= While Manticore is being fixed, cleaned and pampered, the crew enjoys shore leave on Risa. Thanks to Faldek's generosity, the crew devolved into depravity that resulted in the two resident Vulcans becoming intoxicated on chocolate. Later, the Captain invited the crew to gather for a casual dinner that where everyone was surpisingly well behaved. Now they continue their slothing about on the planet. = starfleet

:: taking a morning stroll on the beach ::

::heads down to the lobby area of the hotel::

::with KK in their room

:: (edited)

::breathes in the sea air as she strolls along the beach::

:: Searches for Erich outside the resort ::

::Finds himself having fallen in with some kind of yoga class on a beach. He didn't mean to join in but didn't know how to politely refuse the offer::

:: looking out the window of his room, towards the beach ::

::tnip:: I think a nice sauna trip would do well...

::casually walking along the sand::

::having a Kosst Amojan study the bar tender; The book has the Kosst Amojan symbol but is his interrpetation of what might be written in the real book::

:: wearing a sunhat and shades...swimwear with a blouse and purse...pure tourist look ::

Erich! :: She yelled, cupping her hand to project her voice ::

::heads to the sauna::

::has his feet on the rug on the beach, and his hands on the sand in front of it. He tries to bring his right hand and left leg to each other behind his back. He wobbles just attempting to move his limbs and falls over three times before the instructor moves on to something else::

::sends out a message to the people on Risa asking if they want to enjoy the heat with him::

1

((::Forwards the message to HR for sexual harassment::))

::dressed in her swimsuit with a blouse over it, about ankle deep in the cool water::

:: Spies him up on a wooded hill, grunts then goes to join him ::

::enters the sauna area and strips down and puts on a towel, going into the hot room. Once inside he turns the heat up a little to Cardassia standards.::

Annika....can we move here?

::Pretty sure they are trying to do a headstand. That's not happening anytime soon! Bran keeps his head on the sand and pretends he's trying to get his legs into the air::

::smiles:: Sure, why the hell not?

Bartender> The reckoning will be a glorious event.....

Oh that's nice... very nice. ::lays down next to the hot rocks::

::still in bed; snuggles up with Kansas:: So what else were you wanting to do today? (edited)

You’d make a great roomie, Calli

Why thank you!!! :: swishes water with her feet ::

:: makes his way down to the beach, wearing more Vulcan-ish clothing as he goes for a walk in the heat ::

:: Makes it to Erich :: There you are. Why are you up here?

Hmm... Oh! I saw there was a Tellerite archery class happening. I think that would be fun.

I wanted to get away from people without renting a boat to head to the middle of the sea.

::smiles, walking alongside::

What makes it different from Human archery?

Your gift...

My curse. :: chuckles ::

Bartender> :: cleans his bar while checking his contact list for the next Kosst Amojan study group ::

I don't know. I'm hoping it's deadlier. ::she says with almost a growl in her voice::

::laughs:: of course you are.

There’s nothing like a nice long walk on the beach.

Relaxing..and Oh my I am getting much needed sun.....

Indeed it will, brother. Soon, the Bajoran people will come to know the true saving power of the Pah Wraiths. And those blasphemous Prophets will get what they deserve. ::pats him on the shoulder::

Yes, as am I, getting too pale for my own good.

Barkeeper>I wanted to ask you something brother...should...the Glory of the Pah Wraiths be only preached to our people...or ...should we prepare for the Reckoning with all races in mind?

::hears her PADD buzz, answers it:: Hello?

::puts on a bikini and a little strapless dress to go over it; looks at the recreation guide to see when the class starts:: ...Hurry up! It's almost started.

:: looks at Annika reaching for her Comm::

21:22

Snyder> Hello This is Max, I met you at the hotel and discussed a possible project with yourself and Callista here on Risa to Showcase a New Swimwear line by the Baymax Corporation.

::moves over closer to Calli so she can hear:: Hmm ::glances at Calli:L. I’d be willing, if you were.

Snyder>+ Annika + I was curious if you had come to a decision...

::sluggishly gets out of bed and throws on whatever was nearby to cover himself; follows KK down the lift and wherever this archery class is::

Ah that. If there’s a possibility to do it part time then maybe. I am still obligated to my ship and crew.

:: stops :: Hmm....well as long as this is on your terms....I'm game.

Sure. ::smiles and shrugs::

Snyder + Annika + Oh Miranda completely understands your prior commitments it would be an afternoon shoot on a North Beach...

Oh.. OK. Yeah, that should be ok then.

We preach to everyone. The love of the Pah Wraiths extend beyond Bajor. In time, the entire galaxy will know their love, some their power. But we must spread the word, so that when they return, their loyal army will be waiting.

