[8:35][DOIC]Sereya Eren@liorexu:** Royalty-free holiday music plays as winter leave resumes once again. *
[8:35][DOIC]Sereya Eren@liorexu:** Go! *
[8:38][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li stirs on Christmas morning, hearing some strange noises outside the bedroom.
[8:39][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*From outside the bedroom door, Jill's voice could be heard shouting,* "WHAT THE FUCK?!
[8:39][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Jill...honey...not so loud...he'll hear that. *Li says groggily as he gets up and heads into the main room.
[8:41][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stands on the upper deck of the promenade, leaning on the raiing overlooking the Christmas tree in the center of the space.-
[8:43][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Li stepped out to see that their main room had been turned into a veritable stable, with a baby panda sleeping next to an Acriman tiger cub and a Kzari warhorse foal. Hundreds of boxes were..
[8:43][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:stacked all around the room.
[8:43][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "What the fuck did you do?!" *She looked at Li.
[8:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li stops at the entrance, his face going white as his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. He starts stammering.* I-I...I didn't...I did not..
[8:44][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri was filing the mountains of paperwork the doctors and certain adopters had just ammassd.
[8:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Am I dreaming? Is this a dream
[8:45][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She smacked Li on the arm.
[8:45][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Ow. Not a dream
[8:45][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "If you didn't put them here, who did?
[8:45][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*A realization comes over Li's face.* 'Santa'..
[8:45][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*They could hear Adrian's little voice from the nursery.* "Santa!!!
[8:46][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Get... we have to get this out of here before he sees it!
[8:47][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods, fumbling around for his combadge.* We...we can do this...we have an animal shelter here..
[8:48][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "I'll go distract him, you get this all cleared out! And whoever thinks they're being funny is going to get in a lot of trouble!!" *She hurried into the nursery.
[8:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I...don't think they were being funny
[8:49][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Lieutenant Zorin to the Citadel Animal Shelter...please come i
[8:49][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*A flock of young Scyrthi fluttered past T'Pang, chirping happily.
[8:50][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Looks around for any other volunteer who can take the call.
[8:50][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The volunteers seemed to have their hands full with a new litter of Beryxian ferrets.
[8:50][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--watched the young Scyrthi flutter past, a small smile flashed across her face before she went back to her impassive observation.-
[8:51][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Ohno... what now?" =^= "Yes? Citadel Animal shelter?" *She almost dropped a databank, catching it last moment.
[8:52][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Um...I have a...big problem in my quarters. There is...uhhh...panda? I think, from Earth, and a...some sort of alien tiger, and uhhh...a horse in my quarters
[8:52][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Kzari foal started to stir, then got up and started trying to eat Li's couch.
[8:53][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "Um... yes? You adopted them? That is where they should be?
[8:53][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= I didn't sign any paperwork for this
[8:53][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The foal tore a bit chunk of fabric off and munched happily.
[8:54][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The panda soon awoke as well and began climbing the christmas tree.
[8:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*drinks a chocalate
[8:55][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "I will check... but I think I filed some legitimate paperwork about a panda just a few minutes back... and those don't come every day." *She looks around to check the paperworks for pandas
[8:55][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*"Alien tigers" and horsies.
[8:55][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Uhhh...any paperwork you received from us was forged, I'm afraid to say
[8:55][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Alex stood at the bar quietly drinking a glass of irish whiskey as he is working on his padd
[8:55][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= We are in way equipped to care for any of these animals, especially with our son living here
[8:55][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Please, hold!"*Putting Li on hold with this music.* https://youtu.be/Sv8LHpezbL
[8:56][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*n
[8:56][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sighs.
[8:56][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The panda got to the top of the tree and it soon tipped over with a mighty CRASH.
[8:56][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She starts looking over the paperwork, looking in the "New home" and "New friends" sections of the contracts with the shelter.
[8:57][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "The papers are signed by Chris Mass... it's all legitimate?
[8:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Chriss Mass is not authorized to act on behalf of myself or Miss Zorin
[8:58][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Acriman tiger cub was startled awake by the crash, and tried to climb up Li's leg.
[8:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li reaches out to pet the little tiger, sweating quite a bit.
[8:59][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "But if he did come here, it means you asked for these animals in your christmas wishes?
[8:59][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The cub rubbed its face possessively against Li's hand.
[8:59][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= My son did...which is why I got him a bunch of stuffed animals and was going to take him to the shelter to pick out /one/ to potentially adopt
[9:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri enter the lounge with a rather Victorian looking baby doll in her arms.-
[9:00][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*calmly sipped his drink as he noticed the doll* That thing ain't gonna haunt the lounge now right
[9:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she set the doll on the bar, it slumps down in a rather lifeless manner-
[9:01][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "But... the animals are going to be sad?" *She sounds sad too.
[9:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--at Alex's voice the doll pans its head toward him and speaks, "Hello will you be my friend?
[9:01][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Ma'am...what is your name
[9:02][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "I'm Veeri... I'm talking with the head of the Citadel about your issue right now.
[9:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--it stares at Alex with its souless eyes waiting possibly waiting for a response.-
[9:02][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Veeri...have you ever been married
[9:02][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "Nope.
[9:02][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Well let me tell you...if I don't find a good place for these animals...they will be very sad after they witness my wife kill me
[9:02][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*stared silently at the doll before drinking his whisky as he shakes his head thinking it to be his imagination
[9:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i got it from Chris Mass!
[9:03][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin approached the bar, eyeing the creepy doll before ordering himself egg nog
[9:03][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "Uhrm... Okey... I guess that does make perfect sense? I will be right over with one other volunteer.
[9:03][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:From Chris Mass? You don't mean santa
[9:04][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Thank you very much Veeri. It would make it a Merry Christmas for my family if we could find a good place for them
[9:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the bartender slides a Jumja cola in front of Ezri-- "No the tag said Chris Mass..
[9:04][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out... on our way.
[9:04][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*From the other room, Li could hear a shriek of,* "KITTYY!!
