Lt. JG Cerred King 15-Oct-21 11:16 PM

*Eventually Cerred made his way back over to the dessert table, examining the various sweets quietly as he picked up a few here and there.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Oct-21 11:17 PM

"Yeah, I know I need to get out more but I think if you heard why I think you'd get it."

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 15-Oct-21 11:17 PM

"I am aware, um Do you wish for my tricorder?" *She asked eyeing his hesitancy towards the drink* "I believe its in one of these Pockets."

Ensign Soval McFadden 15-Oct-21 11:17 PM

“Oh why’s that miss Chaffee.” *he inquired.*

Deleted User 15-Oct-21 11:18 PM

*Ell made her way back into the great hall, wearing her black dress and caught sight of Altan. She made her way over to him and smiled.* "Hello sir, it's nice to see you again." (edited)

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 15-Oct-21 11:22 PM

"That would be appreciated, thank you. Though, you didn't answer my question, unless you are not comfortable saying it?" *He said, with a hint of confusion. He had asked what T'Ara had in mind to see, but he won't push if she doesn't wish to answer.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Oct-21 11:46 PM

"So my last boyfriend, now my ex was former ensign Monroe... After he... did what he did, and his demotion, I just, well, I ghosted him. I think it was mean, but I didn't know what to do, I was ashamed to be with him after his actions, and with his demotion, it felt especially improper to date him."

Ensign Soval McFadden 15-Oct-21 11:48 PM

“Ohh I actually didn’t know mr monroe but iv herd some gossip about it. And it’s technically against regulations to date a subordinate that’s not commissioned.”

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Oct-21 11:53 PM

"Oh totally, I mean also, I would be embarrassed, personally."

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 15-Oct-21 11:54 PM

"Um no sorry,I just wish to see the medical facilities on planet." *She explained as she handed the intel officer her tricorder*"Though the floating gardens look intriguing as well." (edited)

Ensign Soval McFadden 15-Oct-21 11:56 PM

“So what else have you been doing ?.” *he asked wondering what a quartermaster does.* “does it ever get boring.”

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 12:06 AM

"Thank you." *He said, taking the trocorder as he scans the drink. Results come back nothing suspicious, just seems to be a nice drink made out of some squeezed fruit probably.* *He handed it back to her, and took a drink as he says* "So T'Ara, tell me about yourself, if you do not mind? You are unique for a Vulcan, and do I mean that in a good way." *He had more of a relaxed smile now, enjoying the time to slightly wind down.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 16-Oct-21 12:18 AM

“Ell, it is a pleasure to see you; and Altan, while off duty, will suffice.” *He offered her a small, but genuine smile.* “I must say, black looks good on you, I can see why you wished to change departments.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 16-Oct-21 12:18 AM

*T'Pel entered, alone. Sa'val was still trying to help sort out the charlie Foxtrot on the ship. Whatever Charlie Foxtrot meant. It was a mess, that was for sure.* *But she could not help there. So, she did the only thing she knew. Research the new universe.* *So she moved around quietly.*

Ensign Soval McFadden 16-Oct-21 12:21 AM

*Catching a glimpse of the new arrival he sorta got nervous.*

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 16-Oct-21 12:23 AM

"I like to thank thats because a I am half bajoran,and spent half my childhood on bajor." She explained grabbing a glass of some kind of wine "Though it could just as easily be due to distancing myself from my Vulcan heritage." (edited)

[I] Lt Roderic Altan

“Ell, it is a pleasure to see you; and Altan, while off duty, will suffice.” *He offered her a small, but genuine smile.* “I must say, black looks good on you, I can see why you wished to change departments.”

*Ell smiled and blushed a little, looking down at her dress.* "Well thank you, sir-uh, Altan. It is one of my favorite colors to wear. You don't look so bad yourself."

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 12:31 AM

*A look of fascination flashes over his face, as he asks* "You have distanced yourself from your Vulcan side? That *is* interesting. Well, other than what I already know, like your fascination with the fantasy genre, do you have any hobbies?" *He took the cup holding the purple drink into his hands, slightly swirling the cup so the liquid spins inside.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 16-Oct-21 12:32 AM

“Thank you.” “It is quite incredible is it not? This hallway, this…world. It appears quite easy to get lost in its complexity.” “Have you seen the Dance Hall? It is like standing in the milky way herself.”

Deleted User 16-Oct-21 12:33 AM

"It certainly is like a dream. A painting even." *She looked back up at him.* "I had no idea there was a dance hall, actually. I'm afraid I haven't done much exploring." (edited)

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 16-Oct-21 12:40 AM

"I do my Necessary meditations,but other then that i do feel majority bajoran.Maybe I would be a better suited Vulcan if i didnt find the planet personally uninhabitable,and my Vulcan family wasnt so uptight.." *She explained sipping on the wine.*

Councilman Erain

“Sir Reyes, what is your duty on such a fine sky ship?”

