Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 09:36 AM

*Skylaris walked in into her appartment after beaming down to Rotterdam. Finally, time to relax and enjoy some alone time. She layed down on her couch with a cup of tea. She wrote a message to her new friends and smiled, hopefully they'd join her sooner rather than later.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 01:46 PM

*Reading the message she got from Pax made her smile. She got up and walked to her spare bedroom, preparing it for Pax. It wasn't much, but it would do for the time being.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 03:02 PM

*Pax knocked, and lifted hat sunglasses onto her sunhat and checked her bug repellent was still working.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 03:04 PM

*She smiled and walked to the door, wearing a blue shirt and some ripped jeans. Her hair was in a tail this time around.* "Hey Pax! How are you?" *She smiled brightly standing to the side.* "Please, come in! Make yourself at home."

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 03:06 PM

*She grinned and removed her sunhat before entering.* “I am excellent, how are you?” *She asked, setting her sandals to the side.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 03:08 PM

*She grinned back at her.* "I'm great!" *She said as she walked to the kitchen area.* "Want something to drink? Maybe a snack?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 03:10 PM

“Something to drink would be nice, it’s beautiful here by the way. I haven’t actually spent time on Earth in decades, I’ve forgotten how pretty the human homeworld is,” *She said, following Sky.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 03:12 PM

*She chuckled.* "Oh believe me, you haven't seen downtown yet. Way more vibrant and lively." *She smiled and got her some ice tea with ice and a slice of lemon, home-made of course. She made another glass for herself and handed one to Pax.* "Here you go, Vidi." *She smiled at her.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 03:14 PM

*She sipped at the drink, and smiled brightly.* “Ooh this is nice, thank you,” *She said, taking another sip.* “So, how have you been? Enjoying being home?”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 03:17 PM

"No problem. It's home-made ice tea. Took quite some time to make." *She chuckled and guided her to the sitting area.* "You have no idea. It's so nice to smell that harbour again, see the people, live a life *without* officers on your back asking you things untill you collapse." *She laughed a little, sitting down.* "And you? Enjoying being back in our universe?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 03:20 PM

“I feel the officers thing, don’t get me wrong we’ve got a good batch I think. But it’s nice not to have to be on guard for orders or going to attention, I’m so glad to be back in our universe. All the subspace we could ever want, and no hiding behind a moon!”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 03:23 PM

*She chuckled a little.* "The attention thing is annoying sometimes. Hurts my back to stand up straight for that long." *She smiled and sipped some of her ice tea.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 05:54 PM

*Vidira nodded.* “I’d forgotten how much coming to attention there was until I enlisted again, well not that it was me who was enlisted last time, that was Nazir,” *She chuckled.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 11-May-21 05:59 PM

"Oh you're joined?!" *She grinned brightly.* "That's so cool!!" *She looked at her, quite excited.* "You have to tell me *everything*"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 11-May-21 06:06 PM

*She nodded.* “Yes, I am indeed joined. I don’t think we’ve got time for five lifetimes of stories, but if there’s anything specific you want to know I’ll answer your questions,” *She said, giving Skylaris a warm smile.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 12:48 AM

*She thought for a while.* "What is the most spectacular thing you've done in all your lives?" *She looked at her and smiled, raising an eyebrow.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 10:37 AM

“Wow starting out strong here, are we?” *She grinned.* “I can’t talk about a few of them, they’re classified. There was a whole to do about it when I was joined with Pax, but Kedzia. Pax’s first host helped advance trill warp technology, some of the technology she helped develop is still in use today,”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 10:42 AM

"Wow... That's quite some time ago, wasn't it?" *She chuckled softly.* "I can't imagine how many years of experience you have in that slug of yours."

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 12:08 PM

*Slug? Vidira started to laugh hard.* “The symbiosis commission would have a **coronary** if they heard you call a cherished symbiont a slug,” *She giggled, wiping her eyes as they watered with tears of mirth.* “Science, outdated engineering, archeology, all bundled up into a squishy package, Skylaris you crack me up,” *She said falling into another fit of laughter.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 12:56 PM

*She laughed with her, just a tad quieter however.* "I can't help it! It just looks like a slug!" *She giggled and looked at her.* "Skylaris Everglast, cracker of Trill." *She said in an epic narration voice, falling into laughter shortly after.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 01:04 PM

“They are pretty squishy looking, though they’re oddly colourful too. I think they’re cute, but I’m biased considering I have one all snug and cozy behind my spleen somewhere,” *She chuckled, before taking another sip.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 01:06 PM

"You can say that again, Vidi." *She chuckled and took a sip of her ice tea.* "So, do you want do something in particular whilst you're sleeping over here?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 01:11 PM

“You mentioned a beach I think back on the ship? Oh I meant to ask, is Sara coming along too or did something come up?”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 01:12 PM

"I asked her to join us, I never got a reply however. Maybe you can try?" *She raised an eyebrow and looked at her before smiling.* "The beach is right outside actually. 10 minute walk, tops."

