Deck 25 (R&R) Destroyed / pool

USS Odyssey

Deck 25 (R&R) [Destroyed] / pool

C3C Corvus Corthrow BOT 22-Sep-20 01:53 AM

*Entering the pool with his cart, he parked it and got to work. First he went around picking up all the towels and whatnot around the beach chairs. The placed them into a sack hanging from the side of his cart to be washed later. Corvus wiped down the chairs and little drink tables, then restocked the towel racks. The pool water was automatically treated and tested in real-time by the pool's computer, so he didn't need to do anything put use the long pole with the net to scoop up anything the filter system missed. He did the same thing to the detached hot tub at the end of the main pool. Last, he swept and mopped the floors and exited with his cart, going to the sauna next.*

Lt. Jason Isker 22-Sep-20 08:14 PM

[D] *he walked into the pool area, chaning over at the changing room and then jumped into the water without creating much splash, swimming two lines while staying submerged*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:01 PM

*In uniform and with nothing in her gloved hands, she walked out into the pool area. She saw that Jason was the only one there with her. She walked along the length of the pool until she made it to the side he would be on when he came up for air.*

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:03 PM

*he looked up and and resurfaced* "Lieutenant Rhosyn." *he gasps a bit for air while he had repeated the two lanes for quite a few times* "What can i do for you?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:04 PM

"Would you like me to maintain casual pleasantries, or would you like me to get straight to the main point, sir?"

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:06 PM

"Well, a bit of smalltalk doesnt hurt, but i can throw a towel around my shoulders if you want to." *he pushes himself out of the pool and climbs out, walking past her and throws a towel around his neck*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:08 PM

"Very well. How have you been?" *She folded her hands down in front of her, and turned to face him wherever he ended up after retrieving his towel.*

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:10 PM

"Well i could have been better but i guess i have to live with the current situation. But you can enjoy some pleasentries every now and then." *he nods and crosses his arms* "So, the non pleasent part of this talk."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:15 PM

"I do not intend for it to be unpleasant. In fact I hope it is not. When we first met sir, I was still in Security. I saw your personnel file then, with Security level access. As you know I am an Intelligence now. I have had an occasion too take a look at your files again, with higher clearance. I've discovered discrepancies. So if I may, I'd like to ask you again: how have you been?"

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:16 PM

"Oh, you didnt ask how i was feeling right now then." *he nods a bit* "Well, secure the room and we can have a chat." *he chuckles a bit* "The walls have eyes and ears."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:19 PM

"I ran into many classified walls and places that don't exist but should, in a metaphorical sense, as I looked into things. I don't want to know anything I'm not supposed to. All I want to know, is that if you are okay. And that we all will be okay with you, sir."

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:22 PM

"Well, lets say i had an "interesting past" if you want to call it like that. Where do you wanna start?" *he sits down in a chair and points to another for her to sit down*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:26 PM

"I know enough about the past, sir. The 20-year gap, that brief moment when you were the only person aboard a starship, and that you fought in multiple wars." *She stepped over to one of the beach chairs and took a seat.*

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:28 PM

"Then what are the discrepancies that you mentioned, i probably can clear them up." *he nods and turns towards her* "So you know about my little heroic act huh?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:30 PM

"Yes, I know. As for the discrepancies, it is none of my business. My only concern is that you do not become heroic again."

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:31 PM

"Well, not that type of heroic at least." *he sighs a bit* "If this crew doesnt turn into a bunch of inhuman bastards with no souls inside their mortal shells, i do not think i would ever do that again, if thats what you want to hear."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:36 PM

"I lack the capacity to engage in matters of philosophy or morality. Your records have been sealed and even purged by levels of Starfleet intelligence so high I cannot even confirm they exist. You've been cleared and allowed to return, you've passed your physicals and your therapy sessions. I have done nothing to circumvent these blocks, however I wonder if they simply gave you a free pass, or if you are truly okay."

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:43 PM

"A free pass?" *he laughs* "This is probably my last assignment ever. They only put me here so i would be far away from some admirals turf." *he nods* "I am in good condition, but these deleted records you mentioned are more problems then good. I may not be okay in a metaphorical sense but i am in a physical one. Metal is up for debate currently though as it seems"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 07:48 PM

"I am no stranger to having a past that leads to mental difficulties. It stands out to me that they did not merely drum you out of the service or toss you in a cell in the center of a dead moon forever to keep you away from the admirals. That is the usual forte."

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 07:50 PM

"Well, you cant let a hero vanish just like that who saved over 300 souls from iconian destruction." *he chuckles* "The hero card helped and i guess they somewhere agreed with my actions. I was ordered to stay quiet about this matter and i shall not have to face retribution. So i stayed quiet."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 08:00 PM

"I am concerned for and about you. There is more to this, as you've mentioned, but I will leave all of that to your own handling. Should you have a desire or need to reach out for help with anything, I would be very glad to be of service to you, before anything gets out of hand." *There was a lack of finality to what she said. Her careful wording would make it clear that she was aware of more than she let on. At the same time, her concern would feel genuine to the Betazoid. As well as urgent. A touch of fear could also be felt.*

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 08:17 PM

*he raises an eyebrow at her and nods* "Well i appreciate that, but i hope i am not landing on your blacklist here." *he chuckles a bit* "Well if i need help i know to which Intelligence officer i will go. And trust me i dont want this to get out of hand." *he sighs a bit* "That would be too much that could go wrong"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 23-Sep-20 08:19 PM

*Her comm badge sounded a request for her, and she acknowledged it. Arian stood up from the beach chair and said to Jason,* "I'm not Section 31." *With that one very significant remark, she departed the pool area.*

Lt. Jason Isker 23-Sep-20 08:22 PM

*he grins and leans into the seat* "Oh i know that. Lets hope it stays that way." *he nods*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:22 PM

*T'Pel entered, wearing a simple purple one piece and began to undo her hair from it's up-do as she took notice of the occupant in the pool.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 07:23 PM

*Katie entered onto the pool area, in uniform, and sat in a chair, and began to read her PADD.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:24 PM

*She dove under the water, and came up by the shallow end.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 07:28 PM

*Pas entered, having completed his shift, he entered the pool in trunks and a translucent lilac shawl.* "Hey it's a pool party. Katie, T'Pel, person I don't know. What's up?"

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:29 PM

*She swam to the edge, getting out for the replicator.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 07:33 PM

Uh, nothing really."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:36 PM

"Greetings, Pas." *T'Pel acknowledge setting her folded uniform on a chair, along with the pins for her hair, which was now a long poofy curly mess.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:39 PM

"Greetings." *T'kes walked over to the replicator, and came back with a foam football.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 07:40 PM

"Hey, the name's Pasto Nix, call me Pas." *He noticed the ears and didn't extend a hand.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:40 PM

*T'Pel looked to the woman and gave a nod in greeting.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:42 PM

"Does anyone care to have a game of foam football in the pool?"

