Sentinel 12/24

[9:41] [DOIC] Jillian@liorexus: ** A Very Daedalus Omega Holiday Special:  Part II.  Sleighbells ring, the Citadel is decorated, you all know the drill by now. **

[9:45] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: *Eren had found her way back to the bar lounge, peering into the crowds.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Some of the Protector's crew has filtered in the lounge, while the others are busy in the holodeck.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] *Walks in to the lounge with her normal confident and happy walk*

[9:49] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *On the Protector, Damian and Bore were released after the shift ended.*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She caught a glimpse of Zee and smirked shamelessly, leaning back against the bar and waiting for her turn to order.*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *A familiar face waves at Sereya.*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She glanced over with a bemused grin.  What was this, a reunion?*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Chavez points to Sereya and smirks at his fellow Deltas, having recovered from previous events.*

[9:52] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] *Walks up to the bar and leans against it, waiting for her turn and waves to Eren* "Why hello there!"

[9:52] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *Immediately catching on, she winked at the assembled Deltas before she looked back at Zee.*  "I see you're feeling better."

[9:53] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *after logging out of Spacr from the PADD given to him, he makes straight for sickbay*

[9:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was a lovely piece...holiday stuff, right?

[9:53] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *In sickbay, Magreilr is the only one currently on duty.*

[9:54] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill nodded with a soft smile.*  "One of the classics.  I thought it was appropriate..."

[9:54] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *he slowly approaches Mag* Uhm.. is Dalby still here?

[9:54] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Of course, crashlanding is tots rough but just takes some time and back on the legs, How are you?"

[9:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* This is a lovely area...reminds me of home with more trees.

[9:54] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin walks into the lounge to the bar, glancing around and also carrying a big red bag over his shoulder

[9:55] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] Ensign Dalby is here to be monitored for another 24 hours.

[9:55] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Yeah ok.. uhm.. is she awake?

[9:55] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Oh, I know that well enough.  Just never seen one so... intense.  You actually had me worried for a moment there."  *She glanced at Sin with a raised brow.*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill nodded.*  "Hopefully I can take you to the real place, some day."

[9:56] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] Yes.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Thats tots sweet of you, I admit been a wile since I flew that hard, higer you fly hader you fall when its time to land"

[9:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Can we explore some?

[9:57] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "What can I say, I've had a lot of practice.  Not so much in this host, you could say you were a... test to see if I still had it."

[9:57] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: *Spotting eren he scans her surrounding area for a certain fairy, not finding her, he ten turns around, continuing his hunt*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Apparently, I do."

[9:57] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Spotting eren he scans her surrounding area for a certain fairy, not finding her, he ten turns around, continuing his hunt*

[9:58] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Cool if I visit her? or are you just going to kick me out of here?

[9:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Yeah, of course... it's set for the winter months, though.  While it doesn't get cold enough to snow around here, it does get pretty chilly."

[9:58] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] I have no reason to do so, Ensign. *He motions to her biobed.*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh? Why im delighted to bee your test subject, its awes. let me know if you need one more often" *she grins*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She watched Sin leave bemusedly before returning her attention to Zee.*  "Well, that would be breaking the rule, wouldn't it?"

[9:59] [DOIC5] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Skye] *Is in her quarters, plotting her little big plan Kethmas edition*

[10:00] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *slowly he approaches the mentioned biobed with its single occupant*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *after handing Patterson his early christmas present he reappears near the bar and heads for eren* You seen skye? I thought she'd be somewhere close to you.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "One to confirm the rule as they say? But yea I tots know the feeling. Attachments are super not awes stuffs. yet cant help to feel you would not develop em for me in that way. Thats>

[10:02] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Kara is slightly sitting up in the biobed, reading something. She glances up at Damian.* You should transfer to security.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > Soemthign awes, by the ways, Not saying it negative!" *She winks*

[10:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Do you need something better to wear?

[10:02] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She shook her head.*  "Haven't seen wing nor hair of her since the other night."  *She raised a brow at Zee then.*

[10:03] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Why? because I'd probably cause another fight in engineering, or because I hit hard? *he raises a hand toward her, wincing slightly* Which I'm really sorry for..

