As Valura entered into the cordoned off area for the party, she found one of the girls had somewhere snagged a pair of gravity boots and so was using this to hang from the ceiling! The teen as she noticed Valura and her offer just groaned, “..Urgh ollllddddd people! Come on Tel’eck get her to go away!” She whined.

Tel’eck though just shrugged coming over, “..Oh hush up Franky! All that blood rushing to your head can’t be healthy and it’s making you think stupid and short term!..” She said. Then returned her attention to Valura, “..Well we always can use more makeup and movies, so ok you can stay. What you got on offer?” Tel’eck inquired trying to peer at the movies, “..Anything good?”

V’alura was hardly bothered by Franky’s words. Before her arrival she knew that the girls might reject her presence and that would be fine. This was their party and they had every right to approve or reject unplanned guests. Thankfully for her, Tel’eck was not so hard won-over. V’alura grinned, “Lot’s of good stuff. I got movies that were popular when I was a teen and several classics from a few hundred years ago.” She held the PaDD out for Tel’eck to see for herself. Included on the list were many of V’alura’s personal favorites, unsurprisingly were nearly all romance or rom-coms.

Tel’eck took the PADD with the list of movies on them, “..Hmm..” She started. “..I’ve heard good things about this action romance vid called Agent Shalang: From Risa With Love, something about top secret Vulcan Starfleet Intelligence agent stopping some even more secret agency that wants to control the Federation? Feel up for that?” She asked.

A few other girls came over to poke through her make-up bag and V’alura let them take the whole thing, happy to see untouched products finally seeing use. “I can paint nails too.” She added.

“And I can do hair and makeup” Came Ella’s voice from behind V’alura. She’d heard about the twen party, and while she wasn’t young, she wasn’t old either and the idea of a little girl get together interested her, as an elasian however she was very much a teen and her appearance suggested as such. “And I’ve brought my own goodies” her bag included snacks which she had researched went well at girl parties, and some simple games.

Franky obviously was not thrilled to have more ‘old people’ join their ranks but it seems the ‘tribute offerings’ of food, makeup, and a good flick at least mollified her protests to disquieted grunts and grumbles. The rest of the teenage girls were thrilled to seem more ‘mature’ with the additions, and upon Tel’eck’s suggestions for the first movie everyone, including Franky, ooed and awwed in gushing glory over the various actors, male and female for that matter. “..Alright well I guess we got our plans then, let’s get things set up!” Tel’eck said taking charge and loading up the PADD video request for the Agent movie.

Meanwhile two more of the girls a human by the name of Sarah and a half-vulcan named Solorn were busy tossing up snacks on the nearby anti-gravity table hovering nearby. While an andorian teen named Elorn was making sure all the couches were fluffed and ready to go for long term lounging and binging for the party to come.

Ella smiled gratefully to be included in the young humans ‘girly’ night. She placed her things on a free table in view of the movie being played and spread out the wide assortment of make-up. She wondered how much trouble she would get into if she had gone with her original idea of bringing some Elasian Apple Wine, it was the go-to underaged drink they used to sneak up to the mountains with.

With everything setup, Tel’eck finally herded everyone over to the big holo display and couches/chairs to get the party started. “..Right so first holo-movie up is Agent Shalang: From Risa With Love, that work for everyone?” she asked cuing up the holo control panel after getting nods from all the teen girls.

Once everyone was settled the lights in the room dimmed and the holo display flared to life. Franky sat off to one side on a hover chair already munching some kind of large frozen sweet snack in one hand, while with the other she was busy using an applicator to apply some kind of cream to her left leg. Sarah meanwhile had changed her shoes to wear a pair of anti-gravity straps and shoes and so had done some finangling to reverse their polarity. As a result her seat was up on the room’s ceiling 13 feet up sitting upside down cross legged. She giggled a bit at the weird look Tel’eck gave her and then used some kind of string candy necklace around her neck to begin snacking as the video loaded. Next the half-vulcan teen named Solorn had moved off to the right onto the floor at the base of the main couch and had taken up a fizzy drink of some sort in one hand, while using her other hand to balance some kind of small Vulcan meditative toy in the other on her index finger. Lastly Tel’eck had taken up the center couch seat, hopping up onto the back of it to then lay down like a large cat stretching out her legs and body on its backing. Propping a hand under her head she piled up a handful of chocolate sweet snacks.

