[Ten Forward]: Rooming Assignments | Round #4

[ten_fwd_npcs]

There had been many things Lieutenant Worf envisioned for himself upon his promotion to Chief of Security. Herding humanoid interlopers into organized groups and assigning them permanent residence aboard the Enterprise was, to say the least, not among them. After regrouping from their time at Alemar III, Dr. Crusher's medical team has cleared a number of new visitors for ship-wide access, which means it falls upon Worf's shoulders to assign them quarters and instruct them on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. He has gathered everyone in Ten Forward to impart this vital information.

As he has done this before, he has a speech prepared:

"The computer will instruct you on where all cleared-for-access decks are. You only have to ask where the area you are trying to get to is located, and it will give you clear directions. Do not visit any restricted areas. The bridge, engine rooms, transporter rooms, and all command centers are off-limits.

"With that in mind, there are a few rules you must obey before I give you your new assignments. One, do not discharge any weapon while on the Enterprise. Two, do not assault any other passenger aboard in any way; that includes injury, death, or violating their personal rights. Three, do not tamper with the operational procedures of the ship. Four, do not steal items or technology from the ship. Five, do not interrupt any official areas of the ship without proper authorization, and do not invade the privacy of other guest or crew quarters.

"Copies of the Prime Directive will be made available to all of you, and placed in each room. As you are not Starfleet officers, you are not obligated to abide by this rule; however, it is important you understand why we do.

"Now, the rooms," he rumbles, reading off the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them.

[ooc: Open log for building CR with new roommates and meeting neighbors, "party post" style! Rooms are aligned the way they would be in a typical hotel: odd numbers on the left, even numbers on the right (so 0711 and 0713 will be next door neighbors, while 0712 is directly across the hall). There is a post in the OOC comm where players can connect with questions, and where we'll post more details about the rooms themselves, so check in over there. If you need to ask security questions, or need them to swing by another thread, just put "Security officer, please!" in the subject line of your tag, and the mods will send someone to you ASAP.]

Comments

Room # 0721 - Lady Marian and Stahma Tarr

[queenofmay]

Marian is still at a loss for what exactly happened to her last roommate. Even if they hadn't gotten to know each other too well, there's some concern there for what had become of the young miss Darcy. But her name is there in the new list, with a new roommate and so she supposes this is all going to start over again now.

Which leaves her standing in the area, wondering who this next person will be and if they'll stay any longer.

[shanjifyo]

"Excuse me?"

It's a woman's voice, clear without being forceful; when Marian looks, she'll see the speaker, a tall lady with white skin and a white dress, with what looks like a woven white veil covering her long white hair. She's rather obviously not human, but perhaps she isn't so entirely alien, either.

"I spoke with the security officer — he told me you're Lady Marian." She smiles, with all the practiced charm she can summon up, and bows her head politely. "I am Stahma Tarr. I understand we're to be sharing a room."

It's not an ideal circumstance, as if anything about being on this ship is ideal. Stahma has never shared living space with anyone who isn't her family or in their service — her parents, first, then Datak and, eventually, Alak. She isn't quite sure which is more unsettling: being allotted temporary quarters, or being assigned to live with a stranger.

Yet her thoughts don't show on her face; she remains unerringly polite, demure. Harmless as can be. The facade is like wearing a second skin by now.

Room # 0724 - Todd the Wraith and Aeryn Sun

[do_your_duty]

Todd the Wraith. Todd, the Wraith. Todd. The Wraith.


Aeryn stared at her name. The moniker before it. The milling crowd.

Debating already the likelihood she'd rather take another cave in than another person.

Re: Room # 0724 - Todd the Wraith and Aeryn Sun

[theycallmetodd]

He should have known it was a mistake to give anyone that particular name. It had been done on an impulse, really; a sudden bout of wry humor when they asked him his name. Wraiths' names were not so simple and were hard to sum up into something that would make sense to other species. Still, they needed something to call him by, so he had ended up giving them that blasted nickname Colonel Sheppard had bestowed upon him once upon a time. And now it appeared that he was stuck with it.

Being given living quarters was a good thing. That he would be sharing them with someone else was not ideal, but it would still be a door to close behind him, somewhere to be left in peace. Somewhere to go, to get some rest and privacy did mean a lot.

Stepping through the door, he found that what he assumed would be the shared living area was already occupied by a woman. "Aeryn Sun, I presume?"

threadjacking

[ltcolonel]

John's seen the name, and he's pretty much stalked Todd through the crowds until he can corner him alone. He draws his weapon and levels it at Todd's chest. "I don't know what you are playing at." He knows Todd isn't here by choice, he's in the same boat as everyone else.

