<Warren`> Stardate: 10-581.10.14
<Warren`> Location: PAX Station
<Warren`> 6* While on a brief lull between assignments from Cienna and the next place on the mission, a certain day has befallen one Serena Cran...
* Warren` sits in the cafeteria - alone at a table. The crew members are too afraid to sit near the Captain. He eats some soup.
* Slasher sits at his desk, running through papers, it seems he's been working a lot lately
* Seraphna takes a seat across from Warren, smiling as she sets down a rice bowl
* Ariel sits quietly in one corner of the cafeteria, reading over reports on a datapad.
* Warren` looks up from eating his soup, a lock of black hair falling in his eyes. He looks at Sera neutrally, perhaps with a hint of annoyance that his lunch is being bothered by someone.
<Seraphna> "How are you doing Captain?"
<Warren`> I'm well, Lieutenant Cran. Do you need help with something?
<Warren`> 6* General Venerator appears at Ariel's table, smiling at her warmly. "Hello, Ariel. It's been about a month since that misfortunate accident in the security room, so I was wondering if you were feeling better."
<Seraphna> "I just noticed you always seem to eat alone, thought you might like a change of pace." ^^
* Katrina` sits in her office, eating a sandwich while she files reports from some of the engineering staff. So far they're the only ones who visit her, claiming to be stressed out. In reality she believes they're trying to make excuses to see her.
* Slasher puts his papers down, rubbing his chin.
* Ariel looks up at the General, and nods, "I believe I am operating at optimal proficiency, sir."
<Warren`> Should you not be back at Earth on a day like this? 6He takes another bite of soup.
<Slasher> NRP: Thick soup.
<Warren`> NRP: Its got meaty chunks
<Ariel> NRP: It's made of PEOPLE!
<Warren`> <Venerator> That's good to hear. I was worried about you at first - it seemed you might be taking it a bit too fast, but you seem to be doing well now.
* Slasher pullso ut his datapad and begins typing on it
<Seraphna> "A day like this?"
<Ariel> "I have not assumed any duties that would be beyond my physical capibilities."
* Ariel hesitates.
* Seraphna raises an brow slightly
<Warren`> The day you were born. 6He swallows some of his drink.
<Seraphna> "Oh... I suppose..."
<Warren`> <Venerator> Is there something wrong?
<Ariel> "I will endevor to refrain from activites that place undue stress on my superiors."
<Warren`> <Venerator> Oh, no, I didn't mean that, Ariel. You're one of us. We look out for each other. And I, personally, want you to be in fine helath, not because of duty, but for your sake.
* Warren` eats some more soup, studying Sera carefully, as if looking for some sort of weakness.
* Slasher 's datapad beeps at him, he looks down at it, then stands up.
* Seraphna looks back at him, the grins, sticks her tounge out at him and winks, then gets up, heading over for Ariel's table.
* Ariel pauses, then nods. "I will try to... worry my you, as little as I can manage, while performing my duties."
<Warren`> .... 6He watches her go, almost appalled at her military sense.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Well, hello Serena. Happy Birthday. Do you have anything planned today?
* Slasher stretches his neck form side to side then heads out of the Security Room and down the hall
* Seraphna smiles and nods to him, "Hello Vennie, nothing special I guess."
* Seraphna takes a seat next to Ariel
<Warren`> <Venerator> Really? Well, I have my birthday gift to you in the hanger. I managed to sweet talk some of the military organizations into lending me a deleric shuttle that you can take apart and put back together to your liking without worry.
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #taw
* Seraphna squeals and smiles, moving over to hug him, "Thanks!"
* Warren` continues to eat his meal in peace, eating alone at his table once again
<Warren`> 6* Venerator hugs her back. "It was nothing."
* Ariel smiles slightly, "Best wishes on your anniversary."
* Katrina` finishes filing her paperwork while in her office, turning on some music to listen to while she starts writing some reports.
* Seraphna smiles, "Thanks Ari." ^^
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
* Slasher steps into the cafeteria making his way to the food court area
* Red_Fox wanders into the cafeteria a moment after Slasher
* Xanatos`Durran strolls into the cafeteria type area, wearing jogging pants, a white tank, and a towl hanging on his shoulders, he moves over to where the food is and grabs an apple. Seems he has been doing some training.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Well, I have some reports I need to make so we can start our next planet next week. You all take care. 6He waves, moving away from the cafeteria.
<Seraphna> "See you later!" ^^
* Seraphna sits down next to Ari again and sighs
* Ariel stands up and salutes Venerator, though with a slight casualness to it
* Slasher begins grabbing a lot of food, mosty meat and rice.
