Pilgrim 12/19

[8:55] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays, now with accompanying sleighbells. **

[8:56] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * The air in the Citadel is slightly cooler lately and smells strongly of pine from the large tree that had been set up in the central promenade by the combined crews currently docked.  Icicles hang..

[8:57] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: glittering from the ceiling and tiny lights have been strung up all over, with various decorations from various species and cultures adorning the walls. *

[8:58] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * There is a general atmosphere of cheer and relaxed joy as the episode begins... *

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *In the Citadel's main lounge, Ettore was standing at the bar waiting for drinks.  Jagoda was in the far corner nursing a bottle of schnapps, and a certain platinum blonde trill was strolling up...

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: from behind Ankos.*

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Counselor," *she said with a slight nod as she leaned onto the bartop and tried to get the tender's attention.*

[9:00] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos was looking at the alcohol menu, trying to make sense of all the strange cocktails on it. He turns slightly, noticing the trill and nods with a smile.* "Hello." *He looks down at the menu and >

[9:00] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Shrugs, giving up, waiting for Eren to be served first.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda] *He stared down Eren with narrowed eyes before pouring another glass.*

[9:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She took her mugs of hot chocolate with a little smile and nodded at the bartender before heading over to the couch where Aria was seated.*  "Hey."

[9:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She raised a brow at Ankos.*  "Unsatisfied with the selection, Counselor?" *she smirked.*  "You don't have to strictly order stuff off the menu, you know."

[9:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is off elsewhere on the station, looking over some engineering schematics of what the Citadel provides for known vessels in the LMC>*

[9:03] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos shakes his head.* "I just can't figure out most of the stuff on here. Who would name a cocktail "Sex on the beach" and not even write what's in it? Aphrodiziacs or something?" *He shakes his

[9:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Head, his loose hair falling in his eyes. He pushes it out of the way, and says.* "I might just go with hot chocolate like that girl did. Can't go wrong with that."

[9:04] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Sits back relaxing reading a padd with a mug of hot choclate*

[9:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A pair of familiar arms slid around Li's waist silently, Jill's chin propped on his shoulder.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hey Nadine. *smiles*

[9:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hey.

[9:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She smirked, looking over at Ankos with that.*  "A Sex on the Beach, just like its namesake, kind of needs to be experienced in the proper mindset.  Hot chocolate's a good idea, but have you..

[9:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: tried the gingerbread cocktails?"

[9:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She smiled and looked at Aria's mug.*  "Oh, I didn't know you already had one," *she laughed.*  "What I get for trying to be helpful.  How's your head?"

[9:08] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smirks at the first part, then shakes his head, his hair proving to be a nuinsance and getting all up in his face again.* "Damn it... no I haven't."

[9:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Hey," *she smiled faintly, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek before loosening her embrace.*  "What're you up to?"

[9:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs* Ok. It was bit rough the morning after. *chuckles* How about you?

[9:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Well, we can't let you leave the station without one, can we?" *she grinned, finally getting the 'tender's attention.*  "Two gingerbread cocktails, and two sugar cookies."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I trust your judgement." *Ankos leans sideways on the counter.* "You've proved your good taste time and again." *He smirks.*

[9:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh just looking over some schematics.

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Rough... definitely covers it," *Nadine couldn't help but chuckle as she sank onto the couch next to Aria.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Any plans for the day?

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She glanced at him bemusedly.*  "Well, that's subjective," *she told him as their drinks arrived, dusted with crushed cookies on the rim.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, that looks great..." *He takes the glass, bringing it up to his nose to take in the aroma.* "Is this alcoholic? Don't want to pull an Ynera on you."

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Try not to get into trouble?  Maybe explore the Citadel a bit or hit up that beach thing?"  *she shrugged.*  "Not a lot else to do on leave."

[9:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded.*  "Anything in particular?"

[9:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah anything that we might encounter in the LMC.

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "It's a cocktail..." *she gave him a flat look.*  "Of course it's alcoholic."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: True ot like they have added too many creature comforts yet.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You've not heard of non-alcoholic cocktails?"

[9:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She chuckled a little.*  "That covers a lot.  You want me to leave you to your research, then?"

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Only the ones we create for ourselves.  Though the decorations are nice.  Almost makes it feel like we're not lightyears away from anything resmbling home."

[9:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* What's up?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Pilly is home and shes just outside. *smiles*

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She snorted.*  "Cocktails without alcohol is like sex without coming, what's the damn point?"

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Nothing much, I just didn't want to bother you if you were busy," *Jill shrugged, glancing off for a moment before returning her focus to Li.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She nodded.*  "I guess so, it's not really mine yet though.  Gotta give it some time."

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos chuckles.* "Never thought of it like that..." *He raises his glass to clink it with hers.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She touched her glass against Ankos' with that.*  "Live as long as me, kid, and the wisdom just flows."

[9:21] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Missing your family back home?

[9:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Not really, was just passing the time with a little extra homework.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He takes a sip.* "Hmm. Nice..." *He looks back to Eren with that.* "Still haven't gotten used to someone looking younger than me calling me "Kid" *He chuckles.* "So, do symbionts live forever, just >

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Changing hosts?"

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She winced slightly.*  "I don't really have anyone back home to miss, after the incident at my colony I was just put into care until I could join Starfleet."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh gosh im so stupid the alcohol must have dissolved my brain im sorry.

[9:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded.*  "Would you care to do some different kind of homework?" *she smiled then.*  "I'm about ready to start testing the latest updates to the DR."

[9:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Symbionts aren't immortal, but they do live for a very long time.  It really depends on the individual, I've known people upwards of eight hundred years old."

[9:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She shook her head and forced a smile.*  "It's okay, you've had way too much on your mind.  I'm not offended..."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "That sounds amazing..." *He smiles.* "Think you'll live long enough to see a settled LMC? Maybe a nice big Sereya Eren statue on some colony? And a tinier Ankos Itri bust somewhere, hopefully..."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *walks in to the Lounge, looking to be in a really bad mood as she carries a PADD that she is focusing on, nearly ignoring her bumping in to people as she makes it to the bar" "Duble laphroaig"

[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She grinned at Li then and took him by the hand.*  "Let's see if there's an empty holodeck here on the Citadel, unless they've all been turned into that beach program..."

[9:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and follows Jill.*

[9:29] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *waves at Ilya figuring she looked as POed as normal*

[9:29] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at nadine* So do you think we should try to throw a pilgrim christmas party?

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bartender] *He poured Ilya her double, on the double.  He clearly didn't want to keep such a foul-mooded spoonhead waiting.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos looks at the bartender fussing, eyebrow raised. Why did that man seem so damn intimidated?*

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Stranger things have happened.  I actually do have a few statues up in the Alpha quadrant, Zacir got around..."

[9:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Nods to the bartender and grabs her class* "Appriciated" *her focus settles on Aria as she takes a large sip*

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She grinned.*  "We should!  Oh, we could put up a tree in the mess hall, and have a Secret Santa, and music, and... wait, maybe we should have it on the holodeck instead!  Make it snow!"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Well, that's just no fair. Most of us just have one lifetime to get themselves a nice statue."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shivers at the thought of snow*

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She lead him to the holosuites that had been set up thus far, peering carefully at the doors before finding one that opened for them.  She grinned and walked inside.*  "What setting should...

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aria, Have you seen Val?"

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: we use?  Desertscape like last time?  Or something cooler?"

[9:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Life isn't fair, Counselor," *she winked and dunked her Christmas tree sugar cookie in her cocktail.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria shakes her head* Not today no.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We should totally do that nadine it would be awesome.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Bloody hell"

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He mimics what she does, enjoying the taste.* "That it isn't... So, having fun on the leave?"

[9:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She looked at Ilya.*  "She's probably busy right now, you know, XOs don't really get breaks."