Crewman Rick Reyes 16-Oct-21 12:43 AM

"I'm.. just a crewman.. there's hardly anything good that I do. I do weapon inspection and hub terminal duties and I haven't even gotten my training started." ( @Lt. Girak Mayott

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 12:49 AM

*He stayed silent for a second, as he took another drink. He simply says* "Well, Vulcans can sometimes be like that. Have to keep the logic to keep them going. Was joining Starfleet your primary goal, or did you wish for something else?"

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 16-Oct-21 12:57 AM

“A painting is an apt way to describe just how idealistic this world is. Like paradise itself was lifted from the canvas.” “Yes, the dancehall has no floor that can be seen, only felt. When you look down…...” *He paused a beat before continuing.* “It is as if you would simply fall into infinity.” *He chuckled.* “Imagine seeing that but being blind drunk. I would have fallen over stumbling backward.”

[I] Lt Roderic Altan

"My family is a bit more stiff then most.Well I chose Starfleet mainly do to familial history mainly,and yourself?" (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 07:35 AM

*Vale stood observing the Rick conversation and watched her Vine utterly ignore table manners. Her glass was still almost full. This was work so she’d drink only as much as needed for politeness then stick to water. As always T’pel looked amazing and T’pel might even sense the relief Vale felt to see her well. And then the spike in that feeling she’d been hiding far longer than the existential fear from being in the fog. That one had dissipated but the one from her condition hadn’t. Altan walked in. She would be loyal to Jane as long as there was a chance she could come home to her wife. But Altan made it hard.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 16-Oct-21 08:21 AM

“It didn’t really get boring for a few weeks because I was so deathly embarrassed, and so I was anxious all the time about that.”

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 08:37 AM

@Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara - jump "It was because I wished to join and be apart of something bigger. My choice was between Starfleet or the Republic, and since I'm here talking to you right now you know what choice I made." *He chuckles, as he takes and eats some of the food. He stays silent for a second, as his eyes look around the hall.* *Out in the corner, there seemed to be a door labeled "dance floor". The idea perked his interest, and while he finished a bite, he turned to T'Ara and asks* "T'Ara, do you dance by any means?"

Councilman Erain BOT 16-Oct-21 11:42 AM

@Crewman Rick Reyes - jump *His eyebrows raise slightly at the comment.* “Taking care of ship’s weapons is a very important job. No job is small on a sky ship.”

Crewman Rick Reyes 16-Oct-21 12:25 PM

"Thats true.."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 16-Oct-21 12:26 PM

“I do too, it’s kind of fun dressing up all fancy, I love this dress, I haven’t worn this in ages.”

Ensign Soval McFadden 16-Oct-21 12:37 PM

“You look nice this evening. It’s been along time since Iv worn something other then a uniform.”

Crewman Rick Reyes

"Thats true.."

Crewman Rick Reyes 16-Oct-21 03:17 PM

"So.. your a councilman?" *He asked.* @Lt. Girak Mayott (edited)

*She smiled, blushing at his comment.* "Thank you, you look pretty good yourself."

Ensign Soval McFadden 16-Oct-21 03:58 PM

“Well thank you miss Chaffee. I don’t normally dress up like this I normally divert to dress blues.”

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 16-Oct-21 04:38 PM

*A slight green tint goes over the hybrids cheeks,as she sets down her wine.* "Very little,but enough.Why do you ask?" *She asked smirking slightly.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 16-Oct-21 04:42 PM

“It would be my pleasure Ensign.” *With that, Altan held out his right arm for her to take, and once she did, he would begin escorting her to the dance hall.*

Deleted User 16-Oct-21 04:43 PM

*She took his arm, fighting back a blush, and followed him.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 16-Oct-21 04:48 PM

"Dressing up is fun, I should do it more often. Have you had anything to eat yet?"

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 04:50 PM

@Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara - jump "I ask because there is something that might be of interest to see, that is if you're willing. There seems to be a room farther down there saying something along the lines of a "dance hall". I'd be delighted if you could accompany me to see it." *His eyes looked away from the direction of what he was talking about, as his eyes settled on T'Ara, waiting for how she may answer.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 05:06 PM

*Vale watched poor Rick do an interesting job but he was doing well and they could learn about human culture. Starfleet had a lot of them and she was only a betazoid.*

Counselor Muroc BOT 16-Oct-21 05:10 PM

*Muroc arrived at some point, dressed in a dark purple and black suit. The last event he felt a little out of place in his robes, but it was also good to try different things. He found the nearest punch bowl and got himself a cup and stood to watch everyone mingle.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee

"Dressing up is fun, I should do it more often. Have you had anything to eat yet?"

