Thanking  another   chicken strip, he  just uses   a Blue  sauce.

  I always  try to show up for the Games, when we have them...Beta , being   Angel doesn't  quite care, except for us to win?.. so i can sleeze   our of  my watch, but i'll have to pau her back, because she does like her  shore leave...and?  being an Angel she  doesn't have too much trouble  finding folks  to entertain her.

Everest  doesn't like Us..or  Athena ... Fuji  plays a clean game..Etna  doesn't like us  either..Olympus  is  real bad....They had a Sanri, i think his job was to Kill Shadow.. But Shadow  took him out..he  'died' int eh  Med tech .....They even tried to cut  down on Fans, and they thought the Hermes  wouldn't have  enough people there.. But a  section was empty, until right before  the  lineups... and  every one  here,  '351 HERMES'.. like a cadence.. Roles had  bough out a whole section, and  had his  crew fill those  seats, cheering for the Hermes..  Frans' s Father  lost his mind!

 he chuckled.....good  times... we  go back to Olympus now?..its  Designated SSN.. we  might have to flay out  invade.

With a giggle, she kissed his cheek. "Well...it is good to know that you will be there at least if I manage to even make the team. I mean...I try to keep in good shape and hopefully I can catch on quickly." She took another strip and tried the same blue sauce. "I suppose enough talk about that..." she said with a glance around the room to see how full it was. "I am tempted to say fuck it and just dance though it won't be as...clean because bouncing..."

 Arnie looked around the Room,well?  Judging by some of the new faces in this palce, I mean 'new' as they weren't Hermites  very long. You might make alot of new  friends? There
will , most certainly, be alot of COM pics  taken.

With a smile, she stood up. "Well come on then..." A big grin was on her face as she moved to a fairly empty spot on the dance floor and began to dance. The dancing was a mix of neoswing and shuffling which had more complicated footwork and had her gliding across the floor...and it also made much more sense about the comment of not the right bra.

  Arnie  sat back and watched... as did  a few other  folks, Mostly guys..

   they  egged her on cheering  certain moves  and clapping  for others. Sipping frtom his  drink  he  just nodded his ehad to the beat.

She lost herself in the music, giving in to the beat and clearly enjoying herself. When the song finished, she laughed and gave a small wave to those gathered before making her way back to Arnie. "That was fun," she grinned, picking up her soda and taking a big gulp before glancing down to make sure the 'girls' were still contained at least.

   There was a  gentle  laugh and a shake of his head,..Ok, Ensign, I think its time you headed  for your Quarters..I don't know about you officers and al.. But us Non-coms have work to do , and its  already 2:00AM

  I will gladly escort you if you wish?

"Awww...but we were having so much fun," she smiled, finally catching her breath. With a shake of her head, Billie grabbed the bottle of whiskey and the file. "I'd love for you to escort me." She gave him an almost shy look and took ahold of his hand as they headed out.

>>>>>>>>>>To the Officers' Quarters

< <<<<<<<<<<from officers   quarters after  1st day Roussa  short leave

 They walked in, the place  was on the low end of   half  full//The Music  was  Thumping, a few Civies  and  a few crew were dancing , eating, or  drinking.

 Vids  flashed on a   screen  that went with the music.well//  should be get a table...or a  standup table, or  the bar?... or just dance?

With an excited smile, Billie took him by the hand and led him to the dance floor, intent on dancing before getting something to eat and drink.

  well , I guess that answers that?  he   waved to the  vid-J and  wound his   hand to  get some  fast moving  , thumping  stuff  going.

 starting out  slow  he  worked on  some shuffle moves  as he got geared up.

----->>>>> From Officer Quarters

 Sam walked into the Pulse with Roo, she smiled as the music came at them. Sam was smiling it was a nice place but a lot of people where here tonight. Sam then said too Roo," What do you think, so dance first then drink, or drinks first?"

  the thumping of the bass   and flashing lights  , highlighted  dancers  and those  who were at   tables off to the  side, or hung out at the bar

  Serversd  in In tight  envirosuits  moved though the crowd   getting drinks  and finger foods.

