Open to everyone:

Hey, so I decided to give this place...the Cat's Eye... a try tonight...

(He frowns slightly at first and it might sound in his voice.)

More like I'm supposed to be meeting this guy here...and either I'm early or he's running late. Or he's some sort of crazy ninja and in that case I totally need to learn these skills...

Ah, yeah, if anyone sees my evil twin running around and he's on his way or something - tell him to hurry it up, alright? (A joke. Just not funny. At all.) I shouldn't be the responsible one here.

(Mark stretches and leans slightly back in his seat, the chair can be heard in the background if one listened closely enough. Obviously he is more than slightly bored at this bored. He's never been much of sitting idle kind of guy - not that he's not willing to do so if something is important enough.)

Anyway, why I'm here isn't important, well to anyone but me and the evil twin....but, anyone want to come hang out tonight...I'm buyin' the drinks this time.

Just don't get used to the idea. I'm not a pushover.


Locked to Jason Bourne:

Hey, man... this is the right place, isn't it? You said at 7? Or did I mess that up. Anyway, if you're here tell me where you're sitting and I'll just switch tables or something.

And, man, if you're here...what kind of ninja training can you give me?

(Mark just thinks he's hilarious and he laughs and grins from behind the audio feed.)

I'd love to have a few drinks though, I ran a bar back home and I miss it but I won't take advantage of your generous offer. I'm not much of a pushover either. [cheeky smile]

(Mark at first tries to jokingly feign disappointment, but he ends up laughing instead.)

Aw, damn...

Well, guess, I can sit here and pretend to be one of the cool Apollo astronauts for a while while I'm waiting. (He grins now.)

So, you ran a bar? You know, I don't think I've ever known anyone who has done that... what's that like? (He pauses.) Unless you don't want to talk about it, that's cool too.

You know, I was saying I'd love to have a drink with you, just that I wouldn't want a potential friendship to start off with mooching. [she smiles kindly.] An apollo Astronaut? Is that your job?

Yes! I absolutely loved it. It's something I'm good at doing and everyone that came in had a different story, so I found the people enjoyable besides the one or two that could be nauseating. [she laughs.] No, it's fine. Bar stuff is hardly personal.

(Mark might be a little embarrassed now for mishearing that.) Ah, right...that's fair enough. Totally fair.

Well, no. I wish. Those guys were cool, though. But that was actually long before my time. I was with Ares 3, which is considered still kinda cool where I'm from. (He grins. He was pretty excited about it when he was first told he was going to be a part of it.) Those guys went to the moon, but I got to go to Mars.

(And well, he ended up stranded there too.)

And well, Mars is kinda cool until it tries to kill ya. Then, well, it's on.

It sounds like it'd be kind of fun sometimes. Minus the nauseating people, I think I got lucky with my job...I liked everyone for the most part. I mean, even the people I didn't like, weren't exactly nauseating. Just bureaucrats - so maybe boring, too dependent on their rules for my liking.

I loved my crewmates, though. All of them are good people. (A pause.) Actually, one of them is here too. He's a cool guy for a Yankees fan. You might run into him. Name's Martinez.
