Ensign Mi'shune sh'Sonora - Casting Call For a Seifu
d.reinhart
Willow: I don’t mean to interrupt, but I thought I could join you. May I?
sh’Sonora: Willow! Great to see you! ::She reaches over to hug, careful not to spill her drink on the Lieutenant’s beautiful seafoam dress. Her antennae perk up in realization, then she directs Willow towards Voss and speaks in an hyperactive fashion.:: Have you met Ensign Voss? She’s one of my friends back at the Academy. Lyra, Willow. Willow, Lyra.
Voss: Nice to meet you properly, lieutenant. ::slightly nervous at meeting someone new:: I… love the color of your dress - it’s like the caps on winter waves.
Willow: I’m imagining I am an old Hollywood starlet. It makes the evening more magical.
sh’Sonora: Old style Hollywood is the best! And it matches with the decor and building! I know I had to improvise. Probably for the best. Andorian formal robes are like a kimono had a baby with some medieval padded armor, and it’s so constricting. This is much better if you ask me.
Voss: You both seem to know more about Earth movies than I do - we were just talking about some in Mi’shune’s collection. I’ll have to study up some more. For what it’s worth, you’d fit right in at a Betazoid gala too.
Willow: ::Addressing Voss:: Haukea-Willow at your service. How do you both do?
Mi’shune was doing very well, as evidenced by the early flush in her face. Some of it was the Maybelline exobeautician line of makeup for blue-skinned aliens. The rest was from the creeping effect of her previous Andorian Ale shot.
sh’Sonora: I am grooooovy! But if you think I’m feeling great now, wait until the party really gets started.
Voss: ::laughing:: I’m probably a step down from groovy, but I guess the night is still young. How are you, Lieutenant?
Willow: Response?
Voss: So do you have a favorite old Hollywood film? Maybe I should start making a list. Between those and Mi’sh’s martial arts flatvids, that should help round out my Terran cultural education.
Willow: Response?
Voss: Certainly sounds worth watching! Have you seen that one, Mi’sh?
sh’Sonora: Well… I’m more of a Hong Kong action flick kind of gal… unless you count John Hughes films! I’m a sucker for comedies!
Voss: Maybe we need a movie night. I was introduced to popcorn when I was at the Academy and am completely obsessed - I have a great recipe for gochujang-caramel popcorn with toasted peanuts that I am always looking for an excuse to make.
sh’Sonora: Yeah, I can have that! Wait until you try my targ jerky. It’s to die for!
Willow: Response?
Voss: So this is my first time in the San Francisco district - have you had a chance to come here before, Mi’sh? Lieutenant, I imagine you’re familiar with most of Starbase 118. How long have you been stationed here?
Willow: Response?
sh’Sonora: It’s quite lovely here. Even if I spent a lot of my time at the flight school annex in Marseilles and Jupiter Station, San Francisco is still one of my favorite universe destinations. This is a good approximation, in microcosm no less! Now, if I can only find a good Wing Chun instructor I’d be set.
Any: ?
sh’Sonora: Yeah, my old seifu’s back on Andoria, and the only teachers around here are holographic… or the shaolin temple in the Chinatown district, but they’re not answering my calls.
Any: ?
tbc…
