[He hasn't been making the happiest of posts lately, but this time looks even more serious than the last. His eyes are red-rimmed, and Diefenbaker is sitting next to him on his couch, his big head resting on Ray's shoulder. The half-wolf whines softly as Ray tells the Barge:]

I don't know what the fuck's going on here, but Fraser's gone, too. That's three for three. Cabin's gone, guy's gone. Dief's still here. [Sorry, Bill.]

He-- he didn't have a deal or nothin'. Didn't have an inmate. But he-- I'm pretty sure a lot of people really loved him. He's that kind of a guy. Easy to love. So...

[He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, and breathes out slow.]

So I'm gonna be in the lounge tonight. If you wanna talk about... [He trails off and gives Dief a rough pat on the nose.] You get the point.

[Spam]

[He is there, at night, in the lounge. He's sitting in a booth, drinking a beer, Dief curled up over is feet. He feels like he's grieving, but he's also determined: he's going to get a deal, so he can get back with the man he fell in love with. The man who fell in love with him.]

Peter turns up- a little uncomfortable maybe, but it feels like just about the only done thing. Ben would probably want Ray looked after.

'Terrorized mildly,' perhaps not so much, but he generally means it with love.

"Get you another drink?"

He doesn't mind the company. He looks up from where he'd been peeling the label away from the bottle, and then nods. It's a little weird, knowing what Peter used to be to Fraser, knowing that he's gone now. But he'd chosen Ray. He'd been clear, and honest.

"Yeah. Just another beer."

He nods, and heads off to find two bottles.

When he comes back, he slips into the seat opposite.

"I can't help but feel like we're all moderately doomed. How much has the common sense quotient of the boat over all just diminished?"

Can I come to see you?

[Ray isn't looking like he should be alone, and Dief doesn't quite count.]

It'd be great if you came. [Yes, please. And Credence knows about losing people on the Barge.]

Credence appears in the hall a few minutes later, and taps on the door lightly.

"Ray? It's me."

He does know about loss on the Barge. More than he ever wanted to learn.

I loved him.

Deeply.

The poor guy. It hurts. In here.

[He hits his heart]

And...

[his hand starts to drift downwards]

[He narrows his eyes-- and so does the kind of big wolf next to him.]

Funny guy, huh? You lookin' to get kicked in the head?

Why the fuck is everyone so violent here.

Holy crap, Wolfgang, I'm just making conversation. So your boy is missing. I'm sorry. See? I'm sorry.

If you want a shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic handjob, you know who to call.

Marty shows up at the lounge and drops into the seat opposite him.

"I'm sorry, man. Shit sucks, sometimes."

He nods from where he's resting his head in his hands. "Yeah. Understatement."

Geez - Ray.

Shit. I'm sorry.

You need a, uh - designated walk home later tonight or anything?

[He isn't sure how drunk you wan to get.]

...Maybe that ain't the worst idea in the world.

Don't drink or can't get drunk?

Harry goes to look for him a little later. He's carrying a small Riker display case—a peculiar sort of gift, he thinks, but he imagines Ray will appreciate it, knowing Fraser as he does.

He looks up from his table when Harry finds him, looking a little vulnerable. It takes him a beat to figure out what he's carrying, but when he gets it it's hard not to tear up.

"Shit. Doc, he was so-- so proud to know you."

Bucky sees and absorbs the contents of the announcement, but doesn't respond. What else can he say but 'sorry for your loss' and that seems too trite for what Ray and Fraser are to each other. And Ray is a friend.

So he shows up in person, later, choosing something from stock with a decent taste and high proof, and settles into a seat near the other man. "Here. We're gonna kill this bottle."

"Man after my own heart," is all he says, grabbing a shot glass he'd abandoned earlier.

[Nick hauls his ass to the pub. He doesn't really do the emotional sharing thing--not well anyway-- but if you want to drown your sorrows, he's totally here for you.

He swings by the bar to grab a bottle of scotch (seriously--are we going to pretend we're only having a drink or two?) and then heads for the booth. He slams the bottle on the table and plops his ass in the seat across from Ray.]

So what the hell happened?

He's really, really grateful to see Nick here. Because he gets along with him, and likes him, and kind of wants to help him very badly-- but it's good to see it might go both ways. He takes a look at the scotch, then nods. Yeah. He can do that.

At the question, he shakes his head. "He just... wasn't there in the morning."

Hunh. Got a lot of people leaving, lately.

[And while Fraser might not have had a permanent inmate, Xigbar hadn't missed the announcement that the two of them had been meant to be paired for the month.]

Edited 2019-10-08 21:48 (UTC)

Yeah. Pretty weird, right? [Most of all, it just sucks.]

Hey-- shit, was he your temp?

He thinks about that quietly. "I'm not sure? It could be different. Hell, it might be different for everyone, regardless of status." He isn't quite sure how it works, to be honest, but if there's a chance that Fraser might not remember. Well, there's also a chance that he could remember.
