[ The bar is a busy, noisy place full of people interested in poking newcomers with sticks and one-upping each other. And Jim's just fine with that. He invests hours into accepting dares and dealing them out, charming refugees from generations before his own and asking questions, getting into at least one almost-fight that ends in loud laughter and winning an arm wrestling challenge.
It's an aspect of himself that doesn't get out much anymore. It's made appearances in Wyver, being used when it suited him, but the stakes were different. Not higher or lower, just different. Here, Jim can press openly and not worry about the Natha's strange version of the Prime Directive. He leans hard into the hustler that existed before Starfleet, and makes out pretty well for it.
He's wearing an impressively nice jacket he won off somebody when he practically swans out the door to end his evening, and ducks a glass thrown at his head. ] Nice meeting you! [ he calls back at the woman with the excellent aim; she shouts her address at him.
Jim turns on his heel, making sure not to run into anyone - he's not drunk, but he's near enough to buzzed to be getting on with. ] Oh. Hey. Nice eyeball, I remember it from out in the snow.