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:43 PM

"I will admit, that I do not know how to play, however I can learn." *She answered and looked to Pas.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:43 PM

"Alright. Come on in."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 07:43 PM

"Well I guess I'll just go on calling you person I don't know, then." *He shrugged.* "Sure, let's do it."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 07:44 PM

"Uh, I'll just decline..." *She said, responding to the football question.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:44 PM

"I'm T'kes, sorry I didn't properly introduce myself."

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 07:45 PM

*he looked up a bit at the sudden commotion and then leaned back into his beach chair and put the towel over his head again*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:49 PM

"T'Pel Kestra." *She said and glanced over to Jason. A mild sinking feeling passing through her. However, she walked to the deeper end of the pool and dove in.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 07:50 PM

"Well it's a pleasure, T'kes." *He moved over and removed the shawl then dove into the pool,*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 07:51 PM

"Say, would you like some music?" *She motioned at the boombox at the edge of the pool.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 07:53 PM

*She looked at the others, notably out of place in her uniform.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 07:56 PM

*Pas swam. over to T'Pel with an analytical eye, looking her over for a moment, then giving an approving nod and grin,. speaking only loud enough to be heard by her.* "You and the weretiger, I assume?" *Who the hell knows how he knows.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 07:59 PM

*T'Pel blinked and eyed Pas with a mild blush. Of course he would zero in on it,* "Yes." *Was all she said. What else was she to say? There was no logic in lying, and she knew Pas would know better anyway. Speaking of relationships were just foreign to her.* (edited)

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:01 PM

*Pas grinned.* "In some circles I'm known as the sex bloodhound. So, what's the plan from there going to be going steady?"

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:03 PM

*T'kes was at the edge of the pool, listening intently.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:06 PM

*Katie couldn't help but watch and try to eavesdrop as well.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 08:08 PM

*T'Pel suddenly felt eyes upon her, so she held her breath and slipped under the water for a long moment.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:09 PM

*Who?*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:11 PM

"Hey, cmon guys, Eve's dropping is rude." *He dove underwater, swimming over to Katie and pooping up to splash her wear she stood.*

"Wha-hey!"

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:12 PM

*She looked over at Pas.* "Go long."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:13 PM

*She recoiled back in her chair away from the water he splashed.*

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 08:15 PM

*jason chuckles* "Well this turned out to be an interesting place here." *he sits up a bit*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:17 PM

"If you're not gonna get in, you don't get to listen in on the pool conversation." *He called to Katie. He then swam back to the other side of the pool, splashing T'kes on the way.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:18 PM

"I don't like swimming..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:19 PM

"Why not?"

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 08:19 PM

"Well to each their own." *he grins and looks over the pool*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:20 PM

"Alright." *She dove under, and swam about.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:20 PM

"I don't like getting wet."

"I mean, I know how to swim, but honestly, the only way you could get me into a pool was if you dragged me in."

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:22 PM

"OK." *T'kes got out of the pool and headed for Katie.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:23 PM

"Wha- hey, I was kidding," *She stumbled back out of her chair.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:24 PM

*T'kes laughed.* "It's a joke. Lighten up."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:26 PM

*Pas took the time to sneak up on the other side of Katie, cathing here as she scrambled out of the chair and lifting her up* "You won't get wet. You'll get soaked." *He dashed forward and pulled her into the pull with a canon ball* (edited)

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:28 PM

*T'kes watched, and dove after Pas. She knocked him over.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:28 PM

"Wha- No!" *She managed to drop her PADD before she was flung into the pool* "No-" **SPLASH**

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 08:29 PM

*he chuckles as he sees the whole scene happening*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:29 PM

*She opened her eyes, underwater, though it was blurry due to the combination of her glasses being knocked off and from the chlorine.*

*She surfaced, and rubbed her eyes.* "Shoot, shoot, shoot, where'd my glasses go?"

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:31 PM

"Here." *She gave the glasses.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:32 PM

"Now you can get on on the pool conversation."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:33 PM

*She took the circular wire-rimmed glasses from her, and put them on, as well as slicked her wet bangs back so they wouldn't fall into her eyes.*

*She snatched her floating hairband from the water, returning it to her hair.*

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:34 PM

*She looked at everyone.* "Logic has died."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:34 PM

"I have very poor impulse control."

Deleted User 24-Sep-20 08:35 PM

"Ok."

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 08:39 PM

*Unlike the rest, the Kelpien did not join them in the pool when he walked through the doors. Rather, he settled by the side of the pool in a deck chair with his PADD in hand.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:43 PM

*Katie looked initially unamused, perhaps a little sad or angry. Despite this, and perhaps due to her hesitance about standing up to friends, she did manage to smile, and see he was only trying to help.* (edited)

"Fine..."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 08:49 PM

*Seeing Duna enter, T'Pel swam over and peeked her eyes over the edge of the pool to peer at him,* "Fancy a swim, Duna?"

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 08:51 PM

"No thank you, T'Pel," *He said, peering over the top of his PADD,* "Unfortunately swimming has never been one of my strong suits."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 08:53 PM

"With your hight, and several experienced swimmers, you would not drown. You would be a beneficial member on a team for this ball game."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:53 PM

"Sorry, Katie, I'm realizing that may have been a poor decision."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:54 PM

*She sighed.* "I-It's fine... I'll just drip in the halls while I go back to my quarters."

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 08:54 PM

"A... ball game?" *He questioned.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:54 PM

"There are changing rooms, ya know."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 08:56 PM

*T'Pel pointed over to the ball T'Kes had,* "I am unsure as to the rules or how to play. However I am sure I can learn. Your hight would give you a significant advantage."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 08:58 PM

"I probably wouldn't be the best player, with my uniform sopping wet."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 08:59 PM

"The replicator could provide any suit for you, Katie." *T'Pel added.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 08:59 PM

"Exactly. Also hi, Dune!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:02 PM

"I'll go change then..." *She said, climbing out of the pool, water dripping from her soaked uniform. She walked off towards the changing room.*

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 09:02 PM

"Perhaps next time." *He really didn't seem interested in joining them - for now.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:03 PM

"Should I toss him in the pool, too?" *He asked T'Pel.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:05 PM

*T'Pel eyed Dune carefully with a raised brow,* "He has spines he can shoot you with. Perhaps if you can avoid those?" *She smirked lightly, wholely kidding, of course.* "Perhaps after he sees how much fun we are having he will join on his own."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:06 PM

*She emerged from the changing room in a fairly cute bikini in a shade of blue that matched her hairband.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:07 PM

"Looking good, Katie!" *He called with a smile.*

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 09:08 PM

*He went back to his PADD and his reading.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:09 PM

*She smiled, qwalked over, and slowly got into the pool.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:11 PM

*T'Pel pulled herself out of the pool, right in front of Dune, aimed, and then cannonballed into the pool. Making the biggest splash she possibly could. Once she came up for air she wipped the hair from her face,* "Logic dictates that if you do not wish to get wet, stay away from the water." *And she dove under the water for a bit. Swimming around like a shark, giving Pas's calf a light pinch as she passed by.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:13 PM

