Posted by Crewman Shalahn (Nurse) in Holodeck - Promotion Party - open for ALL Posted by… suppressed (2) by the Post Ghost! 👻 <snip> : : : : : : : : : Chan smiled. She was wearing a long elegant form fitting ice blue dress with intricate silver detail on the bottom and on the sleeves. she also wore a silver necklace, with an insignia on a pendent. the insignia was dotted with emeralds. i”That’s because it is. only modified for the party. Your knowledge in Andorian caves is good.” she said kindly. “I’ve visited them before,” David said, winking. “Although it was in the past, so technically a long time ago.”

: : : : : : : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : : : : : : Niniane entered the holodeck and was immediatelly happy that it was not as cold as if this was a real ice cave. Cause the chiffon dress she wore didn’t provide a lot of warmth. It left her arms, shoulders, her neck, legs and upper back free and in a real ice cave she would have frozen right away.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : A bit self-conscious she looked herself up and down, following her Trill spots from her ankles all the way up her legs to her shoulders and neckline. She had chosen the dress to show off the spots, but she wasn’t really sure why this had felt important to her. The dress itself was pure white, setting off her tanned skin, so it fit quite nicely to the setting. She looked around trying to figure out what to do next.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : - Niniane Fahr, sci

: : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : Dagen had had a more difficult time figuring out what to wear than he had in helping to design this program. He was pale of complexion but dark of hair and abundant at that, though it was rather more salt and pepper these days. His final ensemble was that of white pressed trousers and a grey fur-like calf length boot. A similarly grey shirt was covered in a long formal white blazer with tails, the collar alllowing for a bow tie. The latter he found a bit much and perhaps stuffy though this was about he and Chan so the hosts should be dressed up.

: : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : He followed the line of Niniane’s spots and ended at her eyes. “Very nice,” he said. She was tanned. it was something that he never seemed to be able to manage, but then he was more a winter sports fellow. “Inside is a kind of dance floor, drinks and hot springs. Outside slides and ice climbing, though i’m not sure how much sporting one will have in our dress.” He held out his hand. “I’m Thor. I don’t think we’ve met.”

: : : : : : : : Dagen Thor

: :

: : Niniane laid her head slightly to the side which made the long tail of her auburn hair sway left as well, revealing even more spots on her neck, but her smile was amused rather than surprised. “I’m Niniane, no we haven’t but I was looking forward to it. I’ve heard of Thor. I’m unjoined and half Denobulan.” she said and pointed at her blazingly blue Denobulan eyes, a colour that was only to be found with Denobulans indeed.

: : - Niniane

:

: “Thor is a bit of a rebel,” Dagen replied with a humored smile. He marked the slight contrast between her tan and her spots along her neck. They were attractive. He knew that his own spots would have a contrast between his complexion and the dark spots. He wondered if she felt awkward in not being joined in the presence of two who were, though flashed her a wider smile. “I’m half Trill and half slug. My only problem is that the slug half has a mind of his own.” He didn’t miss her eyes, bright in stark contrast to his own dark, almost black, eyes. “Pleased to meet you Niniane. I go by Dagen, among others.” With the way that the Federation was integrating there were more ‘mixed’ races about, starting with Spock, half vulcan and half human. It didn’t bother Dagen one way or the other. Variety was good, and really, when it came down to it, it was the person who mattered.

Her smile widened. Not to Denobulan standards though. “A rebel? That sounds interesting. Would you be ok to tell me more?” she asked tentatively. - Niniane Fahr, sci

: : : : : : : : : : : : Thomas walked in in a white dress shirt with navy-blue slacks held up and accented by a white belt, and white leather boots. His collar was open and without tie, because the invite did say casual.

: : : : : : : : : : : : He gave acknowledging nods to the few who had already arrived, two of which were the organizers who had sent the invite, and looked for the food station.

: : : : : : : : : : : : COS

: : : : : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : : : : There was a certain trepidation at the thought of this social event. The last one Valleea had attended had been when they had gotten their new ship and everyone had been going through a swath of emotions. She herself had been, though she hadn’t known it at the time, experiencing early signs of her PTSD, so today marked an important juncture for her. Today she knew she was doing better but still had a ways to go. At least it felt hopeful.

: : : : : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : : : : Her eyes travelled the scene as she move inside the holodeck and there was a sense of awe on her face as she looked in all directions, including up. Then she spotted Niniane and moved over to her, touching her friend’s back gently. “Hello, you look lovely,” the Kriosian commented. She herself still had a skewed sense of what ‘casual’ was, but had opted for an ice blue jumpsuit with a deep plunging neckline and no sleeves. Made of a structured material, it followed the curves of her body closely but not too snugly. Heeled white boots and long silver chains from her neck completely what she hoped was an appropriate look.

: : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Valleea, Doctor

: :

: : Niniane swiveled to the side, facing now both Thor ans Valleea and gave Valleea a broad smile. “So do you!

