Back at SB 257 the crew were given a week off. However on Saturday of that week would be the Black and White Ball in the main auditorium which was being converted through the magic of Holotech into a grand hall. It was alike a giant version of an old style ballroom hall. (Take a look here for an idea)The Captain himself was arranging it but had called the XO over to explain the concept. However it was possible that Harn would know more about the real thing than he did. Frankly he did not know if his XO would or would not.

When Jason entered the auditorium he let out a low whistle. “It looks like the Stratos Hall on Ardana in here,” he commented. “What’s the occasion Captain?” he added casually as he walked over to his commanding officer’s side.
Jason Harn, XO
“XO we are going to have a wind down Black and White formal ball. Let me tell you all about it.” He said wrapping his arm around the shoulder of the XO as if to say your in it now buddy.
OOC: I’m just going to jump right into the Ball because were running behind.
The night, if living in space really has a day and night, at the SB had finally arrived. The Captain had sent out the invites using the SB entertainment and relations staff.
What: Black and White Ball
Where: Main auditorium holodeck (Level 36)
Who: All Olinski Crew plus 2
When: Stardate (blah blah..I never know stardates)
Dress: Formal. Black and White attire only
Time: 7 pmWith that done previously the Captain now waited at the actual event. It was empty at this time except for the attending staff of cooks, hostesses, waiters etc..moving around. He was very impressed with the setting. A small orchestra had been set up to one side and later he had a live band who would join them. It was in his opinion about as well as it could be. Thank the stars for the SB staff. He would have never pulled this off on his own. Thanks to Harn for helping and the SB. So now he waited for the first guest as the orchestra started up an easy melody.

Ael was never one to be late. At exactly 7, he appeared. He was dressed in a white formal Romulan robe. Not dissimilar to something Vulcan. Seeing only the Captain present, he stopped in his tracks. “Sir.”
-Ael Khev
“This all looks great!” Trevor exclaimed as he approached the pair. The Lieutenant wasn’t known to arrive early to many social events but heard that the Black and White Ball wasn’t something he wouldn’t want to miss. “I’ve needed a nice break from evaluations…” He added.
Trevor Michaels
Thank the Elements. Ael thought as Trevor arrived, leaving some room between himself and the Captain. “Counselor. Yes, this all looks very nice. First time I’ve been to a party in… Elements only know how long.” It took him only seconds to realise that he had referred to his own religion while in Romulan clothes. But Lena told him a tuxedo would be a mistake. Rejecting Romulus wasn’t the answer.
-Ael Khev
Not long after their arrival the room began to fill. Among the incoming guests was Mr. Ch’zaolrirh. The COS was wearing a black dress uniform with a white jacket. The outfit was one of a few standard options permitted for a formal event while on duty. Although the Andorian understood that the crew was on leave, he preferred it to a human’s tuxedo. Looking around at the crew he noticed that he was still the only individual with antennae. It made him wonder if there were any other Andorians visiting SB 257.
- Srothell Ch’zaolrirh (COS)
Despite Kolar’s general disdain for celebrating mission, he was not displeased to attend this Black and White Ball. No casualties from the Olinski, none from the Dragoon, no natives harmed. It was a big win in his book and one that he was willing to break his normal rule of quiet reflection for. He was dressed in his standard Bajorian robe with the orange swapped out for white to match the clothing rules. Balfor Kolar was one to follow the rules. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjOocj6zYDkAhXqYd8KHaoxBsMQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourprops.com%2FVedek-Bareil-Bajoran-Robes-original-movie-costume-Star-Trek-Deep-Space-Nine-TV-1993-YP64710.html&psig=AOvVaw2Y7jYJVwbP-xurDG5RcjUg&ust=1565811819245174.
Kolar
OOC: Cool
The Captain watched each as they entered and neared. He saw that Khev had kinda went with the dress code since most Romulan clothing tended to be a shade of gray. He was impressed with Kolar and his choice. Always cool in a not trying to be cool way was the CSO.