"Oh ho ho, that is not a war you wish to start." *He dove after her, kicking his feet to splah Dune as well.*

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 09:14 PM

*Contrary to expectations, he did not try to spike either of them. Instead he hauled his sopping self away to the changing rooms, emerging in a fresh uniform and moving to a deck chair further away and resuming his reading.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:18 PM

*Despite being wet herself, she flinched and dodged the water being kicked away.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:19 PM

*T'Pel finally came up for air, spotting Duna across the way, and she couldn't help the amused smirk that crossed her lips,* "You are a stubborn one, Duna. Very well."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:20 PM

*Pas came up from under her (T'pel), grabbing her by the ankle and flipping her back into the water as he came up.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:22 PM

*The oldest trick in the book, but she let him have it, and bobbed to the surface,* "It is good to see you out of you cave, Katie. I do hope Pas was not too rough with you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:23 PM

"No, no... It was fine, I guess..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:24 PM

*Pas snirked.* "Don't innuendo at her too hard, grape lady."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:24 PM

*Katie went red.* "Um, uh..."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:26 PM

"I did mean it literally, Pas. Having been in a similar position as a child who did not know how to properly swim...it can be upsetting." *T'Pel said, poking him in a rib just enough to tickle.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:27 PM

"Then don't innuendo too hard at yourself, Tiger Trainer." *He grinned and poked her back.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:27 PM

"Wh- I know how to swim..."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:30 PM

*She raised a brow and smirked at Pas. She liked that nickname, though she would never admit it out loud, and she turned to Katie,* "I did not mean to imply that you do not. Just that at the time, I did not. But I am glad you chose to join us I stead of being a Stickler." *T'Pel added, giving Dune a pointed look from the water.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:31 PM

"Oh, okay" *She nodded.* (edited)

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:32 PM

"Is T'kes just going to leave us in mystery about this game?"

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:35 PM

"It would seem so."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:35 PM

"What game?"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:35 PM

"Whatever water football she mentioned." (edited)

Kaijin 24-Sep-20 09:39 PM

[Dune]*He seemed unfazed by the accusation somehow.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:41 PM

"I don't really like swimming, but I must admit, this is better than Lieutenant Canaris's holodeck program."

1

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:42 PM

*T'Pel quirked a brow,* "And what program is this?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:44 PM

"Omaha Beach."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:44 PM

"Is that a planet?"

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 09:45 PM

"I have a Risa program I am sure you would enjoy better. Beaches and hiking. The diving is also quite enjoyable."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:46 PM

"It's a place from a battle during Earth's Second World War, it was a pretty bloody battle."

"I don't really like beaches, to be honest..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:46 PM

"So... why did you do that program?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:47 PM

"I mean, like sunshine and vacation beaches."

"I don't like getting sunburned,"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:48 PM

"We have sunscreen, ya know. And UV neutralizers. A lot of resort beaches are safer from being sunburnt than a starship."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:49 PM

"I guess, but I don't really like heat either..."

*She half wanted to just ask them to stop with the questions and making her the center of attention, but the other half didn't want to offend, or even stand up to them.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:51 PM

*Pas was very oblivious to this fact.* "There are also temperature controlled beaches."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:53 PM

"Whatever, just-... nevermind."

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 09:53 PM

"Hey, leave the lieutenant some space pas." *he sighs a bit* "she cant breathe like thaz"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:53 PM

"Huh? We're basically on opposite sides of the pool."

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 09:54 PM

"Not how i meant it." *he taps his head a bit to give him a hint*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:55 PM

*He just blinked at him a coupe times. Was she saying she had a headache? Was he saying* he *had a headache? Pas was very confused.*

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 09:56 PM

*he facepalms and shakes his head* "Dont corner her like that. Dont you see that she became uncomfortable?"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 09:56 PM

"Corner her like what?"

*Ever the unabashed extravert, he had no idea what Jason was talking about.* (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 10:01 PM

"Pas, for someone as clever as you you can be dense as a dwarf star. Take the hint from her bodylanguage and from the betazoid that she is uncomfortable being the center of attention." *he sighs and grins a bit* "So much for the ladiesman"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:03 PM

"Uh... oh, oh." *And the ignorant enthusiasm fell into shame as he sank, both physically and in countenance.*

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 10:04 PM

"Dont drown yourself please." *he grins* "So you aint good with hints huh?"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:06 PM

*Pas just climbed out of the pool and sulked off to the changing rooms. Jason didn't exactly help how he felt at the moment.*

Kaijin 24-Sep-20 10:08 PM

[Dune]*He was on his feet (hooves?) immediately, starting after Pas. He'd been listening despite being absorbed in his PADD.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:11 PM

*Katie started after Nix, climbing out of the pool.*

*She followed him inside.* (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 24-Sep-20 10:17 PM

*he looks after them a but confused* "Did i say something wrong?"

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:49 PM

*Upon stepping out of the changing rooms he sighed and headed out the doors. He didn't plan to swim anyway.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:16 PM

*T'Pel got out of the pool just to stand and look toward the dressing rooms, concern in her dark eyes, even though the rest had fallen to her usual Stoicism.* "He is a sensitive little mochi, isn't he." *She mostly stated to herself, making a mental note to somehow involve herself in assisting him.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:24 PM

*After a moment, she walked to the changing room with her uniform.*

Deleted User 26-Sep-20 10:11 AM

*She got out of the pool, and made her way to the changing rooms.*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 09:42 AM

*He walked into the changing rooms and emerged in a one-piece red swimsuit, then settled on a bench and waited for Nihav to show.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:42 AM

*She walked in and pulled off the dress, swim suit underneath, and tossed it at Dunamis before cannon balling into the pool*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 09:46 AM

*He let out a disgruntled chuckle and jumped into the pool after her - though admittedly he looked funny treading water with hooves. Ha.* "Hello, love. Did your day go well?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:00 AM

*She surfaced and pushed her hair away from her face, treading water in turn. She turned to hold the edge and groaned* “so long, so pointless. Just paperwork paperwork paperwork”

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:05 AM

"I can imagine..." *He hummed, wrapping his arms around her belly and hugging her tight.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:06 AM

*She laughed* “hey just because you can touch the bottom easily doesn’t mean all of us can”

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:07 AM

"I know that." *He blushed some then and stared off into the distance.* "Sometimes being so tall isn't quite as beneficial as it may seem. Admittedly."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:09 AM

*She turned to look at him, an amused smile on her face* “are you pouting because of weather jokes, or because you have to duck every time you walk through a door?”

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:11 AM

"No, not really. Having to bend over to fit through most doors, having to look *down* at most - it feels awful, sometimes." *He reasoned, nuzzling into her hair.* (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:35 AM

*she chuckled* “maybe I’ll buy some reeaaaallly tall heels then. Just for you” *she kissed his nose softly*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:37 AM

"There's no need to do that, my dear. Please." *He smiled softly in response and nosed her forehead.* "Well. We obviously cannot stay cuddling until the end of our time here can we? Has there been news from Operations about my quarters transfer request?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:41 AM

*She smiled* “oh! Yes! They said you can, but we have to keep in mind that it’s permanent. So we could never switch again regardless of our relationship status.”