: :

: : : : : : : : Dagen looked at Valleea. He could very easily say the same about her. “Long time no see Doctor,” he said. “A little different from Jeffries Tubes though you are ever very creative about your dress.”

: : : : : : : : Dagen Thor

: :

: : : : : : : : : : Ben was busy hard at work making his signature berry medley salad as an appetizer. It was full of raspberries blackberries, and blueberries. He reached in the basket he brought in the caves and pulled out several small bushels of mint leaves. He chopped them and mixed the scented mint leaves with the that had been previously dressed with honey. Ben grabbed as many small plates as he could and plated his salad. Ben grabbed four plates of salad and walked towards a group of people. With a smile “Salad anyone? Berries directly from my village.”

: : : : : : : : : : Park, BO Tactical/Security

: : : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : : Chan saw Ben “Excuse me” she said to the group she was talking. She walked towards Ben once at his table she smiled at him “Thank you for putting this all together for the party” she said sincerely.

: : : : : : : : : Lieut Chan (Sub-DH Robotics)

: : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : Tigress had only just gotten off shift when she entered the party. Half of her wanted to just wanted to go to her quarters and call it a night. She was not very social, Ben was the only person who she seamed to get along well with. He was also the only one how could convince her to do something other than research. She looked around the ice was more interesting to her then the people. ”What kind of animals could live in such an environment? ” she said not aware she had said it out loud.

: : : : : : : Ensign Tigress

: : : : : :

: : : : : : Tom was off next to a wall of clear ice. He had a drink in his hand that was, most likely, a flavored water of some kind. He wore his usual off duty monochromatic gray outfit. Charcoal gray slacks, medium gray button front short sleeved shirt, and black low profile shoes. He watched the people mill around.

: : : : : : Tom, IntSec

: : : : :

: : : : : Riley was always up for a good party and as he entered the holodeck and took in the awe-inspiring, icy sights a smile crossed his pale face. Leave it to engineers to create such a marvel, he thought to himself. He wore an ice-blue, crewneck shirt under a squared white jacket with a blue collar that reached an inch below his jawline. White trousers completed the dress-code appropriate ensemble. His dark hair and eyes appeared more pronounced than usual against the cold colors of his outfit and surroundings.

: : : : :

: : : : : Naturally servers carrying trays of icy cold drinks were circling the space, and Riley purloined a gin martini with two olives and sparkling crystals of ice floating on its surface. He scanned the room, noting Chan and Ben a ways across the room. It had been a while since he’d checked in with the now-former Chief Engineer and he chided himself for not seeing her request for reassignment coming. It was his duty to anticipate this sort of thing, but he sensed nothing but contentment from the change in her position. Thor, the man of the hour, had found himself in the company of two striking women. Riley smiled. It seemed an appropriate place for the celebrant to be.

: : : : :

: : : : : Riley caught David’s attention and waved him over. He’d spotted the security chief standing alone and wanted to make his way there. He hadn’t had a chance to connect with McGregor outside work, and he made a point of getting to know the senior staff.

: : : : :

: : : : : 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.

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.”
COS

“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.”

Thomas shrugged. “Well, things that are brand new to us could be completely different 5 centuries from now,” he said. “We’d say the same if we found ourselves flung into the pre-Federation days.”

He took a sip of his own drink before addressing David again. “I suppose the really weird thing would be learning about things discovered by a ‘David Micheals’ in 2393 when you were in school, only to find out now that it was you that discovered it.”

COS

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.
-Marishka

Thomas nodded back. “Marishka. Enjoying yourself?”

COS

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.
- Shalahn, nurse

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.
Dagen, CE

Shalahn gave Dagen a smile and the frillings on her forehead that looked so much like blue curls of hair seemed to move. “It does feel like that. There was a lot to do with all the new crew members needing their boarding physicals. I have been planning to drop by in engineering for a lunch break, but the chance just didn’t arise.” she said apologetically.
- Shalahn, nurse

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.
Ensign Park

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.
Marius

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.”
Ensign Park

OOC: I’ve been entirely cut out of this thread now, so I’ll join again when there’s a good spot. ~Linds
OOC: You’re back in.
Tigress smiled at Ben. She held a pad out for him.” I am not very fimilar with artic spices”she said.
Ensign Tigress

Ben typed in Polar Bears on the padd and it showed a picture of a big furry white creature with an elongated nose and big paws. ” that’s what a polar bear looks like.”
Ensign Park, Security

Tigress smiled.” There so cute” Tigress said she looked at been. “ I’m glad you convinced me to come” she said.
Ensign Tigress

Julien was dressed in his usual all-black and sleek combo that went so well with his tan and his short black curls. He entered the holodeck alone, intentionally being late. Shortly after entering he stopped and while the door swished shut behind him he gave the assembled a quick scan with his android eye, registering who was already here. It was tough not to stop dead at Marishka, she was looking her usual … super sexy and elegant at the same time. But so did La’kia, just in a wholly different way.
