Good evening to those who showed up! We're NOT doing any "official" sim tonight, being between two major Holidays ....

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:09 PM

Transitioning to Hines. I will be indisposed, afterall.

::AA::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:09 PM

Tonight is just "hanging out with friends". We can do it In Character but Off Duty.

It doesn't seem like it would be any particular "official party" since it's between the holidays ...

Commander?

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:12 PM

I prepared a holiday meal if any want to partake

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:12 PM

We'll be in the "rear lounge" in Ten Aft (it's a more "pub" like gathering than Seven Forward).

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:12 PM

I was thinking spirits would be a likely setting, MacArdry.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:13 PM

Very well, and the dinner is a more intimate style than the huge one for Thanksgiving

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:14 PM

Right, so, shall we begin?

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:14 PM

I see no reason not to...

::Sitting in the centerfold booth, looking out at the passing starscape behind them.::

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:16 PM

::At the bar with a cocktail glass full of ice on each of his hands.:: Aaaaahhh...

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:16 PM

::Makes his way into the Aft Pub with a gentle smirk on his face.::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:16 PM

::lounging beside Patterson, a Rum & Cola, half-finished, in one hand, a cigar in the other::

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:17 PM

::enters the Aft Pub, hair hanging loose for a change, approaches the bartender:: Vulcan Brandy, please.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:17 PM

Bevin and Shadow> ;;they teamed up to get a small holiday spread ready for the ones that wanted to celebrate the turning of the year. The meal included: a full prime rib with loaded baked potatoes, candied fingerling carrots, broccoli with hollandaise sauce, cinnamon wine cooked pears, onion popovers, herbed and honey butters, huge cheese tray and bowls of fresh fruit, Haggis, colcannon,scones of all varieties, a roast goose with chestnut-mushroom stuffing and cranberry sauce, a spiral sliced honey glazed ham with sweet potato casserole and a whole table full of sweets, cakes pies and puddings some as big as a small tire and blazing with rum sauce

Shadow>:: Of course, he had all sorts of recipes from Vulcan prepared for his Shayana in addition to the rest of the fare::

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:19 PM

::notices the spread, helps himself to some of the pears and takes his drink towards an open table::

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:20 PM

::Steps over and relieves the bartender.:: I'll take it from here. Take yourself a break.

Bartender> You're certain of this, Master Gunny?

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:20 PM

Shadow>Greetings, Shayana, I hope the time is peaceful for your meditations

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:20 PM

::Chuckles, taking a rag out to begin cleaning a glass.:: Nah, I've got a couple years back home on Bourbon. Piece of cake.

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:20 PM

::takes a drag from the cigar, savors it a moment, and exhales a cloud of thick, blue smoke, then sips from his drink:: Ahhh ... I needed this.

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:21 PM

Bartender> ::Nods and takes a step back.:: Your funeral, boss...

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:21 PM

::Takes a swig of... whatever that tin cup is holding, and chuckles.:: If you can't beat 'em, Captain... might as well partake, eh?

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:21 PM

::nods at Shadow as he slips in opposite him:: Shayana ...

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:22 PM

Bevin >;;grins and brings over an EXTREMELY sloshy piece of Rum Cake to the Gunny;; Haippy Haulidays, Gunny (Happy Holidays Gunny)

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:22 PM

I've nothing against a sweet rum and aromatic cigar .... from time to time. ::grins at the Colonel::

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:23 PM

Bevin>:: grinned and brought another piece of the cake to the Captain;;

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:23 PM

::Nine of Twelve had been wandering around the ship noticing a lot of the officers heading into the back lounge and moved to peak in the door to see what was going on.::

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:24 PM

Well go on in. ::standing behind her::

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:24 PM

::Chuckled once more, shaking his head.:: I was beginning to think I'd won the war against smoking.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:24 PM

::takes a sip of brandy, allowing himself just a moment of emotional indulgence::

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:24 PM

::Nine managed not to jump surprised and turned to scowl at Den:: I was planning too. ::She told him putting her nose in the air as she started inside::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:25 PM

Time and place, Colonel. ::takes another puff followed by another sip, then eyes the rum cake:: That smells ... delicious!

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:25 PM

::Glanced towards the door.:: Ah. I've got something for the both of ya. C'mere a moment, would you? ::Towards the arriving siblings.::

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:25 PM

Shadow> ;;waved to Nine;; Come on in and enjoy yourself Nine

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:25 PM

::Lifts his head.:: Derek, can I get more ice, please?

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:25 PM

Hey there Den

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:26 PM

::Nine gave a nod to Shadow, but was curious as to what the MgySgt wanted since he was waving them over::

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:26 PM

::Chuckled, then shoveled some ice into two small bags.:: Want me to tape them in place, Jason?

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:26 PM

::Stared a moment, smirked, then shook his head.:: Not like I plan on using them to raise a glass...

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:26 PM

::takes a bite of the wined pears, looks up as the siblings arrive, chewing, looking a bit awkward::

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:27 PM

Hey. ::giving a nod then moving over to Hines::

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:27 PM

::Snickered, walking away from Carter to the edge of the bar.:: Looking mighty refined, Nine. Should expect nothing less. Den, though... you look like someone dragged you through the Lower Ninth Ward...

