Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 10:02 PM

"Jysvir Arkenval. It's a pleasure to meet you all." *As if to demonstrate that the food was safe, he summoned a few mushrooms to his plate with a flick of his fingers, then plucked one up and ate it.* "Lightly sautéed. Lovely."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 10:05 PM

*Vax smirked, leaning over towards Cecilia* "Wish I could do that."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 10:08 PM

*That caught Cecilia off guard, but it really only peaked her curiosity.* "Telepathy? I assume? How curious. Please, Mr Arkenval, I am finding myself more interested in you than these dishes."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 10:13 PM

*Vax went crosseyed, that was new.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 10:14 PM

“Telepathy? The reading of minds? My people do not have that talent. The elves do, to an extent.” *He looked at the women with confusion.* “I apologize if I’ve insulted you in some way. You looked wary of the food, and I thought I could help.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 10:16 PM

"I don't think you've insulted her. She's curious about you Mr.Arkenval."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 10:17 PM

"If you insulted me, you would know. Trust me. Tell me, what is this apple looking thing?" *She picked it up and sniffed it.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex

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

Dr. Amatea Janaii 18-Oct-21 10:22 PM

"I think when we get back y'should get a hold of the Betazoid princess lesson department n' have them update their itinerary! Half the point of a Gala is imbibin' and enjoyin' yourself! At least when I was growin' up, I was always told that if ya didn't imbibe deeply n' fully? You were insultin' the cook." *Mattie replied back with a shrug of her shoulders- but before she could finish that portion of the conversation, Heinrich and a very tall mouse came back over to the bar, seemingly wishing to chat. The more the merrier to be honest!* "Hi sugar!~ And I'm Mattie, Dr. Drex's assistant~" *It was a party, no need to go all formal.*

Heinrich Boheim BOT 18-Oct-21 10:28 PM

*Heinrich chuckled* "Mattie I really do enjoy the way you talk, you sound much like a friend of mine."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 18-Oct-21 10:33 PM

"Are you sayin' I *ain't* a friend of yours? I'm *hurt* Heinrich, baby." *She cooed, pouting her gold painted lower lip in mock hurt as she glanced over a green shoulder at him, trying to look as pitiful as she could.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 10:35 PM

“Oh good,” *he really did look relieved.* “The reading of minds without permission is considered very rude, so I wanted to be sure. I’m not a diplomat you see. I’m sure I’m going to screw something up.” *He laughed nervously, followed by a moment of confusion at whatever an ‘apple’ was.* “Ah! That is a ximber. A sweet fruit grown on an island to the south. There’s a large seed in the center, don’t bite it.”

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 10:38 PM

"I wouldn't worry about starting a diplomatic incident with us...and if I do bite the seed?" *She said handing the Ximber to Vax so he could look at it as well.*

Heinrich Boheim BOT 18-Oct-21 10:39 PM

"Janaii dear, I meant no disrespect. I meant you remind me of a friend, she talks much like you do."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 10:40 PM

*Vax took the Ximber, looking at it.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 10:44 PM

"You'll regret it. Ximber seeds taste terrible. I decided to try a bite as a child, spit it right back up on my mother's lap. How something so sweet can be so bitter and foul inside... let's just say that Mother was furious, and my mouth tasted like Ximber seed for days. It lingers no matter what you do to wash it away."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 10:49 PM

"Hmm..." *Cecilia took another one and bit into it chewing slowly.* "It is indeed flavorful...can they propagate easily? I might recommend to the botany division to take a few with us. For study and to give to our people back home of course." *Cecilia really just wanted to find a way to abuse the distasteful properties of the seed for possible missions or interrogation options, on top of them actually being good to her.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 10:50 PM

*Vax rolled his eyes, setting the apple down.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 10:56 PM

"No idea," *he admitted with a shrug.* "I'm not a ximber farmer." *Also, he'd grown up in the Undercity. The only edible things that grew there were fungi. Most fruit he ate was imported.* "Though I imagine a song of change could entice the plants to grow faster, the same as with trees... though forcing it to flower out of season, or more than once a season, would exhaust the plant relatively quickly..."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:00 PM

*She looked at Vax with a 'what?' expression on her face then back at Arkenval.* "Song of change? Interesting truly. And say, Mr. Arkenval what is your duty here? You seem incredibly knowledge, well I suppose I am probably asking common sense questions in your mind."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:07 PM

*Vax shot back the 'nothing' expression.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:07 PM

"Plus one," *he replied with a rather mischievous smile.* "My wife was invited, and I tagged along for the free food. She told me I might be called upon to describe aspects of the shipbuilding process - that's my trade, shipbuilding. I expect she'll be letdown to hear my only contribution was food descriptions."

