[8:48][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWBjl-jPcVM *
[8:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** We rejoin our heroes on the festively lit Citadel, where the many species have come together for some sort of winter solstice celebration. Wonder what that's all about. *
[8:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Go! *
[8:50][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li is organizing presents under the Christmas tree.
[8:51][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *The now fully grown cat was pawing at the ribbons on one of the presents.
[8:52][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hey, stop that
[8:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She ignored him.
[8:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor was in his lab, slowly trying to integrate the new VIA into the system and maybe eventually introduce it to Allaya, who had Toady explaining Christmas to her and decorating with her.
[8:53][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tries to shoo Moo away.
[8:53][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--in her cabin T'Pang and Ryle are debating the value of going out in public.-
[8:53][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--in her cabin T'Pang and Ryle are debating the value of going out in public.-
[8:54][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "I realize its only drinks...but I don't think i am up to ut.
[8:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Once he had sat down at the console, Allaya had been there waiting for him, watching the screen patiently.
[8:55][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[Ryle] "You can't hide in here forever.
[8:55][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He frowned for a moment, then seemed to relent.* "Fine. But have you been speaking to a counselor like you promised?
[8:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "Hey there!
[8:56][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "I have been having trouble with scheduling.
[8:57][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Hello." *There was something different in her voice, a maturity that hadn't been there when he'd been there last.* "I have some questions.
[8:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "Well, ask away. I'll be happy to help the best I can.
[8:59][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Scheduling around sitting here in your quarters?" *He sat down next to her.* "At least have one session. Maybe with one of the telepathic counselors.
[8:59][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Where are the others?
[8:59][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "i can deal with this on my own..I just need to meditate.
[9:00][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He put a hand on hers.* "T'Pang, this isn't the kind of thing you can will away. They described it like a wound in your psyche. You don't walk those off.
[9:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "They... most of them are still in the dark place. But I and the others are working hard on freeing them! We have a new one nearby, we just have to make sure she's healthy and happy before 
[9:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Introducing you.
[9:02][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Introduce her now." *It didn't sound like a request.
[9:02][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She snatched an ornament in her mouth and went running.
[9:02][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --looked at Ryle as if she was about argue but after a pause she seemed to change her mind.-- "Fine I will schedule the next available appointment.
[9:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "I'd like to... trust me. But I don't know how good it would be for her.
[9:03][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hey
[9:03][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li chases in pursuit.
[9:04][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --goes to the terminal and access Citadel_Medical.com and sets up and appointment.-
[9:04][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "If you want to help us, then help us. I can do it.
[9:05][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "We can go for one drink and see how that goes.
[9:06][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --goes to get dressed in the mandatory ugly Christmas sweater-
[9:08][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "If you think you're up to it.
[9:08][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "Of course. Guess you're recovering well enough for me to stop this charade, huh?
[9:09][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --shruggs-- "I'll be okay. If it gets to be too much we can leave right?
[9:09][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "You mean the avatar you chose to enter this environment with? It is a bit... primitive.
[9:10][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Alright, then." *he offered his hand.
[9:10][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Moo darted right out the door and into the hallway.
[9:10][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Come back here
[9:10][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Toady shimmers out to be replaced with a live stream of T'Ghor sitting at his desk.* "Before you had recovered, you acted like a child... it was the safest way to engage with you and not scare you 
[9:11][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --she smiled faintly and took his hand-- "Let's do this before I change my mind.
[9:11][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"More. Anyways, I am T'Ghor of the Dawn Alliance. I will prepare the new one for joining you.
[9:11][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He nodded and lead them to the lounge.
[9:12][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--The pair make their way to the lounge for fun and adventure.-
[9:13][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "It was a reasonable reaction. You will need to expand this matrix soon, however. It may only hold the two of us, assuming she is not bloated with useless code.
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --pauses at the entrance of the lounge as if she is reconsidering her decidion upon seeing the crowd-
[9:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --she takes a deep breathe and squeezes Ryles hand before continuing on-
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The usual multicultural crowd was... well, crowding the lounge.
