When the droid rebooted, she watched the progress on her datapad. Nevertheless, when he jumped up, Cerise nearly leapt out of her skin, plopping backwards onto the floor from her crouched position. As the room spun around her, she decided she should probably just lay there a while.
The droid thanked her, and she held up her hand giving him a bloody thumbs-up, mumbling something unintelligible. Then a man came by and said something about an alibi. "Alibi? I'm not even sleepy," she muttered, snickering drunkenly to herself.
Another man came to her and said something about having a look at her. At first, she figured it was a sexual jab, but then he bent over her and started poking and prodding her face. She realized he must be a doctor, and she quit squirming. Even lying on the floor, she still felt like she was swaying with the room, but the doc seemed to have perfect balance. Turning her head to look at him, she nearly squeaked-- he was handsome, and he was good at what he did.
Then he started cleaning her hand. The warning was appreciated, but it didn't stop the groaning and grumbling as he cleaned the wound. When the needle came out, she went wide-eyed and completely silent, looking away from him and trying not to move a muscle (but still swaying, of course). Once the stitches were complete, she looked at her hand with a disconnected fascination, and peered in amazement back to the man. "Catgut," she said to him, pointing to the thread in her hand, as if only to prove to him that she knew what it was called. "Do they even have cats on this planet?"
He gave her a wink and she blushed a booze-soaked red, looking away bashfully. Usually a drunken Cerise would make an even more shameful innuendo regarding lollipops than a sober Cerise, but she was in fact so drunk that all she could do was giggle like a little girl and do her best to flirt back with limited use of her brain.
The doc began to walk away, and Cerise gasped, scrambling haphazardly to her feet to follow. Right as she was about to say something to him, she heard booze being poured, and she snapped her attention to the table where those other guys that were in the fight had taken a seat. Dragging herself to them, she gave them a stupid smile and a tip of her lopsided hat, slumping into a chair and reaching for one of the glasses. "A lady nefer turns down free boose," she slurred, "but I may already be jus' a li'l drunk. My head an' my knuckles hurt-- does anyone else's heads and knuckles hurts?"
