[21:27] maybe back on Reor? [21:29] ::shrugs:: [21:29] Reor is all right with me [21:30] reor [21:34] reor then. it's a pleasant day in the open agora /market in Churchill Downs... [21:34] A good day for stalking :) [21:34] it's before Coro was brought into the Alliance, and after the Defenders were formally disbanded. [21:35] right? right. [21:35] *sim start* [21:35] * CoroLCARS changes topic to '=/\= U.S.S. Coronado, NCC-97901... http://www.jestertrek.com/coro2400/ =/\= Sim in progress! =-= Coronado sims at 9:00pm ET Mondays, with an after-sim most weeks immediately following!' [21:35] * CoroLCARS sets mode: +m [21:35] ::Savant was in the market, wearing civillian clothing. it was pleasant out, and she was apparently going about and doing some shopping...:: [21:35] * Santiago is now known as Gibson [21:35] ::out shopping the markets, looking for her wedding dress:: [21:36] * Joins: Brad (garstini@ip68-3-126-250.ph.ph.cox.net) [21:36] * CoroLCARS sets mode: +o Brad [21:36] ::strolls the market looking for some sort of knicknack to remember his visit here:: [21:36] * Brad is now known as Sieven [21:37] What is that thing, anyway? Looks like a cross between an eggplant and an asparagus. [21:37] I don't know. It's tasty, apparently. Once it's prepared. Not digestible by humans without an enzyme. [21:38] ::rides a floater into the commercial district, noting how busy it is since the Alliance recalled everyone:: [21:38] ::steps out of a dressing room and walks over to a mirror, admiring the dress and its flattering lines:: [21:39] see, i'm too much of a snacker for something like that. [21:40] ::She shrugged:: Good in a salad, apparently. What are we shopping for, anyways? [21:41] ::heads back into the changing room and reappears in her street clothes:: I'll take it. ::Maiko grin:: [21:41] i don't know. i'm just staying near you. [21:41] ::she grinned:: well, what am I shopping for then? I haven't a clue really. [21:42] What do you need? [21:42] <> [21:43] I don't really need anything. I can't think of anything, at least... [21:43] Or, rather, what do you want? [21:43] ::nods to the driver and steps off of the floater:: [21:43] ::comes out of the store with her wedding dress in a garment bag:: [21:43] Maybe some objets d'art for your office? [21:44] I don't like much clutter, but if we can find something small and tasteful, maybe. [21:44] I'm sure small and tasteful is possible here. [21:44] all right ^_^ [21:45] ::walks down the street, looking for one of the kiosksto catch his eye:: [21:45] I think there's a few stands down here that have some good stuff. [21:46] ::walks down the street, high as a kite on jubilation:: [21:46] ::picks up a handcrafted animal made of wood:: [21:47] ::stops at a streetside eatery and browses the menu:: [21:47] ::picks up a carved mask:: What about this mask? Looks interesting and it's pretty small, aside from that nose. [21:47] let's go see. I haven't been shopping in a long time. [21:49] <> [21:49] ::turns the corner and sees Savant... and Clarence. [21:50] ::Savant cocks an eyebrow at the mask and grins a bit:: er.. dear.. i don't know if that'l match what's in my office... [21:50] well, no, but it's pretty. i like the grain in the stone. who's it supposed to be, pinocchio? [21:50] ::quickly darts back around the corner and opts to avoid a confrontation with Clarence, her good mood evaporating slightly as she finds another way to get where she's going on foot. [21:51] i'm sure something like this has a real story behind it [21:51] ::she glances at the store owner askance,:: do you know the story behind this mask? [21:51] ::watches his meal prepared right in front of him:: [21:53] ::glances between Savant and the store owner, noticing once again the line of her profile:: [21:54] no? Oh, that's too bad. [21:54] ::finds an eatery and ducks inside, figuring she'll have lunch and avoid any further confrontations with Clarence:: [21:56] I'll keep it in mind. I'd like to keep looking though. [21:56] ::watches the store owner's reply, noting the way she said 'no'; it didn't mean she didn't know, it meant she didn't want to say:: [21:56] Hunh. [21:57] ::takes the bowl from the vendor, its contents steaming, and is handed a drink--he nods and pays, then steps away from the table and glances around the bustling marketplace:: [21:57] ::steps aside and quips conversationally:: I wonder what she was hiding? [21:58] I don't know. The mask's probably some kind of curse. Sell it to a tourist and they'll