Kalen BOT 21-May-21 10:40 AM

*Kalen blinked as Rownan left so quickly. At least he still had Daddy Muroc to keep him company. And he, lost in his reverie of his own pizza creation (partially his own, sort of), finally looked up to take note of Arian there.* "Hey. My friend from sickbay. You look like you're holding up a little better than when we last met."

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 21-May-21 10:42 AM

"That takes time. Perhaps the first few games can be with replicator painted, until they amass a hand-done army." *Hearing her name, she looks to Kalen. She nods and answers.* "Yes sir, I was able to receive what was needed and no longer have to use the mask."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-May-21 10:51 AM

"Maybe. There are rules, though. Like you can't have Aeldari in an Imperium army, or Orks in a Chaos one, and so forth." \*She shrugged.\*\*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 21-May-21 10:52 AM

"Other fans will know the rules, I am sure. If not, they are learned." *She said back to her.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-May-21 10:53 AM

"It's complex, but you get used to it." *She sat back, folding her arms over her stomach and yawning.*

Counselor Muroc BOT 21-May-21 11:36 PM

*Muroc had given Arian a nod when she entered, focused on his slice of pizza and keeping calm under Kalen's flirtatious glances.* "I almost did not recognize you, Lieutenant."

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 21-May-21 11:41 PM

"That happens when you go without a face long enough for people to forget what your face looks like."

Counselor Muroc BOT 21-May-21 11:44 PM

"To be fair, I do not think we have been properly introduced. I was unfamiliar with you before Sickbay. The name is Muroc. It is agreeable that you have been...put back together?" *Muroc said, give a slight bow, slapping Kalen's hand away from his slice of pizza.*

3

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 22-May-21 09:42 AM

"Indeed sir, which makes it somewhat impressive that you remembered me at all." *In sickbay, she was wearing a hood and a mask. What did he remember? Her posture? Her figure? Her emotions? Her voice? It was interesting to wonder. Her emotional state then was very elevated. Now it was greatly diminished. Though Zehron stated her emotional signature was very unique, because the sweetie is polite and didn't want to hurt her feeling by describing it truthfully. That must be it. Or Muroc was a full on mind reader. In any case, she would not press into it.* *She knew who he was, and she tended to avoid counselors and therapists outside of mandatory sessions. It was like running into your teacher during a birthday party as a kid.* "Lieutenant Muroc, my name is Arian Rhosyn. I did agree to be put back together, yes sir."

Kalen BOT 22-May-21 11:36 AM

*Kalen listened to the conversation while eating and then got his hand slapped away which he pulled back rather quickly, looking at Muroc in shock.* "Counselor you're getting randy even without the chocolate."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 11:44 AM

“I Dunno what you mean by ‘put back together.’ Is that some sort of euphemism or something?”

Counselor Muroc BOT 22-May-21 11:56 AM

"Leave some pizza for Lieutenant Rhosyn." *Muroc addressed Kalen with a tick of his brow before looking back to Arian.* "I have spent my whole life studying people. Faces. Mannerisms and inflections. It has been a while since someone's eyes have grabbed my attention as firmly as yours did. Even if they were more...*emotional* at the time. However, I leave it to you to explain to the young Yeoman if you wish."

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 22-May-21 12:05 PM

"I suppose since they were not working fully they were attention grabbing, yes. Fine observation application." *She lowered her head in a nod,* "Kind of you to save a slice, sir, though I have no appetite. A drink would be nice. I will fetch myself one in a bit." *She then turned her attention to Alessandra,* "I am a cyborg, ma'am ."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 12:10 PM

“Oh.” *The Half-Klingon blinked.* “You learn something new every day.”

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 22-May-21 12:12 PM

"Only if you pay attention." *She offered Alessandra a nod.* (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 12:13 PM

“Hmmph. How was I supposed to tell?”