*Cerred had taken to wandering again to examine more of the art while he sipped a glass of wine.*

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 16-Oct-21 05:36 PM

*Pax stepped through and stopped, looking around in awe. The hall was stunning, never in all of the symbiont’s memories had she ever seen anything quite like it.* “I don’t even have a snarky remark or a quip, this place has left me almost speechless Ezarah, look at it all,” *She said quietly, still drinking in the view of the hall.*

Councilman Erain BOT 16-Oct-21 06:09 PM

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 16-Oct-21 07:10 PM

"Um,sure why not." *She said looking down a smirk still on her face, As she reaches her hand out making sure her wards are up.*

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak BOT 16-Oct-21 07:21 PM

*An eyebrow raises at the outstretched hand, a smile appearing on his face again as he says* "A welcome surprise." *He stands up, and outstretched his hand to take hers. He gently pulled her up from the chair as well, and begins to walk with her towards the the room labeled "#dance-floor".*

Lt. JG Cerred King

*Cerred had taken to wandering again to examine more of the art while he sipped a glass of wine.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 07:34 PM

*Nim had found her own glass of wine, and while there was a distinct possibility of her paying dearly for it later she wasn’t going to pass the opportunity to taste alien wine.* “Cerred! There you are! Are you enjoying yourself so far?”

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 07:42 PM

*Cerred looked over when he saw the switch of Nims large dress in the corner of his eye, distracting him from the painting he'd been looking at.* "Nim! I'm having a great time, yeah! The foods been amazing, so has the drinks! I never thought I'd see anything like it for real! How about you? And the wine has an interesting flavour but I kinda like it."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 07:44 PM

“I found the wine, it’s lovely. The food is delicious, there’s this tasty orange soup. I think it’s vegetarian? Couldn’t tell you with any certainty so don’t dive in on my word,” *She took another sip of wine.* “The hall is stunning from an architectural standpoint, I’m really quite impressed,”

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 07:49 PM

"I wasn't sure either so I stayed away from it. And it is, the wine has this nice smoky flavour to it. There was something that....smelled like chicken at least and Kabiel seemed to like it."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 07:53 PM

*Vale looked around and found Nim standing there in a dress that was like something her mother would put her sister in. Only certain families did something quite like that level of huge dress and sparkles. Though it was amusing to listen to Rick Vale had to say something. Vale walked over to Cerred ands Nim and smiled.* “Ah Lieutenant King, Dr Drex… I love the dress.”

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:00 PM

“Thank you Vale, I love your outfit too! You look beautiful!” *She said, beaming at the other betazoid.* “It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten invited to a party like this, with diplomacy and politics. It almost feels like home,” *She laughed.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:01 PM

“Yes… Now I recognise the name. The family name.” *Vale said smiling then sipped the drink oh damn that thing needed watering down.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:05 PM

*Nim felt her face heat up as she blushed fiercely.* “Yes, ah my mother’s family is part of the third house of Betazed. Well so am I, but I don’t really get involved in politics as a rule. I’m a little young for that I think,” *She said, laughing awkwardly.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 08:09 PM

*Cerred looked over and smiled, waving at Vale. Kabiel waved a leaf as well from the little plate they were on, trying to wrestle with a piece of garnish. Cerred blinked and sipped his wine, eyebrow raising at the whole family name thing.* "Is a surname really that important on Betazed?"

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:12 PM

“Well…some surnames have ties to the noble houses. I’m from the third house of betazed, which is quite powerful and politically important. I’m not trying to brag here, I’m simply stating facts. So the surname Drex is associated with that house, and I’m rambling so I’m just going to drink my wine now,” *She said, turning even more red as she sipped her wine.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:13 PM

“Any idea of your surname and titles Cerred?”

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 08:18 PM

"Im only guessing but....when I meditated last, I ran into the betazoid part of myself. They said the last name was Kohlri? And I think he went on some long list of like...." *He paused to think while he sipped his wine.* "He said it was like 'Guardian of the Sacred Fields, Keeper of the Nine Trees, Overseer of the Holy Valleys of Betazed' or something like that?"

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:23 PM

“Kohlri? Oh that’s a noble name as well, it’s part of one of the minor houses. I can’t remember which at the moment, but they were known for having bountiful lands. At one point in Betazeds past they were feeding numerous towns with their harvests,” *She said, frowning in thought.* “There’s a rich history in those titles,”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:26 PM

*Vale shrugged.* “Your family picked berries. They might have had some farm birds that look like chickens with iridescent feathers but mostly it’s all about picking berries off the trees.”

Crewman Rick Reyes 16-Oct-21 08:31 PM

"Oh, so... who's the head honcho? Or do you guys have a planetary high council of some kind?" He asked. ( @Lt. Girak Mayott )

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 08:34 PM

"So....farming nobility. Fancy." *He shrugged and sipped his wine again. It was nice to know but he still didn't care much,* "Doesnt matter anyway. Pretty sure my mother doesn't want anything to do with me anyway. She probably doesn't even remember I exist."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:39 PM

“Well that’s her great loss, and it shows her poor character. So I’ll just have to keep you as mine then,” *Nim said, putting her arm around Cerred’s shoulders and pulling him close in a hug.* “Though I think I’m only ten, maybe eleven years older than you? But that doesn’t matter,” *She said, finishing her glass of wine.* (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:42 PM

“Yeah you can have him. I’ve. Got my hands full. He’s staying on the ship.” *Vale knew Nim knew about the whole Vax thing but no one else did yet.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 08:48 PM