[10:04] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Skye is the Tots adore little girl with wings? And hello there!" *She smiles to Sin*

[10:04] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You hit...really hard. Don't apologize for that...I knew what I was doing. What you should be sorry for was thinking it was a good idea to try to headbutt the chief of security.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She couldn't help but chuckle with that.*  "I must have really made an impression, then."  *She glanced between Zee and Sin.*  "You two've met, right?"

[10:04] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he glances at Zee briefly before returning the smile* Nope.. not at all.. I'm Sinez.

[10:05] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *he shrugs* I was heated.. Sorry..

[10:05] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "I am no one, really. but you can call me Zee as 'noone really' is tots of a bothersome designation in a conversation, or to shout for"

[10:05] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill shook her head.*  "No, I was just letting you know.  There are a few trails around here, if you want to go on one, or we can just venture into the woods.  Though I kind of already know all the..

[10:05] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: terrain."

[10:06] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby[ Well it was partly my fault for thinking it was a good idea to try to heal burned bridges in one day.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "You keep being purposefully vague like that and we're going to start thinking you've got something to hide," *Eren smirked.*

[10:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Then...lead the way?

[10:07] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Perhaps" *she winks*

[10:07] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill grinned and released her grip on his back, sliding her hand into his own and squeezing as she lead him to the back door and past her archery range.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "How mysterious," *she remarked as the bartender finally got to her.*  "Pear cider, and whatever the redhead wants."

[10:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows her.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Bartender] Comin' up.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Ill take a applecider, please" *she looks coyly to Eren "Perhaps your interegation was not as trough as you thought if I still hold mysteries, hmm?"

[10:11] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Keeping hold of his hand she lead him between the brush and redwoods, the occasional call of a bird heard from far overhead.*

[10:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: ( https://img.hipcamp.com/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,h_1200,q_60,w_1920/v1423759889/campground-photos/gmbzkucqvdqyhveeqmcs.jpg )

[10:12] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The bartender provides them with their drinks.*

[10:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Wow...it's beautiful.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She picked up her glass, studying Zee for a moment before she took another sip.*  "Perhaps you are just more complex than I had the time for."

[10:15] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Perhaps so? Shoud you not atleast complete your investigations if such is the case?" *She muses in response, leaning confidently on the bar clearly enjoying this*

[10:16] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill nodded.*  "Some of the tallest trees that exist on my planet, it makes for a sight that's hard to match."

[10:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Where are we headed>

[10:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: ?

[10:18] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *The blonde trill chuckled at that.*  "And violate the rule?  My morality doesn't bend as easily as you do, sweetheart."

[10:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, I already showed you my Fortress of Solitude, so I thought I would take you to see the bay.  From above this time."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] *giggles* "Naw, Im tots sure you broken some rules before, and its one to confirm a rule they say no? Besides... even from my positions I tots saw you enjoyed it" *she smiples and takes asip"

[10:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "When it suits me.  Perhaps this time, it suits me to see you squirming in denial."  *She nonchalantly took a sip, batting her lashes.*

[10:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Sure you won't mind the uphill climb?" *she chuckled as they went along a trail that seemed only present in Jill's memory.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh touche!" *she grins with a hint of flaring of her cheeks as she takes another sip, watching the blonde trill intensly*

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'll survive.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She grinned cheekily at Zee and set her drink down on the counter.*  "You've been enjoying your stay, then."

[10:27] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh why I tots have. And you?"

[10:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *After a kilometer or two they arrived at a rocky outcropping that rendered a small area free of the presence of trees and brush, providing a clear view of the coast some distance below them.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Woah.

[10:30] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I've been having my fun, as you know."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Tots do"

[10:31] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill turned to him then, draping her arms over Li and grinning.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Almost makes you wish we didn't have to return to duty.  But it does get a little stale after a while.  Particularly the music.  Why do humans insist on playing the same handful of songs...

[10:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and wraps his arms around her back.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: again and again, just with variations on the sex of the singer or the melody?"

