[9:08][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The crowd cheered that it was over.
[9:08][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Enjoying your Samhain
[9:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Jagoda] *He beamed brightly in his blissful ignorance.
[9:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods* "It has been a fun diversion from our regular duties, but I admit I am anxious to get back behind the helm.
[9:10][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Get used to that feeling son, you'll feel at peace once you don't fly as often anymore

[9:13][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Leans against the bar and nods unsure of what to say.
[9:13][DOIC6]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Something thudded against Sevuk's door.
[9:14][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia enters the lounge and makes a beeline for the bar, eyes staring listlessly straight ahead. "A small sip of orange juice please, Hank.
[9:14][DOIC6]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Sevuk] Who is it
[9:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena gives zhal a subtle smile
[9:14][DOIC6]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*There was no response.
[9:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The humans have a saying, drink and be merry for tommorrow we die.
[9:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'Umans 'ave a lot of sayings, not all of zem good.

[9:15][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Alex sipped again and nodded at Val
[9:16][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Hm.. Hank, Tequila straight. Please.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"No most of them are muttered after a lot of drink
[9:16][DOIC6]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*There was a bit of smashed egg shell and yolk on the ground.

[9:17][DOIC6]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Sevuk arches an eyebrow, then closes the door.
[9:17][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Any time Val
[9:18][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--Arin sips her drink as she studies the lounge crowd-
[9:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I needed a night in ze 'olodeck for ages. Can't really do zat at work.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she sips her drink and looks at dacia a moment
[9:19][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:When the shot glass of orange liquid is placed in front of her, she holds it up to her face without drinking. "Did you take Cynna to see the sound of music?
[9:19][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*As hank serves Zhal his shot the trill motions for the holo to leave the bottle. The Trill seems to space out for a moment as he looks at the drink.
[9:19][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--picks up her PADD and taps something into it.-
[9:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"That is a nice bit of human theatre.
[9:21][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Not yet, no.
[9:21][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Given the season, could take her to see Wicked." *Takes the shot and downs it.
[9:22][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I see. I was merely curious what the two of you thought of it." A slight pause. "Curiosity killed the cat. A human saying that I have often thought to promote a counter productive attitude.
[9:23][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Wicked? Do I look like a stupid country girl?
[9:23][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Honestly? *jokingly asked Val
[9:23][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Laughed at that.
[9:24][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Very funny.
[9:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Death's only temporary if you have a good doctor.
[9:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Or memory backup.
[9:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Unless you disentigrate.
[9:26][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"That is a pleasent thought Doc.
[9:28][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. We always go for disintegration if we want full effect.
[9:28][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"A pity we do not have enough good doctors to save everyone lost to this war.
[9:29][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"But we do 'ave enough good shooters to take down ten of zeirs for every one of ours.
[9:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Unfortunately we aren't gods.
[9:30][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks down the bar. A little surprised the skipper isnt here. Probably still trying to recover from the wings...
[9:31][DOIC6]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*There was another thud against Sevuk's door.
[9:33][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Has one else hand an encounter with Snoopy?
[9:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Snoopy?
[9:33][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Not I. I have only heard rumors of his mischief.
[9:34][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Talyse appeared in the lounge, approaching the counter.* "Hank. I require mead.
[9:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zere was a 'olographic snoopy around. Kids loved 'im.
[9:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"What is a snoopy?
[9:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Old cartoon character from Earzh. A dog.
[9:34][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"He bit Ezri, wasnt sure if he was up to any other pranks.
[9:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Interesting. I assuming Ezri was fine?
[9:35][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Black and white hound, made strange noises?" *She looked at Val.
[9:35][DOIC6]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Sevuk just ignores this one.
[9:35][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods.* "If a bit annoyed, but pretty sure she got over it when she went to the club.
[9:36][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Accoring to rumor, Snoopy is under the impression that he is behind enemy lines and that Erzi is part of a human faction of fascists called Nazis
[9:36][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow, looking up at Zhal-
[9:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Taly.
[9:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"...Snoopy does not fight nazis.
[9:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri went to a cluub
[9:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'E is a world war one pilot.
[9:37][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"...I see. Holographic nature explains its evasion." *She tapped her tattooed chin.
[9:37][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Rumors are rarely reliable.
[9:37][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*shook his head after he zoned out some, he then took another sip of his drink
[9:37][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"I saw her, V'Tira, and Cathy there. She danced with a good looking Beryxian.
[9:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Good for her.
[9:38][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Rubs her temple and sends a text off.
[9:39][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods in agreement.* I left shortly after I saw them take to the dance floor, I just hope she had a good time.
[9:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I am more worried about ze beryxian.
[9:40][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--picks up her PADD and takes some notes.-
[9:41][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Taly accepted her mead.* "Beryxians are pacifistic and of little threat.
[9:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Unless you have a marriag.e
[9:41][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She considered this.* "Fair point.
[9:41][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckles.* "Wait... what do you mean?
[9:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"There is no such thing as an exclusive beryxian relationship.
[9:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed.
[9:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Seems to relax a bit.
[9:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Ah.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Similiar to Denobulans in that way.
[9:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zey are also direct... and knowing Ezri, if 'e tried somezhing, she would probably kick 'im in ze nezher regions 'ard enough for zem to pop.
[9:43][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"As if her right." *She nodded.
[9:43][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*as is )
[9:43][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Seemed to cringe at that.* "Yikes.
[9:43][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*sipped, not paying attention
[9:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*sipped her drink
[9:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed." *Nods to Taly.
[9:45][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--sips her drink-
[9:45][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"However, from understandings of culture, consent is integral to them. While I cannot speak to individual mindset, fears are unnecessary.
[9:46][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Watches as everyone sips their drinks and then pours himself another shot of tequila.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena takes a call
[9:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*then goes off at a quicker pace
[9:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Non... but Ezri is a bit... innocent to zis type of zhing. 'Er intentions could be misread.
[9:47][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*notices the tequila* If I were you, ease on the tequila. Aim for something else
[9:47][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*sips
[9:48][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She shrugged.* "And holodeck panel could come loose and crush her." *She drank her mead.
[9:49][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes the shot glass in his had then looks to Alex.* "Liquid courage for the club later.
[9:50][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Tequila only leeds to bad things. Change it up. Something hard, but still able to help you remember when you made an oopsie. Tequila is always bad for the long road
[9:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Enters the bar
[9:50][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Tequila is not for remembering night," *she agreed.
[9:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *glances at Arin and smiles greeting her
[9:51][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--looks up from her drink and smiles at Inara.-
[9:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:Place taken

