[9:22][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The normal theme music is replaced by spooky music as the camera follows a dimly lit corridor on the Citadel
[9:23][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Eventually the camer arrives at an ornate entry way to a ballroom that no one remembers ever being there before
[9:25][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:people are filing into the room past a small contingent of Avynei and Travynei that are greeting people as they come in
[9:29][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:inside there is already a pretty decent crowd, various species from around the LMC, a few Avyney, Travynei, and some Milkey way species mingling around
[9:30][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:In the ceter is a grand table layed out with foods from a variety of cultures
[9:31][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:There is a group of Beryxians dressed in what seems to be Travynei themed clothing
[9:32][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:This is the scene that awaits you as you enter the room. The music is playing, the smell of delicious food is in the air and the bar is open what moer could you ask for
[9:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Wow, this is great. i can't ait to get my grub on.
[9:34][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*campbell arrived in shinign gold power armor a skull and eagle wings embossing the center of it with red cloth regailing
[9:34][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek walked in, dressed as Darth Vader, cloak flapping behind him, the heavy breathing coming from the mask and a toy lightsaber on his belt.
[9:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru walks in, takes a look around and turns around immediatly regretting her choice almost walking directly into Peebles as she does.* "Sorry, ma'am.
[9:34][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--As you enter an Avynei woman greets you.-- "Tevaqr'ne, I am J'Zari.
[9:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hello, *deep vader breath* "I am Telek." *Deep breath.* "Fuck, this is uncomfortable." *He pulled the mask off.* "Hello.
[9:35][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*he smiles* Greetings
[9:36][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*A blue maiden was already at the bar. Her hair was adorned with alien shells and fish bones, her clothing tight, turquoise-blue and leaving little to the imagination. She was barefooted and on..
[9:36][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:occasion her skin appeared to ripple as if the surface of water on a windy day.
[9:36][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:--the greeting party consists of the Aynei woman, who some may recognize from the temple. There is also a Travynei woman whsilently nods to the guests
[9:36][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Behind them is a Travynei male you recognize as Nick
[9:36][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He walked further in, giving Nick a friendly wave.
[9:37][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*Campbell headed through holstering the fake weapon on his hip
[9:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "thanks for the invite." --she said headed for the bar-
[9:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He then noticed Lili.* "Let me guess, you sing to sailors and drag them into the deep?
[9:38][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*Conor found some finger food
[9:39][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She looked to Telek with a twist of a smirk.* "That's one of the legends. We also save sailors who are pure of heart.
[9:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He got himself a beer, then pressed a few buttons on the gauntlet, the front of his Darth Vader breastplate extending a cupholder out, and he put the beer in there... and then connected a straw to
[9:39][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Holohank] "What can i get people to drink?
[9:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*his mask, putting the mask back on, now able to drink beer -and- have the mask on.
[9:39][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Scotch would be nice.
[9:40][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[holohank] "Coming right up.
[9:40][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I already *deep breath* have a beer, thank you." *He then turned to Lili.* "Well, I guess I am *deep breath* shit out of luck, I am a bad guy.
[9:40][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Pity, it doesn't look like you have much of a heart to eat, though." *She eyed the armor.
[9:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Benefits of the suit." *Deep breath.* "I like the golden cyborg knight thing Campbell's got going.
[9:41][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"I will probably avoid in character statements.
[9:42][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:{Maggie] "We have similar legends on Earth. Sirens luring unsuspecting sailors to their doom.
[9:42][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Humans are a wee bit xenophobic in this material, though everything else wants to kill them so it sorta fits.
[9:42][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Which of our species" *Deep breath* "Isn't a wee bit xenophobic?
[9:42][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Oh this universe turns that up to 11.
[9:42][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Even talking to an alien without killing it is considered heresy.
[9:43][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"The kala-zhai do have some similarities to sirens and water nymphs. I suppose it's just a given when any species becomes nautically inclined.
[9:43][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Knowing humans I'm surprised they went.." *Deep breath* "That route and not the sex all the aliens route.
[9:44][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"There are other stories for that.
[9:44][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Ironically it was a Vulcan who turned me onto the stuff in the academy.
[9:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean, hell. Our little training group has..." *Deep breath* "Two human half-breeds.
[9:44][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Mainly for the tactical battle practice.
[9:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "To be fair the warnings are an attempt to preempt the 'sex all the aliens' route. Because there are some real risks there.
[9:44][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She smirked.
[9:45][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru comes back in, deciding that culture shock be damned, she was going to try to enjoy herself... making a beeline to the bar, pausing only to blink in shock at Old Nick's presence
[9:45][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"As if that's ever stopped humanity." *He then nodded to Campbell.* "Adama has quite a few of those figurines.
[9:45][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Or Tanausans.
[9:45][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Never really managed to..." *Deep breath* "Get into them.
[9:45][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Aye, we'll have to set up some game son a holotable.
[9:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --gives Dru a wink-
[9:45][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Can be rather fun.
[9:45][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled at Lili.* "Or cardassians... Hell, Dukat had..." *Deep breath* "relations with a bajoran.
[9:46][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Of course if you fall to heresy and embrash slaneesh the choas god of pleasure and depravity... i guess it fits.
[9:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I kind of like the funny mushroom guys Adama once told me about.
[9:46][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Orks.
[9:46][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"They literally will their technology to work with believe
[9:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She nodded.* "For all our talk of purity sex with other species was always one of our greatest vices. It was only when it resulted in pregnancy that it was considered taboo.
