Bri: So that means you'll help us mom?... its better than doing what we were gonna do, though we may still gotta if we don't get anything back... *she turns her head back from krystal, looking at T'lera and winking before looking back*
Cunningham: So... we are doing dinner then?.. also Still would like a drink. *she looks to Reina* maybe you can make me one. A lemon drop if you could.
******
Donovan: Dessert? sure... sure... and yeah just gonna let her sleep for now
******
Freeman: and I know where Huyang is. I can always take my U-Wing for a visit now that I've had a chance to grab it since we've been sitting in Nar Shadda most the week... and this is an important milestone... unless Jorin needs to watch.

Dr shimura: perhaps when this job is done I will set up an appointment. It’s just base line tests like blood work and maybe a tissue sample, a few brain scans and the like nothing invasive unless she allows it.
Saki: so what can you do as a vampire besides the ice stuff?
******
Kara: *suddenly snaps awake with a snort, she looks around confused for a moment* what was I doing here?
******
Evelynn: *remains timid as she looks at the ground with her ears folded down*
Jaessa: eve I’m not mad I just don’t want you swearing, save it for when you’re older ok?
Evelynn: do mando’a ones count?
Jaessa: yes they do. And dessert sounds good
******
Jorin: I can be there if you want me to.
******
Val?: why? Because I truly hate them. Everyone even humans. I hate it all…. all the disgusting little piles of filth that call the galaxy home. They’re all weak and useless little more then insects to me. This reality is no different just more pathetic xenos with about as much worth as a fly….. I can’t even begin to describe the hatred I have, the rage building up when I see their horrid forms. This isn’t a fresh start it’s another hellhole for me….

Krystal: Bri... I already said I'd see what I can do.
*looks at Cunningham*
Yea we're still getting food.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Nexa: That seems fine for now. *She checks their course on the terminal built into her desk, they're getting close to Bajor*
Janri: Well, I think I have super seduction powers but I've never tried to use them on anyone before. Intentionally anyway. I don't need to breathe but I guess that's not really a power, there's some other things I think I might be able to do one day but... I'm still trying to learn how to use my ice let alone try what I've seen her do. *She says thinking to Val*
***
Reina: I can give it a shot, doesn't sound too hard.
T'Lera: So... we're doing dinner, or are they doing dinner and we're gonna wait? *She looks a little confused*
***
Samaia: I'll make us some brownies and ice cream. *She starts to go through the ingredients Henha has, Henha ruffling Evelynn's hair before coming to help her cook*
Henha: I think a brownie a la mode sounds good right now. Make sure to make them extra melty.
***
Clea: We should still visit coruscant at some point...
Reashe: If you have to go build your saber you should do it. We're... safe I think.
***
Nova: You even hate your own people? Why? Because they are weaker than you? Can you not see their strength in how they survive? Even though the Imperium hates us we Tau have always respected you Gue'la, your strength of character. We may be young but we understand. That is why my people have tried to help yours understand the Greater Good. But... if you hate your own people then why do you go on? Why do you fight? I know you don't care about the opinion of a filthy xeno, but I don't understand. *She seems almost incredulous hearing this, she knows that the Gue'la can be very hateful but this feels different. She gets closer to Val without getting too close to better watch her expression for some hint that might help her understand this hatred*
Bri: We're doing dinner. Not gonna let them eat while we watch... *she looks to Reina* can you help find Jakara please? Like... some kinda vampire to vampire resonance or something?
*****
Donovan: never really used to eat too much sweet stuff before the war... but you know when society collapses and leaves you without it, makes you miss it.
*****
Freeman: I'm asking if you want to be, not if I want you to.
Seku: she mutters something quietly
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

