PNPC Akani Xira - I Hate Small Talk
Renaie Shortrith
((Salt Caverns, Endicronimas V))
Xira wandered slowly through the caverns, unsure entirely of where she was going, but knowing she needed to give herself a chance to wander so she could get out.
After a while, she noticed Georgia making her own way down, but she didn't know how to interact after such a traumatic thing that happened.
Xira's drifting was interrupted by a voice she swore she recognised.
Dohna: Hello? Do you remember me? I'm Lieutenant Dohna T'Alia, I was an engineering officer on the USS Compass Rose.
Xira wasn't sure who the Lieutenant was talking to.
Holley: Dohna T’Alia. I remember you, yeah. ::gesturing to herself:: Ensign Georgia Holley.
Akani: Lieutenant Dohna? I… You're alive… I'm Ensign Akani Xira, if you remember.
Any: Response
Dohna: It's good to see you. ::pausing:: I'm glad I'm not the only survivor.
Holley: It is nice to know I’m not alone. I’m sorry we had to go through it, though.
Akani: I… I honestly don't know how we're alive.
Any: Response
The group was silent before Lieutenant Dohna spoke up again.
Dohna: Are there drinks down here? Maybe something that isn't one of Doctor Beck's vitamin concoctions? ::laughs::
Holley: ::a snort:: God, I hope so.
Akani: I… ::softly and quietly:: There should be.
Dohna/Any: Response
Akani: Have you interacted with Doctor Beck? I… I don't know what to make of him, but he seems… nice.
Holley: I know, he’s very nice. But he could do better about having some taste.
Xira said nothing, but shrugged.
Dohna/Any: Response
Holley: So… ::she tapped her fingers against her leg:: done anything fun while we’ve been here other than this? I could use some recommendations. I haven’t really… gotten out much.
Akani: Not really…
oO Small talk? Really? Oo
Dohna/Any: Response
Akani: I… I suppose so… I guess I'm not really one to say. When I vaguely interacted with one of the medical officers and the counsellor… Neither of them had any suggestions.
Holley/Dohna/Any: Response
oO I have to stick with small talk though, right? Oo
Akani: Should we ask around later?
Holley/Dohna/Any: Response
Akani: Yeah… I suppose so.
Holley/Dohna/Any: Response
