[9:07][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:of Rebirth, which is a traditional celebration held on Bolias to remember the ancestors and prepare for the new year as Bolian Spring begins very soon.

[9:09][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] It should be yet another interesting thing to observe, I spend almost as much time studying organic life as i do the stars! All sociologists should also be mixologists. End observation Log.
[9:10][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*fallo was turning a statue of a bolian woman until it was facing a direction looking slihglty over the entire festival area
[9:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she was wearign a purple and pink silk gown and robes with flowers of bright orange and purple on her. Purple makeup agaisnt her blue skin was in some form of scripture
[9:11][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina was near the bar sipping tea and curiously watching the last minute decorative efforts.-
[9:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik entered, wearing a sleek kzari uniform, this one not starnznavy, its colors lighter and more grey, a decorative sword on her hip. She gave Fallo a nod.* "Need some help?
[9:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *entered the Lounge and made her way up to Fallo* *maeve was dressed in A romulan star naval uniform, from teh 23rd century which had a rather high skirt and sparkling nature to it
[9:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Nope! Almsot ready
[9:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She was dressed in a lovely blue and yellow pioneer dress, her champagne blonde hair done up modestly in keeping with the style of the era.
[9:13][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Very well. I shall pester elsie for a drink, want me to bring you one?
[9:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue she was turning was nude but for flowers provindign modesty and holding two children

[9:14][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *behidn the bar in an Embers of a Waning sun shirt that was scissor cut at the neck and tied off revealing her stomach and a naval pericing. She had black hair with frosted purple tips
[9:14][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] This should be interesting I think I don't know much about bolian religion
[9:14][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi walks in, still buttoning up her vest.. she walks up to Fallo* "Oh.. if I had known it was a tits out party, I wouldn't have added so many layers.
[9:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *She smiled* "Tits out?
[9:15][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Pointing to the statue* "A joke... nice statue by the way.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "There's still time to whip the tits out," *he offered as he passed by with a gloriously long beard.
[9:15][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:enters the lounge wearing an old school starfleet uniform circa 2290, her hair for once not in a ponytail, she looks around a little nervously, just in time to hear Tavi "Wait are we expected to... o
[9:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Oh bolians don't have external nipples.
[9:16][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...How do -internal- nipples work?
[9:16][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Is the whole idea of them not for babies to have semi-easy access?
[9:16][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We are marsupial for that part
[9:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Careful now, wouldn't want to doctor to hear you and turn this into a bolian anatomy class." *She grins
[9:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Which would be the most adequate way to explain that
[9:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Is it not a subject for discussion
[9:17][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh, I never knew that." *She nodded her head, then smiled to Elsie.* "I suppose she -is- your ancestor, hm? Either way, can I have a beer?
[9:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*fallow traces the small openign ont he statue.
[9:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I'm joking hon.. who are you representing today?
[9:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I am my great ancestor that i get my name from she was a preistess of the Spring, Also named Fallo
[9:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The faith of rebirth is actually strong in my family while a lot of bolias is more secular
[9:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *served hedwig a beer
[9:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] If everyone would gather around I suppose I should explain
[9:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Interesting... sure.. gather around everyone.
[9:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*maeve took a drink from the ones set out and joined the group
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Oh, no, story time... gonna need you to beer me for this." *He nodded to Elsie.
[9:19][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--joined the group around Falloo-
[9:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] There are drinks on the tables
[9:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik returned with her drink.
[9:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] It is a Bolian drink made safe for none bolian consumption
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She rolled her eyes at Zeke and went to stand with the group.
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...So who do I have to stab for a beer?
[9:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *gave him a shitty pabst blue ribbon
[9:20][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*picking up a drink, she is checking it out, but by her body language and expression, she is there to back Fallo up, giving her attention.
[9:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smirked at Elsie while she carried her proper beer to the gathering, winking at the AI
[9:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Meh, beer's beer." *He took it and went with the others.
[9:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Okay so Thank you all for coming and dressign up I do look forward to learning who you are all representing
[9:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Teh festival of rebirth is as much about sharing history as it is looking toward the future
[9:22][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Long Ago Bolias was a very inhospitable world. One which we only relatively recently learned was not our first world but in stead where a Bolastran Ark ship crash landed
[9:22][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Harvests were rarely enough to feed everyone as such bolians developmed a very very robust ability to eat just about anything and extract nutrients from it
[9:23][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Which includes metals and such. anyway that doesn't matter. We have a goddess. WHo we called The first Mother
[9:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Its from her and the planet Myrmidon all bolians descend
[9:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The Festival of Rebirth is a reminder of the cyclical nature of civilization, how what came before us affects what we do in the future
[9:25][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] its also Usually a time of Fertility after a harvest of plenty but... we will not do those parts of the celebrations because... well we are starfleet officers and I couldn't get the captain
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:to OKay the aphrodesiac replicaitons.... Anyway. So basically the way it works is you approach the goddess and her preistess which in this case is me
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:And you make an offering of memory to recieve and offering of the future
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Then we talk and drink and be merry
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Any questions
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] So what exaclty are we not doing
[9:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smiled and shook her head.
