USS Odyssey

Deck 25 (R&R) [Destroyed] / changing-rooms

C3C Corvus Corthrow BOT 22-Sep-20 01:59 AM

"Hello? Anyone in here? I'm the custodian! Hello?" *No answer. He took a moment to cool down and have some water, since he'd just cleaned out the sauna. Then he went around picking up towels, trash and whatever else was left in all the changing rooms. He polished the mirrors, wiped down the surfaces, and restocked the cabinets. He also cleaned the latrines before sweeping and mopping the floor. All done, he headed out.*

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

*She walked in and changed, then headed into the pool.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 09:05 PM

*She entered and replicated a bathing suit for herself, and changed.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:09 PM

*Pas entered the changing rooms, finding a stall and closing it behind him before leaning back against the wall and sinking to the floor.*

Kaijin 24-Sep-20 10:13 PM

[Dune]*There was a knocking at the door.* "Ensign? Are you alright?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:13 PM

*Katie entered, looking around where Pas might have gone.* "Pas? Where are you?"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:15 PM

*There was a moment before he responded, enough time to stop a silent sob.* "What do you want?"

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:16 PM

"We are *worried* about you." *He stated, looking back at Katie.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:16 PM

"I'm sososososososososo sorry..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:17 PM

"What are *you* apologising for? I'm the one being a terrible friend."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:19 PM

"No, no, no, you've been an amazing friend to me, you introduced me to Arian, you eventually helped me not be so intimidated by her..."

Allied Intelligence Section C 24-Sep-20 10:20 PM

*Erich enters into the changing room. He gives the group a nod but attempts to not disturb them* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:23 PM

"I've never been good at expressing how I feel to other people, it's just who I am, I guess, and it just feels so much harder standing up to a friend..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:24 PM

"No, I'm just being an insensitive asshole."

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:25 PM

"You can change. As can anyone else in your shoes." *He stated.* "Improve, learn and grow."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:26 PM

"No, you're not..."

"It is not your fault that I can't stand being the center of attention,"

Allied Intelligence Section C 24-Sep-20 10:27 PM

*Erich replicates himself a pair of black swimming trunks and goes into a changing stall. He quickly changes into the short swimming trunks and stretches before heading out. As he leaves he looks over the group with his eyes, noticing nothing interesting. He heads into the pool area.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:27 PM

"It's my fault for not realizing."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:28 PM

*Nothing interesting perfectly described scene of the shorter naked girl (except for a bikini) standing outside the door of a changing stall along with the tall uniformed Kelpien.* (edited)

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:29 PM

"Then grow from it. Learn, as I said. You can improve if you make the effort."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:31 PM

"Pas, you are one of my two best and perhaps only friends, or at least, I hope you and Ari both consider me your friend."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:32 PM

"I do. We do. That's why it's all the worse I'm such a fucking jackass."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:33 PM

"No, Pas, you are so incredibly nice..."

"I maybe gave away one unconscious verbal clue but to my knowledge, I don't think I gave any unconscious hints..."

"It's not your fault that betazoid brick eater figured out what I was feeling because he's a betazoid..."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:39 PM

"I'm supposed to know better."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:42 PM

“No, you are completely in the right. Just please let me in there, and see you face to face.”

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:43 PM

"You *will* know better. Give it time."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:43 PM

"No I'm not, you're just too nice to say otherwise."

Allied Intelligence Section C 24-Sep-20 10:43 PM

*Erich walks back out after getting changed.*

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:44 PM

"At least open the door and let her talk to you. Make things right."

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:44 PM

"I don't deserve for things to be right."

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:45 PM

"Yes. You *do.* You need to realize that - you might not believe it at this current moment, but believe me when I say that no one is undeserving of the opportunity to make things right again."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:47 PM

“If you don’t open it, I’m coming in there.”

