Capt Rian Kwai -> ::reaches over, picks up the bowl and passes it over to Blu:: It's nice. A bit remote. But nice.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::enters the cabin and looks around::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Knocks on the door:::

Tory Knight -> ::wanders across the landing pad toward the stables, moving with a cat-like grace::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::crests the hill to reach the cabin a little behind a few of the others, looking around with interest::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Pet fish or cooking fish?

Tory Knight -> I don't suppose any of these lovely animals would be available for rental?

STSF_BluRox -> Or better with roast corn...got some on that other grill over there, wrapped in the burlap.....could ya splash some water on that?

STSF_BluRox -> I'll get the fish...

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: Admiral..

Tory Knight -> ::folding her arms across her chest and leaning against a doorframe, eyes dancing with mischief::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: My grandmothers recipe

STSF_BluRox -> Thank you....if you could put it over there....on that table...

Capt Rian Kwai -> That, I can probably handle, ::unfolds her legs and gets up, goes in search of the water to slash on the corn::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Admiral... ::fishes a bottle of wine from her bag:: I brought wine. Canadian Niagara valley

LtCdrJohnson -> ::puts it down::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::walks over to Jax::

Heather Jamieson -> :: feet a bit sore, taking the first spot she sees to rest ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((Ontario makes wine just as well as it does snow!))

August Jax Robinson -> ::Smiles:: Nice to see you again, how is Planet bound life treating you?

STSF_BluRox -> (and omg, they make Ayumu's too)

Ayumu Kasuga -> Sure. ::places wine in the bucket::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::yeah, not much of a cookie, has spent most of her time on a starship with replicators, so she's getting the hang of this very slowly::

Heather Jamieson -> :: laughs a bit at Ayumu's wine, feels her own bag ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> (and Biebers too, sadly))

STSF_BluRox -> Food is just about done...feel free to help yourselves.....

LtCdrJohnson -> Cohen>::to Jax:: Alright I guess...it's nice to be able to spend more than a few days with David, and the Rhode Island is off exploring some anomaly...so I was glad to get away

Tory Knight -> Stable Master> They might. ::drunken hic, smelling of alcohol:: But for a purty lady like you... Ya want, I should saddle up our finest? You look like yer used to the finest...

August Jax Robinson -> ((Heather, Family show, no feeling your bags there))

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Have you enjoyed your vacation Ma'am?

STSF_BluRox -> Fish is finishing up now, corn is over there with Rian....and ...(OMG>...rofl)))

August Jax Robinson -> it has been eventful

Tory Knight -> ::wry grin:: How about you point me in the right direction? It's not exactly my first race.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::milling about looking at the scenery::

STSF_BluRox -> (August wins a blu chip)

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::a bit helpless with the corn cooking:: <m> She said splash water on it. Um....

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Rebecca:: Can I get you a drink honey?

Tory Knight -> Stable Master> ::hic:: ::points toward saddles, and gestures toward one of the stalls:: Careful, ol' Max there can have a bit of a 'tude.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::casts a glance behind her, wonders if the crew realizes that the Cait can't drink::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh oh.. ::looks at Heather:: ...almost forgot. ::rummages in her bag for the bottle of sake she brought from Japan, placing it on the table by Heather's whisky::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Notes Will does not offer to get her a drink::

STSF_BluRox -> (no....this was for you guys, they're just sucking up, ya'll been here long enough to know not to)

Heather Jamieson -> "Look at the name of mine.. Jameson."

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::leans against the railing, giving the hungry group a chance to have at it::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::head swivel::

Tory Knight -> ::checks buckles and stirrups, then, satisfied, swings into the saddle::

Ayumu Kasuga -> OOooh.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::then realizes someone's gesturing at a bottle and chuckles; not the first time this has happened::

Heather Jamieson -> "Barcode and I had a good time in the UK.."

Tory Knight -> ::makes clicking noise as she spurs the horse into action, leaning in and riding like a natural::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok...fish is ready if anyone is hungry....

Tory Knight -> ::jumps the fence and makes off, up the trail::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ooh.