[9:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Um..
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "The fun part, apparently.
[9:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Im kidding Fallo
[9:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"This offering of a memory.. how do we do that exactly?
[9:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Oh good... Oh that ssimple here watch
[9:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*fallo approached the statue
[9:28][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she touched her forehead to the statue
[9:28][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:looked like she was about to ask a question but Antony got there firs
[9:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I Fallo, Descendent fo Fallo, the First Attendant, give unto the first mother the rememberance of my Acceptance to starfleet Academy
[9:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Ah, that is curious. I interpreted the "offering of memory" as the stories we share.
[9:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She shut up when Flalo spoke again.
[9:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *closed her eyes and the statue glowed purple and orange for a moment
[9:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then she smiled
[9:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I saw my child... many years from now. She has very pretty yellow eyes
[9:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The statue grants a vision in exchange for a memory of yours?
[9:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Not the statue the First Mother
[9:30][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow at that-
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Are these actual visions, or just a conjuration of the mind of what you would like it to be?
[9:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Fallo.
[9:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] its why for the next 12 hours this is bolian territory
[9:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] It only works if we are on Bolias or maybe Myrmidon but i've never been there
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *Her lips pursed slightly, a very skeptical look upon her face.
[9:32][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Tellign everyoen else about who you are is a part of it if you want
[9:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"at least we don't have to wear colored sashes and fight it out... Fallo, is this a shared gift this memory or is it somehow sacrificed and you no longer have it?
[9:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I still remember it if thats what you are asking
[9:33][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*nods
[9:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Lighten up, blondie, it's all for fun." *He winked at Marla as he forced down his shitty beer.
[9:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "...Don't talk to me." *She stepped further away from Zeke.
[9:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] So I am representing Fallo the First Attendant. She was the high priest of the first mother abotu 900 years ago
[9:34][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:seems a little unsure, she blinks a few times "So speak of a memory we have, a good memory I guess?
[9:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik took a gulp of her own.* "I have to say, I like the idea. Respectful to the ancestors, and hopeful for the future." *She quietened down again to let Fallo tell he rstory.
[9:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] She sacrifcied herentire self in order to break a four year drought
[9:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] In doing so became reborn as the Rains for three seasons
[9:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Eeks a bit in her face, looks to the station
[9:35][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nodded solemnly.
[9:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(statue
[9:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Sicne then the first daughter of everyone in my family carries the name Fallo
[9:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] WHich means i have three cousins with the same name as me. Which can get confusing
[9:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:{Fallo] *smiles
[9:36][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:cant help but giggl
[9:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *took one of the bolian drinks
[9:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Who wants to go next
[9:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smiled as well and took another gulp.* "I can go next, should nobody else want it.
[9:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Always brave the Kzari charging forward. *fallo smiled
[9:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I volunteer to go after her
[9:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*mika arrived... wearing some rather tastful business clothing
[9:38][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Waves to Mika, gesturing her over
[9:38][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Sorry I am late Fallo I was still contemplating if i'd show up in blasphemy or not
[9:38][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Its alright
[9:38][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Have to set a good example, no?" *She smiled.* "Well, the ancestor I am representing is Kapten Else. I have to explain some LMC history because I am not sure how brushed up everyone is.
[9:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Mika, then turned back to the group.* "The kzari originally served the Dark, the Lady of Terror, the one who the Alliance, including many of your parents, warred against, up until two
[9:40][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"million years ago. The kzari's rebellion brought her no small amount of rage, and Kzar was invaded and rebuilt many times over our history. Just before the Party's arrival on the scene, in one of
[9:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The most dire invasions, a new weapon was unveiled - the war wheel. Kapten Else led out the 1st War Wheel division and broke through the Dark's forces, forcing them back into space, sacrificing her
[9:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Life in the proccess. She was also my... many-times great-grandmother.
[9:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] A noble warrior
[9:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It is said it took an archon teleporting inside her war wheel to finally bring her down." *She nodded her head.
[9:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We are better for knowing her story. Step forward if you have a memory to offer to the First Mother
[9:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded and stepped forwards, touching her forehead to the statue.* I Hedwik Von Schwarzweld, Descendent of Kapten Else of the 1st War Wheel Division, give unto the first mother the remembrance
[9:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"of my first racing title.