*She began to crawl underneath the door.*

Obelyzk 24-Sep-20 10:48 PM

*Seeing that there was nothing else he could do he walked back out with a quiet sigh.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:49 PM

*She entered the stall and got to her feet, facing Pas.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:51 PM

*He looked up at her sadly then just hung his head in his knees.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:51 PM

*She sat on the floor next to him.* (edited)

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:52 PM

*He was sitting on the floor against the back wall.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:53 PM

“Pas, Pas, Pas...”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:54 PM

"What?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:55 PM

“You are one of the nicest, sweetest persons I know.”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:56 PM

"No I'm not. I'm horrible."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:56 PM

“Do I have to get Arian to scare some sense into you?”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 10:57 PM

"She's not scary."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 10:59 PM

*Katie hugged Pas.* “Would I be hugging you if you were a horrible person?”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:00 PM

"Yes. Because you are too terribly sweet to recognize it."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:08 PM

*She hugged him tighter.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:11 PM

*In their particular clothing, this situation would have a very different connotation at any other time. But now Pas hugged her back and sobbed into her shoulder.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:16 PM

“You are one of my best friends, Pas, trust me, you are an amazing person.” *She hugged him even tighter.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:17 PM

"But I was horrible to you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:18 PM

“One time, accidentally, when you were just trying to involve me in the fun.”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:19 PM

"That doesn't make it okay."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:19 PM

“You has the best intention with me.”

“That’s what counts.”

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:22 PM

"No it's not. You shouldn't forgive me."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:23 PM

*She hugged him even tighter, squeezing him now.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:27 PM

*T'Pel stepped in, quietly making her way over to Pass and Katie,* "May I be of assistance?" *His self loathing radiated off him.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:27 PM

*They were in a locked stall.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:29 PM

*Can still sense emotions.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:31 PM

*It was very adorable, but she was very small, and he was very strong, so it was more of an attempted squeeze.* "Computer, unlock the stall." *He said, catching his breath.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:32 PM

“Lemme squeeze the sadness out of you.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:46 PM

"Pas? I'd would ask if you are well but I can...I know better." *T'Pel asked as she opened the door.*

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:47 PM

"I'm terrible."

"In every sense of it."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Sep-20 11:51 PM

“You are not!”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 24-Sep-20 11:56 PM

"Why are you terrible? Is this an emotional state or do you feel you are a terrible person? If so...why?"

LearnedAx 24-Sep-20 11:58 PM

"Because I was horrible to Katie."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 12:01 AM

“You were not, that operations guy was just a jerk.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:10 AM

"Jason was simply communicating what you would not say. However, Pas...why will you not listen to Katie when she tells you there was no real offense? Why do you feel compelled to beat yourself up?"

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:18 AM

"Because I was being a horrible friend. I should have known better."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 12:19 AM

*Katie continued squeezing him as tight as possible.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:21 AM

"Would someone who was that angry with you be holding you so tightly? And how could you have known? Are you also a telepath?"

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:24 AM

"I'm supposed to know, I'm supposed to. I don't wanna be a bad friend, but I was."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:29 AM

"No, you were not. People do not show such concern for truely horrible people. Criteria you do not meet. However, you know better for the future. I do not associate with horrible people as I am sure neither does Katie." *Her tone was firm, but compassionate. She hated seeing him like this.* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 12:29 AM

“You are not a bad friend! Stop saying that.” (edited)

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:31 AM

*He just gave a soft whimper. He didn't really feel better, but be couldn't really argue.* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 12:35 AM

“Pas, it’s not good, you being like this... I’m worried about you.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:36 AM

*T'Pel knelt down close enough that she reached a hand out to lightly brush his arm, doing her best to feed him some of her calm and logic, but mostly to express some amount of compassion,* "Katie is correct. I understand these emotions are difficult to stave off, but I will do my best to assist you."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:41 AM

"I'm so scared..." *He said quietly.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:44 AM

"Scared of what?"

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:47 AM

"I've never had friends like you guys before. I'm terrified of losing that."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:48 AM

"Aside from death, You will not."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:54 AM

"How can I know that?"

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 01:03 AM

"I do not make idle promises."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 08:02 AM

*She continued to tightly squeeze him.* “I’ve got a confession, I’m scared too.”

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 08:05 AM

"What are you scared of?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 08:06 AM

“A lot of things... Being the center of attention, losing my friends, losing my job, a lot more...”

