Star Trek: Eventide 777

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 06:40 AM

"Really? What a pleasant surprise, let's go,"Aella grabbed Ughaz'udan's hand and dragged him inside, as if pretending his wife wasn't literally right there. She didn't care, in fact, she welcomed any conflict that may come. @Lieutenant Ughaz’udan @Lieutenant T'Rell Torvek

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 06:43 AM

She scowled before entering and then cooling her gorgeous green face back to a more neutral tone although her hands were in tight fists.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 06:46 AM

The tension between both women went momentarily ignored by the Jem'hadar, who scowled as the garden in all its haphazard glory swallowed them into its verdant green depths; the colors all clashed, dammit, the flowers horrifyingly gaudy against the grass, the trees either too tall or too short, a small lake that was weirdly squiggly in shape... well, let's just say that there were all manner of things wrong with this scene and he'd been responsible for all of it. In a word, ew.* "It has not changed at all." *He noted resignedly. Why would it have? No one with any sense of holoprogam design would make something this garish.

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 06:49 AM

"We all make mistakes, honey." She reassured him and walking a little closer to her husband. She glared at the Vorta in a way that made it seem like she herself was one of those mistakes. "I think we've both made at least a few."

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 06:52 AM

The garden was just how she remembered. Despite Ughaz'udan's critiques, Aella didn't have any opinion about the aesthetics. She never did, it was all the same to her. All these years serving with other races and aesthetics still were a mystery to her. Was it the green that was so ugly? What if it was blue? "Is there something wrong? Is it the grass?"Aella turned to Virana, purposefully playing innocent to tease her.

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 06:57 AM

"I think it has something more so to do with the ugly pale splotch that situated itself right in this area over here." She said and gestured to where the Vorta was sitting.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 07:00 AM

"Enough." He patted both women on the arm, once each. "Our coming back here is not to fight each other. There are greater battles to be had and this is not one of them." He then resumed admiring (well, more like scowling at) his handiwork in silence while squeezing Virana's hand.

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 07:03 AM

"Your right, honey. It simply isn't worth it to make a fuss." She agreed, a little more calm after he squeezed her hand reassuringly. At least, it better not be...

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 07:06 AM

Aella did not want to back down, no, she wouldn't go down easily."I agree. Let's not fight. But you will look only at me when we are talking,"Aella stepped in front of Ughaz'udan and put her hands on her hips.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 07:15 AM

"Aella." Ughaz'udan said, a little more firmly this time. "Why don't we compromise. Sit. I'll talk to both of you at once."

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 07:18 AM

Her green lips turned upwards in approval. "That's a great idea, Darling." She nodded, resisting the urge to say something more. He was her husband after all, the Vorta should have taken him when she had the chance if she really wanted him. It was too late now, he was her's and she was his, she thought in a matter of fact way.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 07:29 AM

" Okay let's talk,"Aella crossed her arms and glared at Virana."Like I said, you've gotten soft, you take orders from her now?"

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 07:33 AM

"I do not take orders from her per se." He clarified. "A husband and wife are equals - we listen to each other as needed. The only orders I take are from Alliance Command and the Founders."

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 07:36 AM

She bristled again before listening to her husband's words and she relaxed just a smidge. "Agreed, and he technically didn't take orders from me at all. I simply agreed with him." She argued. "And if you think he's soft? Well then obviously your pretty little head is only for looks because he's one of the strongest men I know." She interjected. "And that's saying a lot from someone who grew up in Orion space."

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 07:42 AM

"Equals?"*Aella couldn't help but laugh when she heard it. Equals? The idea of being equals to anyone was wild to her, there was a strict hierarchy and in her mind Ughaz'udan was always below her. That is one thing that no amount of time on an Alliance starbase would ever change in her mind. *"He's not strong if he calls himself equals with a girl like you."

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 07:45 AM

"Virana is stronger than you seem to think she is, Aella, and I am sorry you may never see her prove herself." Ughaz'udan squeezed the Orion's hand.

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 07:51 AM

She squeezed his hand back tightly, a girl like her? She narrowed her brown eye and bit back a scowl. "Like I said, someone here in this holodeck is missing more than a few brain cells and it certainly isn't me or my husband." She snapped. "And please it's rich, the talk about my strength coming from you." She rolled her eyes.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 08:05 AM

" Excuse me? I was created by the Founders themselves, gods don't make mistakes. The only problem here is you,"*Aella took a deep breath, she was beyond angry. * "This was just supposed to be me and Ughaz'udan. This is our place."

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 08:10 AM

"That's your defense? That they don't make mistakes? Well obviously, nobody's perfect, and they made one mistake. Sure, they wanted you Vorta to do whatever, be the administration of your world if you will buy obviously they forgot to account for personality. And what were you planning to do with just you and my husband anyway?" She demanded.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 08:18 AM

He'd decided to keep quiet for the time being - at least until both women decided to start killing each other.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 08:25 AM

"Everything created by the Founders is perfect, this I would gladly fight for,"Aella 5 was less violent that her predecessor, but that didn't mean she had any less fight and anger in her tiny Vorta body. "I told you, we were going to reminisce. Right, right? Ughaz'udan, agree with me, we are both Dominion, that Orion girl will never understand."

