= 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 another evening rolls in and the crew does what they gon do. = starfleet

:: lounging at a bar at the hotel after a full day at North Beach ::

((Bren!))

((I'll need details!))

((You're playing Space Harem and you're covered in paint. That requires explanation.))

::walks up to the same bar Cali is at and the bartender hands him his drink before he even orders it because Matt has ordered it that frequently::

::walks up behind the Captain, all quiet like:: So, how ya feeling?

::walking up to the frequented bar and nods to the bartender:: Hello there! (edited)

Hello EJ! :: waves from Bar ::

::Jumps:: Damn your obsidian foot steps! ::sips his drink:: I'm still sore.

You're lucky the photographer didn't catch your mishaps...

::grumbles::

It was quite comical, from my point of view.

:: Is somewhere, not at the bar yet ::

:: looka at her arm ...noting an acquired tan from the photo shoot ::

Glad you're amused. ::walks away sipping his drink::

:: Gila, Violet, and Erich are out on the patio of the hotel ::

::nods to Calli:: Hey there!

::in his room, reviewing his medical tricorder scans of the Captain from after his mishaps::

::follows McFly::

:: sips a drink while reading a PADD ::

:: Looking off into the distance ::

Are you alright Erich?

Yeah, yeah. Just the noise of the distance.

::goes to sit down at a table::

Was that your first time power boarding Matt?

1

Maybe, I can't remember.

::Wanders a building which could be a church... or a library.... not sure yet::

I should think not. After you skipped on top of the water like a rock.

::to the Bartender:: Tequila Sunrise and your finest Chicken Wings!

I heard you even crashed into the shop?

The board crashed into the shop, I just happened to be holding it when it did. ::takes another sip::

::makes some notes in PADD while reviewing medical tricorder scans::

::stifles a chuckle::

21:19

::takes a seat:: Well, did you at least get checked out by medical personnel?

Ah a Klingon must have his meat!....Those chickens don't stand a chance. :: smiles ::

::klingonic grin:: Indeed...they...do not.

::sighs:: I think Tevek scanned me as I walked by.

::stops a waiter and orders a bottle of the blue kanar::

:: Makes his way towards the bar after a long walk ::

Well, I think the photo shoot with Sorensen and Tyrel went well.

::Having picked up a book or two to see their contents (most have unlabeled bindings), he is quickly surrounded by people. Aaaaaangry people. Turns out this was an art installation opening in two days and the artist insists Bren has completed mangled their local concept of feng shui::

2

;; reads her PADD on happenings in the local scene.....::

::looks over to a table and sees Faldek and the Captain:: (w) Hopefully nothing crazy happened.

So when are you leaving the ship to be a space model?

2

Not me, them. I specifically told them not to image me.

1

21:24

I also checked the holoimagers afterwards.

I think the captain had a minor incident involving a water craft. :: looks :: He seems okay.

::Well, it does explain why they were unlabeled. Vocalizing this realization out loud does not win him any favors with the artist, her staff, or the gallery staff::

:: turns the page on the local scene and spots a holo image labeled good times....centered around a Cardassian in a Pink Tholian Suit...that looks familiar..::

1

That's unfortunate. I thought the new career suited you. ::sips his drink::

:: smiles briefly and scrolls the page ::

1

You jest.

::looks at Tyrel:: Oh!

Only moderately.

Yeah...I thought that look would get him attention...but....the photo is buried in a slew of tourist photos...

:: Quietly enters the bar, stopping to order a glass of Vulcan Brandy ::

::takes a sip of his drink and picks up his food:: I will go over and check on him.

((for the record I wasn't wearing the tholian suit, and it is not pink!))

1

:: scrolls and sees a large image of herself and Annika at the beach from earlier in the trip ::....Oh dear.....

::finishes reviewing scan results, packs tricorder and PADD in to medikit, and exits room to head to the bar after determining that is where the Captain is::

::moves over to the table where McFly and Faldek are::

EJ. ::nods::

::nods:: Beran.

:: noticing Harnett she stands and walks over to him ::

Pilot. How's things?

:: The three of them spoke and ate as the night progressed ::

::the waiter finally shows up with the bottle of blue Kanar and puts it on the table with a glass, he puts the glass back on the waiters tray:: No need for that...

:: Takes a seat, lifting his glass, hearing foot steps ::

::looks to the Captain:: All is well. I was just checking in on you. Heard about the spill. I am sure the sand hurts more than you.

May I join you Lieutenant? :: politely asks Harnett ::

::takes a deep breath:: It didn't feel good

:: Nods :: Of course, Lieutenant Tyrel.

::taking a seat at the table:: As long as you don't feel like you're about to die. I hope you will make a full recovery.

::catches the waiter before he leaves; orders a large ass plate of an Earth delicacy::

::enters the hotel bar and looks around for the Captain::

Maybe I should take a shuttle and get away from it all.