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 08:13 AM

"So I made you scared."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 08:14 AM

“You just made me really uncomfortable when that happened, not scared.”

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 08:16 AM

"That's still bad of me."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 08:20 AM

"Nix, please, you are fine..."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 08:23 AM

"Ok... Ok." *He took a deep breath.* "Ok."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 09:09 AM

*She just continued hugging him.* "It's okay, it's okay."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 09:10 AM

"Thank you, Katie."

*He pulled her into a squeeze as well.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 09:31 AM

*She smiled.* "Feeling any better?"

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 09:33 AM

"Yeah. Yeah a little." *He nodded.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 09:53 AM

"Great!" *She hugged him as tight as possible for her, then released him.*

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 10:05 AM

*He sighed and stood.* "Okay. Okay. I'm still sorry."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 10:07 AM

"It's fine! You didn't know and I wasn't exactly helpful in telling you I didn't like all the attention."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 10:07 AM

"If I promise to try and be less if an asshole, do you promise to tell me when I'm being an asshole?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 10:09 AM

"You weren't being an asshole, you were just trying to be caring..."

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 10:13 AM

"Trying to be caring does not mean I wasn't being an asshole. Just let me know, okay?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 10:18 AM

"Okay." *She nodded.*

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 10:29 AM

*Pas nodded as well.* "And thank you too, T'pel." *And he gave her a hug too.* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 11:01 AM

"We should probably get out of here, before we get in trouble for being in the men's room, or if someone gets the wrong idea."

*She said to T'Pel*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 12:50 PM

*T'Pel gave Pas a tight squeeze before standing and looking to Katie and giving a shrug,* "Very well, but I am not concerned with public opinion of me. I should change though." *She said and went to do so.*

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 12:56 PM

"Yeah, I think I've had enough of the pool for today."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 01:00 PM

"I "I mean, I don't thinlk we're allowed to be in the men's changing room..."

*She left the men's room and went to the women's changing room, where she then changed.*

LearnedAx 25-Sep-20 01:01 PM

*Once they had vacaded, Pas changed out of his swimwear as well.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 25-Sep-20 01:04 PM

*She left the women's room.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 25-Sep-20 01:12 PM

*Once she was dressed she stepped out and smoothed her uniform, drying her hair with a towel as the curls already began to poof. Shortly she was out the door.*

Deleted User 26-Sep-20 10:13 AM

*She changed, and put her uniform back on. She walked out to the hallway.*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 10-Nov-20 04:03 PM

*Holmes walked into the mens changing room, changing into a swim shorts and heads out.*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 10-Nov-20 04:17 PM

*He walks back in and changes back into his cadet uniform, blow drying his hair*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 12-Nov-20 05:44 PM

*He walked in, changing into a pair of shorts and folded his clothes into his locker. He tied his boots together and hung them from a free coat hook before walking out into the suana agan.*

CaptainKhami 16-Nov-20 03:05 PM

*He went into the male changing room and looked around where what is. He picked a locker where he put his things along with clothes he perfectly folded. Thomi took a quick shower before going into the sauna taking a towel with him.*

Ensign Zoe McDonald 18-Nov-20 05:11 PM

*She got changed and ran out into the hallway*

Ringo's Sugar Baby 18-Nov-20 05:13 PM

*He got changed and spent an hour trying to fix his hair before leaving*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 01:43 AM

*She entered with kir and grinnend slightly.* "I'll go in there." *She gestured to the female changing room.* "And I'll see you at the pool." *She smiled at him.*

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 01:49 AM

*Kir nodded and walked off into the changing rooms, emerging in a dark grey swimsuit. Having left his uniform in a locker, he waited at the entrance for Sky.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 01:53 AM

*She herself got out from the changing room a bit later and exited in a pink/mint swimsuit and smiled at him.* "Ready?"

