Ensign Nelyv Etrei 27-May-21 03:15 PM

[Stree]*Streelan was the first to materialize at the bottom of the staircase and look up in amazement.*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 03:15 PM

*he arrived in a cab, since he didnt wanted to beam right in front of the location and soak some of the atmosphere in. he gets out of the cab and adjusts his kimono as he looks to the stairs* "Couldnt leave some hardships out huh?" *he chuckles a bit*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 03:17 PM

Narrator: *It was close to twilight on a beautiful spring day in Japan. Lanterns hung in the trees along the very long staircase. A Japanese greater stood at the bottom directing the newcomers to ascend the stair up to the palace.*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 03:18 PM

*he sighs a bit and looks up* "What you do for your friends." *he grins a bit and starts ascending the steps*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 27-May-21 03:19 PM

[Stree]*Streelan began to ascend behind Jason. Being six foot seven in a tuxedo that was obviously a sliver too choking on his neck made him stand out. Literally.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 03:23 PM

*Alessandra showed up not long after in a colorful huipil dress that went down to her feet, complete with stockings and black heels that clacked against the sidewalk. She had her dark hair tied behind her head with a golden band. She ascended the steps carefully, not quite satisfied with the heels.*

[T] Ensign Pal'Aven BOT 27-May-21 03:24 PM

*he appears also in a cab a bit later, all dressed up already as he looks around* "Man, this is a beautiful location" *he nods a bit and chuckles looking at the stairs.* "Well then, up we go."

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 03:24 PM

*Survol beamed in, simply wearing a dress uniform. It seemed he did not have other outside attire, and nor did he consider it necessary. It was freshly pressed and wrinkle free as always, and he stood off like a statue in a corner, being present out of respect for Commander Vale and taking no logical interest beyond that.*.

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 03:24 PM

*Having been just recently assigned to the Odyssey a week before Aurelia had been busy trying to settle into this new group of co-workers for the past few days. While she hadn't had the chance before to meet anyone due to the fact the crew was on shore leave she jumped at the chance to come and see the wedding of her Captain. She didn't have to know her to be happy at the occasion. Aurelia arrived in a taxi wearing a simple black and white dress. She looked up the stairs to the palace and ascended at a steady pace* "It's beautiful" *She said to no one in particular as she walked*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 03:25 PM

*Ace showed up, having been driving in his moms car. He gets out, his long black hair in a tight bun. He wore a black suit and tie, his mother having insisted on it. He began walking up the stairs, looking around as he went.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:25 PM

*she waited at the actual location, pacing before the entrance a bit nervous* *"God is this normal? I shouldnt panic so much, it isnt worse then fighting on a battlefield"* *she breathes in and out a few times*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 03:26 PM

*Adiral O’Neil can a bit early all dressed up in his formal uniform. He smiled at the others then looked up the stairs...”What!?...they couldn’t of had us all beam up to the top? Oh well, not my wedding not my choice.” He spotted Jane and walked over to her.* “Lieutenant, it’s good to see you. Have the last minute jitters I see?”

[Sci] Lt. JG Avarin BOT 27-May-21 03:26 PM

*Avarin and Derek arrived shortly as well, Avarin was helped out of the cab by Derek, whe was wearing a gold toned dress and robe with her hair up in a twist. While Derek was in a tux.* “They certainly picked a lovely venue,” *She said looking up at the palace.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:27 PM

*she salutes out of relex* "Good day Admiral. Well i decided i wanted to greet the guests, and take a final breath of fresh air before it all goes down" *she nods a bit* "Please, make yourself comfortable inside, there are snacks and light drinks already prepared"

Counselor Derek Sullivan BOT 27-May-21 03:27 PM

“You going to manage the stairs in all that, or should I carry you?” *He teased, leaning close to her ear.*

[D] Lt. JG Talvek Kehron BOT 27-May-21 03:28 PM

*He was beamed to the bottom of the stairs and happily looked around. Yes a wedding! These kind of gatherings had the best display of colors. He bowed at Jane and began to walk up the stairs in his black and grey attire.*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 03:30 PM

@Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard (<@!190248367714992128>) - [jump *He smiled and motioned her to take big deep breaths.* “Everything’s going to be fine Lieutenant. This is your day. Cant have you passing out on.” *He chuckled.* “You waiting for the Commander?”

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:31 PM

"The commander is already inside. Some final distance before we arent seperable anymore." *she smiles* "Besides i heard its bad luck to see the bride in their dress before the wedding." *she smirks a bit*

Ensign Varlex 27-May-21 03:39 PM

*varlex bubbles in wearing his formal uniform seeing he doesnt have anything else proper. On his shoulder would be his badger. He just finds a seat and sits down and waits*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 03:39 PM

*Several Klingons, a betaklingon and a betazoid woman with false limbs filed in behind a few andorians one small old woman even being carried by old of the others.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 03:41 PM

*Alessandra raised an eyebrow at the Klingons. She hadn't spoken to anyone of her father's species before, but decided to ignore it. For now, she was focused on finding the refreshments.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:41 PM

*she greets the incoming guests and smiles brightly as her mood lifts bit by bit*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 03:42 PM

*he finishes the steps and huffs a bit, looking around* "Wow, the location is beautiful." *he grins a bit and heads inside the temple/palace building*

[T] Ensign Pal'Aven BOT 27-May-21 03:43 PM

*he grins and looks around in awe as he looks around the place* "Wow, this looks amazing." *he nods and makes some mental notes to take pictures later*

[Sci] Lt. JG Avarin BOT 27-May-21 03:44 PM

*Avarin gave Derek A Look, and ignored his little comment. After a moment she began ascending the steps, Derek behind her. Worrying as usual.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 03:45 PM

*After entering inside the palace Aurelia after looking at the building in awe on the inside went to the refreshments table and poured herself a glass of fruit punch.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 27-May-21 03:47 PM

*Nim appeared in a soft blue dress with a floor length fluffy skirt. Her hair was in long and loose curls with a silver circlet of leaves. She beamed at Jane when she spotted her.* “Congratulations Lieutenant Sheppard,” *She said, hurrying over in a swirl of airy blue fabric.* (edited)

[D] Ensign Ryan Gold BOT 27-May-21 03:47 PM

*Gold would have invited himself! but he doesn't feel that would be a problem as he's followed by a four of equally snazzy dressed men, their suits black and white while gold wears a white and black suit with a slightly tilted white fedora on his head which had a small red feather atached to it. ofcourse gold didn't come empty handed! no no, he was lightly loaded with a simply bottle of fine red wine while two out of the four men behind him are pushing hand-trucks filled with presents for the wedding couple* *they however go to stand more at the side and let the invited guest in first*

1

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:47 PM

*she smiles widely* "Thank you Doctor Drex." *she nods a bit* "You look fabulous, if i may say so."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 27-May-21 03:50 PM

*She laughed.* “Thank you, you look lovely yourself. And the venue you’ve chosen is just beautiful!” *She said, looking up at the palace.* (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 03:50 PM

*vale paced in the side room the ring box in her hand and vine trying to calm her down by tangling itself in her braid with mixed results. Vine had decided to come along despite what Vale had wanted. She had decided it was best not to stand outside and have people file past her as she waited because of T’pels condition and how she hand to limit her time around crowds. This side room was set up insulated as a quiet room for telepaths and empaths as well. T’Pel probably wasn’t going to be the only one using it.*

1

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 03:51 PM

*Ace makes it to the top and moves silently inside, nodding to people as he passes. He goes over to the refreshments and grabs a drink.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:52 PM

"Thanks doc, my soon to be wife pulled some strings for this location." *she rubs the back of her head* "It really is beautiful here."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 27-May-21 03:53 PM

“It really is, I’ll leave you to greet your other guests, but again congratulations,” *She smiled brightly before making her way up the stairs.* (edited)

Ensign Isha 27-May-21 03:53 PM

*Isha beams down in a long green dress, she constantly adjusts her wings and rubs her fuzz trying to appear as presentable as possible. She smiles and walks over to a free spot to stand* "Wow, such an amazing thing...I still don't understand marriage though but i am happy"

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 03:54 PM

*Cerred appeared outside and looked around at the scenery in awe. He was a little wide eyed as he made his way through slowly to take a seat, smoothing his hair back into its pony tail.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:55 PM

*she grins a bit* "That is no problem Ensign Isha, i am happy that you are here" *she nods and continues to meet and greet*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 03:57 PM

@Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard (<@!190248367714992128>) - [jump “Hahhah yes. Well I’ll head on up and let you greet the guests. I’ll do so from above.” *He pointed up at the stairs and began to climb.*

Ensign Isha 27-May-21 03:58 PM

*Isha smiles back to Jane* "I understand its for mateing rituals. And i believe my gift is good" *She pulls something from behind her. A box with a collection of candels* "I made them myself, litteral. Kalith wax, they are supposed to be very durable, one can last a month without a brake."