@Captain Ezarah Ryn - jump “Good. While we await their arrival how are you enjoying your stay?”

Captain Ezarah Ryn 18-Oct-21 11:11 PM

"I'm enjoying it immensely. I admit to no small amount of awe, I have never seen a city like this one." *Not in this life or any other.* "I hope I'll have time to explore it more thoroughly."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:14 PM

"Ah well my..." *She looked back at Vax thinking for a bit then turned back to the man.* "Husband, is actually the Chief pilot for the USS Odyssey. I am sure he would love to hear all about ship building." *Cecilia said with a slight smile.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:23 PM

"Newlyweds?" *That wicked smile only grew.* "Because it doesn't seem to have sunk in for husband here. I'd happily talk your ears off about shipbuilding, Mr. and Mrs. Chief Pilot for the USS Odyssey, but I'd like to know your names first, because that is far too long to say in casual conversation."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:25 PM

"Oh I apologize, Cecilia Angelica, and this is Vax, no other name worth mentioning. He is just a bit shy that's all." *She chuckled lightly.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:26 PM

"No no...its just I wasn't planning on bringing it up." *He smiled, here went something new* "Terzom, Terzom Vax, or just call me Vax."

*He inched at his first name like usual, but being with Cecilia at least he didn't go into a full on rage.*

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:31 PM

*Cecilia was pleasantly surprised he actually told Arkenval his first name. The only reason she didn't mention it was because he hated it.* "Just married, not that long ago. Not that many people know since we try to keep it shush shush, but you seemed nice. Sorry, uh, honey. You ok?"

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:32 PM

"I'm fine babe." *He gave a totally fake smile, inside he was trying to hold in punching the wall.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:38 PM

"Cecilia and Vax," *he repeated, to help himself remember the names.* "Great, much shorter! Now that we're all friends, what would you like to know about shipbuilding?"

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:40 PM

*Cecilia totally noticed.* "Actually, can you pardon us for a second." *She led Vax a few feet away from the table.* "What's wrong? Is it the husband thing? Don't think much of it, I haven't decided to marry you...yet." *She crossed her arms.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:42 PM

*Jysvir blinked.* "Ok...?" *Wow. Alyndra always said that he bored people when he spoke of work at parties, but he'd never managed it this quickly. He shrugged, and picked up a ximber of his own to eat.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:45 PM

*Vax gave a heavy breath* "Well it would've been nice to know that you were gonna use that babe. Though I was trying out using that name, turns out...still don't like it."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:48 PM

"I am sorry, I should have asked first." *She said genuinely.* "You don't have to use your first name ok? Can I make it up to you?"

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:49 PM

"No need, it's fine. I can play along." *Vax breathed another heavy sighed, and smirked with a wink*

Alyndra Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:50 PM

"Do not eat the seed," *she chided her husband as she walked up to him, kissing him lightly on the cheek in greeting.* "Or I will move out of the house, and you won't see me again until every trace of it is gone."

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:53 PM

"I won't!" *His voice was full of mock hurt.* "I even warned our guests off of it, like a good host. You should be proud. And since they're not children, they won't be dumb enough to try it like all Aiteran children are."

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 18-Oct-21 11:54 PM

*Cecilia smirked too and returned to the table to meet another person had joined.* "Your plus one I presume?" \*She said to Jysvir"

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 18-Oct-21 11:55 PM

*Vax returned close behind, smiling* "I would assume so, she's been chastising him for the past minute."