[9:05][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri took a young skara volunteer with her, hoping the big snake person can maybe carry a panda.
[9:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it talks and everything...
[9:05][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Acriman tiger cub looked up at Li with big, soulful eyes.
[9:05][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Right.... *eyed the doll again
[9:05][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You asked for a talking doll
[9:05][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Walks into the lounge, nodding to those around.* "'Ello zere.
[9:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sometimes when you are not watching her she also gets up and runs across the room.
[9:06][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles down at it, petting the cub.* I know this wasn't your fault
[9:06][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Mon dieu, zat is disturbing.' *She says, first noticing the doll.
[9:06][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Meanwhile, the Kzari foal had eaten most of the armrest and right cushion off of his couch.
[9:06][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:You're fucking with me right
[9:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri waves at Val, the doll also gives Val a little wave.-
[9:06][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[VAlerie] *Waves at them both.* "Merry Christmas, Ezri.
[9:06][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Cub] *He rubbed his face against Li's hand, purring loudly.
[9:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Alex confused.-- "i don't think so...
[9:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Merry Christmas!
[9:07][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "So... ehrm... Who is your friend?
[9:08][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Knocks on the door.
[9:08][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*looks at Hank* I'll have another glass. You know what leave the bottle with me.... *looks at the doll again
[9:08][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"her name is Tiffany..
[9:08][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Enter
[9:08][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:She named it.. tiffany? *to the other sane people
[9:08][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll looks at Val-- "Hello, my name is Tiffany. Will you be my friend?
[9:09][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*shrugged at istrin
[9:09][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Why, 'ello Tiffany... Very well, I suppose? Let me guess, do you like tea parties?
[9:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll stares back at Val-- "oh I love tea parties. Will you come to my tea party.
[9:10][DOIC4]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri walks in with her backup, then looks at the stable set up in Li's room.* "Euhrm... are you sure this was a mistake? You made good conditions here and everything?
[9:10][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I didn't do any of this
[9:10][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We woke up to this
[9:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Istrin-- "i didn't name her the adoption certificate that came with her said her name was Tiffany.
[9:10][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:You're so never coming back from that tea party.... *said lowly as he receives his glass and booze
[9:11][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded along with Alex* The search party would take weeks I feel..
[9:11][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It was obviously very intentional and thought out by the person who did this, but they didn't consult anyone here
[9:11][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Cub] "Meeeeeeh!" *It chirped at Veeri.
[9:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll turns and looks at Alex and Istrin, its eyes narrow a bit.-
[9:11][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Um... ok? Awwwwww!!!" *She goes to pet the cub's head.* "Hello!
[9:12][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*stared at his glass
[9:12][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Why, would you allow me to bring a guest to ze tea party?
[9:12][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Other than...knocking down the tree and...well, the couch they have been very nice
[9:13][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll looks at Val and its expression brightens-- "oh yes, the more the merrier. We have plenty of tea.
[9:13][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Cub] *It rubbed on Veeri's hand and purred loudly.
[9:13][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:But we're just not ready to take care of three different animals along with Adrian. I'd also like for Adrian to be able to pick out an animal from the shelter that he connects with if we get one
[9:13][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I think that 'Santa' was just overeager to provide Adrian with what he wished for
[9:14][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"They all look like very behaved little friends." *She picked up the cub and hugged it to her chest.* "I understand... I see the horsey too... where's the panda?
[9:14][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The panda was nowhere to be seen.
[9:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:What...uhhh...he knocked down the tree
[9:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li motions to the tree.
[9:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I'm not sure
[9:14][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Lovely. What say you tonight, after dinner time?
[9:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"That would be lovely, will you bring Cynna?" --the doll responsde.-
[9:16][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked over his shoulder, hoping to spot the hidden cameras capturing this experience
[9:16][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*hearing Cynna's name he would chug his drink back
[9:16][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] "Euhrm..." *She hands over the cub to the other volunteer, who was already tying a little velvet bow to the horsey's neck to lead over.
[9:16][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] "Are you really sure?
[9:16][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh non, she does 'ave a lot of work to do tonight, she is an acting ensign, after all.
[9:16][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:What do you mean
[9:16][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The foal started to eat the bow.
[9:17][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Pandas... aren't very fast? It can't really have simply disappeared from the room. They are very... clumsy and roll around a lot?
[9:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll's expression looks sad-- "that makes me sad to hear..
[9:17][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*glances between Val and the doll
[9:17][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "KITTYYY!" *He shrieked louder from the nursery.
[9:17][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[VAlerie] "Worry not, zere will be ozher chances.
[9:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll seems to cheer up-
[9:18][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Li, are they gone yet?!
[9:18][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "So do tell me, Tifanny, 'ow did you meet Ezri?
[9:19][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Look, I don't know. You may have an escaped panda on your hands
[9:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll turns its head toward Ezri-- "Come on friend Ezri we need to go make some tea and cookies for the tea party.
[9:19][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:The shelter people are helping us out! *Li calls to Jill.
[9:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll looks at Val-- "I was a present from Chis Mass!
[9:19][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "I could give you a lovely recipe for vanilla ones.
[9:19][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Nods.* "Of course. Good old Chris Mass.
[9:19][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "What kind of operation are they running over there if you can just adopt three animals for someone at once?!" *She yelled back.
[9:20][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li winces at that, looking apologetically to Veeri.* She's just really mad. *He says as he lowers his voice.
[9:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll-- "That is okay friend Valerie, we have a special recipe we use.
[9:20][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri pouts, but does not dignify Jill with a response, instead lookign to Li.* "Euhrm... please lock the door after us, we will get these two back to the shelter, and I'll come back to look for 
[9:20][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Your panda?
[9:21][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Fuck me..... *poured his glass as he rubbed his head with the spare hand
[9:21][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:What kind of recipe Tiffany
[9:21][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Zat is very well..." *She texts on her PADD.
[9:21][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*highly curious
[9:21][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That sounds good
[9:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--the doll looks at Ezri and Ezri looks at VAl-- "I should go get ready for the tea party..
