[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: As a reward for all their hard work, a reception will be held for the heroic Republic crew for saving the planetary resources and stopping an illegal weapons sale. As the crew members are now beaming down to enjoy the party in their honor, they are reminded to be on their best behavior and not abuse the newly (re)instated permission to enjoy Risan hospitality. Dress code is beach casual.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Questions?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((*now* it's working))

Jameson Bardolph -> lol

Tory Knight -> (( Hey, so long as it's working... ))

Capt Rian Kwai -> Okay, I'll take the crickets as a sign that there are no questions...

 

Cpt Rian Kwai -> ~~~BEGIN SIM~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~BEGIN SIM~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION> BEACH PARTY BINGO! Reception is being held beach front complete with savory tropical treats, plenty of fruity drinks, a hoppin’ band and lots of twinkling lights.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::beaming down. Will be on his best behavior, which is still less then most peoples worst behavior::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::heading to TR to beam down to the reception, rocking a Hawaiian shirt and shorts::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Y'all don't need the away team symbol unless you're on the ship))

August Jax Robinson -> ::hands a drink in one hand and the revolver in the other::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::beaming down to the surface still presumably green::

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: Also heading down, walking a few meters behind Jamson ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> They have a chocolate bar over there, sweetie.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::hops up on the TR pad and shimmers on down::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::walking near Heather::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Ayumu:: how long is that going to last?

Christina_Nickles -> :: in a full piece suit with a full length wrap around to cover most of her skin... Still embarrassed at being green thinking everyone will stare at her::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I think just a few more days

August Jax Robinson -> really? I heard months.. ::sips drink::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>::a Risian native, circulating through the crowd with a plate of tasty treats::

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks behind Ayumu:: I hope it wears off as fast as it occurred. If it wears off slowly ... ::shuts up::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'm just glad you are not green, that would be weird.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Well, yes. But I've been like this a few months already. how time flies. Pretty much since the start. ::Shrugs::

August Jax Robinson -> I also heard it might not fade at all... depends on which department you listen to

Heather Jamieson -> :: Steps on the padd and dematerializes away ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Well.. we're hopeful Dr Tisa has something than can get rid of this. If not, then I personally, have gotten used to it y now.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::deshimmering at the edge of the party, nods around at everyone and starts making for the bar::

August Jax Robinson -> Green is in

Christina_Nickles -> Jax please don’t say that. I don’t want to have to explain this to my family when I return home

Tory Knight -> ::reclined on a chair, under an umbrella, big sunglasses on her face, legs crossed as she reads, enjoying the warmth::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>Just above, the nightly explosive demonstration (aka futuristic fireworks) go off, showering the area above the sea with a colorful display.

 

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will:: Green isn't my color.. but Heather spends a lt of time being green

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks up at the fireworks::

Heather Jamieson -> :: As Heather moved off the Risa pad she looked around, seeing the explosive display overhead ::

Tory Knight -> ((magic edit that...Guess she can't be lounging with sunglasses and still be able to read in the dark! ))

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((just no sunglasses, Tory :D))

Christina_Nickles -> :: jumps at the first sound of the explosions but then takes a deep breath seeing its the display::

Christina_Nickles -> :: watches the display:: Its pretty don’t you think?

Heather Jamieson -> :: This time the visit here would be different. She cared less what people thought. Before she left she made sure to color her hair out a bit. The mishmash of red felt odd. ::

Tory Knight -> ::glancing up at the display, a lopsided grin creeping across her lips::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>Bon bon? ::offering her tray to Christina::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::gives the explosions an appreciative glance as he walks on; definitely a nice show that's being put on for them::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs some Bon bon's::

Tory Knight -> MAJ Jamie Kent> ::sitting at the beach bar, elbows propped as he nurses a pint::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I think it is very pretty ::grabs some bon bons:: Don’t mind if I do!

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes a bite consuming about half of it in one bite::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Walks towards the other two green people in sight ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>That one is orange cream. And this one ::pointing:: is berry filled.

Heather Jamieson -> Hey. :: Heather said simply to Christina and Ayumu ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oooooo...!

Christina_Nickles -> ::: enjoying the taste :: Orange is my favorite

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh hey Heather. You should try the bon bons!

LtCmdrRobinson -> It feels weird being here and not needing a fake identity. Takes some of the fun out of it.