Dr shimura: fascinating I’ve never come across anything like this before…. Medical science has always been able to explain such phenomena… but real life vampires break the very laws of reality. I mean magic and immortality, drinking the blood of mortals to sustain one’s self it was just a myth born of the old earth history of Vlad the impaler… *she looks over at janri* is there another?
******
Kara: *shrugs figuring she wondered off somewhere and gets up with a stretch and a yawn* I need a nap…
******
Evelynn: what’s a brownie?
Jaessa: *shrugs* some sort of cake like thing maybe I’ve never had them.
*******
Jorin: I’d be glad to watch. *she gives a soft smile*
Kenzie: *her ear flicks towards seku as she gives her a quizzical expression* you wanna repeat that?
******
Val?: of course you wouldn’t understand your kind never do. *her expression is solid as steel as she looks at the tau with more annoyance then anything. It’s hard to get any feel from her. With a sigh she rolls her eyes as if having some internal debate* enough about this. Is your ship salvageable or do you want to go somewhere else… I’m only doing this once then I’m gone….

Janri: I've met a few but not too many. I'm something of a... special case. There's one serving on another ship the... Lexington I think? Or the Exeter? Not sure which one they're on at the moment. *She avoids mentioning Val, not sure if that would be a good idea for Val.*
Nexa: The one my mother is thinking of has a lot of similar qualities but she's a bit... different, I've met her a handful of times she's a doctor.
***
Reina: I can try, but if she doesn't want to be found I'm not sure my senses can detect her, I'm still working on that. *She starts to focus, looking around*
T'Lera: I could try and reach out telepathically, but I don't... *She trails off, quivering nervously as she thinks back to that white abyss she was trapped in for what felt like millenia*
***
Samaia: *As she starts mixing the batter and such together* They're mostly chocolate desserts, sort of made like a cake but different meant to be smaller and thicker. You can taste some of the leftover if you want while its baking. *She starts to fill a pan*
***
*Clea scratches at one of her eyebrow ridges*
***
Nova: I don't know for sure if it can be salvaged. I was initially planning on using its communications array to call for extraction but that seems moot. Do you know another location where people might be that you could take me? Maybe I could try and learn more of this strange place we find ourselves in. *She looks a little surprised by the offer but accepts it without question*
Bri: *she nods and follows krystal* Thought we'd be having dinner at "Home." didn't feel like a home cooked meal? *she asks krystal while she reassuringly puts a hand on T'Lera's shoulder.*
Cunningham: *follows* drinks are drinks and a meal is a meal. I just hope my crew enjoys what they've forgone for so long.
*****
Donovan: Think you can throw in some peanut butter?

Seku: Not particularly, no. *she says having more drink*

Dr shimura: hmmm what about the one that turned you? Are they around? I believe old earth legend calls them sires. A teacher of sorts.
******
*reina can tell that Kara is in brianas quarters*
******
Jaessa: ah more sugar…..
Evelynn: *skips over watching intently, her tail swaying excitedly*
******
Kenzi: *raises her brow* heard you the first time so it’s fine. These ears aren’t for show you know *she points at the feline ears on her head*
Jorin: what’s going on?
Kenzie: eh don’t worry about it.
******
Val?: I’ll just drop you off at earth. You’ll be their problem afterwards…. *she looks even more agitated as she turns around* hold on to me and keep your eyes closed if you value your sight and sanity…
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Janri: Yes and no. It's complicated, but I do have a teacher. *she rubs her arm, the air getting colder for a moment as she thinks of the events of that day but she relaxes after a moment and the chill fades*
***
Reina: It looks like she went back to your quarters. That's not too far.
T'Lera: Why'd she go there? Well we can go invite her to dinner.
***
Samaia: Shouldn't be too much trouble. *she adds some peanut butter to the mixture* Unfortunately I'm not too good at desserts that don't have sugar in them, but I could try to learn some. *as she puts the brownies in to bake she offers the mixing spoon to Evelynn still covered in some batter*
***
Reashe: Well... I guess as long as the mood is better.
***
Nova: As you say, I never thought I would see this Earth... even if it is another one than where we come from. *she places a hand on Val's shoulder and nods*
Bri: lets just make a stop on the way, its right here. *she says, stopping at the door to her quarters and opening it* Kara?
**********
Donovan: I have a Ricotta cheesecake recipe you may enjoy that i could share. could also try baked apples, grilled peaches
*******
Seku: So long as you don't make it an issue *she says sipping her drink*

