Part 2
Oh! btw- I am understanding very
little of this, least of all what I’m writing. I also generally don't
capitalize anything. I did try and my comp does some of it by himself but I am
trying...just for you people!

"Are the mics working?" Madeline demanded.
The local techie looked at her nervously. "oh yes. They might be old, but
they were made to last through bombings. A little dust won’t hurt them."
"ok. Put them on speaker. I want to hear this."
"yes, ma'am"

"Hi, I’m Birkoff." he smiled shyly.
"Hi Birkoff. I’m sandy and this is Jess." She looked at him and then
around
at the others. "So what are you studying here?"
"Computers" Birkoff immediately answered
Jess grinned "oh really? I am too!"
The two of them separated a little bit and began to talk about the courses
that they would study and little technical things that interested no one
else.
Katoa'a, Gap, Adriana, and Majken all began to place their orders at the
bar.
"Ummmm, I think Id like a strawberry daiquiri" Katoa’a said.
Everyone looked
at her. "What? I’m allowed!"
"Uh-huh, ok."
Everyone else ordered their drinks and they started talking about the
school, where they were living and how to find your way around the city.
Within an hour Katoa'a was completely drunk and was swearing to anyone who
would listen that the bar was moving and maybe there was an earthquake.
Birkoff was dancing with Jess and he was also pretty drunk. The two of them
were talking about their computer skills. Sandy was looking pretty jealous,
but wasn’t saying anything about it.
"Ummmmmm, Gap?" Katoa'a looked at her.
"Uh oh. Ok, I’m taking Kat to the bathroom. Ummm, where is it
Sandy?" Sandy
gestured over to their left. "Ok thanks. We'll be back soon."
Gap steered Katoa'a toward the
bathroom. When they got there, Katoa'a leaned against the
cold tiles and sighed. Gap grinned at her. She was still operating on 2
daiquiris. One thing about Katoa'a was that she could handle alcohol very well,
and when missions had been common things they had always let her play
the drunk. She never seemed to mind.
"You doin ok?" gap asked
"Ugh, yeah. I love daiquiris though!"
"Yeah I know. But no more! We need you to NOT pass out! Ok?"
"Yep. Ill play that I got sick. I don’t want anymore, right"
"Good. You ready?"
"No, give it another minute. I don't like sandy. She seems so, I don’t
know flaky or something."
"Yeah I know. And Jess doesn’t seem like the type to be in section, does
she.
I mean she’s, well, nice. And besides knowing too much about computers she’s
normalish. Sandy is kinda hidden though..."
"Yup." Katoa’a moved over to the sink and splashed some water on her
face.
It smeared some of the very little makeup she had on, but that was ok. She
and gap got ready to leave the bathroom, Gap with an arm around her, when
Sandy walked in the door.
"Ok, now we can really talk. So talk..."

This ends my part. Sorry I know it’s pretty crappy. I didn’t know what to
write. Anyway, Majken I think its yer turn. Good luck!