[9:23][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri leads the horsey, tiger and volunteer away, pettign the horsey's mane.
[9:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--another txt from Spencer-- "Why are you asking?
[9:23][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sighs in relief, going to put the tree back up.
[9:23][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Cub] *It watched Li with big, sad eyes as it was taken away.
[9:24][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*As Li picked the tree up, he found a round panda cub fast asleep under it.
[9:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--sorry mt, but it can stay.-
[9:24][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Wait...Veeri
[9:24][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Hm?

[9:24][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri turns.* "Yes? Where is the little friend?
[9:25][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Good bye then Ezri.. Nice knowing you.
[9:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri gets up and scoops up her doll and heads out of the lounge.-
[9:25][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li points underneath the tree he is propping up.
[9:25][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Do call me in a few 'ours, Ezri, I shall be waiting.
[9:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri waves good bye to Istrin-- "Nice knowing you too.
[9:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I will call you when everything is ready..
[9:26][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Awww!" *She hands the horsey over to the other volunteer and hugs the sleeping panda bear with both arms.* "Merry Christmas! ANd sorry for the mix-up!
[9:26][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Lovely. Goodbye.
[9:26][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--meanwhile off in another part of the Citadel, Spencer has a bad feeling about all this.-
[9:27][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"what the hell is going on?
[9:27][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Merry Christmas...and thank you, Veeri
[9:27][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Morgan sits up from laying on the couch.-- "what? whatdid I do now?
[9:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I thought we alreayd went through halloween
[9:28][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Of course! Sorry again!
[9:28][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That's okay
[9:28][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She rocks the panda bear in her arms and starts leading the way back to the shelter.
[9:28][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The tiger cub mewed sadly as it was taken away.
[9:28][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks back over to the nursery door as their door closes.* They are gone, Jill
[9:28][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Who knows in the LMC? *sighed as he drinks
[9:28][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Awww... don't worry, baby, we'll find you an even better home.
[9:29][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "I do not zhink it is an outright malicious one.
[9:29][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She opened the door, holding a very excited Adrian in her arms. As he saw there were no kitties in the room, he started to wail.
[9:29][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Spencer goes over and give Morgan a peck on the forehead-- "Nothing just a lot of wierdness going on right now...most of it seems centered around Endels Christmas presents...I am starting to wonder
[9:29][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Oh for goodness sake... it's okay, baby, it's fine." *She started rocking and soothing the crying boy.
[9:29][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:where he is getting them?
[9:30][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:So...how about we take him to the shelter after we're done with presents
[9:30][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Morgan nods-- "I am wondering that myself...I sent a message to Liz...she has not replied..
[9:30][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She eyed Li for a moment.* "Fine... but -one.- And nothing with spikes or that grows to be like three tons.
[9:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Are you sure commander, the vibes I was getting off of that thing.. *shivered
[9:31][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Well I still think we're gonna need a new delta chief after tonight.
[9:31][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Trust me...I wouldn't let him take anything that I'm not ready to care for as he's not anywhere near old enough to
[9:31][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, I am certain. I do believe it to be related to anozher similar anomaly... and zat ozher anomaly could -easily- be 'andled by someone like Ezri wizhout its properties manifesting.
[9:31][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li kisses Jill on the cheek, then goes over to the tree which is now upright. He grabs a present and walks back over to give it to Adrian.
[9:32][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Still, what are all these... boxes?" *She motioned to the walls lined with them.
[9:32][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--blinks-- "isn't that wierd that she has not replied?
[9:32][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I don't know. I guess we'll find out
[9:32][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He sniffled as he took the present, grabbing the bow.
[9:32][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Morgan] "Not really, not knowing what In know about Liz.
[9:33][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Once Adrian unwrapped it, he would find a stuffed fluffy panda.
[9:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:anomaly? Manifesting
[9:33][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He brightened up instantly.* "Kitty!" *He hugged it.
[9:33][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Let's just say she is likily to pop back up any time now with some story of adventures in alternate universese.
[9:33][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, worry not about it.
[9:34][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"That happens to her alot?
[9:34][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Morgan] "Let's just say she is a real wierdness magnet and leave it at that.
[9:34][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li doesn't dare correct him this time. Instead, he looks up at the ceiling.* Eirene
[9:35][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Come on, Adrian, let's see what's in your other presents!" *She started walking over to the tree, pausing as she saw that half the couch was missing.
[9:35][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I know...I'm working on it
[9:35][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Eirene] "Yeeeees, Li?
[9:35][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Can you please replace our couch in this room? It was...damaged
[9:36][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Eirene] "Why certainly, my dear." *The couch vanished, revealing a few of Adrian's toys that had rolled under it. A new one promptly replaced it, looking exactly the same as the first before the.
[9:36][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:damage.
[9:36][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--meanwhile up on the upper deck of the promenade, T'Pang is still crowd watching.-
[9:37][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:So....creepy dolls aside..... Anyone have something to say
[9:37][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thank you very much. *Li heads to the tree and picks up a present, handing it to Jill.
[9:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Did you perhaps gift her Tiffany? *he asked Val
[9:37][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "...You are all acting like zis is your first one?
[9:38][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*starts on the next book
[9:38][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Non, non, I did not, but I do admire ze one who did it. Zey are a perfect matchup.
[9:38][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[JIll] *She chuckled, sitting down on the new couch and setting Adrian down beside her. She took the present, opening it up.
[9:39][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*it was a locket necklace. When she opened it, it displayed a holographic photograph of Li, Jill, and Adrian together.
[9:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Oh deities I do not want to find out that she's gone missing in a few days or so..
[9:39][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She smiled warmly as she opened it, looking at the holographic image.* "Aw, that's adorable, Li... thank you.
[9:40][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.* You're welcome
[9:40][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li hands Adrian another present.