* Xanatos`Durran strolls over to a seat, not one set one in particular, and just plops on down, munching on his apple.
* Slasher walks over to a table and sits down, he quickly begins to eat
* Warren` finishes his meal, standing up with the tray and sliding it back to the staff. He walks out of the cafeteria briskly, always in a hury.
<Seraphna> "So what are you doin today Ari?"
* Red_Fox sits down with Slasher. "How're you doing?"
* Ariel returns to her seat, "Briefing myself on the current situations."
* Slasher stops eating, and looks over at Red Fox, staring at her for a second, wether he's angry that she's talking to him or not is hard to tell. 1"Fine. You?"
<Red_Fox> "Not so bad."
* Katrina` finishes her report and steps out of her office, eating a sandwich while she walks down the hallway toward the cafeteria to get some more snacks.
* Xanatos`Durran swallows a bite of the apple and lightly begins to whistle, propping his legs up onto the table and leaning back some.
* Slasher continues eating, not wasting any time in eating it.
<Seraphna> "Briefing yourself all day long?"
* Katrina` steps into the cafeteria, finishing her sandwich as she walks over to the food. She's wearing her military outfit, as always, and has her hair pulled back in a ponytail. She studies the fruit, grabbing an apple.
* Red_Fox looks on the verge of talking, but doesn't speak
* Slasher finishes his food, then looks back at Red Fox. 1"You were gonna say something?
<Ariel> "As long as nessisary to maintain awareness of the situation."
<Red_Fox> "It wasn't anything important."
<Seraphna> "Wanna do something? All that extra work has to be boooooring."
* Katrina` walks toward the exit, stopping by Sera's table. She stops, taking a bite of her apple as she thinks, then it hits her
<Katrina`> Oh, it's your birthday, isn't it?
<Slasher> It obviously was important enough for you to have thought about it.
<Ariel> "Boring?"
* Seraphna nods up at Kat, "Yeah."
* Slasher eyes Red Fox, waiting.
<Red_Fox> "Really, it's nothing. Just wondering if you know what's coming up."
<Slasher> Elaborate on what you mean.
<Katrina`> Well, happy birthday, then. Sometime when you two aren't busy we should go clothes shopping and get you an outfit.
<Red_Fox> "If anything's going to be happening in the next few days."
<Slasher> You'd have to talk to Captain Carmichael or Lt. Commander Durran.
<Red_Fox> "Okay."
* Seraphna blushes
<Seraphna> "I'd like that."
* Warren` steps into the security office when he sees a new report coming in. He sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose and cursing under his breath
* Seraphna looks to Ariel, "Come on, reading through reports all day has to bore you somewhat..."
<Katrina`> Just pick the day. 6She says to Sera, letting her get back to Ariel. She steps out of the cafeteria, taking a bite out of her apple.
* Slasher stands upright, grabbing his tray. 1"Is that all?
<Red_Fox> "Yeah, that's everything."
* Slasher turns away, heading over to the receptacle, playing his tray there.
* Katrina` walks over to a memo on the wall talking about an engineer keg party down on Europa. She eats her apple as she reads the details.
* Red_Fox eats quietly now
* Xanatos`Durran finishes up his apple and stands up, he tosses it toward the trashcan as he begins to head out.
* Slasher walks by Katrina, then stops. 1"Good day Lt. McCormick.
<Katrina`> And to you, Lt. Winters.
* Ariel takes a sip of her water, "I do not find it... boring."
<Slasher> *looks at the wall* An engineering keg party...
<Katrina`> They know how to keep themselves entertained while in space
* Seraphna sighs and rests her head on the table
<Seraphna> "You're very curious... you know that?"
<Slasher> That'd make that the 4th one this month.
<Katrina`> I believe it would. 6She takes a slow bite out of her apple as she looks at Slasher. "Funny, I can't recall you at them."
<Ariel> "No."
* Xanatos`Durran steps by Katrina and Slasher, "He can't hold his alchohal." He continues on by.
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Wow, I really misspelled that. Oh well.
<Slasher> So you've been to every on..*eyes Durran as he walks by* Atleast I don't need a baby bottle to drink mine.
<Seraphna> "Don't you ever wanna do anything but your duty Ari?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Nothing like sucking on a nipple. *He laughs as he continues around a corner*
* Katrina` watches Durran go, studying him as she chews on her apple.
* Warren` begins to make preparations in the security room, paging Durran to see him.