*Vax smirked, even though he was a pilot, his lip reading skills and sensitive hearing went a long way.*

Alyndra Arkenval BOT 18-Oct-21 11:57 PM

"Children try it Jysvir. Children. And even children learn to never eat a ximber seed again. But you, foolish husband, have taken that bite no less than five times, three of which were during adulthood." *Despite her words, the elven woman was smiling indulgently. For all of his foolishness, it was clear that she still loved him dearly.* "Then you tried to kiss me with your poisoned lips."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 19-Oct-21 12:00 AM

*Vax chuckled*

[I] PO1 Cecilia Angelica BOT 19-Oct-21 12:02 AM

*Cecilia listened to her words and looked at Vax.* "I like her, I wouldn't be laughing, I am taking some pointers for when you do another idiotic thing." *She smiled as well.*

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 19-Oct-21 12:09 AM

"My wife, Alyndra." *He wrapped her arm comfortably around her waist as he introduced her.* "And I'm her plus one, remember?" *Jysvir showed his wife the ximber, presenting the part that he'd already eaten, the black of the seed beginning to show, but unmarked by his teeth.* "This is the wrong party for a seed dare."

Alyndra Arkenval BOT 19-Oct-21 12:18 AM

"Did you know," *she began after examining the fruit,* "That certain orc tribes eat ximbers whole before entering into battle. They grow them on their lands specifically for the ritual. Eating the seed, and keeping it down is a sign of strength. There is also some debate among historians that their subsequent foul breath was an added advantage in battle." *And apparently, when highly intoxicated, her husband believed himself to be an orc warrior.* "Everyone else on Aitera throws the seeds away or replants them." "Are you going to introduce your friends to me?"

Jysvir Arkenval BOT 19-Oct-21 12:25 AM

"I knew that," *because his friends often dared him to be an orc warrior, and on three occasions he'd been drunk enough to try it.* "And they certainly did not, since I am the one who introduced the ximber to them mere minutes ago." "This is Vax, Chief Pilot of the ship, and his wife Cecilia, whose job I don't know yet."

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Oct-21 03:41 AM

"Maybe you are." *She teased a little, chuckling softly.* "And I know you don't end up there all the time, only when we find out that you're injured." *She nudged his side a bit and took a seat at a table.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 19-Oct-21 04:06 AM

*He followed and took a seat opposite her. Orderibg a small drink, his mind went back to his work whenever silence came. For a moment, he silence was fine. Until that silence was violent, and he coumd hear- not now Max. Not now.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Oct-21 04:10 AM

*She looked at him and layed a hand on his, a worried look on her face.* "Are you ok, Max?"

Lt. Max Leòideach 19-Oct-21 04:48 AM

"Ah'm fine." *He'd offer her a smile, appreciating the contact for a moment. Focus, later. It would be a lie, but he didn't have the strength nor the want to explain anything to anyone.* "So, what do we know of the people 'ere?" *He'd ask.* "Ah didn' pay too much attention to where we were in all 'nesty. Bit of an issue."

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Oct-21 04:50 AM

"I actually have no idea who these people are. I just know they look like us... Kinda." *She smiled at him, pulling her hand back slightly.* "But what's your first impression of all this?" *She asked, looking at him with her eyebrow raised ever so slightly.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 19-Oct-21 05:18 AM

"They have resources to spare. We weren't attacked by them, which is good. But 'part from that, Ah don' know." *He'd hesitate a little. Thinking for a moment.* "A part of me thinks this is a trap, in all 'nesty. Who welcomes outsiders with open arms onto their planet when they don' know their capabilities. But that's just me bein' careful. What 'bout you lass?"

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 19-Oct-21 05:55 AM

*D'jarva quickly scribbled down Mattie in her notepad and looked up with a smile. After listening to the exchange between, she gently thumped her tail against Heinrich's side.* "Her Boheim. That's so rude." *She was of course just trying to get in on some of the fun and tease him too.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Oct-21 05:58 AM

*Vale sensed Vax in the room a little spot of chaos among the other guests and locals. She wiped her eyes and tried to pull herself out of the pit of sadness. She had to keep going for Vax at least. She turned back to the room with her face still tear stained.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Oct-21 06:04 AM