Kaijin 19-Nov-20 01:53 AM

"Ready." *He exited the changing rooms with a tired sigh.*

Ensign Skylaris Everglast BOT 19-Nov-20 01:55 AM

*She followed him.*

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 09:14 AM

*Entering the changing rooms, he got back in uniform and recycled the swimsuit.* (edited)

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 20-Nov-20 09:17 AM

*She changed into a tanktop and some leggings, putting her hair in a braid before walking out and smiling.*

Kaijin 20-Nov-20 10:07 AM

*Smirking, he took her by the hand and led her back out into the hallway.*

CaptainKhami 20-Nov-20 05:51 PM

*Thomi changed back into uniform and recycled the swimwear before he left.*

Deleted User 23-Nov-20 06:57 PM

*He changed and headed for the pool.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 07:02 PM

*He entered the changing rooms, looking around as he did so.* "Well I'll be damned, this ship actually has a swimming pool!" *He decided that since he wouldn't be on duty for another good while, he might as well make the most of his downtime. He changed his clothes and headed for the pool.*

Cayde-7 23-Nov-20 09:58 PM

*He walks back in from the pool and starts changing back into his uniform. Drying himself off as he went. When he was done with that, he took his PADD with the deck plans on it and walked back out into the corridor to explore the ship further.*

Barbaric Bread 16-Dec-20 12:08 AM

*After a few minutes, Zowe had changed back into her intelligence uniform, she turned and walked out.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 11-Jan-21 06:57 PM

*Vale quickly picked a cubical and picked out a swim suit. As. She always picked out one that covered her legs and arms. She was on her own and didnt want surprises. She quickly walked to the pool.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 11-Jan-21 09:39 PM

*He entered and changed into is swimming shirts shortly after he walked to the #pool*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 11-Jan-21 09:53 PM

*She walked over to the replicator and had it create a swimsuit for her, a simple one piece in the same deep red as her uniform. It was one of the defaults, and much easier than thinking of something specific. Then she picked one of the cubicles, making sure the door was securely locked before changing.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 11-Jan-21 09:56 PM

*Nim paused at the replicator before deciding on a one piece in blue. She ducked into a cubicle before quickly changing her clothes. She fussed little at the suit in the mirror, before shrugging and striding out onto the pool deck,* (edited)

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 11-Jan-21 10:02 PM

*When she was finished, Kalena left her clothes folded on a shelf, before heading to the pool.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 12-Jan-21 05:38 AM

*Vale felt and herd the people going into cubicals around her as she changed back into her uniform. It hurt like hell in a way to have just missed her friends but she couldn’t go back to the pool.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 10:39 AM

*Walking in, Mattie replicated herself a pretty basic fanfare two piece before heading into an unoccupied cubicle to briefly change. Letting down her hair out of its normal braid, she tied it back up into a sporty ponytail and headed back out.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 12-Jan-21 12:17 PM

*Her swimming attire was the usual two-piece dark purple fare that hugged her figure. After checking herself into the mirror she waddled out the door.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 12-Jan-21 01:06 PM

*Vale sighed and went right back the ship suddenly feeling unpleasant to be in. She changed quickly into the full coverall swimming costume. She was not doing well and didnt want to have to explain her scars.*

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 01:59 PM

*Darin retreated into the changing room, locking himself in a changing stall. He leaned against the wall, trying to relax his nerves. He closed his eyes and took slow deep breaths. It had been a while since he’d been in somewhere so noisy and full of commotion. Even worse, he’d met the other Cardassian. Ellouina had been kind but that only made Darin more suspicious. He’d seen her on the ship manifest but hadn’t expected them to meet so soon. At least, he’d expected to be wearing a bit more clothing. Darin shook his head. He wasn’t cut out for this. Why couldn’t he just spend all of his time researching? He hoped his hasty retreat hadn’t offended Vale. He also hoped Beken hadn’t noticed his discomfort. Darin was pretty certain Beken was the kind of guy that wouldn’t let him live it down. He sighed. A good impression, indeed.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 02:44 PM

*he walks inside and rubs his hair dry as he punches one of the lockers* *"come on keep it together."* *he sighs as he goes to his locker grabs his stuff to switch into his former clothes*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 05:36 PM

*Walking inside, Mattie headed for the small cubicle that held her duty uniform and began to get changed. Hearing a low bang, she looked up and over the cubicle wall, curious as to the sound.* "Hey- hey! Don't be breaking shit!" *She called out.*

