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.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

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.

”..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.

“I am entering the contest. And this-” V’alura performed a beautiful twirl, “Is a traditional outfit from the African country for Angola. A people that are apart of my heritage.” She spoke with pride of her ancestry and you can tell that she has an amazing presentation lined up. She was the Chief Science Officer after all. If anyone were to have a well-researched and well-written presentation it would be her.

”..Thank you ma’am..” The NE said noting down the attire before walking on to handle other things.

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

With the latest mission in the books, Marlaa had been busy with debriefs, counseling sessions and get own reconciliation of the final outcome. Even after years in space, every new life form stretched her mind about the possibilities that still lay out there.

The dark haired woman stepped into the room wearing a sapphire blue halter top dress that left a small keyhole detail above her chest before the ties trained behind her neck and trailed down her back. The hem fell around her knees and was short enough to be pretty without being too short for decorum sake.

She glanced around the room at those present then made her way to get a drink. Her long hair, normally bind tightly in a braided knot when in uniform, hung loose down her back pulled back with a silver barrette.

“Counselor!” Kyle stepped over and glanced over Marlaa’s costume, “You look amazing,”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

The busy body NE came up to the counselor as she entered by Kyle, “..Ah hello ma’am, will you be particpating in the theme today to educate the younger kids? If so what should I note you down as being dressed up as and from?” he asked.