2

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 03:59 PM

*her eyes sparkle a bit* "Oh my god they are beautiful." *she smiles widely* "Thank you very much."

Dr. Rownan Ch’ranirh BOT 27-May-21 04:01 PM

*Rownan sparkled at the bottom of the stairs.* “Wow....it’s all the way up there?” *He looked over at Jane and gave her a smile.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 04:02 PM

*Alessandra stood to the side not far from jane, a moderately sized box in her hands. Presumably, this was a wedding gift.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:03 PM

"Well yes, the only downside of this place, but the view on top is amazing." *she grins a bit to row and looks to the Yeoman* "We havent met yet. Jane Sheppard." *she extends her hand to greet her*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 04:04 PM

"Alessandra de la Cavalleria; I'm the Yeoman on board." *She tucked the box under her arm to shake the bride-to-be's hand.* "Sorry if my wedding gift isn't up to snuff. It's really the only thing thing I'm good at."

Dr. Rownan Ch’ranirh BOT 27-May-21 04:04 PM

*Seeing how Jane is probably going to be bombarded with people he decided to head up and congratulate her at the after party.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:05 PM

*she shakes her hand* "Nice to meet you Alessandra de la Cavalleria. And hey, every gift that comes from the heart is a good gift." *she nods*

Ensign Varlex 27-May-21 04:05 PM

*Varlex takes his chance to head over to jane and offer her a phaser pistol! set on stun* "It is time.." *He says with a smirk* (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 04:06 PM

"Hopefully." *She handed her the box; inside were pair of Adepta Sororitas Battle Sister models, expertly painted and assembled, and no doubt meant to represent the pair. There were others in there of various factions and allegiances, but the Sororitas stood out.* "Feel free to let your kids play with them or use them as paperweights or something."

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:08 PM

*she looks into the box* "Oh my god, did you make them yourself? They are gorgeous, thank you very much." *she grins a bit* "They will find a suitable place, i will take good care of them." *she nods a bit and looks to Varlex* "If you want me to use that, you better think twice, i am full on nice today." *she smirks and takes the pistol anyway, putting it towards her back to carry it safely*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 04:09 PM

"You're welcome. I like to make these things for fun, so it's no matter to me." *She handed the box over to Sheppard.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:10 PM

*she takes the box* "You must have skilled hands to make these, the work on the detail is amazing\*

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 04:10 PM

*Cerred looked around at the outside again, adjusting his jacket a little. Mattie had managed to help him find a nice suit with some silver accents and a black tie with shiny skulls on it. It wasn't the craziest of outfits but he liked it.*

Ensign Varlex 27-May-21 04:10 PM

"I owe you one...but perhaps after the ceremony would be more suitable...or during when you both say 'yes'..some good old starfleet drama ey?" *he then looks over at yeaman for a moment before his focus goes back to jane* (edited)

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 04:11 PM

*She approached Jane with a smile on her face and a small jewel case in her hand waiting for the others to finish their conversation*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:12 PM

"Well i deserved that shot, i wont hold it against you...today at least." *she smirks to varlex*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 04:12 PM

"Thanks. Feel free to call upon me anytime you need things painted." *With a nod the Half-Klingon moved away, making a beeline for the refreshment table.*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 04:15 PM

*Ace notices that gifts are being handed to Jane and assumes she’s one of the brides. He makes his way over and waits his turn to speak, two shiny paper wrapped objects in his hand.*

Ensign Varlex 27-May-21 04:15 PM

"their is always an after party" *he then slaps jane unto her shoulder quite harshly* "but this is your day! not as glorious as a military promotion but a day like this seems to make every human i know happy when expierncing it, so enjoy it" *he then looks over at the other guests and moves on without saying another word* (edited)

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:17 PM

*she chuckles at his comment and then looks to Aurelia* "Hey, i believe we havent met either so far. Jane Sheppard." *she grins and also looks to ace, grinning*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 04:19 PM

”Ace Thorn, ma’am. Pleasure to meet you. I haven’t known you for long so I just got you something simple.”*He holds out the two packages. Inside are two different books. One is a copy of “A Tale of Two Cities” and the other is “Old Yeller”.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:21 PM

*she grins and takes the books* "Thank you very much." *she looks at the books* "Its strange to see actual books in our age, we will treasure them." *she nods to him smiling*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 04:21 PM

*Much to T'Pel's dismay, the arrive exactly 5.2 minutes late, and she was almost dragging Sa'val behind her. Hand held firmly in hers.* *Once through the door, she stopped and calmed, smoothing out her dress and sweeping a few strands of her curls out of her face.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 04:22 PM

*Vale opened the door to the side room and beckoned T’Pel her way.*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 04:23 PM

”Of course. I’ve never been to a wedding before. This place is quite interesting to observe.”

Counselor Mevi Wyse 27-May-21 04:23 PM

*Mevi came in in a simple looking dress, conservative but well fitted. She had a small amount of makeup on, and quietly walked through the room, looking for anybody she might know.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:24 PM

"Well take your time and look around." *she nods a bit and waves to Tpel and to mevi* "Hello, good that you could make it." *she grins*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 04:25 PM

*She responded politely \* "Yes of course, I recently got assigned to the Odyssey a few days ago. I'm Ensign Aurelia Angelica, medical." \*She took out the case and handed it to her.* "I know I don't know any of you but I know first impressions are essential to a good relationship so here. It's a jeweled cross I received from a friend when I was working on the frontier."

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:26 PM

*she looks at the cross in awe* "Its beautiful. Are you sure you want to gift it?" *she looks to her smiling widely* "I imagine it is a keepsake."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 04:26 PM

*T'Pel saw Vale wave her over and she gave a nod, leaning over to kiss Sa'val on the cheek before trotting off.* "My apologies for my tardiness, Vale. I had a difficult time walking in the heels I replicated so I had to go back for a change of footwear. I figured you would not mind combat boots? I can find something else if you prefer."

2

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 04:29 PM

“I dont mind at all. I actually think thats perfect.” *Vale smiled and gave T’pel some room.* “This rooms been insulated so it can be used as a quiet room for telepaths and empaths so if things get too much this is safe for you.”

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 04:30 PM

"No it's just something he found and gave to me as a...how do I say. A courting gift." *she chuckled* "I politely declined but he told me to give it to someone who deserves it. I lord knows that you and the commander deserve a happy relationship."

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:32 PM

*she was moved by her story and grins* "I thank you very much." *she nods and bows a bit* "Please, make yourself comfortable inside"

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 04:32 PM

*Ace then turned around and wandered away to find a corner to people watch from.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 04:34 PM

*She smiled and nodded and preceded inside*

[D] Ensign Ryan Gold BOT 27-May-21 04:36 PM

*Gold and his team would stroll up to jane, seeing everybody else is going their, he offers her the bottle he is carrying while saying* "Congratulations miss jane, hope this day will be one you'll never forget" *he then gestures backwards towards the men that had the carts with presents* "I'm just trying my part in making it so..I hope it's okay we leave them here? or would you want us to transport them up the stairs?"

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:39 PM

*she looks at the cart of presents and at his men and then to gold himself* "Well, you are the most unusuall aquaintance i made so far, but it is alright if you park them here for now." *she takes the bottle and grins* "We very much appreciate the gift from you. You must be Ensign Gold. I guess the lastname isnt just a name huh?" *she chuckles a bit* "Please, make yourself comfortable inside."

[D] Ensign Ryan Gold BOT 27-May-21 04:43 PM

he gives her a humble chuckle before he says "My father made sure of that but yes i'm ensign Ryan gold, however you can call me ryan if you want! we are not in an official setting after all" he then gives her a small bow "Thank you and i will..i'm just glad this isn't a naked betazoid wedding" he then looks over his shoulder and gives a small nod to his men before looking back at jane "we shall see you at the alter" he tips his fedora before he seemingly transport himself and his team untop of the stairs, leaving the presents behind where they stood before (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 04:43 PM

*T'Pel's brows raised and she wasn't quite to the point of being able to completely mask the emotion in her eyes,* "I appreciate it. Though this is your and Jane's day. Do not concern yourself with me. I am certain your elation will be enough to keep me...even."

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 04:46 PM

*she chuckles a bit* "You can call me Jane then. Have fun and play nice with the other guests good Sir." *she nods and looks after him and his own little party* *"Well, the diversity of our crew really shows here"*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 04:56 PM

“Elation? No one warned me of the nervousness...” *Vale then very carfully handed over the box with the ring in in it for Jane.* \*The ring for Jane. Once rings are asked for hand it straight to Jane and dont try it on... just not a good idea.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 05:03 PM

*T'Pel took the box and quirked a brow, smirking slightly,* "Even I know this sort of thing involves nervousness. Quite a change from your usual confident demeanor. Also...is there something with the ring? Not that I would ever presume to try it on."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 05:06 PM

“Yes there is. And yes we did discuss it beforehand so mine will do the same thing... but yes it does something.” *Vale tried to force herself not to pace and though she didn’t want to today she put in her earpieces set to a warp core simulation sound.* “Thank you for being here... I dont know how much of a state I’d be in without you. You are still an island of calm.”