On the holo-screen in big fancy action spy-agent lettering the movie’s title rose up. AGENT SHALANG: FROM RISA WITH LOVE!! was proclaimed. Complete with sneaky low key music. With a background sound effect of some kind of explosion the screen faded and then came alight again with the first scene. The main character was a female Vulcan in her mid to late 130s, dressed in a crisp dark toned Starfleet Intelligence uniform used while on operations. It was body hugging, deep black in color, and beyond a small backpack of equipment and a tool belt to match had little wasted space on her or noise in her movements. The agent seemed to be moving through some kind of rocky tunnel system on her hands and knees the walls around her pressing in with barely a few inches to spare. Through some kind of unseen comms device a male voice came through the audio channels.

=/\= Agent Shalang, mission report, please =/\= The male voice said.

Pausing in her hands and knees crawling through the tunnel system the Vulcan agent pressed something behind her left pointed ear. =/\= Shalang reporting, I have breached the tunnel system. Will be planting plasma explosives in 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Will require transporter extraction in 5 minutes from this report. =/\= She said, then a beep seemed to signal the end of the comm call. As if to drive home the allure for male or female interested oriented audiences of the female agent a bit of a long pan shot of her waist and legs was shown off before the scene ended.

The scene shifted then in a panning motion rising up with the Vulcan’s head peeking over a barrel now in some kind of engineering centric warehouse. Around the grey lit area they could see on the screen, four men in sinister looking red-black jumpsuits were prowling with some kind of plasma powered rifles. The camera panned again showing a close up of a fifth man in similar but more high quality rich looking garb. A twirling shot showing off the man’s physique and what was no doubt meant to be attractive looks for a female or male interested inclined audiences came up. While a twirling sinister audio soundtrack accompanied the panning to echo that this was the main bad guy despite his good looks and that he was ‘very evil’. On the screen the main bad guy was busy shouting orders to the other four men to make sure they had cleared out the last of the ‘shipment’ in the warehouse and not to leave anything behind or they would not survive to learn from their mistakes.

”..Oh my GOD look at his butt!!” Squealed Sarah from up on the ceiling giggling. “..That jumpsuit they had the actor wear leaves like NOTHING to the imagination!! SO HOT” she said.

A few chuckles and giggles from Franky came back, but beyond a smile from Tel’eck and a agreeing like shrug from Solorn things continued on screen.

The scene shifted again, this time showing Agent Shalang had by now moved around the warehouse and was placing the last of the plasma charges on different support beams. The Vulcan actress was shown to be checking a small time display counting down from a 5 minute mark with 3 minutes and 28 seconds left. Presumably this was a countdown till she was to set off the explosives and get beamed out to safety. But in this moment it seemed somehow one of the four guards had noticed something was amiss as she stepped away from the last charge. A spark of green plasma energy lanced just above the Agent’s head! Accompanying this sudden change was a sharp spike of the music shifting to a more action like tune. Agent Shalang in typical action-movie theme pulled out a black colored type-2 phaser and began to return fire as shouts of the other three echoed that ‘someone was here!’

The fifth man the main bad guy who was now named as ‘Operative Smith’ dove for his own cover behind some kind of crate. “..Its Agent Shalang of Starfleet Intelligence! Get her you fools!” He demanded.

”..I fail to see how his Operative Smith knows without seeing her that it is Agent Shalang?” Solorn inquired as on screen plasma and phaser fired shots were exchanged in dramatic movie action fashion.

”..You didn’t yet see the previous movie, Agent Shalang: Crisis Venus! It set the stage for this movie, and with how it picks up almost after the end of that one it can be confusing if you didn’t see it. This is how Operative Smith knows its Shalang..” Tel’eck said pausing to sip some kind of fuzzy juice drink and take a bite out of one of her candy bars.

”..I see. This would make sense then..” Solorn replied nodding, still balancing the Vulcan toy in her free hand while munching some popcorn in the other.

”..Shh!!! I can’t hear what they’re saying on screen!” Sarah declared quieting everyone back down.