[9:53][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes his shot of tequila and then flips the shot glass upside down and lets hank take the bottle back.
[9:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *smiles and sips her drink
[9:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Curious to see you so 'ostile to a drink, Alex... 
[9:55][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Thattaboy. *sipped and then motioned to hank for a refill* Only hostile to tequila
[9:55][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Stuff should be illegal instead of romulan ale
[9:56][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Tequila
[9:56][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I quite like it
[9:56][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:She finally lifts the orange juice and drinks it. "A small sip of Tequila please, Hank.
[9:57][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"A 'azy memory from teenage years. Not truly somezhing I enjoy.
[9:57][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*received his refill and chose to ignore Inara as he sipped again
[9:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I like betazoid rum more
[9:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Especially the chocolate rum
[9:58][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I have had splendid margaritas, but on its own I am ambivalent.
[9:58][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Chocolate rum? Behave Inara
[9:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] No
[9:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I am off duty
[9:58][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She seemed to perk up at 'chocolate rum.'
[9:59][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"With what would you blend such spirits?
[9:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *she finished her pink drink* Hank 9 rings Rum

[10:00][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia stands at the bar dressed in a long, flowing 'Princess' dress. White in color though to those able to see ultraviolet, it is embroidered in intricate decorative patterns
[10:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she waits till everyone has it and makes sure one is sent over to Arin
[10:00][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Talyse picked up the glass and sniffed the liquid inside.
[10:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] May the moons shine ever on your night
[10:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she toasted
[10:01][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:The shot of tequila is set before her and she holds it up to her nose and stares straight ahead. "It has an ackward scent to it.
[10:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then sipped her chocoalte rum
[10:02][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*waited till everyone had a glass* Recently had chocolate beer, shouldn't be worse. *sipped the rum when able

[10:03][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Smells the rum and makes a face, before taking a sip.
[10:03][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"It is... interesting. Not nearly as bad as I expected, considering I dislike rum.
[10:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Well try pairing it with grapes
[10:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Sort of an inverse wine tasting
[10:04][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She took a moment to mull on it after she swallowed.
[10:04][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I will have more," *she declared.
[10:05][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*His combadge chirps and he steps away from the bar.