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 05:06 PM

*Survol approached T'Pel and Vale and whoever else was around them, walking as robotically as ever and having the flat expression on his face he always had.* "Greetings. I hope shore leave has gone well for you. Congratulations, commander."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 05:07 PM

*Sparkle sparkle. Mayott had arrived, was he late? He wasn’t sure but he spotted Jane and headed towards her.* “Lieutenant you look nice. Everything alright?”

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 05:08 PM

*she nods* "I am alright Lieutenant." *she chuckles a bit* "Just greeting the guests as they come before it all starts."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 05:08 PM

“Thank you Survol. I made sure you still got an invite.” *Vale smiled trying to keep her nervousness to somewhat low levels.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 05:10 PM

*He looked at the pile of gifts. His own two little ones tucked away in his pocket.* “Do you need help carrying them all up the stairs?”

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 05:10 PM

"That will be alright, the staff will get them up." *she chuckles a bit*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 05:25 PM

*Ace stood in the corner with a cup of water, silently observing the room.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 05:26 PM

“Alright then, I’ll accompany you up the stairs.” *When the passed the gifts he placed his two small packages in the pile and started up the stairs.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 05:27 PM

*she nods* "Well thank you. I hope everyone is already here, got down here a bit late." *she grins a bit and looks to the staff, nodding to the gifts as they grin and nod back*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 05:36 PM

*T'Pel almost chuckled, as she covered her mouth, the box still in her hand. Her head was feeling a tad swimmy, but likely due to a developing empathic high.* "You are kind. However, I do have to ask..." *T'Pel lowered her voice and leaned in, her dark eyes glittery with curiosity,* "What are the rings supposed to do?" *She looked to Survol and gave a nod, the remnants of a smirk still on her lips.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 05:40 PM

*Vale looked to Survol then said.* “Sorry I cant tell you that.”

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 05:41 PM

"Ahh, pardon my interruption." *Whether the cue was there or not, he stepped back to allow the women their privacy, putting up the Vulcan hand salute as he did so before blending into the background.*.

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 05:42 PM

*The staff began to carry the gifts as the two walked on.* “Don’t worry about everyone else, you have every right to be self centered today.”

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 05:45 PM

"I know i know, but i took the chance to also get some room to breathe a bit." *she nods a bit* "To cool down."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 05:47 PM

*Vale spoke low as she explained.* “The rings will leave tattoos with each other’s names so theres a sign of our union even when on duty and its impractical to wear rings.”

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 05:49 PM

“I’m glad you did.” *He was reminded of how nervous he was at his own wedding. The day off he was so snappy with everyone and was a bundle of raw nerves. He apologized afterwards for his behavior but completely understands how irrational one can act during their own wedding.*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 05:50 PM

*O’Niel was at the top, around the food tables, walking around to make sure everything was going well. This wasn’t even his wedding and he felt responsible to make sure people were comfortable. The things he does for this crew.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 05:51 PM

*she nods a bit* "Well i guess i have to get dressed now, so that i am ready on time." *she grins a bit* "Please, make yourself comfortable, the crew is almost there in force."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 05:52 PM

*T'Pel's sharp brows rose,* "Oh, I see. Tattoos? That sounds...romantic. I have never understood the jewelry aspect other cultures have, but tattoos do seem more appropriate." *For a fleeting moment her attention span pondered Sa'val's name in Vulcan Calligraphy wrapped around her finger. She had to of blushed because her cheeks warmed, but she push it back. This was Vale's day and she had to focus.* "Is there anything I can do to help alleviate your nervousness?" (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 05:52 PM

*Alessandra was still off to the side, sipping from a glass. It seemed she hadn’t interacted with many people yet.*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 05:53 PM

*he sat on a chair at a window and looked across the yard of the palace, a drink in his hand*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 05:57 PM

“I’m not sure...” *she took off her jacket to reveal the klingon style wedding dress. She was ready for this at lest partly but mentally things were different.* “I need... I need to calm down before I take the heels off these shoes or something.”

*once in the mainhall, gold and his crew would have made it weirdly towards a shrine, where he places a small statue (that of Okuninushi-no-Mikoto the god of love), he stands with a straight back and claps twice, once done that he seemingly bows with his palms toghetter in the traditional Japanese as he gives a prayer towards the god, he then straighens up again for a moment before he bows yet again and then FINALY he starts to act normal and he starts mingling with the lads who are following him everywhere, taking back the stattue shortly after he forgot it*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard *she nods a bit* "Well i guess i have to get dressed now, so that i am ready on time." *she grins a bit* "Please, make yourself comfortable, the crew is almost there in force."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 06:04 PM

“Yes ma’am.” *He smiled and headed off to mingle with the rest of the crew. The place was beautiful. Earth sure does have an amazing array of cultures.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 06:05 PM

"Here...perhaps some pressure point therapy will help." *T'Pel stood behind Vale, her fingers pressing firmly but gently into key points in her back and shoulders,* "I also hear rhythmic breathing helps. I have to admit, I am confused to why people get nervous. Perhaps my own ignorance. You and Jane have been sharing a life together for a while now. Nothing is really changing. Is it the *official culmination* that has hightened this feeling for you?" (edited)

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-May-21 06:06 PM

*Jules walked in with his three piece suit and walked around, looking for people to talk to. He smiled and nodded to those in the distance for respect, the writer is making Jules have a precense but is busy*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 06:08 PM

*she nods and leaves mayott to the guidance of the gods as she heads up to her room where arian was already waiting on her* "I am sorry, guests held me up." *she chuckles a bit while arian complains a bit and then helps jane in her dress and binds it propperly* "You look amazing in your traditional dress Arian. And thank you for staying by my side for this. You have the ring?" *she nods and holds the box up smiling*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 06:10 PM

*Vale stood still at the touch and tried to stay as calm as possible. Oddly after the initial shock of someone other than Jane touching her she did feel more calm.* “You will... you will understand soon enough I think. You and Sa’val are so close already.”

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 06:16 PM

*A bit late to the party, Ryn and Aram appeared at the bottom of the stairs in the distinctive shimmer of the transporter. Ezarah looked at the view with interest. Starting with physical activity. How fitting, considering who was getting married today. Her doctors weren't going to take that well at all.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 06:17 PM

*Cerred was still people watching and wandering around quietly. Where was Mattie? Or anyone he could just talk to. He had no idea what he was doing.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 06:17 PM

*T'Pel toyed with that thought though it led into a memory that was not hers.* *It was a bonding ceremony. Her counterparts. T'Pel paused in her massage a moment and frowned. That T'Pel had Ben nervous but it was the show of it that had made it so.* *She pulled out of it and pushed it away insistent on ignoring it. Her hands resuming their attention,* "Perhaps. I am sure once you and Jane have made it official, the nervousness will pass."

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 06:21 PM

*he walks to the buffet and looks around* "Well good thing the place is so spacious, a church might have been too small for all of us here."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 06:22 PM

“I’m sure...” *Vale did calm down some and T’pel may be able to sense that but carfully Vale made sure she could sense how thankful she was that T’pel was there and helping.*

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 06:29 PM

*Garland had arrived after a while, ruffling his hair some and slipping on his poncho, it was dark green with a toned down pattern on it but still had some colours like one usually wore during a wedding. He placed a hand wrapped box on the table with a frame holding a pressed flower from the Amazon. Nestor was snuggled up into a little pocket he'd sewn into the poncho for the leaf.*

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 06:29 PM

*Rydel looked at the stairs, but did not consider a little exercise to be too much of a threat to the symbiont, or he would have stated such. He waited for her, giving a slight nod of approval in case she required it before starting up the steps himself, careful to stay slow enough to keep pace with her.* "If you feel anything wrong at all. Tell me. We don't have to rush anything." *He certainly was not going to make any scene about this assignment at a wedding of all things. Do his job, hope O'Neil would have some mercy, and go home.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 06:36 PM

"I am glad I can assist you." *T'Pel answered softly, continuing her massage, but softer now Vale's nerves had calmed.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 06:37 PM

*Mostly she was thankful that he wasn't trying to stop her from going up the stairs. That was not a look she wanted to present to her crew. Ezarah would have taken them slowly anyway, because if there was one thing someone shouldn't do in a long dress and heels, it was rush up a narrow stairway.* "Noted," *She said quietly, starting the climb.* "You know, contrary to what every doctor seems to think of Starfleet Captains, I don't want to die in a blaze of glory while denying there was ever a problem. I've been a doctor before, and that mindset never helped anyone. If there's a problem, you'll be the first to know."

