Natasha Schell
((Taste of the Quadrants – Deck 229, Deep Space 224))
Cole: I honestly don’t know. I was thinking of exploring the station, but outside of that I was probably doing some tinkering, As long as my roommate doesn’t… overshare themself.
MacKenzie and Sam both looked at Natasha with curious faces.
MacKenzie: Overshare?
Richards: I’m intrigued. Tell me more.
Cole: As you may know my roommate is Ensign Tho’Bi. And well I have quickly discovered that Andorians are more ::beat:: free spirited in how they dress ::clears throat:: or don’t, when in their quarters.
MacKenzie: Free-spirited…
Sam had let out a small laugh while MacKenzie had a more curious look on her face.
Richards: My boyfriend is Betazoid. It’s almost strange to see him wearing clothes sometimes. ::waving her hand:: It’s not the same, but I sympathize.
Cole: It’s not the first time I’ve seen a nude male body. Comes with… ::smirk:: previous experience.
Before either of the women could remark on Natasha’s comment, the holo-waiter arrived with their drinks. Doctor MacKenzie took her drink and paused for a moment to take in a deep inhale of the aroma, before taking a sip. Natasha took her drink, and took a deliberate sip and let it wash over her tongue. Enjoying the flavor as it settled in her mouth. Being able to enjoy the company of her new friends was nice.
MacKenzie: We can always find you a new bunkmate if it proves to be… problematic. ::shifting her gaze to Sam:: How are the babies doing?
Richards: Well, according to the last check-up they are healthy and growing. ::Rubbing her bump:: Though, I’m not sure how much more they or I can grow. I think I’m reaching ‘smuggling a giant watermelon’ territory now.
Cole: ::to mackenzie:: I don’t think that will be necessary Cap … ::beat:: Dr. Mackenzie. I had considered stunning him and dragging him to the brig, but then I’d have to report myself, and that’s a mountain of reports. So I appealed to reason, and reminded him that such displays are culturally different.
MacKenzie nodded.
MacKenzie: What about you, Sam? Anything fun this shore leave? I hear Lieutenant Bergmen has something up his sleeve, but probably more suited for Ensign Cole…
Richards: ::Holding her hands up in surrender:: I am not getting wrapped up in some crazy drill ::glancing at Nat:: But that does sure sound right up your alley. ::Shaking her head and sipping her water:: I am spending this leave getting everything we can ready for the kiddos to make their appearance. It’s uh… Coming a lot quicker than I anticipated.
Cole: Sounds like a stressful time, when my sibling was born, my parents fortunately had various things from when I was born.
Natasha looked down at her drink, she needed to remember to get some pictures to send off to Juno. She had promised to send them interesting visuals.
MacKenzie: Response
Richards: I actually have some more shopping to do for them while we are here. Word on the block is 224 has some awesome places to get baby things. ::shrugging and laughing:: They can’t just wear Hawaiian shirts and onesies with funny sayings on them. ::glancing between the two women:: If either of you are interested in joining me, I’d love some shopping buddies.
Cole: ::stifling a giggle:: Hawaiian shirts, that’s a style choice I loved as a kid. I’d be up for a shopping trip. I promised Juno some souvenirs, sounds fun.
MacKenzie: Response
The smell of the food was an interesting blend of spice and a hint of something she couldn’t place. As the holo-waiter set down everyone’s dish’s Natasha wondered if she might have room for dessert.
Richards: Let’s hope this place lives up to expectations. I’m starving.
Cole: It all smells really good, not sure which to dig into.
MacKenzie/Richards: Response
Cole: I was sorry to hear about General Kexxin, he was a good man who wanted peace. ::moment of silence:: I wonder if he thought all human women are redheads.
MacKenzie/Richards: Response
TAG/TBC!
