Drunk Nights

Skar slowed opened his eyes and gazed up at the ceiling of a large dimly lit cabin. Growling he put his hand in front of his eyes to shield them from the light as a massive hangover headache started to pound in the back of his head.

Sliding his feet over the side of the comfy bed he gazed down then found himself naked, the daunting realization of what happened last night coming in the form a sigh from behind him.

Fear gripped his heart as he broke out into a cold sweat when he saw the back of the brown and blond covered head of his captain laying naked in bed behind him. After realizing who it was he leaped up from the bed and pressed his back into the cabin wall

“C...C...Captain Arcia!” he half screamed as he gazed down at the sleeping woman who began to stir at the sound of his voice. Realizing what she might do to him Skar grabbed what clothes that were his off the floor and at top speed ran into the turbolift.

Slipping into his uniform and punching the button for deck five he just stood there trying to cope with what just happened. Jumping at the sound of the door sliding open Skar stepped out onto the deck only to realize that he had forgotten one thing his mask but he could get it now it was far too late…. FIN

Ernordeth groggily opens his yellow eyes unable to hold his usual piercing gaze. He gathers his senses and looks around to see empty glasses knocked over with the space silk sheets thrown off the bed.

"Sith spit!" Ernordeth exclaims.

Cethgus must have drugged me...

Meleu blinked several times trying to get used to the light, however he could only manage a squint. He felt soft breathing on the back of his neck. As he turned over to the other side of the bed, he made out the shine of blonde hair and her pearly teeth as the unfamiliar companion in his bed smiled at him. He opened his mouth in order to greet the stranger in his bed, however the dryness in his mouth only allowed a small croak. Only then did he remember the events of the night before and the severe pounding coming from his head. The woman hopped out of the bed and pulled the covers off the bed, exposing Meleu’s bare skin to the cold air.

“Come on, get up lazy bones!” the unknown woman said. Meleu’s eyes were beginning to get used to the morning and obvious lack of sleep he had as he noticed the woman lifting her leg up to slide on her underwear. Meleu’s eyes widened, enjoying the final show that he was getting. It was just as the woman finished changing that Meleu realised that he was in an unfamiliar room. He cleared his throat in order to speak.

“Any chance of some water?” he called out to her, pointing at his head as she turned around to respond.

The woman didn't respond, she simply smiled to the man as she strode out of the room.