[10:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill touched her forehead against Li's, holding him close.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "No idea, I could play you something new on the piano. And I donno about you, but I tots enjoy my leave and wont be bored for atleast a month"

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li locks eyes with her.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I'll survive, and I'm not saying I don't enjoy my leave.  Quite the opposite.  I just happen to have left some fascinating shit out there and I was hoping we could get back to it soon," *she..

[10:37] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: chuckled.*

[10:37] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled softly.*  "Love you."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and whispers.* Love you too. *He looks around.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Tots understandeble sweets, all the science to be done as the awes galaxy slowly reveals itself to us"

[10:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Looking for something?" *she whispered back, rocking slightly as she held him.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "You have no idea.  Just the other week we saw three lifeless planets go through millions of years of growth and evolution in just moments.  And then we saw it happen again with a planet that..

[10:40] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: was moments from being torn asunder."  *She grinned.*  "It's shit like this that makes me glad I chose the science division."

[10:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: JUst taking it all in.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "I can imagine! That sounds tots awes! I applied to science but they did not want me" *She laughts*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he quirks a brow* Why? Scores were too low?

[10:43] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled.*  "It does sort of remind me of the forest we went to on your program, though.  Trees were shorter, though."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Or for... personal reasons?" *she chuckled.*

[10:43] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] He swung first! That wasn't my fault

[10:44] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Scores to low"

[10:44] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he nods* At least you went ahead and gave yourself the chance..

[10:44] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Takes all types to run a starship.  Where'd you end up, anyway?"

[10:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "I want to be joined, and evidence points to quitters dont get there" *she grins* "Oh If I could not help imrpve the world I thought id go for defeating those nasty things that tries to make>

[10:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > it a worse place and all"

[10:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh yeah, these are massive.

[10:46] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "That they don't.  You've got to find a way to stand out after all."

[10:47] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Kara rolls her eyes.* You instigated part of it by suggesting he couldn't work with you on his console.

[10:47] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Tots do!"

[10:48] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he glances at Zee* Like I said.. at least you gave yourself a chance..

[10:48] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill felt herself turning bright red even before she leaned in to murmur,* "You should feel right at home, then..."

[10:48] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] He can work at a different console.. just not next to me..

[10:49] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She regarded Zee for a while before she nodded.*  "Worst thing you can do is not try."

[10:49] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby[ You two need to find a way to fix this. Just...not today?

[10:51] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "If your not in it to win it and in it to the end, should probs not waste the time if your only going half way. I endured prologned torture traning that was more plesant then the symbiosis >

[10:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks at her, confused for a moment before his eyes go wide and he covers his mouth to stiffle a laugh.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > symbiosis comittee. But it will be tots worth it"

[10:52] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Torture training, huh?  That would explain things..." *Eren smirked as she drank her cider.*

[10:52] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Nah.. maybe in a week.. actually yeah no.. *he rests his hand on her thigh* I'm beginning to feel extremely sorry for you now.. this is twice.

[10:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill gave him a bashful smile before she reached to take his hand from his mouth and offer a firm kiss.*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] *Winks playfully at Eren and studies Sinez for a bit*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he raises his brow ever so slightly*

[10:53] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby[ Don't worry about me. Worry about kobay when you two are assigned together and start shit.

[10:53] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby] She has enough as it is.

[10:54] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] As long as he keeps that thing he calls a mouth shut I'm good..

[10:54] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Kara sighs.* Go enjoy yourself on the Citadel.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he grins at Eren* Just one hmm?

[10:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li can't help but smile as they kiss.* You are worse than I am...

[10:55] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She shot him a grin back.*  "Just the one."

[10:55] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *shaking his head* Nah.. somone's gotta pester you and Mag.

[10:56] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Care to let me in on the secret?"

[10:56] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "The student has surpassed the master?" *she teased.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Oh, he asked me last night how many people I slept with since we've been docked."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he chuckles* Oh but aren't you a part of the secret?