"I don't blame you, anyone would be skeptical to hear a large mysterious group welcomes you with open arms for a feast. Maybe all this food is poisoned and we wouldn't even know." *She shrugged and sipped some more of her wine.* "But personally I think this is simply them trying to get to know us and the other way around. If they had any hostile intentions, we empaths and telepaths would've noticed by now."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Oct-21 02:37 PM

“Mevi and I…you know what tonight is a happy night. Who did you come with, I’m also curious to know?” *If one looked closely at her hands they’d see she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring from Mevi anymore. Only her other rings, and they’d once again taken their place on her left hand.*

She was innocent in all of this.* “Don’t go after her Mattie, if anyone should be getting their arse kicked it’s me,” *She said, frowning into her glass before draining it.*

"Well...I may not know what is going on between you two, but I am here to support you in any way possible." *Heinrich gave a slight smile, even though he was only a civilian aboard the ship. He considered himself the morale officer, he was the one that knew basically everyone. He was the Odyssey's Guinan in his opinion.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 19-Oct-21 03:13 PM

Both of you, I mean it you menaces,” *She loved her team, but sometimes they were chaotic enough to worry her a little.* “Come and have a drink with us K’azahl, I owe you one anyway after you handled my altercation with the shelf. Once we’re all sufficiently inebriated I’m sure we can conjure some excitement,” (edited)

Ensign K'azahl Karrox 19-Oct-21 05:48 PM

"Not too exciting. If we turn this into a Klingon party, we'll wake up tomorrow in the brig." *K'azah laughed, walking over to join them as requested. A few fistfights as a party was considered perfectly natural in the Empire, but the Federation always frowned on it.* "Have you found anything stronger than what they're serving over there?"

Dr. Larkin BOT 19-Oct-21 06:27 PM

@Lt. JG Sara Bjørge - jump *Her soft voice was the only thing that pulled him back to the room and he looked down to her, remembering her disappearance, but also that she was returned. He bristled only for a moment before giving her a soft gaze,* "It would seem they are making an effort to impress. Which, I have to admit they put for a gallant effort."

"Are you still upset with them kiwi'diwa?" *Sara asked gently, her free hand coming to his forearm to gently squeeze, an affectionate reminder that she was there, she was unharmed, and she would not, at least by choice, leave him ever again.* "I think this may also be an apology of sorts, along with just getting to know us better perhaps? Other than the mishap this morning..they really have been forthcoming with their intentions." *She explained with a soft smile, taking the time to rub his forearm gently, hoping to calm whatever hitch she'd felt in his muscles.*

Dr. Larkin BOT 19-Oct-21 07:33 PM

*Larkin made a small grumble, but let that be it,* "There is more to this than I am aware, I understand. Truthfully, it is simply my own knee jerk reaction. I would not be surprised if many have a hard time just blindly trusting these people. Especially after everything we have been through. However...you were returned, unharmed, so unless it turns out you are actually a clone...I have no real reason to still be bothered at this time. I promise...it will not tarnish the evening." "Are you hungry?"

*Vale realised she was going to be left to explain this one.* “No I’m adopting him. It’s common in some cultures.

Amp 19-Oct-21 09:07 PM

"I find it agreeable. It's not childish at all, those are likely the feelings of many here... This building is grand and makes many feel similarly; after what we all went through this is a welcome respite." *He looked around himself yet again before looking back at her. A Vulcan, he was without emotion on the surface. He could be characterized as calm and light.* "How did you fare? Were you injured, assimilated during our plight?"

It is good to see you here. I admit I am a little late to getting to this event, but I am here nonetheless, and it is truly a sight!" *He laughs afterwards, it seems the man is in a very cheery mood today.* (edited)

Though unfortunately I have to not drink too much of it, since that would not be a good thing for me were I to do something idiotic while drunk." *What he wears seems to be heavy-looking clothing, being a mix of Klingon culture and something of a formal wear.

I haven't seen you either, though we all cannot possibly meet each other and be on a first name basis on a ship this large." *He spoke slow and methodically, his speech patterns flowing like a river.