* Ariel hesitates
<Slasher> As I was asking before I was rudely interupted...So you've been to every one of them then?
<Katrina`> Maybe. 6She says slyly, turning back to look at Slasher.
* Xanatos`Durran whistles and then makes another turn, making his way for the security room.
<Slasher> One would say you were a coniseur of liqour.
<Seraphna> "Come on Ari... you can tell me."
<Katrina`> Oh?
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the security room. "Sir?"
* Xanatos`Durran is still not in uniform though.
<Slasher> So are you recommending that I attend one of these parties?
<Warren`> We have a shuttle about to arrive in a few moments. General Cran. It seems he's decided to make a guest appearance here today. I've alerted the General and he'll be ready to greet Cran, I want us to be there on duty for him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Understood. I'll let everyone know the situation. Eta on General Cran?
<Katrina`> It's a blast. You might not remember much, afterward, though
<Warren`> 5 minutes
<Slasher> So you also think that I can't hold my alcohol?
<Katrina`> Well, it's the rumor going on thanks to the Lt. Commander.
<Ariel> I do not believe I am capible of answering that question to your satisfaction.
* Red_Fox heads over, placing her tray in the receptacle as she goes
<Slasher> Huh...Guess this would be the time to prove that rumor wronmg.
<Warren`> I will move to the hanger now to make sure it is secure. 6He moves out of the security room for the stairs.
<Xanatos`Durran> ...damnit. Ok i'll alert everyone. *turning his taps the comm on his wrist, punching up all security personnel.* "All right security team, General Cran is expected in the hanger in 5 minutes to meet with General Venerator. Captain Carmicheal wants us there. Better get on the move."
<Katrina`> I look forward to it. 6She glances at Slasher's comm. "Looks like you're on duty."
* Xanatos`Durran moves into his room and throws on his uniform, making sure it is nice and neat looking, then he steps out and jogs for the hanger.
<Slasher> Hmmm...I'll see you there then. *he bows his head lightly then turns, walking away*
* Seraphna eyes Ariel's comm
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... looks like my Dad came to visit."
* Warren` steps into the hanger and nods to Venerator. They both stand there
* Slasher walks into the hanger, adjusting his uniform, he walks up beside Warren and stands there.
* Warren` nods to Slasher silently.
* Seraphna is currently in half dress, but looks down at herself conciously anyways
* Slasher barely nods his head in response.
* Xanatos`Durran slides to a halt outside the hanger entrance and steps in, taking a place with Slasher and Warren.
<Seraphna> ((Half Dress: Common term for an "at ease" uniform in the military, includes boots, pants, undershirt part of the uniform, no jacket or overshirt, and minimal decorations.
<Warren`> 6* A shuttle can be seen in the distance, rapidly approaching.
* Ariel stands, sliding away away her datapad. She is rarely seen without her full uniform. She bows her head to Sera, and heads to the hangar.
* Red_Fox heads in, shortly, likewise in "half dress"
* Slasher eyes Sera, a look of distaste glances his face for a mere second before returnign to normal.
* Warren` glances at Fox, as if making note of the half-dress look she has going on. He turns back to eye the shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren. "We weren't given much notice...."
<Slasher> *Red Fox's attire catches his attention for a short second also and he turns back*
<Ariel> NRP: Gasp! The girls aren't wearing any pants!
* Seraphna heads to her quarters to get fixed up, as she wasn't ordered to the bay
<Warren`> NRP: *Warren turns to scold*
<Warren`> Noted
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle lands in the hanger after the shields compensate for them.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Warren stands there looking professional, but has an erection since the girls have no pants.
* Ariel stands at attention.
* Red_Fox does likewise
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle powers down and Venerator steps forward. The doors open and Spade steps off the shuttle, his white trench coat billowing as the engines die down on the shuttle. It seems to be a custom made uniform for him, as it has military symbols on the coat. He eyes them all, trailing at their stances and half-dress looks, then stiffly turns and motions.
<Warren`> 6* General Cran steps off the shuttle, wearing a general's uniform. He passes Spade and steps forward to Venerator. <Cran> Hello, Vennie. <Venerator> Alexander. It's a pleasant surprise to see you. <Cran> Of course. We apologize for the late notice, but I'm here to see my daughter. You may..dismiss your security team
<Warren`> <Venerator> Of course. 6He nods to Warren, who in turn motions to his unit to disperse.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and moves over toward his shuttle, stepping right past Spade, Durran glances at him as he walks by. Observing him more fully. Then continues on his way.