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 22-May-21 12:16 PM

"You were not supposed to tell. At least, that is the broad goal. I should appear Human for the most part. The Lieutenant saying I was in pieces gave it away, and to that I should say that I was damaged and repaired recently."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 12:18 PM

*Alessandra sat up, stretching her legs.* “Well, I’m not gonna persecute you or see you any different for it. “

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 22-May-21 12:22 PM

"That is sincerely appreciated. But for practicality keep it in mind, as I am a useful instrument. If I can be of service to you, let me know."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 12:24 PM

“Alrighty. Will keep in mind.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 22-May-21 01:42 PM

"Hows the pizza folks?" *He asked as he munched on a 4th slice*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-May-21 01:46 PM

“Mm. Good. Crust was a little crunchy, though.” *She commented, glancing over to Monroe.*

Counselor Muroc BOT 22-May-21 03:07 PM

"It is quite agreeable, Mr. Monroe. My compliments."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 22-May-21 06:26 PM

"Its not just me you guys have to thank, its all of you who participated in the making of this feast" *He grinned*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 23-May-21 02:10 AM

*She watched them enjoying the meal, glad the evening was successful for the host. Though since a full-blown counselor saw her there and even spoke to her, her therapeutic obligation shrank considerably. She'd done far more than merely make an appearance. This was big social interaction points. Big.*

3

Kalen BOT 24-May-21 09:32 AM

*Kalen stretched his neck to the side before leaning an amr on Muroc's shoulder smoothly and lazily.* "Well, thank you. A decent meal is as hard to find as a decent man sometimes. Though I should probably get going and check on my sister."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 24-May-21 09:34 AM

"I should get going too. I have some things I need to do before lights-out." *Alessandra stood up, stretching her arms above her head.*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 24-May-21 09:54 AM

*She used the momentum of others departing as a social cue.* "I am glad I took advantage of the invitation, but I should head out as well."

Counselor Muroc BOT 24-May-21 01:35 PM

*Muroc looked at Kalen, quirking a brow,* "I likely should do the same." *He slipped out from Kalen's arm and began helping Gabe clean up,* "However I will not leave this mess to our gracious host. Start grabbing plates, Kalen."

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 24-May-21 02:13 PM

*Arian had another invitation to make an appearance at, so she slipped out after saying,* "Thanks for having everyone over Ensign Monroe!" *The RP bubble popped.* (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 24-May-21 02:14 PM

*Alessandra started to walk out after her, looking over her shoulder.* "What she said. Thanks for the Pizza." *After exiting, there was a shimmer as she beamed out.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 04:07 PM

"Oh your welcome guys, and please call me Gabe. We're not on duty for right now so let's enjoy some time off while we still can" *He said as he gathered the plates and set them in the sink* "Have a safe trip!" *He called out as the two women beamed away* (edited)

Kalen BOT 24-May-21 07:14 PM

*Kalen looked around like he was confused about what was going on when Gabe graciously grabbed the plates for him. He clapped his hands together a couple of times.* "Another hard day's work. Nice to meet you, Gabe, Counselor. Next time let's throw a rager here. Be seeing you!"

Counselor Muroc BOT 24-May-21 07:27 PM

*Muroc finished helping Gabe clean up, and then gave him a bow,* "This was agreeable, Gabe. I should also take my leave. See you aboard, yes?"

2

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 08:03 PM

"I'll see you back up there then boys" *He said giving them a nod and a wave*

"And thank you all so much for coming to my little get together, I really appreciate it"

Kalen BOT 24-May-21 08:14 PM

"Sure thing." *Kalen gave a little wiggly finger wave over at Muroc before he beamed out to God knows where, but it definitely wasn't the ship!*

Counselor Muroc BOT 24-May-21 08:20 PM

*Muroc gave another bow, and raised the ta'al, before turning and heading out. Returning to the ship in light and sparkles.*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 10:14 PM

*Olivia approached from one of the paths leading to the cabin, checking her watch in dismay. She wasn't sure how long the party would be going on, but was pretty sure she was beyond late. It wasn't necessarily her fault; she'd been with her own family and had simply lost track of time. Yet she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at her tardy appearance. Liv approached the door and twisted the handle, briefly wondering if this was even the right place.* "Here goes," *She muttered, pulling open the door and walking inside.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 10:16 PM

*Gabe turned just as he gotten himself a plate of leftover slice of pizza to sit down with and sees Olivia come in* "Oh Olivia! Hey! Hows it going?" *He asked scrambling to put the plate on a flat surface*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 10:26 PM