"There are people here who have no idea what Wraith are like."

When Todd isn't in the room

[ltcolonel]

John takes a cursory glance down the new list of people, noting the names he doesn't know. It's all going swimmingly until he sees Todd's name on the list and he draws in a sharp breath. This is really not good. Who the hell thought it would be safe to room a wraith with anyone? He should be kept in air lock.

He barges into the room when Aeryn is alone without so much as knocking.

"You need to get out of here now."

Room # 0752 - Leonard McCoy and Neal Cassidy

[kepthimhuman]

He hasn't lived with another person in a very long time, if that situation could even be called "living with." He's a little unsure of it, but this isn't the first time he's had to adapt to a new situation.

He makes his way to his new living quarters to get settled in.

Lt Worf | Room 0754 Open

[didnotwant]

Worf

Marion is surprised that Trance managed to swing her having a private room. She isn't going to comment on that. Worf probably had a hand in this given he is the Chief of Security. She figures given that he is the one doing this song and dance that he must play a fairly big role when it comes to rooms.

"Lieutenant?" Marion smiles looking relaxed compared to when Marion first appeared on the ship. "I was wondering if I could have just a moment of your time."

She wants her sword back now that things are more settled. She would like to keep training.

Room 0754 - OPEN

Marion stops outside her door. Having an actual room isn't so bad. She just has to admit that this is a little different for her. She had lived out of her car or hotel rooms for a long time.

"Well I did say this was like a vacation," Marion says out loud. She glances up and down the hallway. Looks to her like everyone is getting settled in.

"Just not the one I wanted."

She rubs her forehead trying to figure out where she should go from here.

[ten_fwd_npcs]

"Yes?" Worf addresses her in his typical brusque manner, though he notes the changes in her demeanor.

It is good that she is relaxed. It leaves less opportunity for any ... mishaps.

[didnotwant]

Yeah. She knows that too which is why she was going for relaxed. She is aware of the fact that she could be viewed as a lose canon by Worf since he doesn't know how good her control is.

Still, she wants her sword back. "I've started to make arrangements with the medical staff for... my condition."

Of course she wasn't about to say what it was with so many people milling about. "I was wondering if I could have my sword back. I'd like to get to train since... frankly, training helps."

Room # 0714 - Jack Twist and Avatar Wan

[raavashing]

Wan was not used to the whole being assigned a room thing. And while he didn't want to be rude and object to a gift, he felt a little like he was being put in a very fancy jail. A bit more grumpy than he probably had a right to be, he entered the assigned room and started exploring it.

Room # 0733 - James Kirk and Peggy Carter | Open

[therightpartner]

James Kirk. It wasn't a name that she recognized. But then she hadn't been aboard the ship long enough to really get to know many of the people aboard. The idea of co-ed rooms was a bit odd to her after the military's careful attempts at keeping male and female soldiers separate but she was certain that things would go smoothly.

Waiting outside her room, she looked around at the other newcomers, seeing who might be her new neighbors.

[star_born]

A roommate. Just another reminder that this wasn't his ship, that he wasn't the captain. From that stand point it was frustrating. But, he was a social creature, and he had done the dorm thing before, he could handle it again. But it certainly hadn't been with a woman. Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Not that he had anything against a woman roommate. Hell, he loved women. That. That was kind of the problem.

And as he paused in the hallway to see the pretty girl standing outside his room, he definitely decided this could be a problem. Or a lot of fun.

Well then.

He finished walking the distance to their shared room, and gave her a smile with all of the Kirk charm and held out his hand. "You must be Carter."

[therightpartner]

With the milling group, it took her a moment to realize the person moving toward the door was her new roommate. Briefly, she missed her uniform and the courtesy that it had usually earned her. But she had been without it for over a year and had adapted.

Whoever Kirk was, he couldn't be worse than the men she'd worked with in Flynn's office.

No sense of that condescending nature or any trace of superiority that she had gritted her teeth and accepted during the past year. That seemed to be something she had left behind when she'd stepped off the office lift.

There was a hint of the sort of charm that Stark had used on her but that was something Peggy was rather used to. Taking his hand, she smiled as she arched an eyebrow in amusement. "And you must be Kirk. A pleasure to meet you."

Room #0726 - Philip and Rory Williams

[decideformyself]

Philip's first reaction to being told he was being reassigned roommates is: What happened to Clint Barton? With everything that's happened lately, he actually hasn't really noticed that his roommate is gone. Well, now he knows.

Though he has to wonder what happened to him.

He's waiting in the living area by the time his new roommate arrives. He grins and waves to him. "Good morning, Rory Williams."

