Demil entered the room, wearing white and gold robes, cinched at his waist by a sky blue belt, and a hooded cloak the same white as his robes. On his left hip hung a navy blue leather and brass scabbard. The sword that rested in it had a primarily gold hilt that housed a blue gem. He stood to the side, looking vastly out of place on a high-tech starship.

Ens. Lis

One of the adults helping to manage the party was a late-20s aged Ensign from ship’s operations. As Lis entered in his garb, the woman turned to her. “..Hey there Ensign. Nice get up, I guess you’re participating in the theme and judging? Hope you got a little lesson overview for the younger kiddos who will be judging things later. What should I note your get up is from?” She asked.

Kyle Anders never got use to how clothes from Earth’s 21st Century felt so tight and unforgiving. He’d set himself up with a dark blue dinner jacket and white shirt, one of his father’s prize ‘performance’ bow ties crossing the top of his shirt, matching the shade of his dinner jacket. After having to pull at his collar several times to make sure it was loose enough, he made his way at a brisk jog toward Eighteen Forward, the crew lounge aboard the Archangel. Having only visited this lounge on patrol a couple of times since becoming Security Chief, he realized that this party was a brilliant excuse to mingle with his Security team in an off duty setting. As he rounded the corner, he noticed a rather excitable little girl running from one end of the corridor to the other with what looked like a silver serving tray in both hands. Kyle chuckled to himself, There you are lass! he thought to himself as he walked over and bent to one knee on close approach to the girl he now realized as Cerenity, Ensign Luna’s young daughter, “You want to be careful lass, with skills like those, they’ll have you working in the mess hall as a sous chef in no time.” He stretched his hand out in a ‘high five’ gesture, “I’m Kyle, your mother and I are working together in Security.”

as Kyle approached Cerenity he would note the Breen Dagger hanging from her belt. She definitely was not supposed to have it. Most Adults dismissed it as a toy. She smiled “I use to help in sickbay on the Leviathan. Do you work with mommy? So you a security officer. She is on duty right now? She is always buzzy” She said with a bright smile.

Cerenity

“Ahh, a soon to be medic!” Kyle grinned, taking a quick glance down at the Breen weapon in the toddler’s pocket, “Quite a blade you’ve got there Cerenity, remind me not to get to close!”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Just as Anders got done replying to little Cerenity (and I’m assuming have given the NE Bobby the trays!), another adult in charge of things a mid-30s year old junior lieutenant from the ship’s science department came up, “..Morning sir,” he said to Anders then a nod to Cerenity, “..So looks like you’re participating in the judging later? What can I note you down as being dressed up from for the judging kids to be learning about?” he asked holding a PADD.

Kyle looked bemused, ‘Judging what?’ He asked hesitantly, not sure of what he’d been signed up for.

Cerenity giggled. ” one of mommy’s Bouses gave it to me. Shhhh mommy don’t know I have it. ” She said she opened her wings and flawed them a few times preparing herself several feet in the air. ” The costume contest of course your silly” Cerenity giggled.

Cerenity

”..As the kiddo said, if you come here in a getup for the party’s theme its assumed you’ll be in the contest judged by the kids. If not then just let me know, but if you’re in it then you need to also provide a bit of educational background on it so the kids learn something..” the NE said.

V’alura swanned into the lounge with her usual flair for spectacle and drama and swathed in brilliant, vibrant color. She wore a long red skirt with white florals paired with a deep blue blouse with one elbow-length sleeve. Around her neck she wore a color of beads that extended down to her mid-arm. Upon her head she wore a beaded headpiece with a silver charm that hung down over her forehead that matched the collar along with giant hoop earrings and colorful bracelets upon her arms.

She moved with elegance and grace, completely comfortable and at ease. As though this were something she wore everyday.

Another NE down by V’alura came up to her, “..Ah hello ma’am, may I note if you’ll be in the contest? And if so what you’re wearing for reference?” she asked.

Katie entered the lounge a bit cautiously, half afraid that her choice of outfits would be inappropriate. Her discomfort wasn’t helped when she saw the many brightly colored costumes worn by some of the others. It was too late now. There was no time to change the design. Her Greek tunic was modest. While her arms were bare, little of her body could be seen under the swathes of white cloth. Below the hem of the tunic only her toes and her sandals were visible.

One of the other engineers approached her.

“Ancient Greek or Roman would be my guess,” she said.

“Hypatia of Alexandria to be specific,” Katie said. “A Greek astronomer, philosopher and mathematician from Alexandria, Egypt.”

Yet another busy body NE came up to Katie, “..Good morning Ensign! I see you’re so nicely dressed up for the party’s theme! The kids will be so thrilled to see so many participating this time. What should I note you down as wearing?” he asked.

“Of course!” Anders clicked his fingers in recognition, “Ensign, put me down as a… ’21st Century Heartthrob’,” he cast a wink in Cerenity’s general direction and posed in a jockish manner.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

”..Of course sir..” The NE said noting Kyle’s choice