Dr shimura: i see. well back to that task at hand, how much farther is it?
******
kara: *yawns as she scratches her ear* hmm? what do you need, i was about to take a nap.
******
evelynn: *lets out a small mew as she takes the spoon licking the batter and purring happily*
jaessa: i suppose i will have to try it out some time. *she says to donovan then looks over to samaia* it would be a nice alternative so the little one doesn't get hyper from it....
******
kenzie: aren't you just a ball of sunshine.
jorin: i still fail to see what is going on.....
******
val?: *with out a word they go thru a rift. in a second they're spit out on what looks to be a space station* eh close enough i guess. this is earth space dock. *she starts walking off* dont let the door hit you on the way out, good bye.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *she checks the console and the ship drops out of warp a few minutes later* We're here now, I can have the crew prepare the cargo for you.
***
T'Lera: *she waves from behind Bri* You're invited to Dinner with the others.
***
Samaia: *she pats Evelynn's head and ruffles her hair* Oh a little sugar won't hurt her... well, we might need to watch that she doesn't sneak an extra brownie or two.
***
Clea: I'm confused too... *her ears twitch*
Reashe: Maybe we should go do something else? Is there something on this ship for recreation? Other than er... certain things.
***
Nova: *She stands there in her suit of power armor just looking confused* Thank you Gue'la. Though... who do I talk to here? I've never seen anything like this? *the Tau girl looks around in awe of the station. It reminds her of some of her people's technology but grander, so bright compared to the imperium*
Bri: yeah we're having food. C'mon. mom said she'll help too.
**********
Donovan: as long as she doesn't get into some of the boxes of sugar bombs i brought over from the hell i was.
*********
Freeman: what certain recreation things do you mean?...
Seku: Theres a jedi training room with floating platforms and a buncha stuff like that.

kara: *her ears flick as she does an exaggerated feline stretch, getting a meow* oh, ok. so i guess it all worked out then?
******
evelynn: *purrs and mews happily from the affection*
jaessa: yeah i'll be keeping an eye on her. *she looks over at donovan* what are sugar bombs?
******
jorin: well there is the combat circle for all your grudges and disputes. i set up a shooting range for training and recreation and of course we have competitive drinking. oh theres also cu'bikad, and the holodeck on the crusader *she says nodding to seku* i have a plan for that. i hope you dont mind me making a few modifications to it. nothing that will changes its appearance of course.
kenzie: lotta combat oriented stuff ay. *she nods then looks over at freeman doing a very suggestive motion with her hands then winks at him* that sorta thing
******
val?: *stops for a moment as if internally debating something before turning around with a groan* i dont know. got any idea on what you want to do? *she says crossing her arms and shifting her weight to one side, tail gently swaying behind her*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: Maybe we will... it sounds like I'll be doing atleast a few more jobs for our mutual acquaintance. We can beam you down when you're ready.
Janri: I wouldn't mind that. *she gives a smile*
***
T'Lera: Sort of. Maybe. But there's food atleast. *she rubs the back of her neck* Someone spoiled basically our entire plan... *She gives a look to Bri*
***
*When the brownies are ready Samaia begins to take them out and serving them, getting some ice cream for those who want to try and a la mode. She's humming some song seeming to be in a good mood*
***
Reashe: *She blushes at Kenzie's crude gesture but she has a faint bashful smile*
Clea: Oh, I suppose we do have the holodeck, I don't think I've used it once since we got here.
***
Nova: Explore? Get some food? There's other stuff but if you're wishing to take part... *She tilts her head, curious why the Inquisitor is interested but she doesn't seem against the concept*
Bri: *she whispers to T'Lera* all part of the plan *she smirks and winks*
********
Donovan: Cereal. 100 percent daily value of sugar. *he says, trying the brownie with ice cream
********
Seku: Don't got anyone to do that for me now.. *she says before force moving another bottle to her hand and pouring herself another drink*
Freeman: So what are we even all gonna do?

