Posted by Lieutenant Daphne Frankenstein (Chief Medical Officer) in Lounge - Come for the drinks stay for the stories
Daphne stretched out in the booth waiting for the other crew to arrive. It had been a long day and she was debating which job was harder. Training first-year medical students or supervising students in their residency. In a way, it was like teaching someone to drive. You knew they had the skills but it required the resolve not to yank the wheel and scream get out when you saw them doing something wrong. Looking at the door, Daphne took a sip of her highly colorful drink and relaxed.

Daphne Frankenstein.

Grayson was the first to walk through that door, pausing slightly to glance around the lounge and see who was present. His eyes fell on Daphne and he smiled lightly, nodded and then turned for the bar.

It only took a minute or two before he turned, tray in hands and made his way towards the booth where Daphne sat. “Evening!” He greeted her lightly, then without asking if she was waiting for anyone or if he could join her, simply sat down and slid the tray between them on the table. On it, was a glass filled with what looked to by whiskey, and two bowls. One was filled to overflowing with fries and the other, thick and crispy onion rings. There were a few smaller bowls of different sauces next to these.

“So how was your day? Anything exciting happen? Anyone lose a limb? Gain a limb? Did you create life?” The smirk on his face as he asked was barely concealed, but it was there long enough for him to hide it by shoving a whole onion ring into his mouth.
