Adagio 10/31

[10:06][DOIC]Sereya Eren@liorexu:** Halloween!  Once again the public holodeck has been transformed into a spooky castle, with the main hall decked out in spiderwebs, fake bats, and pumpkins galore. Oh, and booze. *

[10:06][DOIC]Sereya Eren@liorexu:** Go! *

[10:09][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Candy Witch made a pass, sprinkling little chocolate candies in her wake as she cackled.

[10:10][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Walks into the spooky castle, decked out in space-sealed delta armour, the helmet's visor totally blacked out, a small projector on her suit making it appear like she has two shadows.

[10:10][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Chocolates bounced off of Val's edgy helmet.

[10:11][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Stopped to snatch some chocolates up for after, passsing some off to the smaller kids who couldn't reach them due to the taller ones.

[10:12][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Gaggles of young children were running around the castle giggling and holding pumpkin-shaped pails.

[10:12][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*A flock of baby Scyrthi dressed as bats flew past David's head.

[10:13][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David walks in, dressed as a king with a regal purple robe.

[10:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Quickly muted her helmet's speakers so she could daww at the adorable bat babies.

[10:14][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Teeth]  *He was in the main hall on the karaoke machine, snarling out a rendition of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5-3Kmcs__4

[10:14][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to David when she sees him.

[10:14][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods in return.

[10:15][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  *She bounded in after David in kitty ears with a fancy princess dress and a tiara.

[10:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'Ello, David.. Azacri. Looking lovely as ever.

[10:15][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  "David!  David!  Did you see the Scyrthi bat babies?!

[10:16][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  "Oh!!  Hi Val!"  *She waved.

[10:16][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I did

[10:16][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David smiles at her.* Where is Princess Leia

[10:16][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Waved back, her projected second shadow mimicking the movements of the actual one.

[10:16][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  "Oh, they're soooo cute!  I'm going to go trick or treating, will you be alright at the bar for a little while??

[10:17][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I will be fine as long as you return

[10:17][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  *She giggled.*  "She's at home keeping watch over her kingdom!"  *She got on her toes and kissed David on the cheek.*  "I'll be back with lots of candy!

[10:18][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  "I'll keep an eye on Cynna, okay Val??  Just enjoy the party!

[10:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Az.* "Merci, dear. I know she will be alright wiz 'er friends, but zat is very kind of you.

[10:18][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*An Ottler was seen running from group to group showing them his mime skills

[10:18][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:That is good

[10:19][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Giggled at Ott, taking some candy out of her adventurer's bag and offering to put into his hat for his lovely performance.

[10:19][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  "Okay!  Don't drink too much!"  *She giggled and raced off to the trick-or-treating in the rest of the spooky castle.

[10:19][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Wearing https://cdn.ezcosplay.com/media/catalog/product/cache/88a5a78f5dc8f5fb801e9020fd0d9592/f/i/final_fantasy_vii_tifa_lockhart_cosplay_costume-1.jpg

[10:21][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Scratched his fake beard, dressed in a full blackbeard get-up, including lit fuses in his hat, watching Ott's performance as well.

[10:22][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  *She was in a red dress with little red devil horns and a pitchfork.*  "The fuck's he doing, having a stroke?

[10:22][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottler] *he pantomimes going down the escalator behind the couches, waving at the spectators as he disappeared

[10:22][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "I think he's supposed to be a mime... creepy fuckers, those.

[10:22][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren daintily sipped a drink that was orange on the bottom and green on the top.

[10:23][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  "Shit's weird.  Get me a drink.

[10:23][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Right. Whiskey?

[10:23][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  "Yep.

[10:24][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*Meanwhile a not so friendly Peter Pan sipped his drink, staring daggers at the mime from his seat

[10:24][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Headed to the bar, nodding to Eren, the bushy black beard jumping around everywhere, while he ordered two whiskeys from HoloHank.

[10:25][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*The suit with the blackened visor headed behind Sinez, two shadows looming over him at the same time, mimicking one another's movements, as it patted his shoulder.

[10:26][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*Grumpy Pan turned around, looking up at the visor* ...Yes

[10:27][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Holo Hank] *He was a zombie tonight.  He gave Bore his drinks.