STSF_BluRox -> ::not telling them she already began with some of the blueberry pie earlier::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will as she pours herself a drink::

August Jax Robinson -> :P

Jameson Bardolph -> ::makes for the fish with enthusiasm::

STSF_BluRox -> Yea, that smells done...::goes over and hooks the burlap with a claw and pulls it off the corn:: Yea, perfect...nice job Rian

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::didn’t think they should be drinking as that was how they wound up with all the kids in the first place::

Capt Rian Kwai -> <w>You realize I didn't do much but stare at it, right?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::some of us hold their liquor better than others :P ::

Tory Knight -> ::enjoying the wind in her hair, the terrain, and the ride overall::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::brings back a plate of food and two glasses of wine::

Tory Knight -> ::making sport by jumping the logs, even when not necessary::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i now have a serious craving for fresh corn on the cob))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::places some fish, corn and whatever else was there on her plate as well as a bottle of beer from the ice bucket::

STSF_BluRox -> ::grins at Rian:: So...I've been resting, my head has been feeling much better

STSF_BluRox -> (I just read that as you obtained fish heads)

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((Yeah... so do I. ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((hahahahaha))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Fish heads, fish heads...))

STSF_BluRox -> (good silver queen corn)

Tory Knight -> (( Now I've got *that* song in my head... ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((you can never have too many fish heads))

STSF_BluRox -> (omg, me too

Heather Jamieson -> (( had fish tonight actually ))

LtCdrJohnson -> ((so did I))

August Jax Robinson -> ::Takes a seat near the fire::

Ayumu Kasuga -> (yeah, as soon as you said fish heads)

LtCdrJohnson -> ::sits down watching people mill about::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: You know it's funny...I haven't been back on earth this long since Rebecca & I were married

STSF_BluRox -> ::crosses over to the group and takes a seat, plate with a huge piece of blueberry pie in hand::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::takes a seat too, trying not to laugh at the corn cob smile Bardolph has::

STSF_BluRox -> ::hears someone by the barn and glances over::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::eating her food::

Jameson Bardolph -> Kwai> ::gesturing with it, since she seemed to be in charge of the corn:: Delicious, by the way, Cap'n.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::glancing at the group, wondering exactly how many of them are going to end up camping out and how many will return to civilization::

Heather Jamieson -> :: pours herself a shot ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> She's the cook. I'm just the supervisor. ::smirks, jerking a thumb at Blu::

Ayumu Kasuga -> The fish is quite good as well. Goes well with the wine

STSF_BluRox -> ::if you'll excuse me a moment:: Stands and turns towards the outbuilding...seeing a figure heading towards them

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns and flicks an ear at Kwai::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::laughs:: Well, credit all round, then. Though the hike makes one hungry, which helps.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Maybe that explains it

Tory Knight -> ::spots the Caitian, putting on her diplomatic smile as they approach each other::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::sips some wine::

Tory Knight -> ::working to withdraw the PADD in her bag as she walks::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Sake? Anyone?

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns back towards the figure, and sees a young human approaching::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Weren't warned about the hike, were you?

Capt Rian Kwai -> I'll pass, Kasuga. But thanks

STSF_BluRox -> ::frowns a moment, thinking something is going to disrupt the party:: May I help you ensign? ::noting this woman was not one of hers:

Ayumu Kasuga -> I got the text message. That's why I changed into my heels after I arrived at the cabin

Jameson Bardolph -> Kasuga> No, but I'll have some of that whiskey when it comes 'round.

Tory Knight -> Admiral BluRox, I presume? ::wry smile:: I'm sorry to interrupt, but Command believed you should have this data as soon as possible.

Jameson Bardolph -> Kwai> Naw, but it didn't bother much. Good exercise.

Jameson Bardolph -> Kwai> Take the hike yourself? Or'd you beam in?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sips Wine::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Heels? Kasuga? Seriously?

STSF_BluRox -> Yes, I am....::reaching to take the padd:: And thank you. ::looks towards the barn:: Rode Max up did you? He's quite the live wire....

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at Jax:: At least I'm not alone.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Flew then walked in. I kinda sorta, well, played a bit. ::sheepish grin:: I like the hike.

Tory Knight -> He and I had a very pleasant jaunt. Excellent jumper.

STSF_BluRox -> You must have a good seat to handle him

STSF_BluRox -> Not many can, though he's tame as can be for Admiral Calvert...those two have a special bond.

Ayumu Kasuga -> And mine aren't muddy either ::smiles and sips her wine::

STSF_BluRox -> Now...let's see what's on this padd that they ran you all the way up here?

Tory Knight -> ::shifts so that she can access the PADD:: If I may...?

Jameson Bardolph -> Played? ::curiously::

STSF_BluRox -> :: be my guest::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Um. Well. Yes. Kinda went hunting for Tupperware in the woods.