[9:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded his helmeted head to Dru.
[9:47][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Can turn a supply crate into a warp drive.
[9:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Never ask the most racist cardassian what race his girlfriend is...
[9:47][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"But labeling it as such.
[9:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He hummed at Campbell.* "Doesn't the LMC kind of work that way? I've heard stories about the power of faith in here.
[9:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She sipped her Dyrellian sour.
[9:48][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"I've heard some aye but i think that was more metaphysics.
[9:48][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*A loud slurp was heard as Telek slurped on the beer on his chest armor's cupholder through a straw going into his darth vader mask.
[9:48][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*he sippe dhis scotch
[9:49][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Vodka" *she requests of the bartender, taking it and downing it when receieved.* "And another.
[9:49][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "From what i understand religion here is a pretty powerful force.
[9:49][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean, considering some of their deities have been proven to be very real, I can only guess so.
[9:49][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I know that... Anakin Skywalker isnt it?" *She asked Telek
[9:50][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"It's a folly to consider the noncorporeals here to be deities. They are powerful, yes, but they are by no means gods.
[9:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Dru.* "Yes. One of the first pieces of Earth Media I ever saw.
[9:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] --nods-
[9:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I don't know. That kind of talk sounds like someone begging for a smiting.
[9:50][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"And many of them bleed." *She drank.
[9:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"If I was an all-powerful non-corporeal I'd spill your drink or something for saying that.
[9:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ma enjoyed it. One of the great morality plays of Earth.
[9:51][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Rumors are alot of them are gone too.
[9:51][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Atleast the big ones.
[9:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Morality plays... I never really saw it as one.
[9:51][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"The Dark Goddess hasn't been heard from since before most of us were even born. And her ilk... if they remain, they are silent.
[9:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I liked the funny teddy bears slaughtering the imperial forces.
[9:52][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I never saw the pictures, only the recreations, the holographic versions where you play one of the characters.
[9:52][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He shrugged to Lili.* "I try not to concern myself with gods and godesses if they don't concern themselves with me. I do my thing, they do theirs.
[9:52][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"That is probably for the best.
[9:53][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"There is only one true god anyway." *She takes the new drink slower.
[9:53][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hmm. I never actually played a holo of it. But that would be fun, getting to swing a lightsaber around.
[9:53][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Oh you need to.
[9:53][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave a derisive huff of a laugh and drank again.
[9:53][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"ITs rather fun.
[9:54][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"I suggest one that follows a secret apprentice to the character you are playing it really plays into the power fantasy.
[9:54][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Mmm. I think I'd prefer a pilot power fantasy.
[9:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] --glances over at the horn heads-- "i wonder why they suddenly decided to throw a party. Must be lonely now that all their peeps have left.
[9:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Probably. Or it may have some religious connotation to them we don't know of.
[9:55][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I sincerely doubt most of them are actually Travynei or Avynei. Holographic costumes do wonders.
[9:55][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Lets ask them.
[9:55][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Apprentice... never played that one. Those were locked when I did them
[9:56][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*he headed over to one of the avynei priestess
[9:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Wouldn't that be kind of rude?" "Hey, hello, nice party, but why?
[9:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "...wow when they said they wanted to invite us over for dinner...i hope we didn't misinterprete that.
[9:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He shrugged and followed campbell.
[9:56][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"We'll feign that we're already drunk if they get offended." *She followed.
[9:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I have a literal cupholder on my chest, I cannot be held accountable for my words.
[9:56][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Hello." *he greeted her* "Is there a traditional greeting we should use for this event?
[9:57][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Stepping over, but keeping her distance so as to not get too close, she observes
[9:57][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to the priestess.* "I think we were told... Tevaqrne..." *He tried his best without butchering it.
[9:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] --turns and looks at the group as they approach-
[9:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*A tiny, bright orange crustacean crawled out from under her hair and scurries down into her bra.
[9:58][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Uh. Liliath? You got something in your... you know.
[9:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'zari] "i do love your outfits.
[9:58][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"We hope we were interpreting the invitation correctly.
[9:59][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"I'm Ensign Conor Campbell.
[9:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "How are you interpreting the invitations?
[10:00][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"That it was a party?
[10:00][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I hope so, otherwise I'd look very stupid right now...
[10:00][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'zari] "of course it is a celebration. What else would it be?
[10:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, we were wondering, is there some meaning behind the party? I know in Earth folklore, Halloween is something about the veil between life and death growing thin and spirits wandering the earth
[10:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"For a night?
[10:02][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She just winked at Darth Telek and then looked to J'zari.
[10:03][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "i understand. I shall attempt to explain it to you.
[10:04][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "in ancient epochs when our people still roamed the cradle of our world, we lived in harmony with the planet's rythems.
[10:05][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Her brows rose slightly and she popped the straw for her drink into the side of her mouth for a sip.
[10:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "Celebrating a grand fall harvest festival. This was a time of joy and abundance where the harvests bounty was shared among all
[10:06][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded his head as he listened.
[10:07][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "of course as ages turned the festival underwent some profound changes.
[10:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...And now you distribute candy to costumed children who threaten you with egging your house?
[10:08][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[JZari] "The people began to reveire a mysterious dark goddess. A weaver of shadows.
[10:08][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She sucked on her teeth and just went quiet with that one.