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:28 PM

::Nine looked to Den not having been introduced to everyone yet. Then she looked down at the blue dress and silver leggings she wore wondering if it was as the MgySgt claimed as refine.:: Thank you, ::She said unsure.::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:29 PM

::sets the cigar down and takes his fork to the rum cake:: Oh, wow, this is good! ::salutes Bevin with the fork::

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:29 PM

::Reached over and picked up the Captain's cigar, using the ember to light his own.:: Thanks for that. Ran out of matches.

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:30 PM

Hines, my sister Nine. ::giving a glance since she could introduce herself as well. Would have to if he wasn't here::

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:31 PM

::Nine looked at Den surprised that he'd used the designation she had insisted on instead of trying to get her to acknowledge the name Kat again.:: Nice to meet you.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:31 PM

::savors a couple more bites of pears, then sips his brandy:: This is quite the pleasant diversion.

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:32 PM

::Takes her hand and lifts it to give a gentle kiss upon the knuckles.:: Pleasure to finally meet you in person. Pats tends to keep me busy with equipment most of the time. Here, let me get you a drink.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:33 PM

Bevin>I thaut ye mait lak ait thair's faur bawttils o rum ain ait( I thought you might like it there's four bottles of rum in it)

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:33 PM

::Groans.:: If I never had to hold a ship perfectly level in a thick layer of caramel again in my life I'd be perfectly fine...

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:33 PM

::scarfs several mouthfuls of the rum cake, then notices Hines smoozing Nine, gives a "chin point" for Patterson:: Check Hines with Nine.

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:34 PM

::Nine unused to such treatment pulled her hand back after the kiss to it,:: I am not use to drinking more than water. ::Nine said softly.::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:35 PM

How's he say it? "Smooth as cafe au lait."

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:35 PM

::Using the reflection of the metallic coaster beneath the Captain's glass, and shook his head.:: For an old bulldog that barely gets out of his kennel... he's virtually harmless in this atmosphere... just don't get him growling.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:35 PM

Bevin>;;grinned as she handed Carter a bowl of flan with a thick layer of caramel on top and a sugar figure of the Penumbra resting on top of it;;

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:37 PM

::Looked up, grumbled beneath his breath, and pushed it away with his forehead, since both hands were covered with ice packs.:: Kiss my rear end, Bev. ::Chuckled.::

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:37 PM

::finishes the pears and the last swig from his snifter:: Hmm ... shall I go for more? ::shrugs:: Why not? ::stands and returns to the bar::

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:37 PM

Shadow>;;chuckled watching the others in the lounge, before getting a small piece of cheesecake for himself;;

Bevin >:: Grinned mischievously;; Drawp aim, baind aim aind spraid aim Cairtir ( Drop em, bend em and spread em Carter)

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:39 PM

::grunts, chuckling, and notices his glass was empty, lifts it and calls:: Gunny! Spiced rum and cola ... when you get a second. ::winks::

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:39 PM

::Gave a shrug.:: Ah, live a little, love a lot. Old phrase from home. ::Pulled out the old, dusty bottle of Jameson and a small pint of Rumchada, pouring both into a pair of glasses, then retrieving an old-fashioned root beer to top them both off, and a hint of nutmeg as a garnish.:: Two Irish Floats. Courtesy of the bar.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:39 PM

((Bevin, Tabby would be upset!))

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:40 PM

(You DON'T know what she has in mind)

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:40 PM

::Shook his head again.:: If I had the ability to even stand, Bevin... I'd be in my bed already!

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:40 PM

((Nope, don't want to go there!

))

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:41 PM

Bevin> D'ye naid me an Shaddaw tae gait ye thair? ( do you need me and Shadow to get you there?)

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:41 PM

::Slid his tin cup over to the Captain.:: This'll put hair on anyone's chest...

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:42 PM

::lifts the tin, gives it a sniff:: What the hell is this? Pure paint thinner?

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:42 PM

Hmmm. ::giving a look at the drink,picking it up::

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:43 PM

::Nine looked at the drink arching one brow usually Den stopped her from having Synthahol, let alone Alcohol and was surprised that he'd let her touch this drink. She reached for it as Den picked his up and sniffed it curiously.::

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:43 PM

::Looked up and stared at the two of them.:: You two? Not a chance. Ain't had a drop of spirits yet to cloud my sense of knowing better. ::Stuck his tongue out at Bevin with a laugh.::

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:43 PM

::steps up beside Carter at the bar:: Mr. Hines, Vulcan brandy please. ::turns to Carter:: You did a wonderful job flying in the dense space. Thank you.

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:43 PM

::Gave a shrug.:: Field coffee, basically, yeah.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:44 PM

Shadow>:: went over to get a tankard of mulled cider to drink;;

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:44 PM

::Nodding gently.:: Dirty, clean, crisp, shaken or stirred, sir?

