(OOC, this log happens just prior to the halloween party, everyone is free to write their own personal or joint logs for the actual party, Thanks!) -=/-\=- USS Chimera -=/-\=- Shane looked at himself in the large mirror in his bathroom and sighed. Looking at his armoured body he shook his head wondering how the hell Athena managed to drag him to the Halloween party. Well ... a Halloween party wouldnt be the worst thing, but she said that costumes were REQUIRED there. There was little time to choose one and Shane replicated one he was wearing on some school costume ball when he was a little boy. He was disguised as a knight ... in bright silver full plate armour. Unfortunately the armour was made of some steel-duranium alloy and when Shane moved it made sounds like a sheep's bell. Upon moving ... one could wonder where (the heck) was the sheep herd hiding around! Rangi set the pointed hat on her head, grabbed the wooden broomstick and exited her quarters. Her long black gown swept the floor behind her as she walked towards Shanes quarters, holding the hat that constantly slipped in place. She rang the chime and waited. Richard stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He had received an invite from Athena about a halloween party, and was considering attending. Of course the only stipulation was that he would have to dress up in a costume. Walking over to the replicator he pressed in the buttons for one pirate costume. It came with a patch to put over his left eye, a red bandana around his head, a set of holey pants and even a nice long sword. Jason looks in the mirror and laughs at himself dressed in a red devil suit "You really need to go on a diet" he says out loud as he picks up the red fork and turns towards the door {I don't know why I always let myself to persuade to something... } thought Terek as he put on his face a last layer of light consuming colour. Alex rushed to him later this afternoon saying that there is going to be some sort of big action tonight. But she didn't tell him that costumes are necessary before he agreed to go. Now he's sitting here, with replicated deep black colour which makes one look like a blackhole. {All right now just these} he said to himself and put out two contact lenses from a box on the sink. Two red glowing lenses, which he put in his eyes. Now he was almost ready, just put on a black cloak and we can go. Hearing the chime sounding at the door, the sheep ... erm ... knight made his way towards the door. During the few meters Shane cursed his choice of a costume, but now it was too late to change. He only hoped that the sheep's bell sounds wasnt loud enough for Rangi to hear it. He pressed a door and saw ... an witch's cat at his very door steps! For a tiny little moment he was perplexed and confused ... {Why's there a big black cat at my door? or is it a cat's witch?} went throught his head. Only a moment later all went clear to Shane again and he said: " "Hello darling, in need for a fancy escort?" Rangi blinked at the dazzling armour plated person in front of her. "Sir Knight!" she exclaimed and beamed at Shane. "You look very...ummm...shiny" she added and laughed at his expression. "Shall we go? We mustnt be late." She clutched her hat and stepped back. Richard grabbed his flask, it was full of whisky, good plain ole whisky. For a second he considered bothering Walsh to see if he was gonna go, but then he realized that this kinda stuff just wasn't his style. Placing the flask into his back pocket he escaped his quarters and made his way towards the party. Tall dark figure moved along the deserted corridor... the hood was in his face so nothing except darkness under it could be seen. Darkens only breached by two red cracks in place where normal face would have eyes. The figure was moving in constant speed... it almost looked like it's floating. Suddenly it stopped by one door. raised a black hand and chimed the door bell. "Coming...." said female voice from inside. Shortly, the door slid open and inside the angel was standing. A beautiful ginger haired woman with a bit's of plating on her. Shiny armourplate over the white robe, which added to her paleness. Whole scene was finished with her mighty white wings and golden staff in her hands. "Ah, it's you, I'm ready, let's go..." said Alex to Terek stepping outside leaving him breathless. "You look ... gorgeous." "Thanks, you look... scary." she smiled and both of them walked tthe turbolift. A strange couple... an angel and demon... The witch and the knight walked along the corridor to the nearest turbolift, trying to ignore the funny looks they were given by crew that didnt want to be foolish enough to attend the party. A merry bell's sound came just behind Shane he just waited for his witch to comment it. Jason turned out of the door to his quarters and walked down the corridor towards the nearest turbolift trying to ignore the looks from