I'm still waiting for Kansas but no one said we can't indulge in pre-dinner-dinner.

:: in her casual beach attire she takes a seat :: How can I address you minus the rank Harnett?

::takes a big swig from the bottle::

::chuckles:: True.

21:32

::sips his drink and semi-devours a chicken wing::

I'm going to have to order a few cases of this for my private stock.

::the waiter returns with a large tray of buffalo wings and sits them in the middle of the table:: We shall destroy this for the glory of the Federation.

:: places an order for a beverage :: Care for anything?

Risa kanar is the best kanar, eh?

:: Raised an eyebrow, setting his glass down as he thought for a moment :: Well, you may call me Thomas, if you like...

::looks at Beran:: I have an order on the way to the station to loaded on the ship once we return.

Well this is from Cardassia but with the war raging with them and the Klingons, I should assume it'll be harder to get in the near future.

We'll be the most well stocked ship in the fleet!

::spots the Captain and Commander Faldek and walks over to where they are sitting::

:: Lifts his glass :: I just ordered, but thank you. :: Takes a sip of the Vulcan brandy :L

Dr Tevek 12 oclock.

::Getting a running start, Bren grabs a bundle of loose cables, exactly the right length to swing him to safety three floors below, onto the roof of a bar. As long as he can stick the landing-ish it should be fine, then down the visible stairwell down to terra firma (Risa firma?) During the descent and swing it's almost as if dramatic music plays. Bren sticks said landing, hops over the 2' fence "preventing" access to the roof, and into a little cubbyhole information kiosk. Once he steps into the kiosk, the program ends and Bren leaves the holosuite he rented for an hour to hide from the artist and crew::

Thomas I am Callista...I don't think we've chatted since you came aboard...maybe briefly ship shop work...

((Looking forward to Indy 5, Bren?

))

((Also, I had unpaused the game I'm playing when I got back to my desk, and proceeded to ignore it in favor of the sim for 35 minutes, so now I have a lot of pissed off imaginary crewpeople too))

1

Beran, what does kanar taste like exactly? I guess the kind you're drinking there.

Captain McFly

((Looking forward to Indy 5, Bren?

))

((I'm not sure you can unjump the shark. Or, nuke the fridge, to use the other variant which is obviously muuuuuch more relevant))

1

We don't get out much do we? :: takes a sip from her beverage that was delivered ::

:: Set his glass down :: Yes, briefly during ship work...it is agreeable to finally chat with you, Callista.

21:39

:: Nods :: Indeed, we do not.

Why don't you take a slug and find out, everyone has different tastes. It is made from fermented fish juice I believe.

1

Doctor! Sit, drink, have a wing!

Are buffalo wings made from buffalo?

I just wanted to say....something regarding the crew night party....I did not approve of the experiment to make you...intoxicated from consuming chocolate. That was in my minds stupid.

::accepts the bottle and takes a swig and examines the taste::

::Makes it to the bar with the rest of the crew::

::swallows:: It is an acceptable concoction.

::nods:: Thank you, Captain. ::takes a seat:: I believe I shall pass on the wings, however, a Vulcan Brandy would be agreeable.

I cannot say the same for blood wine.

They're actually made from chicken, but it's understandable how so many make that assumption.

:: Sighs slightly :: That was not one of my.... best moments....

:: sets her PADD down briefly ::

::nods:: it is a klingon's drink. But I am only half klingon so I like to try new things as the human side of me would show.

::calls over the waiter and orders Tevek a Vulcan Brandy:: (edited)

::takes another large drink of the Kanar::

I just want to say....you should not feel pressured to do anything just because you joined Starfleet.. Honestly I thought that kind of behavior by others was something done at the undergraduate level. :: frowns :: It angered me...I realize anger is a sediment you do not feel...

Some might say we have a problem...

::nods:: Thank you, Captain.

21:45

Captain, I was wondering, how have you been feeling since your mishap on the water earlier today?

Captain McFly

They're actually made from chicken, but it's understandable how so many make that assumption.

::Looks at the Captain:: Actually it's an Earth regionalism, they have to be chickens from the old region on Earth called Buffalo, to be Buffalo wings.

Sore and annoyed but otherwise intact.

::chuckles a bit at Tevek's question, as McFly might start getting annoyed from the constant asking::

::to McFly:: Well good thing we have doctors here. Maybe give you something for the pain.

Tevek, I have seen Matt here get into way worse scrapes with Tribbles.

::sips his tequila sunrise while finishing the wings he brought to the table::

if you ever need someone to ....socialize with responsibly....I am..available..

I am relieved that you are intact, sir. ::off of Pilot's comment:: Indeed, I was wondering if perhaps it would be beneficial if I gave you a hypospray for the pain?