Tory Knight -> Kent> ::grimaces as the fireworks go off, giving them hardly a glance::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gets another drink::

Heather Jamieson -> (Heater, I like)

Jameson Bardolph -> ::approaches the bar and orders a Dos Equis or whatever the local equivalent is::

Ayumu Kasuga -> :grabs a drink as well::

Tory Knight -> ::still getting used to being back in her own skin, as it were, and shaking off her "Leia" persona::

Christina_Nickles -> :: pops the remainder in her mouth:: These are good Is there a place here we can buy some before we leave?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::taking her own seat at the bar, watching the crew for trouble::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::is still sober, unlike her real life player::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>The Tora Chocolateer in the hotel lobby. ::grins::

Christina_Nickles -> Thank you I will get some before I leave. These are delicious

Tory Knight -> Kent> ::takes a draw on his own pint, pursing his lips as he considers his return back to Earth::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::receiving his beer, pops the top off against the edge of the bar and takes a sip::

Christina_Nickles -> What flavors are these ::pointing to a few of the bon bons:

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::drinks a glass of nice red merlot::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Huggles Will:: I love wine

Ayumu Kasuga -> Maraschino Cherry! ::To Nickels::

Heather Jamieson -> :: To Kasuga :: What are we drinking?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Merlot. France, 2380 vintage

Capt Rian Kwai -> You don't look happy. ::looking over at the man drinking near happy:: I thought Risa was a happy place

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes a few more of the bon bons and moves to the bar to get a drink::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Very nice smoky aroma and slight oak flavor which compliments the bon bons quite well

Jameson Bardolph -> ::after a few thoughtful sips, pushes off from the bar and goes wandering back through the crowd, feeling sort of energized and restless::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yeah I know, its how you usually end up pregnant. So you drink and I'll stay sober.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'd also recommend the Chateau Picard 2382 Sauvignon.

Tory Knight -> ::returning her attention back to her PADD, reading an article in one of the latest physics journals::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea> Let's see...that one is cinnamon swirl. ::looking over the tray:: And that is...um...espresso. Oh and that one is hazelnut. And that one with the fun red pop of color is jujja berry

August Jax Robinson -> What's wrong with babies? ours are so cute

Jameson Bardolph -> ::comes to a halt near Tory's beach chair, leaning against a conveniently placed tree:: Hullo. ::cheerfully::

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks up to the bar:: A cola soda please.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Smiles at the server and orders a Red Merlot...bottle ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> We have enough.

Tory Knight -> ::blinking, looks up at Bardolph:: Ah, hello. And how are *you* this evening?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::orders the Picard Sauvignon bottle::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Blu's not here, so who know about the baby situation :D))

 

August Jax Robinson -> (w) we should have another ::winks::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>::moving around the room again, offering her tray now and then::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Oh yeah? ::hugs her::

Jameson Bardolph -> Sanguine, for the moment. ::raises his beer in a mock-toast and then takes a sip:: Yourself?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Finishes her glass:: yeah

Christina_Nickles -> :: gets her drink from the bartender and finds a table to sit at to enjoy the bon bons and her cola::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'll think about it.

Tory Knight -> ::pauses, pursing her lips as she considers her response:: Relaxed. ::holds up her PADD:: Catching up on my reading.

Christina_Nickles -> :: watching the others::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::grins:: The party that dull? Just got here, m'self...haven't pegged it yet. ::jerks his head towards the bar:: Anything I can grab ya?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Sits near Christina and Heather and enjoys her wine and other foodstuffs she had acquired from passing waiters an waitresses::

Tory Knight -> ::shakes her head:: No, thank you. And not that dull, just... not exactly what you would call my scene.

Tory Knight -> Kent> Aye, Risa is a very happy place. When you get to stay.

Christina_Nickles -> :: turns to Ayumu:: You think it will only be a few more days?? I mean us being green?

Heather Jamieson -> :: The taste of sweet wine, cherries and peaches really grabs her attention ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> That's what I was told yeah. I think Dr. Sen is working on something to return us to our normal colors.

Jameson Bardolph -> Fair enough. ::agreeably:: Not like we haven't seen a nice chunk of the Risan party scene by now anyway.

Christina_Nickles -> I hope so. Being green is embarrassing. I keep getting funny looks from guys.. Id rather be myself

Tory Knight -> ::chuckles:: A chunk I think I could do without. Or take in smaller doses. For now, I think I'll just enjoy...being me.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Well, they do say that absence makes your heart grow fonder ::watching the group::

Ayumu Kasuga -> So would I to be honest. People are always chuckling at me and pointing at me behind my back

Heather Jamieson -> :: Pours some more ::

August Jax Robinson -> are we spending the night here, or going back to the ship?

Tory Knight -> Kent> ::a faint smile flickers across his lips:: Right. And so... until tomorrow... ::hefts his remaining half-pint in a toast::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I don’t know, lets just see where we pass out at

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::shakes her head, raises an imaginary drink before spying the bon bon tray:: Oooh, chocolate.

Christina_Nickles -> The pointing doesn't bother me as bad as the comments, I have heard. I wanted to stay on the ship instead of come down tonight but Orders are orders

 

Tory Knight -> Kent> ::chuckles:: Squirrel?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Huggles Will::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::smiles faintly:: Yeah. Bit of a change, that. Like we're half-meeting all over again. ::rubs the back of his neck thoughtfully:: Almost did a double-take in the mirror this morning after the doc fixed me up. Maybe I got a bit too into the part.

Ayumu Kasuga -> That is true. It's not like they've never seen a green woman before! heesh...

Tory Knight -> ::expression echoes his:: Undercover for a long period of time... I can understand that.

Christina_Nickles -> :: eats another bon bon::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'd like to give some of them a good punch in the back of the head, but I'm probably in enough trouble as it is.

