Scott grinned in that girly way that meant she didn’t believe Rand when she said he was probably happy she’d left. That would make sense only if he hadn’t gotten crankier when Rand readjust her schedule so she was in the lab before him. No, for some reason it seemed Rand was in denial about that. But she hadn’t sat with Rand to talk about work and Scott’s boss all day. So she instead asked, “Sooo, what do you do in your free time? You know, when you’re not running all over the ship for the Captain and Alden.”

Free time? Oh yeah that was something regular crew did. Rand internally chuckled at herself. She liked being busy with work all the time. What little free time she had she was helping with the animals…”Sleep, run, stop my brother from stealing my clothes and my cheeze-whiz.” Scott was going to insist on chit-chat. So the expected thing to do....oh right, ask in return. “What about you?”

Yeoman Rand

Scott laughed. “Your cheeze-whiz? That cheese in a can stuff?” She would definitely not consider anything in the lab “free time”. She pretty much never chose to be there. “Well, I like to go up to the recreational area. You know, get to know the rest of the crew. Play some board games or some other games maybe, have a drink. All that kind of thing. Flirting with the guys.” She wasn’t big on hanging around her quarters by herself. Sometimes the ship felt small and lonely enough even with spending most of her time with other people.

“Yeah the cheese in a can stuff. I love it. Randy says he hates it but he’s always stealing it. The only time Rand went to the rec hall was when giving tours, or that time she dropped off that shipment of new games for the quarter master. “The rec hall seems pretty popular. Requests for new games and stuff are always coming across the daily reports.” Rand didn’t even touch in the flirting with guys statement. Rand had a very bad track record with things like that, and on ship, with a small crew, she wasn’t about to make another failed attempt. “Anything missing that might make it better?” She could see if they could trade something or get central supply to send some new stuff out.

Yeoman Rand

“C’mon, Rand, you’re not working right now! I’ll fill out a report if I think of anything to add to the rec room!” Scott said. She wouldn’t appreciate someone asking her a bunch of science questions off duty, she wasn’t about to ask Rand to do her job off duty, either. “Why don’t we go up there, and you can decide what else they need?” She asked, grinning. “It’s not usually busy this time of day. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you up there!” It was her way of relaxing, so Rand would enjoy it too, right? Especially if it wasn’t busy like normal.

~ NEnsign Scott

“Go…go up there?” It was late, she was tired, and there were people. “No I don’t usually spend time in the rec room…” But Rand didn’t know how to say no. Scott was sweet, overly animated for Rand’s comfort, but sweet. And the next thing Rand knew she was being dragged along with Scott to the recreation hall.

Yeoman Rand

“Oh, it’ll be fun. There aren’t very many people up there,” she insisted as she led Rand to the recreation hall. When they got there, Scott was happy to find that she was right, and not many people were there yet. But she knew it would probably start filling soon. “Look! There’s billiards, battleship, even ping-pong!” She said. “Is there anything you like to do?”

~ NEnsign Scott

Bollards and ping pong was just too crowd drawing. “Umm..battleship?” Rand had played before as a kid. And it was only two players, so no extra people, right? “What do you usually do?”

OOC: Please join us! Bring your main character or an NE to come hang out in the rec hall and socialize and have a good time!

Yeoman Rand

“Battleship is fun!” Scott said, pulling out the two plastic boards one was meant to play on. She handed Rand one and sat at a table. Then, she opened it and started sorting the little white and red pieces, and placing the little plastic ships. “I used to play it a lot, when I was a kid,” Scott said as she did.

Engineering Crewman Murphy stood in front of the case of board games, staring down several of the boxes with intense concentration. Snapped out of her thought by NEnsign Scott stepping past her and grabbing a copy of battleship, she watched the ensign return to another woman and place it down. Oh, there were already two players. She looked around, everyone else seemed super busy. And already engaged in games and instruments and other recreational activities. She turned to the pair and slowly made her way over, freezing slightly if either one of them glanced in her direction.