[10:58] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Ah, tots makes sense now."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She checked her PADD.*  "Looking to remain one for the time being, too."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Naw. That sucks"

[11:00] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Even when she's not thinking of it, she's gifting me eskimo siblings.. *he said flatly*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I'm building a big, happy intergalactic family for you, Kodor," *she chortled.*

[11:00] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby[ Damian Snow...go have fun.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Lost me there"

[11:01] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: YOu really took the whole keth ideology to heart eh? *he smirks*

[11:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Perhaps.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Hey, it's a good system."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he peers over at Zee* We have something in common was the gist of that.

[11:02] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] I just wanted to make things clear on how sorry I really am ok?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh? do we now?" *she grins* "How delish"

[11:02] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Or maybe it's something that was always there, you just... brought it out of me," *she teased.*

[11:03] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *There was a low growl from behind Li.*

[11:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You've made it clear.

[11:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Uhhh...

[11:04] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he flags the bartender down for some eggnog* Mhmm.. *glances over at her* Now you're not as lost now hmm?

[11:04] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill blinked, tilting her head to look.*  "What the hell... I thought I deleted the bears from this program..."

[11:05] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Ok.. see ya! *he gives her a quick pat on the thigh before leaving sickbay*

[11:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li slowly turns around.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "I could say something about her eyes, but thats tots cheezy"

[11:05] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Behind Li was a massive, pitch black bear with a light brown muzzle.  It looked -pissed.-*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh.. yeah.. watch them roll like boulders..

[11:06] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "I was hinting at getting lost in them but I guess the tots blunt boulders comemnt works if thats your fancy"

[11:07] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Well now I won't just to spite you, Kodor."  *She smirked.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh come now Eren.. I thought you were the kind and caring kind of person.. *he grins*

[11:08] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: *Damian was indeed out to have some fun tonight.. well him for sure at least*

[11:08] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "...Uh.  Computer, freeze program."  *The bear reared up on its hind legs then.*  "Uhh..."

[11:08] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sheilds Jill with his body.*

[11:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sheilds Jill with his body.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "The kindest and most caring, as far as anyone's concerned."

[11:10] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill whispered quickly,* "I think there must've been some kind of glitch when I transferred my files back..."

[11:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sounds...familiar.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Why I agree!"

[11:11] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She glanced down at her PADD, typing rapidly.*  -Text- They let you out?

[11:11] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Alright kind and most caring person.. You think little Skye's gonna like a plushie with wings?

[11:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill cringed as the bear suddenly charged forward, gripping his arm to try and pull them both away before the creature could barrel into the site they'd just been standing at.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Naww, sounds tots adore"

[11:13] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *as he oddly bumps into a crewman* -text- Yea the let me out duh.. where you at?

[11:13] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] -Text- Citadel lounge.  *She then looked up again.*  "Uh... what do you think?  It has wings," *she grinned.*

[11:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li continues to place himself firmly between her and the bear.*

[11:14] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: It can even talk.. I think she'd be super ecstatic about it. but shh. it's a secret.

[11:14] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Williams] Hey! Watch it.

[11:15] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Ahh bite me! Man's trying to get laid.. *types out* -text- Bet, see you soon.

[11:16] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Williams had already moved to another hallway.*

[11:16] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Can I see when she opens it?"

[11:16] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *The beast nearly skidded off the outcropping, rounding on them again.*  "Maybe we can send it flying over the edge?!"

[11:17] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I wouldn't dare spoil a surprise for Skye," *she grinned as she turned off her PADD and looked at the bartender.*  "Get me two shots of tequila set up, would you?"

[11:17] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I don't see why not?

[11:17] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I...don't know. I just know I'm not going to let it touch you.

[11:18] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I...don't know. I just know I'm not going to let it touch you.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Bartender] Double already?

[11:19] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Awes! Where is she?"

[11:19] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well we have to do something!" *she exclaimed as it began to charge them once more.  She seized hold of Li again, this time trying to move toward the other side of the edge, where there was a...

[11:19] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he squints at the bartender, he looked oddly familiar* You heard the lady. *then looks at Zee* I have no clue, I figured she would be near her bestest friend.

[11:19] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: much steeper fall.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is moved but he continues to stand in front of her.*

[11:20] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is moved but he continues to stand in front of her.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] "Can you not call her?"