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:43 AM

"That's alright." *He decided,* "I believe they should have my belongings transported over by now..."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:47 AM

*She smiled softly at him* “well I don’t plan on ever releasing you from my hold, so you’re stuck with me” *she said in a teasing voice*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:49 AM

"You might find that this predator is quite content with his prey as well." *He said, leaning and growling it into her ear.* "*You* are stuck with *me.*"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:52 AM

*She blushed and grinned* “it’s adorable that you think *you* are the predator” *she said, teasingly sliding her foot up his thigh*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:54 AM

"My people are a species of apex predator, Nihav. I'm sure you knew that. I can snap you up for dinner if I ever so wanted."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:55 AM

*She hummed at him, grinning* “and what makes you think I haven’t been weakening you on purpose?” *she mused, cocking an eyebrow*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 10:57 AM

"I don't know. How do you propose I *prove* that I haven't been weakened by you...?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:58 AM

*She laughed* “from the way you walked out this morning? Nothing.”

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 11:02 AM

"Perhaps." *He let go of her and dived back down under the pool's surface, playfully splashing her and chuckling before he did.* (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 11:10 AM

*She laughed, amused as he swam away* “you can’t run from the truth!” *she said playfully, diving after him*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 11:13 AM

*You cannot run. A smirk spread across his face. Of course he could. That was what his legs were built for after all. He dived down deep and emerged on the other side of the pool.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 11:35 AM

*She came up about halfway, sputtering and gasping for air, wiping the water off her face and treading the water*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 06:57 PM

[Dune]*He swam back to her side and popped up next to her in the pool.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 07:30 PM

*She coughed and swam for the edge, holding out and coughing furiously, trying not to throw up the water she'd inhaled.*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 07:35 PM

[Dune]*He swam after her and patted her back, looking concerned.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 07:45 PM

*She coughed a little more before letting out a relived sigh* "thanks..."

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 07:58 PM

[Dune]"You're welcome. Would you like to get out of the pool and rest for now?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 08:17 PM

*She pulled herself out of the pool and smiled down at him* "I'll sit here, you can keep swimming while I watch" *she said with a wink*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 08:21 PM

[Dune]"As you wish. Am I that good to watch...?" *He asked while treading water at her feet.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 08:34 PM

*she smiled and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead* "Always have been"

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 08:35 PM

[Dune]"So have you. I simply never found the confidence to tell you." *He winked once before diving under water again.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 08:56 PM

*She chuckled, leaning back some as she watched him swim around*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:02 PM

[Dune]*He swam up next to her soon after and sat down at her side.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:03 PM

*She playfully attempted to shove Dunamis back into the pool* "No way, this is my spot!" *she joked with a grin*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:06 PM

[Dune]*He slid back into the pool, holding onto the side.* "May I share it with you? Please?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:07 PM

*She leaned over with a soft grin* "that depends"

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:17 PM

[Dune]"On what exactly? I would *love* to know."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:19 PM

*she smiled* “I’ll ask you one question and regardless of your answer you may sit here. But I was you to answer me honestly. Even if you think I’ll hate the answer.”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:20 PM

[Dune]"Of course."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:22 PM

“Where do you see us over the next 5 years? Even this next year”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:25 PM

[Dune]"Let us start small. This time next year..." *He smiled widely (for a Kelpien).* "...perhaps there'll be a ring on your finger. The following five years to a decade...? Well, I hope to see myself in the captain's chair, with you on board as a diplomatic officer and my partner for life."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:27 PM

*She listener to him intently and looked away, an uncertain look on her face* “any small hooves or feet in that equation?” *she asked softly*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:28 PM

[Dune]"Like I said, and still believe: scientific progress is ever advancing. Yes. There are some in that equation." (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:31 PM

*she smiled and shook her head* “nah I’ve been thinking and, I think we should adopt.”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:31 PM

[Dune]"I would welcome that as well."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:33 PM

*She swallowed.* “Dune. Can I ask you a question.”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 09:33 PM

[Dune]"Of course. Anything."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 09:47 PM

*she took his hands in hers* “Dunamis. We’ve known each other for almost 30 years. We’ve traveled the stars as children, done our fair share of pranks, passed classes with soaring colors, and gave each other our first intimate moments. Dunamis we spent 20 years apart all because of our jobs. A war separated us and I know we’re only just starting to make up for lost time but....well..Dunamis...in light of the Riposte going missing...I don’t want to keep waiting while life happens and things can go wrong. Which is why I have to ask... Dunamis...*will you marry me?*” *she whispered the last part, leaning down to set her forehead against his*

Obelyzk 01-Oct-20 09:57 PM

*Initially he blushed furiously and stared into her eyes, golden into grey - before smiling and gently pushing back, squeezing her hands firmly.* "Of course I will."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:16 PM

*She had been so nervous, waiting for his answer, but when it came her heart soared.* “how about at the end of the month?”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 10:35 PM

[Dune]"That sounds good." *He nodded and leaned in to kiss her.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:38 PM

*She placed her hands in either side of his face, pulling him into a deep kiss.* “I love you Dunamis”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 10:39 PM

[Dune]"I love you as well, Nihav D'rytaa~" *He leaned in, wrapping his hands around her waist.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 10:52 PM

*She hummed softly, the air around them beginning to smell like roses. She gave the top of his head a fond little kiss, smiling at him*

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 11:04 PM

[Dune]*He drew her close to him, settling her in his lap.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 01-Oct-20 11:05 PM

*She raised an eyebrow.* “Hmm you know were in a public space, right? Although no one is here right now.”

Kaijin 01-Oct-20 11:06 PM

[Dune]"Of course." *He set her back down and stood up, stretching a little bit.* "Well. Shall we return to our quarters then?"

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 08:08 AM

*She chuckled* “why? Have you worked up an appetite?”

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 08:17 AM

[Dune]"Perhaps." *He suggested.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 11:50 AM

*She laughed and made a silly face* “not good enough” *she said, sticking her tongue out at him*

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 11:50 AM

[Dune]"What *is* good enough, my dear...?" *He asked.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 12:05 PM

*She stood up and cannon balled into the pool, attempting to splash him. Resurfacing with a giggle*

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 12:08 PM

[Dune]*He coughed and tumbled in after her, grabbing her by the waist.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 03:47 PM

*he let out a shriek when he fell in and then laughed when he grabbed her* “you okay?!”

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 08:32 PM

[Dune]"I am perfectly, wonderfully alright, my dear, worry not-" *He said, nuzzling the base of her neck.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 09:24 PM

*she let out a giggle, that tickled!* “dunnnneeeyyy!!! That tickles!!”