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 08:44 AM

"Reminisce back to the time when you used to date?" She bristled and she stood up quickly, her dark russet colored hair flying. "How in the world does that make me feel any better?" She demanded. "And you know who I would more than gladly fight for?" She pointed to the lizard. "Him, so stop it, stop whatever your doing right now." She snapped. "Because I see right through them you little minx!" She said with a scowl, her voice raising.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 08:46 AM

"Alright, both of you, enough!" Snapped the Jem'hadar, gently grabbing both their wrists and forcing both women to sit. "We are guests on this starbase, all of us, and the least we can do is to cause its crew as little trouble as possible! Now pipe down - and if you cannot get along with each other then don't talk to each other and do something foolish. And I mean this in the kindest way possible!" (edited)

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 08:51 AM

She nodded and glares at the Vorta while rubbing her wrist. Biting back her tongue, holding back harsh words, at least they weren't out in public screaming at each other. Virana suddenly understood her daughter's desire to challenge others to a fight, she herself would have loved to pound the little Vorta in.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:01 AM

As much as she wanted to fight more, even she realised any more and she could end up in Sickbay. "You really have changed, you being with that woman brings shame to the Founders."

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 09:05 AM

"Yes. I have changed. As to whether I bring the Founders shame in choosing to spend my life with her?" He glanced sideways at Virana, then Aella, the latter more firmly. "I suppose it depends on perspective. You are entitled to yours and I to mine. That is all. We do not need to quabble over it."

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 09:09 AM

She almost lunged towards the Vorta before being stopped at the lizard's words, she scowled at the pretty little Vorta. He shouldn't...bring the Founder's shame? She hated the way it sounded, like he was sacrificing everything to be with her. He shouldn't have to...

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:23 AM

"You want to fight me, don't you?"Aella looked at Virana and smirked."Hmm, what's wrong? Did you realise that you will always be second place in his heart, unless he has completely abandoned the Founders. "

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 09:24 AM

"Virana. Don't." He urged, squeezing her fingers. "This isn't the place or time."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:28 AM

She squeezed his hand tightly, fighting, the urge to tackle the Vorta where she stood. "Then get her to shut up." She hissed. "Or so help me I will..." She took a deep breath and turned around, groaning as she rested her hand upon her face.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:41 AM

"Maybe we are too different now. This is over,"Honestly, Aella wanted to push things further and throw hands. She was going to be the first one to leave.

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:47 AM

"What, this little get together or whatever relationship you thought you had with my husband?" She snapped. "Because that should have been over years ago."

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:52 AM

"We're both Dominion, an outsider could never understand. We live and die for the Founders but I guess he's forgotten that after spending so much time with you."Aella put her hands on her hips again, maybe she was going to fight if this Orion was gonna keep talking.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 09:58 AM

"Perhaps Virana might prove you wrong someday." He interjected, at least before people got hurt or so he hoped. "For now - perhaps it is best we part ways. Why don't we... agree to disagree. I believe that is the human term."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 09:59 AM

She nodded stiffly. "That's probably the best choice of action." She agreed, albeit hesitantly.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:04 AM

"Enjoy your life, may the Founders forgive you someday,"Things were crazy, but honestly Aella loved this. But this had come to an end, she would take her leave gracefully.

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:08 AM

"Forgive?" She hissed to herself, her anger rising again before she violently kicked it down. She hated how...how...composed the little Vorta left. Like she had done no wrong while Virana herself was left spluttering and bristled. It didn't seem right, she...she scowled once more.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:09 AM

Ughaz'udan opted to say or do nothing else except simply bring his arms round his wife and pull her close.

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:10 AM

She relaxed in his arms. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "That must have been...so embarrassing for you." She admitted, resting her head on him. Shame suddenly replaced the anger she had felt from before.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:12 AM

"You win some, you lose some." He whispered into her ear. "You handled yourself excellently. I am proud."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:15 AM

"Really?" She gave a soft smile before it faded away quickly. "Do you... really think you're bringing shame by simply just being with me?" She whispered back fearfully. "I don't...I don't want to..."

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:17 AM

"Whether I am or am not is irrelevant. I am happy with you at my side, to fight my lifelong battle with me." He countered, resting her head against the soft, scale plated flesh of his neck. "And I have learned that sometimes that is all that is necessary for fulfillment."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:19 AM

She looked up at him, his huge scaly self that didn't care as long as he was with her and leaned in to kiss him softly, wrapping her arms around him as she did so.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:23 AM

He leaned in and let his lips gently press to hers. He'd learned to enjoy moments like these; moments of surreal bliss and contentment. "Why don't we find Sharra." He suggested.

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:24 AM

She pulled back with a smile on her lips. "Let's do it, I hope she hasn't been getting into too much trouble.* She chuckled. "I wonder where she gets it from..."

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:26 AM

"Surely it can't be me." He deadpanned. "Absolutely not."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:26 AM

"Oh it's not." She agreed. "After what happened just now? It's clearly not." She laughed.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:30 AM

"Of course not. Her mother deals with trouble like a Jem'hadar too." He made a low chuckle. "I wonder where she got that from."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:34 PM

She grinned and have him another peck on the cheek. "Let's go find our troublesome little daughter." She chuckled.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Feb-22 10:44 PM

"And hope she hasn't challenged anyone to a duel to the death." He joked, standing and taking his wife's hand. "I believe you also left it to me to decide on dinner tonight..."

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:46 PM

"Yes I did, have any place in mind?" She asked curiously with a smile.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 10:48 PM

"You'll see. I have it planned nicely - just you wait." He quipped.

Virana Taf | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 10:53 PM

"Well I'm excited to see what you have planned." She nodded before making her way to the entrance of the holodeck and looking back to wait for the lizard to join her.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 11:51 PM

He lumbered past her, taking her hand and making his way out the doors.