[9:40][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--a slightly intoxicated Romulan enters with a partially drank bottle of brandy and a baby eppoh on a leash.-
[9:41][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "If Tiffany was one of ze "Evil" ones, she would not 'ave found 'er way onto ze station. Eirene would 'ave seen somezhing wrong upon arrival, and even if she did not pick it up, zere is 
[9:41][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"More zan enough people wiz ze required credentials upon ze stations who keep certain... defences in place.
[9:41][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He took it and promptly dropped it.* "Uh oh.
[9:41][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Valerie, you need to watch more of them horror vids
[9:41][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--she sets the bottle on the bar-- "i need a glass bartender..i am tired of drinking from the bottle.
[9:42][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*The box dropped but it didn't sound like anything broke. Li chuckles.* Be careful silly
[9:42][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Holo Hank] *He provided her with a glass with a frosted snowflake pattern.
[9:42][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Watches the romulan amused, before turning to Alex.* "You are simply prejudiced, and zat is because of 'orror movies. Do you know one of my best friends was a blob monster?
[9:43][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "No." *He made grabby hands for the box and Jill helped pick it up for him.
[9:43][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--the Romulan looks around the room-- "Merry Chris mess everyone!
[9:44][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Merry Christmas to you as well.
[9:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rolls his eyes at his favorite word.* You're lucky it is sturdy
[9:44][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--raises her glass to Val-
[9:44][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Merry christmas to you too miss.. *At Nemala
[9:44][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "If it couldn't survive a tumble it certainly wouldn't survive Adrian," *she chuckled and helped the boy open the present.
[9:44][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*drank soem more from his glass
[9:45][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--slides over to Istrin and wraps her arm around him-- "Merry Chriss mess to you cowboy, my name is Nemala.
[9:45][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*This present is a stuffed horse plushie.
[9:45][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Hors!" *He squealed with delight and hugged the plush.
[9:46][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "No, Adrian, it's... you know what, just call it 'pony'...
[9:46][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I mean...isn't 'horse' acceptable as well? He's close
[9:46][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin with brows raised chuckled lightly* Hello Nemala, I'm istrin
[9:46][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "I mean, it sounds like he's saying..." *She gave Li a look.
[9:47][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks confused until a moment of realization washes over his face.* Ooooohhhhh...
[9:47][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles-- "Hello Istrin, it is a pleasure to meet you.
[9:47][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Love hors," *he hugged the toy happily.
[9:48][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Would you like some brandy Istrin, it is very good..
[9:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs the bridge of his nose.* Well, I have one more for you
[9:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*He quicky pushes the final box towards Adrian.
[9:48][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She quickly directed Adrian's attention to the next box, setting the horsie aside.
[9:48][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Quietly* "Zat is one 'ungry cougar.
[9:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked at the others for the briefest of moments before returning his attention back on Nemala* Sure, Since you've asked so nicely
[9:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:May I have an extra glass please Holo hank
[9:50][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "Sure you can." *He provided the zoid with one.
[9:50][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*quietly back to Val* Still not as bad as your behaviour towards our captain. *finishes his drink and pours another
[9:50][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--pours istrin some brandy, her hand not exactly completely steady.-
[9:51][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "I am younger zan 'er... and besides, she knows it is for ze sport.
[9:51][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*The next box contained...a stuffed, fluffy cat!
[9:51][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He gasped.* "Kitty!
[9:52][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams, looking at Jill.* See...this is what I had in mind for fulfilling his wishes
[9:52][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--slides the full glass of brandy over to Istrin, then turns and picks up her Eppoh.-- "I got this guy for Chiss mess." --she says shoving the plump thing in Istrin's face-
[9:52][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "You know what they say about stopped clocks," *she chuckled, then nodded.* "Same here... some people just take things way too literally.
[9:52][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"i call him Biscuit.
[9:53][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Well you win the gold medal for misbehaving on the bridge. *drinks
[9:53][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* That Santa was a bit...odd
[9:53][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*He picked the glass up, taking a sip* Biscuit? Does he talk too
[9:53][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Most of the people on this station are odd, Li.
[9:53][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Looks to biscuit at that.
[9:54][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--Nemala looks confused.-- "its an Eppoh...they don't talk..
[9:54][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"they mostly eat and poop and make grunting noises..
[9:54][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion, we just had a previous gift from chriss mass that was able to talk and I just thought.
[9:54][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Does biscuit do any tricks? *looks from over the bar
[9:54][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Good point
[9:55][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well...let's figure out what's in these boxes
[9:55][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie} "Eating and pooping and grunting noises. Sounds like my academy boyfriend.
[9:55][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "There's certainly a lot of them.
[9:55][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--shakes her head and smiles-- "oh no this is not from Chriss Mess, I got it from a friend for the holiday Chriss mess..
[9:55][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li carefully takes a box from the pile and sets it down. He starts opening it up.
[9:56][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Inside was a selection of assorted chocolates and a little card showing which flavours they were.
[9:56][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Oh no...they can't be...all of them
[9:56][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"my friend shipped it all the way from New Romulus..
[9:56][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Choblit!" *His eyes lit up.
[9:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he smiled* Oh.. he's a lucky fella then.
[9:57][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "There has to be at least a hundred boxes here, Li...
[9:57][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That was the last thing he wished for..
[9:57][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--turns her attention back to her bottle of brandy, removng her arm from Istrin to concentrate on the pour.-
[9:57][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She gave Li a look.* "Keep... five of them, we'll donate the rest to the war orphans or something.
[9:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* Good idea
[9:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li gives Adrian a small piece.
[9:58][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Watches poor Istrin, amused.
[9:58][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He nommed the chocolate happily.
[9:58][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--she spills a little, turns to Istrin with a playful grin-- "i may have had a little too much..
[9:59][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles, putting the top back on the box.* You wanna go see the kitties at the shelter Adrian
[9:59][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he smiled* I know Nemala.. There's quite a bit of evidence supporting that
[9:59][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Kitty?" *He showed Li his new cat plush.
