LtCmdr Atan T'Seva, Dancing?
Jennifer R. Povey
Shimisi: Of course! :: They saw her moving away :: So, do you think we'll be asked to dance? With some of the outfits will be a bit difficult. I'm lucky I have a simple one.
T'Seva: Dancing is traditional at these events.
Kincaid: More than likely. But most songs are like ta be slower so folks don’t have ta worry about their costumes bein’ unruly.
T'Seva: And I designed mine so that if they get annoying, I can just take the wings off and put them in the corner.
Shimisi: Elias, you've seen many parties, what kind are your favourites?
Kincaid: Oh, that’s a good question. Reckon we’ve had so many that it’s hard ta pick. I s’pose the ones I like most are the ones that follow the worst missions. Especially if’n we’ve lost folks prior, cause those are tha moments when folks need a bright light ta bring them back outta tha dark. And parties can do that.
Shimisi: Personally I'm thankful for others to plan parties. I'll be terrible at it.
Kincaid: It definitely takes a logistical mind ta manage everythin’ proper. Some parties are easy ta plan and some can be a nightmare. But it’s worth it every time if folks end up happy.
T'Seva: It's not one of my skills, but I appreciate every party that's happened on this ship.
Shimisi: I might be good with machines, they're logical, follow predictable patterns... people tend to be more chaotic and managing that requires... something else.
Kincaid: I call it gumption. ::he laughed:: Starfleet folks are a might bit like corrallin’ cats. Some wander a lot and are a pain ta herd, some have sharp claws and require proper protective wear an some just need treats.
Was it a perfect metaphor, perhaps not, but in Elias’ mind it was pretty close.
T'Seva: :: laughing :: I think I fall under "just need treats."
Shimisi: Response
Kincaid: Everyone has different tolerances fer bein’ around people. So I always like seein’ folks sidle out of their comfort zones ta connect with everyone. Even if they can only handle a few minutes at a time.
T'Seva: As long as people don't tire themselves out...so...is everyone going to dance?
Shimisi: Response
Kincaid: I most definitely plan ta dance. Y’all might be surprised by this, but even with mah busted leg I have been know ta cut a rug with tha best of them.
T'Seva: I will probably dance...some.
Honestly, she preferred to mingle rather than dance, but it was, as she had mentioned, traditional. And she wasn't going to argue with those traditions.
Maybe she could find somebody to work with to do a Bajoran style party one day...but she wasn't attempting it on her own!