<Warren`> 6* Spade stands off to the side, looking at Durran as he passes him, almost as if he knew he'd pass him.
* Seraphna heads down towards the bay from her quarters, all cleaned up and presentable
* Slasher turns, walking past Spade and Cran, eyeing the two as he walks by
<Warren`> 6* Spade doesn't meet Slasher's eyes, almost as if he has no interest in him. Cran studies him silently as he passes.
* Katrina` steps into her office, finishing her apple.
<Warren`> <Cran> Ah, my daughter. 6He turns from Slasher to look at Serena, studying her.
* Slasher steps out of the hanger and makes his way back to the Security Station
* Warren` remains in the hanger strangely, almost as if he's decided to stand around despite not being needed. Spade, in turn, seems to be remaining in the hanger much the same way.
* Ariel lingers, watching silently.
* Seraphna spots her father and smiles, saluting
* Red_Fox lingers also
<Warren`> 6* Cran returns the salute, standing in place.
* Seraphna rushes over and hugs him
<Warren`> 6* Cran puts an arm around Seraphna. "I've been getting excellent reports from your unit."
<Slasher> NRP: Only because everyones afraid to say otherwise!
<Warren`> 6* Spade turns his attention to Ariel, almost as if he can see right through her.
* Seraphna smiles happily, "I've been doing my very best Daddy."
<Warren`> <Cran> I would expect no less. 6He leads her to the shuttle, motioning at someone inside. An assistant walks down the shuttle ramp, holding a box. Cran takes it from him, turning to Sera. "I've brought you a birthday gift."
* Xanatos`Durran rummages through the ship and he then pulls out two poorly wrapped gifts, he moves back out and then begins to head for the exit. He would smile casually just to make it seem as if not all of the security personnel were snarreling meanies.
* Warren` eyes Durran silently.
* Seraphna smiles and giggles softly
<Seraphna> "THank you Daddy."
<Warren`> 6* Cran opens the box, revealing a priceless diamond necklace
* Seraphna stares
* Red_Fox blinks, then smiles
<Seraphna> "I-It's beautiful daddy."
<Slasher> NRP: <Sera> But it's not Malibu Gear! I HATE YOU!
<Warren`> 6* Cran closes the box, holding it out. "I believe one day you will find the appropriate time to wear it."
* Ariel turns away, slowly. Proceeding to exit the room.
<Warren`> 6* Spade turns his gaze from Ariel now, as if done analyzing her, his eyes trailing to the others.
* Seraphna takes it carefully and holds it, smiling, "Thank you..."
<Warren`> 6* Cran motions to the assistant who pulls out a very old book. "This is your more useful gift. It's an old edition of the Art of War. I believe it will suit you well." 6He takes the book and hands it to Sera.
* Seraphna takes it with much more of an eagerness, smiling, "Awesome! Thanks!" ^^
<Warren`> 6* Cran nods, turning to Venerator. "You've been gaining steady approval in the Senate. Pretty soon they might not consider my proposal at all." <Venerator> We can only see. A few planets signing alliances is just a temporary high for any government, as you know." 6Both men stare at each other, as if there's a tenseness there.
* Xanatos`Durran leaves the packages in the Sera's room. With a birthcard, the packages are two books, one on advanced Gear building, and the other is advanced Shuttle building. Just incase she needs the extra help.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I gotta goo.
* Xanatos`Durran has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Seraphna looks between the two sheepishly
<Warren`> <Cran> Good luck with your endeavors, Vennie. I have business to attend. 6He turns to Sera affectionately. "You look lovely, dear." 6He steps onboard the shuttle, along with the assistant.
* Seraphna blushes and smiles
<Seraphna> "Thanks Daddy."
<Warren`> 6* Spade steps forward, holding out a smaller box to her.
* Slasher steps into the Security Room and heads over to his desk, typing on his console.
<Warren`> <Spade> This is for you, Lady Cran.
* Seraphna blushes and takes it, nodding to him
<Seraphna> "Thank you Spade."
* Seraphna opens the box carefully
<Warren`> 6* Inside is a multi-purpose, latest made tool for building and working on engine parts and other machines.
<Slasher> NRP: *Warren drives out of it in a car and runs her over*
<Warren`> 6* Spade nods his head to Venerator, then turns and moves back to the shuttle ramp.
* Seraphna smiles happily and waves to him
<Warren`> 6* Once Spade is up the ramp, the shuttle powers up to full and lifts off, exiting the hanger. Venerator stands there momentarily, then moves to leave. Warren stands there silently.