[10:09][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Listens, her eyes shifting to Nick when the mention of weaver of shadows
[10:10][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Another crab, this one violently purple in color, climbed to one of the shells on top of her hair and began to wave his little claws around.
[10:10][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--J'Zari cants her head at Lilliath.-- "Under her influence the festival became a celebration of the shifting season. Particulaly the transdition from the light of summer to the darkness of winter.
[10:11][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "The the shadow festival was born, A time to celebrate the shortening of days and the lengthening of shadows.
[10:12][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek turned his helmet to marvel at the crab for a few moments, before turning back to J'zari.* "Is this the same dark goddess who... you know?
[10:12][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"We had a similiar festival while under her influence. No one dressed up, however... it was more dressing down, with, you know, the flaying sacrifices.
[10:12][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "Today it mostly endures as tradition. its a time of reflection and reverfence wheere we embrace the duality of light and dark, chaos and order. The eternal cycle of existence.
[10:13][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Charming.
[10:13][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"That is actually a really cool concept. Thank you for the explanation.
[10:14][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"And -flaying-? Bit much.
[10:14][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] --smiles at Lilliath-- "yes i know. None of it is anything like what our people expected when we recruited people to our faith so many eons ago.
[10:15][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"It was a revelation of the true self. A rejection of the falsity of chaos and appearance... and embrace of true, perfect order. Which, I suppose people who are dead are very orderly.
[10:16][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She nodded to J'zari.* "I wish I could say the same but alas, any who could verify it are long gone.
[10:16][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "oh yeah death is very orderly. Infact perfect order is a universe devoid of life.
[10:16][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thank you for sharing with us your celebration" *she lifts what is left of her drink to the hosts
[10:17][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"You know looking ath the comparitive religious courses i always thought the order of nothing was an awful like liek the disuniformity of perfect entropy... which is usually associated with choa
[10:17][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "You are welcome.
[10:17][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:in our mathametics.
[10:18][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I don't know. The idea that life is chaotic is very silly to me.
[10:18][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:Creation being random actually tracks with that
[10:19][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:Emergent life is a example of chaos.
[10:19][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"
[10:19][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Like, life is order. The flaying festival proves it, in a weird way. One's insides are a perfect engine.
[10:19][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, except humans who got that weird appendix thing.
[10:19][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Life is only order when we successfully impose our will upon it.
[10:19][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"But randomly assigned not ordained or created. Its why Creator beleif is common.
[10:20][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Wasn't there some conspiracy theory about all sentient life being seeded by a single progenitor species?
[10:20][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Even my Da's NeoCatholocism suggests that the diviintiy of creation is in the applicaiton of random generation and self correction over adaptation.
[10:20][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"all things according to a plan.
[10:20][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Not really a conspiracy theory anymore, studies on magna roma sort of proved the existence of the preservers.
[10:20][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] --smiles- and listens.-
[10:20][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"What is still beign debated is how much of it they actually did.
[10:21][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Huh. Well, I don't know. If sentient life was seeded, it's not exactly random. But then again, the question comes of how those preserver guys came about.
[10:21][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She took a deep pull on her straw until there was nothing left but ice in her glass.* "Our half-Etrynarian is more than enough proof of life seeding, I believe." *She turned and headed back to..
[10:21][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:the bar.
[10:21][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Aren't -all- of us proof of life seeding if you look at it that way?
[10:22][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She just sighed.
[10:22][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"life finds a way, even in darkness.
[10:23][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to the priestess and went back to the bar himself.
[10:24][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hank... refill, please.' *He unplugged the straw from his beer cup and took it out of the cup holder on his chest so it can be refilled.
[10:24][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "its a misconception that chaos is random. Its a gray area somewhere between random and predictable.
[10:24][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama just enters the party and headed straight towards the bar
[10:24][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"That's basically choas thoery in a nutshell we use it for a lto of temporal probablity analysis in several of our technologies
[10:25][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Especially the slipstream navigation sensors and the most recent version of the AHLRT systems.
[10:25][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*The purple crab sitting on top of the sea shells and fish bones adorning Lili's hair waved at Adama.
[10:25][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek is dressed as Darth Vader, more or less accurate except for a cupholder coming out of a compartment in his chest armor, and a straw making its way into his helmet.
[10:25][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"It always bothered me that they called that chaos theory, since the actual defenition of chaos in english at least is totally random.
[10:25][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Something strong please Hank. *he nodded in thanks* So I miss anything? *He tilted his head at the crab and slowly waved back
[10:25][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Adama, you'll like Campbell, he's dressed like one of your plastic army guys.
[10:26][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, we were just chatting to a priestess about the origins of the avynei-slash-travynei tradition that makes them celebrate around this time of year.
[10:26][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "One simply has to redefine their idea of the definition of chaos.
[10:27][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Or, what you are calling chaos should be retrastanslated to another word in the UT.
[10:27][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:(retranslated
[10:27][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Riveting.... Anything actually fun yet
[10:27][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"There is alcohol.
[10:27][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] -- lets out a groan and heads to the bar-- "i am gonna need a lot more alcohol for this one.
[10:28][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru gives Maggie a 'sorry' look
[10:28][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"No, it's kind of quiet.
[10:28][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --smiles at Dru-- "that might work too.
[10:28][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"What are you supposed to be, random guy on the street?
[10:28][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:I just came back from the range...didn't feel like dressing up..
[10:29][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I've always thought we rely on the UT too much, and that since no two organic languages are direct translations of each othere, we should not always assume it is right.