1

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 05:41 PM

"Sorry, nothings broken but maybe dented" *a thud could be heard* "A fuck me." *he steps clothed out of his chamber and looks at the door that had fallen off, he walks to a replicator* "Computer, simple repairtool and a welder." *he waits and then grabs the tools and then the door*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 05:44 PM

*Dressing in her duty uniform, Mattie walks out and over to where she'd heard Jason's voice. Damn dingbat just punching doors- for what? He needed to get an estrogen shot for real. Simmer down that testosterone.* "You gonna make it, Isker? Or were you just testing out the metal of the door? You know- to make sure it still hurt your very flesh and blood hand?"

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 05:52 PM

"Ah, here for the occasional joke again?" *he puts the dent out of the door and yawns a bit as he puts it back into place and shakes his head* "Or just here to humor me for the prank in the pool?"

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 06:06 PM

"How about column c. Maybe I'm a little confused and worried about someone who was perfectly happy and laughing 10 minutes ago, and is suddenly punching lockers. I mean I love a good joke just as good as anyone else does, but right now might not be quite the best time, my man." (edited)

Lt. JG Kalena Miren BOT 12-Jan-21 06:23 PM

*Kalena entered the changing rooms, entered a cubicle and quickly put her uniform back on, checking her pocket to ensure her hypospray of medication was still there, then left without saying a word.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 06:31 PM

"Indeed, not the best time indeed." *he stands up and checks the door* "Works fine again." *he sighs and closes the door gently* "Sometimes the pokerface is just that good. And then sometimes it is not."

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 06:46 PM

*She was quiet for a moment as she regarded him. Pokerface? He was hiding something, probably emotional judging by the dent in the locker- but she wouldn't push it, hell, she'd only just met the man today. But the medical side of her urged her to do more. Certainly other people knew about him acting like this, right? Perhaps a few questions to sunshine might shed some..light.* "I'll take a grand bet and say that you probably don't know me well enough to vent about it..but if you ever wanna try and punch something that's not stationary, I might just be your huckleberry."

EntropyAlwaysWins *Darin retreated into the changing room, locking himself in a changing stall. He leaned against the wall, trying to relax his nerves. He closed his eyes and took slow deep breaths. It had been a while since he’d been in somewhere so noisy and full of commotion. Even worse, he’d met the other Cardassian. Ellouina had been kind but that only made Darin more suspicious. He’d seen her on the ship manifest but hadn’t expected them to meet so soon. At least, he’d expected to be wearing a bit more clothing. Darin shook his head. He wasn’t cut out for this. Why couldn’t he just spend all of his time researching? He hoped his hasty retreat hadn’t offended Vale. He also hoped Beken hadn’t noticed his discomfort. Darin was pretty certain Beken was the kind of guy that wouldn’t let him live it down. He sighed. A good impression, indeed.*

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 06:57 PM

*Beken made his way into the male changing rooms, a soft breath of laughter escaping him as he thought about the rediculous things he had gotten himself into out there in the pool. He quietly set down his bag and pulled out the simple shirt and pants he'd be changing into for the evening. No one else seemed to be in here. At least no one he could hear. He hooked both his thumbs on either side of his swim trunks.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 07:07 PM

"Dont worry, i dont punch gems." *he grins weakly* "And correct, i dont know you well, but juding by your uniform your oath is probably already nagging at you, so ask away. But wait, i save you some questions. No i am not fine, physically yes but currently a lot of stuff is coming up. Ghosts of the past. I have a few people to turn to yes, but my stubborn ass probably will hinder me from actually doing that apart from occasional meetings with others. No it does not reduce my capabilities to perform my duties"

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 07:12 PM

*Darin had managed to put himself back together. All he could think of was a nice heated blanket and a comfortable bunk would be. With a grinding click, the changing stall door fell open. Darin started out of it before noticing Beken. He froze, eyes taking in the whole of the other man's half naked form. Darin cursed the dark blush that rose on his cheeks. He glanced away,* "Ah, you're still here."

