Cmdr. Genkos Adea - Slurring Schpeech

[Genkos Adea]

((Old West Simulation - Quark’s Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holo-Suite Arcade - Deep Space Nine))

The doctor’s laugh rescinded as he tried to reassert control over himself. He was feeling quite drunk, he had to admit, but whether it was from the drinks at Quark’s or the power he now had over Talos, only tomorrow morning would tell.

Adea: But no, like is this a crush, or is it something more serious?

Hallia shifted her weight to the side, almost lying down as Talos shrugged and Genkos looked bewildered between the two of them.

Dakora: I don’t know. The two of us have been through a lot together. There were times when we had to– I don’t know– depend on each other. Real life and death stuff. It’s hard not to start thinking about the maybes and the what-ifs after stuff like that. You know? 

Yellir: It’s easy to bond over collective trauma. Might also be something strictly platonic. Platonic good-buddies never hurt anyone did it?

Genkos opened his mouth to reply but couldn’t think of anything to say, so his jaw just hung there for a moment. 

Dakora: What about you two!? ::He pointed to Genkos and slurred out a few more words:: I know YOU managed to bag a whole Commodore. How the heck did that happen?

Genkos tried to draw himself up to his full height, but it didn’t really work because he was sat down.

Adea: Kalianna and I… we… ::he paused:: we’re in love.

With dopey nods Hallia actively tried to shrink herself away, which only drew their attention. 

Dakora: And what about you Hallia? I feel like you’re being suspiciously quiet…

As the XO pointed her out she placed a hand on her chest feigning an offended expression.

Yellir: Me? What? Quiet? No— Never! I’ve-I’ve been happily on my own for a very long time and I’m completely okay with that. 

Adea: There’s a ::slurring:: Shakeschpeare quote that works here - me thinks the lady doth too much protest… or something.

It was from Julius Caesar. Or King Lear. Or maybe Hamlet - his mother would know.

Dakora: Response?

Hallia gesticulated with limp hands as she seemed to stumble over her own words.

Yellir: Hey— I’m allowed to window shop. But I have been far too busy to indulge in maintaining a relation—tionship like that. Also, I don’t think it would be appropriate for me as a Department Head.

Genkos looked over at Talos, a look of mock bewilderment and outrage plastered all over his face.

Adea: Like me and Talosh aren’t? He’s the FO by the four!

Yellir/Dakora: Response?

Genkos shook his head vehemently which caused him to fall off the stump.

Adea: Ouch! Look, I think we can all agree that everyone ish entitled to love - even ush.

Yellir/Dakora: Response

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
