Posted by Riley Dekker (2O) in Holodeck - Promotion Party - open for ALL Posted by… suppressed (2) by the Post Ghost! 👻 <snip> : : : : : The Counselor had to angle his head up to make eye contact with the COS, “Lieutenant, how are you this evening?” : : : : : Dekker, CNS : : : : : : “I am functioning within optimal parameters,” Thomas said deadpan before cracking a smile. “Pretty good, now that everything seems to have calmed down a bit and we’re just waiting to get underway again. Still working to get all the new people in and set up.” : : : COS “Good to hear,” Riley took a sip of his martini, letting his eyes wander over the crowd long enough to take in Marishka’s striking entrance. He flashed her a smile and a wink before returning his attention to the solid wall of security chief before him. “The Genny’s your first ship assignment, if I’m not mistaken. A bit different from an Earth-based posting. The new ship has a much bigger crew than the last, but it’s still small. No escape I suppose. Are you finding everyone welcoming?” Dekker, CNS : : : : : : Marishka hated to be late for a party unless, of course, she was fashionably late. She stepped into the icy scene in a metallic blue miniskirt and matching halter with a lace shrug casually draped over her shoulders done in soft ivory and studded with blue and white crystals. There was a small braid on either side of her head starting at the temple that twisted into a bun at the nape of her neck. Chains of blue and white crystals hung from the braids nearly to her shoulders. Her silver heels made no sound as she glided through the scene waving and smiling. Plucking a glass form a nearby tray she wondered if there would be dancing tonight. : : : : Marishka, CIO

“Aye, it’s my first ship assignment, but I grew up in a town with just a couple thousand people in it. The faces get familiar, and eventually you get to know everybody by name, what they do, where they’re from, and if you live close enough or catch them in a weak moment at the bar, a lot more than that,” Thomas said. “I’d say I’m probably about a quarter of the way to the first three points with most of the crew… halfway there if you exclude the new transfers.”
COS

David appeared at Riley’s side, sliding an arm around the Counselors waist, giving Thomas a nod. “Hello there,” He said to the CoS. He gave Riley a squeeze and leaned in, planting a kiss on the man’s cheek.

OOC: Ignore that whole post where I missed half the thread…

IC: A smile crossed Riley’s face at the feeling of David’s arm encircling his waist.

Turning his eyes back to Thomas, David added, “You’re doing better than me on that regard,” Having heard the last little snippet of conversation. “Faces and names I’m pretty good with, but if you ask me I think some of the crew still avoid me as the guy from the future.” He chuckled and looked around for a waiter to flag down to order them some drinks.

“Their loss,” Thomas said. “I’ve worked with you for nearly two years now and I still find the concept fascinating. Especially on an exploratory ship like the Genny is now… you’re going to be ‘finding’ things that are common knowledge when you came from.”

“And all he’ll say is some variation of ‘You know I can’t reveal anything about that’ or ‘I thought it’d be different, but I shouldn’t say how’. It get’s really repetitive after awhile, trust me,” Riley jabbed. “The worst is when I’m reading the news and see something interesting, share it, and he just looks at me like I’d just discovered the Earth is round.”

Marishka had been making the rounds for a few minutes. The decor was beautiful and so were the men and women. Her’s hadn’t seemed to arrive yet but she spied David, Riley, and Thomas and decided to be a bit sociable.

Walking up to the three she smiled and nodded.

In social occasions like this, Shalahn was still very shy. As the tall alien entered the holodeck, she instantly suppressed a need to shiver. The ice cave was beautiful and so realistic that she had to remind herself that it wasn’t really cold. She was dressed in a blue robe that covered most of her body and her tattoo-like intricate blue designs that covered all of her skin except on her face.
She would fit quite nicely naked into this cave, but the other species on the Genesis had an odd reaction to naturla nakedness and she didn’t want to make anybody else feel uncomfortable. Instead she went to the bar to get a nice drink and in her mind she settled on another evening of silently watching the crew she had come to like, even without being allowed to communicate with them in her natural way.

Dagen noticed Shalahn and smiled. Breaking off from where he was with a nod he made his way to where she was alongside the bar that was, in essence, carved ice - if not chilled but for where any drinks happened to be set. His drink choice was an old Scottish whiskey called a ‘Glamorran’. Ice tinkled in the glass as he set it down. “Hi Shalahn,” he said, eager to talk about his co-creation of the holo-grad with her. “I’m glad you could come. It feels like ages since I saw you.” Technically it had been but then everyone had things to do and so much could keep them busy.

Ben looked up at Chan “thank you Lieutenant. I’m just glad I could help.” Ben made sure that his part was done..well at least for now. Ben had finished the last plates of his mixed berry medley salad. “I’m sorry Lieutenant would you excuse me for a minute. I’ll be right back Sir.” He started to look for his companion Tigress.

Ben would find Tigress closely exsamining one of the iceey walls of the cave. What animals would make this home. Her mind coming up with all kinds of possiblitys.

Sage entered the holodeck already knowing what to expect. Still, the beauty of the ice and lighting took her breath away for a moment. The setting was stunning and something she hadn’t seen before at a party. Having received instructions on the dress code, she was wearing the palest of blue bodysuits. It was absolutely plain except for the continuous strip of laces that rose from her wrists, up the undersides of her arms and down each side of her body, displaying two inches of bare flesh on both sides. Although she was covered from wrist to neck to ankle, the open weave of the laces still allowed her to feel sexy for Calvin.

She stopped far enough inside the holodeck to nab a drink from a passing waiter, with a good vantage point to look for her husband.

—Sage

Calvin as a rule dislike parties where he couldn’t drink freely… which was every party that occurred on the Genesis. No matter the occasion.. he was still the first officer and had to behave in such a manner. Add in the fact that he wasn’t friendly with anyone aside from a few marines and SOG operators and of course his wife… who friendly with was an understatement. He did, however, dress up for the event as he remembered the last time there was a party and he came.. as he was… instead he wore a crushed blue jacket with matching pants and a tight black turtleneck, that if he took the opportunity to take of his suit jacket would huge his chest in a flattering fashion. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-terry-crews-actor-terry-crews-arrives-at-the-chateau-marmont-in-west-159332314.html

He would scan the crowd quickly locating all the important people to him, and giving each a nod… as he ordered a whiskey.

Ben seeing Tigress stood to her right side looking at the cave. “We have caves like this on Earth that houses animal known as a Polar Bear. If you got a PaDD I can show you what it looks like.”

OOC: I’ve been entirely cut out of this thread now, so I’ll join again when there’s a good spot. ~Linds

Tigress smiled at Ben. She held a pad out for him.” I am not very fimilar with artic spices”she said.