[10:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] You enjoy it Talyse
[10:09][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I said I would have more, no?" *She smirked.
[10:10][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Finally, she takes a small sip of the tequelia and sets the glass back down on the bar. "I am finished with this one, thank you Hank.
[10:10][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *looks at Dacia a moment* Analyzing flavors?
[10:11][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes. Tequila is a dull, ackward little drink. I see little point in trying it a second time.
[10:11][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Because it tastes better after first drink," *she chuckled.
[10:11][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*downs his original drink
[10:11][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:And with a lemon and salt

[10:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed, I am just telling you not to peer pressure.
[10:14][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:But all the cool kids do it? * he said jokingly
[10:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Now, now. Do you not know smokey sticks are bad for you?
[10:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] They are
[10:15][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Perhaps I will give it another chance at a later time, with the prescribed additions." Her head turns in Alex's direction and she makes a finger gun gesture. "Like finger guns. I am told that the
[10:15][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:are very cool.
[10:16][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*puts a smokey stick between his lips and leave while giving Val the bird

[10:18][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She just took another drink of her choccy rum.
[10:19][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Plans for leave? Apart from getting drunk off of liquor-infused candies?
[10:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Floating around and protecting from evil spirits
[10:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I am a witch after all

[10:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Seen one pair of golden tits, you've seen zem all.
[10:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] But not the artwork
[10:35][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"It's alright, actually I'm pretty busy here. They have a backlog, always such interesting things to go through in the communications
[10:35][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Another Hank. *finishes his glass
[10:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] I bet. With a war on
[10:35][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*she turns and gives Ezri and unannounced hug
[10:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] Ms tegan *She smiles
[10:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Hey Shay." --awkwardly returns the hug-
[10:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *closes her eyes a moment
[10:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Hey doc.
[10:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *then opens them
[10:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Another Rum please hank
[10:37][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Backing away, suddenly understanding the awkwarndness as her face leaves Ezri's chest
[10:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] --straightens out her uniform.--
[10:38][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] had any issues with snoop dogs Ezri
[10:38][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"So... what's is the newest dirt?
[10:38][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Her head snaps in Shay's direction, lifeless eyes looking past or through rather than at. "An irish Yeoman. Outdated uniform. Did you dress as one of Maggie Peeble'a ancestors for Halloween?
[10:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] *perhaps looks on this interaction with a clinical eye
[10:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Jumja cola Hnak..
[10:40][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Soorree, actually it's an Enterprise Yeoman costume, but I'm Irish myself.
[10:40][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*listened closely
[10:41][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Offering a hand in introduction" "Shay, when on duty, Lt Daly, but glad to meet you.
[10:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] --drinks her soda-
[10:42][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"No apology is necessary. I waqs merely curiously." Dacia accepts the hand and gives it a single firm shake. "Ensign Dacia of the Adagio. I am happy to meet you." She replies blandly
[10:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] --leans over and looks curiously at Dacia-
[10:43][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Any new adventures to share, new stars ignited, or extinguished Ezri?
[10:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "I am going to be testing my prototype for my antigrav broomstick for my witch costume.
[10:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *snickers
[10:45][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Measured laugh* "Oh be careful... how are you stabilizing?
[10:45][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:In response to the stare, Dacia adjusts her head to return the look. "Hello, again Ezri. I am glad to see you are well and have all of your limbs intact.
[10:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[
[10:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "it was not easy balancing the antigrav gnerators in such a small space...so stability is an issue..
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "But, it is more for show than a practical means of transportation.
[10:50][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Have you thought about installing units in the heels of your boots to use for stabilizers?
[10:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] --thinks a minute-- "that could work.
[10:52][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"You would just need to alter your direction with how you hold your feet. Would be an interesting piloting experience.