[11:20] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Yeah, Kodor, maybe she's waiting for an invitation," *she chuckled.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: An invitation what are those? *he fishes out his combadge from his robes* =^= Kodor to Lieutenant Skye.

[11:22] [DOIC5] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Skye] =^= "Yes Sir commander?"

[11:23] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Several hundred pounds of holo-muscle barreled toward Li and Jill, snarling and roaring as it tried to plough into Li.*

[11:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Eren has two shots presented to her.*

[11:23] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *Saunters into the lounge and over toward Eren, it didn't take him long to find a certain blonde*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: =^= Hey Skye.. I got a present for you.. Mind coming down to the bar at the citadel?

[11:24] [DOIC5] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Skye] =^= A perent for meeeee? Yay!!! Oki doki I be there suepr soon!

[11:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *But the two were able to move out of the beast's way in time as it went right over the edge, snarling ferociously even as it tumbled down the mountainside.  Jill clung to Li from behind him, ...

[11:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: staring over the side.*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: There ya go.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She nodded to the barman, then glanced back out.  Seeing Damian approaching, she raised her brows and then a single hand as she leaned on the counter.*  "Well, there you are."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Little Skye should be on her way soon.

[11:26] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill looked back at him, then smacked his shoulder lightly with a chuckle.*  "Always so casual..."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee] *smiles some to herself before studying Eren again* "Delish"

[11:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...I was scared out of my mind.

[11:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill laughed softly, then leaned in to kiss him on the cheek.*  "You didn't show it."

[11:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It helped to have a singular goal.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill pinkened faintly, then reached to tilt his head over to give him a more proper kiss.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Yep, here I am.. *he studies her as well* You're looking good.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I know."  *She smirked, motioning to the shots.*  "Tequila?"

[11:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li kisses her back, not paying attention to any other wildlife.*

[11:31] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Flies in to the bar on swift wings, wearing her white little dress and high heel boots* "Hiiiiii!!!"

[11:31] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *sin turns around to study the young looking ensign*

[11:32] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She grinned as their lips parted.*  "So... keep hiking and hope we don't run into any more of those?  Or should we head back to the house?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Oh you read my mind.. *he smirks, stepping up to the bar and sliding a glass closer to her* Nice little warmup.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin smiles down at Skye, waving her over* Hey Skye! Come here.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Gotta loosen you up, after all," *she remarked before grinning up at Skye.*  "Hello, Skye!"

[11:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe we should...what is it called...where you stay outside?

[11:33] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "...Stay outside?" *she laughed.*

[11:33] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Flies over to Eren to give her a affectionate hug and then flies over to Sinez to do the same*

[11:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: No...like...it's a trip outside...you have temporary shelter.

[11:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Camping?"

[11:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes! I think that's that word.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She returned the hug gently before she let her fly off to Sin.  She picked up the shotglass and looked at Damian, studying him.*

[11:35] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee] *Looks at Sereya, then Skye, then Sines, then back at Sereya. smiling coyly*

[11:35] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "There are some good spots around here where I know people like to set up tents.  Would be easy to have the computer give us one, if it's not glitching too badly still."

[11:36] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *he eyes the fairy briefly before bringing up the shotglass up close to his mouth* What? I know how to take a shot.

[11:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Waves at Damian and Alizee*

[11:37] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "I'd be worried if you didn't.  Cheers," *she said, downing hers with a slight wince.*  "...Should've asked for lime."

[11:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Exactly.

[11:38] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill considered it for a moment.*  "Well, we'll probably have the holodeck to ourselves for some time yet... could camp out tonight and go back to the house for tomorrow morning."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sounds like a plan.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She took Li's hand then.*  "I know just the place, too."

[11:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She proceded to lead him through the woods to another small clearing, this one appearing a bit more manmade by the old firepit near the centre.  She began listing off commands to the computer, and...

[11:42] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *A few Protector crew look over at Sinez and Skye and gawk at Skye's existence. Two of them walk over curiously.*

[11:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: the campsite slowly took form.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *waves friendly to the two aproachers*

[11:43] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Wow...it's a fairy!