[10:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie pressed a button on her wrist as soon as he turned, a humanoid skull appearing in the visor.* "'Ey, who turned out ze lights?

[10:28][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he blinked, turning around to keep his eye on the Mime briefly* The lights are on? Just dimmed, can you see alright

[10:28][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*A few visibly drunk Pilgrim deltas were doing a rendition of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_k6hAVmn8Q on the karaoke machine.

[10:28][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Nodded to Hank and took the drinks back to Nadine.* "Fer you, me fair lassie." *He did an excruciatingly bad pirate accent.

[10:28][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Damn it, Sinez... we watched zis show togezher!

[10:28][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  *She took both drinks.*  "Took you long enough.

[10:29][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Blame the zombie bartender.

[10:29][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren eyed David at the end of the bar.*  "Now, what in the world are you supposed to be?

[10:29][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:A king

[10:29][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:We did? *he got up, closely examining the suit again

[10:30][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  "Nah."  *She drank down one of the whiskeys.

[10:30][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren squinted.*  "King of what, now?"  *She smirked.

[10:30][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well, I am certain you caught a few episodes wiz me. Remember? Library, creatures of ze darkness, man in a blue telephone box?

[10:30][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Oh! The man and his magic wand

[10:30][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ze same one.

[10:31][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Drunk his whiskey too.* "By the by, I've been thinking... we should spar more. Captain wants me to improve my combat training, you can probably teach me how to throw a better punch.

[10:31][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I.. don't remember much from that show, remember you had to refresh my mind every suprise that show revealed

[10:32][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  *She eyed him.*  "You just want more reasons to get your ass paddled.

[10:32][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well, oui, but I zhought ze monsters were memorable enough for you at least.

[10:32][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Well... not really, no. That combat training thing is real.

[10:32][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I...do not know

[10:33][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled.*  "A king with no kingdom, have you ever heard of something so tragic?

[10:33][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:...I remember the fez.

[10:33][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Ettore]  "Uh-huh, sure."  *She poked his ass with her pitchfork.

[10:33][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. Fezes are cool. And I did never make you custard wiz fish fingers as I promised.

[10:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Ouch!" *He poked her back with his pirate rapier... which was made out of styrofoam and only made a squeaky sound.

[10:34][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he came up behind David and tapped him on the shoulder, offering him a tiny bouquet of flowers

[10:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Walked up to the bar to get a small glass of wine, smiling and waving at those she knew, before turning to watch Ottmime's performance.

[10:34][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David accepts the flowers.* Thank you Mister Proy

[10:35][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he chuckled, his face scrunched up* No thank you. It's a nice costum

[10:36][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] You're welcome! *he blinked, hands covering his mouth after the done goof

[10:37][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed! So is yours. K'Ria is Tinkerbell, I presume?

[10:37][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled and sipped her drink.

[10:37][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I do not think mimes are supposed to speak

[10:38][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Send him to the dungeon, your majesty," *Eren smirked.

[10:39][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I do not think Princess Azacri would approve

[10:39][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he paused mid-bow to David to peek at Eren, a look of horror crossing his face

[10:39][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] "Oooh, Eren! I love your costume! Did you hear the movie's getting a remake?

[10:39][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren paused, then looked at Veeri.*  "That's the scariest thing I've heard tonight.

[10:39][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:No, we decided on wendy and her nightgown.

[10:39][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Patted Ott's shoulder.* "Don't worry. He doesn't have any real dungeons... I think.

[10:39][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie chuckles.* "Oh, my, zat will be a sight.

[10:40][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Wait... Azacri's the princess?  If you're the king wouldn't you be her father, then?

[10:40][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She squinted at David.

[10:40][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *Also squinted at David

[10:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] "Well, that's... some couples do that." *Smiled awkwardly, trying to be supportive.

[10:40][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:Oh...she is the Queen, then

[10:41][DOIC2]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Azacri]  *She was presently in another part of the castle, explaining to the Irushey what a princess was in great detail.

[10:41][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:It will be, drink

[10:41][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Why not? Ze mime appears done wiz 'is show.

[10:42][DOIC2]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Ankos] *Was in a dragon costume, being the friendly dragon who doesn't kidnap princesses.