"Wait what? Vale, when did you have a kid??" *Cerred asked wide-eyed.* "And really? I'll take Nim as mom! I'm very cool with it."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:48 PM

“Vax asked me to adopt him.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 08:49 PM

"Vax? Like....our Vax? Like dating my crazy subordinate Vax? Fascinating. I didn't think he was looking for a new family."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:51 PM

“Yes that Vax.” *Vale shrugged as if it was the most normal thing in the world.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:55 PM

“I’m glad,” *She said to Cerred, giving him another hug. Before wandering off to find more wine, and returning to the group.* “It’s funny, Vale manages to curb his wilder impulses. He was a perfect angel while I was babysitting the bridge,”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 08:57 PM

“No… unfortunately. He behaves on the bridge. As soon as he gets off the bridge well…”

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 08:58 PM

“Oh dear, don’t follow his example darling. You’ll make me worry,” *She said, taking another drink of wine.* “Speaking of worrying, do I want to even ask why you were In Lieutenant Altan’s quarters?” (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 09:01 PM

“They were probably in bed together. Could even be why he was late to the bridge.” *Vale was joking literally just joking she didn’t know that’s what they were really doing.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 09:11 PM

"Yeah....of the bridge, its a different story. And I'm not gonna follow his example, don't worry I don't follow him." *He chuckled and popped a small fruit in his mouth, looking back at Nim.* "Oh! I uh......" *He stopped when Vale spoke again and blushed, his normal pale features suddenly redder than a Command uniform.* "N-no! I mean--! Look. He offered to let me crash in his quarters after I was un-Borged." *He quickly shook his head and tried to shove down his blush, managing a little but it was still pretty obvious.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 09:13 PM

“He’s a catch. If you caught him well done.” *Vale shrugged.*

Lt. JG Cerred King

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 09:16 PM

“I don’t mind who you’re in a relationship with as long as you’re happy and they treat you well, be that relationship platonic, romantic, or more. Go for it, be happy,” *She said, smiling brightly at Cerred.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 16-Oct-21 09:20 PM

“If he hurts you though theres no where he can hide from me.”

[I] Ensign Galan Tomalak

Nurse Maryam (Aravik) T’Ara 16-Oct-21 09:24 PM

*She grabs her wine before,She gets up to following the romulan.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 09:33 PM

"He has only hurt me in ways I've consented to, don't worry. And he treats me well. We aren't even dating! We're just f-- wrestling. We were wrestling." *His attempts to obfuscate are failing miserably.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 09:35 PM

“Wrestling?” *She began to laugh and had to take a moment to compose herself.* “Is that what the kids are calling that these days? Wrestling?” *She fell into another fit of laughter, and set her wine to the side so she wouldn’t spill it.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 09:39 PM

"I mean there was *a little* bit of wrestling involved so it's not a complete lie!" *Cerred clarified, quickly down the rest of his wine.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 10:05 PM

“If there’s not a little bit of wrestling you might be doing it wrong but that’s my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt,” *She picked her drink back up and took a big sip.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 10:14 PM

"Oh I wholeheartedly agree! It's no fun that way! I'll be right back!" *He chirped and made his way to the dessert table again, this time grabbing a few pieces of chocolate (or what looked like it at least). Why not? Alien chocolate sounds good! He returned soon after with a few pieces and a lemon bar.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 16-Oct-21 10:29 PM

*T'Pel pulled out her tricorder and began taking scans, looking perplexed the longer she scanned. Soon she had wandering into a room labeled the dance floor*

[T] Ens. Joshua Chambers BOT 16-Oct-21 10:38 PM

*Josh walks over to a table and sits down. He's not sure how this whole food and drink thing works so he just sits down and looks around, taking in the view. He smooths out his red jacket and leans his walking cane against the table*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 10:56 PM

“This wine is delicious, and a bit stronger than I was expecting,” *She peered into the bottom of her glass, oops. That had gone fast.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 16-Oct-21 11:01 PM

*A bubble appeared on the edge of the great hall and out of it stepped Amatea- bedecked in a form-fitting golden gown, similarly gold jewelry and her hair uptied in a messy bun with long, red strands that hung down against her neck. She thought she looked acceptable at least- perhaps not the grandeur that some officers had gone out in, but now she suddenly felt underdressed. Ah well, not like she was here to try and pull a man, she was just her for the food, drinks, and conversation. Giving one of the passing elves a quick wink as she headed to the would-be bar, Mattie began to scan the line for a familiar face while she waited for whatever entity was manning the drinks to get a free moment.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 16-Oct-21 11:02 PM

"It si but it's so good! And the chocolates are amazing too!" *He held one of with a triumphant grin before popping it in his mouth.* "Ooohhh, I like that!"

Councilman Erain BOT 16-Oct-21 11:04 PM

@Crewman Rick Reyes - jump “Well, you sure are chatty this evening.” *He was being sarcastic of course.* “So, weapons cleaner, tell me more about you sky ship’s weapons.”

