The last few days had been running smoothly for the first officer. She was feeling relaxed as she entered the Lounge, she was even smiling. Still in uniform, Qyra took a seat at the bar. “What can I get for you, Sir.” the server asked.

“Pinapple juice and vodka, please.” They didn’t have anything quite like pinapple on her home planet, but she thought they were delicious. “What’s the mood in here tonight?” she asked as he set her drink on the bar.

“Its been pretty quiet. I don’t think we’ve even had a fight in here since…hmmm, three or four weeks, maybe?”

That was difficult to believe. Alcohol had a few different effects on humans, but one of the most common was how argumentative they became. “That’s unusual, isn’t it” She lifted the tumbler to her mouth and enjoyed the first taste of her drink. “Mmmm, so good. You make a mean…does this drink even have a name?”

He smiled and rested his hands on the bar. “Yes it is unusual and yes that drink has a name.” He smiled, making his eyes crinkle at the outer corners.

Nyx llooked at him with brows raised, silently asking him to continue. “I named it for you, Cmdr. It’s call the Frost.” Her brows drew together. “I don’t understand why you chose that name.”

Giving her a flirtatious wink, the server actually grinned. “It’s because of your white hair and blue-green eyes. They make me think of the polar caps back on Earth. Everything there is snowy white, but the water and glaciers have a blue tint to them.” He said it like it made absolute sense, but Qyra wasn’t sold.

“Tell you what, keep thinking. The Frost sounds too ambitious, why not something like a pineapple martini?” As he nodded, she picked up her drink again and turned her stool towards the open room. Time for a little people watching.

The Chief engineer had finally got off of shift in the engine room allowing her engineers to get cleaning and do some minor repairs along the way. Lovejoy had thought about everything that she went through during their last mission. However, it was time to relax a little bit and finally decided to take some time to go to the mess hall. As she got to the mess hall, she had seen the commander sitting there. Lovejoy walked in and sat down with another seat in between her and the commander. “Whiskey and rye please.” She said to the bartender. “Hello Commander. How are you doing as of the past few days?” Lovejoy asked not sure what to expect. Lovejoy had barely even left her engine room all that much so this is the first time in a while that she finally got out and did something.

“I am well, Lt. Yourself?”

“I am well as well Cmdr.” Lovejoy responded.

Cain strolled through the door of the lounge and noticed Sara starting to interact with the XO and decided to do an about face and head back to the bridge.

Nightroad, CO

Lovejoy saw the captain. “Captain. Why dont you join us?” She looked at him and said before he left the mess hall and offering him to join them both.

OOC: Nyx and Lovejoy are actually sitting at the bar, not a table, with an empty seat between them.

Cain stopped in his tracks at the sound of Captain being said and turned back towards the Commander and Lieutenant. In his mind he wondered what their conversation was about but knew that he would soon know. As he walked towards them he formulated in his mind what he wanted to say and replied, “Ah, Lieutenant and Commander, how are you both doing.” and sat down in an open seat at their table. Cain looked at the server and said, “Prune juice please.”

Lovejoy was just smoked as he asked her that. “I’m well sir. Engineering is a bit slow but it’s nice and quiet. How are you sir?” She asked him back with a gentle smile.

Ben walked into the Lounge slightly limping as he had slightly tweaked his ankle from running in the gym. Seeing a few familiar faces warmed his previous mood of loneliness. As Ben made it to the bar, he ordered his usual bourbon with cherry juice and a splash of club soda. “Here you go Lieutenant ”
spoke the bartender. Ben nodded in appreciation “Thank you .” Ben looked around and saw Captain Nightroad and others at a nearby table and inquired to the group “mind if I join you all?”

“Thank you.” She said after taking her drink.

Qyra was surprised to see three people walk in right after she did, and the fact they all wanted to join together at the bar. She gave Park a quiet nod to answer his question–there were plenty of empty seats. It was really a rare opportunity to catch the CO and XO ‘off duty’ in the lounge. It almost never happened. “I wanted a drink. What brought the rest of you here?”

Emberlee smiled at the Commander “I came to get a Dr. Pepper and enjoy some company for a little while.” She said as she waited for her Dr. Pepper to be brought. Chewy ice and a thermal glass…she was happy.

CO, XO, CE
Emberlee walked into the lounge and found a nice seat, sat down and waited to see what was going on. She noticed Ben hobbling in. She got up and went over “What happened to you?” She asked her fellow pilot.

Emberlee Atkins

Ben smiled at Emberlee “we’ve got performance reviews at the end of the month and I wanted to stay ahead of it ,so I pushed my body on the track and rolled my ankle.” He then took a sip of his concoction.

Park

“Well that’ll teach ya.” She quipped and ordered a tall Dr. Pepper. She didn’t want to drink alcohol when she had watch later that night. “You know, you can do just as well doing yoga in your quarters and there’s less chance of twisting anything which may affect how you perform on your tests....” She said somewhat insightfully..

No one was answering her question about what brought them to the lounge, so she spoke directly to Nightroad, quietly. “Isn’t it rather odd that three of the command team are in here at the same time? When was the last time that happened?” Thing must be running smoothly on the ship to free them all up at that hour.

She just sat there and minded her business as she was drinking her drink and didn’t leave the conversation.

Emberlee took a long drink of the soda and smiled “Perfect. Park sit down before you fall down. I’m not dragging you to sickbay....” She joked with her fellow pilot.

Ben nodded and sat down. Speaking to Emberlee “we should get Firefly here and see if he wanted to hang out”