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 09:43 PM

[Dune]"I know it does." *He said, his breath warm against her ear.* "And I think you don't mind at all."

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 09:54 PM

*She chuckled, her cheeks turning a deep shade of grin* "Don't say things like that unless you plan to back up your statements up with actions"

Obelyzk 02-Oct-20 09:58 PM

"I never said I *didn't,* Nihav. Hmm. I should invent a nickname for you as you have for me." *He hummed to himself, thinking.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 10:08 PM

*She laughed* "20 years later and you only now want to give me a nick name?"

Obelyzk 02-Oct-20 10:14 PM

"Would you mind?" *He said with an apologetic smile, and he kissed her on the cheek.* (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 10:28 PM

*She chuckled* "If I don't like it, I promise to let you know. Otherwise, give it your best shot"

Obelyzk 02-Oct-20 10:37 PM

"Nivvie." *He suggested for a start.* "Simple and easy to remember." (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 11:00 PM

*She paused, thinking* “hmm I like it” *she said with a smile* “now come on, let’s get out of here before you turn into a huge prune” *she said with a loud laugh, a bit overly amused by the visual image that popped into her head*

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 11:04 PM

[Dune]"Of course." *Taking her hand underwater he swam to the pool's edge and pulled himself out, then headed to the changing rooms.*

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 11:07 PM

*She went to grab her dress and pulled it back over her swim suit. Waiting for him to come back from changing.*

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 11:07 PM

[Dune]*He returned from the changing room in uniform and smiled to her, taking her hand in his and squeezing her fingers affectionately.* (edited)

Ensign Nihav D'rytaa BOT 02-Oct-20 11:16 PM

*she squeezed his hand back, smiling gently at him* “shall we go home then my love?” *she asked him with a soft smile*

Kaijin 02-Oct-20 11:19 PM

[Dune]"Yes. We shall." *He confirmed, and led her out of the pool.*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 10-Nov-20 04:08 PM

*Holmes walks in, leaving his glasses and towel on a bench, and dived into the cool water.*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 10-Nov-20 04:16 PM

*Holmes climbed out of the pool, sliding his glasses on*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 01:55 AM

*Kir slid into the pool with a sigh, happily soaking in the cool waters.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 01:57 AM

*She entered and dived in quite delicately, barely a splash. When she got up she put her hair out of her face and smiled.* "Pretty nice water."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 02:04 AM

"Cool and comforting," *He noted.* "And wet. Wait, that's obvious."

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 02:29 AM

*She chuckled and swam towards him, splashing a bit of water in his face.* "It is comforting, isn't it?" *She smiled.* "That's the reason I swim so much."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 02:37 AM

"It's done you good. I remember being throwj into freezing lake water for Guard training..."

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 03:23 AM

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" *She raised an eyebrow.* "I remember ice swimming as a good thing, but I don't know what you thought of it."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 04:41 AM

"Cold." *He replied - following which he smirked.* "It was cold. And unexciting. But it made us tougher at least."

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 04:57 AM

*She chuckled and smiled at him* "Well, at least you didn't die of hypothermia.~" *She grinned.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 05:05 AM

"No one died of hypothermia. One drowned but was revived shortly after."

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 05:18 AM

*She looked at him and raised an eyebrow.* "One *drowned*?..." *She sighed.* "Not as safe, hm?" *She shrugged, shortly after giving a smile.* "Wanna have a race? One side of the pool to the other."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 05:21 AM

"Are there stakes to this race?"

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 05:24 AM

"If you want~"

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 05:36 AM

"No stakes." *He decided. He didn't care if she thought him a wimp for it.* "Just a leisurely race."

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 05:39 AM

"Alrighty then." *She smiled and swam to the edge of the pool, hanging on thee she with her feet up against the wall.* "Ready positions~" *She grinned a bit.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 06:03 AM

"Ready." *He did the same as her.* "On my mark?"

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 06:12 AM

*She nodded.* "Go on ahead."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 07:33 AM

"Three. Two. One. Go!" *He pushed cleanly off the wall and swam smoothly down the pool.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 07:36 AM

*She pushed off and dived just onder the surface, keeping up with him. She was most definitely smiling.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 07:40 AM

*Truthfully? So was Kir. He enjoyed some measure of competition and this was just about it. He swam forward a couple more meters, touching the other end of the pool a second or two ahead of her.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 07:52 AM

*She touched the end of the pool and popped up from under the water. She smiled at him.* "Looks like you won~ Congratulations."

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 07:57 AM

"While *you* gave me a run for my money. So good job to you as well." *He chuckled dryly, popping up from the water and hugging her briefly before letting her go.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 08:02 AM

*She smirked and hugged him, holding him tight and fell back into the water, dragging him with her.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 08:09 AM

*With a big splash and a surprised yelp, he toppled backwards into the water, spluttering and flailing, before regaining his composure.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 08:14 AM

*She chuckled and smiled at him.* "You won't go anywhere whilst I'm here~" *She smirked a bit.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 09:01 AM

*He struggled in her grasp and wiggled out of her arms - he didn't fancy the idea of drowning in affection (literally. Or perhaps not.) Regardless he gave her a quick underwater kiss to show that he wasn't being mean by it.* (edited)

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 09:04 AM

*She smiled and kissed him back before swimming back up for air, she then floated on the surface with her face to the ceiling.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 09:08 AM

*Kir swam another few laps before popping up next to her, treading water.* "You look peaceful." *He commented breezily.* "Your face says it all."

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 09:11 AM

*She chuckled lightly.* "Well, I do find peace in taking a dive. *Especially* when I'm with my boyfriend." *She smirked and turned to him, giving a kiss.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 09:21 AM

"Heh. Stop it, you." *He joked, jabbing her in the side.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 09:26 AM

*She giggled.* "Never~" *She stuck out her tongue in a teasing manner and smirked.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 09:51 AM

"Fine. Be that way." *He huffed and swam off, away from her, pausing once to look at her.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 09:57 AM

*She chuckled a bit.* "Meanie!" *She swam after him with quite some speed, apperantly she was holding back during the race.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 10:29 AM

*Really, he didn't mind if she was faster or slower. He simply liked spending the time with her.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 10:54 AM

*So did she, being with him was amazing. Eventually she caught up and hugged him.* "Gotcha~" *She smirked a bit, kissing his cheek.* "You're slow by the way.~" *She teased a bit, poking his side.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 11:43 AM

"Whatever. I don't really care." *He muttered.* "Just the time with you is enough for me."

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast 19-Nov-20 12:01 PM

*She smiled.* "Spending time with you is the best thing."

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 01:14 AM

"And I agree with you." *He smiled and swam off to the edge to climb out.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 01:18 AM

*She swam after him and got out of the pool, sitting on the edge with her feet still in the water. She was smiling brightly with a slight blush as she looked at him.* "You know, Kir. I think you might be the best thing to have ever happened in my life."

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 05:21 AM

"Am I?" *He shook the water out of his blond hair with a weary sigh.* "How?"

