OTA | Holodeck and Ten Forward Lounge
The holodeck is growing on Noriko. It really is, even if there are a few uncomfortable reminders of home every time she uses it: but the ability to fool all the senses short of self-awareness into thinking she's outside, in the sun, getting muddy and tired in Earth-gravity and -atmosphere is pretty worth that. It's also exactly what she's doing right now.
One of the holodecks has her name on the Occupancy sign, with 'Obstacle Race' as the closest thing she could find to a universally understandable version of 'Spartan Challenge': she's going on about a dozen obstacles and while she hasn't filled the course in with officials or other people to motivate her, she's doing just fine. The ropes are the hardest for her, because she can't ever figure out how to balance herself for a Tyrolean Traverse without falling off and into the water before she's rung the target bell. There are other things, though: a wall jump, atlas stone laying innocently on the ground, and barbed wire strung low to the grass between stakes.
Anyone up for a race?

After all this, if you're more the 'sit back and drink' sort, or you think being non-muddy and sweaty is a necessity for conversation, she'll be in the lounge laying on one of the windowsills by the front-facing windows, looking out on the stars.
She has a bowl of chocolate-filled koala cookies (or the closest thing to it) resting on her belly and green tea in a bottle to drink. Do interrupt.
