BEGIN PARTY

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:18:12

:: walks through the arch and into the fair :: Hannah: Look, it’s simple. When something is about to come out of your mouth that’ll get you punched in the head, just don’t say it. Say something else. Or don’t say anything at all.

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:19:09

Zoë: Thanks, Thumper. It occur to you that maybe I like getting punched in the head?

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:19:32

:: wearing her thin white Bohemian-style off-the-shoulder high-low dress patterned in branching fanned leaves of red and blue, with a cinched waist and an intricate design on the hem, this time having added a flower crown atop her braided hair, she's thoroughly enjoying the ambience of this party ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:19:49

:: wearing a flowy bohemian summer-chic dress and a pair of espadrille sandals, her hair piled atop her head in a calculatedly messy updo, holding hands with Kate and taking in the sights as she nibbles on some cotton candy ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:20:09

Zoë: Also, ain’t this a party? Why are you in your little Space Team uniform?

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:21:11

:: enters the holodeck wearing a simple blue floral sundress, by Navarro’s side with her arm wrapped around his. She smiles, taking in the scene ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:21:25

:: squeezes Lexy's hand :: I patterned the program after rural Oregon!

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:21:49

:: looks down at self, looks around and spots the captain and CSO who aren’t in uniform, becomes a living vessel of anxiety :: Oh for fuck’s sake. I’m That Nerd.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:22:07

:: grins at Kate :: It feels like home!

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:22:44

:: returns the grin :: I am glad. Do you want to ride something?

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:23:02

Zoë: Not too late to go back and change.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:23:16

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:24:04

:: sighs, lets out a short exasperated growl :: Hannah: Alright, come on. :: turns to go ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:24:09

:: looks around at all the rides, trying to decide what's first as she idly scratches at the flowers in her hair ::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:24:23

:: trots down a flattened-grass lane between the Whirly-Fun and Space-Coaster rides, smiling at everything and everyone and not wearing anything at all ::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:24:42

Emily: Hey, nice scene this year, isn't it? :: looks around, taking it in ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:24:59

Zoë: Nah, you catch up. I’ll hang here. :: before Zoë can respond :: And I won’t get punched in the head.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 16-Jun-2021 21:25:03

:: is being dragged from booth to booth by Taril, in uniform because what else would she wear? However, she is getting the distinct sense that this is more of a... casual event. Her train of thought is interrupted by Taril running off in another direction entirely, forcing her to follow ::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:25:04

:: tugs Navarro along towards the rides, cheerfully pointing out which ones look interesting :: Doc: Oh, we have to try some of these!

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:25:22

::Steps onto the holodeck, and wanders through; wearing a resplendent almost regal looking robe, with the head of his cane glowing a soothing violet colour.::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:25:40

:: chuckles as they pass one that is pretending to be fighter planes ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:25:49

:: looks around for perhaps a map of the rides and attractions ::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:26:01

:: narrows eyes :: Hannah: I’ll hold you to that. If I come back here and Captain Grey’s turning your face into hamburger, I’m not helping you.

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:26:32

:: straps in for one of the rides, a small roller coaster. She takes a deep breath, determined not to scream ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:26:39

<Amber Sun> ::Bounds about following behind Ilaihr; before launching head first into some hay.:: Ilaihr: The grass is yeeeelllooooowwww!

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:26:50

Kate: Wanna play this shooty game?

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:26:50

:: sprints back to her quarters ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:27:20

:: points helpfully at the shooty game ::

CTO Cpt Grey 16-Jun-2021 21:27:20

:: is wearing a pale blue sundress with darker blue embroidery, strolling about with Ethan contentedly ::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:27:56

:: settles in next to Emily, pretty sure that this will be tame ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:27:59

Lexy: Oh, sure! I bet you are pretty good at it, too.

:: thinking back to finding out that Lexy's a surprisingly good shot some years ago ::

Velina Tailor 16-Jun-2021 21:28:44

::is busy staring in awe at the giant rides that launch you 50 feet into the air, not looking in front of her as she nearly trips over a group of people crowded around a funnel cake booth::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:29:00

:: gives Kate a sly grin and approaches the booth, giving one of her tokens to the woman behind the counter :: I'd like to try, please.

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:29:12

:: hands in pockets, strolls down the main path, past the carnival games ::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:29:33

:: puts her arms in the air for the few intense moments of the ride, enjoying the forces. She grins at Navarro as they get off :: Doc: Your turn. What’s next?

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:29:42

:: stands to her side to watch, wondering if Lexy's gonna win her a prize ::

MED LtJG Jasper 16-Jun-2021 21:29:54

:: spots Hannah through the crowd, and breaks away from Ryleigh to stalk towards Hannah :: Hannah: Ziredac!

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:30:03

:: wanders into the holodeck ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:30:04

Barker> :: holds up a crudely-sewn bean bag in front of a wall of balloons :: Every popped balloon wins a prize!

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:30:05

Amber Sun: Its called hay, my dear boy.

