Wethern: I really hope it wasn't someone's pet.


S`zurak: Response?


Sol grinned, matching the previous bet.


McLaren: It happens to the best of us.


Fairhug: What’s that Terran expression about learning as you live?


Wethern: Live and learn? I prefer the I deny anything your honour.


S`zurak: Response?


Sol looked between the three of them


McLaren: So then, who else has an interesting academy story?


Four pairs of eyes flicked from side to side, waiting for someone to speak first.


Fairhug: I’m not sure the CO sharing embarrassing Academy stories is appropriate.


He smirked, clearly hinting that he wasn’t entirely serious.


Wethern: Surely it should be setting and example boss to go first.


S`zurak: Response?


Fairhug: Let’s hear yours first, Corey. Then I’ll decide if it’s safe for me to share mine.


Sol looked over at Corey as he began his story.


Wethern: Well where can I start, however very similarly to how we may or may not have Ensign bingo on sb118. Me and another recruit might have enjoyed playing pranks on each other. We had a simulated surgery however on my friends turn I had programmed at random the organs to move around as a joke. Only issue was the instructor changed the order we were due to practice. I ended up playing pin down the appendix. How about you all?


Sol laughed.


McLaren: Well sounds like you played yourself instead...


S’zurak: Responses


Gogi chuckled, listening to Corey’s story as he watched Sol deal the next round of cards.


King of Clubs to S’zurak. 2 of Hearts to Gogi. 2 of Diamonds to Wethern. 7 of Hearts to Sol.


Fairhug: Okay, I’ll share. Bets first, though? Who’s up?


Wethern: I'm in. Come on then Fairhug let's hear about your academy days.


Sol peered at her cards for a moment, then matched the previous bet.


McLaren: Yea, Gogi, out with it.


Fairhug/S’zurak: Responses


Sol leaned back, resting agains the back of the chair as Gogi spoke.


Fairhug/S’zurak: Responses


Wethern: How did you recover from that?


McLaren: Is that the whole story? Or is there more?


Fairhug/S’zurak: Responses


Sol sipped her drink as Gogi finished and the final bets came in. She tapped the deck on its edge and began to deal out the final cards.


McLaren: Let's see where the cards take us now.... :: she plopped a Jack of Diamonds down in front of S'zurak. :: Jack of Diamonds for the Gorn. :: She shifted to Gogi, depositing a 10 of hearts for him. :: 10 of hearts for our illustrious CO. :: She looked to Corey, and placed a Jack of hearts for the resident doctor. :: she pulled the top card off the deck and placed it infront of herself. :: Dealer gets a 4 of spades. No help all around.


Sol glanced between the other 3 at the table, and peered at her cards one last time, then she looked to Corey.


McLaren: Bet's to you again, Corey.


Fairhug/Wethern/S'zurak: Response?


Sol nodded, before pushing 3 pretzel stick into the pot.


McLaren: Raise.


Fairhug/Wethern/S'zurak: Response?


She shrugged, sipping some of her whiskey, tiling her head slightly. She tapped her hole card, it still face down.


McLaren: You'll have to call if you want to find out.


Fairhug/Wethern/S'zurak: Response?