[10:29][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Her skin rippled gently as she acquired her next drink.
[10:30][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "Were there any other questions you had?
[10:30][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He shook his helmeted head disapprovingly at Adama and took his refill of beer, putting it in the cupholder, then putting the straw in it, loudly slurping the drink into his helmet.
[10:30][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Probably lots but i wouldn't want to be rude.
[10:30][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"We could always replicate him a set of kitty ears.
[10:30][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Fuck off. *he took a sip of his drink
[10:30][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She grinned wickedly.
[10:31][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*campbell dismissed himself to go mingle with other guests
[10:31][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Was there a reason those of you who remained, chose to? It seemed like from what I read a lot left.
[10:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A kitty tail too.
[10:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"One attached to a belt, of course, I wouldn't suggest any -other- type.
[10:31][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Paint on some little whiskers...
[10:32][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:I am shooting you two in the field...
[10:32][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"You heard it, Lieutenant." *She nodded at Peebs.
[10:32][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Reminder, nobody else will give you first aid but me, the others would leave you bleeding out.
[10:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "it was a choice. The vast majority left. I for one choose to stay to mind the temple.
[10:33][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Muhmuhmuh. *took a large gulp from his drink and motioned for another.
[10:34][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Don't mind him, he's just upset he's not the most exotic one around anymore.
[10:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Do you think it would be alright to visit you and your temple at some point? I am curious about ... all of it.
[10:35][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave Darth Telek an amused look.* "You're all fairly exotic for the LMC, you know.
[10:35][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[J'Zari] "oh that would be wonderful. Our doors are always open.
[10:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but technically, this -is- Starfleet, tanausans are a novelty here.
[10:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"There have been a couple of cardassians before, including the most perfect woman ever - Cassandra Ilya.
[10:36][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...Stars, tell me you weren't one of those weird kids watching Pilgrim and Friends reruns ten years after they went off the air.
[10:36][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thank you, and thank you again for the party." *she suddenly realized she was alone with, and excuses herself to return to the psychological safety of starfleet personnel company.
[10:36][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Listen, when you're off in a backwater cardassian world, you don't exactly get a -ton- of federation media.
[10:37][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru greets Adama on the way back to the bar* "Hello there, how are you?
[10:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] --looks at Talek-- "You might want to look around. This isn't Starfleet. We are the stangers here.
[10:37][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Amusing how an entirely different galaxy doesn't quite have that issue.
[10:37][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She drank.
[10:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, you gotta realize I was growing up in the growing years of the FCC. We were kind of finding our way still.
[10:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He shrugged to Maggie.* "This is dawn alliance turf, the Federation is part of the alliance.
[10:38][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Hey Dru, thirsty... *he looks dru up and down* So what are you supposed to be
[10:40][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*shrugs* "I should have something less intoxicating... I have never dressed for party like this before, I pulled up an old file from my family album and used a historical uniform my mother wore bac
[10:40][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:in her ensign days.
[10:40][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i never really thought of the horn heads...." ---she stops and looks around -- "i mean the Avynei and Travynei as having a culture..although when i was first on the Adagio they did invite..
[10:41][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She side-eyed Maggie.
[10:41][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:us all to some sort of celebration on one with their big ships. it was around this time..maybe it was the same holiday thing?
[10:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...That's... kind of a shitty thing to say, Ma'am.
[10:42][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Sorry...
[10:42][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Ah...good enough right? *He took a sip from his drink again* You good for the rest? Enjoying yourself
[10:42][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"The avynei have been around a lot longer than any of our species.
[10:42][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Well, actually, I don't kno about the tanausans, but I know that two million years ago we were still skittering up trees.
[10:43][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Two million years ago we had just entered our space exploration period.
[10:43][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"And then we stagnated.
[10:44][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Perfect order, right?" *She drank again.
[10:44][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Sort of, it is a little odd, the costumes. Some of them, like Liliath there, are beautifully fascinating, but.. I don't know if you noticed, Old Nick over there." *she moved to the bar requestin
[10:44][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:a virging mojito
[10:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "I didn't mean any disrespect. Talia always has a good relationship with them and we had a lot of dealings with them. But, they always seemed aloof and mysterious.
[10:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, aloof and mysterious is probably how all species tend to be after they become really advanced.
[10:45][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I imagine the Federation appears aloof and mysterious to all less-developed civilizations we encounter.
[10:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i suppose that is true.
[10:45][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*looks over to old Nick* Can't say I have...What about him? *Hearing her tone
[10:45][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean, we kind of have a rule about being aloof and mysterious, prime directive and all.
[10:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We can't just jump in and go "Hey, guys, have these phasers, they are super cool and can disintegrate a guy in no time at all.
[10:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"He, visited us on 220, when we were first investigating the portal pillars.
[10:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"non-traditionally.
[10:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Precisely. Do you imagine that the Avynei and Travynei do not have similar rules?
[10:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"They have assisted, certainly, but they have remained divorced from much of the conflicts the younger races find themselves in.
[10:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yupp. I still got no idea how that good vibes crystal we had on us in the portal network worked, but it kicked that shadow beast's ass much better than any phaser would.
[10:47][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:So? You think he is our babysitter or something? *sips his drink
[10:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "that is a really good question. The Ayynei and Travynei looks pretty chummy here tonight.
[10:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"The only difference between them was their decision to worship or oppose the Dark Goddess. Remove her from the equation, and I imagine they are beginning to mend.
