Commander Ava Munro - The Great Escape
Ava Munro
(( ‘Appetite Optional’, Ferenginar ))
Ava indicated the rest of her hasperat with just a thin slice missing.
Munro: Captain, feel free to finish this? I'm not putting my mouth or my body through anymore pain :: smiles wickedly :: I am enjoying watching the showdown.
Bancroft: ::hoarsely, trying to rally:: Captain, your fortitude is truly admira– hrkhkhggg– truly admirable, ma’am.
Ava could only offer a sympathetic glance towards Roy before she remembered that it was his fault they were here. His fault that they were being forced to eat questionable Gagh, and now red hot hasperat that would sear the insides of a Tholian.
Of course, Mackenzie was clearly some kind of omnipotent being who was currently toying with them. The evidence was right there in front of them.
MacKenzie: ...you're not going to throw up, are you?
The front door to the restaurant slammed open and a squat Ferengi in a rumpled pinstriped uniform stormed into the dining area, wielding a PADD like it was a bat’leth.
Ferengi Inspector: FRING! ::bellowing towards the back of the restaurant:: Are those off-worlders EATING?!
Ava twisted to catch it. Was this a dinner performance? Another opportunity for profit? When she saw the face of the inspector she quickly assessed that that wasn't the case. He had the look of someone who took their job very seriously.
Ferengi Inspector: This is the THIRD time this week! Your food service license has been revoked for nearly two months! ::rounding on the three officers:: And as for you three– ::eyes narrowing:: –did you sign the waiver?
Ava looked quizzically towards the others. Waiver? The captain did not look impressed when she turned her attention to Roy.
Bancroft: ::whispering to MacKenzie and Munro:: Are we about to become culinary fugitives?
oO If I get banned from another planet - Oo
MacKenzie: How exciting!
Munro: At least we don't need to :: looks to the CO :: Enjoy the rest of our food.
Ferengi Inspector: –absolutely not bribing me enough to turn a blind eye to this. Three more fatalities and I have to fill out an incident form, Fring!
A long pause followed, during which Roy set down his fork very, very slowly.
Bancroft: ::voice low:: Captain, Commander, may I suggest a… strategic tactical withdrawal? I did pass a high-speed street-luge course just down the block. It’s Ferengi tax-law themed. You race gravity sleds while evading debt collectors, and it seems ideal for anyone wishing to immediately leave this establishment.
The high-arched auburn eyebrows of the Artemis CO wiggled with vigor, a gleam of mischief twinkling in her bright blue eyes.
MacKenzie: And miss out on the fun? I've been waiting for a Ferengi to yell at another Ferengi since we left that gods-forsaken gymnasium.
Munro: Captain, I don't -
Bancroft: Response
Before they could finish their pleas of mercy MacKenzie popped another forkful of the pinwheel in her mouth, then used the utensil to point at Bancroft as her eyes started to water again.
MacKenzie: Besides, I don't feel sick, do you?
Bancroft: Response
She glanced half-heartedly in Munro's direction.
MacKenzie: I don't think she counts.
Munro: I would agree with that. Absolutely I do not count. On that note :: she smirked towards Roy :: I have a meeting to attend too back on the ship.
She would rather be doing anything than endure another moment of this torture. Roy was going to have to endure it alone, and lay in the bed he had made for himself.
The pair of Ferengi started to get louder. MacKenzie tapped the table, and then turned to face her colleagues, clearly annoyed by the escalating situation.
MacKenzie: If they come over here and try to keep me from taking the rest of my hasparat to go, I will get belligerent.
Munro: :: to Roy :: Good luck :: to the Captain :: Let's have drinks next time :: cautiously :: Normal drinks. The colourful type you put umbrellas in.
She nodded her farewell and tapped her commbadge.
Munro: =/\= :: pointedly :: One to beam up. =/\=