< From: Officer's Quarters >

Roo stepped into the Pulse and gave it a good looking over, a huge smile lighting her face up. She had been terribly worried that being assigned to the Hermes would be nothing but duty service day in and day out, but it appeared that the brass had their heads on very nicely here, understanding that people needed downtime anyplace they went and under any circumstances. When Sam asked about dancing first or getting a drink first, Roo leaned over to talk so that she didn't have to yell, her lips almost touching Sam's ear.

"Drinks, please?" She asked the platinum blonde. "At least one, then let's go shake that dance floor up. Eh?" She grinned at her companion then turned to signal the barkeep.

"Two Largerson's, please." She asked, hoping that Sam wouldn't mind her ordering for both of them the first time up. Of course... Sam would have the pleasure of ordering the second go around if she wanted. Roo enjoyed the Largenson cocktail, the green liquid had a bit of an out-of-this-world taste, and the fact it was named after someone famous, in honor of their achievements, made it all the better.

 Sam smiled and they headed over to the bar to get drinks before they danced. Sam replied," That sounds great lets get a drink, then we can dance." Sam was happy and getting into the music, she was a little uneasy she still isnt use too crowds.

 Then Roo ordered a drink for her, Sam replied with a huge smile," Thank you Roo I will get the next round." Sam liked Roo and decided just to have fun and see where things led too after that.

 Sam took her drink and held it up too Roo, then Sam said," To a new friendship and welcome to the Hermes."

Roo clinked glasses with Sam and enjoyed some small talk for a bit at the bar. When her drink was finished she grabbed Sam by the hand and lead her out onto the dance floor.

"Let's see what you got, Blondie." She giggled at Sam, her head already buzzing slightly after the one drink. Hey, it had been a while for her! Roo started gyrating to the bass, the music so loud it was nearly impossible to talk over it. She slowly circled around Sam, keeping the other woman in sight. That sundress was a very nice sight to see, along with the figure under it.

"SO... SAM.... YOU GOT A... ahhhh.... SIGNIFICANT OTHER?" Roo said, speaking loudly to get her voice lifted over the music.

 Sam drank her drink and talked with Roo, she liked her a lot and she was a lot of fun so far.  Then Roo grabbed her and she pulled her onto the dance floor.

 Sam giggled back and replied," Well I have a really good friend that I sleep with. So I guess NO THEN!" She yells at Roo.

 Sam was not a great dancer but she gave it her all, she was a much better singer than dancer.

 Raven and   red Water  were on the Dance Floor, though  red Water appeared to be ;older" he was moving as good  as  most folks out there.

   Shoey came in with Sims and Mann, they looked over  the  folks   in the building, and moved  to the bar to get a  drink.

  The Everest and Heimdal  transfers ( what was left of them) were   sitting toegther, while a few of them danced.

Zob was hanging out on the far corner of the bar that was a bit dimly lit he had a beer and a smokewood cigar the pulse was one of the only places he could have a smoke. "Bartender put those ladies drinks on my tab... and a round on me for everyone else in here" he said referring to Roo and Sam sitting off to the far side of the bar then let himself get scanned for the drinks.

  The   fellow  at the Bart, a Civi, nodded to  Zob,.. Yessir.... he rang a beg....

  <Brown> One  Ropund on the SGT!... Get your hand stamped  when you get your drink!.</Brown

  People Cheered, Those  at the  bar  down thier  drink and  were set up for another  as  a  woman stambed thier hands   with a   lime  green  'P"

Roo was happy right here, right now. The Pulse was having the desired effect upon her, the need to bust loose and raise some hell had been full upon her for the last month during classes. But here, with Sam, all the trials and cramming sessions melted away easily.

