[22:27] *** CoroLCARS sets mode: +m [22:27] *** ObsZachery is now known as Zachery [22:27] ::Savant stretched, making a bit of a show of limbering up:: [22:28] Q> ::looks at herself in the mirror, checking herself from all angles, wondering if this swimsuit is right for her - or if it's too soon after the breakup to be wanting to start another romance:: [22:29] Q> ::sighs, realizing she's already probably running late, and after tossing a towel over her shoulder, heads out for the turbolift:: [22:30] Q> ::looks himself over briefly in his red shorts that stand out strikingly against his dark skin, picks up his towel, and heads out of his quarters, whistling that catchy tune he likes:: [22:30] HD> ::Savant had already started the program. She layed back in the sun on a towel and enjoyed the weather, putting on a pai of sunglasses:: [22:31] TL> ::enters the turbolift:: Deck 10 [22:32] *> ::steps out of the turbolift, walking the brief distance to the holodeck:: [22:32] ::Savant paused a moment, looking up - a pair of noisy seagulls disappeared, and she smiled agian and layed back down:: [22:32] TL> ::enters the lift and leans against the wall:: Deck 10. [22:33] HD> ::enters the holodeck, the heat rolling off the sand:: [22:34] ::Savant laced her hands behind her head and layed back with a grin on her face, not looking up:: Hello Maiko [22:34] *> ::steps out and walks toward the holodeck, wondering what it will be like:: [22:35] ::whirls and sees Savant - still a little unwary of the hologram/program (whatever she was now) after their talk in the 4th chamber:: [22:36] ::steps into the holodeck and blinks at the bright sunlight, reaches into his pocket and pulls out some designer shades and puts them on:: [22:36] ::She grinned broadly:: you're a little edgy. Are you okay? [22:37] ::sighs, seeing that what Savant is wearing definitely outclasses her:: Sorry, I'm just... still not comfortable with that whole thing. [22:38] ::Savant was wearing a read bikini - noting terribly risque, but it certainly displayed the fact that she had complete control of her appearance:: With what thing? [22:38] ::glances around and walks over to Savant and Maiko, his towel around his neck loosely and a warm smile of welcome on his face:: Hello ladies. [22:38] Hello, Zach. [22:39] ::eagerly accepts the chance to change the conversation:: Funny seeing you here; I figured you'd be down in the lounge treating more people to that wakeup juice of yours ::grin:: [22:41] ::lays his towel down and sits, turning to look at Maiko:: Well, the invitation was open to everyone so I thought I'd come. Even a bartender needs to keep in shape. [22:42] I know the feeling... ever since... well, it's just been so long since I've done something like this. I can't do my morning jogging anymore, but I figure maybe some beach volleyball would help me get a better sense of what I can and cannot do. [22:42] You're getting back into the swing of things quickly [22:43] ::shrugs:: I don't have much of a choice here on Coronado. [22:43] I can't stay desk-bound forever. [22:43] ::she grinned:: that's the spirit. [22:45] ::doesn't say that this is also just as much to keep her mind off the pain of loosing Clarence:: [22:45] ::nods:: Can't let things keep you down too long. ::his hand strays absently to his pocket and rubs over the small bump there:: [22:46] ::Savant nodded once absently:: we'll just have to wait until the others get here [22:47] ::flips out the towel and lets it settle on the sand, then sits on it:: And I thought *I* was late. [22:47] Yeah. ::lies back and glances at his finger that still wears a ring, wondering if he should take it off, or keep it on? Hard decision to make:: [22:47] ::She chuckled:: Time doesn't have much meaining on Coronado. People get to things when they get to them. [22:49] ::shrugs:: I have lots of time. [22:49] ::sighs, the sun feeling rather good, the apple green one piece swimsuit warming nicely:: [22:51] I've got nothing but time. You wouldn't believe the spare processing time I have lately. [22:52] ::looks between the two of them, one red and one green, then glances at his own red shorts:: At least we don't clash colors. That's a good start. ::grins:: [22:52] ::grunts, leaning back to bask in the sun, thinking about how much time she used to spend with Clarence:: [22:52] ::she smirked:: almost makes us a team I guess [22:53] *** Quits: Aggie (~aggie@208.187.23.164) (Quit: Sleep: the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored.) [22:54] ::sighs:: [22:54] ::she cocked an eyebrow at Maiko and asked::Is being a tema that terrible of an idea? [22:54] Seems like it doesn't it? ::notices the look in Maiko's eyes and looks away, his own eyes