[9:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:(Racing trophy*
[9:44][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed
[9:45][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She gasped and looked up at the statue, then muttered her thanks, before stepping back.
[9:45][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I saw my death. It was a good one.
[9:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Sometimes the visions can be disorienting
[9:46][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Wowsers...
[9:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I have heard it compared to an Orb Experience
[9:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I don't know if I want to know my death
[9:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I do not think it is watch on demand." *She smirked.
[9:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I don't like spoilers." *He shrugged and forced down the last of his beer.
[9:47][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That's probably for the best... " *she smirks* "it is a fertility goddess after all.
[9:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] She is a fertility goddess yes, but she is also the watcher over all Bolian souls
[9:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The Bolian religion is best comapred to Hinduism
[9:48][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are you saying that just to try and get Zeke to participate, Tavi?" *She chuckled, then nodded to Falo, listening to her speak of her faith again.
[9:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We have many aspects of the same all powerful goddess
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "It makes sense. The goddess of fertility, mother of all watching over the souls she's created as a parent would.
[9:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] yes
[9:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi, to Fallo, but loud enough to be heard.* "I was terribly torn as to how to dress... I first was going to represent Octavia the Younger, but.. settled on a famour woman of my mothers line instea
[9:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(famous
[9:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well please share with us the memory of your ancestor
[9:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie joined them
[9:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Anyway... I... *she looked around at everyone, then started again* "I, Octavia Antonia Julia Delancia, Decendant of gen Julia, and Gens Antonia, represent Ann Gale of my mother's heritage today.
[9:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*she turns and puts her head against the statue* "I share my memory of my first Saturnalia as a woman.
[9:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed purple and orange
[9:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smirked at Zeke getting his just desserts and simply sipped her beer.
[9:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*Fallo stood by the statue being a dutiful attendant
[9:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I... I don't understand... this vision... it is too dark.
[9:56][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Dark how
[9:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It should not be dark, no? At least for me it was... incredibly vivid. As if I was there
[9:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*she looks concerned* "Like, a prison cell, of an ancient kind, or a slave market cell.
[9:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She winced.
[9:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Well that's awkward.
[9:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Stepping back, she retrieved her drink and leaned hard on a table* "i don't understand it.
[9:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Whatever you see is said to be a possible future. It may become clear later
[9:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I admit i was unsure if anyone would see anything since you aren't bolian
[9:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I am sorry if its distressing
[9:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Trying a smile* "no.. thank you for sharing... it may be of value at some point.
[9:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *smiled* WHo is willing to go next
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "I'll go next, if no one else wants to after that one.
[9:59][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Go ahead, I can go after you
[9:59][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi drains the drink her hand steadily, still puzzling.
[9:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the bolian drink has a spicy nature to it as well as smokey flavor
[10:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Very well Marla, can you tell us who you are representing
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She stepped forward.* "Marla Rigby, representing my ancestor, Lorelai Young Rigby, who made the journey to help found Salt Lake City in 1847.
[10:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smiled and listened.* "A pioneer, then?
[10:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Nice..." *she nodded encouragingly, trying to shake off the feeling.
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She nodded.* "Part of a group of Latter-Day Saints who ventured west seeking religious freedom. As for my memory... I share my memory of the last Rigby family reunion I attended last..
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:spring." *She went to touch her forehead to the statue.
[10:02][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed
[10:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *Her eyes fluttered and a hand pressed against her stomach, staggering slightly but a smile touching her lips.* "Oh... that's... unexpected.
[10:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Do you wish to share
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Um, sure... I felt like... I think I was in labor? I felt the pangs... but happy at the same time.
[10:06][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] A good omen
[10:06][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Ohh that is nice
[10:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. Guess the rigby family will only keep on growing.
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She nodded.* "Funny, I never thought..." *She trailed off a moment, then just smiled.* "Something to think about, I suppose. Thank you, Fallo.
[10:07][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I am merely the conduit of the first mother
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She stepped away from the statue to allow someone else their turn.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Well, thank you for organizing this all the same.
[10:07][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:*outsid ethe pulsar pulsed its 12 hour heavy pulse

[10:08][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Congratulations Marla, a good vision." *smiles to her, putting down her empty cup
[10:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She smiled back and nodded her thanks, turning to listen to Bethany.
[10:09][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I am dressed as Captain Akagia Scarlett, she was named after the Japanese aircraft carrier, Akagi, which in turn was named after mount Akagi in Japan, was a a Starfleet captain I think a hundred an

[10:10][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:walks over to the statu
[10:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smirked in the direction of the old-timey romulan Maeve.* "Did you coordinate?