[9:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shrugs.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Been keeping myself amused.  Went on a Spacr date, but that was a bust.  Guy was much more charismatic through text."  *She rolled her eyes.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sighs and stares at the PADD again* "Briliant"

[9:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She smiled slightly, then went to input the parameters on the console.  After a few moments the world shifted and changed around them; the cold abyss of space stretched infinitely around...

[9:38] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "And that is why I gave up on Spacr ages ago. I think my last time actually going on a Spacr date was... what? Four years back? I think things went a little sideways when the girl tried to stab me."

[9:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: them as they came to realise they were standing upon a barren asteroid hurtling through space, a series of metallic targets lined up in the distance and the trapezoidal DR-1 placed on a table in...

[9:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: front of them.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You can hang out with us Ilya if you dont want to spend leave in your quarters doing nothing.

[9:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She raised her brows.*  "I guess you didn't sense how batshit insane she was, Counselor."

[9:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Woah.

[9:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "You can have my extra hot chocolate if you want," *she said, offering the mug to Ilya.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He nods.* "That was why I decided not to try and block my telepathy... Until coming on the Adagio, at least. Would suck to piss my crewmates off by constantly being in their heads."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I am fine with this" *She raises her glass*

[9:41] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She chuckled.*  "That got your attention?"

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and pats the couch next to her* Then sit down and people watch with us.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I have people peered one to many today"

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Well, I guess that counts as not being fair, either," *she teased.*  "You're still getting our emotions though, I take it?"

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *tilts her head at that*

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Uh..."  *She shrugged.*  "What would you want to do then, Lieutenant?"

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He nods.* "I think it's impossible not to. But I've managed to limit myself to only... stronger ones. More intense ones."

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah!

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Not every day you're standing on an asteroid.

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]  "ANKOS!!"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Persuade certain migners to buy the farm early"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Saying that, his eyebrows rise. When he hears a shout, a huge smile comes on his face, as he turns around to see a small betazoid woman.* "Aza!"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I didt know you were into agriculture.

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *The tiny betazoid woman blurred past, her hair a brilliant sapphire shade as she threw her arms around the Counselor.*  "It's been so long!!  How are you?!"

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "It means killing someone"

[9:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She grinned and headed over to the table, picking up the rifle and checking it over.*  "You want to do the honours?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Blinks* So who are you mad at today?

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Er.  Maybe let's not do that?  Pretty sure it's against the law."

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She eyed the tiny Betazoid bemusedly.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos grabbed a hold of her and hugged her as well, picking up the tiny woman a bit off her feet as he chuckled.* "So it has. But I'm doing pretty good. You?" *He sets her gentl back on the ground.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Hands the PADD to Aria, It shows a cardassian woman reading up the declaration of the coup on the planet* "Her"

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She beamed at him for a moment before she seemed to slump just slightly.*  "I've been better.  Our ship just got hit really hard, we lost a few people," *she said with a frown.*

[9:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure...if I remember...seems like it's been ages since we did this.

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She leaned over slightly to see, trying not to be -too- intrusive.*

[9:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She pointed to the panel on the rifle.*  "You select the particle reaction you want here... then you aim and fire.  I think I got most of the weight balance issues settled."

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She frowned at that.*  "Sympathies, kid.  That's never easy."

[9:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What particle are we using?

[9:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hmm so another flare up of old obsidion order types trying to take power romanticizing the old days?

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles supportively at Aza, but says nothing for some time, then when Eren speaks, he looks at her.* "Oh. Azacri, meet Eren, Eren meet Azacri. Azacri is a close friend from the academy and >

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yes, Blody idiots. Calling themselves the Pride of Cardassia. I knewn of them for a while but I never thought they be -that- bloody droped on their heads"

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Eren is. A friend from the Adagio."

[9:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Whichever one you want!  Though calendenium with hydrogen is fun.  You have to make sure you use that on the delayed reaction, though, or it'll blow up your face.  Or it would if we weren't...

[9:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: on a holodeck.'

[9:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Right.

[9:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well I can understand why that would upset you.

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Eren extended a hand to Azacri, who took the trill's hand and shook it enthusiastically.*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li selects calendenium with hydrogen, on a delayed reaction.*

[9:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "When I find her, I will kill her"

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] "It's very nice to meet you, Miss Eren!"

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Confidently walks in to the lounge, her normal demeanor showing as she moves over to the bar*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I'd try not to worry about it. We are far away I mean thats not even like Pily's patrol area.

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "You too, Azacri.  It's..."  *She glanced over at Zee then, a slight smirk on her lips as she glanced at the chronometer.*  "Is it that time already?"

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Unfortunately"

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *As Zee walks in, so does Valerie. She looks calm, but radiates a certain anger that makes Ankos twitch slightly. He moves away a bit, to give her space at the bar.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "No, Its ten minutes left, I thought I'd try to be early"

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Chardonnay. Bottle."

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Yeah... I mean, we're in the LMC.  Can't get much farther than that."  *She frowned.*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Looks at Eren, thinking she's talking to him, not hearing the other trill.* "That time?"

[9:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ready?

[9:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She grinned and nodded.*  "Whenever you are."

[10:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She smirked at Ankos, then looked back at Zee.*  "Oh?  Eagerness get the better of you, then?"

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bartender] *He went over to fetch Val her requested bottle.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Perhaps, Or just trying to be polite and show good behaviour" *She grins slyly*

[10:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li aims and fires.*

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She smiled at Zee.*  "Hello!  I haven't seen you in a little while!"

[10:02] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Merci." *She takes a large swig from the bottle, catching Ankos' look, who tries hard not to stare at the intimidating woman. She sneers at him.* "You got a problem?"

[10:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles sips her drink and glances around at all the unfamiliar people*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We should get christmas outfits.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Think they will buy it if I pull a qick one to visit my family during the christmas?"

[10:03] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I thought your family was on Earth?

[10:03] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Looks away from the french woman, intimidated, and looks to Aza, Zee and Eren.* "Friend of yours, Aza?"

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "...Then they'd definitely buy it, yeah."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "No. Apperently not, Nor have they been since they got fed up with the federation during my second year in the academy"

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Zat is what I thought." *She continues to glare at Ankos, eyes practically burnng holes in him, as he tries his best to ignore her.*

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The beam struck the target easily, producing an incredibly bright chemical explosion that seemed to engulf the entire target in fireworks for a brief moment before it was gone, leaving nothing but...

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: scorch marks.*

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  "...Woah."

[10:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Hello Az, Just been busy with the damage reports, and the burns where not to awes and so, How are you sweets?"

[10:06] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Me and the deltas 'ave been doing debris cleanups... actually found a corpse under a pile... Zat... was not pleasant."

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She frowned slightly at first, then forced herself to brighten up.*  "I've been okay!  It's been... hard with everything that's happened, but I think we're all going to be fine in the end."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Moves in closer to Aza and Zee, to pat the little betazoid's shoulder comfortingly.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Uh..."  *She didn't know what to say to that, so she turned to Aria then.*  "You mean get ugly Christmas sweaters and stuff..?"

[10:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Wow!

[10:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: DO you not talk much?

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Of corse sweets, All will be fine, It really hurts as it is"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Nah, Since they tried to kidnap me and the little 'coleteral damage' after losing their marbles, We do not speak at all"

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She downed the rest of her gingerbread cocktail and looked at the others.  She drew in a breath, then released it.*  "Well... I know something that'll help.  Shall we have a drink for...

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the fallen?"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oui... let's just try to enjoy ze holidays." *She nods at Eren and raises her bottle of wine.* "Way ahead of you."

[10:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She went to hug Li tightly again, grinning.*  "How freaking badass is that?!"

