USS Manticore - Mondays 10 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Captain McFly, (XO) Kansas Kenickie

Between 12/30/2024 9:04 PM and 12/30/2024 10:11 PM

So I was given the suggestion of making this endeavor one of those team building exercise trips. I figured that could help for those that don't want to be on the planet and why vulcans would willingly participate.

9:05 PM

Wherever we are that the moment is here.

9:06 PM

One more thing, if anyone comes up with a weird, twisted idea you think might be going on in the dark underbelly of Disney that you want to pass my way feel free to slip me a DM.

9:06 PM

Alright, let's get started.

here I am!

U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1302 STARDATE 52412.30

After loss and near destruction, Manticore is receiving a well needed repair while her crew enjoys shore leave... TO DISNEY WORLD... And by that we mean it's an entire planet dedicated to Disney.

::in a swimsuit, lounging by the pool with a girly fruity drink in her hand::

::walks into the park with KK; it's so... magical!::

I don't think a planet like this can handle me

((So are we all together or..?))

I don't think any planet can truly handle you, babe. Part of the reason they like having you on a starship.

::Sits in a T-shirt and swimtrunks, on a beach, reading documents on two PADDs, sitting under a giant sunbrella::

((We can walk in separately but let's meet up at the large statute of Walt and Mickey in the middle of the park.))

:: working just off the coast of the " Arctic Wilderness" Resort on the Planet :: The Beluga should be relaxing but continues to number crunch on his Cetacean Away Team Vest project ::

::Take McFly's hand:: I'll give it a go

::throwing a tantrum by flipping and splashing in the water; the kids think he's playing::

::finishes up eating with Harnett and EJ::

::exploring the ocean swimming with Inga, trying out the exotic fish that populate these waters::

::walking around near the entrance to the park, eyebrow nearly stuck in the raised position:: Fascinating...

::asking for his drink in a togo cup::

::Reads a sign:: What is dress up like a Disney Princess thing?

:: Wipes his hands with a serviette :: So, where is this statue of Walt Disney and Mickey the Mouse?

Well we should get going. Have to meet Tevek at the entrance.

::walks around the park, then sees the same "dress like a princess" sign ::: Oooh. I think I have the perfect dress for that.

# FOR THOSE WALKING INTO THE THEME PARK, THE AIR SMELLS OF SWEET BAKED GOODS AND CUTE JOYFUL MELODIES PLAY CONTINUOUSLY FROM HIDDEN SPEAKERS; CHILDREN OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE THAT CAN BREATHE OXYGEN, AND EVEN A FEW WHO CAN'T, RUN AROUND WITH EXCITEMENT SEEING COSTUMED MASCOTS IN REAL LIFE... OR, ARE THEY COSTUMED... THAT'S NOT A REAL GIANT MOUSE IS IT?

::changes back into a t-shirt , shorts and sandals then goes back to read the sign::

::gets up and heads to the entrance that Tevek is loitering around::

::goes to explore the park::

::follows Beran::

:: Follows Faldek ::

I think this place scares me

::staring at the giant mouse, wishing he had his medical tricorder with him to double-check its lifesigns::

:::Hurries up to catch up with McFly:::

::sees the sign KK is looking at:: Uh, I think that means you dress up like a princess from olden times.

::waves at a bunch of little girls pointing at her:: I don't even need a dress... ::looks at a list of rides and stuff in the themepark::

::Smiles:: with no holodeck?

::has completed 5% of the annual required training for supervisors on not harassing employees::

::sips his raktajino and eats one of his snack cakes::

::pats KK on the arm:: I know, honey. The scary thing you're seeing is called joy.

::orders a ratkajino from a food stall::

9:18 PM

::approaches the entrance and spots Tevek, who sticks out like a sore thumb::

I think there's a few holograms, but yeah, it's definitely not a holodeck.

::spots Tevek, waves to our fearless Doctor::

:: Also spots Tevek :: Greetings, Doctor.

Fairy Godmother in Training> :: sprinkles "Pixie Dust " on little girls dressed as Princesses ::

::spots Faldek and his other crewmates and nods and walks towards them:: Greetings all.