[9:59][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* Kitty
[9:59][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--giggles at Istrin's comment as if he just cracked a really funny joke.-
[10:00][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We can go see that nice lady Veeri I just met, I'm sure she will help you
[10:00][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--pets her Eppoh and sips her drink.-
[10:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:This is a bar after all.. Right commander? *TO Val
[10:01][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie} "Quite so." *She takes a sip of her cognac.
[10:01][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"..you may wonder why i am here rather than over in the Romulan quarter..
[10:02][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--leans over to Istrin like she is about to whisper.-- "..it turns out Romulans don't celebrate Chriss mess...most don't even know what it is..
[10:03][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:And you enjoy christmas? Why? I'm curious
[10:05][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Go!
[10:06][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks at Jill.* You can come if you want
[10:06][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles at Istrin-- "I do...At the orphanage on Eirhess II they used to give us gifts on Chiss mess..mostly like new cloths and stuff...but it was fun getting stuff.
[10:06][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:It is a pretty good excuse to go around and drink vast amounts of alcohol too, now that I think about it.
[10:07][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She smirked.* "I wasn't aware I needed permission, but thanks.
[10:07][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--she slaps Istrin on the arm playfully-- "You don't need an excuse for that..
[10:07][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.* Do you want to walk or Fa carry you
[10:08][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "It's too far for him to walk, he's still getting the hang of it." *She went to their bedroom to get dressed.
[10:08][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I like getting gifts to-- *he took another sip* You're right now that I think about it.
[10:08][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri is very carefully brushing the kzari war horsey's mane, feeding it a sugar cube with her free hand.
[10:08][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"i am always right..
[10:09][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Up." *He held his arms up to Li.
[10:09][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You are? Always?
[10:10][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"that's my story and I am sticking with it...
[10:10][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li picks him up.
[10:10][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Good story to stick with
[10:11][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*raises his glass to Nemala before drinking
[10:11][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Rule one, I am always right...Rule two, if you think I may be wrong refer to rule one.
[10:11][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--raises her glass to Alex..
[10:12][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Romulan rules of leadership...
[10:12][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he grinned, giving her a once over* Is it just those two rules, or are there more
[10:13][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"generally they never get past rule two before the troops fall in line or someone gets shot..
[10:13][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She came out after a minute or two in a Sons of None t-shirt.* "Ready?
[10:14][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"rule three is, when in doubt use your disruptor on it.
[10:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Ready
[10:14][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Zat is generally rule one.
[10:15][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "After you.
[10:15][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--looks over at Val, amused-- "oh no no...not rule one they just usually skip rule one and two and go to three straight away..
[10:15][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li carries Adrian out of the room towards the shelter.
[10:16][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Chuckles.* "Zat is a very fair approach.
[10:16][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Then what happens-- Nevermind.. I get the idea of your rules now Nemala.
[10:16][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Very simple.. *he nodded, sipping his brandy
[10:16][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*There was a loading screen as they traveled from Home Base to Animal Shelter.
[10:17][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles playfully at Istrin, then looks at VAl-- "I am not sure about fair, but certainly consistent.
[10:17][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Luckily the Li family is on a solid state drive.
[10:18][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Zorins load in to the Animal Shelter.
[10:18][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri is doing her work, reprogramming the yanda blackfish's aquarium, since it dispenses food too often and the fishies are getting a bit pudgy.
[10:20][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "I do like zem eizher way.
[10:20][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Romulans are a practical people.
[10:20][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles to Val-- "Romulans have a certain charm, if find the right ones.
[10:21][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "So I see.
[10:21][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Too many are dead set on proving all the negative Romulan sterotypes true..
[10:22][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hello
[10:22][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Some stereotypes are based in truzh. My nationality is known for being a bit... bitchy. Sometimes you must just embrace it.
[10:23][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Hi again..." *She blinks.* "Did I forget another animal?
[10:23][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin merely took a sip at that statement, glancing at Val briefly
[10:23][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"..true some sterotypes are based in truth...some based in cold war paranoia..
[10:23][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Yeah, him..." *She pointed to Li with her thumb.
[10:24][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He waved at Veeri.* "Hi.
[10:24][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Hello!" *She beams at Adrian, then looks to Jill.* "Uhrm... we don't accept bajorans... I think? I gotta ask the doctor?
[10:24][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.
[10:24][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We are going to adopt an animal for him
[10:25][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Sure... I can wait...
[10:25][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sideeyes Jill.
[10:25][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She gave him a little smirk.
[10:25][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, yes... I'm pretty sure most of zose are not true. Even if zey do make for some very entertaining reading. Cold war era war novels are... somezhing.
[10:25][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "Veeri to doctor Az? We don't accept humanoids, right? We got a lady who wants to leave a bajoran with us?
[10:26][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sighs.* It was a joke
[10:26][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri] =/\= "...Um... Veeri?
[10:26][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:=^= "Uh... they said it was a joke? Sorry, Doctor. Oh, and the aquarium is fixed. Sorry!" *She cut off, becoming red with embarassment.
[10:27][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--nods to Val-- "i have read a few of those, from both sides of the conflict...The Romulan Empire put out quite a few cold war suspense novel where good triumphs over the evil Federation..
[10:27][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri] *She was left blinking in confusion.
[10:27][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Zere was a lovely one where you detonate a tricobalt bomb on a colony and blame it on ze federation.
[10:28][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:[David] What did she mean by that
[10:28][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "No, well... our son's going to be two in a few months, so we think now would be a great time for him to get a kitten or... some other small baby animal.
[10:28][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"...oh yeah state sponsored terrorism... a common theme..
[10:28][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[JIll] "I mean, not to take care of himself, of course, but to play with and grow up with, you know?
[10:29][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri nodnods.* "Well, kitties are a good place to start. Unless you want something else?" *She looks to Adrian.
[10:30][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Quite so. Seems to be somezhing zat 'appens in ze LMC too.
[10:30][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He looked back at Veeri and drooled.
[10:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Common theme in multiple galaxies.. and some could argue that it's been used effectively too.
[10:31][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Dino-saw." *he finally said.