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Clears his throat, looking at the intimidating big woman comforting Aza.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Orders a mug of tea*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh. *Aria said quietly not sure how to respond to that*

[10:10] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah or elf costumes or something. *chuckles*

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Wouldn't the vulcans be offended if we dressed up as elves?" *she giggled.*

[10:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Raises her procured mug of tea*

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She shrugged and looked at the bartender.*  "Another gingerbread cocktail for me."

[10:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Pretty badass.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "And another for me."

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] "I like gingerbread!  I'll have one too!"

[10:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hmm only if we didnt acknowlegethem as as higher in the elf hierarchy. *chuckles*

[10:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Who cares if you miffed the Vulcans, they just seem to live to queer someones pitch and skive about with their logic"

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bartender] *He went to fix their drinks.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She blinked at Ankos.*  "I'm only having one?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "...Queer someone's pitch?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Just warning you. I know some people who get... interesting after a drink or two." *He looks towards Eren, a small smirk on his face.*

[10:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She gave him a quick kiss before going to step away again.*  "How's the recoil?  It's not too bad, is it?"

[10:14] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Val] *Raises her bottle of wine, following Zee's example, before taking another swig.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Thorw a leg in the wheel, spoil someones efforts"

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She eyed Ankos in turn before she reached for her drink as it was offered to her.*  "Some people are interesting drunk -or- sober, Counselor."

[10:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It wasn't too bad...I mean it's not like I'm a good shot.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *grins* "And how do you prefere me?"

[10:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She looked over at Alizee.*  "I think I'd want to keep your faculties intact... at first."

[10:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "I'm not denying that." *He then raises his eyebrow, hearing Alizee and leans sideways, preparing to enjoy the show.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *She smirks.* "A five, Alizee?"

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Right... anyway, have you seen anything cute in that vein?" *she grinned.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Please, I'm a 9.5 at least."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Her rating system works differently."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I havent really looked yet.

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Eeeh. I'd give you a 8.5. Sorry."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Ignores Val as she very well knows the rules, and had just broken it* "To the dead, then?"

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded at that.  "Probably just as good as I am with rifles.  I just build them for people who can."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos raises his cocktail, Valerie raises her wine once more.*

[10:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Exactly.

[10:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She glanced at Ankos as though he'd dishonoured her entire ancestry, then raised her glass to Zee.*  "To absent friends."

[10:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She raised her glass as well.*

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "You want to, then?"  *She set down her mug and pulled out a PADD to start researching holiday fashion.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sure. It has to be warm if we are going to have snow really warm.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos moves his glass forward to clink it with the others. To his surprise, the first other one who moves is Val, clinking his bottle with his glass, offering him a slight nod of ceasefire.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Orions are tropical afterall.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: ((Her bottle*))

[10:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Why do we want bloody snow?"

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Keep going, then?  I want to test one of the sustained beams, I need to see how long it can be maintained.  Last test showed 24.9 seconds, I want to get it to at least 45 before we make a...

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: prototype."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Raises her glass and takes a sip of tea*

[10:23] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: For a white christmas. Humans like that.

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Because it's the holiday season..?  Plus, it's a holodeck, isn't it?  We can just have visual snow and no cold if we want."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure, is there a good particle choice for a sustained beam?

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She then raised her glass to her lips and had a long sip of her own.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She took a much smaller one.*  "This is really sweet!"

[10:24] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos and Val both sip their drinks.* [Ankos] "I know, right? Try dipping the cookie inside."

[10:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You are worse then val sometimes"

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Yeah... here, this one's a pretty standard particle," *she said, leaning in to tap at the interface.*  "Just aim really carefully, a double beam is a lot harder to control."

[10:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I will.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Whats that supposed to mean? *chuckles*

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She grinned and gave him a quick kiss for good luck.*

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She nodded at Ankos' suggestion and dunked a boot-shaped sugar cookie into her cocktail.*

[10:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and initiates the beam.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She looked curiously at Ilya with that.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "So, which ships are you two from?" *She looks to Ankos and Eren.*

[10:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *This time the beam was much more intense than Li was anticipating, the force of it knocking him off his feet as the beam went wide and cut off a chunk of a target in the completely opposite...

[10:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: direction.*

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Obsession with meaningless things"

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "We're from the Adagio, you?"  *She took another drink, eyeballing the redheaded trill still.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  "Li!" *she exclaimed, rushing after him.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Its now ten hours and thirty minutes, And I have hiered a holodeck, just for us!"

[10:30] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You're just a grumo. *smirks and sticks out her tongue at Ilya momentarily*

[10:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li flies off, fortunate the holodeck safeties are in effect as he hits the asteroid.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Ze flagship? Me and... Azacri are from ze Gigantes." *Valerie looks quickly at Zee, as if trying to apologize for something.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Down to the second, huh?" *she teased.*  "Did you have a program in mind?"

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "I wouldn't call it meaningless.  It's the holidays, they're really important to a lot of people."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Would you not be, if that was your mothers christmas postcard?"

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh I thought the idea was you being in control" *she grins* "For you to pick, but there are quiet some funn providing assets"

[10:32] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well at least your christmas present wasnt divorce papers. *chuckles* Wait that was your Mom?

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She dropped to her knees next to him.*  "Li, are you okay?"

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "It was"

[10:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah...just sore...and embarrassed.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Seems from my observations if people like boom boom effects they loved it if they are into star wars and payed attention to the story and how stupid it was it came up short.

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Az] *She frowned very slightly at Ankos and took another little sip.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: mt

[10:35] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Raises his shoulders slightly apologetically at Aza.*

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She felt a smirk creeping on her lips.*  "It was... I was just being polite and letting you have the illusion of control before I snatched it away from you."

[10:36] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Smirks at that remark of Eren's, hiding his smirk behind his hand.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "You are tots to kind" *she bites her lower lip*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah that would be awkward.

[10:37] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Raises an eyebrow at the two, and looks at Aza and Ankos.* "Would you two like to get a table and give zem zheir... space?"

[10:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris lounges in his quarters in his much-too-big sleep shirt, drafting his proposal to the Captain and waiting for someone to show up.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Have you tried messaging her. Maybe having her daughter rant at her in your.. unique manner will set her straight.

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She sipped her hot chocolate awkwardly.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "A few hundred times over the years"

[10:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She shook her head, reaching to help him sit up.*  "No... it's probably my fault.  It should never have that kind of reaction..."

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "You say that now..." *she smiled wickedly at Alizee.*

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was a chime at Serris' door.*

[10:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris gets up and walks over, answering the door.*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sits up.* How could you have known?

[10:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *The tall Betazoid was leaning against the doorframe, a slight smirk appearing as he saw Serris in his sleep shirt.*  "Did I come at a bad time?"

[10:40] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Why I tots do" *Smirks at that and takes a sip of her tea*

[10:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I figured if we weren't going anywhere, I wasn't going to bother getting dressed up." *In Serris fashion, he clearly means this without any subtext whatsoever.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *His smirk behind his crown gets bigger, his hand still hiding it, but Azacri would probably feel his amusement.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She looked between Eren and Zee, then back at Val.*  "Umm, if you want to, but I think they're going to leave pretty soon..."

[10:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Well, I---"  *She paused then, catching his meaning and laughed at herself.*  "...You're right.  Testing's where this kind of thing shows up after all."

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Nods* "Alright... So, you two seem like you know each ozher?" *She looks between Ankos and Aza.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Duh. *He gives her a chuckle as he gets to his feet.*

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh you tots need not leave, we are soon gone"

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Who says we aren't going anywhere?  I bet you need to fill up on calories, after all, and I doubt you want them from your quarters' replicator."

[10:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I thought we were going to write that test proposal to the Captain."

[10:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He shrugs.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "I don't know why, something tells me you two will be gone for a good few hours too, so this is goodbye, I guess? Pleasure making your acquaintance, though." *He nods at Zee.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] "Mhm!  Ankos and I were in the same year at the Academy and took a lot of the same medical courses."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh I tots hope soo, Nice meeting you to"

[10:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "...Right."  *He studied Serris, then looked past him into his quarters.*  "Is the... gravity up in there?"