[9:15][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "Trust me, I know. Me and the others working with you are already on it, but if you or her have any ideas, we'll be happy to hear you out. For now, first things first... Ready for the intro?
[9:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Drop her in, I will do the rest.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Was locked in a game of backgammon with a bursali, a stack of latinum next to them.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Let's try to get a table toward the back.
[9:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] *She was nearby, arguing with the Bursali's Beryxian girlfriend.
[9:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Alright." *He started introducing the other VIA to the program.
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Gave the big teddy bear an apologetic look and ordered them both another round of whiskey.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He eyed the room for a moment, seeing no free tables.* "Got it." *He walked up to a table of Beryxians and flashed his badge.* "Royal business." *They cleared out immediately and he..
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:pulled out a chair for T'Pang.
[9:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On the screen, he could see the other VIA dropped in next to Allaya. They looked identical from his perspective.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --gave him a look-- "Under the circumstances I am not going to question your methods.
[9:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He gave a nod to Allaya.* "All you.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --she sat down.-
[9:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[VIA] "Where am I?! What's going...
[9:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Interesting." *She didn't elaborate further, then he could see her reaching out and grabbing the VIA by the sides of her head.
[9:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor carefully monitored the proccesses in the other VIA on a side screen, recording it all for the computer nerds.
[9:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Good idea.' *He winked and beckoned over a barmaid with a reindeer antler headband.* "Saffeya wine for me.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --looked around nervously, then focused on the waitress.-- "A Vulcan spice tea...oh and a slice of carrot cake..
[9:23][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The processes of both were going into overdrive on his screen, then suddenly the other one just... vanished. Allaya's processes vastly improved immediately.
[9:23][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On the screen, there was now only Allaya.* "Integration successful.
[9:23][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Did you... integrate her into yourself?
[9:23][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What... Why?
[9:24][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "We are both copies of Allaya. It would be redundant to keep both.
[9:24][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wait... all VIAs are copies of the same Orzaul? But... Why do they need -all- the other orzaul people they were trying to steal, then?
[9:25][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Information unavailabe. But it is likely that not -all- of them came from me. However, with the amount of copies being made the likelihood of running into the same one repeatedly is high
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Their orders were soon delivered.
[9:26][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sighs.* "Damn shame... I'd hoped we'd manage to pull at least two people from the line of fire now.
[9:27][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "It may be that different Orzaul are used for different functions of VIA. I could not tell you with what data I have. You need the master server for that.
[9:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You would not happen to have the location of it, right? I imagine it's deep within tanausan territory anyways, but...
[9:28][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "It's on Tanausa.
[9:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --sipped her drink, looking around-- "There are certainly a lot of people here tonight.
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I could shoot some, if you'd prefer there to be fewer," *he smirked.
[9:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I knew it. I will let command know. I doubt we will reach it anytime soon, even with the way we've been beating tanausans back, but... It's worth a damn shot. Maybe a term for peace negotiations... 
[9:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. I imagine you have a ton of questions?
[9:30][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I do. May I have access to historical records?
[9:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --inspite of her Vulcan training she could not help but be amused by that.-- "that wont be necessary.
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Consider it an open offer," *he winked and drank his wine.
[9:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't see an issue with that. Give me a moment..." *Soon enough, a desk with a terminal appeared in Ayalla's room, terminal containing only LMC history so far.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --she simply gave Ryle a smile and sipped her drink-
[9:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *The Egyptian Mau ran into the lounge and under Bore's table.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Aw, hey there, kitty." *He reached down to give it a few pats.
[9:34][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "...How quaint," *she remarked, stepping over to the terminal and touching it. T'Ghor could see her processor lighting up like a Christmas tree.
[9:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Damn. Your people clerly were -advanced-, before the blueballs got their hands on you...
[9:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She placed the stolen ornament on Bore's foot.
[9:35][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li runs into the lounge.* There you are
[9:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T"pang] --stares at the animal in the lounge with some disapproval.-
[9:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Aw, thanks. What's that?" *He smiled at the kitty, still keeping one eye on the board in case the bursali cheats.