::waves at Tevek:: Hello!

:: Nods to Tevek::

we need to meet up with the others... dresss-up will have to wait

You mean that princess dress-up thing? I kinda want to do that too...

Apparently we are supposed to meet up with the Captain at the big statue of Walk Disney and Mickey Mouse. Also hello Tevek.

::sips on drink and eats another one of his snack cakes from the sack:: These are quite delectable.

Look there's Annika too.

::slaps Backpfeifengesicht with her tail:: You need to calm down sug. This wasn't my first choice for vacation either but there's not many places we can go.

Hello

:: taking picture of the stature of Walt and Mickey titled "The Creators " ::

::looks at the princess dress up thing, at what time it is starting:: (edited)

:: Looks around the area, eyebrow raised :: This place... is..

Nein! I vill NOT conform to zhe bipeds torture!

"magical"?

::to Hartnett:: Fascinating?

Fairy God Mother in Training> :: to Annika, Hello there traveler..and welcome. Are you or anyone in your family interested in becoming a magical princess?

:: Looks to Tevek. eyebrow raised :: Yes.

This is going to be hilarious.

Uhh... maybe? I saw that sign.

:: Looks at Faldek, eyebrow still raised ::

::looks at the Fairy God Mother in Training:: I think this one might... ::gestures to Thomas::

::Nods to Hartnett:: My conclusion as well, Lieutenant.

You'd look like a good princess too

Fairy God Mother in training> In ancient times we only offered this magical tranformation to our youngest guests, but now grownups can be transformed into royalty as well.

Hmm.

:: Looks to Tevek with a nod of agreement, then to the Fairy God Mother about Faldek's comment :: This man is mistaking... Ma'am. (edited)

:: listens to FGIT ::

and here i was just gonna buy Elsa's dress. (edited)

Farity God Mother in Training> Here is a brochure with Pricing. Our Taylorscan technology can find your sizes in a member of minutes!

Fascinating...the guests can become royalty? I should have read more about this planet's governemntal structure. ::pulls out a PADD with a guidebook on it::

:: walking along, but his mind was somewhere else ::

::finds Elsa's dress in the brochure, the blue one:: I'll take this one...

::Point at the Big Mouse:: I think we are going there

:: looks at the cost and what they can do :: Good grief.....

:: Looks to Tevek :: Doctor, I believe it is only for " Make believe ", or I should hope it is...

FGIT> Please step inside our adorable little shop for your scan!

# IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK IS THE "PARTNERS" STATUE, A BRONZE DEPICTION OF WALT DISNEY WALKING HAND IN HAND WITH HIS GREATEST CREATION, MIKEY MOUSE. IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO IT IS ANOTHER STATUTE, THE SAME WALT DISNEY BUT A MUCH LARGER FIGURE TOWERING OVER HIM HOLDING WALT'S HAND; THE INSCRIPTION ON THE PLAGUE READS "Former CEO Robert M. Eisger, who without his vision to create an entire world dedicated to Walt's dream, we would no longer exist."

::looks at Harnett:: It's definitely make believe.

::Steps into the shop for scanning::

::nods to Hartnett:: That would be...slightly more logical.

:: looks up ::

FGIT> :: directs Annika to a small booth :: Enter our magical chamber! No need to remove any attire!

Don't be too long Annika, gotta meet up at this statue soon.

ooph not an engineers salary...

OK. Sure. ::enters the chambers:: I won't be too long!

FGIT> :: Presses a button and the booth does a visual effect similar to a TOS transporter....but pink and purple colors , the scan takes only a two seconds ::

I got really into Earth's pop culture of the 21st century, so I know a bit about things like this.

As long as the food is good and plentiful, I am here for it.

it smells sweet here... right?

::standing with KK in front of the statue; reads the inscription:: Hmm, guy was a little full of himself, wasn't he.

FGIT> Allright! Please step outside to complete your magical transformation!