[10:46] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Something else also tells me you found just what you're looking for, congratulations." *He winks at Zee, before looking at Val.* "Oh, that was so fun. Though I guess she didn't approve much >

[10:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Speaking of family I still have to call mine Ive been putting it off...

[10:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "To tell them you ditched the luggage and burnt the weasel?"

[10:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Try again?

[10:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Oh, right. Computer, decrease grav plating output to system default." *The fabric resting on his shoulders seems to lift, and the leaves of the plants in the background practically shoot up.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess thats one way of putting it.

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Of all the pranks I pulled back in academy." *Valerie raises an eyebrow at him.* [Valerie] "A joker doctor? What did you do, carve your initials on people's lungs?"

[10:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Sorry... worried so much that I forgot," *she chuckled as well and got to her full height.*  "Yeah.  I'll stand behind you and make sure you don't fly off?  At least it's not a real asteroid."

[10:48] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure...yeah I think we'd already be dead without EVA suits.

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She looked at Zee then.*  "So... should we grab that holodeck before someone takes your reservation?" *she grinned.*

[10:48] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sorry, we've usually been in your room and the thought hadn't occurred to me."

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She looked at Aria with that.*  "You haven't told them still?"

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Tots should!"

[10:49] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Good thing it occurred to me..." *he chuckled as he made to step inside, gazing around to see how the blueberry had decorated.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I can tell them, if you like"

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She hooked her arm around Zee's waist then, starting to guide her out of the lounge.*  "So... what are your opinions on riding crops..?"

[10:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um no thanks.

[10:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His quarters were surprisingly vibrant for such a reclusive odd blueberry -- a multi-colored array of alien-looking fruit trees and plants line the walls and window sills.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Alright"

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She peered after Eren and then looked at Ankos.*  "She's very determined."

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos chuckles.* [Ankos] "That I can see. Admirable trait, that."

[10:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She positioned herself behind Li, sliding her arms around his waist again.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *smiles in delight, once mroe biting her lower lip before speaking* "I think they are tots awes!"

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "All us deltas are like zat. Even former ones."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a deep breath and fires the beam again.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "A delta? Az, I'm surprised you're friends with someone who shoots stuff for a living."

[10:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He blinked his black eyes in surprise as he stepped toward one of the trees.*  "What kind of fruit is this?  Is it from your homeworld?"

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Then maybe we should take a detour to my ship first so I can show you my selection..." *she kept grinning.*  "Among other implements..."

[10:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He nods.* "Some of the species we were able to salvage on the refugee convoys."

[10:53] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Oh, by the way, I willl be back in a second!" *Ankos rushes out towards the Adagio, remembering he wanted to show Aza something.*

[10:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That particular plant is the mirika tree." *He steps past Kol and plucks a red-violet, orange spotted fruit from it.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Oh?" *She smiles some at that* "Sounds tots awes too!"

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Urm... Is he always like zat?"

[10:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He holds it up in demonstration, grabbing a butter knife from the table and slicing the fruit evenly. It has the consistency of a whole grain bread with small seeds scattered throughout it.*

[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The shot went wide again, but it was much closer this time and he remained on his own two feet.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Why have you not told them?"

[10:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've found it's very good with peanut butter and jam from Earth."

[10:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Its awkward. I mean how do you tell your parents yeah that guy I married who I wanted to have babies with and we made promises about being together forever ran off to be with another woman less than

[10:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: a year latter.

[10:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The number of permits I had to get to move my garden around the galaxy was absolutely mind-numbing."

[10:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li mutters a curse as he misses.*

[10:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He nodded, watching Serris' demonstration and reaching to pick up a small section of the fruit.*  "I bet... the potential for contamination is pretty high.  Sure you have to make sure you...

[10:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: don't have any pollen or spores clinging to you every time you step out of this room."

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Then there's no time like the present..." *she smirked, watching Ankos fly by.*  "He's in a rush."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "As following: "Dear mother and father, A year ago I lost my marbles and acted like a numpty tosh. Now I have found out the penny dreadfull skive I

[10:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Wait, wait, wait." *He holds Kol's hand in place, reaching his short arms as far as he can on his tippy-toes to grab a jar of grape jam from across the table.*

[10:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes that butter knife and snatches the fruit slice from Kol's hand, spreading it evenly before handing it back.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "It's not like that's your fault though.  And I'm sure all they want is to support you through this."

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She gave him a little squeeze.*  "It's okay, practise makes perfect, right?"

[11:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Right.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Rushes past the two again a bit later, a tiny baby snake in what appears to be a... small ugly christmas sweater, custom-made for it tangled itself in his fingers.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > for some godforsaken reason  married after taking a conk is a rotten no good six and sevens minger, and a cheater. I have now droped the luggage and burn the weasel. Love, Aria"

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "He certainly is... Are we not?"

[11:01] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He probably wouldn't have been able to move his arm if he wanted to due to the blueberry's grip, grinning widely at the gesture as he took the fruit slice.*  "Far be it from me to...

[11:02] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: not take that advice," *he said, taking a bite.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "It's called a build up, if I just threw you on the ground now it would be fun but not nearly as satisfying."

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Shivers some in suspense* "As you say"

[11:03] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: They would probably think I had a stroke or have to use a universal translator to understand that.

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]  *Her eyes widened at the sight of the snake in the sweater.*  "Oh my deities!!  She's so cute!!" *she squealed, rushing over to meet the snek.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Smiles and follows the little betazoid.*

[11:04] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *His eyes closed as he gave a groan the little blueberry was probably quite familiar with at that point.*  "That's amazing..."

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I can present it in greased up no class decadent american to, If such would be more to your pleasing"

[11:05] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now you know why I don't really get out much outside of steak and cheese day in the Mess Hall."

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Christina] *The little snake raises her head curiously, watching the betazoid rushing for her. Ankos calms her down by gently petting under her chin with a finger.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "You like her, Az?"

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Or... maybe just call them and have a conversation about it?" *she cringed slightly and shrugged.*

[11:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Try again?

[11:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "If you're ready.  If you get tired of it we can always do something else, though."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Probably works as well"

[11:07] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He nodded.*  "Hell, if I had fresh fruit growing in my quarters I probably wouldn't, either."  *He paused.*  "Ever thought of giving some to the chef?"

[11:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You mean american style versus shrill fish mongers wife... *grins at Ilya*

[11:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head. * I know you're passionate about this.

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She reached out tentatively to rub her under the chin as well.*  "She's adorable!"  *There was a pause as she eyed her pattern, however.*

[11:08] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He'd ruin it." *He says blankly.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Christina] *The snake seems happy, raising her chin a bit more so her new friend can stroke her some more.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "There is no style with american language. its quiet frankly the definition of a language without style"

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "...At least it's not a 'minger's' wife?" *she offered.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Looks to Ankos* "Does she bite?" *After Ankos shakes his head dismissively, Valerie gently starts petting the top of the small thing's head.*

[11:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded.*  "I am, but... we're on break, and if you'd rather do something more fun I really don't mind."

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "No, The minger has been divorced of his wife"

[11:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "So where are we going?"

[11:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "How do you know?"

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "I told you, to the Adagio," *she grinned as they reached the transporter pad.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] "Um... Ankos?"

[11:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "Fancy, never been on that one"

[11:11] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do Klingons trust humans to make gagh?" *He arches a brow.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Oh, you'll love it.  Trust me."  *She turned to the operator.*  "Two to the Adagio."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Yes?" *He chuckles slightly as Valerie lets out a small squee at the snake closing her eyes happily.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and shakes her head at Ilya*

[11:13] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I don't think so, but apparently humans trust Klingons to make cake now."  *He eyed the fruit that was still on the table.*  "Still, if you don't want to give any away I can understand that."