<Seraphna> "Thank you!"
<Warren`> 6* Seraphna's datapad chimes with a received e-mail.
* Seraphna blinks and looks at her Datapad
<Warren`> 6* As does Warren's a moment later, Ariel's, and Fox's.
* Ariel looks down at her pad
* Slasher continues working on filing his paper work.
<Warren`> 6* The e-mail reads exactly like the memo in the hallway - telling them of the time and place of the Engineer Keg Party taking place tonight down on Europa.
* Red_Fox looks at her pad, and grins
* Katrina` glances at her pad telling her of the party she already knew about. She casually deletes it.
* Ariel sends a reply, stating that she recieved an email intended for someone else.
<Seraphna> NRP: Akbar> IT'S A TRAP!
* Slasher eyes the time on his console.
<Warren`> NRP: LOL
* Seraphna looks over at the others still present
* Warren` eyes his datapad, then deletes it
<Seraphna> "So..."
* Warren` glances at Sera briefly, then down at his datapad again as he puts it up
* Katrina` hops out of her office and heads to her room to change for tonight.
* Red_Fox heads for her room
* Seraphna smiles to Warren, then heads back to her quarters
* Warren` walks back into the hallway, passing Ariel
* Slasher rolls his chair backwards and spins around, putting some files away into a cabinet.
* Warren` heads into the security room, sitting down.
* Slasher rolls back to his desk. 1"Did oyu get that e-mail too?"
<Warren`> Yes.
<Slasher> Plan on heading down? *he begins typing absentmindedly while he talks*
<Warren`> No. 6He begins to write a report on Cran's arrival.
<Slasher> Not a drinker? *his fingers bounce around*
<Warren`> Not interested.
<Slasher> Interesting. *he taps his console several times, thinking*
* Warren` jots some facts down.
<Warren`> NRP: And so...a time jump shall begin.
<Warren`> 6* Later that evening...
* Warren` sits in his office, still doing reports. One of the shuttles has already been checked out to go to Europa.
<Slasher> There seems to be plenty of animosity between you and Spade.
<Warren`> Oh? 6He says with a grunt.
* Ariel idly patrols the halls, keeping an eye out for drunken troublemakers
<Slasher> You speak like you'd prefer not to talk about him.
<Warren`> 6* Almost all of the engineering crew is gone, having checked out several shuttles of their own earlier that morning to start the keg party on Europa.
<Warren`> Perhaps. 6He says, finishing the report he was working on and putting it up. He stands up, turning off his desk light.
<Slasher> You look like you need to take a load of....Sir.
<Warren`> I plan on it. 6He adjusts his uniform. "Good night, Lieutenant." 6He exits the room.
<Slasher> Good night Captain.
* Warren` enters his quarters and sits down on his bed, pulling out a good book.
* Slasher finishes typing on his console then logs out, shutting it off.
* Slasher stands up and walks out, heading to his room.
* Seraphna come out of her quarters sometime later, in plainclothes
* Slasher steps into his quarters.
<Warren`> 6* Only a few shuttles remain unchecked out to go down to Europa.
* Slasher steps back out, wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt and blue/gray jeans.
* Slasher begins walking towards the hanger
* Seraphna heads down to the Hangar as well.
* Red_Fox heads quietly to the hangar, in casual clothes
<Warren`> 6* They all run into each other!
* Slasher grunts disapprovingly as he slams into Sera and Red Fox
* Seraphna eeps!
* Warren` is now known as DeathStar
<Slasher> ...*walks by the two and heads into the hanger, heading over to the shuttle log-out personal and begins talking.
<Red_Fox> "Ahh, sorry about that."
<Seraphna> ((afk a moment))
* Red_Fox heads into the hanger a little after Slasher, making sure not to bump into anyone
* Slasher signs a shuttle out and walks over to it, hopping inside it and prepping it.
<DeathStar> 6* The cheerful computer on the shuttle talks to Slasher.
* Slasher casually begins typing on the console, shutting the voice off.
* Red_Fox heads on to the shuttle
<Slasher> *listens to the shuttle hum to life*
* Slasher turns back then looks back forward, lifting the shuttle off the ground and heading out of the hanger
* Slasher takes the shuttle down to the Europa
<DeathStar> 6* Slasher's shuttle, along with Fox, cross the various shield barriers around the planet, and soon enter it. The shields are producing a "night" effect for the planet and the city lights sparkle brightly as they come in.
* Slasher begins typing on the console, the shuttle slowing down in response as it lands.