::Didn't realize it was considered offensive to ask whether a Vulcan's ancestors dealt with Pa'nar Syndrome. 7% done...::

::smells the air:: Mmm.

Sure, ::Steps outside::

::raises an eyebrow:: How did that become an interest of yours, Commander?

:: Raises an eyebrow at Faldek :: You know things about things like this?

everyone likes to make their mark somewhere

:: just watches Annika....who swears the girl must be a model ....::

It does. There's like food stalls all over the place. Makes sense.

Yes. things and stuff.

::looks at Annika:: You look quite beautiful Commander, I mean Princess.

Thanks, ::quietly:: You take FedAmex right? ::to FGIT::

Captain McFly

((Ugh, I can instantly hear this gif in my head.

))

(( Me too, my daughter has watched the move about 100 times. ))

FGIT> Would you be interested in an additional package for only 20% more. You would receive an additional " Snow Queen " Wand and a chance to ride Sven later during you vacation!

Sven? Oh the reindeer... not the orca... sure, why not? (edited)

FGIT> :: to the Klingon :: We also have knight Packages as well!

::Gets herself some ice cream:: Which island did we get a room at there were well over 1000 on the list

FGIT> Oh My...Sven is a Reindeer!!!!

I've been a knight... it was messy.

((I am the night! BatmanThink

))

Sure yeah

:: Looks at Faldek ::

9:34 PM

A knight, you?

::to FGIT:: Not at the moment, I will keep it in mind though.

I know another Sven. ::admires herself in the mirror:: Looks good.

FGIT> :: directs Annika to the Payment desk :: Your thumbprint here please...

Well kind of, it was a while back on a medieval planet.

::places thumbprint::

::listening to Faldek and Harnett's conversation:: (edited)

I don't remember. I think they use our thumb print to transport us back to the right one, though.

Medieval planet?

FGIT> Thank you for your magical time at our resort...and your Dresses wig and wand will be sent to your room this evening!

:::Offers McFly some Ice cream:: Taste better then any I have ever had

Yeah it's a long story.

::nods:: Thanks!

Ask Bren all about it.

FGIT> Thank you all have a magical day!

Perhaps another time..

::exits the shop::

::sips his drink and takes another bite:: I am going to have to hit the gym once we're back on the ship.

::Waves to the group:: Hello all

::reunites with the group:: Hello!

::takes a lick; his eyes dilate:: I have never had ice cream that tastes so good!

::spots KK and McFly:: Matt, Kansas.

:: to EJ Pilot :: I think you would of looked cute in the Knight's costume. You are fleet aren't you?

((That's not ice cream, vanilla don't make you do that))

I know, I am going to have nothing but it the whole time we are here

::takes another lick:: Beran... nope, that's too weird. Faldek.

9:37 PM

::takes another lick::

::raises eyebrow at Annika's outfit; then nods to KK and the Captain::

::looks at Sierra:: I am Starfleet.

:: Nods to Annika, noting her outfit ::

::orders a Mickey Mouse chocolate icecream pop, then. formally returns to the group:: Nice, eh? ::goes a twirl::

::does a wolf whistle at Annika::

Same here. Lost my Ship in the Bajoran sector. Now waiting for my next ship.....which I was told got shot up too....

::smiles::

::eyes widen:: Whoa!

::takes another lick; sees Annika; raises an eyebrow; takes another lick; still sees Annika::

Cdr. Faldek

::does a wolf whistle at Annika::

((Someone hasn't done their annual harassment training, clearly))

Thanks!

Bren Faliver

((Someone hasn't done their annual harassment training, clearly))

((That's what memory wipes are for))

:::Surrenders her ice cream to McFly::

Hmm. For the price I paid, it'd better be, heh.

Kansas Kenickie

:::Surrenders her ice cream to McFly::

((You should have looked at him and say "let it go"))

Name is Sierra, :: offers EJ her hand ::

Be careful, they're going to think you work here.

::takes the hand and shakes:: Nice to make your acquaintance Sierra.

I've already been swarmed by little girls since I got here, for some reason. Eh, might as well..