saki: *waves* bye.
******
kara: oh.... ok. i guess its all settled then. *she walks over* hi krystal, sorry i bailed out like that..... *she rubs her neck* anyway where to?
******
jaessa: *pokes at the brownie before trying it* hmm its not what im used to but its good i suppose.
evelynn: *has an overly large portion of ice-cream on her brownie as she goes in on it*
******
kenzie: oh uuh im sorry. *she says to seku then looks down at raeshe gently pulling her onto her lap and hugging her* are they uuh... deceased?
jorin: hmm. *she looks between kenzie and seku* maybe something light hearted like a movie on the holodeck?
******
val?: take part with you? no im just giving you a leg up i guess.... *she grumbles something under her breath* dumping you on ESD wasn't such a good idea.... if you want to come with me... id allow it. i know a few people that can give you a run down on whats going on in this galaxy. *she offers a hand*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: Until next time. *She gives a wave and has the crew beam them down and they begin the process of offloading all the supplies and cargo*
Janri: They weren't so bad, but maybe I shouldn't have made it so obvious I was doing magic... I was just trying to get more practice with the finer aspects.
Nexa: Don't worry about it, I don't think any harm was done... but I'd rather that orion woman not know that you're a vampire too... if she found out that in a way Val was your sire... *she sighs* Well, I don't know what we should do now, but we are near DS9, maybe we should go find something to do.
Janri: I could start cooking, maybe something like a stew?
***
T'Lera: The lounge. *She gives a nod, seeming in a better mood with Kara joining them*
***
Samaia: I'm kind of curious what sort of sweets you are used too. *She says with a teasing tone, offering a bit of her own Brownie to Jaessa which is prepared a bit differently*
***
Reashe: *She snuggles up against Kenzie with her back, even though the armor isn't exactly the most comfortable she still enjoys the gesture* I'm sorry to hear that...
***
Nova: That is okay with me... I don't know enough about this strange place to really know where to begin so I'm willing to trust you. *Despite their initial introduction, Nova is willing to trust her and takes her hand* Besides the other Gue'la keep staring at me. *she says with a joking tone*
Cunningham: I hope your lounge has an actual chef and bartender.
********
Donovan:*he keeps eating*
******
Seku: he isn't dead. he thought i was getting back into piracy because I helped you steal my damn ship so he dropped me. I told you all that less then an hour ago. its why we came here to drink.
Freeman: Kobanu has always been Self Righteous... I'm surprised it worked as long as it did.
Seku: Me too.

val?: *looks around then at herself still covered in blood* yeah... *she says typing on a padd before she pockets it and pulls them both thru a rift. a second later they end up on the bridge of a ship, nexa and janri see val? pop out of a rift with the tau right behind her* so i guess i picked up a stray or something....
******
kara: alright, um we got replicators. *shrugs* im also not to bad of a bartender myself. *she puts an arm around bri as they walk*
******
jaessa: tastes the same. *she says with a shrug* ive never been one for sweets anyway, to me food is just something to keep you going. it doesn't matter where it comes from.
******
jorin: ah relationship... im not very good with those
kenzie: you've never even been in one... *she looks over to seku* thats a stupid reason to dump you over. *she says taking a swig from a bottle* s'that really all jedi care about? having the moral high ground?
jorin: essentially yes, and technically jedi aren't allowed to be in relationships in the first place. forming attachments, jealousy leads to hate hate leads to anger and anger is a pathway to the dark side and all that nonsense. its been an issue in the order for a very long time.
kenzie: i read up a bit on the history... so basically they take you as kids, feed you some religious dogmatic cr*p and tell you if you feel anything you'll fall to the dark side what ever that is or burn in h*ll or some sh*t... its a f*cking cult!