Tory Knight -> They've completed the ablative armor upgrade, and I believe you'll find the armament upgrades more than satisfactory.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::bemused expression::

Heather Jamieson -> :: taking the shot ::

Tory Knight -> ::accessing the schematics of the upgrade, and showing them to the admiral::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::pours Heather a shot of sake::

Heather Jamieson -> :: sees someone new ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at Tory as well::

STSF_BluRox -> ::watching the padd:: Very interesting...

STSF_BluRox -> Quite the cryptic bit of programming too...

Jameson Bardolph -> Alright, I'll bite. Did ye find any?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::eating a corn::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::while noticed that some members of the table are distracted by something going on behind her, Rian chooses not to turn around and investigate, was enjoying being not-in-the-know for once::

STSF_BluRox -> Can you break down the important bits, since you seem to know what all was sent on here?

Tory Knight -> The new configurations for the torpedoes provide an increase in potential energy...in short, more, ahem, bang for the buck.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Aye, two nearby. Once iiiiiiitttybitty one. About the size of the battery pack for your phaser and one a good size one. ::shows off her treasure:: Got a plastic ring for my effort.

STSF_BluRox -> Very nice indeed...

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyes the treasure and chuckles:: Sounds like a fun days work.

STSF_BluRox -> Oh, excuse me for being rude....would you care for something to eat or drink after brining that all the way up here to me?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at the treasure:: Oooh.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gives Will the Look:::

STSF_BluRox -> We can discuss more after you eat. You should get something while it's still hot

Capt Rian Kwai -> Isn't that what shoreleaves is all about?

STSF_BluRox -> ::(Secret decoder ring!)

Tory Knight -> ::nods once:: Many thanks, Admiral. I was sent without my supper. ::wry smile::

Heather Jamieson -> :: enjoys the fish and corn emensely ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::takes a swig of her bottle Yeungling::

STSF_BluRox -> What is your current station and assignment?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::ignores it::

STSF_BluRox -> ::motions for her to walk over towards the food with her::

Ayumu Kasuga -> bottle of*

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather is a bit light headed from the 'real' alcohol)

Tory Knight -> ::falls into step with the admiral:: I'm currently assigned Research and Development for Fleet Command.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((lol, I thought that was my routine.))

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::glancing between the Robinsons:: You all okay? You're awfully quiet.

Jameson Bardolph -> Absolutely.

August Jax Robinson -> I am fine... Will on the other hand is stupid

Heather Jamieson -> :: stumbles a bit while holding her plate, takes one hand to feel her face.. warm ::

STSF_BluRox -> Have you had any thought of serving aboard a Starship? Especially a new one that would be in need of someone knowledgeable of the upgrades?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gulps drink, smiles::

LtCmdrRobinson -> She's mad at her father, not at me. Long story.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::gulps her beer::

August Jax Robinson -> OH no... my anger is Well placed

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::watching the play by play:: Ruh roh. Family disharmony.

Tory Knight -> ::furrows brow slightly:: Some, though I've only graduated the Academy earlier this year. I've barely begun at Command.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::if this results in a physical fight, she'll regret asking, until that time, she's interested::

Heather Jamieson -> :: places a bit of the sake in the shot glass ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::grins at her:: Well..you were smart enough to take the horse and not walk

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyebrow up, decides to stay out of this one, looks around instead; notes the new arrival talking to Blu::

Heather Jamieson -> :: eats more corn ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Horse? ::overhears Blu:: They have horses here?

August Jax Robinson -> He had the nerve to chit chat with my Father, who is a jerk

Tory Knight -> I grew up around horses. The choice seemed only natural -- especially when offered the choice between hiking and riding.

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Ayumu gulping the beer, leans too far back, and falls off her log seat onto her back, pouring the rest of the beer on her::

August Jax Robinson -> Even after he had punched him!

Capt Rian Kwai -> <w>Kind of like watching a tennis match, isn't it? ::glances at Whiskey::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ahh! Cold, cold!

Capt Rian Kwai -> Punched? ::blinks::

August Jax Robinson -> Yes!

Ayumu Kasuga -> I killed the Yeungling!

Jameson Bardolph -> Huh? ::turning back towards Kwai in time to see Ayumu dump the beer on herself:: Yuh-oh! ::leans forward to grab her arm, helping her back onto her log::

STSF_BluRox -> And you will not be riding any of them....like that....

Ayumu Kasuga -> No. I doubt it ::lest I ride into a flock of birds and be summarily tried and executed for it::

Capt Rian Kwai -> <m>Now I see what Blu was talking about. ::flicks whatever Ayumu's drink that has spilled on her off::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods, sipping drink:: It's ok. Her side of the family doesn’t know how to hit hard.