having some of the same pain only much deeper:: [22:55] <> [22:55] Just thinking, that's all. [22:55] ::enters into the holodeck and looks around having heard of the program, wearing a set of black trunks that come down to just above his knees and a white towel in his hand:: [22:56] ::glances up and nods at Prescot:: Hi there! Decided to join the party? [22:56] hello, Mr Prescot. Fancy seeing you here [22:57] ::nods at Zachery:: Sure why not.. And I dont see why. Promotions just mean -more- paperwork... and Im sure you know how much I love that Savant [22:58] ::she grinned:: I do as much of it for you as I'm allowed. [22:59] ::eyes closed, shutting herself off from those around her for the moment:: [22:59] ::turns back to Maiko and smiles:: So you really like my juice? [23:00] ::chuckles:: Yes and I am forever greatful for that... But I still sometimes think I need to deticated a Squad to Staff Seargents to do my paperwork [23:00] they do make orderlies for that, you know. [23:02] ::cracks an eye:: If I ever need anything to clear my head instantly, I'll know where to go. [23:03] ::thinks:: Ahhh...the drink, not the juice. You should try my special juice too. I took it to the bridge and they seemed to like it. It might even help you regain your strength a little quicker, and it doesn't taste nasty like some of those energy drinks. [23:04] ::wry grin:: Just how many juices do you have? [23:06] ::nods:: and I need more of them ::steps into the sand:: I think I was spoiled back home... As I could order anyone who was competent to do it for me... here I need to fill out forms to requisition forms... to tell that Staff Seargent to fill out the forms [23:06] ::Savant chuckles:: the beurocracy is staggering, isn't it? [23:07] ::chuckles:: Well, I have a lot actually. 400 years gives you plenty of time to discover new recipies and combinations. [23:07] I suppose so... all that time to experiment.... [23:09] ::nods slowly and then speaks softly, as if saying his thoughts out loud:: I'd trade them all if I could have just 60 years of them again though... [23:09] Starfleet moves at two speeds.... Slow, and Reverse. ::moves out and sits down on the sand and stretches out:: [23:09] Ih, I think that it moves quickly when it must. It just post- dates the forms ^_^ [23:10] more than likely.. ::looks around:: I heard of some kind of game going on here? [23:10] ::sighs in agreement:: Or even just a handful of months. [23:10] That's the plan [23:11] ::Savant stands up and stretches:: [23:11] ::glares at Savant's form in jelousy:: [23:11] ::looks slightly startled and then turns away to look at that water:: Sorry, didn't realize I'd said that out loud. Don't mean to burden anyone with my troubles. ::smiles somewhat sadly:: [23:12] ::shrugs:: Everyone has to talk to someone sometime. ::sits up, hugging her knees to her chest:: [23:13] I guess so. It's just harder when you're used to sharing with one person for so long...and then they're gone. Takes time to trust someone like that again. [23:14] don't worry, you will. [23:14] ::nods::: Especially... if you do something to warrant them leaving... and yet you need them more than ever. [23:16] ::sighs deeply:: (wq) The only thing I did was watch her die...knowing there was nothing I could do to stop it... [23:16] ::Murmurs quietly to Prescot:: tough crowd.... [23:17] ::nods:: Indeed... Cannot say that I have had much of the same experiances, but dwelling on them does not seem to be the best thing [23:18] ::shrugs, half-listening, half lost in thought:: Knowing there was nothing I could do to make him come back... [23:20] ::stands and stretches:: Where there's life, there's hope. ::glances around:: Are we ready to play some volleyball? [23:21] Guess so. ::gets up, dusting a little sand off of herself:: [23:21] I just want to be sure of the ground rules. Normal physics, right? [23:21] ::nods:: Set yourself to my physical attributes, and you and I can be on opposite teams that way and neither one have an advantage [23:22] ::walks into the ring:: Gee, and here I was hoping for zero-g rules, having sand get everywhere. [23:22] I do have physical attributes of my own... I just prefer to not use them [23:22] well too much of an advantage... you can learn this game in a nano second, I cant [23:22] ::nods:: lightening fast as I recall from boot camp ::smirks:: [23:22] ::She grinned:: i enjoyed basic training. I found it very relaxing [23:23] Ahh me too!! But no one else did... [23:23] The Fleeties were soft then [23:23] Ironside seemed to be enjoying himself [23:23] well I figured that the General enjoyed giving orders to everyone. [23:24] ::grunts:: Are you going to just besmirch the Fleet more or are we going to