Krystal: Chef? No. Bartender? Yes.
Honestly most of the cooking that is done tends to be by my family... either in our quarters or on the holodeck. And in my case its mostly barbecue.

Janri: Uh, who's your friend? I don't think I've seen a species like that before.
Nova: Why are the gue'la green? No... they're not quite gue'la are they... *She scratches her head, so used to the other aliens having more clear differences in species* Yes, I am thankful for the inquisitor not leaving me behind.
***
Reina: Well... I could cook something if I must, I've got a wider range of expertise than Krys, but she's still great at what she focuses on.
***
Samaia: Well its good to try new things. *She sticks her tongue out* That's how we gain new experiences. Maybe I'll try some more exotic sweets in the future, see if I can find something you like.
***
Clea: It used to be different a long long time ago... *She tilts her head for a moment before shaking it deciding not to give some of the knowledge she has on the future*
Reashe: Well, maybe we can do something to make your stay a bit better?
Cunningham: Some actually cooked food would be nice. We'd been surviving off Replicated rations for most of the war. sometimes actual replicated meals. and very very rarely, only a handful of times since the war ramped up an actual cooked meal... I told you all this earlier. I kept one of my special services officers onboard when they started reassigning officers to more "useful" roles. so my cook became something else on paper, and every now and then would make a good dinner... so a proper meal would be appreciated right now.... *she stops in the middle of the hall and starts to consider* makes me wonder though, how do you not have any special services officers on your ship? Who does catering for diplomatic banquets? do you not invite guests to the Captain's dining room for dinner?... do... you even have a Captain's mess, or is it gathering dust? *a few crewmen stop in the hall to watch the situation. especially with the classic maroon uniform drawing their eyes*
Bri: Uhhh... I guess we're turning around to go back and make food then? *she says, looking to Krystal, then to Reina, then glancing over to Jakara and T'Lera.*
********
Donovan: I'd rather food taste good and have variation. it just being there to keep you going instead of being enjoyed too. a bit bleak.
******
Seku: There was a time before when that sh*t didn't happen, and with whatever is gonna rise up outta it will hopefully be different. as for what can be done... no damn clue. Just take me wherever you're going I guess. I don't got much here now.

Krystal: *shrugs, then notices the crewmembers* As you were guys.
To answer your questions Captain... Some officers can fill multiple roles so dedicated personnel is not as high a priority these days. Catering is a team effort. And Captain's Mess... we don't have a dedicated one as officer's quarters on a Sovereign class are rather nice. I think the last ship class I can think of with one was the Intrepid. If the Sovereign class has one... I guess I never found it.
And to be honest Lexington doesn't get the high profile Diplomatic missions as often as Enterprise does. We're a bit more of the Troubleshooter type. Enterprise gets all the Easy assignments, the Borg, the Son'a, the Romulans... Lexington gets all the weird ones.

I know you don't care about the opinion of a filthy xeno, but I don't understand. *She seems almost incredulous hearing this, she knows that the Gue'la can be very hateful but this feels different. She gets closer to Val without getting too close to better watch her expression for some hint that might help her understand this hatred*
*****
Donovan: never really used to eat too much sweet stuff before the war... but you know when society collapses and leaves you without it, makes you miss it.
*****
Freeman: I'm asking if you want to be, not if I want you to.
Seku: she mutters something quietly
******
Kara: *shrugs figuring she wondered off somewhere and gets up with a stretch and a yawn* I need a nap…
******
Evelynn: what’s a brownie?
Jaessa: *shrugs* some sort of cake like thing maybe I’ve never had them.
*******
Jorin: I’d be glad to watch. *she gives a soft smile*
Kenzie: *her ear flicks towards seku as she gives her a quizzical expression* you wanna repeat that?
******
Val?: of course you wouldn’t understand your kind never do. *her expression is solid as steel as she looks at the tau with more annoyance then anything. It’s hard to get any feel from her. With a sigh she rolls her eyes as if having some internal debate* enough about this. Is your ship salvageable or do you want to go somewhere else… I’m only doing this once then I’m gone….