Heinrich Boheim BOT 16-Oct-21 11:06 PM

*Out from a bubbly shadow appeared the one, the only, the German. Heinrich. He stepped out from the entrance of the great hall, mesmorized by the sight he saw. Quite the architecture. He darted for the bar, of course he would. He wasn't here to drink though, no no. This was social time, and he was a social creature. He had replicated himself a nice suit, black of course, wouldn't have it any other way. He had neatly combed his hair and made himself look neat. As he arrived at the bar, he looked over to see..ah yes..Fraulein Janaii. They had met before but only for a brief moment. He made his way over to her.* "Fraulein Janaii, pleasure to see you again."

*Nim saw a flash of gold out of her peripheral vision and beamed.* “Excuse me a moment you two,” *She rushed over to Mattie in a flurry of blue skirts, and gave the Orion a once over.* “Mattie you came! You look so beautiful, that colour is absolutely gorgeous against your skin,”

Councilman Erain BOT 16-Oct-21 11:13 PM

*He gave Rick a questioning look.* “What story? How you arrived?”

Heinrich Boheim

*Out from a bubbly shadow appeared the one, the only, the German. Heinrich. He stepped out from the entrance of the great hall, mesmorized by the sight he saw. Quite the architecture. He darted for the bar, of course he would. He wasn't here to drink though, no no. This was social time, and he was a social creature. He had replicated himself a nice suit, black of course, wouldn't have it any other way. He had neatly combed his hair and made himself look neat. As he arrived at the bar, he looked over to see..ah yes..Fraulein Janaii. They had met before but only for a brief moment. He made his way over to her.* "Fraulein Janaii, pleasure to see you again."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 16-Oct-21 11:23 PM

*Wow, so much attention at once! For being as common a sight as she was in sickbay, she hadn't really thought that too many people would recognize her out of uniform. Maybe it was her hair? No..there was actually quite a few redheads on Odyssey, hm, maybe because she was, of course, Orion. Yeah, had to be it. She gave the tall German an award-winning smile, she reached out to cup both sides of his face in greeting, giving a quick air-kiss on either side, as was european custom allegedly. Allegedly.* "W'hey sugar booger, where you been all this time? I ain't really seen hide nor hair of you in weeks. I almost thought y'might've went and gotten borgified." *She teased, finally pulling away after a moment to clasp both hands on her golden clutch purse. One could never be too careful, it of course held a dermal regenerator, sanitizing wipes and a tricorder just in case anyone thought to be foolish.* "So how're you likin' the party so far? Any words from the wise or-" *Spotting a flutter of a massive sea of fabric, Mattie looked over Heinrich's shoulder to see Nimarah coming at her full throttle. She wondered if the tiny Betazoid had been drinking if she thought it wise to run in those heels like that.* "Hol' that thought. Nim!!" *She cried, stepping away from the bar and grasping her boss beneath her armspits and quickly slinging her around in a circle, setting her down just as easily as she'd picked her up with a subtle 'clack' of her heels hitting the ground again.* "Look at you! You look absolutely *stunning*, love!" (edited)

Heinrich Boheim BOT 16-Oct-21 11:28 PM

*Heinrich smiled as he looked back to see Amatea and Nim. Ah yes, the two good doctors reunited at least in a sense. He would the answers to her questions till she was done. He was fascinated though that she knew a custom European greeting. Not many people did that anymore, especially in this century. It intrigued him that she even knew.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 11:31 PM

“Whoa-my goodness! Thank you so much!” *She laughed stumbling a little.* “The wine here is delicious, you should try some. Also the architecture is something out of a storybook, we fit right in!” *She said giving a twirl and having to quickly find her balance.* “It’s also quite strong for wine, did you come here with Heinrich? I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’m rambling again, aren’t I?” *She said taking a breath to calm down.*

Heinrich Boheim BOT 16-Oct-21 11:32 PM

"I wouldn't consider it rambling Fraulein Drex. You are simply talking in a fast pace." *Heinrich butted in as usual, he was a bartender. Its what he does. Get used to it people.*

“Not yet actually I am not quite hungry yet.”

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 16-Oct-21 11:36 PM

Councilman Erain

Crewman Rick Reyes 16-Oct-21 11:43 PM

"Yeah, the only thing I remember is that we escaped the borg cubes before they could attempt to capture our ship, we came into this..planet and thats all I know. The rest we had to see for ourselves." ( @Lt. Girak Mayott

Dr. Amatea Janaii 16-Oct-21 11:50 PM

"I think you're talking like someone who's had a touch **too much** of that delicious wine, babes. If it's stronger than regular wine, I really hope ya paced yourself?" *She chuckled, steadying Nimarah on her heels as if she were a flimsy wee doll, holding her still by the dip of her waist and by her upper arm.* "Naw, I came stag. Heinrich jus' saw me snoopin' around the bar and came to say hi. Glad you two know each other already. But I was thinkin' of maybe having a few shots n' seeing where that took me. Maybe we could get you a soda and us some shots?"