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 06:39 PM

*Survol walked around until he saw a fretting Cerred, acknowledging his friend with a direct glance and stilted walk over to him. It was clear to him the awkwardness on his fellow's face, and Survol canted his head curiously.* "Greetings, Ensign King. Is all well?"

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 06:41 PM

*she sits down on a chair, making sure her dress was fine and leans against arian* "So this is it huh? The end of one road and the beginning of a new one?" *arian nods and reassures her all will go fine and well, and that she will laugh later on at her nervousness*

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 06:42 PM

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine I just.....I have no clue what I'm doing. Ive never been to a wedding before so like....yeah. also, Mattie was supposed to come with but I haven't seen her yet. Anyway, how are you?"

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 06:47 PM

*Hands still clasped behind his back because he didn't want to be fidgeting with his suit and tie, Rydel ascended the stairs at her pace, pretty good at keeping it looking natural while walking with her. When she mentioned she'd been a doctor, his face tightened.* "How many hosts have you gone through?" *Probably not the most polite way to phrase the question but that's how it came out.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 07:02 PM

"I'm the sixth," *the reply came easily. The question didn't bother her in the least. As they went up the stairs, Ezarah let her fingers trace lightly on the handrail, the other hand occupied with holding up her skirts. That way, she could easily grip it for stabilization if necessary. Thankfully, she felt fine. This pace worked well.* "My last host, Dezra, was a doctor. Though her knowledge is slightly out of date now."

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 07:03 PM

*Aurelia honestly wasn't much of a talker. She very much liked watching everyone else mingle and be happy for each other and themselves, but she also did notice during the social events that she had gone to there was always a few people who seemed to drift away from it all. She pietyed them and often went out of her way to make a connection. Thats how she made the friends she had now. Aurelia with a glass of punch in her hand noticed Garland and decided to go talk to him after pouring another glass for him if he chose to accept it.* "Hi, I got a extra glass of punch and I need someone to share it with" *she said to Garland with a playful smile*

2

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 07:03 PM

*Ace continued to watch people filter in, settling down to stand in the corner the whole time. He had no issue with standing still for long periods of time so he assumed people wouldnt notice his being there.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 07:04 PM

*After Mayott walked around the main large room he mostly kept to himself while admiring all the decorations. This was a time of joy, and he was happy for the couple, just not in the mood to hold large conversations. He passed Ace standing in the corner and nodded at him.*

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 07:08 PM

"I am positive she will arrive if she gave you her word she would. I had a cultural experience with females 'trying on clothes' and it is my understanding they often care to take an illogical amount of time working on such matters." *Survol scanned the room as more people began to arrive.* "I am in good health." (edited)

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 07:11 PM

*Pax came skittering in, done up to the nines. Damn it, she’d gotten distracted by her trees then her dress. Which was embarrassing, but hopefully her gift made up for it.*

4

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 07:11 PM

"I see." *There wasn't much more he could say without losing it at her, which he wasn't about to do in public. All the same, Rydel watched her out the corner of his eye, for medical purposes, of course. The amount of steps seemed excessive to him, but it did add to the majesty of the ambiance.* "My plan is to be a wallflower and keep out of your hair. I don't know these people and I'm sure it would be more than irritating to have some doctor lingering at your side all evening."

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 07:12 PM

*Streelan hadn't brought a single thing save himself. That and not knowing anyone at the reception made things all the more awkward for him. The poor Kelpien wound up simply shaking like a leaf. Almost.*

Dr. Rownan Ch’ranirh BOT 27-May-21 07:13 PM

*He happily walked around living in the magic wonder of a wedding. This was his first, he’s ever seen one and wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but he was so happy for Jane and Vale.*

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 07:20 PM

*Vidira looked around trying to spot anyone familiar, she wasn’t in her element at events like this.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 27-May-21 07:23 PM

(Mattie) *Mattie adjusted the teal skirt that gripped high on her waist, smoothing out the front as she looked around for her date. They'd partially agreed to meet up in chat, but so much had happened between then and now, she almost wondered if the poor kid thought she was a flake. Pulling out her PADD, she sent him a quick message, hoping to find him a bit easier.* (edited)

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 07:24 PM

"You could meet people and try to enjoy yourself?" *She suggested as they reached the top of the stairs and faced the venue. Ezarah paused for a moment to get a good look at it.* "There is always the chance that our gambit with the admiral will fail, and you'll have to remain on board the ship for the foreseeable future. It will be more bearable for you with friends." *She had no idea why he disliked her so, but things would only improve if he was in a better mood.* *Ryn noticed Pax entering behind them, and shot her old friend a smile.*

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 07:27 PM

@M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica (<@!226526243363749890>) - [jump *Garland looked over at the woman and blinked, smiling a little. He felt a little relieved and took the glass with a smile.* "I can share with you if you like. I take it you don't drink either?"

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge (Mattie) *Mattie adjusted the teal skirt that gripped high on her waist, smoothing out the front as she looked around for her date. They'd partially agreed to meet up in chat, but so much had happened between then and now, she almost wondered if the poor kid thought she was a flake. Pulling out her PADD, she sent him a quick message, hoping to find him a bit easier.* (edited)

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 07:29 PM

*Cerred looked at his padd when it pinged and blinked, seeing a message from Mattie. He quickly typed a reply to say he was outside on the bridge with Survol.*

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 07:29 PM

*Pax froze, the mingling crowd parting like something out of a cheesy movie as Ezarah smiled at her. She was ok, she was upright, and smiling, and ok. She smiled back brightly, and made her way over.* “Look at you, that colour is stunning on you,” *She said, giving her friend a once over.* “And I love what you’ve done with your hair, it’s softer like that,” *She said, grinning again.*

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 07:29 PM

*Streelan decided to simply slip into the crowd and disappear. He wasn't good with crowds either and socializing was hard for him as it'd always been. Maybe he wouldn't be noticed or at least receive less attention than others that way, not that it was possible at 6'7".*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 27-May-21 07:30 PM

(Mattie) *Mattie nodded, typed that she would be coming over to bust the party up or maybe make it better of it was just Survol, and tucked her PADD away to head over to the bridge.* (edited)

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 07:31 PM

*Cerred tucked the PADD in his pocket and looked out at the water again. He felt relief flood him about not being stood up. Friend or not, getting stood up would hurt like hell.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 07:31 PM

*Aurelia handed the drink to him and shook her head* "No, not usually. Alcohol brings the devil out of people, but sometimes I partake maybe one glass of a light drink." *She smiled and extended her hand.* "Ensign Aurelia Angelica"

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 07:31 PM

*he looks across the room over the gathering masses* *"Thank the gods that we made it back. Or what ever entity is responsible for us to find our one string of luck out there."* *he finishes his drink and chuckles*

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 07:33 PM

*Of course the first person Ryn would greet would be one of the other Trill. He'd recalled Pax, of course, but the conglomeration of multiple of the symbionts served to make him uncomfortable, quieting himself rather quickly, but forcing a smile to Pax anyway in acknowledgement as to try not to be rude.*

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 07:33 PM

*Survol quirked a brow at Cerred.* "I take your expressions and subsequent release of tension to mean she will be arriving soon."

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 07:35 PM

@M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica (<@!226526243363749890>) - [jump "Me neither. Alcohol makes me want to fight and thats not good. So I'll happily be sober tonight with you," *He smiled a little and shook her hand.* "Enaign Garland Hunter."

Lt. Survol *Survol quirked a brow at Cerred.* "I take your expressions and subsequent release of tension to mean she will be arriving soon."

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 07:35 PM

"Yeah. I mean.....its probably illogical but do you blame me for being worried?"

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 07:40 PM

"Nice to meet you Garland." *She took a sip of her punch* "And I have to say I really love your hair. I've seen a few people that have something similar but I've never got the chance to ask how they did it."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 27-May-21 07:41 PM

*Mattie appeared soon after, giving Cerred an excited wave of hello before quickly embracing him as she briskly walked across the bridge.* "There he isss!~ Sorry I'm late punkin- hope you understand? It was a mess finding a dress that hadn't already been replicated on the ships index. But lookityooooou~ So snazzy in your lil pinstripes!~" *She crooned, pulling him away to tighten his tie and fix his lapel.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 07:41 PM

"One night only. It took far too long to prepare, and I don't think it would look as nice with my uniform. You look wonderful as well." *Her smile had widened when Pax came over, but Ezarah noticed Aram shrinking again out of the corner of her eye. The wallflower plan, of course.* "This is Doctor Rydel Aram, my companion for the evening. I've been paroled from sickbay, but I'm not quite free of them yet."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 07:42 PM

*Allesandra stood a few feet away from the woman she assumed was the captain, awkwardly sipping her drink. The Half-Klingon was patiently waiting her turn to speak.*

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 07:43 PM

*He blinked and raised a hand up to touch his hair, ruffling it a little bit. All he'd done was put a dark green headband in, washed yhe twigs and dirt out, and tried to nice it up with a pick.* "Thanks, it's just natural."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 27-May-21 07:43 PM

*From the position next to the bar she had found, Mevi was perched on a seat, looking over the proceedings, a glass of genuine champagne in her hand. It had been refilled several times over and she was making a strong effort not to go and interrupt Ezarah and… whomever that other Trill was. The temptation was growing, however.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 07:44 PM

*Cerred waved in response and hugged her back with a grin, giggling some.* "It's alright. You look amazing! And you really like it? Do you think the tie and pocket square is too much? I've never really worn formal clothes besides my dress uniform."

