Ronin Shoreleave Archive: Difference between revisions

It all began with an old love song sung by Dr. [[Calhan, Jophry|Calhan]] from the ''[[USS Ursa Major]]'', during which Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] danced with J.G. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] (boxing gloves off), at least until they decided to mingle with [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s friends. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] introduced her to LtCmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] and his newish bride (married a while but torn apart before their honeymoon by the heartless monster that is Starfleet's bureaucracy), Lt. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair-Walker]] (formerly, and still occasionally, known as Adair). The girls laughed, the boys chatted, and LtCmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] tried to decide whether [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] should die for dating his best friend (he's very possessive). Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] thanked LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] for playing ghost-sister to him by nearly crying all over her table and asking her to dance. The Lt. then switched to anger-mode upon seeing Ens. [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] and promptly ordered her to dance with him... angrily. They battled briefly, words flying, and then... fell in love. [[SIM: Lt. Jackford Kolk - Out of the Frying Pan and Into Sarah's Arms|Or did they?]] (Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion!). After being left baffled on the dance floor, Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] went to the bar, where Lt. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] asked him to dance. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s hopes of dancing with his ACEy-yO were thwarted when Lt. [[Banks, Susan|Banks]] from the ''[[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]]'' answered his call to the dance floor instead of [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]]. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] then took a moment to commiserate about his lonely state with an ''[[USS Independence-A|Independence]]'' officer, Lt. [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]], until Lt. [[Ventu, Lily|Ventu]] came over looking for a dance partner. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] foisted the recently betrothed [[Ventu, Lily|Ventu]] onto the unsuspecting [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]] while J.G. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]], technically [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]'s date, danced with another Engineer, J.G. [[Sharpe, Paul|Sharpe]], ACEy-yO of the Indy (boxing gloves on). [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] broke free of [[Banks, Susan|Banks]], [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] gracefully excused herself from [[Sharpe, Paul|Sharpe]], and the two danced happily ever after (boxing gloves off). Meanwhile LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] joined the congratulations crowd, getting lost in it for a while and growing an empathic headache (much like a Chia-Pet) until [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] "saved her" by tossing her, unarmed, at the ravenous Ambassador Joanna Wilde. [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] and [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] went back to dancing, but were interrupted by a strange telepathic human of mysterious background and then by the Ambassador. [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] (boxing gloves on) shook the Mystery Man's, Captain Gersh Nathan's, hand and was nonetheless exposed to his disturbing psyche ([[Haliian]]s are touch-telepathic, you know). The ''[[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]]'' crew saved the cute couple from the Ambassador, and Mystery Man moved on, leaving them to dance again (boxing gloves off). While all this was going on, [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair(-Walker)]] poured synthehol into a plant to replace it with real Scotch, used that to get a [[Vulcan]] (Lt. [[Salak]]) drunk, and picked a fight with an [[Andorian]] (Lt. [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]]). [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] took the honorable path and ducked out of the fight... by stealing her flask and running. He tossed the flask away to distract her, but Lt. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] didn't think that was a good enough diversion, so he snatched it, called to the Scot, and emptied it into the same plant as the synthehol (lucky plant). Outside in the hallway, Capt. [[Idril Mar|Mar]] and LtCmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] had a brief chat with [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] until [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] came running by warning of the ensuing Scottish invasion and whisking the [[Andorian]] away. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] and [[Idril Mar|Mar]] laughed at the young men and went about their merry way. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair(-Walker?)]] cornered the the other two and [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] had them all (Lts. [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair]], [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]], & [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]]) beamed to the [[Double Shot]] (that's on the ''[[USS Ronin| Ronin]]'') where he stole the Scot some Scotch and the three became fast friends (he may have also bribed her with the promise of a few more cases from Earth). The three Lts. returned to the ''[[USS Ursa Major|Ursa]]'' where LtCmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] was being hit on by Lt. [[Cruise, Allen|Cruise]] of the ''[[IS Independence-A|Indy]]'' while she tried to go home. [[Thelev, Jhen|Jhen]] saved the day, which left [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] to dance with [[Adair, Ronan Tully|Adair]], but she was soon beamed to a private holosuite on the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' to enjoy her, ahem, "Walkerdom". While [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] played Kirk, wooing ladies left and right till night was day, [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] and [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] finished the evening in his quarters getting splashed with water by his spawn, [[Brice, Matthew|Baby Hollenbricedaleson]].