So, feeling good and comfortably numb after that loaded drink, Roo slipped up behind Sam on the dance floor, wrapping a slim arm around the other girl's waist, her hand pressed up tight against that flat tummy. She pulled Sam into her until she could feel heat off of that yummy looking butt of hers against Roo's front. Roo didn't clamp her tight, she left just enough room for Sam to bail if she needed to, if it happened Roo would totally understand. But from where she came from... when the right moods and moments came along you just didn't waste any chances.

With Sam in a standing spoon position, Roo twisted her own hips to the left and then the right in unison to the beat of the music, letting it all carry her away, moving Sam's hips with her own. When the shout went up for a free round, Roo slowed down to let Sam make the decision on whether to go get another drink or not.

 Sam was having a great time, then she let her voice ring out. Sam had a beautiful natural singing voice, as she sung along to the songs.

 Then as they danced Roo slipped up behind her and wrapped her arms around Sam. Sam decided to live life too the fullest even Steve would say have fun and do what feels right, and right now with Roo Sam felt something special and right. Sam moved closer to Roo and rubbed up against Roo's front. Sam gave into her mood as well and just had fun and enjoyed Roo's dancing and touches.

 Sam twisted with Roo's hips and really enjoyed dancing with Roo. Then Sgt Zob was buying everyone a round and she felt Roo slow down and Sam could use another drink right now. Sam smiled and yelled ," LET'S GET A DRINK ON SGT. ZOB."  Sam then grabbed Roo's hand and they headed for the bar to order their next round. When they get to the bar and orders two Burian Fires. Sam smiles at Zob as they got to the bar.

Roo followed Sam to the bar, her eyes glued to that lovely ass sashaying back and forth in front of her vision. When they reached their destination Roo reluctantly let Sam's hand go as she ordered their second round of drinks. Her own palms were near-instantly sweaty as sudden feelings of lust coursed through her body, and she found she wanted to develop this new friendship much deeper.

'Seargent Zob. Seargent Zob.' Through the mild case of alcohol numbness she was venturing into, Roo's brain went into paramedic mode at the mention of that name. She knew virtually nobody here, but she had researched everyone stationed upon the Hermes... as a medical professional it was her duty to know how to serve anyone on board the vessel, human or otherwise. Seargent Zob had stuck in her mind for the fact that he was of demon ancestry. She had seen his pictures on her datapads, and even with the fuzziness she thought she might be able to pick him out in the bar, so she started to look around.

And it took her all of one millisecond to see him towering above everyone in the bar area. "Holy shit!" But that guy was big! She shied behind Sam, peeking around her as she tried to nonchalantly study the orange-skinned, black-haired demon. Intimidating was the first thing that came to mind... followed by a blush on her cheeks as her newly booze freed mind started wondering if 'everything' about him was supersized.

"Sam, Sam.... " She stumbled through her words a little bit. "Can we go say thank you to the Seargent?"

 Sam smiled at Roo and Sam was having a great time. Sam replied," Yes a lot of people say that when they see Zob for the first time, I actually had a flashback of my whipping when I first saw him."

 Then Roo asked if they could go over and talk with Zob, Sam replied," Oh sure we can do that, come on Roo." Sam was all in on the fun and was having a great time. She then took her Burian Fire drink and walked over to Zob. Sam then smiled and said," Hello Sgt Zob thank you for buying the house a round, this is Roo she is a new Combat Medic just joined the Hermes today."

"Sarge." Roo gave him a laid-back, somewhat tipsy salute. "Yes, yes, thank you for the drink, and pleased to meet you." She eyed the big man... demon... up and down. He was definitely one of the tallest... uhhh... sentient creatures she had ever met in person. Although Meari, who she had just met earlier in the day, was awfully close to his size, Sgt. Zob was definitely thicker.

She took a drink of the Bruian Fire and almost choked on it. "Ohhh Sam, that burns... that burns soooo good."