* Slasher lands the shuttle alongside the otherones and shuts it off
<DeathStar> 6* They are in a large park area where the engineers have permission to have their keg party. The park is closed off to non-PAX personnel and loud music can be heard coming from the park. Lights are on the trees and already people are dancing drunkenly around
* Slasher stands up and and heads out of the shuttle, turnings to the large park.
* Slasher heads over to the large park, running his hand through his short hand.
<Slasher> NRP: Hair
<Red_Fox> NRP: Gah
* Red_Fox heads over also, grinning
<DeathStar> 6* One person runs past them and pukes in the bushes.
<Slasher> Hmmm...I hope there's something left for us...
* Slasher heads into the park, looking for either Katrina or the kegs.
<DeathStar> 6* They come across a huge table where beer is being poured into cups for people. Also, there's loads of chips and dip.
* Slasher grabs a cup, drinking it right away.
<DeathStar> 6* Nearby, several people are dancing together to the various songs being played.
* Red_Fox grabs a cup herself and starts to drink
* Slasher turns looking around to see what everyone sdoing
* Katrina` can be seen on the dance area, her hand around someone's neck as they both dance close together to the fast paced song. She's wearing a black shirt that shows her belly button and tight black pants. Her hair is down and fluffed out, making her seem almost seductive in nature. And by her dancing, she seems pretty loosened up from plenty of alcohol, especially since she seems to have no limits on the moves she's willing to do while dancing
* Slasher tosses the empty cup into a nearby garbage. 1"The engineers cut no expenses apparently"
* Slasher he reaches behind himself, grabbing another cup.
<DeathStar> 6* Some engineers crash through a table, others laughing at them.
* Slasher eyes Katrina, a smiles actually appearing on his face. He begins looking around, as if sizing people up.
* Red_Fox looks around idly
<DeathStar> 6* A few guys walk past Fox, eyeing her as they talk to each other.
<Seraphna> ((back!))]
* Slasher finishes his second cup and grabs two more cups.
* Slasher begins walking towards the dance area.
<DeathStar> 6* A few girls eye Slasher as they dance alone, hoping to catch his eye.
* Seraphna walks about the part, keeping away from the kegs
<Slasher> NRP: HOLY CRAP HOW'D SHE GET DOWN THERE?!
* Red_Fox eats chips, not yet wanting to dance
* Slasher downs one of the beers and tosses the cup to the side, he crosses his arms and leans against a tree.
<DeathStar> NRP: Well, you see...*flashback sequence begins*
<DeathStar> 6* A few guys check Sera out, making whistle sounds at her.
* Slasher turns his heads back, eyeing Sera, he takes another sip of his beer.
* Seraphna blushes and avoids thier gazes, looking for the others
* Katrina` finishes her wild dancing, waving goodbye to her dance partner as she strides over to the table, grabbing a cup of beer.
<Red_Fox> Nice moves
* Slasher finishes off the last of this cup and heads back to the beer table.
<Katrina`> Thank you, Stella. When will I get to see your moves?
* Slasher slides up next to Katrina, grabbing another beer
* Red_Fox finishes off a beer, then heads over. "Now works."
* Red_Fox starts to dance, pretty well, in fact
<Slasher> Where'd you learn to dance like that?
<Red_Fox> Ah, just practise.
<Slasher> NRP: *is talking to KAt.
<Slasher> NRP: Since I'm next to her.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oops
<Red_Fox> NRP: Yeah, makes sense
-> [Katrina`] PING
-> [DeathStar] PING
* Katrina has joined #taw
<Slasher> NRP: What did ya miss?
* Katrina finishes her beer, tossing it away as she watches Fox dance. Several male engineers watch her, too
* Seraphna spies them finally and heads over to the others
* Katrina glances at Slasher.
<Katrina> Practice.
* Katrina` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Katrina is now known as Katrina`
<Slasher> Interesting. *catches Sera out of the corner of his eye, a look of pain appears on his face for a split second, he takes a swig of his beer*
* Katrina` takes another cup of beer, drinking it quickly and tossing it aside. She applauds Fox.
* Slasher watches.
<Slasher> Huh...That didn't take you more than 5 seconds to down.
<Katrina`> Feel threatened?
<Slasher> Sounds like a challenge.
* Katrina` laughs, turning to Seraphna
<Katrina`> Hey, Serena. Surprised to see you here.
* Slasher reaches back, grabbing a bottle of beer and a straw, he then grabs Katrina a new cup of beer.