*She almost jumped at his greeting, half expecting the place to be empty. Trying for a what she hoped to be a casual smile, Liv waved and closed the door behind her.* "Hey Gabe, sorry I'm late." *She looked around the place and grinned ruefully.* "I didn't 'miss all the action' did I?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 10:37 PM

"Well, I took them on a tour of the cabin and made pizza" *He said*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 10:48 PM

"Sounds.. riveting? Certainly more fun than being stuck home." *She hovered in the doorway, unsure if the party was still technically going.* "So.. is this place is all yours? The walk here was quite nice."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 10:52 PM

"Yes it is, me and my grandfather gave it new life and then some" *He said*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 11:02 PM

"It certainly seems that way." *She leaned against the door frame and stretched out her legs. After a moment's silence she finally caved, straightening up and taking a few tentative steps forward.* "Ok I can't take it, that pizza smells delicious. You wouldn't happen to have any more, would you?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 11:03 PM

"I have some more in the kitchen. I'd be happy to get ya a few" *He said offering some food for his guest. Though somehow whatever the feeling he has for Olivia is starting to grow deep inside, without him knowing*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 11:13 PM

"What a gentlemen." *Olivia grinned, moving over to the table and taking a seat. \* "So how's your leave been? Anything eventful?" \*She called out, trying to keep the conversation going.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 11:16 PM

*Gabe went to grab a plate and put some pizza slices on it and got out the apple cider he'd been saving but didn't got it out. He came back out and set the plate on the table and poured the cider in the glasses.* "Well so far its been refreshing, been checking up on my veggie garden, got the solar panels installed...I even went to the funeral session on the ship" *He summed it up*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 11:29 PM

"Ah yeah, poor bloke. Didn't really know 'em that well though. Oh- Ta." *Her eyes quickly glanced over, taking in his tall figure, before she reached out and pulled the plate closer to her seat.* "Perhaps I'm a tad biased, but I always thought the country life was better than being in the city. Especially with locations such as this."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 11:40 PM

"It is yeah." *He sat down next to her looking at her from her hair to her toes, from her bosems, her eyes, nose and lips and even the aura she gives off is sending some impulses to his head. He shakes that thought aside seeing as its gonna send mixed messages.*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 11:47 PM

*She just shrugged, a hand gently reaching out and pulling a glass near. She gave it an instinctual sniff before taking a sip, quickly following up with another. Pretty good stuff, to say the least.* "So, what do we do? Last time I went to a party was back during my days at the academy, so.." *She trailed off with a nervous chuckle.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 24-May-21 11:54 PM

"Well I can put on some music to dance to" *He suggested*

Ensign Olivia Brown 24-May-21 11:56 PM

"Oh christ, you don't want to see me dance." *She replied, trying to fight against her laughter.* "Mum used to say I danced like I 'ad two left feet." (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 25-May-21 12:14 AM

"Well, maybe I can help you with that" *He laughed and got up to walk towards the radio*

Ensign Olivia Brown 25-May-21 08:20 PM

*The look on Olivia's face seemed to suggest that she thought otherwise, and she took another sip from her glass as she watched him with a smile.* "Well if I break anything, don't say I didn't warn you."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 25-May-21 09:27 PM

*Gabe put on some classic post WW2 jazz and walked over to Olivia extending his hand which he ment by asking her to dance with him*

Ensign Olivia Brown 25-May-21 09:35 PM

*She looked up at him and couldn't help a grin, taking his hand and letting him pull her to her feet.* "Excellent song choice, I take it you're a fan of the classics?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 25-May-21 09:57 PM

"Sometimes there are people like myself who enjoy the classics just as much" *He answered as he takes her by the waist and then before they know it the music took over and they started dancing*

Ensign Olivia Brown 25-May-21 10:28 PM

"My Grandad used to play tunes like these nonstop; it drove my mum and dad crazy but-" *She shrugged.* "Eh, not me." *True to her word, Liv was rather terrible. She stepped on his foot for what was probably the third time in a row and mumbled a hasty sorry, looking off at one of the walls. She'd always been bad at this sort of thing, aside from slow dancing. But really, wasn't that just glorified hugging?*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 25-May-21 10:32 PM

*Gabe felt his foot getting stepped on at least three times before avoiding that last one, but he nonetheless kept at dancin. He even moved her into a twirl, a short lift and lastly letting her bend backwards for a sec before straightening out again*