crewmen who clearly found is amusing to see a grown man in a skin tight red devils outfit.As he reached the turbolift he stepped in "Evening" He nodded to the witch and knight and then spotted a pirate Richard stepped into the turbolift and just as he was about to order the door to close three others people in just as ridiculous costumes walked in. Standing in the back and still unaware of who these peoplle were he decided to speak, "They got free liquor at this thing right?" As they reached the turbolift and pressed the button, Alex looked at Terek. "Where did you get this? I almost didn't recognize you." In as deep voice as he was able he replied "In the underworld, my love..." she started to laugh. And in that very moment the lift stopped and door slid open. It was quite a surprise, Few other mad-house looking people was in there. "Oh good evening around... mind if we join you?" Said Terek with smile which couldn't be seen after all "Angel, watch out your wings... you'll poke someone's eye with them..." Said Terek as Alex was trying to get herself inside. Luckily noone was hurt and turbolift continued it's way. "Holy sock!" escaped from Shane's lips. "I never thought there that sort of Pokemons on this ship ... 'hope that those guys from command wont come and spoil all the fun" said Shane in a changed voice poking Rangi slightly to join in and not to reveal their identity. Richard moved back as the angel stepped inside the cramped turbolift, almost getting smacked in the face by her wings. "I dunno", Richard replied, "Command probably have their own party goin on in their private quarters...if you know what I mean", he said with a chuckle. They all squeezed in, like sardines in a tin. The door slid shut and the turbo lift moved away. Rangi pressed close to Shane avoiding the angels wings as best she could, protecting herself from the pirates sword with a warning hand and disliking the look the red eyed figure was giving her. She clutched her broomstick and wondered suddenly why Shane had included a sheeps bell in his costume and tried to peer behind him though in the crush couldnt see anything. Jason moved to the back of the lift out the way, being the new guy he decided not to get involved in the chatter guessing that everone here knew each other. If someone would see throught the walls into the cabine, a very interesting sight would be in front of his eyes. A six persons squashed in a small room, dressed like they have run from a holodeck novel. "You know Angel, I wonder how would command team will look like. What is your guess?" said Terek purposefully aloud in a deep voice so everyone could hear it, as he felt in a good mood suddenly. Alex understood his note... "Hmmm I don't know, perhaps the captain will be Achab and Doctor will go as Frankenstein's wife..." answered in a joyfull loud voice Alex. But in that moment turbolift stopped. Being interested of the ship's rumours Shane shook the pirate's cutlas a bit and asked: "Hey Capt'n Cook ... I am quite new here and I am at loss with the noble guys here, what's all the referring to fun in quarters about? Mud fight or something?" Jason felt smothered at the back, He had always hated lifts even back in his younger years and now 400 years later the lifts were still the same......cramped, Jason was about ready to scream in the back when the lift stopped and the doors opened "Oh Thank the lords" he muttered the latex of his suit begining to feel a bit too tight Following the group of people out of the lift Richard chuckled at the knights question, "Oh nothing Tin Man", he replied, "Nothing you won't find out on your own anyways". he said as he flicked the knights armour with his finger, "Do you have to take that entire thing off to go to the bathroom?". Rangis hat slipped and she sighed with impatience, pushing it back in place. She waited until the others stepped out in order to avoid the crush in the door. Outside they all stood waiting for someone else to make the first move. Jason stepped out and looked at everyone who seemed to be waiting for someone else to move first {sod it} he thought to himself and headed for the lounge doors Hawk made his way towards the lounge not really sure of his costume. The only reason he was going was because he wanted to shake some peoples perceptions up a bit. Well a pink clad klignon, should definately do the job. As he rounded the corner he ran into the devil himself, well Hawk couldnt resist. "Well hello there sailor, how are you. You look good in the tight devil outfit, are you bad." He said with the a slighlty higher pitched voice Jason looked at the man not knowing who he was, One thing was sure if he was back on earth 400 years ago the man would be sporting a black eye about now. He decided to just play along "Depends how bad you want me to be big boy" He moved through the loung doors. -=/-\=- End Log -=/-\=- (Starring, in order of appearance...)