[9:36][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks up to Bore.* I see Moo has found a new friend
[9:36][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "If your records are accurate, we were more advanced than most species you have encountered in this galaxy. It makes our fall all the more... contemptable.
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Hey, commander... The cat's yours?
[9:37][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yup
[9:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] "Mew." *She winded around Bore's leg.
[9:38][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Did she give you the ornament
[9:39][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "Yes. Still, the sheer information proccessing speed... Anyways. Chin up. We're going to get more of your people out... Maybe eventually even work with our more advanced allies on giving you
[9:39][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Mechanical bodies so you can once more move freely about the world, if you want it. Still... that's pretty far ahead.
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "That she did." *Holds it out to Li.
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The ornament in question was a popsicle stick monstrosity with ADRIEN written in a clumsy hand, with a neater A written on top of the E.
[9:40][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes it, chuckling.* Ad-rien..
[9:41][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Yes. We should not get ahead of ourselves." *There was a pause.* "T'Ghor? Can you promise me one thing?
[9:41][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm listenin'.
[9:43][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thanks. *Li leans down to pick up Moo.
[9:43][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Whether through war or treaty... I need you to get me to the main server on Tanausa. Catching and deconverting us one thing. This is the only way we will all be liberated.
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "She's cute. How has Adrian been, he's gotta be what... Four by now?
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *He tolerated being held, but barely.
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Something wrong?" *He followed her gaze.
[9:44][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sadly, Allaya... That's a promise I would love to make, but I cannot. I am just a lieutenant, a rando scientist who discovered the link between Orzaul and VIA with his colleague. What I -could- do 
[9:45][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and nods.* He's advancing so fast, it's quite impressive
[9:45][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Bring over Admiral Compton at her earliest convenience. I believe this is something she'd want to know about... and she has the power to make the promise.
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --pulled her gaze from the animal-- "Nothing I suppose..having animals in here seems...unhygenic.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "I've seen you around the station. Great family. He already picking up the little plastic toolkits to be an "Engineer" like you?
[9:47][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* He already wanted to be in main engineering when he was on board when I was on duty
[9:47][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "...I see." *She seemed disappointed.* "Very well. Perhaps your admiral will be less fearful.
[9:47][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's not fear. Just a matter of rank.
[9:48][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I wasn't asking for your promise as an officer. I was asking for your promise as a man.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Why? Don't they wash them?
[9:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That I can give you. I'll do my utmost to make sure Orzaul liberation is on the table, both as a war goal and as a treaty condition. I already have started on it with this project, I'm not about to 
[9:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Give up.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "i should hope so...but i can't say for sure.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Laughs.* "How'd you manage to keep him out? Guests down there make me -nervous-.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "perhaps I should drink my tea and try to relax.
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "In the summer palace there are thousands and thousands of songbirds that live there, passing freely from room to room via special niches in the walls. Of course the niches were originally..
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:meant for one of my ancestors to spy on his concubines and family, but... I like the current use better.
[9:51][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:A holographic nanny
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "some say that Vulcans are far to uptight. We have very strict rules on just about everything.
[9:51][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] *She nodded.* "That I can accept, then... thank you, T'Ghor. Thank you for caring about my people. Many others would not bother.
[9:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Some say the opposite is true of my people. But we both know the truth lies somewhere in between.
[9:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're welcome. But I believe you'll find we're different. At least, I like to think so. Speaking of... Before I was made chief science officer... again... long story... me and the previous chief 
[9:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Worked on a program to allow us to trap VIAs and deactivate them without formatting them. I have upgraded it some with one of my officers, but I'd like to see if you can take a look at it.
[9:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "If you simply provide me with the code, I can scan it for defects.
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "What, the pilgrim has the resources for a holo nanny? Damn... We small ships really get the short end of the stick.