[10:42][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he still silentely stared at David, unsure about everything now

[10:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Still gave David her awkward supportive not-judging smile.

[10:43][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:If I can keep him in my sights it'll be alright

[10:43][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Zombie Hank, get this man a drink quickly so he has an excuse for not talking."  *She pointed to David.

[10:43][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Zombie Hank]  "Brains."  *He gave David one of the orange and green drinks.

[10:43][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David looks awkwardly at Ott before taking the drink.

[10:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Walked up to the bar, nodding to the others, the skull "inside" her helmet still visible.

[10:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Love ze costume, Eren... Undying love.

[10:46][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David sips the drink.

[10:46][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Always been a favourite.  Apparently they're remaking it... travesty."  *She shook her head.

[10:47][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he shrugged and ran off to go entertain other unfortunate people

[10:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Took her wine.* "Why a travesty? I think they're getting an actual joined actor to play in it this time.

[10:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie shrugs.* "So long as it keeps ze classics alive and gets zem to more people. If it were not for my mozher, I would not know ze film.

[10:47][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Because it's a classic, timeless!  You can still watch it today and feel the same as you did when it first came out.

[10:48][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*Sin shrugged* The remakes wear it out a bit anyways.

[10:48][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Shrugs.* "I guess? I think of it like theater plays. Every director and cast has their own interpretations andd stuffs and can play it in a new way while keeping the spirit of the original?

[10:49][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren made a face.*  "It's nothing like theatre," *she muttered and drank deeply.

[10:49][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Shrugs as well.

[10:50][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he cleared his throat, turning to Val* Witches brew

[10:50][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie broke the seals on her helmet, taking it off so that she can get herself a bit of wine.

[10:50][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Why not? Does it still 'ave chocolate spiders inside?

[10:51][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The Candy Witch made another pass, raining little rainbow fruit-flavoured candies of no discernable brand.

[10:51][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Ran and climbed up onto a couch to collect as many as possible.

[10:52][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie simply turned her helmet upside-down and collected candy in it, then left it like that on the counter for anyone who wished to pinch some.

[10:52][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Does it really matter? *he ordered a couple, letting the candy shower down around

[10:52][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren eyeballed one as it landed in her drink, and drank it anyway.

[10:52][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ze chocolate spiders are ze cherry on top, as zey say.

[10:54][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:So long as they're not a choking hazard. *he nodded to Hank, sliding her the drink when it arrived

[10:54][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Zombie Hank]  "Brains...

[10:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"We are all adults, most of us know 'ow to do CPR.

[10:55][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Coughed loudly from the couch, having stuffed one too many pieces of the rainbow candy down her gullet.

[10:56][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I'd hope so.. *he looked to Eren* You checked out that new haunted house everyone keeps talking about? The one that holds six stories that supposedly no ones finished through

[10:57][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"I'm a little old for haunted houses, I think," *Eren muttered into her drink.

[10:57][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Wiz our line of work, we see more zan enough similar zhings anyways.

[10:58][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Got over the cough once she swallowed all the candy, and started making an inventory of her loot.

[10:59][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren moved down the bar.*  "So... King David.  You're even more quiet than usual.

[11:00][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David raises his eyebrows as he finishes his drink.

[11:00][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I thought I was typically very quiet

[11:00][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at David's response.

[11:00][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"A single percentage point still counts as 'more,'" *she chuckled.

[11:00][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he seemed slightly offended* But.. they're supposed to be fun, no? *he looked at val

[11:01][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Climbed up to the karaoke machine in his pirate geddup and started with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRKAL-i-UbE&ab_channel=michielking

[11:01][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Oh, it depends. Some are fun, some are way too subdued. Zis one -does- sound interesting, if nobody 'as finished it.

[11:02][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I suppose

[11:03][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:SHouldn't even mention the ones that little kids can walk through with ease.. Those shouldn't even be called haunted houses

[11:04][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'Ey now. Everyone starts somewhere. Like learning to 'old your rifle before shooting it.

[11:04][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David looks to Sereya.* What are you dressed up as

[11:04][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Some Kirtascans were throwing a 'Sinners House' on another holodeck... did not seem like my kind of fun."  *She smirked at Sin.

