(( Holodeck 2 ))
Mark was with Minxing - who would have been recognizable in
everything thanks to his unique features, and someone he had not
met yet, they thought. Maybe but the mask could make that hard to
recognize. Shimisi wore sequins and shiny pants in a beautiful
blue colour and a fascinating mask, the other soft fabric coloured
layered robes and a pant suit, combined with a feathered mask that
looked very soft.
Georgio walked up to the group the sequins of their floor long
skirt sparkling with every step of clickedy clack on the floor.
The smile on his face almost as bright as the rhinestones fixed to
his face and the poofy semi transparent sleeves.
Maramox: Have either of you been to a masquerade before?
Mark: Nope, this is my first one!
Shimisi: No, I've read about them, but never been in a real one.
Georgio: Welcome gentlemen! ::He greeted Shimisi and the man he
didn't recognize before turning to Mark.:: You... look
breathtaking.
Not that he needed breath, but the word felt right, since he had
literally gasped seeing him like this.
Shimisi: Thanks... I thought I was being discrete with the suit.
The hologram couldn't stop smiling bright seeing how much Mark
blushed. It made him especially adorable, even more than he
already was.
Mark: Thanks. I hope you approve.
Maramox: You do look quite nice. ::Maramox nodded::
Georgio: Oh cupcake, I don't have enough words to say how
impressed I am. ::The the others.:: Doesn't he look dazzling?
::Ever the proud boyfriend.::
Shimisi: Oh, … I guess... I'm not someone with a great sense of
style and fashion.
Mark: I’m glad you like it.
Maramox: Everyone really brought their best today.
The hologram grinned at Mark and had to practically force himself
to take his eyes off him for a moment to properly greet the other
two with him. He did however move up to stand right next to Mark
and hook his arm with him.
Georgio: Minxing you look dashing, the detail on this mask is
beautiful. Where did you find it? ::Turning to the other.:: I do
not believe we met, darling. I'm Georgio, such a pleasure to meet
me, I know. ::he grinned and held out his hand as if he waited for
a hand kiss.::
Mark: Oh, Georgio, this is Ensign Maramox! You’ll love them!
Mark: Not yet. ::he turned towards Maramox:: I know Perax pretty
OK. And you know Mec, right?
Maramox: It’s nice meeting you all. I’m a doctor, so I’m certain
we’ll see each other at some point.
Georgio: I'll be sure to see you when I visit Mark at work. ::He
grinned widely, after all as a Hologram he usually needed an
engineer.::
Shimisi: :: To Georgio :: Coming from you I take it as a real
compliment. I've worked on the mask with the help of Perax and
Mec. Have you seen any of them?
Mark: Not yet. ::he turned towards Maramox:: I know Perax pretty
OK. And you know Mec, right?
Maramox: Yes. Mec and I are roomates actually.
Georgio: Oh another new crew member, how lovely! ::He grinned and
looked to Shimisi:: I did see Leran, he introduced himself to me
when he came in. Went to get refreshments earlier.
Shimisi: Well, next time I might seek your advice for this kind of
things. Style is your department... Maybe I'll ask you about that
for some of the things I have in mind.
Mark: Absolutely! Georgio is the best at making you feel and look
amazing!
Maramox: I’d love to ask you for some advice. Is there anything
you’re thinking of doing tonight? ::They cringed at themself.
Feeling a wave of gratefulness for the mask.::
Hearing Georgio he gently squeezed his arm with a big smile.
Georgio: Thank you sweetcheeks. ::He said quietly before looking
to Mingxing.:: Oh honey, you look great as you are, the Mask is a
wonderful design. But I'll be happy to hear your ideas and advise
you. ::Looking to Maramox.:: Oh I plan to enjoy the party, the
razzle dazzle and sparkles.
Shimisi: For the moment, I guess we enjoy the decoration and the
company. Do you have anything in mind?
Mark: I dunno, I figured get a drink, see everyone’s costume and
wait for Captain Rajel to start a speech?
Maramox: That seems like a great plan! ::They shouted a little
excited, then followed at a more reasonable level::
Shimisi: Seems a tradition that those parties come with a speech
by the Commodore and maybe some... shinies.
Georgio: Oh yes, Shinies! Perfect for this party.
Still hooked with Mark's arm he started to follow towards the
refreshments.
Mark: Oh yeah, we were supposed to get drinks for everyone! Come
on! What does everyone want?
Maramox: We should see if they have some lemonade. Something
citrus-y ::They smiled over at Mark.::
Shimisi: I'll go with the juice too, I want to start easy as the
party might be long.
Georgio: Oh! Yes Elias got special drinks for us. ::He beamed at
Mark.:: I will try anything he may have for us.
Shimisi: Anything special for you?
Georgio: If you all have juices then I think I want to try one of
the holo ones.
Good to start somewhere.
Mark: Response
Shimisi: Good. Then, as the host, how much time do we have until
Jalana gives her speech and we're set loose on the party?
Host? Oh yes he was the host! Oh that felt good, maybe he should
organize more parties and events. His eyes wandered around the
room, spotting Jalana with Mark's Grandpa Cade. As he turned back
he took the glass with his holo juice.
Georgio: It should be soon. You know she won't be able to wait
long, she's always so excited for these shinies.
Shimisi: I must confess that since I've become part of this crew,
my social interactions in these events have improved.
Georgio: Oh what's wonderful honey. Is the crew rubbing off on
you?
Mark/Maramox: Response
Shimisi: As everyone follows her style, it's hard not to mingle
and loosen up. I still find it hard to do it on duty as I have
years of following rules, be careful to stand up challenging the
way things are and family responsibilities.
Georgio: Oh honey you'll find your own way in the dynamic. Don't
you worry about it.
Mark/Maramox: Response
Shimisi: It comes with the planet and species. But don't worry,
I'm starfleet now, not just a Pygorian.
Georgio: Of course you are both. ::He looked confused.:: Is that a
biological expression?
Mark/Maramox/Shimisi: Response
Georgio: Oh, maybe it's because as Hologram I have no ingrained
culture. Or is my culture fashion and beauty? ::He grinned.::
Mark/Maramox/Shimisi: Response
He was not really used to having a drink so he had almost
forgotten about it. He noticed the glass still in his hand and
then raised it to smell and tilts his head. Did the holo-drink
emulate a smell? Maybe or he imagined that. Then he took a careful
sip from the glass and smiles brightly.
Georgio: Oh this.. is this what fruit tastes like? Oh how
marvelous! Have you tried it yet cupcake? ::He looked at Mark.::
Mark/Maramox/Shimisi: Response