"He must be a nice guy for you to listen his tunes to" *He commented*

Ensign Olivia Brown 25-May-21 10:44 PM

*Olivia hadn't expected that last bit, with one of her hands leaving a bit of a mark on his wrist where she'd, in her mind, 'held on for dear life.' Things may have started out rough, but at least she seemed to be somewhat improving. It certainly helped to have a good partner.* "Yeh he was. He's dead now, but uh.. things like this help me remember him. The music, I mean." *All too quickly she realized she was probably killing the mood.* "So where'd you learn to dance?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 25-May-21 11:42 PM

"I'm usually self taught, but I did learn some moves from the best" *He answered as he gave her a twirl again* "See? All it takes is some good practice, your getting better at it." *He commented*

2

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:25 AM

"Yeah, well.. it helps to have a good teacher." *Liv grinned, feeling herself fall into the groove.* "Ah christ, you ever just get songs stuck in your head?"

3

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:31 AM

"Sometimes" \*He answered "I can change the song if you like"

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:35 AM

*She shook her head and chuckled.* "Oh no no, I wouldn't want to impose or anything. It's just driving me a bit loony."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:50 AM

"Well, then let me a little bit loony with you" *He somehow lifted and twirled her into the air before catching and setting her down again and held her close for a slow moving*

2

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 12:24 PM

*The move caught her off guard, and Liv had to steady herself with a hand on his shoulder.* "Woah there, how about a little bit of a warning next time?" *It was pretty ironic; when they'd first met, she'd told him she didn't really liked being touched by strangers. And yet, here they were dancing like folk from the 1940s.*

1

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 12:55 PM

"Ha, sorry ill try to give you a heads up" *He chuckled and kept on dancing* "You seem to be having a good time"

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 01:05 PM

"Yeh, I think I needed this. My first assignment on a starship was, if you'll excuse my language, 'properly shite.'" *A rueful grin rose onto her face.* "It's nice to get away from work for a bit."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 01:27 PM

"I'm glad your enjoying it" *He said as the music ended and they bothed stopped*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 01:36 PM

*Olivia stood there a moment longer before coming back to the present, releasing Gabe and trying to hide the heat rising in her cheeks. She walked over to the table and took a bite of her pizza, the food cool by now but still quite delicious.*

1

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 03:45 PM

*Gabe sat down next to her taking a sip of cider and a bite out of his cooled down pizza, still delicous*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 05:39 PM

*After nibbling away at her slice, Liv found she couldn't hold the silence any longer.* "Good stuff, this. Did you uh.. make it yourself or..?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 05:50 PM

"All from scratch yes" *He nodded*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 05:57 PM

"Huh. Most people I know just rely on replicators." *She finished her slice and reached out for her cider, raising the glass to her lips.* "Sometimes they make good food, but.." *Liv shrugged.* "The replicators have some of the worst recipes sometimes."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 06:03 PM

"Yeah, though my stomach could handle so much of that synthohol stuff before i eventually lost my taste for that." *He said taking another dip of cider*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 06:16 PM

"Oh bleh, don't even get me started on synthohol." *She replied, making a face.* "Whoever devised that concoction clearly has no idea what *good* alcohol tastes like."

1

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 07:35 PM

*Gabe gave off a good hard laugh before sipping again* "Yeah, hehe. Though I dont blame the other people who drink thats stuff"

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 07:44 PM

"Speak for yourself, they probably can't taste either." *She began to laugh as well, finishing off her cider. 'Did I really drink it that quick?' Liv wondered to herself, replacing the now-empty glass back on the table and leaning back into her chair.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 07:45 PM

"You mentioned about your grandpa, what was he like?" *He asked*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 07:55 PM

*She jerked back to reality, eyes flitting over to him.* "Hm- Oh! Um.. I dunno, nice I guess? He was certainly old fashioned, and tinkered with a lot of things that would be considered 'antique.'" *She shrugged.* "I dunno how to really describe him."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 07:59 PM

"Hmm, that seems about right" *He nodded*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 08:01 PM

*She just shrugged, shifting in her seat.* "What about you? You have anyone that you're close to like that?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 09:22 PM