[11:44] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *She waves to skye, meazmurized.*

[11:44] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Noooooo? I am a Nymia"

[11:44] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Nymina

[11:46] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] A what?

[11:46] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "A Nymina!" *She happily exclaims*

[11:47] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Ny...mina?

[11:47] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yeeees!"

[11:51] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *downs his quickly as well, smacking his lips together before he eyes the fairy next to the trill* friends ?

[11:51] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin pulls out a small box present beautifully wrapped and hands it to Skye*

[11:52] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Happily holds up her arms to accept her gift*

[11:52] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I couldn't wait until tomorrow to hand it to you.. go on.. open it little one. *he smiles*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She nodded.*  "My crew, ship-wise and otherwise," *she chuckled.*

[11:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Nice.

[11:54] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee] *Watches the not-fairy take her gift*

[11:55] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill turned back to Li once it was finished, beaming.*  "Anything I missed?"

[11:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You are far more knowledgable than I am.

[11:57] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "True.  I spent a lot of time in tents with my mom," *she nodded as she turned to walk into the campsite, settling into a folding chair near the firepit that was now stacked with logs.*

[11:57] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "May I open it?"

[11:58] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She watched Skye with a grin.*  "Of course you can!"

[11:59] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: That's why I handed it to you now.. *he smiles*

[11:59] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *He grins as well* Aww she's cute looking.

[11:59] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yay!!!" *eagerly begins unwrapping her gift*

[11:59] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Purest soul I've ever met, too," *she chuckled and called for another round of tequila.*

[12:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good idea, right?

[12:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm.  Especially if you like the... naturalistic route," *she teased.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Unwraps a fairy plushie that some may recognize as tinkerbelle from earth fairy tales, as she sees it she squeals in pure joy, her aura flaring up as she forgets to control it and projects her joy >

[12:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What could you mean by that? *Li sticks his tongue out.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: > all around her as she hugs her new plushie*

[12:05] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sinez beams down at the little jewel as he feels the joy radiating from her*

[12:05] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *Her grin got wider and wider then.*  "Maker, have you seen such an adorable sight?"

[12:06] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *nodding* Is it too late to ask for a transfer?

[12:06] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh maker" *She smiles*

[12:07] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "You'd have to explain to your captain that you saw a sight too good and too pure for words," *she chuckled.*

[12:07] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Merry christmas little skye.. *stil smiling*

[12:08] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Eh.. he'd understand..

[12:08] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Thank you so much!!!" *Hugs herself and her fairy plushie to Sinez leg*

[12:10] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She nodded.*  "We could make her the Adagio's recruitment mascot and we'd have so many people on board that we couldn't leave dock."

[12:10] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *once SKye hugged herself and the plushie into his leg a sweet cheery voice emanated from the plushie* "I love you!"

[12:11] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *squeals in joy once more* "She talks!"

[12:11] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I love you too!"

[12:11] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he laughs and reaches down to gently pat her head* Yes she does.. I thought you'd like that..

[12:12] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "Want to be my friend!?"

[12:12] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yes!" *She nods*

[12:13] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "You're my best friend!"

[12:13] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "...Maker, my head is about to explode into little pieces of candy from this cuteness overload."

[12:14] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he then glances over at Eren* I think you two got some competition now..

[12:15] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Flutters her wings in joy* "Awwwww!!! But you shout not have bestest friend because if you ahve bestest friends you always try to think of who is bestest and it is competition where affection is >

[12:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: > never competision and like should never spend time when you are with super lovely friends comparing who is the friendiest friend, isntead thrive with the friends you have and tresure them for the >

[12:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: > treasures they bring to your life!" *She happily isntructs the plushies AI/VI*

[12:16] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren]  "I'm not wor---"  *She stared at Skye for a long moment.*  "...I think you may have gone too deep for a plushie there, Skye."

[12:17] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Awww I am sorry!" *she lovingly embraces her plushie tighter*

[12:18] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee] *Was not really ready for a dose of skyes strange wisdom in the middle of the cuteness overload and looks shocked but close to overload*

[12:18] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sinez merely blinks at that mouthful* Wow Skye..

