Doesn't like dice games with sharpies and frauds

((Occurs sometime the week after Bad Fanon Day and the subsequent fallout. Closed to Una and Starbuck.))

Despite occasional temptations to do so, Una had still not cracked open the bottle of moonshine that John Crichton had sent to her back when she'd first arrived.

Given events of the last several days, the temptation was now overwhelming.

She hated drinking alone, though, and being in one of those moods where she wanted to blame the entire male gender for everything that was wrong with the universe, she had absolutely no desire to drink with any of the men or male beings of her acquaintance.

She'd done a fairly crap job of making female friends in this place. She liked Psyche, but there was something eerily not quite right about boozing up with a goddess, especially one who could see through a person with alarming accuracy. Which—

Of course. Starbuck. They'd scarcely seen each other at all since Una had arrived, more was the pity, and that needed to be remedied. And this was as good an excuse as any.

Starbuck,

So I'm not at all sure why I haven't written or visited sooner, as I did enjoy talking to you when I arrived here. Can I make that up to you by offering a drink? I'm afraid it's only the local moonshine, but it's better than nothing. Your place or mine?

Adam had never told Starbuck not to tell anyone about what he was, and since she didn't really understand exactly what it meant, she didn't know if it was supposed to be some sort of super secret. "Well, I don't know anything about Earth mythology, but he says he's something called the Antichrist. Which I gather not to be too horrible because he says that he didn't do what he was supposed to do. Like he went against the rules of that really important book... the Bible, I think. So he's okay and everything."

Una's mouth fell open a little bit in astonishment.

The first thing she thought of was the Von Bek family, their curious destiny, their motto Do You the Devil's Work, and the family legend that they were custodians of the Holy Grail, having been vouchsafed this task by none other than Lucifer himself.

She wasn't quite she she was up to explaining that and why she felt somehow it might be related, and anyway the Antichrist? Who ... the Antichrist was meant to bring about the end of the world, and so if this Adam went against orders that meant that he—

Una started to laugh.

"Well, if he is the Antichrist, and he did not in fact bring about the Apocalypse, then he probably is all right," she said, amused. "He does seem like a very nice young man, anyway."

All right, this just got funnier the more she thought about it.

"Exactly," Starbuck said, the terms slotting back in for her. "Yeah, he didn't do all that. He's probably a lot more mellow than anyone around here, really."

Starbuck gave a whistle and heard something rustle toward the entrance. "There she is."

Una, still chuckling over the notion of a pretty young blond Antichrist, grinned as she saw the dog come trotting over. "Sorry to disrupt your routine, girl," she said, bending down to offer a conciliatory pat.

Sador licked Una's hand once, then turned what could have very easily been counted as scolding eyes on Starbuck. "I'm sorry," she told the dog, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, you've got nothing to complain about. If John took care of you, he spoiled you rotten. Pretty much everyone else does too."

Una laughed; she had a hunch John Crichton was probably a pushover for a sweet dog. "And how could they not?" she said, ruffling Sador's ears. "Well, shall we? I think one of the restaurants on Main Street has nearly anything a body might want for breakfast."

"Yeah, let's," Starbuck said, heading outside. "I'm all eager to see how you work in a kitchen now." She grinned.

"Oh, I'm very good in the kitchen," Una said with a wink and a Marie Lloyd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Lloyd) laugh. "Off we go, then."

((And scene? Unless there was anything else you wanted to cover? Una can go on forever, but this seemed like a sensible stopping point. ^_^))

((stopping here sounds good. ^_^ we can assume that they had a delicious breakfast, a nice portion of which went to Sador))
