Star Trek: Eventide 777

Narrator BOT 18-Dec-21 12:35 AM

Just back from the main bar sat the seating area for that section, placed at a slight distance in order to let people walk up to the bar unhindered. The crystalline ice-like décor that made up the main bar was replicated here with opaque tables and chairs. Soft lighting from faux candles lit up the area and tables were decorated with floral centrepieces depicting small trees and winter flowers accenting the branches.

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 18-Dec-21 06:40 PM

Lilian sat at the bar sipping a non-alcoholic drink in a fancy asymmetrical dress.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 18-Dec-21 11:07 PM

She went to the bar seating and smiled at the officer already there and extended a hand to shake "Hello, I'm Ensign Emin. You are?" She smiled.

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 18-Dec-21 11:20 PM

“I’m Lieutenant Lilian So. It’s good to meet you ensign.” She smiled and shook the ensigns hand.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 19-Dec-21 04:31 AM

"Nice to meet you too. What division are you in? I'm the new investigations officer for security." She smiles.

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 19-Dec-21 04:35 AM

“I’m the chief science officer aboard the Eventide. It’s good to meet you.” Lilian smiled back warmly.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 19-Dec-21 04:36 AM

"Science? That's interesting, what have you been working on?" She asked curiously.

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 12:20 PM

“So, what are you getting?” asked Nolan, looking up at Ughaz. He took a seat.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 12:23 PM

Ughaz'udan probably surprised Nolan with his order - which turned out to be a pinkish peach-flavored drink of some kind complete with a little wedge of the same on the side as a garnish. "I tried this aboard the AFS Temer. Thank my assistant head of department." He rumbled. "I never learned to pronounce the name, only spell it. It originates from Trakei Minor."

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 12:24 PM

“It looks very good!” said Nolan, slightly surprised by his choice. “Is it alcoholic?”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 12:28 PM

"I was told that it is." He remarked. "I assume that you'd like to try one?"

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 02:38 PM

“Um, yes, but alcohol free if that’s possible.” He smiled and nodded.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 02:39 PM

Well, that was easy enough to arrange. After a few quick words with the bartender Nolan was served an identical drink, only this one didn't smell slightly of booze.

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 02:42 PM

“Thanks!” He took it gladly and sipped on it. “Hm, peachy!” By the look on his face, he seemed to like it.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 02:49 PM

Ughaz'udan studied the human's face with an eyebrow slightly raised. "Did you just make a pun about the flavor of the drink - and your liking it?"

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 02:50 PM

Nolan chuckled. “Yes, I did and yes, I do.” He looked at Ughaz’s eyes. “You have a good taste in drinks!”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 02:53 PM

Ughaz'udan truthfully found the sudden glance up a little unsettling. Nolan's view of the lovely deep blue orbs that were his eyes was soon tragically obscured when the Jem'hadar blinked once in surprise. "Thank you...?" Said as if he didn't know exactly why he was saying it. Weird.

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 19-Dec-21 04:15 PM

“I mostly do work relating to archeology and anthropology. Basically, I research civilizations dead and alive.” She liked this science officer, they seemed nice.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 19-Dec-21 05:18 PM

"That's cool, I've always found Klingon and Andorian really interesting. What societies are you most interested in?" She asked curiously.

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 19-Dec-21 05:21 PM

“I focus on primitive cultures, but I’ve never really had a favorite.” She took another sip of her drink.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 19-Dec-21 05:23 PM

"I guess there are just too many to choose from, huh?" She smiled. "I suppose it's interesting to connect our pasts with other cultures, right?"

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 19-Dec-21 05:47 PM

Ughaz'udan truthfully found the sudden glance up a little unsettling. Nolan's view of the lovely deep blue orbs that were his eyes was soon tragically obscured when the Jem'hadar blinked once in surprise. "Thank you...?" Said as if he didn't know exactly why he was saying it. Weird.

@Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC (@Lieutenant Ughaz’udan) - jump Nolan smiled again softly and continued sipping his drink. “Must be hard for you Jem’Hadar. Suddenly, there’s all these new things like food and sleep you need to be aware of. And social structures…” He pondered on it for a moment, then he asked, “How are you managing?”

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 19-Dec-21 06:52 PM

"Yeah, definitly. One of my favorite periods to study in Earth history was the Meji Restoration, always interesting to see cultures shift like that."