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 01:56 PM

[D] *Ding-dong!*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 02:00 PM

*She smiled and got up, walking to the door and opening it.* "Sara! How are you?" *She grinned brightly and stepped to the side.* "Come in, please. Vidi is already here."

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 02:29 PM

*Sara smiled brightly and put away her PADD, tucking it into her small side-satchel that she'd brought along with her as she walked past the threshold and into the apartment where she promptly slipped off her sandals. It may not be Skylaris' tradition, but she'd never walk through someones home with shoes on.* "Thank you so much for having me over! I hope you were not waiting on me long?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 02:31 PM

*Vidi? That was neat.* “Oh no, I was just telling our dear host here about my slug,” *She started to laugh again, still not quite over it.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 02:32 PM

"Oh, it wasn't that long." *She chuckled a little and walked twards the kitchen, happy to have her new friends here.* "Can I interest you in a glass of home-made ice tea?" *She smiled as she walked backwards, raising an eyebrow. She hit her shoulder against the wall as she walked backwards and started to laugh.* "God, I'm clumsy sometimes." *She shrugged it off and giggled a little at Vidi's comment and called from the hall.* "It's a good nick for it!~"

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 02:57 PM

"Oh ja, thank you! That would be so nice! I have never had 'ice' tea before, always hot tea." *She mused with a bit of a smile as she walked over to Vidira and sitting nearby.* "Hallo Vidira~ You are so lovely in civvies! You are lovely anyhow, but I mean to say more so."

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 03:01 PM

“Oh thank you, you are so sweet! I adore dresses, but my work in the lab prevents me from wearing them very often,” *She said, smiling brightly at Sara.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 03:03 PM

"You'll love it Sara! I promise you." *She grinned and threw her a wink before going in the kitchen, starting to prepare the ice tea. She got some lemon and ice and got the glass bottle out of the fridge. She poured it into a glass and put some ice in it, the clinging sound filling the room. She then cut off a slice of lemon and put it onto the edge of the glass before heading back and handing it to Sara.* "Here you go. Hope you enjoy~" *She smiled and sat down besides the two on one of her chairs.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 03:10 PM

*Sara's eyed widened as Skylaris brought back the iced drink- it was certainly fancy! Iced tea was such an oddity, despite being in Rotterdam- this seemed like an American thing if she was honest, but she wasn't about to be rude to her host. She took the glass gratefully, smiling up at Skylaris before giving a bright 'Thank you!, I know I will.', and turning to Vidira to respond.* "Oh you are welcome! I feel very much the same- I actually got my dress at ESD, I was so eager to get out of uniform I changed in the the public bathroom!" *She chuckled, ruffling them hem of her blue sundress before placing her hand back on her glass of tea and taking a tentative sip.* "This is so lovely, Skylaris, thank you. I do not think I have ever had something like this before, it works so well! You made this on your own?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 03:11 PM

“Your dress is beautiful, I love that shade of blue on you!” *Vidira took a sip of her own iced tea.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 03:16 PM

*She smiled and sipped some ice tea of her own, putting some hair behind her ear.* "No problem! And yes, I did make it on my own. The recipe is my aunt's however. She always knew how to make the best ice tea in town." *She chuckled a bit.* "On the topic of dresses, there are a lot of clothing shops down-town if you want to take a look? They have things from all over the Federation: Orion, Andorian, Betazoid, even Trill!" *She said the last part as she looked at Vidi, smiling brightly.* "So, it's really up to you two girl what you wanna do. "

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 03:18 PM

*Sara's cheeks immediately flushed a bright shade of pink at Vidira's compliment, her head bowing a bit out of humility. How easy it was to compliment, yet how hard it was to accept one. It'd always been one of her bad habits- but sincerely one born of shyness and not disbelief of it.* "Ah- thank you, you are kind to say.." *She looked to Skylaris, thankful for the quick change in subject as she nodded gently, happy to engage in something a bit more girly for once. Dirt and gardening had it's perks, but sometimes? It was just fun to wear a cute dress, show off your legs and go out and have tea.* "I would not mind- I have a trip to Vulcan coming up, so I need a few things for very hot weather. What of you two?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 03:23 PM

“I do love a bit of shopping! With so many different options to choose from how could I say no?” *She said, excited at the prospect. Vidira had a habit of collecting little things from where she’d been, and she was eager to see the different styles.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 03:27 PM

"I could make do with a new bikini to be honest. The one on Odyssey got damaged in the last passing. That and I need a dress for some fancy parties." *She chuckled a little, thinking about what she'd go with. Blue? Green? Maybe pink? She wasn't sure yet, but she sure wanted to try them all! She hasn't shopped in a while, but she sure was excited as well. She had a bright grin on her face as she sipped some more of her ice tea.* "Also, we could go swimming afterwards if you two would like. It's quite close to the towncentre and my appartment, so no problem there." *She smiled at the two.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 03:29 PM

"Bathing suit shopping and then a quick swim to break them in sounds like a good evening to me~" *Sara replied with a smile. She definitely wanted something unique, but she always had such a chore with sizing. Maybe having two other women with her would help.* "When should we go?"