[10:48][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"It's just, Nick... like, even if he isn't the Old Nick, seems to want to be seen that way... its a little unnerving.
[10:49][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well. You can still see traces of it. The travynei simply dress better.
[10:49][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah, he is probably board and wants to mess with us.
[10:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Or maybe he just wanted to go to a party his people are holding.
[10:50][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I thought of that, and I hope that's the case
[10:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i meant him showing up on Starbase 220. I imagine he has an invite to this shindig.
[10:50][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"In the Imperial Navy it was not uncommon for a Travynei to attach themselves to a ship or captain. It was considered a sign of the Dark Goddess' favor, even if they were occasionally... mischeivous
[10:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I mean, who wouldn't want to be with their own people at a traditional celebration.
[10:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"That's pretty cool. Having a guardian angel of sorts.
[10:51][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama sips again as he looks towards Nick* Want me to shoot him? *Adama side eyed Dru* I will gladly hurt for you. *his tone is a mixture of truth and jest
[10:51][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Could also just be in the neighbourhood
[10:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"oh.. no...
[10:52][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Our captains mostly had annoying obsidian order handlers.
[10:52][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"It's hardly a phenomenon restricted to the Imperium navy, however. Even in Starfleet we've seen examples of powerful entities following a crew or captain.
[10:52][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "it would make sense that the Travynei would do that. During the war he had similar aid from the non dark aligned factions.
[10:52][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Even in the texts.. THE Old Nick, never raised a hand to harm, but his mischief... led the people to harm themselves or others.
[10:53][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"We can't be our better selves without such adversity... it is just cause for caution.
[10:53][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I guess that's fair enough. Captain Picard and Q, for example.
[10:53][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i never met that Q guy, but i have heard he was a real pain in the rear.
[10:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Indeed. The Pilgrim briefly had the Kirtascan Protector, as well.
[10:54][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I honestly understand where he's coming from. When you are all powerful things have got to get boring enough for you to just find a random guy and decide to mess with him for no reason.
[10:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She drained her drink.* "Another Dyrellian sour, please, Hank.
[10:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --his voice comes from behind-- "Is someone messing with you? Just point them out and I will deal with them.
[10:55][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama downed the rest of his drink and motioned yet aain for a refill* I'll keep an eye on him for ya
[10:55][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Sipping her drink, she was just turning to find where Nick was in the room, and jumps, nearly spilling her drink.
[10:55][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Yes, this man came without a costume and I'm very offended by it," *she told Nick as she jerked a thumb at Adama.
[10:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Was that offer adressed to me, Nick?
[10:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled at Lili.* "Damn, -I- wanted to be the one to point him out.
[10:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "why yes lad, it was.
[10:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, yes, I think Adama needs a costume, he's making the whole group look bad.
[10:56][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Got to be quicker when you have a sneaky Tanny bastard around." *She smirked at Telek.
[10:57][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Mmm. If you are -that- quick, I'll just stop making an effort and have you do the work for me.
[10:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --gives a gentle wave toward Adama, who is now dressed as a clown.-
[10:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She squinted.* "Did you do anything? I can't see any difference.
[10:57][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Perfect. I owe you a bottle of good kanar next I get home, Nick."
[10:57][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Shudders slightly, taking a sip of her nada drink, and then wishing inside she had not decided to stop drinking for the evening.*
[10:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --chuckles-
[10:58][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He reached in to attempt to Honk Adama's nose.
[10:58][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama sees himself ina reflection* I am going to fucking kill you Telek. *tries to grab Telek's arm before he can honk
[10:59][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*His arm gets grabbed.* "I find your lack of honks... disturbing.
[10:59][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"That was unkind." *she frowns, but doesn't intercede further.
[10:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--A Travynei woman, the quiet one from the greeting party walks up behind Nick-- "Ny'k? What are you up to?
[11:00][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Anakin, don't force him to defend himself, on this, he has the high ground.
[11:00][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Honk your own. *Adama grabs towards his nose and hopes it will come loose
[11:00][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --turns and looks nervous.-- "Nothing Lithara, just being helpful.
[11:00][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I have the high ground, the helmet makes me taller.
[11:00][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I imagine he's been honking his own horn since he was about twelve." *She drank.
[11:00][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled as he turned to look at Nick being scolded.
[11:01][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We were just playing around, Miss. I asked Nick for help.
[11:01][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:{Lithara] "i see." --she looks at the group.-- "if Ny'k here is too...helpful let me know i will put him in his place.
[11:01][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Can you put him in a clown costume, too?
[11:02][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "that might be fun.
[11:02][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She toasted with her glass, and the purple crab basking on top of her head made a similar gesture with its claw.
[11:03][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i am being good, i swear.
[11:03][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled.* "I guess even when you are an incredibly powerful and advanced being, you still got a girlfriend pullign your strings...
[11:04][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "that is not my girlfriend...that is the representative of the matriarcy.
[11:04][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"My bad. Is the matriarchy your government of sorts?
[11:04][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I can always appreciate a good matriarchy.
[11:04][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama just death stared at Telek as he slowly backs away before shortly leaving
[11:05][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Of course -you- would.
[11:05][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He told Lili.
[11:05][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Matriarcy?
[11:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "of sorts, our civilization is ruled over mostly by the females of teh species.
[11:05][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"They tend to work out better than patriarchies... just saying." *She drank.
[11:05][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Some logic in it.