::holds a plank for a surprising amount of time::

SNyder> + Annika +We could pick you up at your hotel....and your associates

Nice.. ok’

Snyder> + Annika + Excellent...we'll look forward to seeing you and thank your for work with Baymax. :: ends Call ::

::sits up::

21:28

::gets this ominous feeling, like a disturbance in the Force::

I hope they have a bar...

That sounds fun.. I hope we can get some more cool swimsuits or something out of it. ::giggle:: I hope so too.

::runs up with Matt in tow; signs up just before the class starts; is handed a bow and a quiver of arrows::

Barkeep> Well....I shall not hesitate to encourage the tourists to visit the shrine of the Pah Wraiths on the hill.. :: grins ::

:: Is still walking down the path beside the beach ::

::leaves the sauna, getting dressed again in his board shorts and hawaiian style shirt::

::looks at the items they hand KK:: ...This... this looks exactly like human archery.

Shut up. Let's go.

Maybe...whatever bargaining power you have. :: happily smiles :: We should let Beran know....he is our ...well security in a way.

::heads out, his Spidey Sense still tingling::

::Nods:: yes, yes let’s

You want me to call him...I feel I should be your secretary for this...hehe....

Maybe he can negotiate a better deal for us. He was kinda our manager or agent or whatever. ::nods to Calli:: Please. (edited)

:: kicks some water playfully ::

It's alright that you are here Gila.

+ Faldek + Tyrel to Faldek

+Tyrel+ Faldek here, everything ok?

:: holding her comm in her hand while looking at Annika with a smiile and admiring the view ::

::smiles back, listening in::

Yes, please do. ::grabs the bartender's ear checking his pagh:: The Pah Wraiths will bless you for your devotion. ::smiles::

Oh very well... Can Annika and I meet you at the Hotel pool....in a bit? We are on the beach...We have a proposal for you....

::listening to the instructor; when she shoots, she hits the bullseye every time::

+Tyrel+ A proposal... right. I'll be there shortly.

+ Faldek + Thank you Beran...we will be there shortly.

::heads off towards the hotel, and the pool:: +Tyrel+ No problem, Faldek out. (edited)

:: closes her COMM ::

::heads to the pool with Calli::

::impressed by KK's skill:: That's amazing! You've hit on target every time. You must be a professional.

It's my first time.

1

:: walks towards the hotel from the beach :: You know who would get a kick out of this...would be Violet....But I am not sure if Erich or Gila would let her come..

You're lying.

Nope. I've fired a lot of weapons before but not arrows.

::He smiles at her:: Well, you're quite the natural.

Erich, where is Violet?

::giggles:: That’s true.

Still in her room. :: he looked at a device on his wrist :: Still sleeping.

:: holds door open for Annika ::

::nods and heads inside::

::enters the pool area::

I will say, while your execution is flawless, your technique could use some touching up. ::he walks over to her and stands behind her; he lifts her back elbow and bends her other just slightly::

We should negotiate an allowance of a guest....although..do you think New Fashion is not yet meant to be seen by anyone. Maybe they might get security conscious...

Like this? ::smiles as she hits the bullseye again but this time in exactly the same spot::

As in Faldek? They already know him.

Oh I meant Violet...

21:41

:: walks though lobby to Pool area ::

Ooh! I see. I doubt they’d get too conscious over a young teenager, no? But then, I’m not sure.

::spots Annika and Callista coming out from the lobby, approaches::

Cute Bajoran Bartender> :: talks Bajoran lore and Pah Wraiths to tourists...handing out literature in his own more subtle way ....:::

:: Looks out the window of her room at the pool ::

Hi Beran, can we grab a table....

Hello

Yes, excellent. But you don't need to be so aggressive. Here let me show you. ::He wraps his arms around her and helps hold and guide the bow; then he pulls her hand back with his pulling the string of the bow with the arrow:: Don't let go just yet, take a second. Breath and let it--

::walks up to KK and the instructor; he clears his throat very loudly::

Ladies. Sure... ::snatches up a table, pulls out two chairs, then takes a seat himself::

( if the archery instructor makes a pass.....)

1

21:44

:: sits down looking like a tourist in her swim/beach attire ::

::is startled by McFly and prematurely lets go of the arrow and knocks the bow off course sending the arrow flying into the water::

::sits next to Calli::

So! ...This is Tellerite archery, eh?

Someone got a visit from the fashion company.....:: smiles looking at Annika ::

:: Opens the window and waves to Annika, but unsure if she sees ::

You mentioned that last night.