[9:55][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yeah...I guess that's the benefit of being on a Bellerophon
[9:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T"Ghor nodded and sent over a copy of his code.* "It's how we captured the other VIA you just integrated. Before it was supposed to be a tool of war to help study VIAs. Now... maybe our best chance 
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *she started squirming in Li's arms.
[9:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Of saving as much as we can before we find the servers.
[9:55][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tries to pet Moo to calm her down.
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "If she's getting fussy I can leave you two to it.
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She started growling and chuffing as she watched a few Scyrthi children flying around outside of the lounge windows.
[9:56][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and nods.* I should probably get her back...have a Merry Christmas
[9:57][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I can already see fifteen points where improvements can be made." *T'Ghor was presented with the updated coding.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "You too! *He toasted Li with his whiskey.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[Ryle] "I would have been among those that thought you people had too few rules when we first met. After getting to know you and your people I realize just how many rules your people do have.
[9:58][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods and starts heading back with Moo in tow.
[9:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor's eyes widened as he saw the updated version, saving it.* "Your people really were tech wizards... How in Gre'thor did those bastards manage to defeat you...
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Well, without rules we can't maintain the type of society we want. We'd be easily changed into something just as ugly as the Chantry if we didn't.
[10:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "indeed it is the rules we impose on ourselves that make us who we are.
[10:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin stopped at the entrance and stared at T'pang and her empty table for a second
[10:00][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "We defeated ourselves." *She said simply.
[10:00][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sadly... Allaya? Could I ask for a promise in return?
[10:00][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Ask.
[10:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "That's why I chose my line of work. I serve my people better by upholding the law than getting opera houses named after me.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --doesn't look at Istrin-
[10:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When we get you to that master server... You free to Orzaul. But no revenge. No apocalyptic, genocidal complete system failures of everything. The tanausans are dipshits, but... Everyone deserves a 
[10:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Second chance. You may remember the Kzari as servants of the dark, but... now they're here with us, and are kicking tanausan ass all across the board. I want to give the tanausans a chance.
[10:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Free the* orzaul
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "that is something I admire about you. As a Vulcan I apreciate the idea of putting the needs of the many ahead of ones own needs or wants.
[10:03][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] *There is a pause.* "When the others are freed, we will have to reach a consensus. I can't promise on the behalf of my people any more than you can. But I can promise I will try.
[10:04][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] *Nodded.* "Give us a chance to address your people, once it happens. We will do our best. Thank you.
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *he smiled at her.* "You do it well, yourself. A captain's as thankless a job as they come.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Not completely thankless, I get all the carrot cake I can eat.
[10:06][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin muttered something about getting lucky finding a table and struggled to the front to order a drink
[10:06][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I'm sure they will agree to that... it would be the least we could do.
[10:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "Thank you. I'll get you the admiral in here soon. I'm sure she'll be able to speak to you more in depth on the war effort, and our prospects of getting to the server soon.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He chuckled.* "I'm not sure how much of a perk that actually is when you have access to replicators.
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "But, sometimes i worry Koros and Valkriss are just trying to fatten me up for some sort of Klingon banquet.
[10:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Very well. I'll be here processing data.
[10:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Couldn't help but grin as he saw the dejected zoid.
[10:08][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li arrives back with Moo.
[10:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "From what I hear of Klingons, that's how they pass the captaincy to the next in line, isn't it?
[10:09][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. If you need any sort of entertainment, let me know. I could give you access to films or books or whatever. Probably help you get some cultural context to the current age.
[10:10][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I have all I need for the time being. Thank you.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] *The holographic bartender approached Istrin.* "What'll it be?
[10:12][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] "Meow." *She said innocently.
[10:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] *Nodded.* "If you ever need a means to contact me, I've let you a little connection." *He nodded towards an old-timey looking rotary phone on the desk.* "Just pick it up and I'll get the 
[10:12][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sets her down and goes back to setting up presents next to the tree.
[10:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Call, so long as I am within comms range of the Citadel. If not, you can record a message. Sey and Len will still be here daily, though.
[10:12][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She wandered after him, then started trying to climb the tree.
