Last post by socrates200X - February 23, 2025, 02:42:48 PM"Commander? May I join you?" Lt. Voshen approached Tobin on the patio with a fluted glass of small, local crustaceans, a bright floral stalk waggling on top. He spent an awkward moment detangling the stem from the tubes of his respirator. "The need to embellish even the smallest foodstuffs here is certainly a choice."
A peal of laughter rang out from the main building. Ambassador Dax had reached the punchline of some story and was in the middle of replacing an empty tropical cocktail with another one. "The ambassador certainly does not seem to mind...embellishment." He clicked his vocoder twice wryly. "I will admit: it is a strange temperament to see in such a high-ranking diplomat. But his reputation speaks for itself, of course. Are all Trill functionaries as...convivial as Ambassador Dax?"

When he answers, he hears, "Oi, Banana Bender*! Fancy a few drinks with a Top Ender?" The voice unmistakably belongs to Regina Waymire, the captain's chief yeoman and fellow Aussie (from Alice Springs). It's possible that she may have already had a drink...or two...
Cole smiles broadly at this, realizing how long it's been since he had any actual downtime.
"I reckon I can drop my standards a bit, just this once. Where are you?"

Last post by Nolmir - February 20, 2025, 04:29:59 PMAfter engaging in what he judges to be the appropriate minimum of small talk, Tobin wanders out onto the patio by himself with a plate of some sort of tropical Novan delicacy -- it appears to be cubes of raw fish tossed in a mixture of vegetables with a copious drizzling of some kind of vegetable oil. Taking a seat at one of the tables, he picks at the food while he thinks.
Being involved in these talks is a great honor, but I can't help but worry about all the things that may go wrong. The intransigence of politicians knows no bounds, after all. He sighs. I wish T'Kalla were here. A little Vulcan stoicism and logic could go a long way in a situation like this.

Last post by Patrick Goodman - February 20, 2025, 01:03:44 PMRegina is played, IIRC, by Gigi Edgley, who played Chiana in Farscape. I'd have to go back and find my old list to be sure, but...there are worse candidates to have a drink with.

Last post by Davy, aka GM - February 20, 2025, 12:13:43 PMCurzon's smile broadens as the others engage. "We definitely have our work cut out for us, Mr. Cole, but this little conversation makes me glad I picked you all for this mission.
"Now," he says, "it's time to put away our thinking caps and break out our party hats. No more shop talk for the rest of the night. Cheers." The Trill raises his glass to salute the others.
OOC: Feel free to do a little chit chat and describe what your character is doing for the evening.

* For those not familiar, a "Banana Bender" is Aussie slang for someone from Queensland, which references the state's significant banana farming industry (the joke is that Queenslanders spend all their time bending bananas into shape). "Top Ender" is likewise someone from the Northern Territory (although Alice Springs itself is very much near the center of the continent). -Ed.

Last post by Renny - February 20, 2025, 06:28:38 AM"Thank you, sir", Cole answers in response to Tobin, "I get the picture. Sounds like we may have our work cut out for us here to come away with the result we're hoping for."

OOC: For this incredible answer, I'm going to grant Tobin a meritorious point of Determination for use in this episode.