"I have my grandfather, he was in starfleet before I was born" *He said*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 09:44 PM

"Oh all right, cool. Was he a tactical officer too?" *She asked, picking at her thumb.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 09:51 PM

"Yes he was, a special officer to boot, though irrational in his day" *He chuckled recalling some stories his grandfather told to him when he was a kid*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 09:55 PM

*A grin tugged at the corner of her mouth as she replied.* "Wasn't Kirk also labeled 'irrational' at least a few times during his career? Maybe that's a sign of a good officer."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 09:56 PM

"I think it does" *He agreed*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 09:58 PM

"Blimey, what's the time?" *Liv asked, yawning as she looking about the place.* (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:00 PM

*Gabe checked the clock, though he couldn't tell if it was synced with the grandfather clock. Maybe its broken again* "Hard to say. You have somewhere to go?" *He asked*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:07 PM

*She frowned, trying to remember what the next few days looked like for her.* "Not.. really? I dunno- I'm just a bit tired, that's all." *Liv closed her eyes and sighed, running a hand through her hair.* "It's a bit weird to explain but.. I'm glad we have shore leave, but I didn't expect it to be so- I dunno.. boring? If that makes sense at all."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:08 PM

"It does, and your more than welcome to stick around for the night as much as you'd like. I have a spare bedroom upstairs just incase" *He gave her the option*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:12 PM

"Oh cheers but I- I'd hate to impose." *She tried to fight against the blush, checking her watch in an effort to conceal it. Aside from a message from her dad, nothing really notable there.* "Besides, my parents are expecting me back at some point tonight."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:14 PM

"Oh! Uh..well I suppose I cant keep the girls parents waiting and worried. You can use my transporter, its at the gazebo and just tell it where you like to go" *He explained*

1

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:20 PM

"Oh I doubt they're too worried. In fact they seemed rather glad to see *me* go to a real live party." *Liv laughed, stretching out one of her legs. Looking up at Gabe, she raised an eyebrow and grinned.* "Perhaps you could 'escort' me to the transporter?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:21 PM

*He smiled a bit and nodded* "I'd be happy to walk you to it" *He got up and extended his hand to take her there*

1

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:24 PM

*Olivia took his hand, letting him pull her up from the chair. After a quick glance to make sure she had all her things, she followed him to the door.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:28 PM

*Both of them walked out through the door and down the patio all the way to the gazebo transporter pad on a warm, summer night. Beyond the cabin is a lake and dozens of fireflies were flying and crickets were chirping which all together with the full moonlight makes a excellent scene*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:32 PM

"Wow.. it's- it's beautiful." *She mumbled, slowing down and just taking the whole thing in. Her families farm was nice, but not really anything like this.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:34 PM

"Yeah.. it is" *He slowed down to take a look at the whole thing just beyond his property. Amazing*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:42 PM

"So you live here, or do you just come out here seasonally?" *She found herself wondering how the property looked during wintertime.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 10:47 PM

"I do live here yes and I also have a caretaker taking care of everything here when im away" *He explained*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 10:55 PM

"Ah right, sounds pretty nice. When I was still a kid, my parents usually made me the caretaker." *She gave a wry grin, shifting her weight onto one leg.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 11:08 PM

*Gabe stood next to her while looking out* "I can imagine that"

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 11:29 PM

*With what felt like enormous effort, she tore herself away from the view. Her gaze wandered around a bit but eventually settled on Gabe, watching him as he looked out upon the property.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 11:38 PM

*Gabe eventually tore his attention away from the sight until his eyes were fixated to Olivia*

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 11:43 PM

*She quickly averted her gaze before he met it, leaning against one of the gazebo's support beams.* "I suppose this is goodbye then?" *Olivia asked, eyes fixed on the transporter pad.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 11:46 PM

*His eyes avoided her gaze with a rosy red blush on his face* "Uh, yeah...it is" *He said feeling a little sad but he knew he can't keep her trapped forever* "I hope you...have a good night"

Ensign Olivia Brown 26-May-21 11:53 PM

"Cheers mate, I hope you do as well." *She massaged the back of her neck.* "I know I missed the party but.. I still had a lot of fun tonight. Perhaps we could.. get together again sometime?" *Liv shrugged, feeling terribly awkward.*

