Max was wired following his shift in sickbay. He should be tired. He should be exhausted. Instead, he had a burst of energy that needed to either be exercised out or channeled into a creative pursuit. He chose the latter, setting up his easel, for the first time since his arrival at Magellan, in Observation Deck 3. His movements in setting up were swift, somewhat rushed. He knew that this burst of energy would fade and the tedium of a proper setup might be the thing to kill the project entirely.

During the day, as a doctor, it was about order and process. As a painter, however, Max was willing to take liberties with those processes. It was as close to chaos as he really allowed himself.

Max noted that retreating to a seldom used observation deck was, perhaps, not as wise as trying to meet new people and maybe even make some friends. That, however, he wanted no part in manufacturing. He would hopefully meet people when it wasn’t to treat their burns or broken bones. For now he was content to go about his ordinary hobbies that he might settle down into the ordinary a bit faster.

He prepared his palette somewhat haphazardly. No matter. He didn’t intend to paint a masterpiece this day. He just wanted to paint.

Dr. Woolley, Medical

OOC: Is there an Observation Deck on a Starbase? LOL I’ll go with the flow, they must have an Observation Deck of some type:)

Chandel had a few minutes and had decided to take the time to investigate the station. She first peeked around the door to see who was on the Deck not wishing to interrupt anyone. She spotted the Doctor beginning to paint,
“Hello, Doctor. Am I interrupting?” She asked quietly not wishing to startle him.

Counselor Chandel

Max’s brush stopped with precision the moment the silence had been broken. No smudge, no errant ink. His reflexes trained for the precise nature of surgery. He smiled as he lifted the brush tip from the canvas, turning to see the counselor.

“Counselor, not at all. Welcome.” he said as he set the brush on top of the palette. “I spend my days fixing and patching. It’s nice to spend some of my off hours making something from nothing.” he explained.

Dr. Woolley, Medical

Chandel smiled widely as she stepped in.”It’s beautiful.” She said with sincere appreciation. “An excellent past time to counteract the business and stress of medical care.” She added.

Counselor Chandel

“Dr. Odraavi recommended this spot to me. She said it was a little less traveled than some other areas of the ship.” he dabbed his brush in a smear of paint, twirling the brush slightly to fully capture the pigment before raising it again to the canvas. “I hope I didn’t encroach upon your secret hideaway out here. I imagine quiet spaces are somewhat few and far between.”

Dr. Woolley, Medical

“Ah not at all. It is quite possible to enjoy a space with someone else too.” Chandel said with a warm smile. She moved over to where comfortable benches sat in front of the viewports and sat down on one, half facing it and Woolley.
“I can sit here quietly enjoying the view if you wish to paint. Or we can chat if it doesn’t bother you while you paint.” She said. She hadn’t had the chance to meet this doctor yet as he hadn’t answered her message about the yearly psych but she could easily do it informally here as in her office. She had become quite use to such tactics with her previous Captain.

Counsellor Chandel

“Always happy to chat. In my line of work, we value the ability to multitask” he said with a smile, his eyes never leaving the canvas as the brush moved.

Dr. Woolley, Medical

“Always a useful skill.” Chandel said with a soft smile as she looked out the viewport. “This is my first placement on a Starbase and I am finding it quite an interesting venture. How long have you been here, Doctor?”