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "yeah, that is a great idea.
[10:54][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Another small sip of orange juice please, Hank.
[10:54][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay takes a sip of her thick dark beer and puts on a pensive look* "Might be fun... I bet Bore could help you with the physical application, maybe.
[10:56][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Other option, just do it as a holographic construct, and let Eirene provide safety and stability functions for you.
[10:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Eirene will provide safety and stability either way. She is very protective.
[10:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "initial simulations on the holodeck went very well.
[10:59][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"'Ank, can I get a bowl of crunchies? One of the salty ones, pretzels maybe?" *she smiles at him before turning back to Ezri
[11:00][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Forgive me for intruding on your conversation. But while it's true that Eirene is very protective, a holograhic construct such as what Lt. Daly suggests would be much more reliable tha
[11:01][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*looking down the bar she noticed how many people left, she sighs, and mocks smelling her arm pit
[11:01][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:an intervention should something go wrong with your device.
[11:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i thought about that, but I had some spare micro antigrav lifters laying around.
[11:02][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Smiling at Ezri* "And you thought witch? I would have gone with a Guru costume, you know, where you levitate while meditating.
[11:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i had already decided to go as a witch this year, I just thought a flying broom would complete the look.
[11:05][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Are you giong to go all out with the ugly face make up and green, or just dress up and keep your pretty features intact?
[11:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i tried the make-up thing, but that was too scary.
[11:07][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Yeah, that's what Damian said last year when I dressed up as an Orion dancer, too scary and on the nose.
[11:09][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"How odd. Typically, most people react favorably to the sight of an Orion dancer.
[11:09][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"yes, but we had broken up only a few months earlier.
[11:12][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"And that impacted his view of their species?
[11:12][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay nibbles on a pretzel, and sips her beer, looking about the lounge
[11:12][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Nope.. turned him on, caused him to be scary uncomfortable, in his pants.
[11:14][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I see." Her head snaps to Shay once more. "Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.
[11:15][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay laughs* "No worries. I did it to him on purpose. We only broke up because when we went to Risa for a romantic get away on leave, all he wanted to do was watch baseball or play baseball.
[11:15][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*noticing her body language* "Ezri, I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable.
[11:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "its okay Shay, I am used to feeling uncomfortable.
[11:17][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I understand perfectly. You got revenge on him for neglecting your needs by inspiring needs he could no longer get from you.
[11:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "I should get going though, mit was good seeing you
[11:18][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I only very recently began to explore what it means to be in a romantic relationship with someone else. I will be certain to find out what duties and responsibilities come with that.
[11:18][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Precisely... then I had Eirene provide me a holographic guy to leave the party with, so he wouldn't see me leave alone.
[11:18][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I miss you Ezri... don't be afraid to send me a call.
[11:20][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Eirene is very charitable. I have never once witnessed her neglect to offer to assist someone.
[11:20][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Duties and responsibilities... interesting way to think of it... *she sips her beer
[11:21][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"You have a different view? Based on my observations of different couples, I have concluded that it takes a degree of effort from both parties to make it work.
[11:22][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I admit, Damian is a good guy. He was very much about sex, until he suddenly wasn't. I did not understand the very quick alteration of the relationship. I tried to compensate, but he did not giv
[11:23][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:me any corrective data to work with. I researched, and in such situations, ending a relationship is what usually happens, and when it does not one both are very unhappy for a long time.
[11:23][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I did not want him to be unhappy. I never wanted anything but for him to be happy.
[11:24][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"We are friends again, but it took a year to make that happen. I did not intend to destroy our friendship when I suggested we split up. He just assumed as much.
[11:25][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Interesting. Lt. Daly, did Damian make you happy?
[11:27][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*looking thoughtful* "He is my friend, I am happy he is alive. I found it to be a very pleasent experience to experiment with him sexually, and found it to be satisfying to provide for his needs. 
[11:28][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Knowing you are fulfilling your purpose emotionally and physically for someone you care for, is that not what would make anyone happy?