[11:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Takes a sip of her whiskey, flashing a grin to Aria*

[11:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm okay with it if you are.

[11:13] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Go ahead and take the rest, I've already had six."

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] "Um... you know what kind of snake she is... right?"

[11:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Waits to be transporter with a playfull smile on her lips*

[11:14] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So your little insignificant strange talking island still holds a grudge over one of its colonies being the most significant thing it ever did?

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Energise."  *The two trills vanished with part of their special effects budget.*

[11:14] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *...And reappeared on the Adagio.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Retracts her hand in a panic.* "Is it poisonous?!"

[11:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  *She nodded.*  "Okay... one more sustained beam then.  Let's see if we can get past 29.5 seconds."

[11:15] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Looks around at the transproter room* "Awes stuffs"

[11:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "No, she's noot. Don't worry about it. And I know what kind of snake she is, Az."

[11:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He grinned at Serris and picked it up before reaching for the knife in the jam, smearing a bit more on top.*  "Pity we can't visit your homeworld, if these are the kinds of things it...

[11:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: produces..."

[11:16] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and walks back over to pick up the device.*

[11:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She slid her arm around Zee's waist again as she guided her through the doors and into the wide hallway, walking with an unmistakable swagger toward her quarters.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Nah. I dont think there is a gudge. Should be bloody proud of good thing you done, and ashamed of the bad ones. The problem with the so called colonies is that they are bloody good at thinking they >

[11:17] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Gamma Quadrant's a bit far from the Large Magellanic Cloud, but if we get this proposal drafted and approved, maybe we'll be able to go."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > are good at more then they admitely are good at, while holding no shame to ever admit when they really botched the soup. Such as their language. Aside from the eugenics war... and those other earth>

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Azacri... what is zis snake?" *She sounds wary and suspicious now.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > wars, it may very well be the msot disgusting bloody atrocity to come of earth"

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She watched Ankos for a moment and nodded.*  "Okay!  I just hope you have a big enough enclosure, I've never heard of a snake that grows that big being on a starship before."

[11:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ready.

[11:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She reset the targets so that Li could get a proper shot, then positioned herself behind him again.*  "Me, too."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You know you keep talking and all I hear is fight and chips govenor over and over. *Smirks playfully at her*

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "I had ordered a much, much smaller breed, but... they got the order wrong and imported the wrong kind of snake... I just couldn't leave this poor baby to suffer in the pet shop forever >

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Could I?"

[11:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a deep breath and fires up the beam.*

[11:19] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *satisfied lets herself to me leed wherever Eren is taking them, smiling to herself as she with elegant steps keeps phase*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Should have your ears checked"

[11:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Right... the proposal.  I suppose we should get started on that."  *He went to take a seat, chomping on his breadfruit'n'jam.*

[11:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Of course, you'd have to get fitted for anti-graviton braces, too."

[11:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I imagine 5.6G isn't exactly great for Betazoids."

[11:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris grabs his PADD from the couch, then sits next to Kol at the table.*

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She shook her head.*  "No, still, it's... well, be careful is all.  And let me know if anything happens to her, you know I have veterinary medicine certification!"

[11:22] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Wow that time you actually spoke words I understood. Amazing.

[11:23] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles and nods.* "Of course. And I'm working as hard as I can. Hopefully, when I get to Lieutenant JG, I can get a bigger room..." *He then looks at Valerie.* "It's a burmese python. don't >

[11:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I am not above goign down to the level of the little people" *Grins*

[11:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Li's shot went wide again.  Somewhere, someone was playing a sad trombone.*

[11:23] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Worry, she won't do anything to you. As long as she's fed."

[11:24] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Shivers at that, but moves in to play with the cute animal again.* "You 'ave an... interesting taste in pets." *She looks at Aza.* "Has he seen Leia?"

[11:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Yeah, I kind of need my spine as it is, not compressed into a little disc," *he smirked and crossed his legs, leaning an arm behind his chair.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh the first cardassian member of the british aristocracy now? Sounds like someone is trying some traditional orion spices with mind altering substances. *giggles*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li facepalms.*

[11:25] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Can you hook me up on some of that? Heared its the good stuffs"

[11:25] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You've held up remarkably well, all things considered."

[11:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She stepped right through her doors without a care, her room looking much the same as it always did.*  "Wait here," *she smiled wickedly as she disappeared into her bedroom.*

[11:26] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "I suppose I can do" *She grins and looks around a little*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Of course dont you know we are all prostitutes, smugglers or both? *rolls her eyes*

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She smiled.*  "I sent pictures!  But I just ran into him,he hasn't had a chance to see her yet!"

[11:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She sucked in a breath.*  "Maybe... we should make the target bigger?"

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Hell, I wouldn't mind some of those..."

[11:27] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Nah, I meet soem bloody decent ones, who maybe married a prostitute and had her common sense smuggeled out the system... But Guess the telegraph did not reach the empire"

[11:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Nah, I meet soem bloody decent ones, who maybe married a prostitute and had her common sense smuggeled out the system... But Guess the telegraph did not reach the empire"

[11:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Go for it.

[11:28] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "I think I missed out on a lot, she looks absolutely aorable..." *He looks towards a table* "Let's go sit down, yeah?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Nods and heads to the table.*

[11:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I dated a Klingon woman... briefly.  It's a different form of intensity, but it... certainly got me ready for meeting you."

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She emerged after a moment, carrying the metallic box that usually rested under her bed.  She headed over to the table to set it down, inputting a series of digits into the lock and swinging..

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: it open.*  "Never get a chance to use these things... it usually scares most people off.  But I have a feeling..."

[11:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... You almost make it sound like meeting me was your cosmic destiny or something." *His face turns about eighty-seven hues of violet.*

[11:30] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Walks over, genuinely intriouged as she tries to peer in to the box*

[11:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Azacri] *She headed after the two, climbing into the chair and swinging her legs in the air.*

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Computer... widen the targets by three meters each."  *The targets immediately shifted to her specified parameters; they would be much harder to miss now.*

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Christina] *Remains tangled up in Ankos' hands as he gently continues stroking her.*

[11:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li runs a hand over his face and fires again on the target.*

[11:33] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Have you guys gotten christmas presents yet? I am so stumped about what to get my friends, I haven't known them nearly long enough..."

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "See anything you like?"

[11:34] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *She shakes her head.* "Same 'ere... I've only gotten two presents so far."

[11:34] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Bites her lip and shivers slightly, noding meekly before speaking* "Tots"

[11:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I mean... it almost seems like it, considering that you're somehow the one person I've ever met who could activate this 'redundant receptor cluster' of mine."

[11:36] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles* I have hazy memories of someone making fun of me when I tried to express some of my Orion culture.

[11:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm also the only H'Tarran you've ever met. I think that might have more to do with it."

[11:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Everyone has a numpty moment, Some are just more bloody stupid then others in those times"

[11:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The beam hit, but Li was unable to keep it steady for long before he was knocked back into Jill, who was promptly thrown onto her back behind them as well.*  "Ack!"

[11:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I did say almost," *he shrugged.*  "Besides, your kind are still so rare in our parts of space that it may as well be a destiny thing."

[11:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li falls on top of her, letting out quite a few more expletives.*

[11:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "As far as I know, there are only a handful of us in Starfleet."

[11:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She watched the other trill for a moment before she stepped closer.  Though fairly shorter than the redhead, that didn't seem to stop her as she leaned in close.*  "So do I."

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She shrugged.*  "I think I heard once that everyone's permitted to make a certain amount of really stupid mistakes in their lives."

[11:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yupp... A certain ammount"

[11:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She gave a little curse as well, sighing.*  "I think I need to redesign a little more..."

[11:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's probably just me.