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 07:47 PM

"It would be illogical to blame you for your nature." *Survol said, when Mattie arrived, he stepped back, giving a cordial nod to both of them.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 07:47 PM

"Oh mine too!" *she exclaimed as she ran through her own hair* "Oh, well I do try to keep it maintained and healthy as possible but I try not to add any chemicals or coloring to it. So far I am fine with it, but sometimes I wake up in the morning and just feel like its too bland."

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 07:49 PM

"Same. Though being one of the arboretum goblins means there's usually dirt or twigs in my hair. But it s still soft and bouncy anyway." *He chuckled and ruffled his curls a bit.*

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 07:50 PM

@Captain Ezarah Ryn - jump *She swished her skirt a little.* “Thank you, I agonized over the colour for far too long. Actually we’ve kind of switched palettes for the evening. I’m in red and you’re in blue!” *Vidira chuckled.* *When Ryn pointed out Dr. Aram Vidira gave him a polite nod, the commander’s wedding was **not** where she would’ve liked to have found out Ezarah was awake. But it also wasn’t the place to pick that fight.* “They sent you with a chaperone?” *She snorted.* “Or is he a body guard? They’re always fun to have around. Well at least when you’re ditching them,” *She grinned, and impish glint in her eye.* “Though that would probably upset Dr. Drax, and she seems quite nice,”

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 07:51 PM

*Ace decided to wander and started moving around the room, looking at all the people. He kept his drink close to his chest so he didn’t spill it on somebody.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 07:53 PM

"Arboretum goblins?" *She raised a brow and had a smirk on her face* "Botanist, Bioenginner? Planet suitor?" *She chuckled at the last part*

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 07:53 PM

*In his wandering he crossed the Ace's path, possibly casting a shadow over him.*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 07:53 PM

*Ace looked up.*”oh. Hello there.”*He greeted politely, not even dazed by the height difference between them.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 27-May-21 07:55 PM

*Nim spotted her beloved orion at the bar, and glided up to her side.* “You looked beautiful Imzadi,” *She cooed, putting her arm around Mevi’s waist and kissing her cheek.* *She ordered a glass of wine from the bartender, and took a sip.* “How are you liking the party so far? I think it’s wonderful, everyone is so cheerful and excited,”

Dr Larkin BOT 27-May-21 07:55 PM

*Larkin had arrived, Sara on his arm, as he began to lead her up the long staircase. For a moment he thought of scooping her up and carrying her to the top, but his conscience told him not to.* *Though, not too long after they made it to the rest of the guests.*

Lt. JG Cerred King *Cerred waved in response and hugged her back with a grin, giggling some.* "It's alright. You look amazing! And you really like it? Do you think the tie and pocket square is too much? I've never really worn formal clothes besides my dress uniform."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 27-May-21 07:55 PM

"Oh honey, if looks could **kill**. Very smart, very sharp~" *She hummed, finally releasing him, but not before messing with his hair, not unlike an overbearing mother primping her son for his first prom. At least she didn't lick her thumb and wipe his cheek.* "And Mr. Survol, looking ever perfectly coordinated, pressed and stitched together~"

Narrator BOT 27-May-21 07:56 PM

*A deep gong rings through the palace, a sign that everyone is to now take their seats since the services are about to begin.*

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 07:56 PM

*Rydel did his best to maintain his pleasant and political smile through her soft prodding about the chaperoning.* "I will do my best to keep her out of trouble. Though it sounds like a schedule might help do that for us." *He motioned toward the seats, grateful for a reprieve.*

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 07:57 PM

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 07:57 PM

"Thank you. I do my best to maintain uniform regulations as per code 34b paragraphs two and seven." *Survol then held up the Vulcan salute and headed toward his seat as directed.*

@M] Ensign Ace Thorn. (<@!825457290910892082>) - [jump "Hello." *Streelan sounded awkward - mostly because he was. Blame being horrid at socializing all his life.* "I'm ensign Streelan. Tactical officer." *He did not stick out a hand to be shaken. He understood Vulcans and their touch telepathy and as such how sacred their hands technically were.* "You?"

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 07:59 PM

@T]Ensign Streelan (<@!588417174171811860>) - [jump ”Ace Thorn, Medical. I would talk more but we do need to talk our seats.”*He does the Vulcan salute and moves to find his seat.*

[M] Ensign Aurelia Angelica BOT 27-May-21 08:00 PM

"Oh reall-" *she heard the chime* "Its time! I'm so excited" *She went to find a seat and sit down*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 08:00 PM

*he grins and walks over to the captain* "Ah, good that you could make it, i hope the stairs werent too much." *he nods to Pax and the Doc* "Ensign Pax, good to see you. And you must be the doctor that helped patching up our Captain. Thank you for that."

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 08:00 PM

"Indeed." *He trotted off to find a seat, which he did, at the edge of the crowd and away from most of the others.*

Dr Larkin *Larkin had arrived, Sara on his arm, as he began to lead her up the long staircase. For a moment he thought of scooping her up and carrying her to the top, but his conscience told him not to.* *Though, not too long after they made it to the rest of the guests.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 27-May-21 08:00 PM

*For this? She was very thankful. However upon hearing the gong, she quickened her pace to an almost trot, hurrying among the guests to get inside the temple and not be late, darn it, she could have shaved off twenty minutes if she'd just let her hair down and didn't insist on braiding it up into an updo! Dummy.* "We are not late but it seems we missed the mingling.." *She noted with a bit of sadness.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 08:01 PM

*Babysitter was the opportune word, but it seemed a bit dark for the event at hand, so Ezarah chose the kinder tact.* "Chaperone. And I don't think ditching him will work well in the long run." *After all, she'd already promised to be a good patient, as she gave him a flawlessly crafted political smile of her own.* "Shall we?" *She suggested upon hearing the gong, deliberately offering her arm to Pax, for old time's sake.*

Lt. JG Cerred King *Cerred chuckled a little in response and fixed his hair again, looking over when he heard the Gong.* "Thats our cue. Shall we?"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 27-May-21 08:01 PM

"Eskitit." *She replied, slipping an arm around Cerred's much shorter form and guiding him along with the rest of the crowd.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 08:02 PM

*Vale swallowed hard.* “Thats our cue.”

Lt. JG Jason Isker 27-May-21 08:04 PM

*he heard the gong and grins a bit* "Well, this will be interesting." *he nods and heads on ahead to the main room to take his seat*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 27-May-21 08:05 PM

*Because she'd never once been on time in her life - and had the reprimands on her record to prove it - Kalena ran into the venue right as the gong sounded, pale gold dress pulled up in her hands so she wouldn't trip over it. Her cheeks were flushed and her breath heavy after running up the stairs in this getup. And she already wanted to sink into the floor, despite being here for all of five seconds. A seat at the back called her name, as Kalena hoped no one had noticed that entrance.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex *Nim spotted her beloved orion at the bar, and glided up to her side.* “You looked beautiful Imzadi,” *She cooed, putting her arm around Mevi’s waist and kissing her cheek.* *She ordered a glass of wine from the bartender, and took a sip.* “How are you liking the party so far? I think it’s wonderful, everyone is so cheerful and excited,”

Counselor Mevi Wyse 27-May-21 08:05 PM

“Hello you.” *Mevi returned the kiss, breaking line of sight with the Captain and looking into Nim’s eyes.* “Would it be too much to say that I missed you and I’ve been thinking of you this entire time?”