1

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 26-May-21 11:58 PM

"I would love that very much" *He said as he smiled scratching the back of his head and blushed*

1

Ensign Olivia Brown 27-May-21 12:04 AM

*Olivia smiled, her own cheeks somehow not on fire.* "Well, goodbye then. I'll get in touch with you soon, alright?" *She pulled him into a quick, tight hug before stepping on the transporter pad and disappearing in a mess of shimmering particles.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 12:23 AM

"O..k" *He stood there with no words to describe the feeling he is experiencing now*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 11:25 AM

*Gabe walked back inside, gathered up the plates and glasses to set into the sink and walked upstairs to his bedroom but not before saying:* "I think im in l..lo..love"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 06:47 PM

*Gabe was outside the next morning tending to his garden*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 27-May-21 06:54 PM

"Mmm mmm mmm" *He hummed to himself as he plucked some carrots out of the ground*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 02-Jun-21 11:58 AM

*Late at night he come in with a blushing frozen look on his face. He sets the badge on the table and walks to his chair, sitting there for about half an hour before looks out the window* "Geez"

*It was all he said as he looked out into the calm, warm night sky* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:12 AM

*She entered with him.* "So, this is your place?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:15 AM

"Yes it is. Gave it new love" *He said*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:24 AM

"I love it, it's just so unique and cool. When did you get it?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:25 AM

"It was several years ago. Me and my grandpa fixed it up together."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:27 AM

"Thats cool. How long did it take you?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:28 AM

"About a few years to get everything clean and functioning. I gotten the solar panels installed recently"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:31 AM

"I saw those, they look nice." *She sat on a couch.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:32 AM

"And good thing I did find them, makes energy saving much easier....in some ways" *He shrugged and took off his jacket*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:42 AM

"So, what do you want to do?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:44 AM

"Oh gee thats a real good question...oh speaking of which...about...that..well you know the-" *He stopped midsentence to clear his head while scratching his head before continuing* "Its about that...the kiss you gave me back at the wedding"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:56 AM

"Oh, I'm really sorry, I just got kind of caught up in the moment. If that's not really your thing right now, I'll totally wait until you're ready to kiss."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:59 AM

"Its..not that. Do you really..love? I mean..i..well..im just having mixed feelings about it" *He poured himself a glass of water and took a drink*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:05 AM

"I really do. Wait... are you saying you don't or something?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:07 AM

"I just..need time thats all" *He sat down looking at the portraits*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:08 AM

"That' fine, I understand."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:15 AM

*Gabe got up and moved next to her on the couch unsure of what to do next* "Were you glad you had some fun dancing?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:15 AM

"Yeah I am. I had probably the most fun I've had in a while."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:16 AM

*He smiled a bit and nodded looking at her* "You did?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:18 AM

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:21 AM

"So did i" *He admitted*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:23 AM

"So, what do you wanna do? Eat, watch a movie?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:24 AM

"I've got a good one we can watch" *He gets up and finds [Insert Movie Name Here]* "How bout this one? I heard its really good"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:26 AM

"Sure, I don't think I've seen it before."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:26 AM

*He puts in the CD, turns on the TV and dims the lighting* "Always a first time for everything"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:40 AM

"Mhm." *She took off the dress uniform jacket, leaving just the ruffled shirt on her torso.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:43 AM

*He sits next to her and they both watch the movie. It was about halfway when he looked away from the screen to gaze at Katie from the head down to her legs. He couldnt help but lean in closer before he returned his attention back to the movie*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 01:44 AM

*She leaned in closer as well, resting her head on his shoulder.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 01:44 AM

*He felt that and couldn't help but blush*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 02:08 AM

*She eventually had enough of tugging at that infernal collar, and unbuttoned the top button. She then pulled the tucked shirt out of her pants, untucking it.* “Sorry, it was a little tight last time I wore it, a few years ago, and I’m not the most active person, so I’ve put on couple of pounds since, just like one or two though.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 02:09 AM

"Well..I dont mind that at all"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 02:13 AM

“Mind what, sorry?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 02:15 AM

"Your uhh...fiseaque. it suits you" *He gave an honest blush* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 02:26 AM

“Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean.” *She blushed too.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 10:18 AM

