The Boat

[sparednothing]

[And there, sitting on the docks, is a cruise ship. It seems a man from InGen is waiting by the hull to greet them, a wide smile on his face]

Please accept InGen's humblest apologies for this little...mix up. We are offering you a week stay in a luxury hotel in the beautiful city of San Diego. We should arrive here this evening.

[He bustles them along inside, where all those folks who didn't get to spend a hellish four days on a dinosaur infested island are waiting for them]

[Lara noticed and nodded at James, acknowledging his presence]

Are you okay?

[last_rat_standing]

[Honestly? He looks like shit. He's been in a tussle with a pachycephalosaurus and has a few new yet undetermined wounds as a result. He shrugs, seemingly unbothered by his injuries]

I could use a drink.

[And yes. that is a valid answer.]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara chuckled and shook her head in amusement]

I wouldn't mind that myself. Since we're in a cruise ship, there should be a bar in here somewhere.

[not_nikkiheat]

[Kate walks up at just the right time, dirty and limping slightly, but overall okay.]

Bar? Someone said bar?

[lara_the_explorer]

Uh-huh. Want to tag along?

[not_nikkiheat]

Uh...

[She glances to where James is standing, then back to Lara.]

Will I be...interrupting anything?

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara shrugged] No. I don't think so.

[not_nikkiheat]

You don't think so?

[Kate grins.]

So you and James aren't going to...

[She makes a vague gesture with her hands between Lara and James.]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara smiled a bit and shook her head] No. No.

[not_nikkiheat]

[Kate holds up her hands in concession.]

Hey, I wouldn't blame you. I just didn't want to intrude on any plans for the evening.

[lara_the_explorer]

No. It's just a drink. Why, are you two...?

[not_nikkiheat]

No. No. I have a boyfriend now.

[Kate shakes her head.]

And James doesn't strike me as a relationship kind of guy. Great sex, sure. Relationship, not so much.

[lara_the_explorer]

Oh...

[Good to know?]

[not_nikkiheat]

So if celebratory 'thank god we're alive' sex is what you're after, he's a great choice. If that's your preference. That's another thing I don't judge on.

[Seriously, Kate. Shut up.]

Kate stahp

[lara_the_explorer]

I-It's okay. I'm not looking for anything like that right now... [Lara lets out an embarrassed chuckle]

but it's so much fun

[not_nikkiheat]

[Kate grins.]

Okay, I won't pry anymore. And I will tag along for drinks. We all need at least three.

[Then, because she can't resist...]

Maybe we should have some kind of signal? In case you want me to leave you two alone?

Dx

[lara_the_explorer]

No. No. I'm sure I'm not going to be sleeping with anyone anytime soon. [An embarrassed smile]

[not_nikkiheat]

Okay, okay, I'll leave you alone. For now.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara laughed] Okay. Come on, let's go get some Cosmos.

[last_rat_standing]

[He smirks, tilting his head back towards the rest of the ship]

Why don't we go find it, then?

[lara_the_explorer]

Yes. Lead the way.

[last_rat_standing]

[He nods, smiling slightly as he gestures for her to accompany him. He walks deeper into the ship, searching for the first bar they might find. He's filthy and wounded but he doesn't give a shit. All he wants is a bloody drink.]