[11:43] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Looks down on Eren and softly licks her own lips while observing her hostess next move* "Tots a shame you do not get to use them often"

[11:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "And here I am, assigned to a starship with one of the cuter ones," *he said nonchalantly as he spread more jelly on his fruit.*

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Cuter implies a basis for comparison."

[11:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Does it?  Or maybe I'm just very knowledgeable on who's cute."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In that case, it sounds like I'm still not quite in the top ten percent."

[11:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So um do you think they will ever add more restaurants and stuff here?

[11:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris arches a brow, fixing his grammar.*

[11:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She sighed.*  "I doubt it..."

[11:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Probably"

[11:46] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Doesn't mean I'm out of practise, though..."  *Without warning the shorter trill suddenly pushed her hands into the redhead's shoulders, trying to toss her back onto the couch behind her.*

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Well, they've gotta, right?  There's loads of people coming here now... I heard that they're even working on getting civilian traffic here, just have to work out some kinks with the gate."

[11:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: My clumsiness is pretty legendary.

[11:47] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Falls to the couch if some actual force was applied in the push, grining wide as she now have to look up at the other Trill*

[11:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: That would be cool.

[11:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He shook his head.*  "That's not what I meant, Serris.  Let me try that again."  *He looked at him flatly.*  "You're cute."

[11:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Please no, LEt this bee a bloody civvi free zone. Why are some people so hell bent on scorching paradise"

[11:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He quickly silences the Betazoid with a kiss on the lips, then nonchalantly resumes his proofreading as if nothing happened.*

[11:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "You're really not as bad as everyone says you are.  Besides, you're firing a rifle, not climbing out of a jefferies tube."

[11:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: True...but you'd think that would be harder.

[11:51] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Eren gave her a grin of her own as she turned to her box for her first implement, the camera panning away from the decidedly not TV friendly scene about to play.*

[11:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He blinked in surprise at the brief kiss before that stupid grin of his appeared again and he leaned back to watch him.*  "So... what have you got so far?"

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "What's wrong with that?  I think it'd be great if we had some more stuff around here."

[11:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He hands the PADD over.* "Let me know whether or not this is too verbose."

[11:53] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Smiles as she sees whatever is being pulled up from the box of camera as its panns out*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Have you seen a civi?"

[11:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She chuckled.*  "I mean more like they're two really different things.  Besides, you didn't drop the gun."

[11:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You are far too negative Ilya you used to be a civilian.

[11:56] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He picked up the PADD, peering at it for a moment.*

[11:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Why do you think I despise them? Its not out of never having meet one and only heared their blood yreputation"

[11:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and shalkes her head*

[11:58] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He sucked in a breath.*  "Well... the last part is good.  But I don't think anyone outside of you or I could possibly comprehend the first part.  Maybe try simplifying it a little?"

[11:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I thought it was pretty self-explanatory." *He blinks.*

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Not everyone can be in Starfleet, or wants to be."

[11:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I guess.

[12:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "No, and starfleet is full of six and sevens along with bloody idiots to, they even have their own division"

[12:00] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "You're approaching it as someone who's spent years working on this.  You need to try and see it from the perspective of someone who's put no time into it at all.  Do you mind?"

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "..And which division's that?" *she asked, raising her brows.*

[12:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Starfleet intelligence" *Said with even when she tries to hide her hatered for it, she fails"

[12:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She gave him another tight hug, smiling.*  "Come on... we can do more of this later.  Maybe some food'll help you focus better."

[12:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: And here I thought you were going to say helm. *smirks*

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "At least she didn't say security," *she laughed.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "...Though a stupid intelligence division sounds... counterintuitive."

[12:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Funny, As much as I could said science, they atleast do something that is remotely useful and has a combat use"

[12:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "They are not stupid, they are an abomination to the federation. A cancer to something otherwise worthwhile. Something that from within undermines all we does"

[12:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, that's why you're here, I guess."

[12:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He nodded, starting to tap rapidly at the screen as he moved Serris' words around and changed a few to make it more comprehensible.*  "My one function to this project, making other people...

[12:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: understand it like you do," he chuckled.

[12:06] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe then, someone will finally take me seriously."

[12:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She frowned at that and looked between the two women.* "Do you run afoul of Intelligence a lot?"

[12:06] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His tone and drooping ears seem to suggest that this is a sore spot for him.*

[12:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I can't think of any times actually.

[12:08] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "To often"

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *His black eyes flickered up from the PADD, pausing momentarily.*  "Serris," *he said in a firm tone,* "The fact that your theory's been ignored thus far isn't a reflection on you.  It's a...

[12:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Alright...you're hungry I assume. *He smirks.*

[12:09] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: prime example of people fearing the extraordinary, fearing the progress we may be able to make if we look outside of conventions, fearing having to open their minds to a possibility they never gave...

[12:09] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: second thought to."

[12:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Maybe a little," *she smirked back.*

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She tilted her head at Ilya.*

[12:11] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Do you think they'll let me try to move a supermassive black hole?" *His ears perk up slightly.*

[12:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Lets not ruing th ebloody holidays futher, my mother done a briliant job enough as is"

[12:12] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Let's not get ahead of ourselves," *he laughed.*  "Let's just start with the Pilgrim."

[12:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "...Yeah, agreed," *she said then, looking at Aria.*  "So... holiday party?"

[12:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Okay." *He still seems cheered up, despite the deflection.*

[12:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He shot the blueberry a grin, returning his gaze to the PADD.*  "Are you sure that's how you spell 'gravimetric?'  I could have sworn it had an O..."

[12:17] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yes, that's how you spell gravimetric."

[12:17] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He squinted at it for a long moment.*  "...I'll trust your judgement on that, then."

[12:17] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Definitly. Ill have to come up with a outfit just for it.

[12:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over to the bar area to order some food.*

[12:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  *She headed over along with Li, glancing briefly at Aria, Ettore and Ilya in the corner before forcing herself to look forward.*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "This is going to go all girly bloody pony express really quickly, eh?"

[12:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Girly pony express?"

[12:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *After what seemed like ages he passed the PADD back over to Serris.*  "Here, check it."

[12:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris fans himself and takes a drink of water from a cup on the table, his skin starting to glisten slightly.*

[12:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He paused, looking at Serris curiously.*  "Are you okay?"

[12:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Shopping, gossip, planing parties, sharing eachothers favorite lipgloss for the fun of it, Pillow fighting and giggle chorus galore?"

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "I don't think that's what the Pony Express was."

[12:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes the PADD back and reads it over.* "I'm fine, I'm just getting close to my cycle. I'll need to head to sickbay sometime in the next day or two."

[12:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Whatever, Now you know hwat I meant"

[12:22] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris makes a few basic grammar corrections.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grabs his food and quietly leaves.*

[12:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She looked at Li with a slight frown before she grabbed her own and hurried after him.*

[12:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *As they walked onto the promenade.*  "Sorry.. we should've gotten it from the ship or something..."

[12:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's alright.

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: The pony express was a mail delivery service.

[12:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Point taken! Get on with the answer"

[12:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He nodded, watching Serris with mild concern.*  "Are you sure we shouldn't go now?"

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Plus you know you love girl nights Ilya dont act like you dont.

[12:24] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's just a hot flash."

[12:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "No... it's not.  I just... I hate seeing you uncomfortable."

[12:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well it's my fault and something I'm gonna have to live with and get used to.

[12:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Well... you guys can't have my lip gloss, it's my secret shade," *she cracked a smirk.*

[12:26] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "We can turn the temperature down?"

[12:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Don't insult your intelligence Aria, Marrying the minger was enough insult for a decade, and you are otherwise a decently sane being"

[12:26] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm barely wearing clothes. It's just me, not the room. I'll be fine."

[12:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a seat in the more secluded room.*

[12:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She winced a little, not sure how to respond as they found a spot.*  "Have you... talked to her at all?  Since, you know."

