Poosh looked at the drink in his hand. A puzzled expression crossed his features. He took a sip and then held i up to the light. “It’s uh…hmm..” He swirled it around a bit. “It’s…” He looked back up to the imposing dentist and his imposing teeth and empty sockets. “It’s blue.” Poosh smiled and jabbed the straw back into his mouth and took another sip. He smiled a toothy grin and began to follow Haven to the buffet tables.

Joe tilted his skull and watched the man walk off to the food, IT IS BLUE… he repeated to himself. He caught a passing person with a drinks tray EXCUSE ME, BUT I WISH TO HAVE A BLUE BEVERAGE LIKE THE INE HE HAS PLEASE.

The young woman in wait staff uniform seemed confused a moment but then looked over at Poosh. Wether it was because she was a hologram or not she didn’t seem to think this request odd. Simply nodded her head. “ Certainly sir.”

OH AND CAN IT ALSO HAVE AN UMBRELLA AND A CHERRY, I LIKE CHERRIES. he added and sat waiting for both his drink and his new seating companions to return, tapping his fingers together in the same sort of way an excited child does.

Poosh came wandering back with a plate piled high with different little foods, hors d’oeuvres from several different worlds. He didn’t seem to go for the larger, meal-style dishes, but rather small individual tastes. He’d probably love tapas if he knew what it was. He sat down across from Dr. Black and set his plate down with a clink. A small meatball-looking mouthful rolled down the plate and bounced off of the rim. With deft quickness he caught the errant treat in his drink before it could bounce onto the ground. With an apologetic look he reached into his glass, his metallic fingers clinking against the sides, snatched up the meatball and popped it into his mouth. He leaned forward and whispered conspiratorially, “Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen.” He winked and began choosing another tidbit. “If you don’t mind the impertinence, may I ask, is your species exoskeletal?”

Joe had received his drink and was sipping it. A long straw had gone to his mouth and the the drink seemed to be Getting lower in volume but how exactly it was happening was a question for the physicists or perhaps the philosophers.

He watched Poosh a moment and looked down at his own drink where three cherries were skewered. He picked one up, his lower jaw opening, no insides, tongue or any indication he could eat and putting it in he chewed and the cherry was gone.

MMMMM the dentist said appreciatively. Apparently he really did like cherries.

To the ACMO he appeared to look quizzical. UHH…YES. YES INDEED. he said enthusiastically as though he didn’t get asked questions much.
