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. 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 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, ACEy-yO of the Indy (boxing gloves on). [[Brice, Ethan|Brice]] broke free of Banks, [[Ehlanii, Karynn|Ehlanii]] gracefully excused herself from Sharpe, and the two danced happily ever after (boxing gloves off). Meanwhile LtCmdr. [[Idril Mar|Mar]]ia joined the congratulations crowd, getting lost in it for a while and growing an empathic headache (much like a Chia-Pet) until 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 (Haliians are touch-telepathic, you know). The 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(-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). 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 had a brief chat with Thelev until [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] came running by warning of the ensuing Scottish invasion and whisking the Andorian away. Wilde and [[Idril Mar|Mar]] laughed at the young men and went about their merry way. Adair(-Walker?) cornered the the other two and [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] had them all (Lts. Adair, [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]], & Thelev) beamed to the Double Shot (that's on the Ronin) where he stole the Scot some Scotch and the three became fast friends (he may have also bribed her with the rpomise of a few more cases from Earth). The three Lts. returned to the Ursa where LtCmdr. [[Idril Mar|Mar]]ia was being hit on by Lt. Cruise of the Indy while she tried to go home. Jhen saved the day, which left [[Kolk, Jackford|Kolk]] to dance with Adair, but she was soon beamed to a private holosuite on the 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, Baby Hollen[[Brice, Ethan|Brice]]daleson.