[T] Ensign Pal'Aven BOT 27-May-21 08:06 PM

*he heard the gone and jumped shortly cause it came out of nowhere, shivers down his spine. As he calmed down he followed the rest to the main room towards his seat*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 08:06 PM

*she sighs and takes a deep breath* "We wait till they all took their place and then walk inside." *she swallows and stands up, straigthening her posture*

Dr Larkin BOT 27-May-21 08:07 PM

"I would think there will be more mingling after. Emotional specie's seem to like to draw these things out, do they not? Are gifts appropriate? I was not sure but brought a small box of tea just in case " *The last bit he leaned down to say more quietly. He had never been to any kind of wedding aside his own. And there were familial traditions and things handed down, but it was typically much simpler than this.*

*T'Pel gave Vale's hand a comforting squeeze,* "If it gets to awkward, perhaps think of the time you both broke the bed in your quarters. It may help alleviate some stress." (edited)

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 08:08 PM

*Vidira slipped her arm through Ezarah’s, and gave her a soft smile.* “Certainly,” *It was nice to be close to her friend again, their merry misadventure through space and time had kept her too busy for much socializing. And she was sure it had been the same for the Ezarah, after all she was the captain.* “Do you think you’ll be up to much dancing this evening, it might be a fun way to ruffle Dr. Killjoy’s feathers,” *She said quietly, while leaning close so as not to be overheard.*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 08:11 PM

*Ambassador ONeil walked up to the front of the stage facing out to the crowd wearing a fancy stiff high collared officer’s dress uniform. He pulled at the colar a bit while waiting a moment for all eyes to be on him. Once the palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop he straightened up giving a warm smile.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 27-May-21 08:11 PM

"Pfft~" *She sputtered, holding a quick hand to her lips to try and hide the worst of it. Of course. She reached into her bag and pulled out a small red and pink box, a white bow on top.* "I got them tea too."

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 08:12 PM

*Streelan glanced sideways at Kalena one seat away. She looked so nervous and lost and out of place and almost like she didn't want to be here. He knew the feeling well. He'd never been good with this sort of thing and the feeling prevailed itself every time. Yes, even now. So he squeaked out a nervous* "Hello." *in her direction. Whether she heard or not was not important.*

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 08:12 PM

*He seemed to take some offense at Pax, though not wholly serious.* “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 08:13 PM

“I am never living that down...” *Vale smiled to her friend and the woman who was even now an island of calm that Vale could never be and who she respected. She stood ready with T’Pel apparently Jane would be going first.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 08:14 PM

"What makes you think I want to ruffle his feathers?" *Ezarah replied in a hushed voice, pulling Pax down an aisle to a small group of unoccupied seats. Then he responded anyway, and Ezarah had to keep herself from laughing. Good ears, and at least the gambit was getting him to talk.* "It means she wants to dance with me. Is that acceptable to you Doctor?"

Lt. Survol 27-May-21 08:14 PM

*Survol took a prim seat in a mostly unoccupied area, sitting straight and stiff as ever, not noticing Kalena’s entrance as he was focused on O’Neil as he should be.*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 27-May-21 08:15 PM

*Ace was silent, his hands clasped together in his lap as he waited. He looked around, watching others whisper and talk among themselves.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii "Eskitit." *She replied, slipping an arm around Cerred's much shorter form and guiding him along with the rest of the crowd.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 08:16 PM

*Cerred nodded and wrapped an arm around her and followed her to a seat, sitting with her.*

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 27-May-21 08:16 PM

*He followed down the aisle moving to the interior to allow the captain to be flanked by Pax on the other side.* “I’d recommend against doing the tango or something equally absurd to strain your abdomen, but it’s not my business what you do nor with whom.”

Dr Larkin BOT 27-May-21 08:17 PM

*Larking brows rose, though his face settled into an almost prideful expression,* "Great minds think alike. I got them tea for...*after* their marital consummation. The herbs help replenish what was *burnt off* during their... enthusiastic activities." *As a doctor he knew it was something people often did not consider, and having hear rumors of Betazoid appetites, he was quite serious about his gift.*

Dr. Rownan Ch’ranirh BOT 27-May-21 08:17 PM

*When seeing the Admiral at the front he quickly found a seat.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 08:18 PM

"What kind of friend would I be if I allowed you to?" *T'Pel whispered in response.*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 27-May-21 08:19 PM

"Hi," *Kalena said with a sheepish smile to the Kelpien who's sat next to her. Now that she was seated and no one was staring at her, Kalena was sitting straight up in her chair, peering through the crowd in search of her friends. She hadn't seen them in ages, too busy panicking. Now that she was calm, she found that she rather missed them.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-May-21 08:22 PM

*The Cardassian took a seat to the side of the room so he could still see the front but also so his bulk wouldn’t block any little Ensign’s view of the happy couple.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 08:23 PM

*she stands in front of the door, having one arm hooked in with arian and closes her eyes, breathing in and out and then opens the door. She was in her wedding attire, bit too long but that was fine, she wasnt falling over in the dress anyways. she started moving slowly as music started to play, it sounded a bit rough but not too much that it would ruin the melody, there was some intent behind it. Her movements had a certain grace to it as she kept her poster, the bit of makeup that had been done and her expression had something of a princess of older times. she walked carefully through the middle of the rows, her breathing was slow as she played her nervousness down. she then stopped in front of the altar and the admiral, letting go of arian who stepped gracefully to the side, taking her place*

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 27-May-21 08:24 PM

*Vidira laughed.* “A pity, I enjoy a good tango. And I think we’d have people just about swooning,” *She teased.* “All jokes aside I’m happy work around how you’re feeling. If you’re even feeling up to dancing, I’d be content just to chat and catch up,” *She said, giving Ezarah’s arm a little squeeze. Her friend had given her a good scare, between the possibility of space cooties and her demise Vidira would’ve sat and watched paint dry if it mean seeing Ezarah upright and healthy.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 27-May-21 08:26 PM

"A discussion we can continue later," *Ezarah said to both of the other trill, nodding back towards Sheppard, who had just entered. She felt a pang of regret that she had not yet been reinstated to duty, and thus couldn't officiate like she'd promised Vale months ago. At least she got to attend, a small consolation.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 08:36 PM

*Vale gritted her teeth and stepped out of the room suddenly hit by the emotions around her making her feel a little dizzy with so much. She started her own journey down the isle the music around her becoming more smooth to her going from browns to silvers. A scar on her shoulder was visible with the dress and she didn’t seem to mind. The colours of the emotions around her reflected the music in silvers of excitement. T’pel walking beside her making sure she managed to stay calm. She took her place beside Jane.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 08:41 PM

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 08:42 PM

*”you are beautiful in gold and red with your feelings in silver.” Vale thought back awed by Jane standing there. Like chaos had settled into perfection.*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 08:43 PM

*The atmosphere was perfect and O’Neil took a deep breath looking out at the crowd before him.* “Well hiya folks. I’m so glad to see all your happy smiling faces, especially after climbing the Mount Everest of stairs to get here. I am very honored today to have this wonderful opportunity to stand in front of these two incredible women on this gorgeous day at this pristine palace.” “Now, we are all gathered here today, for obvious reasons I know everyone is aware of but I’m still going to tell you because it’s not often that two wonderful people find true love and happiness. I know that traveling and being an officer in the service of the Federation it’s a walk in the park, and a marriage takes great dedication and lots of hard hard work as well. Some say they are married to their work, some may never marry, that’s all fine and dandy for those folks, but I believe there is nothing more rewarding and challenging then the continuing balancing act between married life and being an officer to the Federation.” “Now,” *He clapped his hands and motioned to Jane.* “Lieutenant Jane Sheppard, are there any last minute warnings, words of encouragement, endearing, heartfelt thoughts you’d like to express to your soon to be lovely wife before you’re forever bonded for better or worse?”

*she gulps and turns to vale* "Well, this is awkward and i am definetly not used to this, making speeches and all. When you came into my awareness back on the Yorktown station i couldnt have imagined to find such a warm and bright soul. Sure, you had your scars and still have them, but so do i." *she rubs her head a bit* "I certainly didnt knew back then it would lead to this, but something inside me told me that i should try and go for it. You were worth fighting for and looks at us. We survived aggressive aliens, anomalies, and overwhelming odds to never make it back home." *she nods grinning* "It just feels right to stand here with you now, with all of our friends here with us. This union means so much to me, cause i definitely didnt think we would end up here. But i guess life has some good suprises left for us." *she looks to vale and smiles* "I love you and i want to walk this new way ahead of us together with you. By my side, till, you know, we are old and our hair is grey." *she chuckles lightly*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 27-May-21 08:56 PM

*Vale seemed surprised as her face was leaking tears. The speech was so beautiful she was crying.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 27-May-21 09:02 PM

*panic rose in her, that was unexpected to her, but she remained steady as she looked to vale, still smiling softly*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 27-May-21 09:04 PM

*T'Pel scrunched ber brows together. Of course Vale was going to cry. It did nothing to keep her own over worked tear ducts from turning on. She managed keep a straight face behind the soft tear fall, all the same*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 27-May-21 09:23 PM

*Mevi smiled at the XO and Sheppard. Her own issues with them aside, there was always something about a wedding that seemed to sweep worries away. She ran her hand around Nim’s waist, and pulled her in a little tighter.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 27-May-21 09:27 PM

Admiral O’Neil BOT 27-May-21 09:36 PM

“And Commander Vale Azoci, do you have anything you’d like to get out in the air? Any sweet, happy thoughts and expressions of love you’d care to express to your soon to be forever bonded soulmate for better or worse?”