[10:31][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "...Maybe not a dinosaur...
[10:31][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, there are some smaller reptile breeds that look like smaller dinosaurs and are easy to take care of?
[10:31][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--nods-- "it is unfortunately a common tactic in real life. governments can get willing accomplices to do things they can't do directly for political or legal reasons...it gives them plausible..
[10:32][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:deniability.
[10:32][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Let's maybe stick with the kittens and puppies for now.
[10:32][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That sounds good
[10:33][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Romulan Empire was notorious for doing just that.
[10:33][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] "Okey... we had a litter of earth kitties a few weeks back, and there are also baby kirtascan sand cats... although they may be a bit too young and may require a bit more care the first week
[10:33][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"And a half?
[10:33][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, pre-unification earzh governments did zat all too much as well. I would not be surprised if certain ancestors of mine did it as well.
[10:33][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"or I should say the Tal Shiar was notorious for that.
[10:34][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "How -much- more care?" *She eyed Veeri.
[10:34][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"But, then again they were just plain notorious..
[10:35][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He hugged himself against Li.
[10:35][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, bottle feeding every 4-6 hours, then rubbing their butts with a towel like their mama would with her tongue to get them to go to the bathroom.
[10:35][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"They have about... a week and a half or so until they are at litterbox training age.
[10:35][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--raises her glass-- "Well here is to alliances and hopefully people learning from past mistakes..
[10:35][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She looked horrified.* "...Maybe the older ones...
[10:36][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Clinks her glass to Nemala's.* "And to ze LMC for giving us a new frontier to strenghzen our bonds."
[10:37][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles-- "ah yes the LMC...so much potential for good and bad...
[10:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he raised his own* And happy holidays
[10:37][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--takes a drink.-
[10:37][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Okey! The earth kitties are five and a half weeks old and most of them are already weaned off their mama, so they are good to take home.
[10:37][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Happy holidays and Merry Chiss Mess!

[10:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Uhm.. Say it one more time
[10:40][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"Chriss mess.
[10:40][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She walked over the corridors, opening the door to a kitten room holding various kitties, including some very young, light grey spotted kitties.

[10:41][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"..am I saying it wrong..it is a strange word..
[10:42][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.
[10:42][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:'Yupp! You can have any of the other kittens as well, but these ones are very young, and this one in particular..." *She picks up one of the grey kitties with a green bow on her neck.* "Is super 
[10:42][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Friendly and cuddly... very good for first time cat parents.
[10:42][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You might've just had enough alcohol to where you slur your words, which is very normal
[10:42][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sets Adrian down.
[10:43][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Kittyyyyy!!" *He squealed and made grabby hands for the kitten.
[10:43][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"...okay..
[10:43][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Please be careful with it." *She offered the recently awoken and confused kitten to Adrian.
[10:44][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--sighs and picks up her Epohh and her bottle-- "Well it was certainly, enjoyable hanging out with you guy on this fine holiday evening...
[10:44][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He plopped down onto his butt, hugging the kitten gently and making happy little noises.
[10:44][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:"But, I must be moving on..
[10:44][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The other kittens in the room curiously moved toward Adrian.
[10:44][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--she leans over and gives Istrin a kiss on teh cheek.-
[10:44][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten seems to calm down rather quickly, settling in nicely into Adrian.
[10:45][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Enjoy ze rest of your evening, zen.
[10:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he smiled* Take care with the bottle Nem-
[10:45][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He babbled to the kitten in the universal baby language.
[10:45][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--nods to Val-- "I will and you do the same..
[10:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nemala.. *he smiled again
[10:45][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri giggles.* "Awww... the kittens react to him kinda like they do to docotr Az.
[10:46][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.* He is telepathic
[10:46][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Of course, I do 'ave a lovely tea party waiting for me later tonight.
[10:46][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--smiles at Istrin-- "Oh don't worry about me, I have been far more drunk than this before and survived..
[10:46][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri nodnods.* "I think that will make first time pet parenting easier and much easier to learn, then. He will make a real connection with his kitty.
[10:47][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--turns to leave.-- "tea party? Sounds adorable..have fun.
[10:47][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You handle yourself well, I wasn't worried in the slightest. *he nodded
[10:47][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"And maybe when he grows up, I can help him pick out a dinosaur as well. I have heard they're -very- receptive to telepathy.
[10:47][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He leaned his head down and licked the kitten on the top of the head.
[10:47][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Chuckles.* "Oh, D'accord.
[10:47][DOIC1]Nemala@Demoncheru:--winks to Istrin as she heads out-
[10:47][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Adrian... don't do that..." *She cringed.
[10:48][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten looks up and licks back, purring like a little lawn mower.
[10:48][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He giggled and tried to imitate it.* "Brrrrrrr.
[10:48][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Don't worry! Our kitties are super clean and have passed all the neccessary parasite checks... The doctor makes sure of it.
[10:48][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin watched Nemala and her exposed back make exit before turning to Val* Well she was a sweet thing.
[10:49][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Right..." *She seemed skeptical.
[10:49][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Laughs.* "Oh... -you- were ze sweet zhing in ze situation. She was ze 'untress.
[10:50][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I can send you her health certificate?
[10:50][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It's okay
[10:50][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Look, I don't doubt you take care of them, but they're baby animals. They get into stuff...
[10:50][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The little kitten keeps purring, her back legs stretching out as she is held by Adrian.
[10:50][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:She just doesn't want him licking the cat. It's probably a bad habit
[10:51][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Nodnods.* "Yeah, I think that might have to do with the telepathy. He probably feels its something kittens do and like.
[10:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he shrugged* Well the huntress had some good brandy too.
[10:52][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Oh right
[10:52][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Quite ze sugar baby, are you not?
[10:52][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He rubbed his cheek against the kitten affectionately.
[10:53][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "...You have to admit, that's pretty damn cute.
[10:53][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I'm not a prostitute ma'am
[10:53][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.* It really is. I think we found the one for him
[10:53][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten did its little slow blink, clearly enjoying the affection.
