Posted by Captain Sidney Parker (Commanding Officer) in Shipwide Side Sim
The Captain walked with planetary sciences officer Andriana to the carnival. He played and won a small bear for her at the shooting gallery. She then played and won for him a bigger bear. He laughed it off. She was engaging but not overly aggressive in her demeanor. He knew he had to tone down his usual bossiness and be more easy going. However with her tonight it felt right and he was relaxed. He was not completely sure if it was her or just the sim. It all felt quite nice. he knew it would end soon but for now he enjoyed it. He could not help to wonder if the whole crew would not be talking about it. He knew it was on her mind a little too as she looked around once or twice to see who was looking. However by the end of the evening they found themselves along under the pier. They small talk until at one point they stopped talking. He leaned in for a kiss and she did not stop him. It was short but felt long. Finally Sid told her it was all the time they had left as always duty would come soon. They walked hand in hand to an exit portal and stepped out. With a longing look she said goodbye and they both took a look back at least once as they went in opposite directions.

OOC: That wraps my part in the side sim and hoping to extend my own romantic side sim into the future.

Jason had created a simulation of the south beach on Paradise Island of the planet Draylax, a former Terran colony that had been abandoned with the foundation of the United Federation of Planets. (Once it was determined that the whales on Draylax were not only sentient but telepathic, the Vulcans had insisted.) Draylax was a water world, the only land masses of note was a chain of island dotting the equator, each a tropical paradise resembling Hawaii or an island in the Caribbean. The south beach was west of a large four story hotel that resembled a collection of sugar cubes. To the east was a boardwalk filled with every carnival and theme park attraction available in the early 22nd century. The sea was as unnaturally blue as the sky, Draylax’s sun was shining, and a scattering of holographic tourists were on the beach to keep the simulation from appearing deserted. Caribbean music from over two and a half centuries ago could be distantly heard from the boardwalk.
