A drinking question

[icepixie]

I don't drink, and consequently know nothing about alcohol. Thus, I put this to those who do: Fraser, Thatcher, and either RayV or RayK (I haven't decided yet) walk into a bar. What do they order? Water for Fraser, I know, but what about the other two?

(This has nothing to do with taking advantage of the fact that dS and Cupid are both set in Chicago during roughly the same span of years. Nothing at all. *whistles innocently*)*

Still working on the Yukon one, BTW. After 4,500 words, Fraser and Thatcher are finally setting off on the dogsledding trip that's the whole point of the fic. Er. They kept wanting to talk, and then there were of course awkward silences and half-finished sentences, and a dead body plays a rather large part in the whole thing, so that had to be dealt with...

I'm really not making anyone want to read this fic, am I?


* And yes, I realize that in all likelihood I'm the only person on the whole internet who would want to read such a thing, but writing for one's own pleasure is a worthy purpose, right? Right.

Wasn't Fraser drinking coffee (or something out of a coffee mug, at least) in the bar after his dad's funeral?

I remember the coffee mug. I think it was probably herbal tea. It's either canon or extremely pervasive fanon that he really likes herbal tea, and isn't terribly fond of coffee.

...Except for when he's asking certain Inspectors out on dates, and then apparently he can stomach it rather well. ;)

I guess it depends on what sort of bar you've got him in...

Well, it's Taggarty's, of course. He might go for tea or coffee; I think they were supposed to serve lunch and dinner-type stuff as well as drinks. But it might be easier just to have him ask for a bottle of water.

What's not to love about awkward dead bodies?

The smell? Although this dead body has been sitting out in the giant freezer that is the Northwestern Territories in March for a while, so I guess he doesn't stink much.

But it provides the gimmick to get them out in dogsleds, and that's never a bad thing. ;)

Hrm... I vaguely remember herbal tea, and I haven't read any fanon.

And now I'm picturing a verrrry caffeinated Fraser, so perhaps coffee is a bad idea? Or an awesome one?

WHY DID THEY NOT SHOW THAT ONSCREEN OH THE CRUELTY!!

But it might be easier just to have him ask for a bottle of water.

Yeah, probably. I could almost see him getting a beer, if he were off-duty, but there's probably some code against drinking in uniform, anyway...

Gimmicks make the world go round.

There you go, then.

I'm leaning towards "awesome," myself.

*wails and gnashes teeth*

Probably so. Besides, if he orders water, I can have Trevor make fun of him.

They do indeed.

DO IT.

Probably so. Besides, if he orders water, I can have Trevor make fun of him.

Always a positive outcome!

Finiiiiiiish iiiiiiiiiiit......

[icepixie]

DO IT.

I TOTALLY WILL. (I think I need to start doing drabbles again. I have entirely too many fics with plot happening right now.)

Always a positive outcome!

Absolutely!

Finiiiiiiish iiiiiiiiiiit......

As soon as I finish the dogsledding ooooone... (5,000 words later, they're finally starting out towards the burial spot!)

MUSH.

Un-mush! Un-mush!

I miss RayV.

[icepixie]

*mushes*

You and your RayV fetish...

Season 4 just isn't doing much for me so far. : ... (

I kinda fell asleep in the middle of 'Easy Money'...

[icepixie]

S4 is for sure not the high point.

"Easy Money" is definitely not one of the better ones.

[rowdycamels.livejournal.com]

Wait, what were you saying?

I'm too busy tee-hee-ing at your icon...

[icepixie]

Heh heh. SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE.

Did you at least like "Doctor Longball"?

[rowdycamels.livejournal.com]

Eh, the dopplegangers were amusing, but the baseball thing (especially RayK's random plotline) was kinda tiresome. That, and the city!mouse/country!mouse stuff grated. It just felt like a whole lotta stupid without the usual dS stupid-in-a-fun-way-ness. : (

In the meantime, YES CUTE.

[icepixie]

Awww. I was having huge flashbacks to XF's "The Unnatural," which is one of my Very Most Favorite Episodes of that show, so perhaps that influenced my thoughts on it. (I thought this seemed so very much like an XF episode in just about every way.)

Loved the doppelgangers. Especially Thatcher, and especially her in the locker room with Ray.

In the meantime, YES CUTE.

*squees* Making that icon seems to have gotten me over a block in my dogsledding story. Now they're sharing a tent. Awkwardly.

Yeah, me too, except.... the XF version was so incredibly much better? And I kept thinking about how I'd rather be watching the XF... But wasn't that a great XF ep? With the cheesy, cheesy ending? And the Violating Personal Space In The Name Of Official Crucial Baseball-Educating Disinterested-ness Yes Very Really? Awesome.

Now they're sharing a tent. Awkwardly.

::facepalm::

[icepixie]

Well, yes, the XF version was much better. And the made-of-gouda ending was the best part.

And the Violating Personal Space In The Name Of Official Crucial Baseball-Educating Disinterested-ness Yes Very Really? Awesome.

"Hips before hands...yes, your hips should be moving right up against mine in exactly that way. Just like that."

::facepalm::

Mmm, awkwardness. It's getting long enough that I've broken it up into three chapters/parts/divisions. Oof.

fiiiiiiniiish iiiiiiit.....

Cough. Cough.

fiiiiiiniiish iiiiiiit.....

I'm tryiiiiing... I checked out a bunch of awesome books from the library last weekend, so that's been distracting me. But I'm trying to do at least 400 words a day, and I'm mostly succeeding...