[10:54][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Yupp! They seem to get along nicely.
[10:54][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He mirrored the kitty by squinting.
[10:54][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "It was a joke... And sugar babies are not neccessarily prostitutes.
[10:54][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Does that one have a name?" *She looked at Veeri.
[10:56][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, their mom's owner said they were from a breed called the "Egyptian meow" when she gave birth here, so we gave them all egyptian names. This one is Amunet.
[10:56][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Egyptian? Is that some sort of planet
[10:56][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "...You mean Egyptian mau?
[10:56][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "No, it's a region on Earth.
[10:56][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Oh
[10:57][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"It's a region on Earth.' *She then nods to Jill.* "Mau.. maybe? I wasn't here when they were born, I just watched the recordings.
[10:57][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Famed, some might say, for their worship of cats," *she chuckled.
[10:57][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I think I'll call her Amu. *Li chuckles.
[10:58][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"That works! You can choose a new name too... Oh, and by the way, this breed really likes water, so she'll be easy to bathe if she and Adrian get into messes.
[10:58][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Oh boy... just what I wanted, two little creatures to bathe," *she smirked.
[10:59][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, she will mostly bathe herself, like all kitties, but if there is a big mess that she can't deal with herself, she won't be much trouble... Please, follow me to the office, if she's the one you
[10:59][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Ooohhh.. Right.. *he then shrugged* It is what it is.. isn't that what they say
[10:59][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.* Maybe she will encourage Adrian to bathe
[10:59][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Want, we'll get the paperwork done quick, and I'll give you your first time cat parent gifts.
[11:00][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods to Jill.* I'm in favor of this one
[11:00][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Nods.* "Indeed. Romulan women not your type?
[11:00][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "If Adrian likes her, I like her," *she smirked.* "Though he does tend to like any animal... hence why he picked the first one he was presented with.
[11:00][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well, that's why she picked a good one for him
[11:01][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods appreciatively to Veeri.
[11:01][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Oh, clearly," *she chuckled and went to pick up Adrian.* "Be careful and keep her safe, okay?" *She told the boy as she lifted them up.
[11:01][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri nodnods.* "She's playful, but not too playful. The other ones may be a bit of a handful, combined with a humanoid baby.
[11:01][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I'm sure she will learn Adrian's boundaries, just as Adrian will learn hers
[11:02][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten's lower legs kick a bit, trying to find a safer footing on Adrian's arm as she is raised even higher.
[11:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:No she just seemed like one of the insatiable, always moving types.
[11:02][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Oh, yes. The telepathy will make it even easier.
[11:02][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Chuckles.* "Well, zose can 'ave zeir charm as well. But zey do get... dangerous.
[11:03][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Yes, easier for them to get into mischief.
[11:03][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.
[11:04][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Let's go get that stuff signed
[11:04][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "After you.
[11:04][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:She could've been tal shiar and tricked me into donating my organs for the worthy cause with that talented tongue of hers too.
[11:05][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri smiles.* "Well, mischief is part of havign a kitty..." *She leads to the office.
[11:05][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Jill followed.
[11:05][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, non. Take it from me, if someone like ze tal shiar wanted your internal organs, you would be in a tub of ice already.
[11:06][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li follows.
[11:07][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri led into a nice office, full of pictures of various animals with the shelter crew and with their new families.* "Please, sit down, someone will bring the gifts right over.
[11:07][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She sat down behind the desk, starting to draw up an adoption form on her PADD.
[11:07][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Jill sat down with Adrian on her lap.
[11:08][DOIC6]Istrin@the5of43:[Sinez] *The comfy trill in his robes sat down and continued to enjoy some old christmas films...the silent treatment still in full effect on a certain vulcan officer
[11:08][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten reached a paw to bat at Jill's hair while hugged.
[11:08][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes a seat.
[11:08][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Even here on the citadel? That sounds highly unlikely.
[11:08][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She chuckled.* "Hey, silly thing..." *She tucked her hair behind her ear.
[11:09][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The same skara volunteer from earlier slithered in, holding a purple, fuzzy kitten bed with a zebra print on the soft pillow on the inside, a few toys, a comb and a bag of toilet pads stacked on top
[11:10][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Of the bed, leaving them on the side of the desk, giving a sharp fanged smile to the kitten and its new family.
[11:10][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She blinked.* "That's all for us?
[11:11][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Wow
[11:11][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "Oh, zey would 'ave taken you already, you would not 'ave returned to ze Citadel. Groups like ze tal shiar are... maybe not ze most moral, but highly efficient.
[11:12][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hmm.. I think Rhys would've loved that actually.
[11:12][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Skara] "Firsssst time pet parentsss gifts." *He nods.* "To help with the neccessssitiesss.
[11:12][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Oh, um, well thank you.
[11:13][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Yupp! And I will send you the most appropriate replicator patterns for foods for a kitten her age once we are done with the adoption... just a second, almost done with the form.
[11:13][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "'Ow so? You seem like a dilligent worker.
[11:15][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Excellent
[11:16][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri slid the PADD over.* "I am going to need one of you's names, signature, and contact information... We had some incidents with adoptions early in the year, so it's for the animals own good that
[11:16][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"We know how to find you.
[11:17][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well...we're not exactly hard to find, but sure
[11:17][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes the PADD and inputs their information.
[11:17][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Incidents?" *She raised a brow.
[11:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I think it's just people in general maybe? *he shrugged
[11:18][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri looked around and whispered.* "Someone ate their adopted fishie.
[11:19][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She blinked.
[11:19][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:What?!?
[11:19][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "People in general would be 'appy if your organs were 'arvested?" *she blinked.
[11:19][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Who even does that?
[11:19][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri nodnods.* "It was so terrible and sad...
[11:20][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That's horrible
[11:20][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Well... if it helps any, I have no interest in eating a cat.
[11:20][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Adrian seems more interested in licking it than putting it in his mouth, so that's a positive
[11:20][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri nodnods.* "Yupp, I presume most people do not.