*Even though she was sure that Mr. 2% body fat would waste away first, she couldn't find it in her heart to argue when there was food to be had. Happily allowing him to lead the way, she eagerly followed along-side him, only breaking away from his arm when a plate was offered to her to take. There were a lot of options, and a surprising amount of vegetarian ones. It boded well that both she and Larkin were of kin palates when it came to food as they proceeded to pick of from the same platters and bowls, getting a little bit of most things. Sara was not as adventurous as Larkin, but she was willing to try a lot of this! Even though she had no idea what most of it was. Hunger was truly the best seasoning.* "Speaking of pixies. Did you know that you are not supposed to eat any food offered in the land of the fae? Or else you will be trapped there."

He calms down slightly, as he replies* "Even if you say you haven't, i feel like you have already taken some kind of alcoholic beverage. But I digress, I must say that the inhabitants here have truly pulled off a magnificent party. It is almost jarring to figure out a place like this exists in the first place."

*As Harry walks into the great hall, the majesty and splendor of this world comes into fruition. He sees the massive pillars on each side of the room, the massive what can be suggested as stain glass windows and the array of food. Whatever power that could create such beauty like this could awe even the worst of cynics, including poor old Harry himself. He took another few steps, seeing several officers from the ship, all mingling and enjoying their time. And it brought him back to the horrors that they had all experienced not a few days prior. But that is what he assumed that this cultural exchange was for, in order to relieve some of the worst stress forced upon those in on the Odyssey. And now here Harry could see the myriad of races and peoples who lived in this land, and the multiculturalism almost mirrored the Federation. Harry walked away from the door, fixing the collar of his shirt as if he was trying to look a little bit more professional in spite of the awesome beauty and expense of the place. His dress uniform being a mere commoners clothes to some of the suits and dresses worn here, especially when it came to the fact that many of the officers from the ship were wearing unique uniforms and whatnot. For a moment, he felt like going and introducing himself to everyone he met, yet he knew to stay in the background, let the others eat first and then he’d get the food later on. Officers first in all things, especially when it comes to such delicate things such as this. The crew could not afford for a bumbling idiot to destroy hopes for future friendship, that much was certain to Harry.* (edited)

She took a scoop of some sort of swirled fudge looking dip along with a few pieces of round bread as her plates final touches. It was..quite a mountain of food for such a small woman- but Larkin had surely seen how she eats before, she could likely out-eat most officers here.* "Do you want to stand to eat or find a table?

PO3 Harry Lynton 20-Oct-21 04:08 PM

*Harry had been near the rear of the massive group of people, perfectly knowing that he was terrible with any sort of interactions at this point. The combination of exhaustion and general tepidness that he is in right now and always is would just make for a horrible interaction, or at least that is what he thinks. He had been fortunate enough to get a glass of water, and for a moment he inspected the glass for a moment. He had always had a weird fascination with architecture and designs that people intricately made for different materials, and since they were in a world with undoubtedly tens of thousands of craftsmen and craftswomen, there would be different designs. Funny that a man who was trained for war had a interest in the creation of materials and designs, yet that was how the world worked he guessed. He then takes a sip of said water before looking around, scanning the area to make sure that everything was just alright. It was at least his own personal job, especially since department heads were here and to have them lose something important would be a counterproductive action. Yet he was probably just being paranoid, no he knows that he is being paranoid. Yet he can't do anything about it at this moment.*

A Ferengi, dressed to the nines, makes her way inside, wearing a lavish coat (or at least as lavish as a replicator would allow) and large golden earrings with little dots of latnium in them.* *Ensign Analera walked inside with her head held high, knowing the importance of a good first impression with a planet she’s never been on, as well as with the crew. Having buried herself in work over the duration of her voyage on the Odyssey she hadn’t quite found the time to be social until now, and by god does she intend on making the most of it.*

*Locking eyes with the Ensign, Analera knew that she had succeeded in her primary mission, she’s gotten the attention of everyone in the room. Or at least one person, you have to start somewhere. And thus she began to make her way off towards Ensign Taylor, stepping carefully in her tall heels.* “Why hello there.” *She coyly said as she got within speaking distance.* “I’m afraid I don’t think we’ve met.”

She raised her voice as she started to talk to Alexander.* “Alexander eh? Well it’s a pleasure to meet you! What is that thing you hewmons do? A hand shake?” *She extended a hand like she saw many of her human colleagues do before.* (edited)

“I know just as much about you people as any other species! Try me!”