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:30:26

:: manages to find a large map/sign and looks at it, squinting. ooh, a 360 looping coaster! ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:30:27

:: picks up the rifle and inspects it, looking at the moving targets ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:30:47

:: turns at her name, surprised it’s coming from someone she doesn’t know :: Jasper: Hey, what’s good?

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:31:18

:: cracks his back :: Emily: Well, what about that one? :: points to a spinning teacup ride ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:31:22

Ilaihr: Its... spikey! ::Crawls deeper into the bale, and starts spinning on the spot.:: It get scratch, good!

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:31:33

:: looks up at the prizes and sees a cute stuffed unicorn :: Barker: What do I need to hit to win that? :: points at it ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:31:55

:: looks at the rides, looks at the booths ::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:31:58

:: stops along one lane, watching a car loop in the air along its rails on a ride she doesn't know the name of in the distance, hearing the riders' screams from where she is ::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:32:04

:: changes into a pair of black denim shorts and a black-on-white T-shirt for the band Rock Slope, bounds back out of her quarters toward the turbolift ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:32:07

Barker> Well, miss, you need to hit these targets right here. :: points them out ::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:32:14

:: follows along, heading for the teacups with a smile :: Doc: Oh, my older sister loves the teacups.

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:33:09

:: chuckles and eyes the concessions as they approach the teacups, thinking that they're poorly placed near a ride famous for inducing nausea ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:33:36

:: smiles and takes aim, missing her first shot but hitting with the second two ::

MED LtJG Jasper 16-Jun-2021 21:33:48

:: slows to a stop in front of Hannah, expression dangerous :: Hannah: I heard you took lip with my wife on the bridge. Might I remind you that she is a Marine Captain for more reasons than her own determination. Don't repeat your actions. Again. Enjoy the party. :: turns to rejoin Ryleigh, who was looking at a booth intently ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:33:49

:: cheers at the hits ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:34:12

::Chuckles.:: Amber Sun: Perhaps you should enjoy some of the rides, and festivities, my boy. ::Nods to deeper into fete, at all the lights and sounds.::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:34:15

:: blushes sheepishly :: Kate: That was a practice run. :: slides another token to the barker and tries again, this time hitting all three targets ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:34:18

:: spots the ridiculously tall Vulcan in the crowd and make a beeline to her :: T'Lira: Ahh! T'Lira! and Taril! Hello!

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:34:45

:: cheers again, louder this time! ::

CAG LCdr T’Lira 16-Jun-2021 21:35:05

:: is distinctly wondering just how many booths and activities there are here, as Taril is continuously finding new ones, so she gives him directions to stay put while she attempts to find some sort of directory, but is sidetracked by the sudden greeting :: Rike: Greetings.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:35:28

Barker> The lady wins the prize! :: pulls down the stuffed unicorn and presents it to Lexy ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:35:37

:: instead of holding back a smartass remark, she holds back laughter :: :: shrugs, turns to the Barker :: Alright, dude, let’s see those beanbags.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:35:48

:: beams with pleasure, accepting the unicorn and turning to present it to Kate ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:36:00

<Amber Sun> Ilaihr: Eduda, follow? ::Grins a toothy grin.::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:36:06

:: sees Hannah, moves the other way ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:36:10

:: beams as she accepts the unicorn :: Lexy: Thank you! I love it! :: squeezes it, causing its eyes to bulge ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:36:33

T'Lira: How are you tonight? Not getting up to trouble, eh? :: fully aware the answer is going to be a blank faced no ::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:36:48

:: gets on the teacups and spins her hardest, having a grand time ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:36:53

Amber Sun: I will be right behind you. ::Smiles to the bear.::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:36:54

:: gets back to the holodeck arch out of breath, enters ::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:37:04

:: whirls around the teacups with Emily ::

CAG LCdr T’Lira 16-Jun-2021 21:37:05

:: the eyebrow goes up :: Rike: Not at present.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:37:06

:: grabs some cotton candy ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:37:32

:: takes her cotton candy back from Kate and looks around, munching ::

Velina Tailor 16-Jun-2021 21:37:37

::stops, considering what kind of funnel cake to get:: Self: Raspberry chocolate... chili lime... Mango with white chocolate... Blue pop rocks... No idea. ::just randomly picks one, and wanders towards the games booths::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:37:42

:: thinks on whether she would enjoy a ride that pulls her through the air on a circuit, then decides to decline as she would find it much more restricting than actually flying, then looks around at the stalls nearby. The nearest one has rods floating on weighted discs in water, a messy pile of rings lying on the counter. She walks up and asks to play ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:37:47

:: may have eaten a bit of the cotton candy ::

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:38:03

:: may have politely declined to notice this ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:38:06

:: watches everyone, smirks ::

:: feels slightly lonely ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:38:25

Taril: Well how aboutcha?

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:38:34

:: steps up to another game, this time involving tossing rings ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:38:48

Barker> :: hands over beanbags :: All four balloons gets the top row of prizes. No leaning over the barrier, no baseball pitches. Good luck! :: Hannah throws; two hits, two misses :: Barker> Alright, that’s this row of prizes here. Which one would you like?