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:44 PM

Bevin>;; grinned at his stuck out tongue before borrowing Hines can of whipped cream and sprayed it all over Carter's mouth;;

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:45 PM

::Nodding gently.:: And we ain't done yet either, Relok... had to take a moment and just rig up an algorithm to hold her stea--blaghhh! (edited)

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:45 PM

Shadow>swirled, please

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:46 PM

::Nine hesitated in drinking it but she did take it with her so no one would offer her another drink really and looked around feeling uncomfortable around large groups like this.::

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:46 PM

::Took out the bottle of cider, turning it over and hovering it above a chilled mug before popping the cork and giving the bottle a swirl, emptying the contents into the mug.:: Here you are, Doc.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:46 PM

::splutters as whipped cream splatters on him as well, a full laugh escapes, for nearly a full second:: Ha! Ahem, uh ...

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:46 PM

Shadow> Thank you Gunny

Bevin>;; grinning like the Cheshire Cat at Carter's face and reaction;;

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:48 PM

::Was tempted to get angry, but then realized the irony of the situation.:: ... Now I have an excuse to delay my return to the Helm. A long shower and laundry requirements...

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:48 PM

Bevin> Haippy Haulidays, Cairtir (Happy Holidays, Carter)

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:49 PM

::Looked to Nine and gave a nod.:: Enjoy, Nine. I have a feeling you'll like it.

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:49 PM

::Nine looked back to Mr. Hines and took a hesitant sip of the drink.::

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:49 PM

::Looked around the room and shook his head gently.::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:50 PM

Hmph ... I guess rank has no privelege in here. ::takes his empty glass, stands to return to the bar but suddenly swayed and grabbed the table:: Whoa! Hmm, maybe I don't need another!

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:50 PM

Shadow>;;sat the tankard of cider down tograb the Captain in case he needed a helping hand to get wherever;;

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:51 PM

::blushes a faint green at his outburst:: Just one more snifter of Vulcan brandy and I will sleep well tonight.

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:51 PM

Take a sip and wait to see how it hits you.

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:51 PM

::Nine smirked she was doing just that.::

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:52 PM

::Stands from his seat and takes the Captain's empty glass.:: Rank has no privileges off-duty, Zak. You were cut off half an hour ago.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:52 PM

Bevin>;; got a small glass of Baileys over Ice cream;;

Shadow> ;;gets another mulled cider for the Captain, at least it's non alcoholic;;

Ethereal 27-Dec-19 08:53 PM

::Mumbled.:: Happy Holidays, Bev...

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:54 PM

Thanks, Shadow. Maybe the couple of rum-and-colas, and huge chunk of rum cake was more than I bargained for!

I was not cut off! It was merely recommended I take it easy!

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:54 PM

::Nine smiled,:: It tastes sweet familiar but I cannot place it. ::Nine told Den taking another drink from it.::

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:54 PM

Bevin> Ye tae, Cairtir (You too, Carter) ;;She gave him a quick sisterly hug and steered him toward the table with the food;;

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:55 PM

::Sets the empty glass upside-down on the table, and rolled his eyes.:: Shadow, could you make sure the Captain gets to his quarters in one piece?

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:55 PM

I'm not really sure.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:55 PM

Shadow> Could well be Cap ;; looks over to Patterson;; Of course sir, if not Sickbay

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:56 PM

I'm fine! ::glances at Shadow:: But ... maybe an escort wouldn't be a bad thing.

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:56 PM

::Nine licked her lips after drinking it and looked to Hine for another.::

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:56 PM

Root beer, but the other stuff not sure about.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:56 PM

::sips his brandy quietly, watching the antics around him::

Warden 27-Dec-19 08:57 PM

I'm sure you'd have no complaints if I had one of the nurses escort you to bed instead of Shadow, Zak. ::Smirked with a wink.:: If there isn't one already waiting on-call?

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:57 PM

Shadow> That's one reason I stick with Cider someone has to keep a clear head when dealing with those who indulge

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:57 PM

::Chuckling to himself.:: Well? Whaddya think of my creation you two? ::To Den and Nine.::

Captain Zak 27-Dec-19 08:58 PM

::winks back at Patterson:: Confidential and classified, Colonel. See you tomorrow!

Kairi 27-Dec-19 08:58 PM

I like it, can I have another. ::Nine grinned at Hine having enjoyed the drink::

Angelus 27-Dec-19 08:59 PM

Its not bad.

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 08:59 PM

Shadow>;; made sure to get the Captain tucked in his bunk for the night before heading back for the party;;

Nightmare 27-Dec-19 08:59 PM

::Smiled, looking at Den as he began to pour another drink for both of them.:: Careful with these, though. There's JUUUUUST enough alcohol to sneak up on most people by the 3rd glass.

Nikosh.Targus 27-Dec-19 08:59 PM

::finishes his second brandy, stands:: I will be retiring now. Good evening everyone, and may the New Year bring you Peace and Long Life!

ShadowWind 27-Dec-19 09:00 PM

Shadow>Live long and Prosper Shayana

Kairi 27-Dec-19 09:00 PM

::Nine wasn't use to alcohol so it would probably sneak up on her or knock her over the head by the second one.:: Thank you. ::She took the second drink drinking it slower already seeing double.::

Angelus 27-Dec-19 09:00 PM

Then you definitely need to stop at two. ::looking at Kat::