*She smirked, only suddenly realizing that the way she said “you people” was probably really offensive. That smirk faded really quick.*

"Quite smart." *She replied with a grin, walking over to one of the many tables that the feast room held, taking over a table that sat in a corner. Setting her plate down, she scooted out the chair and primly tucked the excess fabric of her dress beneath her as she sat, smoothing out the front once seated.* "Thus far what I have noted from this world, and as you may have been able to come to your own conclusion, that these races parallel our own. They have Humans, Klingons, Vulcans and Ferengi..more I am sure, but I was nerved to say the least and did not get to meet any of them formally except the parallel Romulan.. Even then it was only very brief as he asked me to explain our ships."

*Maggie listened to the counsellor. She let out a sigh, even if she didn’t like the idea of women (or anyone) being treated badly. Diplomacy on what seems like a very fragile world was quite important, and with enough cultural pushing things could change. It wasn’t perfect but hey it’s the truth. She just made a mental note to not go to whenever the goblins were unless she was…very drunk and a word that started with H.*

bdg 20-Oct-21 06:01 PM

*A thought about replicating way too much gold and ruining the Goblin economy flashed in Analera’s mind, but she dismissed it as being too petty and impractical. Instead she got herself a glass of wine, finding a passing resemblance between this elf to a Vulcan woman she met at the Academy, something about how the ears pointed.*

“There’s something to be said about having Ferengi and Vulcans…I mean uh..what did you two call each other again? Goblins and..elks? Well there’s something to be said about it them living on the same planet together.”

Alyndra Arkenval BOT 20-Oct-21 06:11 PM

"Goblins and elves," *she corrected gently, her eyes lighting up with interest at the other words. Ferengi and Vulcans? What curious names. Did that make her a Vulcan?* "But that is not all. This planet is also inhabited by Drow, Frost Giants, Dwarves, Orcs, and Dragonborn. We all discovered this planet centuries ago and thought it fit for colonization. To avert war, an agreement was made, and we all settled here. The peace has lasted ever since."

bdg 20-Oct-21 06:14 PM

“Elves, elves. Elves. Alright, I’ve got it memorized.” *She declared. Curious about how the planet functioned, Analera then asked,* “So if all of you have representatives, is it all one unified planetary government, or are you all separate bodies of law?”

I never learned everything about him, therefore what I admire was only what I saw him do on the surface level. Thats inherently flawed. It may work when your goal is to "do your job" but to actually function in life...no. I will never know what made him, him. Perhaps I was never meant to.

Crewman Rick Reyes 20-Oct-21 10:02 PM

"Thank you." *He drinks the cup.* "I'm beginning to think that there's more to this planet then what we'd seen."

Lt. JG Cerred King 20-Oct-21 10:04 PM

*Cerred finally had managed to sober up a little bit after sipping some water and handing the chocolates to the bartender, explaining that they made him tipsy. But he'd keep the peppers.*

"And you, while completely an idiot, are daring. Never settling for the common or the mundane, but you aren't thought less. You care about the people you love and you never stopped being their for me. That is the most genuine that I can make this and I am sure I am missing a few key details. I just wanted to know where we stood. I am not going to stop loving you any time soon." *She smirked.*

bdg 21-Oct-21 12:35 AM

*Parading around the great hall, Analera took a moment to pity poor Crewman Reyes and his intolerance to alcohol. The Ferengi was approaching her fifth or six glass of wine and she was feeling so damn fine, fluffing her fancy coat at anyone who would cross her path to make up for the fact that she had to take off her heels to avoid capsizing like a boat*

Crewman Rick Reyes 21-Oct-21 01:25 AM

@Lt. JG Sara Bjørge - jump *Larkin followed suit and sat himself, switching between looking at his Pixie and then the rest of the crowd,* "I have also noticed that. Though...I am not recognizing Romulan..." *His eyes moved from face to face, though Romulan's did not look all that different from his own kind...he was not exactly sure what he was really expecting to see.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 21-Oct-21 05:54 AM

*Sara scanned the room, looking for the white-haired Romulan that'd had her speak. He'd been nice enough, he'd flushed her a bit calling her cute, but she'd been told before that her speech without the UT was remorsefully vulcan-like in it's clinical precision. She wasn't sure how he'd come to that conclusion. Shaking the thought from her head, she spotted another Romulan and discreetly pointed her out.* "Those are the Romulans..very nice actually. Not that the Romulans of our world are **not**..only that this world seems to have a friendly rivalry between the races instead of..what we have."