CTO Cpt Grey 16-Jun-2021 21:39:04

:: shakes her head at her husband's return, taking his hand and leading him towards the food booths ::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:39:06

:: teeters back and forth when the ride is over, her equilibrium still spinning :: Doc: How about some cotton candy? It’s a classic.

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:39:29

:: picks up one ring at a time, tossing it towards the rods, but misses capturing a rod with her ring every time. She should have known she wouldn't be good at this, her hand-eye coordination never being great, and grumbles walking away, looking for something else ::

Taril 16-Jun-2021 21:39:30

:: thinks about his answer for a moment before grinning :: Rike: Not as much as usual, but there's still time!

CAG LCdr T’Lira 16-Jun-2021 21:39:44

:: the eyebrow goes further up ::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:39:49

:: finds Hannah at the beanbag/balloon thing :: Hannah: Hey.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:40:10

:: follows Kate, somehow making headway against the wad of pink cotton candy the size of her head ::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:40:17

Emily: Definitely. Oh, and there's a drink stand right here too.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:40:21

:: sees a ride that looks enticing ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:40:31

Taril: Yknow... I was just thinking of heading to the 360 looping coaster and then the bumper cars. :: glances to T'Lira ::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:40:44

:: walks down a lane, approaching Ammora to one side and smiles at him ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:41:04

:: looks at Kuari ::

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:41:05

:: presents a token and starts tossing rings, missing a few before dialing it in ::

Ilaihr 16-Jun-2021 21:41:06

<Amber Sun> ::Gallops off into the fair, running passed Rike and T'lira like a bullet.::

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:41:14

:: steps up and orders a pink cotton candy and a fruity soda, turning to Doc for his order ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:41:15

XO: Commander. :: nods ::

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:41:28

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:41:36

Zoë: Hey. Look at you, all punky with your little band shirt and black denim. Barker: Uh, that one. The fuzzy black cat. Yeah, perfect. :: takes the cat, hands it over to Zoë :: Zoë: Y’like cats?

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:41:53

TAC: Having fun, Mr. Ammora? :: politely asks, not knowing him well and her executive-officer kicking in ::

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:42:00

Ahhhh, one of those giant pretzels, por favor.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:42:18

XO: It's a good time for all.

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:42:30

:: doesn't win, but she wrote the damn program and has it dialed in, and presents another token ::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:42:32

:: takes the cat :: Hannah: For me?

CAG LCdr T’Lira 16-Jun-2021 21:42:36

:: simply steps a bit to the side as Amber Sun goes past :: Rike: I am not one for... games such as those, but I shall observe.

Velina Tailor 16-Jun-2021 21:43:05

::tears off a bite of funnel cake and experimentally touches her tongue into the pop rocks coating:: Self: Oh! ::startles a bit as they tickle her toungue::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:43:08

:: nods :: TAC: I hope so, that's the idea! What you doing?

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:43:18

:: stands to the side, watching Kate play this game of skill ::

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:43:23

Like I’m gonna win a stuffed cat for myself. C’mon, let’s hit a ride before we get an appetite. You didn’t eat recently, did you?

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:43:28

:: tosses ten rings and lands all of them! ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:43:43

XO: I have no clue.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:43:46

:: claps excitedly :: Kate: Yaaay!

Emily Acacia 16-Jun-2021 21:43:47

:: wanders away with her food, looking around :: Doc: This is quite the party. Reminds me of the fairs in Iowa.

Rike Herschel 16-Jun-2021 21:44:05

Taril: Well... if your mom is ok with it, maybe we could do some rides together?

CEO LtJG D’bryn 16-Jun-2021 21:44:05

Hannah: Oh, you mean that thing I always forget to do? No, I’m empty. Nothin to spew.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:44:08

XO: I don't have a ... group... so to speak.

Kate Harper 16-Jun-2021 21:44:15

:: grins and scans the list of prizes, then points out a stuffed dinosaur, which the barker pulls down and hands over ::

:: presents the dinosaur to Lexy with as much pride as a hunter bringing home a kill ::

XO Cdr Kuari 16-Jun-2021 21:44:42

TAC: Me neither, but it's fun being here at least, lots to look at. :: finds her gaze lingering on a big sign claiming to have "elephant ears" and frowns, curious ::

Taril 16-Jun-2021 21:44:44

Rike: That sounds awesome!

Hannah Ziredac 16-Jun-2021 21:46:34

Perfect. Let’s do the Gravitron. :: spots Ammora and the XO :: TAC: Hey Ammora, we’re gonna hit the Gravitron. You down?

Doc Navarro 16-Jun-2021 21:46:37

Emily: Yes, it is! Not much like the local parties back home, but the spirit is the same.

Lexy Wright 16-Jun-2021 21:46:37

:: hands her cotton candy to Kate again as she attempts to fit the dinosaur plushie into her side pouch so he can ride in style ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 16-Jun-2021 21:47:00