[11:04][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Lady Jenian," *She smiled at David.*  "From an old Trill horror classic.

[11:05][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Sounds intriguing, if only from a cultural standpoint.

[11:05][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Sinners house? *he thought on this

[11:05][DOIC3]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Blaine]  *He looked on at the spectacle of a bunch of nonbelievers who didn't wear the right holy undergarments.*  "I think we might be in the wrong holodeck.

[11:06][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:Ah

[11:06][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "Ya think?

[11:07][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled.*  "I'll send you and Azacri a copy... though Az may think it was too scary.

[11:07][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Goose] *A goose, having been outfitted with a little angel halo attached to its head, was roaming the halls of the spooky castle, looking for her quarry.

[11:08][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I will be sure to help her through it

[11:08][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:Unless you would like to view it with us

[11:09][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Well, there's nothing to get you cuddles quite like scaring your wife with a movie," *she teased.

[11:09][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Toasted Sin with her witches' brew and took a big sip.

[11:09][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he was seen apologizing profusely to a couple of parents hovering over their crying child* I'm so sorry! Please forgive me

[11:10][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*The parents lead the little girl off, shooting Ott death glares over their shoulders.

[11:10][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Hopefully nothing harmful spreads.. *he clinked his glass off hers before sipping

[11:10][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Walked up to comfort Ott with candy.

[11:10][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Oh, I'd just ruin it by already knowing how it ends," *she chuckled.

[11:11][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Nozhing 'armful?

[11:11][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:The house.. the house.. *he laughed* Nothing wrong with the cuddles

[11:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed... Speaking of 'armful spooky 'ouses, I do believe not one can 'old a candle to one of Earzh's old spooky 'ouses. It got shut down ages ago, but it became active in ze 21st century and ze

[11:13][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he ran off to donate his candy back to the witch's bag for compensation

[11:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Visitors were quite 'onestly tortured. Zey 'ad to sign waivers zat ze 'ouse would not be 'eld legally responsible for bodily 'arm or mental 'arm of any kinds. Oh, and death.

[11:14][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Ott would see a pack of candy smokey-sticks in the bag.

[11:14][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"That... matches up fairly well with the image I had in my hand of 21st century Earth.

[11:14][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*head )

[11:14][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he reached into the bag for the smokey sticks!

[11:14][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Veeri] *Sipped pumpkin spice creature energy drink while she watched Ott, energizing herself for a night of collecting candy.

[11:15][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Ott gains +1 Candy Cigarettes.

[11:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. One of ze "Fun attractions" was being waterboarded.

[11:16][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"And as someone who 'as been waterboarded, let me tell you, it is not somezhing I would pay for.

[11:16][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Well, it's someone's kink.

[11:16][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I assume they just were curious

[11:16][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I 'ave seen some kinks in my time, but waterboarding...

[11:16][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs to Sin.* "I would not know.

[11:17][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*Sin stared at Val, totally knowing

[11:17][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David blinks.

[11:17][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren rolled the ice in her glass.*  "I guess they were die-curious?

[11:17][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at Eren's pun.* "Well played.

[11:18][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"I'll be here all week.  Hopefully.  Maker knows the Kzari will choose now to start Operation Fart All Over The Fucking Galaxy anew.

[11:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Oui... I liked zem bezzer when it was just sexy uniforms and casual specieism.

[11:20][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Wish we could have uniforms that nice..."  *She sighed wistfully.

[11:21][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed... 'ell, we 'umans even 'ave a design starfleet can use.

[11:21][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She squinted at Val.*  "No.

[11:22][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs.

[11:22][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he raised a brow, brushing it off soon after with a sip of his brew

[11:24][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren drained her glass.*  "Another round, Hank!

[11:24][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"One 'as to give it to ze modern romulans too, zey know 'ow to make an uniform.

[11:24][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:[Zombie Hank]  "Brains."  *He started doling out new drinks.

[11:24][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Not quite like zeir 'ideous 23rd century designs.

[11:24][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"What, not a fan of pointy shoulders, Chalons?

[11:25][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Non... and ze terrible patterns zey used too.

[11:25][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled.*  "Every species goes through a phase where their fashion is abhorrent and they don't realise it until much later.