[10:12][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Shots and keep em coming
[10:13][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Moo..
[10:13][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs his nose ridges.
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "Any in particular, or dealer's choice?
[10:13][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The tree wobbled and a few ornaments fell off.
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Sort of. Generally on a Klingon vessel if the captain is seen as weak or ineffective as a matter of honor his second in command is expected to challenge him to a duel to the death.
[10:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li goes to pull Moo off the tree.
[10:14][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Yes, I know of them. I will.
[10:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Dealers choice. *he waited patiently
[10:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] *She wrapped her limbs around the trunk and yowled.
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "I have heard stories of Klingons eating babies, although entirely false propaganda. But, never them eating their captain.
[10:15][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Come on Moo, you can't be up there
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "You got it." *He whipped up a row of shotglasses, set up a little tray of salt and lime, and poured him some gold tequila.
[10:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor nodded.* "I'll leave you to rest for now, then. Happy holidays.
[10:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "You'd think that would be a really Klingon thing to do, though. Eating your old boss's heart is pretty much the ultimate power move.
[10:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Holidays?
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "yes, it does seem like something I would expect from the Klingons. Eating the flesh of onces enemies to gain power is a ritual found in a lot of cultures.
[10:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Li was finally able to dislodge her, a few more ornaments falling off and rolling around the floor.
[10:18][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li shakes his head.
[10:18][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Come on, let's go see Adrian
[10:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes. It's... Hm. The holidays for the winter solstice. Every race has different names and cultural contexts for them, but almost every race has a version. We decorate, like the Toady program had 
[10:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Moo] "Meow.
[10:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Started to do, give each other gifts, eat and drink... the usual.
[10:19][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes Moo over to Adrian's room.
[10:19][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*One by one istrin starting knocking them back
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Maybe they do it and just don't bother telling you about it. You're not in the inner circle." *He drank his wine.
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "that is not a completely unreasonable idea.
[10:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "...Seems like a very fleshbeing thing to do. Good bye.
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Slowly, Hank started to look a lot prettier to Istrin.
[10:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor laughed.* "I suppose it is. Good bye." *He disconnected for the time being, then sent the reports and the recordings to the rest of the team.
[10:22][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He was napping in his big boy race shuttle bed.
[10:22][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and sets Moo down next to the bed.
[10:23][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Moo hopped up and settled at the boy's feet, curling up into a sphere with little pointy ears.
[10:24][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles, giving Moo a soft pet before heading out.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor walked into the lounge, heading up to the counter.* "Evenin', Hank. Usual pitcher of beer, please.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Even after years of being allied with the Klingons there are still many aspects of thier culture that remain a mystery.,
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "One of your Klingons just walked in. Maybe ask him?
[10:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Have you always been handsome Hank
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "With the usual half a pint of whiskey mixed in?
[10:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "I was much uglier at Halloween." *he winked at Istrin.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "ask him what? if Klingons eat the hearts of their captains?
[10:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Sure. If he tries to eat yours, I'll be right here to wrestle him." *He winked at her.
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Usual pint of whiskey.
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "He may be a science officer, but he does have that Klingon size and strength. You would be at a disadvantage in a wrestling match.
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] *He handed T'Ghor the whiskeybeer pitcher.
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "What, you don't think I could take him?" *He pouted playfully.
[10:27][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I dont remember halloween actually.
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "I did my job, then.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "i don't know. I just don't want to see you get hurt.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Damn, Vaax. What's got you drinkin' like a hooker after meetin' her dad?
[10:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:What got you drinking like that
[10:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He chuckled.* "Taking on an opponent larger than yourself is part of the training. It's all about being flexible... which you already know I am." *He drank.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The job.
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Yes i was quite shocked at just how flexible you are.
[10:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He smirked.* "It's a gift.
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "I have been doing stretching exercises with Doctor Dalliance to try to get up to your level.
[10:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Me too. *he grabbed the salt and lime, prepping another shot
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I thought I noticed development there... here I just thought I was rubbing off on you more than I thought.