[11:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "Ny'k is this more of your down with the matriacrchy nonsense?
[11:06][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"So the men are what - soldiers, servants, sex objects?
[11:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Something like that, we live to serve...
[11:07][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ma'am, other than matriarcy, is your species also a meritocracy or is there some inherited position as well?
[11:07][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, I suppose that's not so bad. Getting to be a politician lady's sugar baby doesn't sound like a bad lot in life.
[11:08][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "a lot of inhereted positions of power. But, we have been forced to recosider a lot of the ways we do things recently.
[11:08][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*What appeared to be a two-headed serpent slithered out of her top and coiled fluidly around her left arm.
[11:09][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] --looks up from her mug of beer-- "Lilli is that real?
[11:09][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Fascinating, I tried looking things like that up, and did not find much.
[11:10][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I'm wearing a small holographic projector... makes the costume more realistic to the myth it's based off.
[11:10][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I doubt it is, but it's pretty cool. I love serpents.
[11:11][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "well its working, totally rockin' it."
[11:11][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She smiled.* "Thank you.
[11:12][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Why didn't you dress up, Lieutenant? You and Adama are the black sheep of the group so far.
[11:13][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i wasn't aware it was a costume party. the invite just said dinner and music.
[11:13][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"She is dressed up. She's a skeleton in disguise.
[11:14][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled at Lili's assertion.* "Man, I imagine getting the costume off must be a bitch then.
[11:14][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "a good sharp knife is all i need.
[11:14][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"And that's fair enough. I am pretty glad we managed to catch halloween o nthe citadel. It's a lot more colorful here.
[11:14][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Not if you attend a Tanausan harvest fest," *she winked.
[11:15][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"No offence, but I am -never- going to tanausan harvest fest, I don't want to become a wallet and a nice pair of boots.
[11:15][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I have a small holoprojector on my wrist. It's currently only set up for PADD fuctions, and a tribble holo, but your use of that is really inspired Liliath.
[11:15][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i am going to skip that one this year.
[11:16][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"You wouldn't be invited, anyway." *She smiled at Dru then.* "Thank you.
[11:17][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i am not sure whether to be insulted or thankful that i wouldn't be invited.
[11:17][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A little bit of both.
[11:17][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama returned back in his normal clothes and all cleaneed up* I am going to break your trombone spoon. *he nodded at Hank to get a new drink
[11:17][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ma'am" *she says to Lithara* "Are you a resident on the station or just visiting for the celebration?
[11:18][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"You break my trombone, I hide your army men. Or worse, I repaint them.
[11:18][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "We live here. Between the remaining Travynei and Avynei there are about ten of us.
[11:19][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Hmm... I think I knew someone who hired a woman to step all over his little army figurines in bare feet so he could pretend she was a giantess decimating his army.
[11:19][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...He was an odd guy.
[11:19][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I..." *Even with his helmet on, it was clear he did not know what to comment to Lili's comment.
[11:19][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:You wouldn't dare. *nodded in thanks as he received his new drink* .... *he looked at Lili
[11:20][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Why not just use a holodeck?
[11:20][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I am sorry I did not have an opportunity to meet more of you, but I do hope you will not be offended if I call upon you from time to time? A culture as old as yours, must have incredible tales.
[11:20][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I think the destruction of something he loved was part of the kink.
[11:20][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Not to kinkshame, but that's kind of fucked.
[11:20][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She drank more.
[11:20][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:.... *he slowly turned his head away and drank
[11:21][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I've known weirder.
[11:21][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru can't help but snort at Adama's comment
[11:21][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "For a long time my people isolated themselves and went to a lot of trouble to create this air of mystery. I am one that thinks that needs to change.
[11:21][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Whispered aside* I think that is the point
[11:22][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean, weirdest I've heard was a choking kink. But not like... being choked. Or even autoerotic. She was very particular about capturing it on camera. Not even selling it, or being naked. She'd
[11:22][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "So certainly we would selcome the visits.
[11:22][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"if you are willing, in my off time I would be thrilled to learn more ma'am.
[11:22][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Just choke herself in different gloves and film it for personal use.
[11:22][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She arched a brow at Telek.
[11:22][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "that was my point Lithara, getting to know the locals.
[11:23][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...Was she Kzari, by chance?
[11:23][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] --gives Nick a skeptical look-
[11:23][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"As a visitor to your galaxy, I mean only respect.
[11:23][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Kzari? Nah. Human, knew her in the academy.
[11:24][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"There are all sorts, I suppose...
[11:24][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Why, are kzari fucked-up like that?
[11:24][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*subtely pointing out she is not a local
[11:24][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Kzari have about as many issues as Tanausans do... they've just manifested ever so slightly differently.
[11:25][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Now I'm kind of curious...
[11:26][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She drained what was left of her glass.* "Just look up 'kzari kink' and thank me later.
[11:26][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru is showing a bit of a flush of color, trying desperately to stay out of a conversation about kink in a public space.
[11:26][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] --hands Dru a card that seems to come out of nowhere-- "My contact information. If you ahve trouble finding me. The Citadel is notoriously difficult to navigate when you wander into th

[11:27][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I once got DM'd by a girl in my physical therapy classes. Bajoran, of course. She asked if I was into prison camp roleplay.

[11:27][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Red flags bigger than a starship.
[11:28][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He then nodded to Adama.
[11:28][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...We're literally at a bar, are you some kind of repressed religious freak?