Lt. JG Cerred King 27-May-21 09:40 PM

*Cerred sniffed a little as Jane made her speech, covering his mouth.*

[Sci] Ensign Garland Hunter BOT 27-May-21 09:42 PM

*Garland had been sitting next to Aurelia, listening quietly and smiling.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 09:46 PM

*Gabe quietly came in and sat down next someone he knew from the ship. He doesn't think he's fashionably late, but at least his dress uniform still fits. He looks over at the alter as they were exchanging vows*

[T]Ensign Streelan BOT 27-May-21 10:14 PM

*Streelan wasn't quite as emotional, but he wore a smile nonetheless. It was heartwarming to see the marrying couple so happy.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 27-May-21 10:26 PM

*Nim snuggled into Mevi’s side, feeling the Orion pull her closer. Her eyes were watering a little, even though she was smiling. It really was a lovely ceremony.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-May-21 10:28 PM

*Katie sat in the back, watching the ceremony continue.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-May-21 10:40 PM

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 10:44 PM

*Gabe looked to his left and to his surprise he sat next to Katie* "Oh hey Katie, didn't see you there. How's it been? You know..with all thats been happening and then some?" *He whispered*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-May-21 10:53 PM

“Hey, I’ve been doing okay actually, just kind of been spending a lot of time alone, haven’t really done anything, nobody’s wanted to or anything but I’ll live I guess.” *She said, shifting uncomfortably in her seat, and tugged at her dress uniform collar.* “Sorry, I just hate wearing this , stupid ruffles...” *She attempted to smooth the front of the white shirt down* “Sorry, so, uh how have you been?” *She spoke in a whisper as well.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 10:56 PM

"Been doing alright so far and..yeah I agree they're rather uncomfortable to wear" *He said as he was adjusting his collar* "But, ill have to ignore it until I get to a shower. Anyways been at my cabin doing some touch up, and been gardening as well"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 27-May-21 10:59 PM

"Well I had some guests over for pizza and some sounds, and Olivia one of the engineering crewmembers stayed until it was late." *He explained*

[C] Lt. Francesca Mulgrew BOT 28-May-21 04:28 AM

*Frankie had never been one for weddings. As an occasion, they never quite fully made sense to Frankie. Whether it was the legal implications of the union, or the fact that it meant tying oneself to a single person for the foreseeable future, or the implied aftermath of such an affair, it was never something that really… worked for them. But Vale was their commander, and they both worked on the bridge so they **had** to be here to, as the old folks back home would say, show face. So Frankie had found the patterns for a nice suit, replicated it, and had dropped into one of their favorite record stores in Brooklyn to get Vale a wedding present. Now an ancient, genuine vinyl record of the old Earth band, Led Zepplin, was sitting in the gift registry.* *Frankie was currently leaning against the edge of the bar, both elbows propping themself up, a boilermaker in one hand, which they had been sipping from slowly as the ceremony was taking place. Their collar was open, bowtie left untied hanging around their neck, and suit jacket unbuttoned. They surveyed the room, taking in all the aliens, humans, and the feeling of the place. This was the happiest they had ever seen the Commander look and that was a damn fine thing. Maybe it was the Irish whiskey, but Frankie was currently feeling a lot more mellow and accepting of the overall concept of weddings. If every single one of them came with an open bar, they couldn’t be all bad.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 28-May-21 10:35 AM

“I had so many ideas but they all just... vanished. Words are just insufficient at times like this. It’s not just your looks that made me fall for you but your mind and. Your heart. Like a blazing pure fire. Compassion and care hidden under that tough exterior. As we talked we found we had so much in common and... how could I not fall in love with you. If you’ll have me. You are the peace I was told I could never have.”

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 28-May-21 10:52 AM

*she tried hard not to cry, but a few tears still dropped down her face, not ruining the makeup though cause waterproof and such. Her chest felt like it was exploding as she grins a bit like an idiot*

[D] Ensign Ryan Gold BOT 28-May-21 11:08 AM

*Gold would be nice enough to transport over his pocket square to jane her hand, if he was to look over she would get a wink from him, he doesn't want to disturb the wedding*

Lt. JG Cerred King *Cerred sniffed a little as Jane made her speech, covering his mouth.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 11:29 AM

*Mattie wrapped a quick arm around Cerred, giving him a squeeze for comfort before pulling away to ruffle around in her purse to pull out a pack of tissues and offered Cerred one. For what it was worth, she needed them just as much, pulling one out of it's bright blue packaging to quickly dab at the corner of her eyes. Weddings were always so lovely, but they always made her so emotional..* (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 28-May-21 12:04 PM

*Gabe watched as they were about to exchange their rings. This is by far one of the most greatest, most loving and one of the most beautiful moments anyone like him could ever to take in*

Ensign Kyle Romyar 28-May-21 12:07 PM

*Kyle was very happy for the commander. He wished both of them happiness and great fortune!* (edited)

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 28-May-21 12:15 PM

*The good trill doctor remained focused forward on the scene, having met both brides but only in a cursory sense. They seemed nice... even if one had one of those slugs inside of her. The thought of them made him glance at the Captain, all too close for comfort on his right side, out the corner of his eye.*

*Garland smiled at the pair and placed Nestor on his head so they could get a better view.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 28-May-21 01:23 PM

*Sara was truly a well of emotion, having kept silent for most of the ceremony, too enthralled with the colors, the looks, the brides themselves speaking heartfelt speeches..it was enough to make her throat tighten. She quickly swiped at her eyes, having felt tears well along her waterline. She hoped all the weddings aboard Odyssey would be this beautiful.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 28-May-21 01:26 PM

*Ryn didn't notice Aram looking at her, her attention on the brides. Her eyes were dry, but she was smiling, an expression that only widened as both of them spoke. It was fitting, that the harsh experiences of the past few months would end with something beautiful.*

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 28-May-21 01:46 PM

*Ace then woke up and shook his head the tinest amount to wake himself up the rest of the way.*’Stop falling asleep this is important.’

Dr. Larkin 28-May-21 01:46 PM

*Larkin had been watching calmly, though heard a sniffle off to his side, so he pulled out a tissue and handed it to Sara.* *He had heard these things often made people cry, even if he did not completely understand tears of happiness. He made no judgment, all the same. It was easy to see that the brides both meant a great deal to one another and he could even warm up to that fact.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 28-May-21 02:00 PM

*Sara took the tissue and dabbed it across her eyes, giving the Vulcan next to her a soft 'thank you' as she quickly wiped her nose and pocketed the soiled tissue. She felt a little better now, but her silly thrill with love and marriage was getting the best of her even so, making her eyes run like a faucet. Digging into her purse, she pulled out a cloth one and began to wipe once more- thank goodness she hadn't worn much makeup.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 28-May-21 02:04 PM

*T'Pel was exceedingly curious and fascinated by this tattoo ring contraption, she had dabbed the corners of her eyes dry enough with the long skirt of her dress and inched around to get a better vantage point to watch how it was done, her fingers fidgeting with themselves.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 28-May-21 02:21 PM

*Vale watched T’pel hand the ring box to Jane and then she waited patiently though her mind was going a mile a second.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 28-May-21 02:53 PM

*she takes the ringbox and grins, opening it and holding a hand out for vales hand*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 28-May-21 03:02 PM

*Vale blinked and held out her hand this hadnt been her idea so she didnt know exactly how this would work. Just do what Jane did thats what she knew other than how the rings worked. Jane had to get permission for that.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 28-May-21 03:05 PM

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 28-May-21 04:33 PM

“Now if anyone here has any objections as to why these two can’t be married, I recommend you shut your mouth unless you want a major whooping from both ladies at once.” *He paused for a second then spoke again.* “Alright, by whatever power invested in me by the all seeing, all knowing Federation Gods of the universe, or by any other deity, spirit that people believe in that makes this whole universe flow, I now pronounce you both married. Forever more to love and cherish each other not till death but hopefully beyond the very stars you both travel by.” *He happily smiled at the beautiful couple.* “Congratulations Lieutenant, Commander, you may both now kiss and make out.”

*The whole crowd clapped with excitement.*

Junior BOT 28-May-21 05:35 PM

he looks at everyone clapping and seemingly seems to be freaking out about the sudden bursts of noise, but as he noticed he wasnt in danger he would quickly calm down and eventualy even tried to imitatr what they where doing. Sadly it doesnt make the same slapping noise (edited)

Loorp BOT 28-May-21 05:36 PM

*Loorp Loorp appeared excitedly sitting on T'Pel's shoulder on hind legs also clapping his little hands together, tongue waggling in the breeze.*

Lt. JG Jason Isker 28-May-21 05:36 PM

*he grins and joins in with the clapping*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 28-May-21 05:44 PM

“Alright yes yes congratulations to the happy couple! Now I do believe you are all welcomed to come and congrats them, no crowding.” *He turned to Vale and Jane to see if they had any words they’d like to say to the crowd such as party on or something.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 28-May-21 05:47 PM

*Vale finally stopped and untangled Vine then yelled something in klingon to the crowd and very quickly a large burly klingon made skier O’Neil had a mug of blood wine in his hand.*

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 28-May-21 05:49 PM

*she chuckles* "Well, the buffet and drinks are on the house, there will be warm food too, freshly cooked and there will be fireworks and music, have fun everyw

"...Have fun everyone." *she laughs*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 28-May-21 05:51 PM

*Alessandra raised an eyebrow at the Klingon yelling, frowning.* “What the heck did she just say?”