[10:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] By that uniform she's a good 30 years later than my ancestor
[10:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh, I see.
[10:12][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I Bethany Moss Scarlett, descendant of Akagia Scarlett offer the memory of winning a cooking contest as a child against many adults" she puts her forehead to the statue a bit nervously
[10:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glows

[10:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] It is said you inhabit yourself at that moment
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He wandered back over, having acquired one of the Bolian drinks.
[10:15][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I saw myself in command of a ship, as captain, something... a creature was eating a planet

[10:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Eh. I would not sweat it too much. If it comes to that, it comes to that." *She shrugged at Bethany.
[10:19][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i shall go next.
[10:19][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--took a deep breath and looked at the statue nervously-

[10:23][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"She was at the signing ceremony that brought the United Federation of Planets into existence.
[10:23][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] An esteemed choice
[10:23][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*nods smiling
[10:24][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--nods and slowly apporaches the statue.-
[10:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nods approvingly at Zarina's story.
[10:25][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--she leans in and places her forhead against the statue.-
[10:25][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i share my memory of the time i brough home a Sehlat cub that i found...my mother was not pleased.
[10:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *small giggle
[10:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...You can -find- a Sehlat?
[10:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I bet
[10:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed
[10:29][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina steps back, lloking confused and more than a bit scared-
[10:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*maeve stepped up and touched her shoulder
[10:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Are you alright Zarina
[10:30][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:-Trembling slightly-- "i am fine..
[10:31][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Zarina? you sure? you look shaken
[10:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Need a drink?
[10:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I am sorry.. maybe it works different with non bolians..
[10:31][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"the realism of the vision rattled me is all.
[10:32][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] What did you see
[10:32][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Yeah, that part caught me off guard as well
[10:32][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--she looks at Mika-- "i would rather not discuss it.
[10:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"There is no need to apologize, Fallo. Some of us had perfectly good visions. It may just come down to what fate has in store for each of us.
[10:33][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"A pivital life altering moment in our lives to come
[10:33][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"it is not likily we are seeing visions of the future..." --she says harshly as she goes for a drink-
[10:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I guess it smy turn/
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He shrugged.* "Never put much stock in visions, the future's not written until it's happening.
[10:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I am representing Ahrre ir'Jiran t'Sahan, She was a warbird commander in the Romulan Star Navy around 2230. Her actions were responsible for the death of a klingon Chancellor candidate that
[10:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:orchestrated the rise of a chancleor freindly enough with the Romulan Empire to share technologies
[10:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] And for her role in that she was granted the ability to settle and retire from service wherever she wanted. She chose a little plot outside Maena City and had my Grandfather and his siblings
[10:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:there
[10:38][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"An accomplished assassin and starship captain. Admirable. Although I imagine for romulans the two categories often overlapped.
[10:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] SHe would have said she was simply a patriot
[10:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *she approached the statue and pressed her forhead to it
[10:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik chuckled.* "Smart woman.
[10:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[MAeve] I give the memory of Christmas morning in the highlands. When i was 7. My father dressed as Santa, and my mother as an Elf..
[10:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed
[10:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*after a moment maeve stepepd back and wiped her eyes
[10:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] IT was a good vision... but i need to go
[10:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*maeve left quickly
[10:42][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *seemed a bit distressed some poeple wer ehavgin dark visions..
[10:42][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*moving out quicky after Maeve trying to catch her in the hall
[10:42][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *was in the hall
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He gave an unconcerned shrug and finished off his drink.
[10:42][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] I guess i can go
[10:42][DOIC2]Antony@Gonz.:"Are you well?" *she offered a friendly ebrace
[10:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She gave Fallo a sympathetic look.
[10:42][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] I am my Great unckle Mork, he owns six asteroid
[10:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Mining asteroids?
[10:43][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] And he's be very angery that im dressed up as him so It works douibly well
[10:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She chuckled softly.
[10:43][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] No worthless asteroids because he didn't listen to me when i gave him the matallergical analysis because what doe sa female know of science
[10:44][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] *approached the statue and touched her forhead to the statue
[10:44][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well... now he knows." *Hedwik grinned and set down her empty beer glass.
[10:44][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] That is a mistake many make
[10:45][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] yeah.. I just... I knwo I will see my mom again at least. But it won't be for long
[10:45][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Didn't want to cry in front of all the cadets
[10:45][DOIC2]Antony@Gonz.:*hugs her again tighter* "I thought it was something like that... you are ok.
[10:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue strangely did nothing
[10:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Hmmm
[10:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Did i break it
[10:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe you have to say the mantra?
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "An uncle's not a direct ancestor, I think it's being picky.
[10:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I, Mika, offer the memory of... this and that.