[11:28][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru gives up on not drinking, and orders a full strength mojito
[11:28][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Knew she was crazy. *shakes his head before sipping his drink
[11:29][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Litharaa] --turns to leave-- "it was a pleasure to meet you, i will leave you to enjoy the festivities.
[11:29][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thank you again.
[11:30][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] --raises a hand to try to get the bartender's attention-
[11:30][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Lithara] "Nick. Come along.

[11:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Bye, Nick. Have a good one.
[11:31][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She shrugged.* "Well I don't know about all of you, but I'm going to go sweat off some of that alcohol." *She headed over to the dance floor.
[11:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Lithara too.
[11:31][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "yes, you kids have a wonderful night.
[11:32][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek turned to Adama.* "I don't think for all the time I've known you, I've ever asked you, but she raised a good point. Are you actually religious?
[11:32][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah sure, dancing is good.
[11:33][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Hank give us a round of.... Bursali honeyrum shots. *He looks at Telek* I'm not the praying sort if that's your question
[11:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Eyes on Nick until he is far away, then turning back to the bar, she puts a hand on the bar and whispers, "Thank you for standing with me.
[11:34][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He removed his helmet once Adama ordered shots.
[11:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, you know me. All I believe in is myself and the people around me.
[11:35][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*The oceanic woman moved with a fluidic grace as she began to dance, the little purple crab on top of her head also doing a little dance.
[11:36][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "lilli, you should do the wave!." --laughs too much at her own stupid joke.-
[11:37][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I have to say, I am getting more and more impatient to continue with our training.
[11:37][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave Maggie an amused look, then lifted her arms up over her head in a 'wave.'
[11:37][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*he eyed Dru a moment* Well I believe in the goddess of my Etrynarian side, but not commited to praising her every day I live. *He slides one of the shots ever so closer to Dru
[11:37][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Yeah training... I just want to have our first mission
[11:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"You and me both.
[11:38][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama then picked up his shot and raised it in the air before tapping the bar with the glass followed by downing the shot
[11:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek picked up a shot of his own and downed it without Adama's pageantry.
[11:41][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:bring protection, gotta have a snake skin to protect yourself from that
[11:41][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:(mc
[11:42][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thanks, what is this? I've never had it." *she picks up the shot offered.
[11:42][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Beryxian... something something he called it.
[11:42][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Wasn't beryxians the ones with the nice ice cream?
[11:43][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Bursali honeyrum. Yes they are the ones with the breastmilk ice cream
[11:43][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*He chose the wrong moment to say that.. and part of her shot sprayed through holo hank
[11:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Breast milk? The lady selling it on level 3 didn't say anything about that!
[11:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Dude, there should be like... a warning or something!
[11:45][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:It's like erhm a known fact
[11:45][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A known fact for locals, maybe...
[11:45][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:I'm not local and I know
[11:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*clearing her throat* "Sorry Hank" *she tries to sip the rest of the shot
[11:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--Maggie realizes there was some important infomrationj she left out of the briefing.-
[11:46][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:You okay there Dru
[11:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Both your parents lived and worked here, you know more than I do...
[11:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Breast milk ice cream? I never heard of such thing.. Ma never said anything about it. In fact, she never talked about her time in the LMC with me at all.
[11:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*After getting in a bit of cardio on the dance floor, the shimmering blue woman returned to the bar, shaking out her hair with a grin.
[11:48][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"well, that is not quite true, she did tell me about Yanda, and really good surfing.
[11:49][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Gotta be so fucky being a yanda space explorer, considering most the races here are land-based.
[11:50][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ask a dolphin, they seem to like it.
[11:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Just having to walk the whole way instead of swimming, it probably feels like you're handicapped.
[11:50][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Try being an exchance officer put on a Yanda ship.
[11:50][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She ordered another Dyrellian sour.
[11:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Dolphins are different since they never actually walk..." *He then hummed at Lili's comment.* "That actually sounds like hell.
[11:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Good flavor on the shot choice by the way.
[11:53][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama nodded as he sipped his drink thinking of another flavour shot
[11:53][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I gotta say, Adama knows his booze. He may have missed his true calling as a ship's bartender.
[11:53][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Nice talking to you all, I think I'm going to take a walk... not explore the station, but.. there is so much of the public areas I haven't seen yet.
[11:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She nodded.* "Fare well, and remember to just ask Eirene if you get lost.
[11:54][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:See ya around Dru
[11:54][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thanks for the advice.
[11:55][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*waving she makes her way out of the party.
[11:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Good night!
[11:55][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Oh did I ever introduce you to a shot my father and mother came up with
[11:55][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She lifted a brow slightly.
[11:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Did they call it the Adama?
[11:56][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Nah I think I came as a result of that shot
[11:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"It's not called the Dead Tanny, is it?" *She smirked and sipped.
[11:57][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Always good to know you were the result of a drunken romp.
[11:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"It beats a state mandated romp.
[11:58][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Well, this got dark.
[11:58][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Hank mind if I join you back there? Team drunken free will! *takes a sip of his drink
[11:58][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:[Zombie Hank] "Braaaaaaains...." *He shuffled to the side.
[12:00][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama makes his way behind the bar and starts looking for the ingredients he needed* You know I think I did miss my true calling. father always spoke of starting his own bar. But he made me promise
[12:00][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:not to tell my mother
[12:01][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Why'd your mother say no to that? Owning a bar sounds awesome. Hell, it may be a good idea after retiring from starfleet.