"Oh...its okay I was just..complementing you" *He said*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:28 AM

"Thanks, you look really good too." (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 11:29 AM

"Not as good as you are" *He blushed nervously*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:32 AM

*She smiled.* "I'm happy we found eachother."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 11:33 AM

"Me too" *He chuckled*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:41 AM

*She leaned against him again, and continued watching the movie.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 11:44 AM

*With a bit of hesitantation he gave her a kiss on her cheek and watches the movie*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:59 AM

*She didn't notice the hesitatation and just snuggled in next to him.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:01 PM

*Gabe was surprised that she didn't notice the kiss. He gave a quiet sigh and just finished watching the movie*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:06 PM

*She did notice the kiss, just not the hesitant nature of it.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:07 PM

"I guess I finally made my choice...I lo..lo..vve" *He stuttered looking at her*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:12 PM

*She looked over at him.* "Yes?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:31 PM

"I..love you" *He blushed red and shed a tear in defeat*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 12:32 PM

"I love you too." *She blushed as well, smiling.* "I'm really happy we're together."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 12:35 PM

*He nodded in agreement*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 08:07 PM

"So..what now?" *He asked*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 10:26 PM

*She tapped her PADD.* "Looks like I have some messages, both in my inbox and in the chatroom..."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 10:51 PM

"Yeah"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:03 PM

"Oh, you've been talking about us in the chatroom, I see." (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 11:41 PM

*Gabe slumped in the chair feeling all embarrassed* "Its..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:43 PM

"What does Mayott mean, 'other girl'?" (edited)

"Who is this Olivia?" *She said, her tone more along the lines of scared, rather than angry or accusatory.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:54 PM

*She continued scrolling.* “A *love* triangle? What?!”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 03-Jun-21 11:58 PM

"She's just a friend of mine. She came to my pizza party just a few days ago." *He said*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 03-Jun-21 11:59 PM

“Then why are you talking about a love triangle here then?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:01 AM

"I...had been a little drunk there. I was unsure"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:01 AM

“Am I your mistress or something?” (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:02 AM

"No no no! Your not."

"Please dont be angry at me, I was unsure of who to be with back then. Honest"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:09 AM

*Her eyes found the text*; Welp..ive made up my mind (edited)

*For a brief second they welled up in tears and she wiped them off with her sleeve.* “Ohhh Gabe, I can’t be mad at you...”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:11 AM

"I suppose...this..is where I get my just desserts" *He prepared himself for the absolute worst. He knew he'd have to mann up and deal with the consequences that came*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:12 AM

“What do you mean?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:13 AM

"I mean...I knew i said those words in that chatroom, and I know I have to be responsible for them. Even the ones I wrote down at the time"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:14 AM

“I know, and I know you are being honest with me.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:14 AM

"I am and I've strained the start of the relationship"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:28 AM

*She hugged him.* “I love you, so so so much.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:28 AM

*He hugged and then kissed her full on the mouth*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 12:42 AM

*She just sat and let him kiss her, letting off a slight sigh.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 12:55 AM

*He takes her to his bedroom, carrying her like a gentlemen*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:04 AM

*She laughed.* "Oooh, what're you gonna do now?" *While already knowing the answer.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:05 AM

"Care to guess?" *He smirked as he put her gently on the bed*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:06 AM

"I think I might already know."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:07 AM

"Whats that?" *He climbed onto bed* "Tell me?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:09 AM

*She did air quotes.* "Sleeping."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:10 AM

*He smiled and pulled up to her*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:12 AM

"So, what now?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:14 AM

*He touches her leg as he slowly comes up to her face* "Do you have any second thoughts?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:14 AM

"Nope." *She shook her head, grinning.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:15 AM

*He pulls her in and the fun love making stuff begins*

***Timeskip to the morning***

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:23 AM

*She looked over at Gabe, smiling, sheet up to her neck.* "That... that was pretty good."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:24 AM

"Was it worth it? Wanting...to be with me for the rest of your life? Even after all that? You almost took the energy out of me" *He looked at her also with the sheet up his neck*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:25 AM

"Its worth it. And... to tell you the truth, you nearly took the energy out of me too."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:29 AM