[10:46][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--cants her head slightly as statue does nothing.-
[10:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Or is it because you are dressed as a living ancestor?
[10:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] I mika offer the memory of my acceptance to starfleet and the prid eon my moogi's face!
[10:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*still nothing
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] It might be a ferengi thing
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Or it's racist.
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Ooh four lobed brain
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Same reason betazoids can't read me
[10:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh... that may play a part in it." *She nodded in agreement.
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] WHcih is usefull when playing poker against betazoids
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I am sorry Mika
[10:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] its okay
[10:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Zeke
[10:48][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Yeah Im fine we should get back to the others
[10:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Well, I did go through the trouble of growing the beard.
[10:48][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"My mom always told me never to play poker with Betazoids or Ferengi
[10:48][DOIC2]Antony@Gonz.:*Nodding, she heads back in
[10:48][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Betazoids read you, ferengi cheat outright.
[10:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *has them both drinks
[10:49][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Honestly, the ferengi method is more respectable.
[10:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Thank you
[10:49][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"her words were "Playing with either will have you end up naked"
[10:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Pausing by the doors on the way in, Tavi opens her wrist padd, and queues a message to her brother.
[10:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He stepped up.* "Zeke Larris, dressed as my ancestor Ambassador Zacir Eren. And... fuck it, I offer a memory from Spring Break 2052." *He smirked and went to tap the statue.
[10:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*2452 )
[10:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] The famous legspreader and piece taker himself
[10:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *giggled
[10:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] How diluted is that blood again
[10:51][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Was there not an Eren who fought in the Dawn Alliance? So I suppose Zeke has peddigree too.
[10:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Apple didn't fall far," *he winked at Maeve.* "He's my great grandfather.
[10:51][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:blushes and swallows nervousl
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Oh, what the FUCK!
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He stepped away from the statue somewhat gingerly.* "Not sure I like this festival any more.
[10:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well this is just one part of it
[10:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Now we just party
[10:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] What about me
[10:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well Elsie im not sur eit will work for you any more than it would for Mika but you are welcome to share
[10:54][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Well I am dressed as Bren Riens obviously. Minus the nose. Though she didn't always have that. I guess she was my adopted ancestor when i actually started studying at Daystrom. Showing me
[10:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:what sort of things i could actually do.. if i could only have ever met her
[10:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*She walked up and put her forhead to the statue
[10:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] I give the memory of my first day
[10:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the statue glowed faintly orange for a second
[10:56][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Curious
[10:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Very...
[10:56][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:blinked inclining her head slightly in a curious manor
[10:56][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the holoprojectors in the lizzy change instead displaying a concert venue
[10:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*they are in the pit of the show throngs of people movign to the music
[10:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, her mind -is- the ship's mind.
[10:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] it snot..
[10:57][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] She's on a seperate section
[10:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are they not connected? Computer core?
[10:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Ah.
[10:58][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie is now on stage it woudl seem performing
[10:58][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik watched, curious.
[10:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Curious music
[10:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie dances to the lighter parts as she sings
[11:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] She doesn't seem to see us
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Eh, I always thought holographic life forms doing music was kind of... cheating. Not like they have to do nearly as much work to be good at it.
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Would you just shut up?
[11:00][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi comes back over to the others, to watch the performance, touching Fallo and whispering thanks in her ear.
[11:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Elsie can't usually sing
[11:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] She's a dance instructor
[11:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Well was one
[11:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I mean, they can learn, no? Same as we can.
[11:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "But she's--- Oh forget it, you're all gonna be obtuse about it.
[11:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Simply performing is not the same thing as composing
[11:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Who's to say she composes this song in the future?
[11:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"She may just be singing it.
[11:02][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Oh i know she didn't compose this one. This is Disposable Dreams off Hourglass 2436
[11:02][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] But this isn't the future. look at the tour poster
[11:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She turned her head to look at the poster.
[11:03][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the poster showed "bren riens 1 night only June 26th 2436, House of Blues New Orleans.
[11:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi applauds
[11:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Interesting... Do the pair share any programming? Like... ancestry, I suppose you could say? Elsie said Bren was an adopted ancestor.
[11:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik applauded when the song ended as well.
[11:04][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:-
[11:05][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Theres never been another Bren. Starfleet banned the cloning of the MARA
[11:05][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina also applauded, although she seemed a bit confused as to what was happening.-
[11:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Then why is the first mother confusing the two?
[11:06][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Thank you everyone... this next goes out to a very special being. some oen that without her sacrifice... I wouldn't exist. At least not like you see me..
[11:06][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Thank you for that Elsie.. but I missed what you said your vision was,,, did you share?