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 05:23 AM

"Well, you just are." *She smiled softly and hugged him.* "And you are caring, loving and everything I ever wished for..."

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 05:46 AM

"Everything. Huh. Okay." *He chuckled and accepted the hug with an arm around her shoulders.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 05:47 AM

"It's true!" *She chuckled and gave him a kiss.* "I love you, Kir... Just so you know~"

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 07:21 AM

"You makw that clear to me every day. I love you too, Sky. I really do."

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 07:26 AM

*She chuckled a bit.* "Better say it too much then too less." *She grinned at him and hugged him a bit tighter.* "Good to know~"

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 07:31 AM

"Yeah. That's right." *He wrapped both arms around her and pulled her close to him against his chest.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 07:34 AM

*She basically melted into the hug, snuggling in. She stayed silent seeing she absolutely loved the hug, it made her feel safe. She let out a sigh of relief as she hugged him back, quite pleased to say the least.*

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 07:57 AM

*He sat there for a few more moments before piping up,* "You know, we can't stay like this forever..."

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 08:00 AM

*She looked up.* "We can't? Shame." *She smirked a bit.* "Quarters?"

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 08:10 AM

"Quarters." *He agreed.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 08:19 AM

*She smiled.* "After you~"

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 08:22 AM

*Quarters. Somehow he suspected that she might want more than just hugs when they reached deck 4. Standing, he trudged off to the changing rooms.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 08:26 AM

*She smiled and followed him.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 06:59 PM

*He entered and stood at the edge. He was a small Vulcan, about 4'11. He peered into the pool, readying himself to do a cannonball.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:04 PM

*Lucian entered and looked around. Seeing a.... remarkably short Vulcan? And he's gonna do a cannonball? He keeps a fair distance as to not interrupt.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:06 PM

*He backed up and readied himself to jump in. He looked like a human child of about 15 years. He ran and balled up over the water.* "Cannonball!" *He splashed into the water loudly.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:09 PM

*'Wow.... he really went for it.' He thought. He started walking over to where the stranger had jumped into the pool and peered down. A little confused that he had just watched a Vulcan excitedly yell 'Cannonball!' and leap into a swimming pool.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:11 PM

*He was an illogical Vulcan, one who did not suppress his emotions. He was quite rambunctious. He came up and looked at Lucian. Oh boy, he thought. Other people. He gave a friendly wave.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:12 PM

*He did not know this, and was still confused.* "Uh, hey there." *He said, waving back.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:13 PM

"Uh, hello! The water's nice." *He dipped back under like a fish and made his way to the steps.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:16 PM

"The last thing I expected to find on a starship was a swimming pool."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:18 PM

"I said the same thing!" *Aaron said as he sat on the steps.* "I mean, you could always have one on the holodeck. But a ship this big has many things."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:19 PM

"Yeah, I've never been in a real swimming pool. Only ever on the holodeck." *He said, backing up slowly.* "Always wanted to know what it was like." *He added, a smile appearing on his face.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:20 PM

"Well, this is the real deal." *The Vulcan tilted his head, smiling as well.* "Why don't you jump in like I did? It helps you get instantly used to the temperature."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:25 PM

"That was the plan." *He said, stopping his slow walk backwards and bursting into a full sprint towards the pool, leaping off the edge and moving himself into the right position for a cannonball. Creating quite the splash as his body hit the water.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:28 PM

*He chuckled as Lucian hit the pool.* "Bravo!" *He applauded his cannonball.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:31 PM

*After an almost concerning amount of time, Lucian resurfaces.* "Holy.... crap... why is it so cold?" *He said between breaths. Swimming over to the side of the pool and holding on to it.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:33 PM

"I dunno. It's meant to be cold." *He replied, slightly concerned about his being under for a while.*

"Guess it's been awhile, and all this excitement about getting on to a new ship and stuff." *He said, his breathing steadying.* "And I guess it's easier to control the temperature of holographic water." (edited)

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:38 PM

*He smiled.* "Well, it is exciting. This water is uncontrolled. Nice and natural." *He floated on his back.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:48 PM

"I guess." *He said.* "I never would've imagined that I'd get put on a ship like this for my first assignment." *He added.* "I mean, there's literally another ship attached to this ship!" (edited)

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 07:56 PM

"Yes, indeed! This is a really big vessel." *He said.* "Also not as many Vulcans as my previous ship, which is a plus."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:57 PM

"What's up with that, anyway? You act so much differently from other Vulcans I've met." *He asked, looking over at Aaron. Realizing they had never actually introduced themselves properly.* "Bit of a weird question to ask given that we don't even know each other's names. I'm Lucian." (edited)

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:01 PM

"I'm Aaron." *He held up a ta'al.* "I am an illogical Vulcan. I do not follow the teachings of Surak." *He said as he floated in the water.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:05 PM

"Huh... that's interesting." *He said, 'Fuck, I almost said "Fascinating" to the illogical Vulcan. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' He thought.* "What do you do? Engineering? Operations? Science? I'm an Engineer myself." *He said, finally pushing away from the wall and floating on his back in the pool.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:09 PM

"I'm in science." *He replied.* "My second posting. What's your job in engineering?" *He stood on his toes, barely above the water.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:11 PM

"I'm a Specialized Engineering Officer, I work with Slipstream technology." *He said, sighing.* "It was either gonna be Engineering or Science because of my Parents."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:13 PM

*He furrowed his brow.* "Fascinat-." *He swam under the water to the deep end before resurfacing.* "So, you chose engineering over science, hmm... You're an ensign, right?"

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:13 PM

"Yessir, just out of the academy." *He said, chuckling a little bit as Aaron almost said 'Fascinating'.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:16 PM

"Well, I'm not an ensign. Folks constantly mistake me for a cadet when I'm not in uniform, eh? Can't wait until my long overdue growth spurt." *He rolled around in the water like a seal.* "What's the academy like? I'm five years out."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:20 PM

"Well, the sights are great from there. I loved studying under the trees. Parties were fun, too. But I usually didn't feel to good the next day." *He chuckled.* "I got a few 'Why are you out of uniform?' Reprimands during the later years on my parents' ship. They're both still in the service."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:24 PM

*He chuckled in turn.* "Fun life, eh? My academy years were... interesting to say the least. I was once put on a shuttle back to Vulcan when I was mistaken for an admiral's runaway son." *He stood up on his feet now.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:26 PM

"Really? How did that happen?" *He asked, very intrigued.* "If you don't mind me asking..."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:29 PM

"You see how I look now? Like a human child? I looked exactly the same eight years ago. So, they threw me on the transport because I looked exactly like the admiral's kid down to the birth mark on my right cheek. He only figured out I wasn't who I thought he was when I started showing emotion and replicating baby back ribs from the replicator." *He started laughing.* "It took him that long to figure that out. Y'know Vulcans don't eat meat, right?"

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:31 PM

"Yeah... where are you even from?" *He asked.* "Obviously not Vulcan if you don't follow the teachings. Earth, I assume?"