[12:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well we all have to be a pily family so its something we have to get over.

[12:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Only a very little.

[12:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Family" *Scoffs*

[12:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He cracked a smirk and nodded again.*  "If everything so far was you off your cycle, though, I'm almost scared to see how it would be if you didn't get your treatments."

[12:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Like I said, people with my condition are essentially 'always on' compared to other people. It's when we enter our cycle that things go into overdrive."

[12:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She frowned.*  "Family's very important... even if they drive us insane or do shitty things.  You shouldn't just discount them altogether."

[12:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Your bloody right! I should reconcile with my terrorist parents who tried to kidnap me for joining starfleet and shot my best friend, What a bloody briliant idea!"

[12:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded, rubbing her cheek with her hand before she said,* "Maybe..."  *She winced and shook her head.*  "Never mind, stupid idea."

[12:31] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: If you discount them you wont make as much when you sell them at market... Sorry bad joke.

[12:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Arches an eyeridge, not a happy camper*

[12:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Well, let's hope the doctor read your files thoroughly so you don't have another incident while you're in overdrive."

[12:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *Though there was still that faint smirk...*

[12:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What?

[12:33] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue now."

[12:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She frowned.*  "I didn't say reconcile, I said don't write them off.  You never know what the future holds.  Maybe they'll come to their senses."

[12:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I'd prefere to just kill them. Two shots. Pew pew. Bloody quick and get it done wiht, good rideance"

[12:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  "Just..."  *She sighed again.*  "Maybe we... all need to sit down.  If we're going to be working together we have to be able to -talk- to one another despite... the incredibly fucked up...

[12:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: thing we did to her."

[12:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think some time would be best.

[12:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "What do you mean?  Are you, like, getting more used to it as you get older?"

[12:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "I didn't say now.  Or even soon.  But it's going to have to happen eventually whether we plan it or not."

[12:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[12:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, I just have someone to focus those urges on now."

[12:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She didn't speak for a moment, looking down at her mug.*  "I think I'm going to go to bed.  Sorry.  I'm not really feeling it any more..."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sighs* "Nah,You stay... Ill retire and keep searching for Valkriss. Good night"

[12:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He laughed at that.*  "You're going to leave me with a permanent limp, I'm sure of it."

[12:39] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Night Ilya.

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She nodded faintly.*  "Night..."

[12:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Assuming I don't take my recommended dose, that is."

[12:40] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *leaves the lounge and returns to her and vals quarters*

[12:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She brushed her loose hair behind her ears, looking up at Li.*

[12:41] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Poor Ilya.

[12:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Well... maybe we do need to start taking the doctor's orders seriously..." *he mused.*

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She kept her gaze on her mug.*  "I couldn't imagine having that kind of hate for my own parents."

[12:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I mean, do you want me to be a total nymphomaniac for a few days?"

[12:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She nonchalantly wiped her brow as she leaned against the wall near the replicator.*  "Water, chilled," *she grinned.*

[12:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li leans over to gently tangle her hair between two fingers.*

[12:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "There's also the present, albeit astronomically low chance of pregnancy."

[12:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I can. The problem is shes kind of negative and wont let any of it go. I just hope Val can help her from letting it mess her up.

[12:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He looked at Serris with that.*  "I thought you said our species were incompatible?"

[12:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I said the vast majority of species are incompatible, generally due to being sexually dimorphic. I don't know for certain whether Betazoids are on the list or not."

[12:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She smiled softly at Li, leaning in to let him play with her hair.*  "I like this part of the station.  No one shooting us nasty looks."

[12:47] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Lays on the couch, breathing heavily and shaking some as she remains crawled up in fetal position, her eyes opened but she is not looking at anything in particular.*

[12:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Maybe she should see one of the ship's counselors."

[12:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* It's why I led you over here.

[12:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: She is way too stubborn for that.

[12:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Well seeing as we have a sexual dichotomy, I'd imagine not.  Unless there's a telepathic component, anyway."

[12:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: When I first met her she didnt even believe in friends I mean shes making progress just um at her own pace.

[12:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nodded.*  "Probably won't be empty for long though, with all the increased traffic we've been promised."

[12:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That's the part I'm not sure about, hence 'astronomically low, but still present'."

[12:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Promised?

[12:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "I can understand that.  Hell, I've been there before, maybe not with the stubborn aspect but... other stuff.  Good friends definitely help."  *She shrugged at Aria.*

[12:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He didn't speak for a moment.*  "Maybe..."  *He cringed.*  "We should try to actually abstain until we get a real answer on that one, then.  Especially with you so close."

[12:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "Uh... I mean, I don't know that it was actually promised.  Weird word choice I guess."

[12:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ah.

[12:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Let's try and focus on this so I don't get distracted then."

[12:54] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She took a sip of her water before stepping back over to lean against the back of the couch, studying the other trill with a smirk.*

[12:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods*

[12:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Right."  *He drew in a breath.*  "So what else do we need?"

[12:56] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *fixes her clear silvery blue eyes at Eren, Still shaking and heavy breathing, trying to make sense of it all while her brain lacking most levels of rationality after what she been trough*

[12:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Though I'm starting to imagine her and Teir at the Christmas party in ugly sweaters and antlers, looking grump as can be," *she snickered.*

[12:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe we should start the experiment on a smaller scale than the ship."

[12:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "A shuttlecraft?"

[12:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Maybe they can trade insults though if I remember correctly thats like joking and flirting for cardasssians.

[12:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not a workhorse shuttle, those don't have big enough induction relays to handle the energy intake. We'd need a Danube, a Yellowstone, or a Delta."

[12:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't want to risk the new Captain's Yacht either. We just got that replaced."

[12:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *Her smirk turned into a much wider grin before she leaned over to set the glass down on the table.  Without another word, she stepped around to start packing up her box again.*  "It's been a..

[1:00] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: while since I got a reaction like -that.-"

[1:01] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *keeps looing at Eren, not wanting it to end and be left to the cold that she knows will be inside as things go down* "More?"

[1:01] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *yawns* Well I should go check on my baby make sure nothings exploded in my abscence then cal it a night. Its been a pleasure as always Nadine.

[1:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] *She laughed then.*  "That'd be a sight.  I think it's the same for Teir," *she grinned, then nodded.*  "I'll see you for planning the Christmas party, then?"

[1:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Nods*

[1:03] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Night. *gets up and heads out*

[1:03] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Sure we could our hands on one of those, provided I promise to fix it after we're done should anything happen..."

[1:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Night!" *she waved after the Orion.*

[1:03] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren]  *She quirked a brow, halfway done with packing.*  "More?  You look like you're about to go into convulsions as it is," *she smirked.*

[1:04] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "No, Please?"

[1:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She leaned against Li, closing her eyes and giving a soft sigh.*

[1:05] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Insurance guarantee?"

[1:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li ruffles her hair.*

[1:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She looked down at the implement in her hands, a chuckle escaping her before she prowled back over to the couch.*  "Well... I do have a rule that says everyone only gets one day with me..."

[1:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "We may as well make it count, hm?"

[1:07] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Nods i deep joy, relief in anticipation* "Thank you"

[1:07] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Exactly.  Besides, no one wants to be the one cleaning up the party."

[1:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She nuzzled him affectionately.*  "Enjoy your food?"

[1:08] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Speaking of which, I... hope I didn't cause any damage to your mattress."

[1:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yup, you?

[1:10] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Oh, don't thank me yet..."  *The trill grinned slyly as the scene faded out one more time...*

[1:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Well, there's one good thing about being on a starship... there's an industrial replicator for any time you destroy your furniture."

[1:12] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "It was alright, I might've been a little distracted by the company, though."

[1:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Does that mean I did?" *He looks very guilty.*

[1:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "If it's any consolation, everyone who helped me get it replicated and moved was -very- amused."