Nexa: The one my mother is thinking of has a lot of similar qualities but she's a bit... different, I've met her a handful of times she's a doctor.
***
Reina: I can try, but if she doesn't want to be found I'm not sure my senses can detect her, I'm still working on that. *She starts to focus, looking around*
T'Lera: I could try and reach out telepathically, but I don't... *She trails off, quivering nervously as she thinks back to that white abyss she was trapped in for what felt like millenia*
***
Samaia: *As she starts mixing the batter and such together* They're mostly chocolate desserts, sort of made like a cake but different meant to be smaller and thicker. You can taste some of the leftover if you want while its baking. *She starts to fill a pan*
***
*Clea scratches at one of her eyebrow ridges*
***
Nova: I don't know for sure if it can be salvaged. I was initially planning on using its communications array to call for extraction but that seems moot. Do you know another location where people might be that you could take me? Maybe I could try and learn more of this strange place we find ourselves in. *She looks a little surprised by the offer but accepts it without question*
Cunningham: *follows* drinks are drinks and a meal is a meal. I just hope my crew enjoys what they've forgone for so long.
*****
Donovan: Think you can throw in some peanut butter?
*****
Seku: Not particularly, no. *she says having more drink*

*reina can tell that Kara is in brianas quarters*
******
Jaessa: ah more sugar…..
Evelynn: *skips over watching intently, her tail swaying excitedly*
******
Kenzi: *raises her brow* heard you the first time so it’s fine. These ears aren’t for show you know *she points at the feline ears on her head*
Jorin: what’s going on?
Kenzie: eh don’t worry about it.
******
Val?: I’ll just drop you off at earth. You’ll be their problem afterwards…. *she looks even more agitated as she turns around* hold on to me and keep your eyes closed if you value your sight and sanity…
***
Reina: It looks like she went back to your quarters. That's not too far.
T'Lera: Why'd she go there? Well we can go invite her to dinner.
***
Samaia: Shouldn't be too much trouble. *she adds some peanut butter to the mixture* Unfortunately I'm not too good at desserts that don't have sugar in them, but I could try to learn some. *as she puts the brownies in to bake she offers the mixing spoon to Evelynn still covered in some batter*
***
Reashe: Well... I guess as long as the mood is better.
***
Nova: As you say, I never thought I would see this Earth... even if it is another one than where we come from. *she places a hand on Val's shoulder and nods*
**********
Donovan: I have a Ricotta cheesecake recipe you may enjoy that i could share. could also try baked apples, grilled peaches
*******
Seku: So long as you don't make it an issue *she says sipping her drink*
******
kara: *yawns as she scratches her ear* hmm? what do you need, i was about to take a nap.
******
evelynn: *lets out a small mew as she takes the spoon licking the batter and purring happily*
jaessa: i suppose i will have to try it out some time. *she says to donovan then looks over to samaia* it would be a nice alternative so the little one doesn't get hyper from it....
******
kenzie: aren't you just a ball of sunshine.
jorin: i still fail to see what is going on.....
