No news is being good news and this news is being bad news
Red was, in general, a very happy sentient. He had a job he enjoyed, he got to shoot people with very large guns. Min-Dee in R&D gave him tummy rubs and experimental weapons that were probably illegal in some sectors of the universe. He had good friends, he liked a good drink, and a good fight. He got all of those.

Which made it more curious as to why he was in one of the Station's bars, trying very hard to get very drunk, as very quickly as he could.

It probably had something to do with the datapad on the table, full of mail from home.

	Jean-Louise was in the bar doing business when she noticed Red's unusual demeanor. "You okay?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Red took another long swallow of his drink before he answered. "Oh, sure," he said. "Am being fine. This is being how I am always acting when my mother is writing me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza is on her way in. She sees Jean-Louise with Red and wonders what is up. She does catch what Red is saying near the end. "Is she okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, she is being fine," Red said. "She is being big important doctor. And my father is winning teacher of the year award. And my brother Jed is getting promotion to lieutenant. And my brother Ed is getting his degree in robotics. And my brother Fred is getting married. And my brother Ned and his wife are having a baby. And my sister Roxanne is having an art gallery showing. And my brother Ted is winning the school spelling bee."

He took another drink.

	"Oh sure," Red said. "But you try telling her that, and she is being all, "That is being nice, honey, but were you hearing what your brother is doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Or are you the middle child?" She could see how that could be a problem too. She really wished Red's Mother could see how awesome he is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is being both," Red said. "Jed, Ed, and Fred are being older, everyone else is being younger." He took another drink. "Am helping to save the universe! Many times! But am guessing that is just not being good enough!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