[11:25][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"On Trill some people used to get their spots filled in with different colours.  Absolutely hideous.

[11:26][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Luckily, 'umans went zhrough zat recently enough. 'Ave you seen ze uniforms from Admiral Janeway's time?

[11:26][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ugh. Zat sounds almost blasphemous.

[11:26][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren shrugged.*  "I didn't remember them being that bad at the time.

[11:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I do not know. Starfleet 'as gone through some quite bad designs. Admittedly, I like ze current ones.

[11:30][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Eh... they aren't that terribly flattering."  *She looked between David and Sinez.

[11:30][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I do need to go back to thank my parents for making me in this period actually.

[11:31][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"True, but compared to most from ze past... Actually, I zhink ze only passable ones until ze current ones were ze ones from about 2260.

[11:31][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Oh, please, like they had a say," *she chuckled.

[11:32][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:It's all relatively fine right now.. *he chuckled* Who knows.

[11:32][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I do not mind the uniforms

[11:32][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Sure, you don't... you don't pair yours with a skirt.

[11:33][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She eyed David.*  "As far as I know.

[11:33][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Not zat I 'ave seen so far.

[11:33][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Weren't skirts comfortable though

[11:33][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zey are not zat comfortable. Terrible to wear on ze job or in battle.

[11:33][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I do not

[11:34][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Not what I mean.  It looks -odd- having long sleeves and a short, short skirt.

[11:35][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"True enough... Still, various captains allow various corners to be cut, so you could try asking. 'Ell, Liz wears a short dress.

[11:35][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren gave Val an odd look.*  "Why would I want to do that?  Uniforms are supposed to be uniform.  If you start dressing like a special and unique snowflake you just single yourself out as a target.

[11:35][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I personally do not mind viewing the skirts

[11:36][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"I'm sure you don't, David.

[11:36][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he chucklled down at his drink

[11:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Gave David a look, before nodding to Eren.* "I know. I do keep in uniform, but some variations can be made, I imagine? 'Ell, you 'ave seen ze documentaries.

[11:37][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Counselor Troi and zat lovely skin-tight suit?

[11:37][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"It's why the white shoulders are a terrible fucking idea, too.  Now, back in the day, you had to look at the pips...

[11:37][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Of course I have, she was a dumb bitch.

[11:37][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:She looked like a cheerleader.

[11:38][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"May'aps. Still looked good. And she was not really in a role zat did too much off ze ship.

[11:38][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren rubbed her forehead.

[11:39][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"In any case, variations are dumb and the people who wear them are dumb and shouldn't be in fucking Starfleet."  *She took a drink.

[11:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zat is razher rude. I know ze Gigantes 'as some good officers who wear variations, like Nine.

[11:40][DOIC5]Sinez@the5of43:[Ottmime] *he took the candy smokey sticks out and tried to smoke them, away from the holodeck

[11:40][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren gave Val a look with that.

[11:40][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:I have met a Vulcan who prefers variations

[11:41][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. V'Tira. Also a great stratops, from what I 'ear.

[11:42][DOIC5]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:[Goose] *Sits down in front of Ott, giving him a judgemental look.

[11:42][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"She's... insane, you know that, right?

[11:43][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:Insane

[11:43][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Did I stutter?

[11:43][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he turned to look at her

[11:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I 'ave never worked wiz 'er. 'Owever, from ze times I 'ave interacted wiz 'er, such 'as not been made obvious.

[11:44][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Yes, because you're a bastion of insight and observation, Chalons.

[11:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zhink whatever you will, Eren.

[11:44][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She grunted and finished her drink.

[11:45][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David glances at Eren before sipping his drink.

[11:45][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"All I can tell you is Zee would not keep 'er around if she did not know she can do ze job, and do it well.

[11:45][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Maker, are you still talking?"  *She rolled her eyes.*  "I'm heading out, good night.

[11:45][DOIC1]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She turned and walked off.

[11:46][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Laughs and takes a sip.

[11:46][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Someone 'as not been fucked well in a good, long time... I would recommend you get on zat, David.

[11:47][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David blinks a bit at Val's bluntness.

[11:47][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:ALright, that's good enough Val

[11:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs at Sin.* "I am just saying.

