Ba'el: It certainly is, isn't it. ::Looks at Shimisi's outfit:: And you look very handsome this evening Shimisi.
Foster: agreed! Greetings Lieutenant!
Shimisi: Hello doctor. And Thank you Ba'el, you're absolutely gorgeous in that dress.
Kincaid: Respond
Ba’el: Thank you! I'm glad you could join us Shimisi. Drink?
Shimisi: Yes, of course! :: To Kincaid :: Your suit really shines and your colour selection is awesome. It certainly makes you stand. What are you up to?
Foster: Oh, you know, the usual. Talking costumes, inspirations, and what drinks don’t mix with gagh. Though that last one is all Elias.
Foster: agreed! Greetings Lieutenant!
Shimisi: Hello doctor. And Thank you Ba'el, you're absolutely gorgeous in that dress.
Kincaid: Respond

Ba'el laughed and Cade just grinned like they were sharing a personal joke.
Ba'el: I think you'll find the Klingon digestive system is a bit more robust than a human one.
Shimisi: I won't enter that challenge, I appreciate myself too much to lose to that bet.
Kincaid: Respond

Shimisi: I won't enter that challenge, I appreciate myself too much to lose to that bet.
Kincaid: Respond
Ba’el: Hah! You should be more adventurous Lieutenant. You never know what you might be missing out on.
Foster: Respond
T'Seva: Everyone's responded to this so differently.
Foster: How so, Commander?
T'Seva: Different ideas. Different interpretations. It's like a visible expression of IDIC.
Shimisi: You're right, that's one of the things that prompted me to enter Starfleet. So much to see, so much to experience, so much to discover, even about one simple topic, there's a bunch of ideas, beliefs and interpretations.
Kincaid: Respond
Foster: Respond

Kincaid: Respond
Ba’el: It certainly will expose you to a variety of new ideas.
T'Seva: I hope we aren't scaring the new crewmembers who aren't used to epic Connie parties.
T'Seva: I hope we aren't scaring the new crewmembers who aren't used to epic Connie parties.
Ba'el glanced over to the entrance in time to see Ensign Maramox enter the room.
Foster: Naw, they look fine…
Shimisi: Maybe some might still feel uneasy after all the shapeshifters things,:: he thought of Jalana and what happened to her :: but if everything goes right, this could be a good therapy for us all.
Kincaid: Respond

Kincaid: Respond
Ba’el: ::Nodding in agreement:: Agreed. Sometimes it's good to "Let our hair" down as the saying goes.
T'Seva: I actually did find my first one a little intimidating. Now...well...it's always something to explore, have fun with, and throw oneself into.
Foster: anything new is intimidating. And everyone responds different. Whether that’s a first contact or a first party.
T'Seva: I actually did find my first one a little intimidating. Now...well...it's always something to explore, have fun with, and throw oneself into.
Foster: anything new is intimidating. And everyone responds different. Whether that’s a first contact or a first party.
Ba'el takes another sip of her drink as she listens. Foster's word's of wisdom came from life experiences and were always something to listen to and to appreciate.
Shimisi: I'm all for first chances. It means the chance of discovery and learning.
Kincaid: Respond
Shimisi: I'm all for first chances. It means the chance of discovery and learning.
Kincaid: Respond
Ba’el: Well said Shimisi. ::looks past the group for a brief moment:: And speaking of chances.....
At that, the others turned to see what Ba'el was looking at. Jalana walking over, looking resplendent in her gown of choice for the evening.
Rajel: Excuse me, Cade?
Foster: Respond
Rajel: Can I steal you away for a moment? ::She asked him before briefly looking to the members of the group.:: If you don't mind.
Foster: Respond
Ba'el: ::Waving her hand:: We don't mind at all Jalana. He's all yours.
Shimisi: Of course not,... we'll... remain here!
T'Seva: Respond
Kincaid: Respond
They all watched the pair walk away for a moment, saying nothing. After a second of quiet contemplation, Shimsi broke the spell.
Shimisi: I hope everything's okay...
Ba'el: They'll be fine Shimisi. After everything that happened so recently, I'm sure many people have gotten new perspectives on their lives.
Foster: Respond

Kincaid: Respond
Shimisi: Oh, I just hope it's nothing she might need from the CMO...
Ba'el: ::Toothy grin:: Well where's the fun in that?
Shimisi: I'll take your word for it. So, tell me, what can I expect from a party like this. I learn, there's a way through it, any kind of ritual, procedure or something is common knowledge except for those like me who are not familiar with masquerade balls?
Ba'el: I'm still new to this idea myself Shimisi. ::Motions to T'Seva:: She's been helping me to understand all this.
Ba'el: ::Toothy grin:: Well where's the fun in that?

Ba'el: I'm still new to this idea myself Shimisi. ::Motions to T'Seva:: She's been helping me to understand all this.
T'Seva: All I know is that there is a point at which those wearing masks are supposed to simultaneously remove them. In a traditional ball that would happen at midnight local time. I think for this the right time might be when Jalana starts announcing ribbons, but...nobody told me. Other than that, it's just about mingling.
Kincaid: Respond
Shimisi: I'll try to have it in mind... It's good to have these from time to time. To mingle around is a great opportunity for me to know you all better. I'm still trying to loosen up a bit in these situations...
Ba'el: As Dr Sydney Freeman, one of my instructors at the Starfleet academy once said to us in class. "Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants, and slide on the ice." It took me some time to realize what he meant.

T'Seva: I will say these events help ME loosen up.
Kincaid: Respond
Shimisi: Talking about loosen up,... :: looking at Ba'el :: Are you comfortable in that dress? It seems a bit heavy and, it's comfortable to move around? Somehow, I feel it's not exactly Klingon style, right?
Ba'el: ::Arches an eyebrow:: You think this is heavy? You should try wearing a Klingon Opera outfit sometime.

Ba'el: ::Arches an eyebrow:: You think this is heavy? You should try wearing a Klingon Opera outfit sometime.
T'Seva: Oh, we wandered around the Hinji Bazaar until we got some inspiration. Everything except the wings is just put together from there. So...longer time to decide, not long to make. It did take me three attempts to replicate the wings, though.
Shimisi: Oh, I like it, it looks really great on you, I was just wondering about it. As you can see, mine is pretty simple. :: changing his sight to T'Seva :: Yours is also great and eye catching. It took you long to decide on the design and make it?
Kincaid: Respond

Kincaid: Respond
T'Seva: It's worth it. And I have it all holo-recorded, too, so I could re-create it later if I ever needed to.
Ba'el: That's definitely a good idea.
Shimisi: Respond
Ba'el looked around again for a moment.
Ba'el: If you'll excuse me, I think I will go introduce myself to our new crewmembers
Kincaid: Respond