"With such a lovely body you have...and with such...well glow it was really worth being with" *Gabe unsure of what time it was looked at his clock, still broken.* "Oh well, sleeping in a bit won't hurt"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:29 AM

"Why is your clock broken?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:30 AM

"Gears out of alignment, been meaning to find someone to fix it, but I haven't gotten around to it. By the way..is it weird for an ensign to date a high ranking officer?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:33 AM

"I... I don't think it's weird, since the XO is a Commander married to a Jaygee."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:34 AM

"Well, then its possible for me..to marry.." *He yawned and stretched*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:36 AM

“I would guess so, but I don’t have the law book with me so...”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 01:37 AM

"Why would you need a law book for?" *He asked*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 01:57 AM

“To look up the regulations, silly.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 09:06 AM

"Oh, I see" *He chuckled and planted a kiss on her neck*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 04-Jun-21 09:03 PM

*She kissed him back.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 04-Jun-21 09:10 PM

"Well, any plans you got? Im just doing some routine checkups in my garden and some in the house"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 05-Jun-21 12:17 AM

“Uh, I really don’t have anything else to do the rest of shore leave, so Im basically free.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 05-Jun-21 12:43 AM

"Wow, okay." *He jumped out of bed and put on some clothes* "Spose I can make some breakfast to start the day"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 05-Jun-21 11:00 PM

"If you want to, sure."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 05-Jun-21 11:09 PM

*He nodded and he went downstairs to make some bacon and eggs with a side of toast. While doing that he hummed*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 05-Jun-21 11:24 PM

*She went over to her clothes, thrown off last night in a frenzy of passion. She pulled her underwear then her pants, and a t shirt she wore underneath the dress shirt.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:06 AM

*He finishes making the food and plates them. He even puts a little mint on the side* "Mmm'mm I am good"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 12:17 AM

"Wow, they look really nice." *She descended the stairs to the ground floor.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:20 AM

"Mhm, all made from scratch." *He sets the plates on the table and gets out orange juice to pour into glasses*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 12:22 AM

"Laid the eggs yourself, huh?" *She kidded him.* (edited)

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:24 AM

"No, I get them from the farmers market" *He opens the chair for her to sit in*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 12:25 AM

"I'm kidding." *She said, hair a mess.* "I slept well, what about you?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:26 AM

"I..to be honest I never slept better in my life" *He said tidying his hair*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 12:33 AM

*She smiled.* "She began to eat the food.\* "Hey, uh, what you wanna do later?"

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:37 AM

"Depends on what you would like to do, were still on shore leave so..I would like to know you more" *He said as he sat down and ate*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 12:39 AM

"I'll do anything, really, whatever you wanna do."

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 12:41 AM

"Maybe go out somewhere?" *He suggested*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 06-Jun-21 01:22 AM

“I’ll go anywhere you want to go.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 06-Jun-21 01:28 AM

"Maybe to the mall? The park? Or...maybe the movies?" *He said*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 12:52 AM

“We can watch movies here though.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 12:53 AM

"Perhaps showing first then come back to watch?" *He added*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 02:23 AM

“We can do more “stuff” here, I mean.” *She gave a sly smile.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 02:24 AM

"Errm..*ahem* I mean if its all the same with you, I'd like to know you more" *He said*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 02:32 AM

“Sorry, of course, I mean in general, not now obviously.”

“But yeah, I’d love to get to know you more.”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 02:33 AM

"Of..course" *He takes the empty plates and sets them in the sink to wash later and sits down*

"Tell me about yourself"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 02:40 AM

“So, I’m an only child, I recently turned 26, well I guess not recently, it was more than half a year ago, my dad was in starfleet, I’m the quartermaster, I originally wanted to do Tactical but I decided against it. What else do you wanna know?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 02:44 AM

"Any well known facts?" *He asked*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 02:44 AM

“What do you mean?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 02:45 AM

"I mean, something which makes you...well you"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 02:50 AM

“I love to read about history, I have a cat, uh…” *Her voice trailed off, thinking.*

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 02:50 AM

*He tilted his head listening to her*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 07-Jun-21 03:11 AM

“What else besides nosy and history do you wanna hear about?”

Ensign Gabriel Monroe 07-Jun-21 10:14 AM

"Hmm..anything you can throw in?"