play? ::annoying glare:: [23:24] ::She smirked:: Who's on whose team? [23:24] ::looks over at Maiko:: Well I could go on for days on end, but lets play. [23:24] Hmmm...well, since Savant and I are both wearing red maybe we should play together? [23:25] Besides, if you want to get technical I sure as hell have a handicap here with this bypass. [23:27] ...not that I'll let that stop me. ::lupine grin:: [23:27] sounds fair to me. [23:29] ::nods and moves over to Savant's side:: Alright, who serves first then? [23:29] ::retreats to one side of the court, her footing still a bit tricky in the loose sand as she gets used to it and adjusts how she walks to compensate:: [23:31] ::Savant shrugs and gestures as if digging into a pocket, and procures a coin - though she's got no pockets:: [23:31] ::moves over into the same side as Maiko does and begins to stretch a bit:: [23:32] <> [23:32] ::flexes her arms at her side, knowing full well she's going to have to depend on a good stretching reach than diving or running:: [23:34] ::bends over and stretches his muscles, preparing himself to play:: Savant can toss the coin and Jake can call it? [23:34] ::nods:: Alright [23:34] ::Savant flips the coin up into the air, leaving it spinning up there while Prescot decides:: [23:34] Heads. [23:35] ::Savant lets the coin drop:: [23:35] ((Hold on while i load up Lemon ^_-)) [23:36] ((evens=heads, odds = tails?)) [23:36] <> [23:37] ::The coin lands Tails-up:: [23:37] Will you serve or recieve? [23:38] ::looks at Zach:: [23:38] ::looks at Savant:: What do you think? [23:38] ::she shrugged:: I'm comfortable with either. [23:39] Alright, we'll serve then. Doesn't really matter who starts. [23:39] ::nods and moves into themiddle of the court:: Alright.. [23:39] ::Savant nods and tosses the coin aside, which dissolves into the air, the plucks a volleyball out of the air:: Would you like to serve, or shall I? [23:41] <> [23:41] ::moves closer to the net, realizing she hasn't tried to jump since the spinal bypass was put in.... the trepidation mounting:: [23:41] ((owie)) [23:42] ::Savant tossed the ball up into the air and punched it, sending it on a fairly easy trajectory over the net, then moved to the center of the court as it sailed:: [23:43] ::watches it head back towards Prescot; she shuffles to the side to get in position:: [23:43] ::moves back and belts the ball back over the net, applying way too much power and overshooting the back:: [23:44] ::blinks:: [23:44] ::pauses and looks back at where the ball landed:: [23:45] we'll call that one a mulligan ^_^ [23:45] ::She raised her hand, and the ball leapt towards it:: [23:45] < >> [23:46] ((welocme back!)) [23:46] <> [23:47] ::looks at Prescot:: You ever play this before? [23:47] ::picks up the ball and tosses it to Savant:: Try again? [23:47] never [23:47] ::scratches his head:: It shows does it not? [23:47] ::she grinned:: delighted. Whenever you're ready? [23:48] ::stifles a groan:: [23:49] I'm playing beach volleyball against a hologram and a man who's been alive for centuries... my partner's never played before and I'm handicapped by this damned implant. ::shakes head sadly:: I really AM desperate, aren't I? ::flexes at the knees, ready:: [23:49] ::sniffs:: If youd prefer I could go for a swim ::moves into position again:: [23:50] ::She smirked:: Do you want to trade sides, Maiko? [23:50] ::shrugs:: Since when am I ever on the right side? Just serve. [23:51] ::readies himself and nods at Savant:: Serve. It's all just for fun isn't it? [23:51] ::Savant grinned and glanced at Zachary, shrugging emphatically, and then serving in the same rather tame ballistic path:: [23:51] ::this time tries to jump to spike the ball and instead winds up throwing herself backwards in the sand, her legs not having jumped in sync with the rest of her movements:: [23:52] ::curses, brushing her hair out of her eyes and after a false start, getting back to her feet:: [23:52] ::cant reach the ball in time and frowns as it falls to the sand:: The Fates seem gainst us [23:53] ::directs a rather vehement curse - one that's definitely Reorsan in nature - against the Fleas:: [23:53] ::Savant grins despite herself:: [23:53] ::watches her fall and frowns slightly, hoping this isn't too strenous for her:: One point for us. We serve again I believe. [23:53] Let's see you grin when I rip out every holoprojector onboard. ::glare:: Serve. [23:54] you can serve, Zach, I don't want to hog it. [23:56] Alright. ::takes the ball and moves behind the line, poises and then serves overhand:: [23:56] <> [23:57] ((I'll have to soon as well.. i work tomorrow o_O)) [23:57] <> [23:58] ((Iff you like, we can continue later ^_^)) [23:58] <> [23:58] < [23:59] <
