</a>Onboard Annie<br/>Midwatch<br/>Tagged: Jin-Lai, Elaine, Mateo<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><br/>Serena leaned back and placed both hands over her heart with a flourish. “Oh my goodness!” she cried, “You’ve got to slow down there babe, a girl can only take so much!” she said, and then giggled. “You could have won our devotion by promising that whatever you served would taste a little bit like food. You sound like you want to turn our little galley into a three-star kitchen. Not that I’m complaining, mind you.” She continued. “You just let me know if you need anything. The way to my heart passes directly through my stomach in case you were wondering.”<br/><br/>Serena leaned back as the Shuttle took off and braced herself to pierce atmo. She ran through her plan in her mind as she held on tight for the shaking parts, wanting to make the most of her time on the surface.<br/><br/><b><u>Serena’s Guide to Shore Leave</u></b><br/><br/><i>Step 1 – Don’t make a fuss at customs</i><br/><br/>Serena had literally nothing but her id, some cash, and the clothes on her back. Her tools and equipment were all left on the shuttle. This made getting through port control quick and easy, even if they searched her. Sadly there was nobody at the port cute enough for her to volunteer to be strip searched by, but there is always the trip back.<br/><br/><i>Step 2 – Locate the local Big Box Store</i><br/><br/>Even a hick planet like Dixon's Reach had a local Buy & Go franchise (Over 40,000 locations and counting. It’s a galaxy of savings!) in its port town. Serena headed straight there for the essentials.<br/><br/><i>Step 3 – Get the essentials</i><br/><br/>Some new clothes off the rack, a cheap makeup kit, a travel set of toiletries, and a trip to the bathroom on the way out to put it all on and Serena was a new woman. Mostly clean and out of her work clothes she looked like a normal person and was now going to be treated like one. And all of it was cheap enough that she didn’t mind leaving it planetside when the time came.<br/><br/><i>Step 4 – Some real goddamn food</i><br/><br/>A nice big meal was essential. Jin-Lai was going to improve things in the future, but at the moment she’d only served up some promises and a mild crush. So it was off to wherever seemed best from the ads plastered all over the Buy & Go for a large hot meal. Get desert and skip the doggie bag, you don’t want to be carrying that crap around for two days.<br/><br/><i>Step 5 – Booze</i><br/>Somewhere in this godforsaken hole is a decent bar. Find it, have a drink. Have two. Get nice and relaxed for the next part.<br/><br/><i>Step 6 – Drugs</i><br/><br/>Serena really doesn’t understand law enforcement. She had never had any trouble finding a drug dealer and gaining their trust. This, of course, is one of the parts where having the cheap clothes is essential as she might have to soil them a little to get what she wants.<br/><br/><i>Step 7 – Find a Party</i><br/><br/>Only losers and addicts get high by themselves. This is especially true when taking the kind of euphoria inducing drugs that Serena enjoys. Thankfully drug dealers are always happy to provide a pretty girl in a short skirt with somewhere to enjoy herself.<br/><br/><i>Step 8 – Double check</i><br/><br/>Is this party lame? Are there any girls there? Where is it? Make sure that this is a place you don’t mind passing out in. If it fails? Go back to step 7. Pass? Proceed onward!<br/><br/><i>Step 9 – Lets get lit bitches!</i><br/><br/>I’ll meet you on the Annie when it’s time to go home.