Dr. Nimarah Drex 16-Oct-21 11:57 PM

“I’ve only had 3 glasses of wine I could definitely do at least two shots and be ok,” *She said, grinning at Mattie. She had a slightly mischievous look in here eye.* “It’s nice to see you Heinrich, I hope you have been keeping out of trouble?” (edited)

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax

*Pax stepped through and stopped, looking around in awe. The hall was stunning, never in all of the symbiont’s memories had she ever seen anything quite like it.* “I don’t even have a snarky remark or a quip, this place has left me almost speechless Ezarah, look at it all,” *She said quietly, still drinking in the view of the hall.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 17-Oct-21 12:00 AM

"The more I see of this universe the more incomprehensible it becomes," *she admitted. However, this time she managed to keep her awe in check, comporting herself and viewing the hall with a practiced eye. Perhaps the walk here had helped her get slightly more accustomed. No, it was simply good training.* "I see a few members of the council who greeted us earlier." *Kidnapped actually, but that wasn't good to say out loud.*

Heinrich Boheim BOT 17-Oct-21 12:02 AM

"Trouble? A bartender in trouble? Fraulein Drex it's like you don't know me at all." *Heinrich chuckled* "Ja, I have been staying out of trouble quite easily." *Heinrich then smiled at Janaii* "Shots would be lovely. Though I will warn you, I can out drink anyone here."

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 17-Oct-21 12:03 AM

@Captain Ezarah Ryn - jump “Is that what we’re calling random crew snatching now? Greetings?” *Pax snorted. It seemed her speechlessness hadn’t lasted long, though it never did with her.* “They better have been very polite to you all, because yanking people off their ships certainly isn’t,”

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 12:11 AM

"Sounds like something someone who can get outshot would say." *Mattie teased right back. She had an Orion constitution and it was difficult for her to get truly drunk, but she would definitely be giving it a go for sake of loosening up and having some fun.* "Excuse me, bartender! Can we please get three shots?" *She called out to the entity that was working the bar, holding up her fingers to indicate three as they walked over.*

[C] Lt. JG Kalena Miren BOT 17-Oct-21 12:14 AM

*This was a mistake. Kalena knew it the moment she stepped into the room. This was definitely a mistake. She should have stayed on the ship, where she could be alone in her room in comfortable clothing - her current favorite place to be. But it had only taken a second's glance at this city through a window to change her mind, sending Kalena running to get dressed and get off the ship. The walk through the city had been surpassed her wildest imagination. She'd spent most of the time at a standstill, staring up at the stars with wide eyes, only hurrying along when some helpful citizens had asked if she was lost. That had been magical.* *Then... she'd made it to the party. And it hit her. She was at a party, in a long flowing dress covered in flowers - replicated at random from a selection of Kriosian dresses - her hair done up in the quickest formal do she could manage, smack in the middle of a room full of people. Kalena hated parties. She normally went with Row, so they could brave the anxiety together. But she couldn't do that anymore. Now, on her own in a sea of people she didn't know, expected to represent the ship in a diplomatic fashion... she couldn't do that.* *So Kalena ran to the first room she could find. The #dance-floor.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 17-Oct-21 12:19 AM

"Behave Vidira," *Ezarah replied quickly, a hint of a warning in her voice. This was the captain speaking, not her friend.* "We appeared, at random, out of an anomaly they have lost ships inside. Our ship and technology are as foreign to them as their is to us. And yes, they have been nothing but polite. Exceedingly so." *After the kidnapping part. But Ryn could forgive that.* "Out of all the painful universes we've been to, let's be thankful that we've found a good one. Not squabble over tiny slights."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 11:39 AM

Thankfully so far all that was affected was food. Thankfully it wasn’t junk food just good food. Vine was also trying to keep her distracted and from thinking about Jane.

Cmdr Vale Azoci 17-Oct-21 07:02 PM

“In the center of the table with food flavourings.” \*Vale took another pepper as Vine gently nuzzled Kabiel \*

Lt. JG Cerred King 17-Oct-21 07:06 PM

"Ooohhh, oh you should try these! They're reeeaaally good!" *He picked up one of the peppers and offered her the plate of chocolates. Kabiel nuzzled Vine and grabbed the wilted garnish to show Vine they beat it in wrestling while Cerred took a bite of the pepper.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 17-Oct-21 07:12 PM

*Vale shook her head.* “I can’t I’m pure betazoid and Jane isnt here and I’m not near my… coping mechanisms. But you should try those peppers. They are so good!”