"I know a saying along the lines of "magic is just science we don't understand yet". So it's a possibility this world simply works on different physics than we know of. But...

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 21-Oct-21 09:01 AM

*D'jarva spotted Erain from across the hall and quietly made her way over to introduce herself, something about him just told her he was from around here. She hesitated when she saw who he was talking to, but she'd have to be brave and introduce herself if she wanted to learn anything or get any answers.* "Excuse me? Sorry to interrupt but- Well I figured I might as well introduce myself to someone who's at least semi in charge around here. I'm D'jarva. D'jinn D'jarva it's uh, names are reversed it's a cultural thing. Nice to meet you, sorry, uh." *she'd really mucked that one up, starting in all the wrong places.* "Sorry. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister?"

Councilman Erain BOT 21-Oct-21 09:17 AM

*When his attention was called he looked over at the fuzzy individual.* “It’s no trouble at all, I haven’t introduced myself to the entire ship yet so I’m not surprised you don’t know my name.” *This poor looked embarrassed to just come up to him like this.* “You can call me Councilman Erain, and it’s a pleasure for me as well.”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 21-Oct-21 09:24 AM

"Got it. Councilman Erain, cool name, it's very...Aiteran...?" *She looked up at the ceiling, as if to pretend it had drawn her eye in some way.* "I just wanted to ask a few things, get a better understanding of where we are and you seemed like the right person to come to." *She couldn't hide that she was nervous, her ears sitting low and swept back, her tail close to the ground, her constant tapping on her leg and shifting her weight from left to right repeatedly were all obvious giveaways.*

Councilman Erain BOT 21-Oct-21 09:30 AM

*When D’Jarva looked at the ceiling he glanced up wondering what caught her attention? Nothing interesting was there so he assumed her action was some kind of cultural gesture. He wasn’t sure how his name had a temperature (cool) but he shrugged the question away.* “Well you’ve come to the right man, I’m the leader of this place. Ask away.”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 21-Oct-21 09:35 AM

"Oh- Really. Huh. well, I guess first question is Do you have any people here that are like me? I mean. *look* like me?" *Maybe she should've started with something else.*

Councilman Erain BOT 21-Oct-21 10:06 AM

*The burly man stroked his beard and looked at her.* “Actually, there’s a tribe of rodents to the far west of the Bangrove forest. I wouldn’t recommend going there alone if that’s what you’re planning.”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 21-Oct-21 10:07 AM

"Wait- Really? What are they like I mean- why shouldn't I go alone? Is it dangerous or something?"

Ensign Soval McFadden

“Tell me about your parents and what was it like growing up on Orion.” *he was curious about what lead her to starfleet and how she got away from the Orion syndicate.*

Ensign Lihne Carter 21-Oct-21 10:32 AM

"Well I'm actually Earthborn. My mother was being transported with her current owner when his mistreatment of her drew the ire of a Starfleet officer on the same shuttle. Socked them good and hard, and he managed to get my mother granted asylum on Earth. After that, they got to know each other and, well, that Officer is my Dad."

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 10:35 AM

“Ohh so like me your half human?. And that’s very interesting, it sounds like your dad did her a huge favor.” *he marveled over her words for a moment or to, thinking it must have been difficult for her mom at first.*