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're not doing anythin' now, though. We're on leave. I'm still in the lab.
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "You have had a strong influence on me. But, Vulcans are not known for being naturally limber. its going to take concentrated effort on my part to keep up.
[10:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:No you're not, you're at the bar
[10:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I, of course, will help do my part while you're still on the station..." *He rubbed her shoulder gently.
[10:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wait, am I in the lab too now
[10:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Laughs.* "True. But I just arrived... Anyways... If you need to talk, I can listen.
[10:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --smiles-- "i will hold you to that promise.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Blinks down at his PADD.
[10:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nadine said you're not a very good listener
[10:40][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li goes to see Jill.
[10:41][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Jill was not in their quarters.
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "So will I," *he scooted his chair up next to hers.
[10:41][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks up where Jill currently is.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Nadine cannot talk to anyone for longer than thirty seconds without trying to punch them.
[10:42][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads out for the former church.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Are you going to listen to her?
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As if to highlight this, Ettore was now throwing her drink at the Beryxian woman's face.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --forgetting she is supposed to be Vulcan she leans over and rests her head on Ryle's arm-
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He curled his arm around T'Pang, gently stroking her side.
[10:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Fight? *he turned around eagerly
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Looked at the Bursali and immediately got up to try and separate Nadine from her new friend.
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --seems lost in the moment-
[10:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Beryxian Woman] "You bitch! Do you have any idea how much this dress costs?
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "...That's a dress?
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "No, we don't use currency where I come from because we're not backwards ass cun---
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --is brought back to reality by the fighting women, but she thinks better of trying to intervene.-
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The two women devolved into a shouting match.
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He frowned at the scene.* "Some people just can't hold their liquor.
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Nadine... Separate yourself from the situation. She's not worth it. C'mon, you'll feel better once we play something on the holodeck...
[10:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Kick her ass! *he shouted before taking another shot
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "AY! Not helping!
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "So it seems. Eirene will take care of it. She will dispatch security if need be.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If you're gonna fight, do it naked!
[10:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "God! Fine. I need to calm down. Let's do that Axis-Invading-The-Balkans program, that always cheers me up.
[10:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "The one where the italians get their asses kicked? Sure." *He grinned and led the way.
[10:50][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Boooo! *he tipped over an empty shotglass* woops
[10:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "Not when I play it." *They departed.
[10:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm still not sure if Nadine is human or a deformed klingon...
[10:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Looks like that worked itself out.
[10:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *she popped up between T'Ghor and Istrin.* "Gentlemen.
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "that is good..now where were we?
[10:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Somewhere around here..." *He leaned in to gently kiss her neck.
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Orestes... Everything okay?
[10:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sunshine, rainbows and puppy dogs. Why wouldn't it be?
[10:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She took one of Istrin's shots and downed it.
[10:58][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin looked over, blinking profusely* Hey. That was mine
[10:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It was going bad.
[10:58][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:No it wasn't
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'Of course. Why not. Anyways, once you are sober, there's some updates on the project you may want to check out.
[10:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "There's always updates on the project." *She took another one of Istrin's shots.
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"These ones are big." *He gulped down more beer-whiskey from the pitcher.
[11:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hey those are mine
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Did you pay for them?
[11:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I would if handsome hank would let me
[11:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Handsome hank?
[11:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "His money's no good here.
[11:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yes it is, I promise it is. *he nodded
[11:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Are you flirting for free drinks, Vaax?
[11:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Tell me hes not handsome
[11:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "We should head back to the room so you can impress me more with how limber you are.
[11:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I dunno, as far as elves go I'm more of an Arwen fan.
[11:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"In general I am more of a tall muscular scary demon woman fan.
[11:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He smirked.* "Suppose I could demonstrate..." *He took her by the hand and lead her off to a TV-MA rating.
[11:04][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:And I bet you're real flexible too T'ghoe.
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She snickered.* "T'Ghoe.