[11:06][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*the next song started
[11:06][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie was on stage and not paying any attention to them.
[11:07][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] Its almost liek we are only observers here
[11:07][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Maybe we are stuck in the vision
[11:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It definitely feels this way. I think this is her vision.
[11:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Maeve.
[11:07][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The statue is missing from here too..
[11:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I cannot help but wonder..." *She went to try and see if she can exit the lounge.
[11:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"She did not do this on purpose..." *surprised
[11:08][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:looks after Hedwi
[11:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*as hedwik walked out of the door she appeared in the other door ont he other side of the club room still in the room
[11:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Err
[11:08][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Yes, most definitely a vision.
[11:09][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"We don't appear to be in any immediate danger.
[11:10][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] No... maybe we just enjoy it! This show was supposedly her last one ever
[11:10][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i agree. Lets see where this goes.
[11:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Why not? It is good music.
[11:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She went to a replicator to get herself a new drink.
[11:10][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] I've got one more for you... after that... I'll be gone
[11:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she'd find no replicator instead no bartender talking to her earthe
[11:11][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Stepping slightly away from the others, she calls for the arch
[11:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*it does not come
[11:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She frowned some.* "What kind of a concert does not have drinks?
[11:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie sings on stage to the soft piano
[11:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*fallo produces a tricorder
[11:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*don't ask from where
[11:12][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina watches the show, not appearing to be particualy concerned.-
[11:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Where did...
[11:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Marsupial
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "The kind they hold back where Marla's from.
[11:12][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Turning back, and watching...
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Shut up...
[11:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Usseful." *She nodded approvingly to Fallo.
[11:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *scanned...
[11:12][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Cool
[11:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *dancd weaving befor ethe microphone as the light show dimmed down the pruples and green lights dancing over her on the stage
[11:13][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Anything interesting on the scan?
[11:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] They are human... she is photonic... and we are not here
[11:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Human and others
[11:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"So the scans pick this all up? Could the first mother's visions be less visions and more... small reality pockets?
[11:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*on stage the guitarist plays the bluesy solo.
[11:15][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Listening, Tavi is analyzing the lyrics
[11:15][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I don't think this has anything to do with the first mother
[11:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe... But then that leaves us with absolutely no explanation to go off of.
[11:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "I'd say it's more likely a reaction between the pulsar and the photonic life form.
[11:16][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"There was a pulse shortly after we started it was right before my turn
[11:16][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*as the song ends the lights fall jus ton elsie's face
[11:16][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Can pulsars affect photonic people like that?
[11:16][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] " I'll see you yesterday....
[11:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Groovy
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Depends on the pulsar.
[11:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she seemed to vanish fading into nothingness as if blocks fell away.
[11:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*and so did there surroundings
[11:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*and they were back in the lizzy
[11:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] umm hello Hologram to Cadets and Ensign
[11:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*elsie was just standing there waving an hand in frontof Zarina's face
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Oh, are we back now?
[11:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Groovy... not that I want to repeat, but pretty excellent.
[11:18][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I am gonna be writing my mom about tonight
[11:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh... I think it did not affect Elsie... but us.
[11:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Elsie... did we just... drift off?
[11:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] What affect me
[11:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...What was your first hint?
[11:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What was your vision ELsie?
[11:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] I touched my head to the statue then looke dup and you were all just staring
[11:18][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:-Zarina holds her own hand up to indicate she is responsive now.-
[11:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elise] I didn't have a vision im a hologram..
[11:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"When you tocuhed the statue, we saw you on a stage.
[11:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"But it wasn't... you, it was Brenda Riens, and it was her last concert.
[11:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Hopefully I was clothed..
[11:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] oh! That sounds interesting
[11:19][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Nat a tragedy, but you were.
[11:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...I am going to ignore the previous comment.
[11:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] You really didn't see anything
[11:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] nope
[11:20][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Ohh I had that nightmare, about to sing on stage, suddenly naked
[11:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Sing? Thats mroe of a nightmare for me
[11:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *she made a very sour note that sounded slightly robotic
[11:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You weren't really... you, as I said. More the person you were dressed as.
[11:20][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I love singing, I am even alright
[11:20][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Don't have the programming
[11:21][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"the music was most agreeable.
[11:21][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I know the feeling Elsie.
[11:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] But i can do this. *she did a very perfect piroette
[11:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *His eyes rolled hard and he went to get another drink.
[11:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Well Another round

[11:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well i suppos ethat was very interesting
[11:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*somewhere on the citadel deep on the citadel
[11:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Voice] Well i showed them what you told me to. Still not sure why
[11:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I should have probably paid much more attention in my astrophysics classes...
[11:23][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"But thank you, Fallo. Tonight was most certainly... an experience.