Vine BOT 17-Oct-21 07:13 PM

*Vine looked so proud off Kabiel for wrestling a garnish to death and nuzzled it’s child again.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 17-Oct-21 07:18 PM

*He was late, he knew, but monitoring the new comers was Paramount. However, he was content that they were peaceful but had been through hell and back.* *So he began to mingle, sorting through people as there had been a few who had caught his eye with some concerns.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 17-Oct-21 08:38 PM

*Vale looked up at the new local who had just arrived. She sighed and looked back at the peppers. Vine bit her nose again sensing another of Vales looks into the void coming on. Vine was a good Vine.*

Kabiel, training service plant BOT 17-Oct-21 08:41 PM

*Kabiel looked up at Vale and cocked their head leaf a little, scooting over to coil around her fingers and squeeze. She looked sad just like person! Hugs will help!*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 17-Oct-21 08:45 PM

*Vale smiled down at Kabiel.* “Hey there little one. Cerred taught you well. Do you remember me? You were still attached to your mother when I first got to see you wiggling for yourself. And then I placed you in the box to let you sleep till you could see your person. And now you have your person all of your own.” *She said to the little vine.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 17-Oct-21 08:51 PM

*Vale brought her head down to the little vine and gently brought it up to her cheek for a second.* “Good Kabiel.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 17-Oct-21 08:53 PM

*Cerred ate another piece of chocolate and smiled, making a little 'ooo' face.* "They pit those peppers in that one!"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 08:58 PM

"Oh? You know I've seen y'around of course but I didn' realize you were our bartender- I don't usually traverse the underbelly of tha Odyssey~ What's your specialty drink Mr. Boheim?" *She asked curiously, their shot glasses refilled and once again swung back. Two shots was enough to get going- a cocktail or two would be the next name of the game, and then two more shots. She liked her alcohol evenly spaced between her fruity, girly drinks.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex

“It is dangerous, naturally the bottle sounds like a fun idea,” *Nim grinned, having knocked back her own shot. The drink was quite palatable, the sweetness in a way made her think of Kanar.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 08:59 PM

*Turning to Nim she smiled, extremely pleased her bestie and boss was finally letting loose and enjoying herself. Honestly? She'd needed it, running this department inside this tragedy upon tragedy was making the poor Betazoid worse for wear. She would make it her number one priority that Nim leave this party laughing and drunker than she'd ever been.* "Jus' a lil sum'n sum'n for later!~ We might need to celebrate somethin' after a while y'know?"

*Nim smiled right back, feeling the warmth of the alcohol and the happy party atmosphere in equal measures.* “A little something indeed, I bet the bottle is pretty as well. Everything here is so pretty, and everyone is having such a good time. It’s so nice!”

Heinrich Boheim BOT 17-Oct-21 09:02 PM

@Dr. Amatea Janaii - jump "Underbelly? Fraulein Janaii, I will be happy to inform you I am not exactly what you would call underbelly. But anyways..." *Heinrich raised a brow* "My specialty is one of the driest martinis you've ever tasted."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 09:12 PM

*Mattie grimaced at the idea of a dry martini. Gin wasn't really her thing, it was incredibly bitter and 'dry' as he described it. Gave her cottonmouth. She shook her head and stuck out her tongue at his words, even going as far as to wave her hand dismissively.* "Count me out. I wouldn't drink gin at phaserpoint. But I'll take your word for it, babes. Also Nim darling, love, you still want that soda? Then we can get you another shot, n' another soda so you can stay at the party a lil longer, yeah?"

Heinrich Boheim BOT 17-Oct-21 09:15 PM

*Heinrich chuckled* "Do not worry Fraulein, I make and do other things then serve dry martinis, might I suggest Fraulein Drex here possibly have something with less alcohol? Perhaps elder flower? Or Apple Brandy, or a Shirly temple?"

Dr. Nimarah Drex 17-Oct-21 09:24 PM

*Nim nodded.* “Yes please soda would be lovely, it would be a shame to have to call it a night early. Though even when I’m intoxicated I’m not one to cause problems, I just get a little emotional and tend to doze off in strange places,” *She laughed, remembering how her friends were always having to find her after a night out.*

Councilman Erain

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m glad you think so, I enjoy my home as well.” *He nods to Rick then back to Pax.* “So, you’re an expert on the anomaly?”

Nasir Miaroris (Healer) BOT 17-Oct-21 09:52 PM

*He caught sight of a brunette speaking with what looked like to be a plant that he recognized as one of the minds he had touched while scanning their vessel and he walked over and gave her a bow.* "Forgive my intrusion, but I felt a need to introduce myself. I am Nasir Miaroris."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 10:04 PM

"Aw sug, it's alright!~ I get emotional and sleep n' weird places when I'm *sober.* We'll watch out for you lovely." *Mattie promised, curling an arm around Nim almost protectively- despite them both being very close to the same age.* "An apple brandy does sound awful nice though, can we get two of those actually?"

Heinrich Boheim BOT 17-Oct-21 10:16 PM

*Heinrich chuckled* "I see we have a cultured drinker in our midst."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 17-Oct-21 10:18 PM

“Oh you like brandy too? I’ve just found my new drinking buddy I think,” *Nim said, turning slightly to lean against Mattie.* “I like how tall you are, you give nice hugs,” *She said, grinning up at the Orion.* “Though I’m not terribly short for a betazoid, I’m pretty average in that regard actually,”

Dr. Amatea Janaii 17-Oct-21 10:47 PM

"More into Vulcan brandy- tastes like coffee chocolate to me. But any will do!" *She replied with a smile, leaning into Nims' hug affectionately, placing her cheek atop the brunette's happily.* "N' I like how short you are, perfect cuddlin' height. Though? It my experience with Betazoids, you run a bit more on the *petite* side, babydoll. Most Betazoids stand about 5'6". Or maybe I've just been blessed with knowin' a bunch a' tall Betazoids."