[11:30][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I honestly do not know. I am not anyone. I am only me." There is a slight pause. "I believe I have identified a flaw in your throught process, would you like me to share it with you?
[11:31][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"We are having a conversation, if you have something to say I will not stop you.
[11:32][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia stares at Shay with dead unbliking eyes. Her body motionless save for her mouth while she speaks. It's a bland, toneless voice that offers nothing to empathize with. Nothing but words
[11:34][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"You said that you weren't given the corrective data to make the proper adjustments to his change in behavior. However, the fact that he wished to spend his time playing sports. His interests are i
[11:35][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:themselves bits of data. Sports are often games one plays with other people, had you adapted to share his interests you might have adverted the break up.
[11:37][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I tried, but it seemed his interests had turned to the sport only. He cancelled all of our plans in favor of the sport, without consultation. I tried to involve myself to learn.
[11:38][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"If that is the case, then you are not the one at fault. Based on observation, it requires both parties to put effort into making a relationship work, and while you did your part he did not do his.
[11:42][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Yes, that is what my researched showed, which is why I suggested we end our relationship. I did not intend for that to be accepted and then him to avoid me at every possible turn for a year. My 
[11:43][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:researsh showed that the man should then try to get the woman back through making effort to communicate better, and grand gestures. I was looking forward to this, but he just did not.
[11:43][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Lt. Daly. What part of Ireland do you originate from?
[11:44][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"He acted very uncomfortable with me, and refused to communicate, until recently when I forced the issues.... What part? My parents have their home in New Castle, on the north eastern coast.
[11:46][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I see. Nevermind." Dacia reaches out to take the glass of orange juice on the bar and hold it up to her face without drinking while she talks.
[11:46][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Have you been in any other relationships since then?
[11:47][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Niaev is my friend, Doctor T'lena. If you mean romantic relationships, no.
[11:49][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Niaev suggested that perhaps I should open myself to such things, which is how I started dating Damian. That was a couple of years ago, at the Halloween party actually.
[11:50][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I did mean romantic relatinships. If I may make a recomendation, perhaps you might try again with someone else. You may yield a better result.
[11:51][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I might, I just have not because that was a risk to date someone on the same ship I was on. I recently transferred to Citadel Operations, so that opens up some possibilities.
[11:51][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I think I did learn what Niaev intended though. I was having a very difficult time with some things, and now I do not.
[11:52][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"If it is not too personal of a question, may I ask what things you were having a difficult time with?
[11:54][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"To be blunt, sexual stimulation. I can very clearly sense when someone is sexually aroused, and it signaled to me a desire to fulfil the needs of that person, which is pleasent for everyone of 
[11:55][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:course. But I had never done that, and was having trouble with the concept of actually doing so. I suppose you would call it a fear. I had to get past that, now I do not find such anxieties becaus
[11:55][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:I have experienced it.
[11:56][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I see. That is not something I have experimented with yet. Unlike most organic beings, I do not experience likes, dislikes or needs until after I have tried something. The surrounding circumstance
[11:56][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Perhaps I should define desire... it created a physical reaction within my body in response, matching and compatable with the arrousal detected in the other.
[11:58][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Between you and me, it isn't that I like or dislike anything. But there is a sense of achievement and satisfaction in providing release for another. How is not important, as long as it is what the
[11:58][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:needed.
[11:58][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:often dictate whether or not an experience is pleasurable or not. Even my sense of taste is affected by outside circumstances.
[11:59][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Between you and me? Am I to take that to mean that you would like to keep it a secret?
[11:59][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Niaev says that feeling of satisfaction is a very feminine thing to feel, but she says I need to learn how to discover my own phsycial needs.
[12:00][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Yes? I prefer not to have my words shared with another wehn they are personal.
[12:00][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I cannot garuntee that we were not overheard, however I will respect your wishes and not repeat this conversation with anyone.
[12:01][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Answering a chirp, she gets out her PADD* "oh, I'm sorry, I have to go. Nice to meet you." *she finishes her small beer* "Thank you Hank." *she sets her cup down and makes her way out