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 03:34 PM

*Ooh bathing suit shopping, yes please! With the variety available to them, this was going to be so much fun!* “I haven’t been swimsuit shopping in ages, I should get a new cover up, maybe another sunhat too? The possibilities!” *Vidira shook her head, she was getting carried away again.* “I’m ready when you two are!”

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 03:43 PM

*She chuckled.* "The subway to the city centre leaves ever 10 minutes. The next one we can catch leaves in 12 minutes or so." *She smiled brightly at the two women before looking to Vidi.* "Oh! Before I forget. Wanna see your room?" *She smiled at her.* "We still have time and you can leave your bags in there."

Dr. Amatea Janaii 12-May-21 03:48 PM

(Sara) "Ah I am sorry. I cannot stay the night, I must pack and head out after we've had our fun. I accidentally scheduled myself a bit thin between several people." *Sara explained with a sad tilt of her head towards Skylaris.* "Unless you meant Vidira than please, by all means." (edited)

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 03:50 PM

"Sara, no worries. You can visit me as much as you want during shore leave and on duty. I won't mind." *She grinned at her.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 04:07 PM

"Thank you so much~" *She responded softly, giving Skylaris a bright smile in return before taking another deep sip of her iced tea.* "Should we be off then?"

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 05:39 PM

"After you!" *She grinned and looked at her and then at Vidi.* "Hey, Vidi. If you're here to stay, your room is the second on the left. You can leave your bags there."

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 05:43 PM

“Sure, I’ll be right back,” *She dashed to the mentioned room, and set her bags down, before grabbing her favourite sunflower bag and hurrying back out.* “I’m so ready for this, just let me get my hat, shoes, and bug-spray and I’ll be right on your heels!” *She settled her hat on her head, grabbed her sunglasses, slipped her sandals back on and stepped outside to reapply the repellent. She was **not** ruining her shore leave by ending up in Starfleet medical with an insect bite reaction!*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 12-May-21 05:45 PM

"Vidi, there aren't any bugs here yet. Most of them don't get active for another month or so. Believe me, there is no need for bug-spray." *She laughed softly.*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 12-May-21 08:44 PM

*Sara stood, setting her glass of tea on the coaster that'd been set on the coffee table, already eager to hit the proverbial road.* "Honestly I would've done the same thing, Vidira, it is okay!~ But since Ms. Skylaris is the local- why do you not show us to your favorite shop, ja? You go and we shall follow."

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 12-May-21 08:52 PM

*She grimaced.* “It’s just not a risk I’m willing to take, the toxins from the bite and ensuing reaction could cause my connection to my symbiont to break down. Which would land my sorry behind in Starfleet medical, and that really isn’t how I want to spend my shore leave,” “Now that I, the finicky alien friend am prepared for the harsh trials of your world, lead on! I’m really excited to see what they have to offer in the shops,” *She winked at them.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 13-May-21 03:17 AM

*She giggled a little and got up, going to a coat rack and grabbing a denim jacket along with some sneakers.* "Well, we've got 8 minutes to catch the subway, so we better get going." *She smiled brightly at the two, putting on her jacket and shoes.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 13-May-21 11:01 AM

(Sara) *Even though she'd come here wearing a short sundress, The weather didn't seem to even phase her despite the cold wind. Perhaps the one perk of living in the icy mountain fjords? She followed Skylaris out quickly, eager to rid her mind of last night's events with new friends and some shopping.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 13-May-21 11:04 AM

*She chuckled and went after her.* "Hey, wait up!" *She looked at Vidi and smiled, walking towards the door.* "Let's go!~"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 13-May-21 11:06 AM

(Do we just show up at shops?)

Lt. Xander Spica 13-May-21 11:11 AM

((#rotterdam we can rp some shops in there

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 13-May-21 11:18 AM

*Reading the PADD she called to Sara and Vidi.* "Ey, you two girls mind of one more joins the party?"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 13-May-21 11:21 AM

(Sara) "Oh I do not mind? More the merrier, ja?" *She replied, giving the redhead a quick smile.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 13-May-21 12:13 PM

“Sure, sounds like fun!” *She grinned.*

Lt. JG Skylaris Everglast BOT 13-May-21 12:22 PM

*She sent a quick message on her PADD and smiled, looking at the two.* "She'll meet us in Rotterdam. Though we'd better leave now. We only have 6 minutes until the next subway!" *She quickly walked out, heading into the city.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 13-May-21 12:31 PM

(Sara) *Sara took one last sip of her tea before heading out the door with a smile, waiting outside for the other girls to follow.*

Ensign Vidira Pax BOT 13-May-21 12:33 PM

*Vidira hurried after them.*