Lt. JG Cerred King 18-Oct-21 03:42 AM

*Cerred smiled drunkenly and picked up another pepper, chewing on it like it was no big deal. Perhaps the spice would help him sober up while Kabiel played.*

*Max shifted uncomfortably.* "Ah should be back on the ship." *He'd mutter.* "What're we supposed to do 'ere?"

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 18-Oct-21 05:18 AM

*She gently smiled at him, laying a hand on his arm.* "Just relax. We can go and get a drink, maybe just hang around the city if you find this too crowded. Besides, the ship isn't in any danger and you deserve to relax a bit. We could just chat and get to know one another better, dance, laugh. All the good stuff." *She gave his arm a gentle squeeze, smiling softly at him.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 18-Oct-21 07:28 AM

*Vale turned her head and kind of bowed to the new local putting the plate on the table.* “Vale Azoci. Your planet is so interesting and beautiful.”

I don’t know if my wife is still alive or not on the other side.” *Vale was trying to explain though this was a personal subject there was still much about the culture to do with it so she felt she had to explain.*

“I enjoy wine, but I normally have to be very careful with the type I consume. Or just alcohol consumption in general, I get wicked migraines otherwise,” *Nim said with a grimace.* “Tomorrow may not be much fun, but worth it. Mind you, I say that now. Let’s see what my opinion is tomorrow,”

"Aw bubby, all a hangover is is just dehydration. Drink some juice n' some water along with all your shots n' you'll be fine. Lord Nim, you're only just younger than me, how've you gone all this time not knowin' that?" *She chuckled, taking a sip of her brandy once more, it already half gone in the womans large hand.* "Bet them princess lessons ain't did you no favors in this kinda environment, huh?" *She teased, giving the Betazoid a smarmy grin.*

@Cmdr Vale Azoci - jump "There are others on your vessel that have bonds that are intact. I do not believe that this anomaly is what severed this connection. That is mostly why I wanted to speak with you. My kind work very similarly. I understand this is a horrible time to bring it to your attention, but I feel these things should be dealt with sooner rather than later. You may return home to find your mate has passed."

“I know what a hangover is! Goodness knows I’ve had my fair share of them, you goof!” *She laughed bumping Mattie with her shoulder.* “They aren’t a hangover anyway,” “And my so called ‘princess lessons’ taught me how to behave at banquets and gala, how to win over the favour of powerful allies, and how to represent the third house of betazed properly. Not how to get extremely drunk in an alternate universe,” *She said, stifling a laugh.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 18-Oct-21 05:37 PM

"May I get you anything?" *Nasir asked, truly feeling bad for this being his first interaction with her.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 18-Oct-21 05:46 PM

*Vale took off her ring with the faded tattoo underneath. There was only certain ink that could be used so it always had to be reviewed which was why the physical ring was kept instead of only relying on the tattoo.* “She had a mind like molten fire. She was beautiful… er… no thank you I’ll… I’ll be alright. Grief is just another part of life right?” *and now came the ugly crying faze.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 18-Oct-21 06:00 PM

"We can instruct the replicators to print the hard data on paper, if need be," *She offered, reentering the conversation once more.* "In that vein Councilman, I would like to appoint a designated Ambassador from each of our groups. To deal with such logistical and cultural issues when they appear."

*She smiled and quickly nodded as she made her way over to sit down.* "Nimarah. I'll make sure to remember it." *As a precaution, she took the little notepad from its pouch and wrote down at least how she thought it might be spelt, then flipped it over and put it away.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 18-Oct-21 07:15 PM

*Nim found that so sweet and had to resist the urge to hug the other woman.* “You’re D’jinn D’jarva, You have a lovely name by the way. Do you want a drink?” *She offered.*

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 18-Oct-21 07:29 PM

Cmdr Vale Azoci 18-Oct-21 07:58 PM

*Vale nodded though her tears and sobs hoping he could just sense how she felt. She understood but from now on she had to deal with this herself. Grief was something you could share with others but for each person it was different and she had to deal now.*

*Cecilia, Aurelia showed up to the great hall, and hopefully Vax but his writer isn't I. Both of them were wearing their respective dresses, with Aurelia wearing a simple turquoise dress and Cecilia wearing a black dress that was somewhat revealing.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 08:03 PM

*Yes, Vax was with them. He felt like he was more of a black suit man, so he wore a black suit and a black trench coat to go along with it.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 08:03 PM

"Ceci...couldn't you have picked something that showed...a bit less skin?" *Aurelia said carefully*

"You and your faith are overreacting again."
