NAV2: Ah! I extend you an invite to my quarters for a plant tour when we return to Atlantis!
NAV2 Cpt Suzuki 20-Oct-2021 22:39:42
:: is oddly pleased by this :: Rike: I would like that.
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:40:03
:: chuckles as he goes in search of something to drink ::
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:40:09
:: smiles faintly :: Mom: I still have the orchids you gave me when I shipped out. Actually managed to keep them alive!
Janessa Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:40:20
Emily: Oh? I’m impressed.
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 22:40:42
Lexy: I hate it, too. I do everything I can to avoid it.
Rike Herschel 20-Oct-2021 22:41:01
:: if she didnt have food and booze occupying her hands she would otherwise clasp them together :: NAV2: Lovely!
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:41:55
Amylla: Sounds like a fun time while it lasted, right?
Rike Herschel 20-Oct-2021 22:41:55
Oh! NAV2: Do you know if T'Lira enjoys any particular plants?
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:42:21
:: gets herself another drink, remaining planted at the table with her sister and friends while her mother paced the floor entertaining ::
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:42:23
:: returns with a couple of German beers, hands one to Jester ::
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:42:26
:: has had enough of the cheese and sniffs at Navarro's offerings, but doesn't sample any and looks at those around her, deciding where to wander ::
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:42:47
:: sees Kuari sniffing at the Spanish food :: XO: Try the chili chocolate!
Amylla Isaev 20-Oct-2021 22:43:09
:: shrugs :: Zoë: Couldn't sing, but could dance like crazy.
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:43:14
Navarro: The...what? :: looks back at the food ::
TAC 1Lt Ammora 20-Oct-2021 22:43:29
:: shouts at the Skylark :: HEY HANNAH!
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:43:46
:: takes a bite of her portion of chili chocolate on cue ::
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:43:52
:: gets back up and walks over, pointing out the spicy chocolate :: XO: This!
NAV2 Cpt Suzuki 20-Oct-2021 22:44:03
:: shakes her head :: Rike: I don't know much about Sehlat, I'm afraid. She's a very private person.
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:44:41
:: furrows her heavy eye ridges :: Navarro: I don't think I will like it, it smells spicy.
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:45:19
:: looks over :: XO: Not a fan of spicy?
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 22:45:51
:: sighs again :: Kate: I know you do. And you did everything you could to protect all those people. But they're still dead, you know?
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:45:54
:: nods, somewhat disappointed :: XO: It is, yes.
Rike: She seems to work a lot. I ran into her once in the assault bay in the middle of the night.
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:46:17
:: shakes her head at Acacia ::
:: checks Navarro's face :: I'm sure it's delicious though, if one can handle spice!
Janessa Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:47:13
:: quickly whips together a smoothie that mixes Betazese and Earth fruits, offering it to Kuari :: XO: Try this! It’s naturally sweet.
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 22:47:22
:: looks down into the water where her legs enter it, quiet for a long several seconds ::
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 22:47:47
Kate: And it could have been us, Kate.
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:47:59
:: grabs for the offered smoothie :: Janessa: Thank you! Although I've had quite a bit of the fruit already, a blend would taste good I bet!
Rike Herschel 20-Oct-2021 22:48:20
NAV2/Doc: Ah, dang. She seems like such an interesting person. I swear I'll crack those walls one at a time.
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 22:48:53
:: her voice wavers :: Lexy: I know.
Janessa Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:48:55
:: nods enthusiastically :: XO: You like fruit? We grow a good bit here.
NAV2 Cpt Suzuki 20-Oct-2021 22:49:05
Rike: Somehow, I would not be surprised if you actually managed to do it.
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:49:24
Skylark> Perimeter alert. Human male, Starfleet. Recorded audio determined to be addressing Hannah Ziredac.
Doc Navarro 20-Oct-2021 22:49:25
Rike: Good luck to you! :: raises his beer ::
Rike Herschel 20-Oct-2021 22:49:34
Doc/NAV2: Wouldn't be the first Vulcan I've cracked!