[rorypond]

Rory steps into the new room, admittedly a bit dismayed that he won't be rooming with his wife (which, come on, who could blame him?) but relieved in any case that he hasn't been paired off with another complete stranger. (Rory thinks he wants to lay low for a bit, after Alemar III.)

He knows Philip well enough, having been through a couple of adventures with him and his partner now. It'll be fine. Good, even.

"Ah, hello," he returns. "Did you lose your first roommate too?"

[decideformyself]

"Unfortunately," he replies. He actually looks worried, now that Rory's brought it up. "I wonder if some harm befell him on Alemar III... I haven't heard anything of the sort, though."

#0719 Ahim de Famille and John Kennex

[princess_flintlock]

So she had a roommate? It would be interesting to share space with someone new, but she was sure they would get along just fine.

She let herself in, and made her way over to the replicator to request some loose-leaf tea and the relevant supplies for making it. The tea set she requested was quite cute, gold rimmed pink cups with little flowers on them. It seemed to be a fine way of getting to know her new roommate, anyway.

She smiled up at him when he came in. "How do you do? It's a pleasure to meet you."

[likeavirtue]

Kennex had been milling around the Ten Forward space for a bit, catching a drink, observing the flurry of roommates trying to sort themselves into pairs with awkward handshakes and equally awkward conversation.

He knows he's got one of them too - roommates, that is - but he's not sure what to expect and he's deliberately choosing not to care. He hasn't had a roommate in a long time, just one backstabbing girlfriend who came over a lot, and the delivery guy who brings him sushi and fried noodles.

So when he enters their shared room and sheds himself of his jacket, slinging it over one of the empty chairs, he's of the mind to be business-like about the whole affair.

He doesn't expect tea and a smile.

Or a girl.

He's going to be rooming with a girl.

Greeeeeeeat.

"Uh. Hi."

[princess_flintlock]

She stood up when he made his way in. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ahim de Famille." She paid him a curtsy. When she stood up straight again, she clasped her hands together demurely at her waist. "You must be Mr. Kennex, correct?"

Some girls like Ahim might be worried about sharing living space with a guy like this. Ahim was not some girls.

Room # 0711 - Trance Gemini and Billy Cranston

[morphitudinous]

In the chaos of that last battle's aftermath, it had taken Billy slightly longer than it normally would to notice that Ian was gone. He regretted losing a friendly voice, and he worried endlessly about where he would have gone, but he couldn't deny that the few days of privacy had been helpful. No one needed to be subjected to his fretting all night long.

Fortunately for Ms. Trance, Billy was now stable enough to be a fairly sedate roommate. He arrived with a small bag of the objects he'd managed to coax out of the replicator, metal clinking together as he walked. Once there, he hesitated a bit before knocking.

"Hello. I've been assigned to your room, if that's all right?"

Re: Room # 0711 - Trance Gemini and Billy Cranston

[heartofasun]

A figure popped out and bounded toward Billy. Hopefully he'd seen her before. She was hard to miss. Tight leather. Golden, orange skin that glittered. Horns that curled back toward her head like a ram.

"Of course." Trance didn't have many items. A few plants here and there, but the room looked empty.

"I'm Trance. You must be Billy?" If he wasn't Billy they were both in trouble.

Room # 0737 - Jadzia Dax and Ashley Hammond

[ex_old_man857]

A roommate. It still makes her lips twitch in amusement at the thought. No doubt there are some aboard DS9 that would rather bunk with a Cardassian than with Jadzia. It isn't that she is a bad roommate, but she is Dax. She has quirky habits that she sticks to on a daily basis and likes to keep busy, but she also likes to be social.

She doesn't say anything to Worf, merely gives a smile and a nod. He looks younger, or perhaps that is just her thinking, and it's not like he knows her, and so she shouldn't be doing anything that will get her a swat on the wrist, or worst.

Jadzia finds herself looking about the quarters. Sparse. A pity that Q couldn't have brought some of her things...

Room # 0731 - Waco Kid and Bucky Barnes

[bestpal]

Bucky's room is immaculate. Even though his original room mate has left, his belongings have not spread to the other side of the room. Even the bed is made with military precision. If he had been asked, he would have wanted to room alone. He's used to the quiet.

But he accepts the inevitable and his cool blue eyes are trained on the door waiting, ready to assess the new arrival.

Re: Room # 0731 - Waco Kid and Bucky Barnes

[waco_jim]

He'll smell him before he sees him - a whiskey draft blowing through the door with a whiff of gunpowder behind it. Jim ducks his head in first, craning his neck as though searching for someone. He seems startled when he actually finds him.

"Oh, hello there."