******
val?: *with out a word they go thru a rift. in a second they're spit out on what looks to be a space station* eh close enough i guess. this is earth space dock. *she starts walking off* dont let the door hit you on the way out, good bye.
***
T'Lera: *she waves from behind Bri* You're invited to Dinner with the others.
***
Samaia: *she pats Evelynn's head and ruffles her hair* Oh a little sugar won't hurt her... well, we might need to watch that she doesn't sneak an extra brownie or two.
***
Clea: I'm confused too... *her ears twitch*
Reashe: Maybe we should go do something else? Is there something on this ship for recreation? Other than er... certain things.
***
Nova: *She stands there in her suit of power armor just looking confused* Thank you Gue'la. Though... who do I talk to here? I've never seen anything like this? *the Tau girl looks around in awe of the station. It reminds her of some of her people's technology but grander, so bright compared to the imperium*
**********
Donovan: as long as she doesn't get into some of the boxes of sugar bombs i brought over from the hell i was.
*********
Freeman: what certain recreation things do you mean?...
Seku: Theres a jedi training room with floating platforms and a buncha stuff like that.
saki: i hope we see you again *she grins*
******
kara: *her ears flick as she does an exaggerated feline stretch, getting a meow* oh, ok. so i guess it all worked out then?
******
evelynn: *purrs and mews happily from the affection*
jaessa: yeah i'll be keeping an eye on her. *she looks over at donovan* what are sugar bombs?
******
jorin: well there is the combat circle for all your grudges and disputes. i set up a shooting range for training and recreation and of course we have competitive drinking. oh theres also cu'bikad, and the holodeck on the crusader *she says nodding to seku* i have a plan for that. i hope you dont mind me making a few modifications to it. nothing that will changes its appearance of course.
kenzie: lotta combat oriented stuff ay. *she nods then looks over at freeman doing a very suggestive motion with her hands then winks at him* that sorta thing
******
val?: *stops for a moment as if internally debating something before turning around with a groan* i dont know. got any idea on what you want to do? *she says crossing her arms and shifting her weight to one side, tail gently swaying behind her*
Janri: I wouldn't mind that. *she gives a smile*
***
T'Lera: Sort of. Maybe. But there's food atleast. *she rubs the back of her neck* Someone spoiled basically our entire plan... *She gives a look to Bri*
***
*When the brownies are ready Samaia begins to take them out and serving them, getting some ice cream for those who want to try and a la mode. She's humming some song seeming to be in a good mood*
***
Reashe: *She blushes at Kenzie's crude gesture but she has a faint bashful smile*
Clea: Oh, I suppose we do have the holodeck, I don't think I've used it once since we got here.
***
Nova: Explore? Get some food? There's other stuff but if you're wishing to take part... *She tilts her head, curious why the Inquisitor is interested but she doesn't seem against the concept*
********
Donovan: Cereal. 100 percent daily value of sugar. *he says, trying the brownie with ice cream
********
Seku: Don't got anyone to do that for me now.. *she says before force moving another bottle to her hand and pouring herself another drink*
Freeman: So what are we even all gonna do?