[12:18] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: *Eren then took her next shot.*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *Followed suit after that as well* That.. just made perfectly clear sense to me.. is that normal?

[12:19] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren]  "Yep.  If you do transfer over you'd get used to it," *she smirked.*

[12:21] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sinez pushes the bag full of presents over the counter at this point* I'm good.. this one right here just made my night.

[12:21] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "What, you got such a good reaction no one else needs presents now?" *she laughed.*

[12:21] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *continues to lovingly hugging her fairy plushie*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh you right.. there's one for you in there.. but.. you're *he eyes Damian* busy..

[12:23] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She raised a brow.*  "Too busy for my present?"

[12:23] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee] "That should never hapend"

[12:24] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *looks at the fairy plushie* "Hi?"

[12:28] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Well actually your present is a.. way out type present.. if you know what I mean..

[12:28] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "Hi! Can I have another hug?"

[12:28] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yes!" *Hugs her fairy again*

[12:28] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "'Way out?'  Now you've got my attention."

[12:29] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I'm not one to cockblock though.. Like I said.. Skye's reaction sealed the night for me.

[12:30] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *mouths the words 'way out?'*

[12:30] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She eyed Sin for a moment, then beckoned for the next shot.  She shrugged at Damian.*

[12:31] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he smirks before glancing at Dame* Merry christmas.

[12:32] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *takes his next shot* Is he always that nice?

[12:32] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "What's your name!?"

[12:32] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "It's a special time of year," *she smirked at Dame.*

[12:33] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Skye!"

[12:33] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "What a lovely name!"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Thank you! What is your name?"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] *eyes the bartender, signaling for a refil*

[12:34] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Plushie] "What do you want to call me!?"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Hmmmmmm...." *She thinks for a little bit*

[12:35] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "So, going to tell me how you got locked in the brig again?" *she chuckled as she took the next shot, leaning her hip on the counter.*

[12:36] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] I got socked in the face by a fellow engineer.. then my chief of security came barreling down on us.. fun night.. *he grins*

[12:36] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] "Well, it's good to know that other ships have proactive security chiefs," *she snorted.*

[12:37] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] There's ships like that? Well that blows chunks..

[12:38] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She laughed.*  "Some of us have to wait more than fifteen minutes for security to show up."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: [Damian] Really? Some of us don't even get to see the chief until after the fighting is over.

[12:39] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Zeiiva!" *She exclaism after some thinking*

[12:39] [DOIC1] Jillian@liorexus: [Eren] *She shrugged at that.*  "I'm sure there's a decent one somewhere."

[1:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What could you mean by that? *Li sticks his tongue out.*

[1:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill smiled demurely.*  "I think you know what I meant."

[1:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: An assumption is the mother of a mistake. *LI playfully scolds.*

[1:03] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "What about a reasoned estimate based on evidence that's been collected... repeatedly... over the course of several weeks..?"

[1:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li gently grabs her closest ear.*

[1:05] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She raised her brows.*  "Is now really the time for a pagh check?" *she chuckled.*

[1:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Checking for pointy ears.

[1:07] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I think you would've noticed by now if I turned into a Vulcan, Li.'

[1:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well you sounded like one.

[1:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smirks.*

[1:09] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "So Vulcans are the only ones allowed to discuss the scientific method, now?" *she smirked back.*

[1:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...in those terms.

[1:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins.*

[1:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "That doesn't seem fair.  I didn't agree to this," *Jill chuckled.*

[1:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Who said anything about agreeing?

[1:13] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Imposing your will on me, now?"

[1:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thought you'd like that.

[1:15] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill pinkened somewhat.*  "Depends on what else you impose..."

[1:16] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: See?

[1:18] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill laughed softly, shaking her head and turning back to the fire.  She leaned forward with her elbows on her knees, enjoying the warmth it radiated.*  "Do you have any Bajoran holidays like this?"

[1:18] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The Gratitude Festival.

[1:19] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded.*  "Do anything specific during it?"

[1:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: A lot of different things.