Tory Knight -> Though I suspect that our attitudes bled through our alter egos.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Listens for any music or something she recognizes ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Music> ::Bieber.> Whoa whoa whoa whoa.......::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Escuse me? ::raises a brow looking around for a squirrel::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::shakes head:: I reckon Han's what I woulda been if the Fleet hadn't found me first.

Christina_Nickles -> I know I feel the same way but Ive already had to paint the brig, I dont want to try for the holodecks. or worse

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs another drink since Bieber is singing::

Ayumu Kasuga -> My luck, I'd be joining Lt Grey in Waste Processing.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::Frowns at the music::

Tory Knight -> And Leia... ::shrugs a shoulder:: Likely not much difference, actually -- in uniform or out. ::pauses:: Erm, perhaps I should say, in Starfleet or out.

Christina_Nickles -> Ya Our team still has that meeting with the admiral since we did so poorly in the training.

Tory Knight -> I'm a bit of a late bloomer. ::wry grin:: ::referring to her advanced age for her entry into the academy and her rank::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::catching her choice of words, gives a mischievous sort of grin::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Boo hooo

Christina_Nickles -> Either the admiral or the captain. Im not sure who was iin charge of it but Im afraid of them both

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL mention her and here she comes))

August Jax Robinson -> {{Blluuuu}}

Capt Rian Kwai -> Vea>::circulating the room with a fresh tray of chocolates::

Ayumu Kasuga -> As am I. I should move to Canada

STSF_BluRox -> (Evening all, sorry am late, they had to deice the plane again before we could take off)

Jameson Bardolph -> Well, it's been a pleasure to meet both of you. ::chuckles::

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes a few more bon bons when offered::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Overhears Christina :: I'm supposed to train with Will at some point about all of this. Jax will like that.. :: Sips some more ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Heh

 

Tory Knight -> And you. Here I was, afraid I wouldn't make any friends. ::chuckling:: I suppose I should be thankful for the mission.

August Jax Robinson -> ::has had enough to drink, dances a little with the Music..... as Will stands still::

Christina_Nickles -> :: sighs:: how long have you served under him? Is he a hard trainer?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sort of dances::

Heather Jamieson -> :: She'll get up and dance with the right amount of wine and the right music ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Welcome back Blu))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Christina :: To be honest I don't have a clue.

STSF_BluRox -> @ :: deep in discussions with Admiral Calvert over her future and the :

STSF_BluRox -> ((thanks))

Jameson Bardolph -> Hey, likewise. ::smiles:: You've got one now, I hope.

Ayumu Kasuga -> But then what do they expect out of me? I'm the Helm/Operations Officer. I drive the ship, I answer comms, I make sure the shields are up in battle.... my job is me sitting in the bridge monitoring the ship's systems. I have absolutely *zero* training in covert ops.

Tory Knight -> I'd like to think so.

Heather Jamieson -> :: laughs at Kasuga :: You're tellin' me.. Stellar cartographic and astrogation... not a lot of spy vs spy there.

Christina_Nickles -> ::frowns:: Im Security. I should have known better and not allowed us to get caught in the first place.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Starts swaying ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::takes a sip of her drink, carefully surveying the group::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Places her hand on Christina's shoulder :: I think the best thing to do is... is just plow forward. Get though whatever training they throw at us and move beyond.

Tory Knight -> Kent> ::chuckles:: Sorry. Inside joke.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::nods slowly, satisfied:: ::looks down at his drink and then shakes his head as if to clear it before taking another long sip::

Tory Knight -> ::grins:: Feeling your hops?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Heh.. I'm the one monitoring the away team.... not being a part of it! ::Drinks her wine angrily::

Christina_Nickles -> I’m going to get me another soda anyone want anything?

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'll have another glass of wine.

Christina_Nickles -> ::stands::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Thank you.

Jameson Bardolph -> Maybe a wee bit. ::chuckles:: I think they make it stronger on Risa. And I haven't eaten yet...better go in search of the little pastry things they seem to be handing out.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Christina :: Some water please,,

Capt Rian Kwai -> I take it it's not something you'd like to share.

Christina_Nickles -> :: moves up to the bar:: Another soda, another glass of wine and a water please

Heather Jamieson -> :: To Kasuga :: I'm sure after not getting the Admiral killed on the flight down to Risa I can fly the ship,

Tory Knight -> Kent> Eh, just... hard to explain.

Christina_Nickles -> ::looks to see who the Captain is talking to and gathers the drinks she ordered.::

Tory Knight -> ::swinging her legs, to stand:: Perhaps you need something a bit more than just pastries. Care to join me for dinner?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Heh... flying the ship isn't all that hard. So long as you pay attention to where you're going.

Christina_Nickles -> :: sets the drinks down:: Here you go

Ayumu Kasuga -> Thank you. ::To Christina::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Smiles widely :: Thanks Christina.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Finishes her drink::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::looks a bit surprised, then grins:: Love to.

STSF_BluRox -> @:: takes another sip of her drink:: Seriously, you want us to do what now?

Christina_Nickles -> :: sits back down::