<Seraphna> "Well I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about." ^^
* Slasher pops the top off and sticks the straw into the bottle.
* Katrina` motions at Fox dancing alone.
<Katrina`> Check her out.
<Slasher> I've noticed. Now back to that challenge.
<Katrina`> NRP: She was motioning at Sera to look at Fox.
<Slasher> NRP: Ahhh...
<Slasher> NRP: IT's hard to tell since Sera talks once every 30.
* Slasher tilts the bottle back into his mouth, kicking the straw off to the side of his mouth, the beer shoots down emptying in less then 3 seconds.
* Seraphna watches fox?
* Katrina` watches Slasher, glancing at Sera
<Katrina`> That's something you should avoid doing.
* Seraphna stares at Slasher
<Seraphna> "Yeah... I took a few detox pills already though."
* Slasher tosses the bottle through the air and watches it crash into a garbage can.
<Slasher> Detox pills are for those that can't hold their liqour.
<Katrina`> You took detox pills before you've drank anything?
* Red_Fox heads back for a bit, to grab some more chips and drink
<Slasher> Why do you it's dangerous Katrina?
<Seraphna> "I checked to make sure I only took a safe amount."
<Seraphna> "Didn't wanna wind up like I did on the alien ship."
* Katrina` grabs a cup of beer, drinking it casually as she talks with them.
<Red_Fox> Hey Sera, having fun?
<Seraphna> "It's... interesting.:
<Seraphna> "I'm figuring out the fun seems to require being drunk..."
<Katrina`> That's half the blast.
<Red_Fox> Yeah, pretty much.
<Slasher> The drinking only add's to the experience.
<DeathStar> 6* Three guys can be seen singing loudly and out of tune while they rock back and forth
* Slasher reaches back grabbing another cup and tkaes a sip.
<Slasher> So what can we expect from these parties Katrina?
* Seraphna giggles at Slasher
<Katrina`> They're engineers. Wait a few more hours and they'll try to build something. That's really high and really unstable.
* Slasher turns to Sera. 1"Looks like you'll fit right in.
<Seraphna> NRP: Sera gets them to build a worldkilling device that works perfectly.. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
* Katrina` finishes her cup, tossing it away.
<Slasher> How many have you had already Kat?
<Katrina`> Winters, I've had so much at this point I couldn't count on my fingers.
<Slasher> Even with your toes?
* Red_Fox laughs, and drinks another
* Seraphna giggles and watches them, remaining the Designated... ummm... Shuttle Driver...
<Katrina`> If I tried. 6She spots a single man dancing by himself. She seems to be sizing him up.
* Seraphna looks at the man, then at Kat, "Hmmm? Getting an idea?"
* Red_Fox looks the guy over
* Slasher downs the rest of his beer and tosses the cup behind him
* Slasher reaches and grabs another cup
<Katrina`> I'm thinking...9 out of 10. What about you girls?
<DeathStar> 6* A few engineers are hundled together, talking about building a tower to the station
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... I think you've had a few too many hun."
<Red_Fox> 7 or 8 at best.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Bam from both of them
<Katrina`> It must be a coyote ugly syndrome.
* Slasher takes several steps away, pausing, then walks over to the dance floor, stopping and leanings against a tree again.
* Katrina` waits until Slasher is out of hearing range, then glances at Fox.
<Katrina`> So, are you going to find yourself someone to dance with?
<Red_Fox> Yeah, but not sure who yet
<Seraphna> "Dunno..."
<Katrina`> Well, I think I'll go dance with Mr. 7 or 8. 6She waves goodbye, heading over to the guy. Moments later, the two of them are dancing.
* Slasher looks down at his half full cup staring at it deeply, he then begins to balance it on his pointer finger.
<Red_Fox> Sure.
* Slasher snatches the beer with his other hand offh is finger and drinks it
<DeathStar> 6* People grab beer next to the two girls.
* Slasher crushes the cup, tossings it around in his hand.
* Katrina` finishes a song with the guy, then moves back over. She grabs another cup, drinking
<Katrina`> Okay, he has no sense of how to dance
* Red_Fox laughs
* Slasher flips the crushes cup off to the side
<Katrina`> You know, Slasher looks bored over there, Fox.
* Slasher scans the croud
<Slasher> NRP: *On the contrary, Slasher is currenty writing a ballad*
* Slasher turns, and heads back to the table
* Katrina` finishes her drink, leaning back on the table
<Red_Fox> Well, maaaybe.