[11:22][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She checks the information.* "Everything appears to be in order! Could you please stand in front of the wall with her? We take photos of every animal and their new family to remember them!
[11:22][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Sure
[11:23][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She stood up, holding Adrian as he held the kitten, and headed to the wall.
[11:23][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads over next to Jill.
[11:24][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri smiles, taking a nice little camera, turning the flash off to avoid scaring the kitten who was busy trying to climb further up Adrian's shoulder.* "Say "Pawprints!
[11:24][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] "Bobbints!" *He giggled as she crawled on him.
[11:25][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Pewprints! *Li kisses Jill's cheek.
[11:25][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri giggles as well and snaps them.* "Sending to your PADD so you have your first new family photo. Thank you for choosing to give an animal a new family!
[11:25][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"We will send you your adoption certificate on your PADD as well.
[11:26][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Thank you, we'll take good care of her." *She gently picked up the kitten and put her back in Adrian's arms before she could get in an awkward position.
[11:27][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thank you again Veeri. You have turned this Christmas from a disaster into a wonderful memory
[11:27][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten tried curling up in a more comfortable position at least, letting out a small meow of disapproval at being removed from her vantage point.
[11:27][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren strolled into the bar.* "Hank! I need more liquor. Two bottles, let's go with tequila this time.
[11:27][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I am very happy to hear it! Merry Christmas, and I hope she brings you a ton of happiness!
[11:28][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "Ho ho ho..." *He went to procure the requested bottles.
[11:28][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren side-eyed him.
[11:29][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Merry Christmas to you and yours. Adrian, thank the kind lady for her help
[11:29][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Gulped down the cognac to avoid any comments.
[11:29][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He looked at Veeri.* "Tanks...
[11:30][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"You're welcome! I hope you two grow up very big and strong and happy together!
[11:31][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Adrian] *He smiled, then gave her an open-hand-close-hand wave.* "Bye bye.
[11:31][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri returned the wave.* "Bye! Don't forget the kitten presents!
[11:32][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Yeah, Li...
[11:32][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Bye bye! *Li grabs their kitty presents.
[11:32][DOIC5]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She gave a wave and headed back to their quarters.
[11:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Well not if they were taken without my approval? *he looked at the recently ho'd person and nodded
[11:32][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads back with the family, thrilled.
[11:33][DOIC5]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Veeri waves, then exits the office to go deal with the tiger baby, it being bottle feeding time.
[11:33][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren eyed Istrin a moment.* "Hm... wait, don't I know you from somewhere?
[11:35][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads back into their quarters after a brief loading screen.
[11:36][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Mhmm, we met briefly a while back.. *he finished his brandy
[11:37][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Mh, funny how that happens." *She accepted her bottles from Holo Hank.* "Take care, kid.
[11:37][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Adrian and his kitty were snoozing and cuddled up in Jill's arms.
[11:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Enjoy Eren
[11:38][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She gave him a wink and strolled back out.
[11:38][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.* I don't think Amu would mind sleeping in the crib
[11:38][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Are you sure that's a good idea? What if she pees on his bed?
[11:39][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Do they do that while they sleep
[11:40][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Maybe?
[11:41][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:You are the Earth animal expert here. *Li smirks as he sets down the kitten bed, setting it up.
[11:41][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She went over to set Adrian and his kitten on the couch.
[11:42][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:But you're right, we should set her on the bed to be safe
[11:42][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she sips the chocalate.
[11:42][DOIC6]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*The kitten rolls over on her back, extending her hind legs and spreading her toes, totally happy with her new living arrangements, snoozing peacefully.
[11:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*realizes she let it get cold then got up and ordered another one
[11:43][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Aww... just let them sleep for now, they're fine on the couch. And if she wakes up and has to go, we'll have the litter box set up.
[11:43][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Orders another cognac, making some sort of checklist.
[11:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* Good idea
[11:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*He beams at the pair, then goes over to kiss Jill.* Merry Christmas
[11:45][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She returned the kiss.* "Happy... what's the Bajoran equivalent, again?
[11:46][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Uhhh...the Day of Atonement
[11:47][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "That doesn't sound very... festive.
[11:48][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Nods to Istrin.* "I 'ave to go pick up a few zhings for ze tea party. Good evening.
[11:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well there's the Gratitude Festival but that's more like...that Thanksgiving holiday
[11:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You're actually going to that tea party? I wish you good luck and happy holidays then
[11:49][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Oh! I know
[11:49][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Ha'mara
[11:49][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Ha'mara?" *She raised her brows.* "What does that mean?
[11:50][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] "'Ey, someone 'as to make sure Ezri is not in danger. Zhank you, and 'appy 'olidays.
[11:51][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well...it was basically a festival to celebrate the coming of the Emissary
[11:51][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It became an annual holiday on the day he arrived on Bajor
[11:52][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Ah... well, happy Captain Sisko day, then," *she teased.
[11:52][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:The word itself was used by a Prophet who predicted the arrival of the Emissary
[11:52][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.
[11:52][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he smiled, waving at her once she departed
[11:53][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She chuckled as well, then kissed him gently again.
[11:54][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li kisses her, wrapping his arms around her.* I've got some more gifts for you...*Li says playfully.
[11:54][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] *She smirked at him.* "The same gifts you try to give me the rest of the year?
[11:55][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hey, I didn't say anything about them being unique to Christmas
[11:55][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:[Valerie] *Waves back and moves out to have breakfast... tea time... at Tiffany's.
[11:57][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "Mhm... fair point...
[11:57][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smirks.* We'll have to make sure Amu doesn't interrupt us now
[11:58][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Jill] "That's why we have a holo-nanny... shouldn't be hard to program it to watch a kitten for a few minutes while we go into another room.
[11:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Good idea
[12:01][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Computer, have holonanny on standby for this room
	
[12:01][DOIC6]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Eirene] "Ahem...
[12:02][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Sorry...Eirene
