Ronin Shoreleave Archive: Difference between revisions

The next morning, while [[Quay, Kassa|Quay]] and [[Rogers, William|Rogers]] were swapping spit, [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] made [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] a nice breakfast and placed it next to him under the desk with a note. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] missed breakfast with [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]] and [[Parker, Addison|Parker]], but [[Thelev, Jhen|Jhen]] missed it too and [[Parker, Addison|Parker]] didn't bother going because who wants to have breakfast with an insane, insensitive, I-want-to-be-Captain type when you can stay in bed? Instead, he called {{Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]], who was having breakfast with [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]], and scheduled an emergency counseling session. Before the session, [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] pumped [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] for details about her impromptu date with [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]], discovering what she'd feared: [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] didn't know about the wee one, [[Brice, Matthew|Matthew Hollenbricedaleson]]. [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] then got his head shrunk by [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] while [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]] scheduled dinner with [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] and [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]], planning to stand them both up so they'd fall in love and make everyone feel sappy. [[Reed, Sarah|Reed]]'s evil plan worked, but not before [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] realized he missed his mum and didn't want all his friends to die and, after that epiphany, ran off to the holosuites to play Captain [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] of the ''USS Enterprise'' (NCC-1701) and wrestle Kirk-style with an Atollian Fangor Beast. [[Quay, Kassa|Quay]] and [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] also had breakfast, where they each nearly found out that the other had met a special someone the night before. Then [[Idril Mar|Mar]] threw a small briefing party for [[Thelev, Jhen|Thelev]], [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]], and Wayfel (the token Andorian NPC who makes sure Thelev doesn't think he's the token) and told them that it was a bring-your-own-supplies-to-last-us-ten-years party, so they had to leave and get the supplies. Brice called Kolk and asked his input on how best to do it, and Kolk said, "Let's get the important stuff," to which Brice said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

After the shore-leave duty-shift (that's where everyone volunteers to have fun working instead of relaxing on their week off because we're in Starfleet and go insane if we're not at work) was over, Brice and Ehlanii got to know each other in the Double Shot and then in a forest created by Brice in the holosuites while ostensibly waiting for Reed to show up. Quay and Rogers had a romp that landed them between the sheets, and Kolk and Parker batted it out because Brice (during the shore-leave duty-shift, that is) advised him to let Addy decide whether she wanted the hassle of loving despite the fickleness of Starfleet. She didn't, and much crying and pouting ensued. Speaking of Starfleet's fickleness, Adair found out that Starfleet didn't want her and Walker to have a honeymoon and much crying and pouting ensued there too. On the bridge, Synak accused the Security Department of having too much fraternization and not enough discipline, so Maria told her to try jogging around the ship with Quay and Rogers. (Internally, we all know that Synak was crying and pouting as well, but she's a Vulcan so she'll never admit it.) Meanwhile in the Security Offices, Rogers and Quay worked out how much they still love each other even though Rogers didn't stop the other officers from gossiping about the two of them.