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 07:17 PM

*She nodded briskly. That actually was quite literally, what she was going to ask, and damn nearly in that order.* "I see you've had a lot of people attempt to intervene before, huh? Got a whole list ready and waiting at a moment's notice." *She smiled, tilting her head slightly as she tried to hold back an exasperated sigh.* "I'm sure it doesn't mean much coming from me.. but I'm sorry you're hurting. And even if I can't be useful in a medical capacity, we can talk if you ever feel like it. Or we can hang out and not talk, betters choice."

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 07:17 PM

*Beken stopped his action and turned around quickly, brow ridge raising at the sight of the Cardassian. He let out a short breath of disbelief before he grinned, all teeth.* "I think I should be the one saying that. What were you doing in there so long?"

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 07:22 PM

"Uh-" *Darin shrugged,* "You know- theoretical scientist. Sometimes we just need to take notes." *He kept his eyes firmly planted on the wall beside Beken. It wasn't just the flirting they'd done earlier than made him so uncomfortable. Darin was always uncomfortable in changing rooms. He felt like he wasn't supposed to be there when others were changing. Like he'd passed some unspoken boundary.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 07:24 PM

"Well you aint responsible for what happend at all, so dont be sorry." *he grins* "Well i had these talks a few times, so the beginning is a bit of a repitition for me." *he nods* "But i appreciate the offer, maybe i will come back to it. Or maybe not, depends if i break down or not, which would be really bad, cause i only broke once before."

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 07:27 PM

"Right. Take notes. On your abdomen?" *Beken intentionally looked down at Darin's torso, which was previously exposed.* "I would too if I looked like that." *He let out a soft scoff and made a twirling motion with his finger.* "Turn around if you're gonna be that much of a mess. It's called a changing room for a reason." (edited)

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 07:34 PM

"Well, break downs happen, and there's no shame in them. People can only hold onto so much pain before it snaps a trigger.. and you're going to express it some way, shape or form. It's always more of a 'when' than an 'if'.. And.. I dunno about you, but I always feel a bit better after a good hard cry.. So that might be worth checking into." (edited)

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 07:36 PM

*Darin narrowed his eyes,* "I- you're-" *He clenched his jaw and hissed,* "I'll have you know I have a rather unfortunate muscle to fat ratio for my body weight and height!" *Crossing his arms, Darin turned around,* "I could just leave... unless there was something you wanted? Maybe a guide to your quarters this time?"

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 07:45 PM

*Beken let out a triumphant little snicker under his breath at hearing the noise Darin let out, slipping out if his swimming shorts and into his pants.* "I don't even think you realize what that sounds like, do you? Either way, with the way those females were eyeing you up I don't think they give much of a shit whether it's fortunate or not." *After slipping on his shirt, he decided rather than tell the other he was done, he would show him. Stepping up behind him, he leaned over his shoulder slightly and spoke next to his ear. After all, Cardassians never were any good at hearing.* "You're the one still here when you could easily make your way out." (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Jan-21 07:52 PM

*Nim towelled her wet hair, not exactly enjoying the jostling or the wet strands sticking to her. Once it wasn’t likely to dampen her uniform too much she ducked into her cubicle, changed out of her swimsuit, and made her way out into the hall.*

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 07:56 PM

*Darin startled, lurching away from Beken. He stumbled before he whipped around, eyeing the other man. Beken was fully clothed again. Darin could be grateful for that, at least,* "Oh, do forgive me. It sounded like you wanted something," *The insincerity was clear in his voice. After finishing the sentence, Darin lost his harsh tone, actual confusion taking precedent. He frowned slightly. With a head tilt he muttered,* "What ladies?"

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 08:09 PM

"I think you know who. Darin, was it?" *Beken walked over and grabbed his bag, putting the strap on over his head.* "Want to grab a drink or something? It'll be on me." *He quickly raised a finger.* "And try not to comment on how un-Ferengi that is of me."

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 08:14 PM

*Darin honestly didn't know what Beken was on about with the ladies comment but that was driven from his mind with the half-Ferengi's proposition. He raised a brow ridge,* "Only if you don't comment on how un-Cardassian everything I've ever done is," *He smiled and nodded.* "I think I would love a drink. Lead the way?"