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:32 PM

"Yes, Texas to be more precise. Where are you from?"

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:36 PM

"Well..." *He started.* "I was 'born' in California, technically. That's a story in and of its self. When I was old enough, I was moved on to my parents' Starship to live there. They said their place was 'out there' so I was dragged along. I appreciate it more now than I did while I was living there. It's really prepared me for service in Starfleet." *He said.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:44 PM

"Interesting. Life on a starship was quite interesting, eh? I never saw a starship until I was sixteen. It was this baby back under construction." *He chuckled and looked at Lucian.* "You're much more prepared than I was."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:45 PM

"I'm still very green when it comes to actually working on a starship." *He said.* "I seem to be making a decent first impression, though. So that's always good."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 08:47 PM

"Yup, that's very good." *He smiled.* "That's interestin'. You know of any pool games? I'm off duty and work's gonna have to stay off my mind, eh?" *He dove under the water, snaking around.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 08:51 PM

"Can't say I do." *He said. Making a face as he attempted to think of something.* "I was thinking of hopping out, actually."

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 09:55 PM

"Hopping out? Alright. Was nice swimmin' with ya."

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 09:57 PM

"Yep. Nice meeting you, Aaron." *He said as he swam over to the steps, exiting the pool and then heading through into the changing rooms.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:25 PM

*Mevi steps in, whistling a jaunty ditty about faith and hearts and doing anything, as is her custom. She looks around, admiring the fact that the ship is well accommodated enough to have a pool on board*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:26 PM

*Some distance away, a Cardassian officer wearing a purple diplomatic division uniform came walking in with a smile on her lips and a bag over her shoulders. She nodded to the Orion once and walked off to change into her swimsuit.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:29 PM

*Mevi nods back at the Cardassian and heads over to find a deck chair, where she can sit down and lounge. She removes the top of her uniform, showing her tanktop and stretches, humming as she sits down and watches the pool and the swimmers*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:31 PM

*She came out shortly in a dark purple two-piece swimsuit, left her things in the locker and slid into the pool, swimming past Mevi. Not as gracefully as one might have wanted but it worked.* (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:34 PM

*Mevi is humming, enjoying the sensation of not having to be at work, and eases into the deck chair, closing her eyes for a moment, allowing the sound of lapping water to lull her*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:35 PM

*When she came back around for a second pass, Ella popped up just at her feet, smiling at the Orion lady. She figured that perhaps it was best that she make a friend.* "Hey there! Not gonna swim?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:38 PM

*Mevi opens her eyes and looks over at the Cardassian. She smiles back, and calls over,* “Not just yet! I’m not quite in the mood. I’m more of a lizard sometimes. If I close my eyes I might be able to imagine I’m in on a beach back in San Fran”

*She realizes the implications of the word lizard to a Cardassian after saying it, but brushes it off. The Ensign would probably know it wasn’t directed at her*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:40 PM

"So you like laying in the sun and warming up." *She smiled cheekily at her.* "That's cool. I do that sometimes too!"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:43 PM

“Pretty much, yeah. It used to get rainy on Orion where I was growing up so I like me some sun. Even if it is artificially generated sun” *Mevi stretches and yawns, easing herself into a more comfortable position in her chair. Should’ve brought a pillow. And her music player. Next time*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:45 PM

*Ella tilted her head at her - and may or may not have turned a darker shade of brown at seeing her figure.* "I like natural sun better, though heated water works just as well..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:52 PM

“Oh nothing beats a proper sun. But then, Starfleet officers can’t be choosers. At least until we get shore leave on a nice planet” *Mevi begins to whistle “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” as she finishes talking, allowing herself to bask* (edited)

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:53 PM

"Can't complain, yeah! Mind some company?" (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 10:53 PM

“Never. Pull up a chair and sit down. No talking about feelings though, I’m off duty”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 10:58 PM

"No feels talk. Only friends." *She promised, getting out of the water and drying herself off before sitting at the next chair over wirh one leg crossed over the other.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:00 PM

“Aren’t you presumptuous, ma’am. I’ve just met you.” *Mevi turns over and grins at her* “I don’t think I did your psych evaluation, did I? What’s your name?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:04 PM

"Ellouina Chet. Diplomatic officer." *She grinned cheekily back at her, tilting her head, which made her reddish hair spill over her shoulders.* "No, I don't think you did, and yes, I am a *little* presumptuous." (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:09 PM

“Nice to meet you, Ensign Chet. Or would you prefer Gul?” *Mevi smiles, impressed at how forward the girl is*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:12 PM

"Ensign Chet will do, although I suppose I don't mind being pushed up a few ranks." *She teased,* "I'd be your superior then, you know that, right?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:14 PM

“Ah, but you’d be a Gul, so not a Starfleet officer. At the very most, I’d have to be very nice and respectful to you when you came to visit” *She cocks her head, sizing the Cardassian girl up*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:17 PM

"Well, yes. Maybe I like that feeling." *She replied with a cheeky smile.* "But for now just ensign or Ella or Ellou is fine."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:25 PM

“Really? Interesting. So you probably wouldn’t mind if I…” *She lets the sentence hang in the air, and then darts to the pool to flick a palmful of water over at Ella*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:25 PM

*Ellou snickered at her, but otherwise didn't react hostilely.* "What was that for?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:34 PM

*Mevi grins from the pool* “Call it a reaction test, Ensign. How would you respond in such a situation?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:36 PM

"I'm not about to kill you, if that's what you're expecting. How about this?" *Smirking, she darted to the pool and tossed a handful of water at Mevi.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:37 PM

*Mevi smiles and crouches, waiting to see if Ella makes any more sudden moves. After the water hits her, she makes a look of mock horror, and then runs over and tackles Ella into the pool, laughing as she does so*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:41 PM

*Color Ellou surprised as she felt herself being tackled into the pool. She let out a yelp of shock as she sailed backwards into the water, entering with a splash. Once she had gotten her bearings she grabbed the Orion by her shoulders, golden eyes narrowing playfully.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:43 PM

*Mevi smiles and pushes her head underwater, to re-emerge and channel a fountain of water at Ella’s face with her mouth*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:44 PM

*For a second she struggled as she was hit in the face - she wasn't really the best of swimmers - but she just about managed to pop back up and splash Mevi's face with water.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Nov-20 11:48 PM

*Mevi splashes her again, this time attempting to corner her to the side of the pool, and not giving too much of a damn about getting her uniform wet*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 23-Nov-20 11:53 PM

*Like an idiot, she swam to the side of the pool and splashed Mevi one more time before grabbing her legs and attempting to pull her in with her.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:05 AM

*Mevi screams as she goes under and play fights with Ella before resurfacing and dragging herself out of the pool, flopping on the side looking like a huge pile of seaweed*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:06 AM

*Ellou instantly popped up from the water and sat down besides her.* "Oh goodness, are you okay? Did I hurt you or anything?" *She asked, genuinely concerned that she'd done something wrong.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:11 AM