Found a good place for a Raktinjo on your stay? Still looking

you think I need a princess make over? ::Smirks at McFly::

::nibbles on her ice cream::

::swims over near the shore where Bren is:: I swear, that stubborn ass fin is going to get himself into no good.

::takes another lick; sees Annika; takes another lick; clears throat:: Ok, we all here?

Maybe Snow White for you KK. (edited)

Hmm, there's a good place by the large mouse statue.

It was from an establishment. I am sure one of the vendors can round up one for you.

::Looks up from his PADDs. 9%.:: What's up, Kelp?

:: Looks to McFly ::

::Trying to better understand what is going on...reading more about these "Disney Princesses" on his guidebook PADD::

Nice meeting you...you and your crew have a great time...:: exits and heads outiside looking for a Raktijino ::

You as well!

((Quick question, would making Backpfeifengesicht's first name Adolf be a step too far?))

(nah..)

(( Just do it ))

Captain McFly

((Quick question, would making Backpfeifengesicht's first name Adolf be a step too far?))

((Why not something funnier like Helmut))

((it's a common name))

((Its a common name isn't it? Like John))

(it is a common name)

::Gets herself more ice cream:: I think we are all here

::looks around:: Hmm, yes

Bren Faliver

((Why not something funnier like Helmut))

((That is kind of funny))

Little Girl> :: tugs on Annika's dress :: Excuse me Princess Elsa may I have your autograph!!!!

(( Adolf Helmut Backpfeifengesicht ? ))

::looks up from the PADD and nods in agreement that he believes all expected crew members are present::

Well I do not see Bren or Jaenke.

Mother> :: to Annika :: So sorry.... let's let the nice lady finish her ice cream! :: takes toddler into Princess shop ::

Hmm? ::watches the girl and mom walk off:: That's happened more than once.

I believe Chief Faliver is with the cetaceans

Cdr. Faldek

Well I do not see Bren or Jaenke.

((Im under the impression I am not anywhere near most of you, no?))

It's Hellmuth ((I found a version spelled as Hell)), he's driving me crazy. I get it, none of us want to be here, but throwing a tantrum ain't helpin no one.

:: continues his work at the Arctic Resort...integrating Commander Bren's power unit concepts into his design ::

((Some decided to stay at the resort and thus have to do "paperwork" for "HR"

))

::finishes her ice cream bar and tosses the stick int he waste processor::

I do like the wand tho, I bet you can make one with a knife in the handle

Not everything needs to be a weapon Kansas.

::looks at Faldek and then to KK:: ...oh my.

::takes a lick; looks around:: Alright, you're all here. I know this trip wasn't everyone's first choice, but I thought it would be a great team building exercise for all of us. ::takes a lick:: We've been through some horrid experiences lately and I just wanted us to have some fun for a change.

I can probably make the wand shoot out holographic ice..

well now your just being silly

::looks to McFly. hmm::

::notes the crew with the pointed ears:: Well, as much as possible

Should I talk to him? What kind of tantrum is he throwing?

:: Raises an eyebrow :: Fun?

::fishes into the pocket of his swimtrunks and retrieves his combadge::

:: finds a stall and orders a raktijiino takes a seat on a park bench and engages in crowd watching while listening to some tunes with her headphones on ::

He keeps flippin and splashin. The ironic thing is all the kids nearby think he's playing and splash him back.

Yes, enjoyment, you green blooded hobgoblin.

:: Eyes Faldek :: Hobgoblin?

::looks at Thomas:: Like your brother. Enjoyment.

Look it up later.

::scans the guidebook PADD for activities that he might find "enjoyable"...is there a "Meditation Land"?::

1

I mean you might find something fascinating about watching how other lifeforms derive enjoyment out of exhausting themselves.

:: Looks to E.J. :: His... fun nearly got us into a fist fight with a Ferengi and his guards..

And we would have beaten them!

:::Looks at the map:: They have a jungle boat ride!

ooh nice!

::Looks nearby and sees the kids, and starts walking over:: +Backpfeifengeischt + Backpfeifengeischt , Faliver here... what's going on, talk to me. I'm coming down the beach right now. (edited)

:: Looks to McFly :: It is a possibility that could be.... fascinating, sir.