[1:16] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Oh?

[1:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... You mean other people saw that?"

[1:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "I think it's been well documented how you distract me, Li," *she said, a faint pink glow coming to her cheeks.*

[1:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "It's not like I could do it myself... I didn't tell them it was you, though.  I know you'd be... embarassed."

[1:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "How bad was it?"

[1:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks down shyly.*

[1:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "...Well, Laige asked me if I was trying to build a tide pool in the centre of my bed..."

[1:22] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *The blueberry becomes a plum.*

[1:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She smiled at him again, leaning over for a quick kiss to his cheek.*

[1:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He reached over to slide a hand onto the plum's forearm.*  "It's fine, you know...."  *He smirked.*  "I got water resistant sheets."

[1:27] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I thought you were trying to abstain, not invite me over."

[1:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Who said anything about that?  Maybe I'm enticing you for after your cycle ends."

[1:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "They call it antici...."  *There was a pause.*  "...pation."

[1:29] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know I'm not a very patient person."

[1:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Neither am I," *he shrugged.*  "In case you haven't noticed.  But... there -are- some lines I'm not necessarily willing to cross."

[1:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I guess that means I should head down to sickbay then."

[1:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Want me to walk you there?"

[1:31] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'd ask if you wanted to try carrying me for a change, but I'm heavier than I look."

[1:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I know how heavy you are, Serris..."

[1:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles as she does so.*

[1:33] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris gets up, looking back at Kol with a hand on his hip.* "Gee, I wonder why."

[1:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] "So, do you want to, um..."  *She smiled bashfully.*  "Head back to your quarters..?"

[1:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He gave him an innocent look as he got up as well.*  "Couldn't have anything to do with my crushed hip..."

[1:34] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Fractured, not crushed."

[1:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Fractured by crushing..."

[1:35] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not that you seemed to mind at the time."

[1:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "I was going off adrenaline, I didn't even feel it right away," *he chuckled.*

[1:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...sure.

[1:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I had no idea I gave you so much exhiliration."

[1:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *Still smiling, she got up out of her chair and offered Li her hand.*

[1:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris hooks arms with Kol and walks out of his room, either forgetting to put on pants or figuring the admittedly long shirt draped over him was long enough to pass as modest.*

[1:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes it.*

[1:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *He smirked.*  "Serris?"

[1:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yes?"

[1:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill] *She grinned then, and lead him off to the transporter pad.*

[1:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows and steps onto the pad when they arrive.*

[1:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I mean... I love seeing your legs, but maybe the rest of the crew won't have the same sentiment."  *He teased.*

[1:41] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The two were whisked back to the ship.*

[1:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's almost down to my knees. Besides, I'm close enough to being a woman that I can probably pass this off as a dress without committing a social faux pas."

[1:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Besides, have you seen some of the uniforms Starfleet has had over the years? Those skirts were much less modest."

[1:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "You know that both sexes wear dresses, right?  We don't care about that sort of thing in the Federation," *he shrugged.*  "But I'm not complaining.  It was more of a... 'I thought you didn't...

[1:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: realise what you were wearing' thing."

[1:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I didn't, but I'm quickly approaching the point of not wanting to wear clothes at all, so I think we should get a move on."

[1:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "...Good idea, then."  *He prepared himself for the inevitable dragging.*

[1:47] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He's at least a little more careful about said dragging.*

[1:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] *His arm didn't get dislocated; it was a good dragging indeed.*

[1:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *An undetermined amount of time later, Eren finally got around to finishing off her glass of water.*  "...Maker," *she muttered, wiping off her brow.*

[1:58] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Finds herself in a fetal position once more, breathing heavily as she tries to puzzle together the world in ehr shattered mind that tries to come out from subspace, where it really just >

[1:58] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > wishes to remain for eternalty*

[2:00] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She glanced down, her chest still rising and falling rapidly as she tucked her dampened hair behind her ears.*  "You okay there, kid?" *she panted after a moment.*

[2:00] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] "I... I don't know"

[2:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She took in another breath and set the glass down, crouching by the couch.  She reached out to the redhead, taking her chin between her fingers firmly to tilt her head up so she could study...

[2:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: her.*

[2:04] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *disoriented looks at the blonde Trill, the only thing currently making any resembelense of sense in her world at the time. hoping there is something more, terified of the emptyness that >

[2:05] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > would fill her as she was forced to leave the little slice of paradise Eren had brought her in to, the notion terifying her, yet she knew she had to. it made her sad*

[2:08] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *Sereya pursed her lips ever so slightly as she met Zee's gaze with her own emerald eyes, drawing her thumb slowly across her jaw.  A soft smile made its way to her lips then.*  "You want...

[2:08] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: some water?"

[2:10] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Nods softly, keeping her eyes on Eren as she knows that where her own unrational mind could not make sense of anything, the blonde had all the answers that mattered*

[2:11] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She maintained eye contact for another moment; someone with more sense left to them might have even seen the pleased glint in her eyes before she got up to the replicator.*  "Two glasses of...

[2:11] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: water... chilled," *she ordered, picking them up and stepping back over to the couch.  She held one to Zee.*  "Drink," *she ordered.*

[2:14] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Takes the glass with a shaky hands, her body still not fully agreeing with her mind but still enough to not spill to much. hearing the clear order, that made sense and seemed so clear, she >

[2:15] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > obays, bringing it to her lips and drinking, spilling some on her chin but getting the whole glass down and meekly holding out the empty glass to Eren*

[2:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] "Good girl," *she said approvingly, taking the glass and setting it down on the table.  She took a sip of her own before she set it down, easing onto the couch next to Zee.*  "How are you...

[2:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: feeling?"  *Dear god, was that -concern- in her voice?*

[2:19] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Shivers slightly at the other Trilsl word, watching her constantly as her breathing is calming down to be almost regular deep breaths without the chipping that was before* >

[2:19] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > "I am scared and... and it is cold?" *HEr answer sounds like a question in itself, she thinks she is scared and cold... but is she? The blone probably knows better"

[2:20] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *

[2:21] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren]  *Her brow furrowed with that, and she leaned over Zee, propping herself up with a hand behind the other Trill's back as she reached to brush her hair from her face.*  "You're scared?" *she...

[2:21] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: asked softly.*  "Why is that?"

[2:23] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *feels a little calmer as some of her curly red hair is brushed away* "I do not know? It ends, and the void hurts"

[2:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She didn't answer right away, still studying her before she finally nodded.*  "That it does.  And trust me, it never goes away.  Not completely."

[2:26] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Meekly tries to hug herself to Eren, not out of any real deep love, rather the affection built up during the session lingering, the desperate need to feel safe and to leech of the blondes >

[2:27] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > warmth and feeling of confidence*

[2:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She didn't return it right away, but after a beat or two she slid her arms around the redhead, letting herself lay down on the couch next to her.  Her fingers gently caressed the marks that...

[2:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: she'd left on Zee's back, almost admiring her handiwork as she met her gaze.*  "You should stay here a little while longer, at least until you're okay enough to go back to your ship."

[2:31] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Nods to Erens words, If she said so, it was the smart thing to do, it mde sense, it was comforting and calm. Emotions building up on her as she slowly landing from the amazing journey Eren >

[2:37] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She gave a soft sigh as she watched Zee drift off.*  "Submissives..." *she murmured to herself bemusedly, carefully extracting herself from Zee's arms.*

[2:39] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: [Alizee] *Tries to hold on but its not very strong in her current state, and easily tricked to hug something else, she shivers some in her sleep but otherwise seems to rest well*

[2:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Eren] *She let Zee have one of her throw pillows to embrace, then looked around at the aftermath in her living room.  Hopefully Skye wasn't about to come knocking that evening.  She took another...

[2:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: drink of her water, pushed her hair behind her ears, and got to cleaning up.*