[11:48][DOIC1]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David finishes his drink.* I will check on her well being

[11:49][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Thank you David

[11:49][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to David.

[11:50][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"You do know it would probably 'ave meant more if you went, Sinez?

[11:52][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:That's part of the reason why I didn't.. But no, you just had to do you

[11:52][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren was off in one of the other rooms in the castle smoking with a ghoul and a witch.

[11:52][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David enters the room, coughing.

[11:53][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren looked at David.*  "Smelled the herb, huh?  Want a hit?

[11:53][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Do me? I would say, I just gave David a piece of advice. I did not zhink 'e would act on it quite so quickly.

[11:54][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:I believe I have already had one by walking in the room

[11:54][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled.*  "A direct one does the trick much faster."  *She offered David the blunt.

[11:55][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David takes it, examining it.

[11:55][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*It was a very fat blunt.

[11:55][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Would've been alright had you two just not locked horns on your take of things..*he sighed

[11:56][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David smokes it.

[11:56][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Sinez, expressing your opinion on somezhing is not quite locking 'orns. I could 'ave gone much 'arder on 'er, seeing as she was saying a friend of mine is insane.

[11:56][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*He immediately starts coughing.

[11:56][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren smirked.*  "Careful, now.  Maybe sit down.

[11:57][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David covers his mouth, taking a seat beside her.

[11:58][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"You're supposed to let it out eventually, you know."  *She took the blunt back.

[11:58][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David lets it out by coughing.

[11:59][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I'd figured you'd have taken the hint after a few with her. You don't -always- need to give your opinion you know

[11:59][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren took a large hit, closing her eyes as she held it in and then releasing it in a clean stream of smoke up toward the ceiling.*  "Happy Halloween, indeed.

[11:59][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zat is not 'ow ze world works." *She shrugged.* "If Eren cannot take zat zere are ozher people wiz ozher viewpoints, Starfleet may not be ze place for 'er.

[12:01][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David's coughing eventually subsides.

[12:01][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She smirked over at David.*  "I take it the wife doesn't let you partake in such things.

[12:02][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Oh she knows, she just doesn't want to hear it

[12:02][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:I do not think she prefers it

[12:03][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Strange for someone who used to be a diplomat. You would expect zese kind of reactions from... myself, may'aps, or anozher delta.

[12:03][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Mmh, she strikes me as a very... straight edge type," *she chuckled.*  "Or that her drug of choice is pure sugar.

[12:04][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods.

[12:04][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Used to be, not the same as is.. This is a whole different person

[12:05][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:It is not something I typically partake in either

[12:05][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Sighs lightly.* "Indeed. Still, scientists are supposed to be a bit more open minded. Saying zat V'Tira is insane because she is not ze typical vulcan.. well, zat does anger me quite some.

[12:05][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Well, all bets are off on Samhain, I hear.

[12:06][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:Samhain

[12:06][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Fancy human word for Halloween, I guess.

[12:06][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:Oh

[12:07][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She smirked at David.*  "From your part of Earth, actually, if I'm not mistaken.

[12:08][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:Interesting

[12:08][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Oh, yes, I can tell by how you're hanging on to my every word," *She snickered and took another puff.

[12:09][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he shrugged* Did you even ask why she thought so

[12:10][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:I am, as you said, typically quiet

[12:11][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Admittedly, I did not.

[12:12][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"It's not quite a problem when you have a hyperactive little wife who can speak for you, huh?

[12:12][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Mhmm I thought so.. *he sipped* Hence her comment about you being a bastion.

[12:13][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:That is true. She also hands most social activities

[12:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Not quite. I said I 'ave not noticed such. She could 'ave easily said why she believes V'Tira to be insane, instead of going back to 'er usual shallow bitchiness.

[12:14][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:However, I feel I have improved emotionally and socially during our relationship

[12:14][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"This is the improvement?"  *She teased him.

[12:15][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David raises his eyebrows.

[12:16][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:Am I doing something wrong

[12:16][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"No wonder if was a Betazoid who fell for you, you'd have to be telepathic to get past your quiet stoicism."  *She smirked.*  "Not at all, David.

[12:17][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:She was very gracious in offering to assist me telepathically

[12:17][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Thats not how she is usually anyways.. Her patience was thin

[12:18][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Of course she was.  She's the type who can't see someone suffering and ignore it.