Lt. JG Beken Rex 12-Jan-21 08:18 PM

"Funny, that's the one place I know how to get to." *Beken was pleased to see the man actually smile, a bit amused at how quickly his demeanor seemed to change. He ruffled his hair a bit and sauntered his way toward the door, opening it for the other.* "After you."

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 08:21 PM

*he looks to her and grins* "I know it would be better to go somewhere and vent propperly, but i dont feel like visiting councelors and i certainly wont grab my bottle of saurian brandy and drink till i cry. Work is my outlet, somewhat, but that only helps so much." *he sighs* "Being displaced is blessing and curse."

EntropyAlwaysWins 12-Jan-21 08:26 PM

"Oddly I'm not surprised," *Darin mused,* "Thank you." *He hoisting his swim bag, Darin lead the way out of the changing room and into the hallway. He bit his lip. Darin had never been good at this game. He wasn't sure when to deescalate and act normal and when to escalate the conversation. What was he even doing? Over thinking it again, probably.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 08:26 PM

"Well, perhaps if you did vent a little unhealthily, I would not say anything unless it was truly worrying.. Like to the level of un-aliving yourself. Sometimes people cope in unhealthy ways- but it's *actually better* than bottling it up and letting it molotov cocktail all over your work, your friends, and everything you love. So. Drink your brandy, hit some lockers, grieve, cry, just do it. If you use the same out, like work, for too long, you'll burn out, and then what will you have left?" (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 08:31 PM

"Cinders, a burnt down carreer and me in retirement, where i should be technically, but someone played a joke on me and now i am here." *he shakes his head* "I know you mean well, but work is a better distraction then alcohol for me. 'She' wouldnt have wanted me to resort to drinking"

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 08:36 PM

"I guess it's down to a matter of opinion. Alcohol isn't a demon, but it's not a savior either. But in that same breath, I do not know you like 'she' does-" *Mattie could only assume 'she' was someone close, possibly whoever he was bereft over judging by the context, but she wouldn't push it.* "-So you do you, I am just here if you decide you need a change of pace, alright?" *She offered her hand out to him, a shake intending to be her gesture, but she realized a quick pat on the shoulder might have been better.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 08:56 PM

*he looks to her hand for a moment and grins as he takes it* "Carefull, i may call you out on your offer as i said. And yeah, its no demon, but i dont want to spend a fortune for satan either." *he grins as he realizes how much he had told which seemed so little* "A change of pace would be if our course wouldnt be filled with secrets."

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 09:09 PM

"I hope you do, I don't mind a few secrets, Isker." *She shook his hand for a moment before disengaging, turning it into a quick fistbump.* "Feel better, boss. I'll see you later, okay?" (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 09:35 PM

"See you around Amatea." *he chuckles and fistbumps her* "Besides, my first name is Jason."

Ensign Amatea Janaii 12-Jan-21 09:50 PM

"Jason it is~ Later manmans." *And with that, she gave a quick wave off and stepped out into the hallway.*

Lt. Jason Isker 12-Jan-21 09:56 PM

*he looks after her and grins* *"Okay, back to brooding it is."* *he chuckles and heads out*

Lt. JG Leni Abergreen BOT 20-Jan-21 03:06 PM

she took off everything except her swimming bra and her swimming shorts, which she had changed into in her quarters and walked out into the pool\*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 21-Jan-21 09:58 AM

*She entered with Leni and changed into some clothes, drying off her hair as she did.*

Lt. JG Leni Abergreen BOT 21-Jan-21 09:59 AM

*she changed into her clothes, and dried off her hair after she had changed into her starfleet uniform,* "U ready?"

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 21-Jan-21 10:01 AM

"Sure am! After you." *She gestured to the door.*

Lt. JG Leni Abergreen BOT 21-Jan-21 10:02 AM

*she walked out, her thoughts muddled bc of the beauty walking behind her , but she managed to head in the general direction of the lifts*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 21-Jan-21 10:05 AM

*She walked after her.*

Narrator BOT 21-Jan-21 02:13 PM