PO3 Harry Lynton 21-Oct-21 10:42 AM

*Harry had of course been the antisocial little shit that he had always been for at least all of his career in Starfleet and for at least a good part of life, but it was entirely personified within this interaction. While others were having such a wonderful time talking and drinking and eating, Harry was sitting at one of the more empty tables and drawing. Drawing had always been one of those niche things that he had loved to do, particularly whenever he had been in bigger towns or in churches. The art, the intricate designs, and even the smallest details were something that he fascinated. That passed over to history, when he just wanted to visit some of the great palaces and cathedrals, yet had no ability to do more than see it in pictures of the occasional book that he got his hands on about history, architecture, or other such academic pursuits. Looking at some of the intricately built arches, he pulled out a small notebook. The small notebook had no noticable features except for on the front cover it said "Starfleet Basic Training Facility", as it was the one he used to write notes and to write down different important details. He opened it up to near the rear of the entire booklet, passing dozens of pages completely filled with small notes, a few pages with some sketches on them, and one or two forgotten blank pages. Then, grabbing just a random "pencil" before starting to slowly but surely draw the outline of the arch. Every stroke would be returned with him looking up to the arch to make sure that every detail is proper, and in that detail was something he tried to find some sort of perfection. He would erase a few small incorrect lines before starting to draw some of the art etched into the arch itself, almost wanting to know all the stories of this place.*

@Lt. JG Sara Bjørge - jump *Larkin followed her her direction and he, as politely as he could, scanned the woman,* "That is a contrast to be sure. Vulcanoids tend to lean toward naturally darker hair, so white is...a fascinating change. Suddenly I am picturing Altan with white hair. A beautiful man like him can pull anything off I am sure, but the dark suits his personality a bit better, I think." *Larkin then picked another item from his plate, as he watched a Tellerite walk by, his laughter echoing in the great hall.* "They do seem to be a jovial people as well. I am curious as to what has come through the anomaly that caused them to hold us as they did. Do you think the Borg made it through?"

"I suppose. Though he is not as dark and morose as he makes himself out to be, he is exceptionally kind." *She responded with a slight uptick of her mouth, wondering why Larkin of all people would bring up her ex in such a way. Though she of course harbored no ill-will towards the half-Romulan, but Larkin knew of their past relationship. Also odd that he'd call him 'beautiful'..* "I am sure of it, they mentioned of knowing the Borg, and with our ship coming through, a large metal ship that they had never seen, they could have easily thought we too were some variation of the Borg. But upon examining us found that was not the case. We have not spoken of it yet, but I think I will talk to Commander Kestra and see if she thinks it is worth asking the Captain if they would like the same Borg nanites we mutated to hunt Borg."

Dr. Larkin BOT 21-Oct-21 02:37 PM

@Lt. JG Sara Bjørge - jump *Larkin inclined his head slightly. He never held terribly firm opinions about most people as everyone was different and had different reasons for things on top of the fact that everyone was constantly changing and adapting to their environments. Still, there was a knee jerk reaction to Altan. His description of 'beautiful' was an honest one, but from a purely technical point of view. There was a favorable symmetry to his features. By most standards that he knew of...Atlan would fall into the very attractive category.* "Lieutenant Altan strikes me as the sort who is very adept at being exceptionally kind...when he wants something. However you would know better than I. As for the Nanites...that could be an excellent idea. It is possible that the Commander is here if you would like to seek her out in a bit."

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 21-Oct-21 02:45 PM

*A shirk in her body language gauged on the spectrum of surprised, if not a touch angered. She would never confront Altan for it, as she had just as quickly moved on when she realize she would not receive what she craved from their union..but as soon as they'd coupled up, that is when it had gone downhill. It stung still, but in the long run, it had been an experience she had learned from and would not begrudge it for more than it was.* "Maybe." *Her answer a bit more clipped than it needed to be, but there was more conversation to be had. Allowing a quick beat of silence in conversation, she started back up with the new subject matter, but not before taking a quick bite of spiced root.* "While likely the smartest option to bring it to her attention as quickly as possible, I also would hate to leave you unattended to." *She looked up from her plate, her light green eyes focused dreamily on his own deep blues. She wasn't even sure if she remebered how to dance formally, but she'd been taught once upon a time, here was hoping that instincts kicked in and she would not fumble them both.* "Someone might snatch the first dance with you~" (edited)

Dr. Larkin BOT 21-Oct-21 02:53 PM

*He watched the internal struggle in her a moment, chiding himself for bringing it up, but he allowed it to be carried off with the wind all the same.* "You hold my leash, Madam. I shall follow you anywhere you wish me to go with you. Also...Your name is at the top of my dance card already. No need to concern yourself with that."
