=/\= Kinsi =/\= Athena sat in one of the crowded restaurants and watched the bustling activity going on around her. She smiled at the gentleman who spit his peas back out at the waitress. She felt sorry for the waitress when she broke out in tears. It was strange how one feeling seemed to be coming from everyone. It was as though every person she ran across was totally consumed with one emotion. Normally there was an emotion that seemed to be over shadowing others but this was different. Athena was being to wonder if it was some kind of test. {I could study some minds, but that's against the rules.} She watched as a waiter sat a chocolate sundae in front of a crying lady. Athena focused on the sundae and her stomach began to growl. She licked her lips and watched as the lady continued to cry. The waiter return to the crying lady's table and offered to take the sundae away. The lady just shook her head no and cried all the harder. Athena doubted if the lady could see anything any more. Athena looked to another part of the room and couldn't help but notice some guy hanging from the light fixture above one of the tables. She turned her head and looked at the man as he began to swing back and forth. She watched as he let go with one hand and ripped off his shirt. {Odd.} She looked back and saw that the crying lady still hadn't touched the chocolate sundae. Athena heard a scream coming from somewhere near the back of the restaurant; but she shook her head and ignored the rush of commotion that followed it. She closed her eyes as they fell upon the guy hanging from the light fixture when she realized he was down to his underwear and trying to stay out of the reach of a security person. She looked back to the chocolate sundae and the crying lady. {She won't notice.} Athena held her hands out and concentrated on the object of her desire. The sweet concoction on the other table slide a couple of inches across the table in her direction. She smiled and bit her bottom lip in concentration. The dish slide a couple more inches closer to the edge of the table. The waiter ran between the two tables and shoved the dish closer to the center of the table on his way to check on a different one. Athena sighed and concentrated even harder. The cool dish with the creamy concoction slide off the table and began to drop toward the floor. Athena wiggled her fingers and willed and wished the dish into her hands. A few minutes later she took her first bite of the chocolate and ice cream. She smiled as she continued to eat the sundae. Athena watched as the security person finally got the nearly naked man off the light fixture and was escorting him from the restaurant. Some lady was being taken away to the infirmary by someone clad in teal. {Wonder if she was the screamer.} Athena heard the woman mumbling something about sacrabs scurrying about on her salad. {I don't think I'd like those Trellion spidery like things with my lunch either.} As Athena finished the sundae she stood up depositing the empty dish on the crying lady's table. "Ma'am, have you ever thought about talking to someone," Athena said to the crying woman before she skipped away. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt. Athena Wellington Counselor USS Chimera