:: Raised an eyebrow :: I am half Human.... sometimes I can be hard to keep that side of myself under control.... and as for anger, I do feel it from time to time, I just do my best to keep it under control. Thank you, Callista.

::his head swings back and forth hearing Bren but not seeing him; finally he looks behind and see's Bren:: Chief! You slippery tadpole. You scared me. Have a wing! One day we'll try real buffalo wings once we find a winged buffalo.

::raises eyebrow at Faldek and makes a mental note to ask about the Captain's Tribble scrapes later::

I'm sure one can be engineered with wings...

Oh...I did not know you were half human....I am...well full human....:: chuckles briefly ::

::looks at Pilot:: I have all the medicine I need right here. ::sips his drink::

No wild beasts on the ship.

21:50

::taps McFly's glass with his own:: I hear that. (edited)

Group of Culturally Offended Artists armed with implements of Art> :: scouring the resort looking for Bren ::

::off the Captain's comment:: Indeed, sir...Well, if you change your mind, you know how to reach me.

DId you human family get you interested in Starfleet or your....Vulcan Family?

Appreciated, Doc. You're always welcome to slip me some experimental hypos if you're in the mood. I won't say no.

:: Takes a sip from his glass :: My Father was a Starfleet Captain, my Mother was a Vulcan scientist.... both led me to the path of Starfleet

::looks at McFly:: No experimental hypos.

That's for the doctor to decide.

::looks at Pilot, shaking his head::

Dad was the main pusher to get me into fleet, he saw in me as a kid one who..took things apart and put them back together type girl I guess.. I think also some of it was my Mom wanted me in the Tourism industry ...why I have no idea.

::raises an eyebrow:: Current Starfleet Medical regulations do not allow experimental medication research to be conducted on commanding officers of starships. However, I will keep you informed if those regulations change, sir.

1

Much abliged.

::to McFly:: True. Hopefully you don't turn into a gelatinous blob.

::samples a buffalo wing::

Eat up, they taste like chicken.

Hot chicken. If I recall correctly.

Captain McFly

::his head swings back and forth hearing Bren but not seeing him; finally he looks behind and see's Bren:: Chief! You slippery tadpole. You scared me. Have a wing! One day we'll try real buffalo wings once we find a winged buffalo.

::Accepts the wing:: Thank you. That was a story told to me during my six month stay at Starfleet Academy for the "Welcome exchange officer, here's how to wear your uniform" thing. I believed it for longer than I care to admit... ::chomp wing::

::looks at his fingers:: They are very messy... ::looking around for a napkin::

Depends on the sauce but most of the time yes.

::sips his Vulcan brandy::

::orders another tequila sunrise, a bit more dirty this time::

:: Nods :: I was always taking things apart and putting them back together, usually with the help of my twin brother....

Dad did not want me to be a cruise director....:: smiles briefly returining to her drink ::

21:59

Oh wow you too...Surprised you are not engineer... :: animated a bit ::

These are not hot. Just messy... ::wipes off his fingers with a napkin::

Don't feel too bad chief, a lot of people don't know buffalo's don't have wings. Even some that were raised on Earth.

((Red bull gives you wings))

I was, until I left Starfleet for the Vulcan Science Academy....

22:01

I must depart...thanks for the fun this week!

((later Calli!))

Alright, so third night of vacation down. You guys ready to get back to work or keep going with shore leave?

Back to work.

Later Cali

22:02

That's one for work. Anyone else?

Work!

Alright well I guess we'll just all do what Pilot wants... Oh there's Faldek. Two for work.

1

22:03

I see people are typing

I vote Shore Leave just to be contrary

1

((Need to get my cases of blood wine on the ship and Beran's Blue Kanar))

I guess work then...

I'm good with work.

Lt.JG Harnett

I guess work then...

No! Stand firm, comrade!

1

Sorry Bren, you're getting out voted.

1

Fair enough

Alright, Despite Bren's best efforts next week we'll be leaving Risa.

Best efforts? BEST efforts? Oh, oh ho ho no.

1

You can just magic edit the last part of the week...

((Place your orders for delivery to the ship today!))

1

TBS will be four days and we'll be leaving Risa and heading back to the ship.

22:06

Hopefully it's been repaired by now.

22:06

Questions or Comments?

All good here.

Nope. Time to get back to the Sieges.

What if its in worse shape???

Then Erich will have a lot of work to do.

If it is, we will beat the people responsible.

Or that

I like that idea

We've had that reservation for 5 months. All hands on deck for our repair! We get priority!

let out some Vulcan rage!!!!

1

I am of course being silly. I have no idea what the arrangements were.

22:08

I am out of here. Later folks!

Ooh, sounds like more Vulcan experiments!

22:08

Alright, if nothing else then remember, buffalos don't have wings so don't ask where we get the meat from... DISMISSED!!!

Goodnight and good week all yall

Night!

Night folks!