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 19-Dec-21 07:13 PM

"That does sound interesting, especially the reasons why a culture shifts and the outcomes because of it. Not to mention how it affects other cultures as well."

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 19-Dec-21 10:30 PM

Nolan smiled again softly and continued sipping his drink. “Must be hard for you Jem’Hadar. Suddenly, there’s all these new things like food and sleep you need to be aware of. And social structures…” He pondered on it for a moment, then he asked, “How are you managing?”

@Ensign Nolan Swift | MED (@peachfuzz) - jump "Slowly." He deadpanned. "But I will adapt. My tenure aboard the Temer primed me. I must adapt."

Lieutenant Lilian So | SCI BOT 20-Dec-21 02:28 AM

"Exactly! I'm glad you understand." She finished off her drink.

Ensign Emin Jessil | SEC BOT 20-Dec-21 03:51 AM

She nodded with a smile. "Yeah, anyway, it was nice talking to you Lieutenant. I should probably go say hi to my Commanding Officer now though. I'll see you around." She gave a friendly wave before getting up to leave.

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 06:25 AM

"Slowly." He deadpanned. "But I will adapt. My tenure aboard the Temer primed me. I must adapt."

@Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC (@Lieutenant Ughaz’udan) - jump “Well, if you ever need help or anything, let me know!” He smiled and sipped his drink. “Hm. I like peach! It’s not just a nice colour, it’s a nice taste as well.”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 06:26 AM

"I find them pleasant as well." Yes, that was an admission from someone who looked like a dinosaur and acted like one too. "I believe a close second would be grapes."

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 06:29 AM

Nolan was a bit surprised by the Jem’Hadar’s preferences. A gigantic warrior lizard and his favorite food was peaches and grapes. On second thought, it was just as cute and funny as it was bizarre. “So, you like sweet fruit?” he inquired.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 06:36 AM

"Yes." He answered deadpan. "Why?"

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 06:38 AM

Nolan shrugged. “Have you tried kaki fruit?”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 06:39 AM

"No. What does it taste like?" He was already on his PADD searching up said fruit; seeing what it looked like he tilted his head in confusion. "It resembles a tomato." He remarked.

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 06:45 AM

Nolan laughed. “It kinda does, yeah!” With a smile, he took another sit of the drink. It was really delicious. Then, he answered, “It tastes a bit like a mixture between a honeydew melon and an apple. The longer you let it ripen, the softer its texture gets. Some people like to wait until it’s soft enough inside to be eaten with a spoon. Personally, I like it when it’s still solid. When they’re good, they are quite sweet, but also refreshing! Just like grapes.” He shook his head at himself. “Oh, God, look at me rambling about a fruit. I’m sorry,” he said softly and chuckled.

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 01:03 PM

"It simply means that you know a considerable amount about it. That is all." Ughaz'udan deadpanned between sips of peach-flavored drink. "That being said it sounds good to eat. I shall try it one day."

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 02:20 PM

“You should!” Nolan gave an enthusiastic nod. “And then let me know how you like it. Other than peach, what kinds of food have you discovered that you like?”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 10:12 PM

"Blueberries." Yes, more unintimidating items. "I've also rather taken to salmon - preferrably raw. Thank my crewmates aboard the Temer for thinking I should try sushi once."

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 10:16 PM

Nolan chuckled at the mention of blueberries. When he heard about sushi, he raised his eyebrows. “Fish. I see. I’m not much of a sushi fan, but I find smoked fish very enjoyable!” He nodded an took another sip of the peachy drink. “So, you don’t want to dance?”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 10:23 PM

"No." He reiterated. "I do not know how."

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 20-Dec-21 10:26 PM

Nolan tilted his head slightly and blew a curl of pink hair out of his face. “What if I showed you?”

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 20-Dec-21 11:50 PM

"Perhaps I might then." He deadpanned. The idea of dancing didn't enthuse him, really, which was why he'd initially said no - but fine, if the setting mandated it and someone was willing to take him through the process for a start so be it. One try.

Ensign Nolan Swift | MED BOT 21-Dec-21 07:34 AM

“In that case,” said Nolan with a smile. “Let’s go!” He finished his drink and stood up. He gestured for Ughaz to follow him and then led the way to the #ballroom-floor

Lieutenant Ughaz'udan | TAC BOT 21-Dec-21 07:37 AM

He stood and lumbered after the human.