[1:22] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She chuckled.* "Well, do you have a favourite?"

[1:24] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hmmmm.

[1:25] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill leaned over to rest her head against his shoulder.*

[1:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The renewal scrolls.

[1:26] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked at Li curiously with that.*  "Oh?"

[1:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Mmmmhmmm

[1:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill chuckled and nuzzled his shoulder a little.*  "Well, what do they renew?  Is it some reaffirmation to the Prophets or something?"

[1:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You write your problems on the scrolls...and they are burned to symbolize placing troubles in the past.

[1:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill looked up at him with that, embracing his arm.* "Hm... motivation to move on from past mistakes, I suppose."

[1:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* It is very important to us.

[1:37] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Makes sense," *she said softly.*  "When does this festival usually go on?"

[1:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: For you it would be late spring, early summer.

[1:41] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "A little ways away.  But I guess we can wait, if that means Christmas in late spring, early summer."

[1:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She shot him a grin.*

[1:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Christmas...sure. *Li chuckles.*

[1:43] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, you said it was similar," *she teased.*

[1:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...humans have unique holidays.

[1:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Human existence was pretty miserable for a couple centuries.  People had to come up with some way to lighten the mood a couple times every season lest the peasants revolt."

[1:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Peasants...revolt?

[1:50] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Humans have a history of rising up and overthrowing the ruling class every now and then," *she shrugged.*  "They usually deserved it."

[1:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Wow.

[1:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Don't worry, I think we got it out of our systems around the time we got the concept of a ruling class out of our systems."  *She chuckled.*  "But... that's hardly appropriate discussion for tonight.

[1:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "

[1:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over to her.* Oh?

[1:55] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, it's the holidays.  I think we're supposed to pick lighter topics.  Do you want something to drink?"

[1:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[1:56] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "In the mood for anything?"

[1:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I like when you surprise me.

[2:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "The feeling's mutual," *she teased as she sat up.*  "Computer..." *She waited for the acknowleding chime.*  "Two cups of... spiced wine, hot."  *A tray appeared on the table behind them, the...

[2:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: glasses complete with cinnamon sticks and orange slices.  Jill got up to grab them and bring Li his.*

[2:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Spiced?

[2:04] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm, with honey and cloves and cinnamon and some other things I can't really remember.  It's good for the cold months."

[2:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Cool

[2:05] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Warm, actually," *she chuckled and handed him his cup.*

[2:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a sip.* I didn't know wine could be warm.

[2:08] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Someone had the crazy idea one day, I suppose," *she chuckled as she followed suit.*

[2:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li downs the glass.*

[2:09] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill stared at him.*

[2:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What?

[2:10] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "You realise that not everything I hand you is a shot, yeah?" *she laughed as she got to her feet again.*

[2:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.*

[2:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I feel warm.

[2:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "You should," *she teased, leaning over his chair to kiss him.*

[2:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns the kiss in kind.*

[2:13] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill drew back then.*  "You getting tired?"

[2:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li winks at her.* Maybe...

[2:15] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled widely at the wink.*  "Not too tired, I hope..."

[2:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Nope.

[2:16] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill then raised her glass to her lips and downed it in the same fashion that Li had his.*

[2:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Now who's downing it like shots.

[2:18] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I'm catching up," *she chuckled, her cheeks already colouring from the warmth of the alcohol.  She headed over to the tent.*

[2:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows over.*

[2:21] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill stepped through the tent flaps, inspecting the interior.*  "Not bad..."

[2:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows and wraps his arms around her.*

[2:23] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled softly at the feeling of his embrace, leaning back against Li.*  "This is the first holiday I've ever spent... well, you know.  With someone," *she said softly.*

[2:24] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li closes his eyes.* That's...well...it makes me sad in a way.

[2:25] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked over at Li then.*  "Don't be.  If there's anyone I'd like to experience all these firsts with... it's definitely you."

[2:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and smiles.*

[2:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Speaking of firsts..." *her voice dropped low, as if she were whispering the unspeakable,* "This will be the first time in a tent..."

[2:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.*