[12:19][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:That is one reason why it was an easy choice to marry her

[12:20][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Mh.  Well, I don't give my blessing to a lot of marriages, but you two are one of the exceptions."  *She tapped some ash into a spooky hollow skull on the bedside table.

[12:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I will trust you on zat. I can tell you I 'ave seen similar be'aviour from 'er often enough. Whatever. Eren and 'er faults are not a favourite topic of mine. 'Ow is your family? Veeri 'as told me

[12:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite ze lovely zhings about zem, quite like I remember zem.

[12:23][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:It is appreciated

[12:24][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he shrugged* They're fine for the time being, haven't spoken to them much lately.. Things busy over here behind the scenes

[12:25][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David looks her over.* As is your outfit

[12:25][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Oui, truly so... eizher way, my fazher sent over a batch of wine from trillberries and grapes 'e 'ad made quite ze long time ago, 'e is demanding I give you a bottle or two and sending 'is greetings

[12:26][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren chuckled.*  "I'm sure," *she teased.*  "I should head back... get some rest and be ready for part two of the party tomorrow.  Hopefully there'll be better attendance then, eh?

[12:26][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods.* Would you like me to join you

[12:26][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I will send it to your room. I do 'ope you shall enjoy it. 'E is quite eager for a trill opinion, I imagine." *She chuckles.

[12:27][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:He demanded I try it

[12:27][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*She gave him an amused look.*  "Trying to kill some time while you wait for your princess bride to finish her candy haul?

[12:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Oh no, 'e demanded I send you some bottles wiz 'is greetings. After all, you are still one of ze favourites I 'ave brought over.

[12:28][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods.* This...appears to have some effect as well. *He motions to the smoke.

[12:29][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Hmm.. alrigght, I'll give it a try with Ri

[12:29][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Ah, you're a randy smoker... I should've known.

[12:30][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:A what

[12:30][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren leaned in to murmur in his ear.

[12:30][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed... do take ze time to relax. We do not know what comes next, but I do 'ave an uneasy feeling in my gut.

[12:31][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods.

[12:31][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Ri has been telling me the same as well.. *he nodded* We'll try

[12:31][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:*Eren looked down at his lap.*  "I always did have that insight...

[12:32][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed... strange as it is, I am glad little Skye is not 'ere for zis.

[12:32][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:*David nods, looking slightly embarrassed.

[12:33][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"Now, what's that look for?  It's not like Azacri minds," *she smirked.

[12:33][DOIC4]David Allen@ClingingMar:An emotional reflex

[12:33][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Everybody misses Skye, that I know for sure.

[12:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. I 'ave sent 'er a few messages, I do 'ope zey reach 'er. Liz promised she would see to it.

[12:34][DOIC4]Sereya Eren@liorexu:"I'm sure...

[12:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"And speaking of, you do need to write to Santa.

[12:36][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I really do need to reach Skye, have you been successful with geting a respons

[12:36][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:?

[12:36][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:And.. santa

[12:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She shook her head.* "None so far. But I am quite certain my messages 'ave reached 'er, or will soon.

[12:37][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"And indeed... 'e does need to know if you 'ave been naughzy or nice.

[12:38][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I'd like to think i've been nicer than previous years.

[12:38][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles.* "Do write to 'im, zen... Liz is insisting all of us do, and she will forward it to 'im, and can even 'elp some friends or family out.

[12:39][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Yes, I'll write to some random stranger who dresses up like him.

[12:39][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Still zhink you are too old to believe in Santa?

[12:39][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"You should take some pointers from Veeri.

[12:40][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Well yes, I'm the one that goes out and gets the gifts for others.

[12:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zat is simply because you lack ze Christmas spirit... and ze right contacts.

[12:41][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Mhmm, you're not gonna convince me Val.

[12:41][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zat is a shame.

[12:41][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"If Liz believes in somezhing, zere is a good chance it may exist.

[12:43][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Mhmm ok Val.. sure.. *he gave her a long look* I should probably go find out where Wendy went now

[12:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. Do give 'er my best. I will go look for Cynna.

[12:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She waved, then put her skull helmet on and walked off.*