[12:02][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:I don't know maybe he wanted to surprise her? I don't ask questions like that I am justr the footsoldier
[12:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, you and your father basically live in a matriarchy just like Nick, so I kind of get it.
[12:04][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Times as relaxed on Ilan minor, but spent most of my time on starships. *Adama pops back up and sets down 3 shot glasses.* Anyways we call this Etrynarian shuttle bomb
[12:04][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She looked at him with amusement.* "Any relation to an Irish car bomb?
[12:05][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"His father's irish, so that's probably parts of the inspiration.
[12:06][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama starts making a concoction of Irish whiskey, Etrynarian cider and strawberry-chocolate cream liqueur* Oh for sure! Also named in honour of one of my cousins
[12:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...Did they blow up a shuttle?
[12:08][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Wrecked the first 3 shuttles he flew in.... Flies in fighters now... *he sets the shots infront of them
[12:08][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Starfleet -let- him fly fighters?
[12:08][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I pray we don't end up in a war anytime soon if that's our pilots...
[12:09][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She thought for a moment.* "...Wait, Lieutenant Commander Coreis?
[12:10][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Yeah cousin Cori yeah
[12:10][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...The three-shuttle-crashes-guy made it to lieutenant commander?
[12:11][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"He gave a demonstration at the Andorian academy once." *She nodded to Telek.* "He said three shuttle crashes is basically hazing to become a real pilot, I believe.
[12:11][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"All of a sudden I am -really- happy I am stationed on a station.
[12:12][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Mm, obelisks feeling suddenly safer?
[12:12][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled mirthfully and nodded.* "Much.
[12:13][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"So do we drop these shots in ale or something?
[12:14][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Nah you just take it.... *was about to take his shot before realising8 Oh no wait there was one final thing to do
[12:14][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Set it on fire?
[12:16][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*The crab on her head squinted menacingly at Adama.
[12:17][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama disappears again to shortly return with a small dish of blueberries* You crush the blueberry. *instintively looked slightly too long towards Lili before continuing* Drop 'em in and down the
[12:17][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:shot before downing the rest of your normal drink
[12:18][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Of course." *He laughed and took the blueberry, crushing it in his hands.* "No offence.
[12:18][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He dropped a few crushed blueberriesi n his shot and drank.
[12:18][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Her brows rose and a little smirk touched her lips.* "Whyever would squeezing fruit cause offense?" *She asked innocently as she plucked a blueberry for herself to follow suit.
[12:19][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*He crushes the blueberry and drops it into the shot* Well try it out. *Does the whole caboodle
[12:19][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Not bad at all, actually. I still prefer straight drinks, but not bad at all.
[12:20][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean it, you definitely missed your calling behind a bar counter.
[12:20][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Anu iksa." *She drank.
[12:21][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Yeah I guess the alcholism I inherited has some noble purpose
[12:22][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Better than inheriting a spoon and a desire to cut people open.
[12:22][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:*Adama gets everyone their drink again before heading back to the correct side of the bar* The cutting people I also have
[12:22][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She swallowed with a smirk.* "Quite nice. And is that why you became a doctor?
[12:23][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yours is not cutting, it's more slashing and stabbing. Much less refined and cultured." *He then smirked at Lili.* "Can't let all those genetic talents go to waste.
[12:24][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She smiled sweetly.* "Why do you think I joined Starfleet?
[12:24][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Can't be a desire to boss the lesser species around." *He laughed.
[12:25][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I come from families with heavy Imperium navy ties. My grand---" *She seemed to think better of it and just said,* "And the Imperium Navy no longer exists.
[12:26][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"So you may as well get some of the benefit, no?
[12:27][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded, not prodding.* "Absolutely. Still... if things with our current job go well, we won't even be Navy or Starfleet, but something entirely new. Kind of exciting to think about.
[12:28][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Well, something so old that it's become new again, anyway." *She winked.
[12:29][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Good enough for me!" *He chuckled.* "Gotta figure out a story to tell my parents that doesn't make me sound like a colossal fuck-up though.
[12:29][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I'm still in training despite graduating sounds kind of lame.
[12:30][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"The perks of being an orphan that no one wants to tell you about," *she chuckled.
[12:30][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:....You are one though... *calmly sips* Just say you're specialising in a new branch of medicine yet to be confirmed or something
[12:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I mean... if I am a collossal fuck-up, you are one too, we are in the exact same boat, smart-ass." *He grinned.* "But yeah, getting trained in medical care for LMC species also sounds plausible.
[12:33][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:I am a bigger one Telek, I specialised in a job there is no purpose for if all stays well
[12:34][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Should have gone ops, we're always useful.
[12:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, or medical, we get to treat boo-boos and STDs people picked up despite our warnings.
[12:37][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Pffft my sister Zoe already took the medical option and ops..hmm.
[12:37][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"She probably looks better than you ever would in a medical uniform too, so yeah, she'd just outshine you.
[12:39][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She finished her drink.* "I believe I've had enough drinks to properly enjoy a spa program on the holosuite. Do enjoy, now.
[12:39][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Plus the anger wouldn't help with at prodding...*downs his drink and nodded at Lili* I'm also heading out
[12:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Try the avynei foot massage and thank me later. Good night.
[12:40][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Try the Travynei tantric massage and thank -me- later. Good night.
[12:40][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She strolled out, skin still shimmering like the sun-kissed sea.