*Mevi laughs and flicks a drop of water over at Ella, continuing to lay there like a green whale* “No, no. I’m alright. I haven’t allowed myself to laugh at anything for a while and I think I needed that”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:12 AM

"You're welcome!" *She smiled down at the Orion, blushing lightly - goodness, she was cute- wait, what? Come on, Ella...* "Are you okay otherwise? Why haven't you let yourself laugh at anything?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:14 AM

“Oh, you know. After Commander Ryn left… I was… well, it was rather sudden. Anyway, I ended up taking a couple of months off counseling people to focus on my command training. So it’s been a hot minute and all that” (edited)

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:15 AM

"Oh, I see..." *She smiled sadly.* "I'm glad to have put a smile on your face, Mevi. It makes me feel good too." (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:18 AM

“I appreciate it. Next time I’ll bring my swimsuit” *Mevi hitches her smile back on, trying her best not to let thoughts of Ryn butt in too much* “Thanks for letting me tackle you”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:19 AM

"You're welcome!" *She smiled again, a little more brightly this time.* "I think you needed that little bit of fun too, huh?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:21 AM

“Quite possibly.” *Mevi stands, and heads over to grab a towel, before heading to the doors while drying herself off a bit.* “I’ll be going to go change into something more appropriate for a counselor but thank you, Ella. I’ll see you around”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:23 AM

"Call me?" *She called after her with a giggle.* "I'd love to hang out with you again!" (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Nov-20 12:33 AM

*Mevi is almost at the door, but she turns and looks back over her shoulder* “Sure! We can hang out again!” *She gives a smile and a wave and exits the pool room, toweling her wet hair as she goes*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 24-Nov-20 12:34 AM

*Ella smiled after her and watched her leave before going back to swimming.*

Deleted User 24-Nov-20 11:23 AM

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 01:33 PM

*Zowe had walked out, of the changing room looking down at the clear water of the pool, her mind drifted back to Ella and Mevi, though she said yes she couldn't help but worry, it was her in nature to worry about her partner, she found solitude in swimming this was how she relaxed to try and get a clear mind, she just jumped into the water fully submerging herself.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 01:37 PM

*Cinder walked in a few moments later in a brand new bikini walking in she looked good. Really good and she knew it. Going to a chair she sat her stuff down then laid on it relaxing in the artificial light.*

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 01:41 PM

*Zowe heard the sound of someone, walking into the pool she resurfaced from underwater, looking around for the source of the sound her eye caught Cinder she climbed out of the pool.* "Back from Risa?" *She said walking over.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 01:45 PM

*Cinder looked up and smiled as she tucked hair behind her ear.* “Yeah! We got back like a week ago, I’m missing the sun so I decided to come here. What about you? Where’s Ella?”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 01:50 PM

*Zowe seemed to frown a bit as she sat on the sunbathing chair adjacent to Cinder.* "She's the reason I'm here i needed to clear my head, she's on a date with a Counselor named Mevi, don't get me wrong i said yes to her doing it, but i can't help but worry." (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 01:54 PM

“A date! Are you guys in an open relationship? And like Orion Mevi? I’m so sorry baby. Come here.” *She sits up and holds out her arms.*

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 01:57 PM

"I was caught off guard by the whole thing, so i said yes. " *She stood up and took the hug.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 01:59 PM

*She gives her a hug and pats her on the back.* “You know that I’m in an open relationship. If you want to get back at her I’m here. Or if you just want to cuddle I’m fine with that too.”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 02:06 PM

"Oh uh, I don't know about that, Ella might not have any problems with that, but i don't know if i could handle it myself." *She said pulling away from the hug.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 02:07 PM

“Hey, it’s not like you’re cheating on her. It’s just one time and I’ll do most of the work. Plus it’s payback.”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 02:11 PM

"Just this one time, and only because it makes me even with her." *She sat back down thinking about the whole situation.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 02:16 PM

“Deal. I wouldn’t offer otherwise.”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 02:18 PM

"Alright then, so how does this even work?"

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 02:24 PM

“So one of us flirts like....you have gorgeous eyes Dija” *She reached up and pushed the hair from her face.* “And then you flirt back.”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 02:30 PM

*Zowe still seemed a bit hesitant and shuddered feeling her brown hair be pushed back.* "I could say the same about your eyes or your beautiful green skin." (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 02:56 PM

*She smiled as she looked into her eyes.* “Your place or mine?”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 02:57 PM

"Your place works for me, mine is still a bit messy from moving day."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 03:12 PM

(Im driving

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 03:12 PM

(Okay i can wait)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 04:49 PM

“Sounds perfect. You ready to get your mind blown?”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 04:52 PM

"I think i'm ready for this, though I've never had an Orion before."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 06:03 PM

“Let’s do it.” *She suddenly sat up and kissed her.* “Zowe” (edited)

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 06:07 PM

*Zowe was caught by surprise at this kiss, she turned bright red and raised her hand to Cinders cheek as she closed her eyes.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 06:08 PM

*Cinder smiled into it as she let her hands go through Zowes hair.*

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 06:10 PM

*She leaned into the kiss further, her brown hair parted allowing her hand in.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 06:14 PM

*Cinder couldn’t help herself anymore as she grabbed her pulling her into her lap making her straddle cinders hips as they kissed.*

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 06:20 PM

*Zowe had just accepted being pulled onto the Orion's lap, she pulled back from the kiss opening her eyes.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 06:21 PM

*Cinder let her as she opened her own eyes breathing heavily.* “bedroom?”

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 06:23 PM

"Yes, we can't do it here." *She said putting her hands on Cinders shoulders.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 09-Dec-20 06:31 PM

*Cinder fought the urge to kiss her again as she gathered her things and took her hand as they rushed out.* (Teleport to my quarters?

Barbaric Bread 09-Dec-20 06:31 PM

(Sure)

[Bubble] *She looked around to make sure no one was in before sneaking through the doors, hand in hand with Nazran who was wrapped up in a big comforter. She let out a sigh of relief* “okay. Coast is clear little man” \*she said, pulling her shirt off over her head to reveal her swim suit.

Nazran Ch’ranirh BOT 23-Dec-20 11:47 AM

*He dropped the blanket and made a bed line for the pool* “LEEEEERROOOOYYYY JJJEEENNNKKIOIINNNNNSSSS!!!!” *he yelled, gathering up his legs in his arms and creating a nice splash. He surfaced again a few moments later, shaking water out of his hair and grabbing onto the edge of the pool* “okay that was not my smartest move”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 23-Dec-20 11:51 AM

*She chuckled and went in after them.* "Kid, if you want to make a splash, you'll need to hit the water with a bigger splash." *She pulled off her shirt, showing a pink-lime bikini and she bellyflopped into the water, creating quite the splash.*

Nazran Ch’ranirh BOT 23-Dec-20 11:51 AM

*he let out a shriek of excitement as Sky jumped in* “whoa!!!”