[11:23][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Second Voice] She has her reasons..
[11:24][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Second Voice] See you Yesterday, Old Friend. *the transmission cuts*
[11:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Yes! I was not expecting the concert! And im sorry some of you had darker visions
[11:24][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Computer; do you have a holo recording of the Brenda Riens concert, Jun 26th 2436, House of Blues New Orleans?
[11:25][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Computer] No Recordings exist of that event within my databanks
[11:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Damn, can't even show you Elsie, I'm sorry.
[11:26][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I thought this was very cool, I may get the chance to save a planet, scary but also that is the stuff legends is made of
[11:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I'll send a request to Granpa Mick, they must have it.
[11:26][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"its ia quite alright. I was not harmed in any way.
[11:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] You won't find htem. There are all sorts of reports of her playing shows one of and in secret and enver having any recordings after the Risa Festival in 2435
[11:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] She woiuld even deny doing it in the press
[11:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Claiming to have been busy on the Caelian or even a quadrant away
[11:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Strange. Were it me, I would want my music and performances immortalized.
[11:27][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"memory issues?
[11:27][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Me to
[11:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] no one knows. She dissapeared with Admiral Razzor in 2439
[11:27][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"but not really good enough to sing in public
[11:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I met her once when i was very small
[11:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That's strange... or not. Mom told me Bren was often cryptic and saying stuff that she couldn't have known, but it wasn't figured out till years later.
[11:27][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Somewhat of a mystery i suppose.
[11:28][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] My second favorite song from that album's one that had Commander Sif of the Mjolnir on it
[11:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Fireflies is probably my favorite... best piano parts. So I am very glad we got to see it live..
[11:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Live-ish..." *She chuckled.
[11:29][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Makes me wish I had more interest in her music now. I don't think I gave it enough attention. Did you hear the lyrics though?
[11:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Assuming that was some sort of temporal tunnel
[11:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The lyrics sounded like a farewell.
[11:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Yeah and a welcome
[11:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] The passing of one timeline into another
[11:29][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Mhmm
[11:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Fitting for the idea of this festival, no?
[11:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] A very common theme of the Hourglass album
[11:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] it is fitting, maybe it was the First Mother after all
[11:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] *smiles
[11:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then goes to eat some of the bolian foods
[11:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Fallo.* "All I am saying is it is too... fitting to be random. Maybe it is not the pulsar itself, but some guest yet to reveal themselves, like the tree friend we had.
[11:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Maybe
[11:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Or maybe the first mother herself." *She smiled and grabbed one of the bolian drinks.
[11:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oh... that makes my head hurt.
[11:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Try the blue crab
[11:31][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"This galaxy really is strange
[11:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Any bolian music that is special to this event Fallo?
[11:32][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh, Athena. Am I going to be slapped across teh hands if I eat it incorrectly?" *She smirked and went to take a blue crab leg.
[11:32][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am sure there is a logical explaination for it all.
[11:32][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Nothing is logical in the LMC, or at least very little
[11:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Hmm.. Bolians don't really use music like that
[11:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] As a matter of fact im not exactly sure how much of our own music really survives
[11:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Except in snippets in assimilated music
[11:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"That is a rather... sad thought.
[11:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The artform that took the place of music in bolian religion is round recitation
[11:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"You don't even have like, drum beats to dance to? or melodies to set your oral history to?
[11:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Oh yes we do have drums
[11:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] And Rhythms.
[11:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] But thats for the fertility celebration
[11:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] And um...
[11:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We aren't doing that part
[11:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oh...OHHH... *laughing* "probably for the best.
[11:35][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You have to keep a certain rhythm for the fertility celebration? Would it not be more pleasant freeform?
[11:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Not if trying to acheive unified climax
[11:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"remind me to send you a recording of Revel's Bolero hon.
[11:36][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--looks a bit more green in the face-
[11:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik chuckled softly and nodded.* "That is certainly a complicated task. I can see why the rhythm is needed... and even with it...
[11:36][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:Swallows, blushes and asks "Unified climax? is that what it sounds like?
[11:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] I mean we aren't goign to do it but basically Bolarus has lots of oceans
[11:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] So its sorta symbolic of how we have to rely ont he ocean to survive which is why famines were common
[11:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Recitations ever use the beat of the waves?
[11:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] yep
[11:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That's music too.
[11:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Birth in the ocean as well whcih then sees into the pouch.
[11:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded her head, sucking some meat from the crab leg.
[11:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Sucked loudly and with a few strategic flicks of her tongue, the meat was gone.* "You are right, the crab is delicious.