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 22:50:07
:: sighs :: Let me fucking guess. :: stands up, throws a robe on, opens the hatch, leans out, sees Scott ::
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:50:11
:: tips the smoothie carefully into her mouth and smiles :: Janessa: I do. Very good!
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 22:50:18
TAC: What's up, Ammora?
TAC 1Lt Ammora 20-Oct-2021 22:50:36
Hannah: I heard you singing!
Janessa Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:51:01
:: seems quite pleased :: XO: Good! I hope you enjoy.
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 22:51:15
TAC: Are you some kind of dog? How the hell'd you hear me through the hull?
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:51:22
:: raises her beer as well :: Rike: I hope you manage it.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 20-Oct-2021 22:51:44
Hannah: Perfect pitch resonates. :: shrugs ::
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 22:52:41
Kate: I know you're not ready to retire yet, Kate, as much as you're trying to convince me otherwise.
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 22:52:47
:: scrunches face :: TAC: You need somethin? I'm hungover like fuck, and the lights out here are literally ending my life.
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 22:53:06
Kate: And I made a promise to stay with you and support you, so I'm going to fucking do that.
Kate: But you know how I feel. And one day, when you're ready, we can leave this life behind.
Amylla Isaev 20-Oct-2021 22:55:17
Zoë: Well, it was okay time. Sauëdeyan, why don't you put down the hydrospanner, and we can go have some food? Maybe a drink too. I don't think you and I've had a proper drink together.
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:55:35
Amylla: Yeah, we can hit the forward lounge, and—
Emily Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:55:41
:: looks around at the party as she picks at her food, considering this night a success ::
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 22:55:42
:: takes a deep breath and blinks at the moisture in her eyes, then looks from the water back to her wife :: Lexy: I would though, you know that... right? I mean it. I might not be ready, but how many times do I need to almost die before I get to be done?
Amylla Isaev 20-Oct-2021 22:56:01
Zoë: No, let's go to surface. Get some sunshine. Fresh atmosphere.
Rike Herschel 20-Oct-2021 22:56:07
:: lifts her own drink :: Aye!
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:56:08
Amylla: I...I can't.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 20-Oct-2021 22:56:11
Hannah: You know what's good for a hangover? Appetizers and a bloody mary at Troyo's. San Francisco's best breakfast place.
Janessa Acacia 20-Oct-2021 22:56:16
:: finally sits down at the table to eat something as everyone else has been served ::
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 22:56:26
Kate: You say that, but you would hate retirement. And you would resent me for making you do it.
Amylla Isaev 20-Oct-2021 22:56:35
Zoë: Why can't? You have better place to be?
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:57:06
Amylla: No, it's... Look, I can't explain. Just trust me, please, Mama? I can't leave the ship. I'm not in trouble, I'm fine, but... I just can't.
Amylla Isaev 20-Oct-2021 22:57:52
:: shrugs :: Zoë: No skin off my ass. Is what they make holodeck for, anyway. Pretend sunshine, then?
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 22:58:17
Lexy: Maybe at first. But I would get over it, when we are knee-deep in whatever our next adventure might be.
XO Cdr Kuari 20-Oct-2021 22:58:18
:: enjoys mingling with those she knows and those she doesn't yet in the fresh Earth country air ::
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 22:58:45
:: stomach lurches :: Hair of the dog ain't workin for this one, buddy. And I gotta stay onboard, anyway.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 20-Oct-2021 22:59:29
Hannah: I play piano! Wanna sing?
CEO LtJG D’bryn 20-Oct-2021 22:59:51
Amylla: Pretend sunshine sounds great, Mama. :: walks with Amylla toward the turbolift ::
Hannah Ziredac 20-Oct-2021 23:00:17
TAC: Where other sentient beings can hear me? :: shivers ::
Lexy Wright 20-Oct-2021 23:00:39
Kate: Don't do that. Don't tempt me, Kitty.
Kate Harper 20-Oct-2021 23:00:49