saki: *waves* bye.
******
kara: oh.... ok. i guess its all settled then. *she walks over* hi krystal, sorry i bailed out like that..... *she rubs her neck* anyway where to?
******
jaessa: *pokes at the brownie before trying it* hmm its not what im used to but its good i suppose.
evelynn: *has an overly large portion of ice-cream on her brownie as she goes in on it*
******
kenzie: oh uuh im sorry. *she says to seku then looks down at raeshe gently pulling her onto her lap and hugging her* are they uuh... deceased?
jorin: hmm. *she looks between kenzie and seku* maybe something light hearted like a movie on the holodeck?
******
val?: take part with you? no im just giving you a leg up i guess.... *she grumbles something under her breath* dumping you on ESD wasn't such a good idea.... if you want to come with me... id allow it. i know a few people that can give you a run down on whats going on in this galaxy. *she offers a hand*
Janri: They weren't so bad, but maybe I shouldn't have made it so obvious I was doing magic... I was just trying to get more practice with the finer aspects.
Nexa: Don't worry about it, I don't think any harm was done... but I'd rather that orion woman not know that you're a vampire too... if she found out that in a way Val was your sire... *she sighs* Well, I don't know what we should do now, but we are near DS9, maybe we should go find something to do.
Janri: I could start cooking, maybe something like a stew?
***
T'Lera: The lounge. *She gives a nod, seeming in a better mood with Kara joining them*
***
Samaia: I'm kind of curious what sort of sweets you are used too. *She says with a teasing tone, offering a bit of her own Brownie to Jaessa which is prepared a bit differently*
***
Reashe: *She snuggles up against Kenzie with her back, even though the armor isn't exactly the most comfortable she still enjoys the gesture* I'm sorry to hear that...
***
Nova: That is okay with me... I don't know enough about this strange place to really know where to begin so I'm willing to trust you. *Despite their initial introduction, Nova is willing to trust her and takes her hand* Besides the other Gue'la keep staring at me. *she says with a joking tone*
Cunningham: I hope your lounge has an actual chef and bartender.
********
Donovan:*he keeps eating*
******
Seku: he isn't dead. he thought i was getting back into piracy because I helped you steal my damn ship so he dropped me. I told you all that less then an hour ago. its why we came here to drink.
Freeman: Kobanu has always been Self Righteous... I'm surprised it worked as long as it did.
Seku: Me too.
******
kara: alright, um we got replicators. *shrugs* im also not to bad of a bartender myself. *she puts an arm around bri as they walk*
******
jaessa: tastes the same. *she says with a shrug* ive never been one for sweets anyway, to me food is just something to keep you going. it doesn't matter where it comes from.
******
jorin: ah relationship... im not very good with those
kenzie: you've never even been in one... *she looks over to seku* thats a stupid reason to dump you over. *she says taking a swig from a bottle* s'that really all jedi care about? having the moral high ground?
jorin: essentially yes, and technically jedi aren't allowed to be in relationships in the first place. forming attachments, jealousy leads to hate hate leads to anger and anger is a pathway to the dark side and all that nonsense. its been an issue in the order for a very long time.
kenzie: i read up a bit on the history... so basically they take you as kids, feed you some religious dogmatic cr*p and tell you if you feel anything you'll fall to the dark side what ever that is or burn in h*ll or some sh*t... its a f*cking cult!
Honestly most of the cooking that is done tends to be by my family... either in our quarters or on the holodeck. And in my case its mostly barbecue.

Janri: Uh, who's your friend? I don't think I've seen a species like that before.
Nova: Why are the gue'la green? No... they're not quite gue'la are they... *She scratches her head, so used to the other aliens having more clear differences in species* Yes, I am thankful for the inquisitor not leaving me behind.
***
Reina: Well... I could cook something if I must, I've got a wider range of expertise than Krys, but she's still great at what she focuses on.
***
Samaia: Well its good to try new things. *She sticks her tongue out* That's how we gain new experiences. Maybe I'll try some more exotic sweets in the future, see if I can find something you like.
***
Clea: It used to be different a long long time ago... *She tilts her head for a moment before shaking it deciding not to give some of the knowledge she has on the future*
Reashe: Well, maybe we can do something to make your stay a bit better?
Bri: Uhhh... I guess we're turning around to go back and make food then? *she says, looking to Krystal, then to Reina, then glancing over to Jakara and T'Lera.*
********
Donovan: I'd rather food taste good and have variation. it just being there to keep you going instead of being enjoyed too. a bit bleak.
******
Seku: There was a time before when that sh*t didn't happen, and with whatever is gonna rise up outta it will hopefully be different. as for what can be done... no damn clue. Just take me wherever you're going I guess. I don't got much here now.
To answer your questions Captain... Some officers can fill multiple roles so dedicated personnel is not as high a priority these days. Catering is a team effort. And Captain's Mess... we don't have a dedicated one as officer's quarters on a Sovereign class are rather nice. I think the last ship class I can think of with one was the Intrepid. If the Sovereign class has one... I guess I never found it.
And to be honest Lexington doesn't get the high profile Diplomatic missions as often as Enterprise does. We're a bit more of the Troubleshooter type. Enterprise gets all the Easy assignments, the Borg, the Son'a, the Romulans... Lexington gets all the weird ones.
