and places a hand on Omega's shoulder. Which is weird, because it his own shoulder. Or it was, anyway.] You sure? You seem a bit...off.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

[Omega tenses and pulls away, albeit slower than he probably would have normally. Brusqely;]

I am prefectly all right, Doctor.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Alright, no need to get your knickers in a twist. [offers him a bemused smile as he goes for drink number three] Feel like doing an experiment?