go bald or something. [21:59] ::looks up at her hairline, as if she was checking to see if she was going bald yet:: [21:59] ::looks at Savant's forehead as well:: Nothing yet. [21:59] ::carefully drapes the dress over the chair next to her, then orders a salad to start:: [22:00] :exhales in relief:: [22:00] ::pickes up a second knicknack and says to self:: whats the purpose of this again [22:00] I'd look pretty goofy if I was bald [22:00] ::forks a bit of his meal and takes a bite, observing the passers-by:: [22:01] You'd still be cute. [22:01] Just in a Deltan way. [22:01] I didn't know that you thought bald was cute. ::she grins:: [22:02] I didn't say bald was cute, I said you'd be cute in spite of your hairlessness. [22:02] I guess that's the same. you're too sweet. :she grinned and kissed his cheek:: [22:03] ::smiles at the kiss:: I can't help it. [22:04] ::she puts her hands in her pockets and strolls down the busy street:: do you suppose that you'd like to get married someday, Clarence? [22:04] ::shrugs:: Only if you say yes. [22:05] Why do you ask? [22:06] ::she grinned:: Just curious. [22:09] I'm sure you know that I noticed how you distanced yourself physically before asking that question. Is there something about which I should be concerned? [22:10] ::turns and begins slowly walking down the street, taking bites of his food occasionally:: [22:11] ::she blinks once:: Oh, no Clarence... I was just wanting to get walking again. And I was curious what you thought about it. [22:12] ::nods silently:: [22:13] ::she hooks her arm around Clarence's waist and pulls him along:: c'mon. Let's see what else there is. [22:14] ::moves on to the main meal, all the while working on a PADD she's been carrying around with her, chock full of the wedding plans:: [22:14] * Quits: Savant (~mouse@d142-59-211-117.abhsia.telus.net) (Quit: ) [22:15] Hey, let's ask this guy about that mask. [22:15] ::walks up to the kiosk and nods hello at the keeper:: [22:17] I, uh, saw a carved mask with a very large nose. Would you happen to know what that represents? [22:18] ::Moves towards an antique store, looking at some of the items closest to the street on display, still eating:: [22:18] ::wonders and glances at Savant as the shopkeeper looks both ways before leaning close:: [22:18] ::leans close as well:: [22:19] ::listens to the shopkeeper's description, watching the repeated gestures:: Oh. [22:20] ::looks at Savant when the thing is through:: Yeah, that can definitely stay out of your office. [22:20] ::thanks the shopkeeper as they start to walk again:: [22:21] ::is reminded of that old bookstore he visited when he first arrived here a couple of years ago, and turns to get his bearings:: [22:21] ::moves onto desert as she pages over the floral arrangemens:: [22:23] ::laughs suddenly at the unexpected remark:: [22:23] <> [22:24] <> [22:24] * Quits: Maiko (CptFarrell@69-163-34-222.lndnnh.adelphia.net) (Quit: Believe it or not, this movie's still on, it should have ended two hours a-go-o- o...

What is it? [22:41] Hm? ::looks at the bowl and suddenly looks as though he can't remember:: [22:42] Oh. It's a Trill dish, actually. ::shakes his head:: I spotted it on the menu and couldn't help myself. [22:44] You like Trill food? I could never get the hang of it, myself. [22:49] I... used to like it? It's not so bad. ::sniffs it:: [22:50] I think this has been merged with the local cuisine, though. [22:50] ah, Trill Fusion. [22:53] ::takes another bite, then swallows:: Yes, a bit different than I remember. [22:53] Have you been assigned anywhere? [22:53] Not as yet. [22:54] or, were you talking to Savant? [22:55] <> [22:56] No, you. You're a computer technician, right? ::takes another bite:: [22:59] I was. I transferred to logistics about six months ago.

[23:23] Really? [23:25] If you manage to evade the rush by all of the other fleet COs. Xanadu staffing is low priority at the moment. I don't expect to have a full staff for a month. [23:26] well, i'll have to see if Savant has a position for me first, but that would be interesting work. [23:28] Savant has a staff? ::looks at her:: [23:28] ::She grins:: oh, it's pretty informal. [23:30] ::whistles nonchalantly:: [23:31] ::takes another bite of the food and looks between the two:: [23:32] ::She grinned and said nothing:: [23:32] so ... this is very quiet. [23:33] you should come work at Xanadu, Clarence. It'd be nice to have you around in a place where I don't disappear from on a frequent basis.