Yeah! It's pretty fun. The teacher here was just showing me how to get a better hold of the bow. Until SOMEONE came sneaking over. ::she says playfully and with a smile::

Yeah, we got an offer from Betamax guy to do some modelling gigs, this afternoon at North Beach ::waves back at Violet:: He called again about a half hour ago.

::folds his arms and glares at the instructor:: Is that what he was doing?

Ah. Have they mentioned any terms?

Not sure, what kinda compensation they’d offer. Which was why we thought to contact you about it.

Baymax..the same guys who needed us on DS9. Uh......terms?

:: Shrugs :: Ah well. Breakfast.

:: waves at Violet ::

Yeah like last time you paid and got to keep certain items of clothing...

Ah yes....the dresses and nice swimsuits.

and a nice sleepwear set

I like to get close and personal with the people I teach here. This may be a free course but I get joy when they walk away being able to do something they've never done before.

:: Waves again :: I'm having eggs!

::is quiet::

:: Moves closer to Erich ::

There's more classes if you'd like to sign up.

I'm good.

Shall I assume you'd like me to negotiate the newest contract?

::nods:: We’d appreciate something favourable for us.

:: gives a quick thumbs up to Violet ::

Oh you know I'll get you the best deal on Risa. I want some Tholian silk slippers...

Also ...I...we... feel a bit safer with you around keeping an eye on things

Well considering the last time it was a show for a notoriously bad Ferengi, I can understand that.

Yes. ::nods::

::see's that glint in Matt's eye; smirks:: Well if you don't mind, I'd like to continue my class. ::she looks Matt dead in the eye, smirking::

:: Closes his eyes and enters Gila's mind ::

I wonder what galaxy class criminals they'll have around this time...

Eri-

I’m still glad he didn’t recognize us from the first time…

That might be enough archery for today.

There's only a few minutes left.

That makeup they used on us worked wonders (edited)

I think you would have been fine without it.

See, only a few minutes. And then he can teach you. ::her smirk is turning into a big grin::

:: smiles :: well....

I suppose so. ::smiles:: His gaze wasn’t exactly fixated on our faces…

:: The hillside scene morphs into another place, another time. A door to a rustic home lays before them ::

I don't think we are going to get paid for this....there was something he talked about regarding starfleet recruiting department using some of the images...

Oh trust me, you'll be getting paid.

::goes back to putting his arms around her and "showing her how to hold the bow"::

but I got the impression we would get some clothes out of the event.

Where am I? Where are we?

yeah, he wanted me to pose to help boost Starfleet’s recruitment drive. But, yes we would appreciate if we were compensated for our time.

21:55

And service to STarfleet

Kinda wanted to see if we could take Violet with us...I think she would kinda enjoy this.

My childhood home. Another time, another place.

::grabs KK's hand:: Yeah I think we're done. ::takes the bow; tosses it on the check in table then walks up the beach with KK::

I am not a babysitter...

::chuckles::

:: looks to Annika then back to Beran :: Do we look like babies?

::laughs; stops him on the beach and puts her arms around his neck and kisses him:: ...Jealous much?

I come here often to...take a break from life on the ship

However that girl can take care of herself if she gets into a bind.

You didn't see what he was trying--

How am I here?

I was referring to Violet.

yeah, more than I would…

:: laughs :: I'm gifted.::

Of course....:: smiles back at Beran ::

I know exactly what he was doing. ::still laughing::

Mhmm... I'm not amused.

Oh the contact's name is Snyder...Max Snyder.. :: shows " card " to Faldek ::

Well I sure am. ::kisses him again; then takes him by the arm and continues walking together up the beach::

::pulls out his PADD and runs a check through the Starfleet database::

Does he like his martini, shaken or stirred?

Cute Bajoran Barkeeper> :: encourages tourists to visit the Shrine of the Pah wraiths ::

Come on. I'll make it up to you with some lunch and those little girly drinks you like.

Two girly drinks.

Of course.

Seems legit.

Don't know we will find out in several hours.

Well I don't know what you guys were doing but I had fun.

Talking to yourself all night

I thought the Archery instructor was going to get gutted.

It was fun. Working on a side hustle

It's the easiest narritive when I can control everything.

I need to depart folks...I will cya next week!\

As a side note, I’ll be away June 19th on vacation. Will return the following week.

Later Calli

22:03

Two weeks. So was that a show you guys were planning? Does that need to happen next week?

No?

22:03

(Not sure)

Calli's already gone so I don't know what she was planning with that.

We’ll see what we can do

Alright, well, TBS... A couple of hours? Mid afternoon? Sound good?

Sound good

Alright then.

22:04

Questions or Comments?

Nope

If nothing then I leave you with an old Vulcan proverb... "Never trust archery instructors" ...DISMISSED!!! (edited)

Goodnight!