[11:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Bolians are also polyamourus so most of the time you switch up partners each celebration to expand the chance for children
[11:39][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:blushes even mor
[11:39][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I hear that is best for genetic diversity.
[11:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"How many celebrations like that do you have per year?
[11:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We are far less fertile than most humanoids. it usually takes at least 10 attempts or more to even generate a single pouchlings
[11:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well we only have one rebirth ceremony but group sex is common after every celebration
[11:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] and we have abotu 45 of those per yar
[11:40][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Not too bad, then. I imagine a full year of ritualistic sex would leave you sore all over.
[11:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...So how close are we going to keep with trad---" *He was kicked in the shin again.
[11:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*fallo smiles
[11:41][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"well, Zeke, we are not seeking to reproduce so...
[11:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Well Zeke we really can't if you and i were to well couple you'd get severely acid burned
[11:41][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"group...?" swallows some spit, not quite sure what to do with herself
[11:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I would say some things are worth a little acid burn." *She chuckled.
[11:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He thought for a moment.* "...Oh, that might be what that vision was.
[11:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I'm good, then.
[11:42][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Thats sorta the other issue. Bolians really can't cross breed
[11:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, consider yourselves lucky. Too much of that and you end up with Zeke.
[11:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She grinned at him.
[11:43][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *laughs
[11:44][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] So yeah music typically serves a purpos ein bolian tradition
[11:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He smirked.* "There's worse fates.
[11:44][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] But poetry is very common
[11:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mika] From what i hear you only have to be with zeke for thirty seconds
[11:45][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Any favorite type of poetry? I know quite a few kzari war epics by heart.
[11:45][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*laughs at Mika's comment
[11:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] It sa form of collaborative spontaneosu poetry
[11:45][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik snorted back a laugh.*"You gathered information, Mika?
[11:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] We could do some now
[11:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh, I can recite, but I have never tried my hand at it. I cannot promise I will not ruin it.
[11:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Basically what children do is you pick a simple meter and then alternate lines in a circle
[11:46][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"wait how would that work?
[11:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Lets see. lets say.. standard Alpha Beta internal rhyme
[11:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Not from a non-biased source, anyway." *He drank.
[11:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] The waters are blue, the air is green
[11:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallow] Now Zarina will say, what she has seen
[11:48][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina looks up from her thoughts-- "what?
[11:49][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We are doing a form of bolian poetry. Collaborative, alternating.
[11:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Sounds dumb." *He went to get another drink.
[11:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It may help you broaden your vocabulary, Zeke.
[11:50][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i apologize,
[11:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "You don't know anything about my vocabular-- WHAT THE FUCK!
[11:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Besides, superficial art girls will -love- you when oyu tell them you've partaken in traditional bolian poetry.
[11:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"What?
[11:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He pointed at the statue.* "Turn that damn thing off!
[11:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] It doens't turn off it sa statue
[11:51][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She looked at the statue.
[11:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Then why am I still getting visions?
[11:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Its okay zarina I sorta just threw it to you but basically you would come up with the next stansa
[11:51][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Maybe guilt
[11:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He just scoffed at that.
[11:51][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Stansa?
[11:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"A couple of lines in a poem.
[11:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What visions Zeke?
[11:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi actually grabs a drink and moves over to Zeke to talk
[11:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...The ones we were getting from the statue.
[11:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What are you seeing.
[11:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "None of your damned business.
[11:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Basically to what Fallo said you might resond "A festival given to a goddess renew, my future un certain, from visions review
[11:54][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--looks at the statue-
[11:54][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*it was facing out of the window
[11:54][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Why so hostile? Maybe it is a warning.
[11:54][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i have never been much of a poet.
[11:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Okay, you want to know? It's of a fucking MEDICAL DEVICE being shoved in my COCK.
[11:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Like all... ouch..
[11:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:{fallo] I didn't know you had a pet chicken
[11:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Does Colby Jack know
[11:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *she giggled.
[11:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] He might wish for some fowl play
[11:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"ow.. sorry about the catheter... but maybe we could join in on the poetry and you might not see it anymore.
[11:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She chuckled softly at Fallo.
[11:56][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:hides her blushing face in her hands
[11:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe his scorning of the poetry angered the first mother. Or whichever being gave us visions.
[11:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I'm just going to drink until I dont remember it any more, or don't care. Whichever comes first.
[11:58][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Just pray you don't get assigned sickbay duty soon so it doesn't unlock the trauma.
[11:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He side-eyed Hedwik.
[11:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smiled and turned back to the others.
[12:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] Anyway Thats sorta it for the ceremony. With that alert Lizzy's shouldn't be bolian anymore
[12:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she checekd her watch
[12:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Fallo] So! Now we can just party
[12:01][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:*with that we shift to a social*
