Ensign Jania Nis - Oh So Awkward
Jania Nis
(OOC: I almost abandoned this when I saw Caras’s post come out but then I figured what the heck, Jania in my head is super awkward when she’s not in the midst of a medical emergency so y'all should get used to it...)
(( Gymnasium, Deck 5, Octavia E Butler ))
The first time Jania realized she was not alone in the gymnasium was when she heard Lhandon shouting. She was, after all, nine meters up above them, nearing the highest point in the gym’s rock-climbing wall. It was a small wall compared to climbs she’d done on Trill, but better than nothing.
When she looked down, she saw Lhandon and Morro with two others she hadn’t seen as much. A Lieutenant Maxwell and another man she didn’t recognize.
Lhandon was wearing boxing gloves. Even from where she was, she could see his loose-fitting gym vest with his arms and visible tattoos of some sorts of geometric forms, and the lines of other tattoos that were not visible. He was not unattractive, and the mysterious tattoos gave him an unexpected appeal. She suddenly remembered touching his ankle to heal it. He had been so aggressive, then, and he looked aggressive now.
It was an awkward scene to hover over, so Jania looked away and continued her ascent.
Maxwell/Any: Response
Once again, he pummeled the bag. He put his full force into it.
Nilsen: Toxin has! Everything we had build in ops. ::Punches bag:: Everything we had together ::punches again:: He’s just thrown it away ::Punches repeatedly::
oO Toxin again. That guy must really be struggling after the OVIV entity. Oo
O’Reilly: I think I saw him in the hall just now.
Maxwell/Any: Response
Caras: What does he think you did?
Nilsen: How dare I have thoughts of my own? ::punches bag:: How dare I use my initiative? ::punches bag again::
Maxwell/Any: Response
Nilsen: And you know the worst part? ::punches bag:: Doing this right now ::punches bag:: to get it out of myself ::punches again:: I’m proving his damn point.
O’Reilly: Are you Lhando? Don’t you think he’s being a little stubborn from what I’ve heard?
oO Stubborn? Oo
Toxin really seemed to be acting erratically. But she didn’t know him. She didn’t know any of them, really. All she knew was the way she’d seen Ensign Guthrah react to the hallucinations--with a complete detachment from reality. And Toxin had been so evasive after he’d collapsed. Evasive ... and stubborn--hadn’t he told her point blank he’d still be drinking alcohol on the Dyson ring, although she’d warned him against it?
Caras: If not getting angry when you’re disrespected is wrong, then who really wants to be right?
Maxwell/Any: Response
O’Reilly: What happened between you two?
She tried not to listen, knowing it was wrong. But it was also interesting.
oO At least tell them you’re up here. Oo
oO Oh yeah? What do I do, shout down, “Hey everyone! Having a nice training session?” Oo
Caras: It’s hard to believe that he’d throw it all away. Did he dismiss you? Are you no longer Assistant Chief of ops?
Nilsen/Maxwell/Any: Response
Teddy picked up some dumbells and started doing curls.
O’Reilly: You don’t have to share but…this seems so big. Never seen you like this.
Never seen him like this. Okay, there was something up. They were all affected by the entity on OVIV. She wasn’t just making it up.
Nilsen/Maxwell/Any: Response
O’Reilly: What do you think caused it?
Caras: I couldn’t believe what he said about you on the last mission. I don’t think I would say that even if it were true for anyone.
O’Reilly/Nilsen/Maxwell/Any: Response
Caras: Maybe his new lover is jealous of you and wants you gone.
No! Lover?! That couldn’t be right. This was a medical issue, right?
oO Say something. Let them know you’re here. But don’t be weird about it. Oo
She turned to say something … and her foot slipped, and she lost her hold. In a matter of moments, she was rappelling down the side of the climbing wall. She landed, but they seemed too distracted by their conversation to notice. Lhandon had his back to her and hadn't acknowledged her. Still, she was now standing a few meters away.
Nilsen: Response
Caras: I heard him say something about Henry under his breath during the last mission. It sounded… Intimate.
O’Reilly/Maxwell:Response
Nis: Uh … hi everyone! :: gulping:: oO Don’t ask if they’re having a nice training session. Oo :: Yeah, we didn’t hear any of that. Not sure what y’all are talking about at all. :: Scratching her neck :: Okay, well we’re done on the wall for the day. Have a nice train-- ::bites her tongue to avoid saying it training session :: Yup.
Well, this was what everyone said about her. Great bedside manner and completely awkward as hell in any other situation. That was fine. It was who she was. Still, they should know her thoughts about Toxin’s issue. If it helped.
