Ensign Richard Matthews - Well that Depends
Matthew Gough
((Intergalactic Museum of Toilets, Dangan Prime, Alpha Isles))
Semara: Lieutenant Junior Grade Amelia Semara. Pleasure to meet you. ::Rising with a smile.:: But enough a’ that. I bet there’s somethin’ even weirder either in this museum or the next one. Wanna help me find it?
Stros: I would be delighted.
Stros: If my friend Ensign Matthews here may accompany us.
Semara: :: A faux gasp :: You've been makin' friends with the senior officers without me? The nerve! :: A growing grin. ::
Matthews: It’s just that I’m so lovable, I can’t help it. :: Richard grinned :: Would you tell a bee not to make honey? A wolf does not call to the moon . . . a . . . I’m blanking on a Betazoid animal. My metaphor is crumbling around me like a house of cards.
Focused as he was on trying to get the words out. To express his thoughts just the littlest better. He didn’t notice the info on the next exhibit and, well, was left a little befuddled at the site.
Stros: Would this count as ‘weirder’?
Hopefully, otherwise that thing was normal and Richard didn’t want to meet the species that needed that size of a toilet.
Semara: :: A snort. :: I ain't sure I'd wanna see myself in the metal on my landin' approach, y'know?
Matthews: ::Head tilted in confusion:: Which way are you supposed to sit?
Stros: It makes one wonder what kind of ‘hardware’ one much have to use such an…interesting commode.
Semara: Do you think you're supposed to... :: Motioning in the air as if imagining a few ways to situate one's self. :: No, that ain't it. :: Turning around then backing up closer. :: Ain't that either... :: Turning back around then inspecting closer. :: Ooooh! Look. There's little markin's on the inside. :: brightening. :: Maybe it's like some kind'a contest or challenge.
Matthews: Like . . . the water gun game at the carnival?
An image of starfleet officers all lined up in front of strange urinals came to mind. Trying to pop a water balloon the fastest.
Which ew no. There was an idea that would never see the light of day again
Stros: Response
Semara: Guys-guys-guys! :: Beckoning with a fluttering hand. :: Look what I found!
Matthews: What do your elf eyes see?
Stros: Response
Semara: I thought this thing was a myth! :: Beat :: I bet it would feel so weird! :: Suddenly thoughtful :: But it does make you wonder - how much a' what's inside you is "you"?
Matthews: ::Reading the info plaque:: Wait, from right out of you? Not like, you go in a uniformed issued . . . um . . . undergarment for adults and have it beamed away then?
Stros: Response
Matthews: I’m already imagining terrible ways to utilize teleporting the innards of a person. I wonder why we haven’t seen this weaponized. Everyone is always trying to weaponize things after all.
Semara / Stros: Response
Matthews: Okay honestly I’m curious now to see the advances in toilets before and after a species became warp capable. We saw advances in so many things. Where’s museum brochure?
Semara / Stros: Response