* Slasher reaches over, grabbing another cup
* Red_Fox does likewise
<Red_Fox> NRP: BRB
<Katrina`> So, Serena, do you plan on dancing tonight?
<Seraphna> "I dunno... I feel nervous around guys I've never really met before..."
<Slasher> You could always dacne with Katrina
<Katrina`> I'd love to dance with you, Sera, if you want.
<DeathStar> 6* Jimmy the Lonely Engineer sighs in defeat and walks off before asking Sera to dance.
<Slasher> By my count Red Fox, you're a little behind me.
<Red_Fox> Oh, is that a challenge?
* Red_Fox downs another
<Slasher> Well it's not much of a challenge when I'm about 5 cups ahead of you.
* Seraphna looks lost
<Slasher> Sera appears lost. You should help her Fox
<Red_Fox> Slasher thinks he can handle alcohol better than me.
* Katrina` casually drinks another drink, slowly now.
<Slasher> Well by my counts I'm on my 9 cup.
* Slasher finishes another. 1"10th"
* Katrina` idlely grabs some chips, eating them
<Slasher> So Kat, how many towers have they tried to construct to date now?
<Katrina`> Four.
* Red_Fox grabs another cup and drinks
* Slasher reaches to grab another cup, his hand falters slightly causing the cup to tip slightly before he catches it and picks it up
* Seraphna sighs and takes a seat somewhere
* Katrina` sits next to Sera, glancing at her
<Katrina`> What's wrong?
<Slasher> Do I need to slow down so you can catch up Fox?
<Seraphna> "Dunno... guess I just feel left out... *sarcasticly* the woes of being young!"
<Red_Fox> I'll catch up when you're out cold.
<Red_Fox> And then I'll pass you.
<Slasher> I've never passed out.
* Katrina` sips her cup, leaning back in her seat
* Slasher finishes off the beer and tosses the cup to the ground, grabbing another one.
<Katrina`> You should dance some, even if you dance by yourself. Live it up.
* Slasher downs it quickly, tossing the empty cup to the side, which is incidentaly where Kat and Sera are currently at
* Katrina` gets hit in the arm, glaring at Slasher
<Katrina`> Hey!
<Seraphna> "I guess I'll try..."
* Slasher turns, slightly shocked. 1"Sorry?!"
* Seraphna blushes and gets up, going to join the dancing
* Katrina` frowns a bit at Slasher, then turns to eye Seraphna dancing on the dance area.

* Seraphna blushes, panting a little, short of breath from the dancing, waiting for the next song
<DeathStar> 6* Another song picks up moments later, another fast beat songs. Her adoring male crowd shows no interest in leaving.
* Slasher almost looks as if he's disapointed in Jimmy's response, he then turns back to watching the dance area
* Seraphna blushes and starts dancing again, unused to this attention even as the rich girl
<DeathStar> 6* The engineering tower crashes in the background
* Slasher watches it crash, not budging at all from his spot
* Red_Fox laughs, downing another cup as she watches the proceedings
* Slasher takes several steps forward then pulls out his datapad, checking the time.
<Slasher> Fox, what do you think of Durran?

<DeathStar> NRP: *suddenly, all the TAW enemies show up and blow up things*
* Seraphna keeps on dancing, starting to get into it
<DeathStar> NRP: *Fox is a drunken stupor*
* Slasher snaps his fingers infront of Red Fox's face
<DeathStar> 6* As the next song ends, several guys quickly ask Sera for her phone number and address.
* Seraphna blushes, "I-I... ummm... hehe..."
* Slasher walks upto Kat. 1"Apparently Red Fox drank herself catatonic. I'm gonna head back to the station."

<Slasher> *helps Kat up*
* Red_Fox grabs another cup
* Slasher starts walking towards his shuttle.

<Slasher> Did you have fun Kat?
<Katrina`> A blast.
<Slasher> I would've never expected you to have this kind of side. *he walks upto the shuttle, opening the door*
<Katrina`> Why's that? 6She steps onto the shuttle, sitting down in a seat and crossing her legs.
* Seraphna eventually escapes and heads for the shuttle
<Katrina`> So, Serena, did you give your number out? 6She asks her when she boards.
<Slasher> You're office says otherwise. *he steps into the shuttle and heads upto the cockpit, he seems to be using the chairs as a brace to help him along the way
* Red_Fox sits down in the shuttle, and yawns a little
<DeathStar> NRP: Well, I'm going to head out. We should call it an end here.
<Slasher> NRP: Yes...But then I won't drive drunk,..
<DeathStar> NRP: True
