[b][i]Drinking till sober...[/i][/b]
[u]Just a bar in the dojo.[/u]
[i]Something was wrong with Rook, sitting alone in a bar he drank away. He hadn’t had a drop of alcohol for years, now, he chugged away. Empty glasses lay in front of him, but more beer just kept being served. [/i]
“Don’t worry, bartender, I’ll, I’ll be, fine, maybe.”
[i]Obviously drunk, Rook would try to make conversation with anyone else, but they would simply walk away in disgust.[/i]
[spoiler]open, low-effort post but I’m bored so -blam!- it, we’ll do it live![/spoiler]

"Alright just tell when."says Xexa [i]Xexa heads over to the cockpit finding the button but doesn't push it.[/i]
-
“Wait for it. Now! Press it now!” [i]Rook yells frantically.[/i]
-
[i]Xexa pushes the button waiting to see what happen. her main thoughts were did it work.[/i]
-
[i]The ship turns completely dark. The only light is the one coming from the screen near Rook. Small lights on the ground appear to help navigate through the ship.[/i]
-
"Was that supposed to happen,''says Xexa [i]she looks around at the sudden darkness.[/i]
-
“Yeah, emergency shutdown. However I’ve switched it to direct power to the helmet, helping Ion. Now, we, just have to wait.” [i]Rook says nervously.[/i]
-
"Ok then."says Xexa [i]nara said nothing just waiting to see if ion still there or not.[/i]
-
“Please, Ion.” [i]Rook says, his entire body shaking with anxiousness. Then, a small beep is heard. Rook smiles, finally.[/i] [i]”Reboot complete, beginning restart.”[/i] “Thank god.”
-
"Well that's great news." Says Xexa [i]Xexa sound relieved to hear that ion was going to be okay. [/i]
-
“You don’t even know how thankful I am right now. I honestly thought that was it for Ion. But, I guess you really never know what will happen.” [i]Rook says, still waiting for Ion to talk again.[/i]
-
"Yeah but at least he is back now."says Xexa [i]she was glad that she was able to help. This went better than i have would thought thinks nara to herself.[/i]

Mark-54 entered the bar, looking to Rook with his mechanical eyes. His green face plating seemed to shine out compared to his grey armor. He sat next to Rook at the bar. "Something's bothering you, bud."
-
"What? Me? You, talking to me?" [i]Rook, obviously confused, asked Mark.[/i] "I mean, something bothering you, it looks like you got some, shit on your face. You ill? It's all like, green and shit."
-
"I'm a robot," Mark replied, "But no one drinks that much without having some sort of problem."
-
"Oh, robot, oh, I thought you were like, having some kind of plague, or needed to vomit." [i]Rook chugged the last half of his current drink, and motioned for another.[/i] "Now, you may think I have a problem, but, I don't." [i]Rook says before finally admitting it.[/i] "Ok, fine, I do have a problem. I made this shitty deal with this devil-god shit head. My AI, the only thing I can ever have a conversation with is corrupted. I had a chance to make my life better and I -blam!- it all up." [i]Rook says in anger as he finally gets another beer, which he takes a large gulp of.[/i]
-
"Your AI?" Mark asked. The Exo seemed unfamiliar with the term.
-
“AI, artificial intelligence, I’ll spell it for you, a-r-t-i-f, ah screw it.” [i]Rook replies.[/i]
-
"I know what it means. I'm not used to people having one. Can you let me meet it? Or has it been deleted?"
-
“Yeah, I was I could show you it. I wish I could have it, but, something happened. Some jackass decided to -blam!- it up, and now it’s corrupted. And I cat just make another one like it, I can’t just let him go. I can fix it, but it’s just, I don’t know what to do. And I’ve got all these other problems and I can’t handle this for much longer.” [i]Rook replied.[/i]
-
"Calm dowm, buddy," Mark said, patting his back, "Take it one problem at a time."
-
"Well maybe if problems would happen one at a time. But no, it never wants to work that -blam!-ing way. I made that stupid deal, then Ion broke, and all the other shit happened." [i]Rook says drinking some more.[/i]

-
"Yeah, I don't think a hangover is going to be the worst of my problems. You got any other suggestions?"
-
"I know it wouldn't be, but I will admit, leaning over a toliet all morning leads to a bad day. And while, I am technicalky a robot, hangovers affect me. Just not the way it would affect you."
-
“Yeah, I think vomiting all over the toilet it the best option. And I’m sure it’s better, than all the bullshit that I’ve had to put up with, and no one to help.”