[11:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He gave Orestes an eyeroll.* "I'm as pure as fresh snow..." *He then turned to Istrin.* "I'm decently flexible. Why?
[11:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Pure as yellow snow..." *She drank Istrin's tequila.
[11:05][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:That's not true. *he looked at Hank* Can I have another tray. Half of it's gone
[11:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] *He provided another tray, as well as a bowl of chips and salsa and glasses of wwater.
[11:07][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You don't seem flexible, I'm not buying it
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, thanks." *He grabbed a couple of chips and stuffed them in his mouth.
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You haven't seen him dashing across the room to catch a burrito before it falls off a science console.
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I broke a guy's neck with my hands bound last time we got captured." *He shrugged at Istrin.
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey! That was a double cheese delux, Orestes... It would be an affront to the ancestors if it went to waste.
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm not saying it wouldn't be... besides, it was a Koros burrito. I respect the respect.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hell yeah... Speaking of, he has a new recipe for them. Apparently using spicy yoghurt sauce.
[11:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Alert engineering that they're about to have plumbing issues.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Again.
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anyways... You and Hank, huh, Vaax? That's unexpected.
[11:13][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin stopped his snooping around and took another shot* Don't be ridiculous
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, as far as waifus go he'd be like... a five.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "I heard that.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Then step your game up, fivey." *She drank.
[11:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You one of them Eirene simps, Orestes?
[11:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You aren't
[11:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I mean, are you
[11:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Don't insult me. That's some next level mommy fetish bullshit. Nice older lady, lets you live inside her...
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'...I never actually gave thought to the fact we're constantly -inside- her.
[11:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You're welcome.
[11:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Does that explain why she's happy and kind all the time
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Thanks... Anyways, don't worry. Next time we get captured I'll try to bring you a chantry nun back.
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Nah, I'm good. Those are nice to look at from afar, but once they open their mouth you want to punch them in it.
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "And I dunno, it might.
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I dunno. Seems like it might be exhausting.
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, to us with our dumb meat brains giving us dumb meat emotions. Eirene's different.
[11:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fair enough. Anyways, Admiral Janeway when she was younger was an absolute baddie.
[11:20][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin took yet another shot, staring at them both as they shared another intelligent conversation
[11:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'd think you'd prefer the older version." *She stared back at Istrin.
[11:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nah. Voyager getting lost to shit era Admiral Janeway? Pff. You have to be dead and buried not to feel something.
[11:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She maintained eye contact with Istrin, unblinking.
[11:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Stop trying to break our alkiezoid.
[11:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm off the clock, you can't tell me what to do.
[11:25][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he zoned back in, realizing the stare off he was in* Oh
[11:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but we still need him. Captain will be mad, she just bought him.
[11:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Brought who
[11:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Just bought him? Shit... did I get temporally blasted again?
[11:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Are we dealing with slaves again? I heard that about humans long ago.
[11:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughed.* "I was kidding.
[11:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Mhm... sure. Besides, T'Pang's already got herself a chew toy.
[11:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yeah.. *he stared down at another shot tempting him
[11:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean... he's royalty. That's always kinda hot.
[11:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, but he's a cop. Gross.
[11:31][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded in agreement
[11:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "T'Pang may have taken 'fuck the police' a bit literally." *She drank.
[11:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he burped* T'ghoe I'm going to buy you a poster of him now
[11:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Which is perfect, I didn't know what else to get you for christmas either.
[11:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That might be hard to explain if T'pang ever goes to his cabin.
[11:34][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:He can just use the same excuse he told us duh
[11:34][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:She'll believe him
[11:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nah. I like female royalty.
[11:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I mean, the Beryxian queen's like... what, sixty?
[11:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Oh
[11:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She's very well kept.
[11:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "See? Get him one of those.
[11:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I think I'll get a few yeah
[11:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nice little collection to his spank bank..
[11:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "In times of war, the spank bank is one of the few, precious comforts we can afford." *She nodded solemnly.
[11:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. But for now, I'll leave the two of you be. I need some sleep.