STSF_BluRox -> I've got a request in for new crew to help fill up our newly commissioned ship...I could use a few smart people ::turning over to look at Ayumu and her beer::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Thanks. ::helped back up:: I'm not drunk, I just leaned to far back

Ayumu Kasuga -> I didn't realize the chair had no back, heh.

Tory Knight -> ::looks Kasuga:: Hmm. Yes. I see what you mean.

Tory Knight -> ::impish gleam in eyes::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Leans passed Rian:: I would I know what your side does? I have never met or heard about any of them

Heather Jamieson -> "You alright Kasuga?"

Jameson Bardolph -> ::chuckles::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, yes. Thanks. Ha ha.

Jameson Bardolph -> Clearly the rest of us need that bottle of Irish to catch up. ::lopsided grin at Ayumu::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::gulps a little, wondering if she's in the line of fire between the Robinsons::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I don't think I'll be living this one down anytime soon though. My pride took the brunt of that

STSF_BluRox -> Here...let me introduce you to some of my.........crew....

Tory Knight -> You claim them? ::wry grin, amusement in her voice::

Heather Jamieson -> :: reaches for the Jameson ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Grabs another Yeungling from the bucket::

STSF_BluRox -> I sort of half too

Tory Knight -> At least now I know where the stable master got his cups from...

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::shifty glance between Jax and then to Will::

Tory Knight -> ::chuckles::

STSF_BluRox -> Everyone....this is Ensign Knight......Ensign Knight...this is....well...everyone...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Heh. ::chuckles at Jamieson::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I dont get along with my family so much. Not as well as you do.

STSF_BluRox -> This is Captain Kwai,

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh, ::raises her new bottle at Knight:: Welcome to Maine, Ensign

Capt Rian Kwai -> Hello. ::nods to the human woman::

STSF_BluRox -> Commander Robinson and Lt Commander Robinson...

Tory Knight -> ::glances about the unfamiliar faces, making connections between names and faces::

Heather Jamieson -> "Greetings lass." :: smiles widely ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::opens the bottle and takes a seat::

STSF_BluRox -> Oh..::turning to Rian:: Since she's back on duty, we need to fix that too...

Tory Knight -> ::nods to each of the crew members in turn, as they are introduced::

STSF_BluRox -> This is Lt Jameson.....he's in security with Will

Jameson Bardolph -> ::glances towards Knight, the lopsided grin still firmly in place as he registers her more directly:: Evening, Ensign. ::tip of an imaginary hat::

Heather Jamieson -> :: brushes her stray strand of aubrun hair out of her face.. again ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Blu> Bardolph, ma'am.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::eating the rest of her fish, trying to be sure not to lean too far this time::

STSF_BluRox -> , and over here is Lt Commander Johnson and his wife

Heather Jamieson -> :: now has a bit of wine her her shot glass ::

STSF_BluRox -> and our semi soaked friend here is my helmswoman...who will 'not' be driving tonight

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::brushes a strand of hair aside as well::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::feeling somewhat perplexed at being one of the few people *not* yet drinking in the group::

Tory Knight -> I'm relieved. I'd hate to see all our hard work go to waste.

Capt Rian Kwai -> (m)Thank the joined gods.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::chuckles::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods, chuckles in spite of herself::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Ironic, isn't it? The one with a nickname of Whiskey has yet to take a drink?))

STSF_BluRox -> ::watching the other woman star to teeter as well: and this is Heather, she's our Astrogator.....::stops self from almost accidently saying astrologist::

Jameson Bardolph -> (( lol ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> Heh..astrogator.

STSF_BluRox -> (Sorry, she can only scan for you, if you happen to be a Gemini)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (aww)

Capt Rian Kwai -> (w) Is that like instigator?

Jameson Bardolph -> Joinin' the party, Ms. Knight? The corn's excellent.

Tory Knight -> (( She's probably seeing double right now... ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((rofl))

STSF_BluRox -> Go ahead and grab some food, I want to look over this when I'm done my pie

August Jax Robinson -> ::gets a refill::

Tory Knight -> Mmm. Pie.

Heather Jamieson -> "The sake, wine and whiskey are all good.." :: winks at whiskey ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::grabs another ear of corn::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Best taken orally, take it from me!

STSF_BluRox -> pouring it on Ayumu by accident

Tory Knight -> ::grins:: ::looks to Bardolph:: Apparently, I've been invited to crash the party.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ahh, come on. Orally.