Good idea, let's all go on a ride and get to having fun.

Remember who saved you and I. When its time for seriousness, he can definitely come through in a pinch.

I've been looking at these roller coasters, they seem like they could be fun.

A boat ride sounds...acceptable.

Acceptable, indeed.

::looks at McFly:: Just make sure you're not photographed doing closed door things on the rides.

:: Raises an eyebrow at E.J.'s comment ::

you are no fun EJ (edited)

:: observes a group of Ferengi asking a Cast Member how to get to Latinumland ::

::to Kansas:: I got Latinum, I don't know if they accept it as currency for bail..

Bren Faliver

::Looks nearby and sees the kids, and starts walking over:: +Backpfeifengeischt + Backpfeifengeischt , Faliver here... what's going on, talk to me. I'm coming down the beach right now. (edited)

((Corrected Kelp to Backpfeifengeischt))

I would never dream of it! ::side eyes Kansas then takes a lick::

Imagine getting in the newsletter that a Starfleet senior officer cadre got banned from Disney WORLD.

::Smiles with no guilt::

I would not be opposed to being banned from this world, for any reason..

If you're going to make me a ship uncle, just do it in your bedroom. ::laughs::

Nein! ::stops splashing and dives further into the water::

I'm gonna slip him some chocolate.

:: Eyes Faldek ::

::chuckles at Faldek's comment::

9:59 PM

::hands Harnett a pastry from his snack bag:: Here.

have some chocolate ice cream

That'd be worse than getting banned from Risa

Its hazelnut..

::hears Faldek's comment and remembers his headache from Risa...shakes head slightly...::

::walks with the group to the Jungle Cruise line:: This isn't so bad, it's right outside the building. ::takes lick and bites the cone::

:: Shakes his head :: I am fine, E.J.

I'm up for it. ::shrugs::

::Starts wading in some distance from the splashing kids:: Look, I can't talk if my head is underwater, so I can't follow you out there. What's gotten you riled up about this trip? I realize you weren't consulted, but the options are limited no?

# WHAT THE TEAM DOESN'T SEE IF THE HOUR LONG WINDING LINE INSIDE THE BUILDING

((seriously, I could've bought us all lightning lane passes))

::reads the sign:: Falmingo's taste really good

( First time visitor's mistake ...hehe )

Kansas Kenickie

::reads the sign:: Falmingo's taste really good

((the bird?))

((yup))

::pops up out of the water:: I think he swam away, chief. Ugh, I'll see if I can catch him and bring him back. ::dives into the water and swims after Hellmuth::

::Looks around for anywhere renting rebreathers::

:: remembers the last time she saw a Klingon....His name was Worf....in the Battle to retake Deep Space Nine, after her Ship the Majestic was blown apart in the battle ...getting rescued by the burly Klingon after hours in a life pod ::

nothing from me, but did someone pack the sunscreen?!

I would hope so

FYI, Disney doesn't actually allow adults to dress in costume except during the halloween party. They don't want kids thinking they're characters and then someone uses that to steal a kid. I'm not enforcing that rule whatsoever, by the way, just throwing that information out there.

lol

The more you know...

lol

We'll start next week on a ride, I guess we're on the jungle cruise unless we want to do something else? I have a ride that doesn't exist in mind, one special for this futuristic disney park. But we can do that after if we want to do the jungle cruise. Everyone should see the backside of water at least once.

10:07 PM

So TBS an hour?

I'm down with whatever.

sounds good, so we should Log on the ride, or starting next week getting on since the line

10:08 PM

or getting off the ride next week

Uhhhhh......... Let's see how everyone feels starting next week.

10:09 PM

Questions or comments?

Ok

10:09 PM

See what it is

TBS hour, is good.

10:09 PM

We are probably still in line.

If nothing then I recommend everyone listen to Weird Al's "Skipper Dan" after you're... DISMISSED!!!

lines!!

Disney doesn't allow knives in the park.