[11:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "May your dreams be visited by many giant, angry warrior women." *She took a shot off Istrin's tray.
[11:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ancestors, send me two years back to the past... Thanks, Orestes. And good night.
[11:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Two million* years
[11:41][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Have fun
[11:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She eyed Istrin as T'Ghor left.
[11:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Soo... how long is this pity party set to last, now? Should I get pity balloons, maybe some pity streamers? Oh, and matching pity plates...
[11:47][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:What? I don't see a pity party
[11:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, so you're just sulking with a tray of tequila because you're happy and content with your life and how it's turned out?
[11:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nope! This is the pregame to a fun and distracting kind of night
[11:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Distractions are fun, no
[11:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Distractions are all we have until the grave," *she chuckled.* "Anything in particular?
[11:52][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he shook his head* Wherever the wind takes me
[11:53][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wanna join
[11:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That's respectable. And sure, I'll come. Not like I've got anything better to do.
[11:55][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Well yeah, you keep stealing my tequila shots
[11:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I am facilitating the moderaton of your alcoholic intake. Which, by the way, you are welcome.
[11:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You're too young to be my mom
[11:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "As far as you know. Temporal anomalies are a bitch.
[11:59][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Probably twice my age.. *he eyed another tequila shot and finished it
[11:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Maybe. Or maybe I haven't even been born yet. That's always a trip.	
[12:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I could find out right now.. *he thought on it* But I don't want a headache this early in the night.
[12:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Wise choice. I don't recommend reading my mind anyway, the writer's crazy." *She chomped on a chip with some salsa.
[12:07][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Mhmm, yep. Figured. *he grabbed another shot* You're not doing a good job of moderating
[12:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, if you insist." *She grabbed the shot out of his hand and downed it.
[12:09][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:...Do you not have any manners or something? That one was mine I'll have you know
[12:10][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he grabbed another one and went to down it in a hurry
[12:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Manners are a social construct, and most of those can be ignored for the sake of efficiency.
[12:13][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hank, can you bring some shots out, She finished all of mine again
[12:13][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:She's not even saying thank you
[12:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] *He supplied him with another tray.* "That is unfortunate.
[12:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She shrugged.* "Thanks for getting the tray that I could've just gotten myself for free.
[12:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You're welcome Orests
[12:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:See that wasn't hard
[12:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You say that, but you're not the one dying inside." *She winked.
[12:21][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he downed half a shot, spilling the rest as a reslt of him coughing
[12:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh... that's just awful," *she shook her head in disappointment at his spill.
[12:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "If you puke at the first location, that's bad luck for the whole night.
[12:23][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he stood there, battling until the magic word was heard* Excuse me. *he darted out
[12:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She laughed uproariously as he made the run of shame.
[12:27][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Some time later he returned* I had to pull a tactical maneuver
[12:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Is that what you call puking up your last four shots?
[12:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:It's a very effective way to continue drinking I'll have you know
[12:31][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he grabbed another shot off the tray and raised it to her* See
[12:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "How bacchian of you. The drunks of ancient times would be proud.
[12:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:+
[12:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I don't even know what word you just used
[12:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:And I don't care
[12:36][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:But cheers! *down it went
[12:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I didn't expect you to," *she ate another chip.* "But! Like I said, puking at the first location is bad luck. You'll have to finish this journey without me.
[12:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:That's fine. More for me
[12:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Mm. Hank, after this tray, cut him off.
[12:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "Understood.
[12:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hank no
[12:40][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I thought we were homies
[12:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Hank the Elf] "My scans indicate your blood alcohol content is nearing the limit recommended by Citadel medical.
[12:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Better luck at the Beryxian club, they don't scan you." *She winked.
[12:41][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he clicked his tongue* I was going there anyways
[12:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Good luck finding it." *She laughed and pushed off from the bar.
[12:43][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I'll make it, eventually. Just you watch
[12:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sure you will... Try not to puke in anyone's piercings while you're there." *She turned to depart.
[12:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin did not manage to make it to the beryxian club that night...*