[M] Ensign Ace Thorn. BOT 28-May-21 05:52 PM

*He stood up and moved to the buffet to find something to eat.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 05:55 PM

*Verred finished clapping and stood, waiting for most of the crowd to vanish before looking back at Mattie with a smile.*

Admiral O’Neil BOT 28-May-21 05:55 PM

“Woa now!” *He took the huge mug and lifted it towards Jane and Vale.* “To the happy couple.” *Looks like it’s already time to party.*

Ensign Varlex 28-May-21 05:55 PM

*varlex locks his eyes on loorp, oh t'pell is lucky this is wedding* (edited)

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 28-May-21 05:59 PM

*Sara looked to the happy couple with a grin, pleased the wedding had gone off without a hitch for them- sometimes weddings went either way it seemed! Either perfect or disastrous, and there was never telling how it would end. Giving Larkin a silent nudge against his upper arm, she stood up along with the rest of the crowd, wiping her eyes one last time, and gave a quick sniffle.* "Before the festivities begin, I am going to reapply a bit of my makeup, I think I wiped most of it off. Save me a dance?"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 06:04 PM

*Mattie sniffled loudly, sucking the loud sound of snot back up into her nose before delicately dabbing her eye once again.* "Damn, all that crying worked up an appetite. How you feelin' punkin?" *She asked, looking over to Cerred.*

[C] Lt. Francesca Mulgrew BOT 28-May-21 06:08 PM

*From their perch near the bar, Frankie raised their beer glass, calling,* “Eyyyy, congratulations to the happy couple!” *They then proceeded to down the whole boilermaker in one.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex *Nim beamed at the couple and clapped, overjoyed to see them so happy.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 28-May-21 06:09 PM

*Mevi applauded too, and gently pulled the Betazoid in during a lull in the applause, and kissed her deeply. “Happily ever after, right, Imzadi?”*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 28-May-21 06:10 PM

*Nim pulled her close for a moment before breaking the kiss. “Happily ever after indeed,” She said, grinning at Mevi.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii *Mattie sniffled loudly, sucking the loud sound of snot back up into her nose before delicately dabbing her eye once again.* "Damn, all that crying worked up an appetite. How you feelin' punkin?" *She asked, looking over to Cerred.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 06:14 PM

*He looked over and smiled, nodding and wiping his eyes a little. In doing so, she mugged his eyeliner a bit but didn't notice.* "It's been a while since I've felt this much happiness from the crew. And I'm regretting not eating breakfast now. Are you alright? Do you need a hug?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 28-May-21 06:18 PM

*Mevi leaned in, touching her forehead against Nim’s and put her arm around the Betazoid’s waist once more, hugging her tightly. “I saw a baby grand in the corner of the room. When d’you think it would be appropriate to get up and sing them a song?”*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 06:28 PM

*Taking out a clean wipe, Mattie took Cerred by one cheek and leaned in, lightly wiping away at the smudge with a small smile as she spoke.* "Oh I'll be fine, just a lil emotional, y'know? I almost planned a wedding once and I just miss the feel, miss the decor, I think its gorgeous- loved seeing Vale and Jane so happy- god, makes you wanna cry."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 28-May-21 06:32 PM

*Gabe gave a whistle for the happy couple and clapped in joy*

Counselor Mevi Wyse *Mevi leaned in, touching her forehead against Nim’s and put her arm around the Betazoid’s waist once more, hugging her tightly. “I saw a baby grand in the corner of the room. When d’you think it would be appropriate to get up and sing them a song?”*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 28-May-21 06:33 PM

*”Maybe check with them before you do it Imzadi, they may already have a playlist planned. As lovely as the thought is you don’t want to throw things off,” She snuggled into Mevi’s side, there was a slight melancholy to her that could probably be felt through the bond.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 06:35 PM

*Cerred chuckled at the smudge being wiped away, looking back at her.* "Really? Helping out a friend or your own? You don't have to answer that." *He smiled a little and looked back towards the others,* "I'm glad this was my first wedding."

Dr Larkin BOT 28-May-21 06:45 PM

*Larkin stood, and gave his applause until it was appropriate to stop. He would poke at the commander when she was less crowded. Sara spoke to him and he gave a nod,* "I shall be by a wall close by. Did you want me to fetch you a drink? I would think crying would make one thirsty."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 06:46 PM

"I'm glad it is too baby, this was a gorgeous ceremony. I hope the others that happen on-board are just as sweet." *She replied softly, pulling away from Cerred's face, pulling the wipe away and tucking it inside her purse having politely sidestepped his question.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 28-May-21 06:47 PM

*T'Pel stepped in before anyone was able to swarm them and hugged them both,* "Vale, I had you off to your mate. There is going to be many who wish to congratulate you personally, and I will be in the way so I am going to retreat to a safe corner. I am honestly happy for you both." *T'Pel planted a kiss on Vale's cheek, then scampered off and out of the way.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii "I'm glad it is too baby, this was a gorgeous ceremony. I hope the others that happen on-board are just as sweet." *She replied softly, pulling away from Cerred's face, pulling the wipe away and tucking it inside her purse having politely sidestepped his question.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 06:49 PM

"I hope so too. Any bets on who will be next?" *He cocked his head bit and motioned for her to follow him to the bar.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 28-May-21 06:50 PM

*Gabe got up after that and headed outside to the gardens*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 06:50 PM

"Nimarah and Mevi I think- Jasmine seems too young to wanna get hitched but- I could be wrong." *She smirked, following Cerred out towards the bar single file in order to not crowd anyone on their way out.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 06:54 PM

"Jasmine?" *He raised an eyebrow but made his way over, unbuttoning the blazer as they went.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 07:03 PM

"They're a polyamorous group within medical- Nimarah, Mevi and Jasmine. Buncha cuties, too bad I don't like women- I might'a joined."

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard BOT 28-May-21 07:10 PM

"Is that so?" *she had sneaked up behind mattie* "I hope you are all have your food and all?"

Lt. JG Cerred King 28-May-21 07:13 PM

"Just the boys for you, huh?" *He said with a little giggle and looked back at her with a shrug.* "It's okay though. I mean, you don't have to be attracted to women to see their beauty, right? Same thing with men. Though I like both so..." *Shut up Cerred.* (edited)

[Sci] Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 28-May-21 07:31 PM

“That was a lovely ceremony, I’m sure those two will be so happy together,” *She said, smiling at Ezarah.* “What did you think Dr. Aram?” *She asked, trying to include him in the conversation. If he had to tag along may as well not make him feel too much like a third wheel, right?*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 28-May-21 07:41 PM

"It was. The admiral did well." *Ezarah acknowledged that she was still a bit guilty for not officiating herself, but she kept the expression off her face. It wasn't quite how she would have done it, but it suited Azoci and Sheppard well. Then she turned to Aram with a slightly raised eyebrow, fully invested in Pax's ploy to get the man to talk.*

3

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 28-May-21 07:51 PM

*T'Pel, leaving Vale and Jane to meet their guests, had slipped away and found a wall to lean against after speeding past the buffet table and palming a bunch of grapes. She stood and watched everyone quietly, not seeing Sa'val. That did not stop her from sharing her grapes with little Loorp.*

2

[Sec] Lt. JG. Jane Sheppard "Is that so?" *she had sneaked up behind mattie* "I hope you are all have your food and all?"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 28-May-21 08:09 PM

"Hey Lieutenant Sheppard!~" *Mattie cheered in response, turning round to embrace the other woman happily before pulling away, though still keeping both hands on either side of her shoulders.* "Congratulations, beautiful! I am so proud of you both!~"

Dr. Rydel Aram BOT 28-May-21 08:27 PM

*With the two slug-controlled pair of eyes on him, Rydel couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. He fidgeted with his tie, feeling like it was constricting him.* “They seem like very nice people and the Admiral certainly has a nice yet casual way with words. Is it warm in here?”

2

Captain Ezarah Ryn 28-May-21 08:39 PM

“Not particularly,” *Ezarah replied, before taking pity on him.* “However, I always found men’s formal wear to be quite a bit hotter than women’s. There are more layers required and less options for lighter fabrics.”
