[Ten Forward]: Halloween Plot (sneaking this in belatedly)! OTA
This will not go down in the books as one of Steve's favorite weekends ever.
The costume has been humiliating enough, meeting people from his world, his future, while in said costume would be the cherry on top of the rotten sundae. Or you would think, anyway. But putting a soldier whose metabolism burns four times faster than normal on a candy-only diet for a few days, and you've got a recipe for one miserable man.
And -- because of course there's more -- that candy is apparently booby trapped. Steve thought the war was over. Just tell that to his hair, which is currently a limp shade of green -- and not a nice green, but a sad, tarnished penny green. It just adds to the lackluster expression on his face as he sits off in the darkest corner he can find, concentrating on keeping his knees together.
He doesn't think he's given women enough credit over the years. This is a lot harder than it looks.
--------
Once he's had plenty of time to brood, he decides no good ever comes from hanging back or hiding. He's heard about there being missions to find replicators that will produce real food somewhere on the ship, and he's interested in what the result of those missions has been. He can't be the only one on this boat who needs a square meal.
"Has anyone located a working replicator yet?" he calls to the room. "Or any food stores we can tap into?"
[ooc: The bit after the linebreak is for Dylan Hunt in particular, but consider either scenario OTA for any character! Steve's dressed as a USO girl, and my but don't those pumps make his legs look shapely? Powers and personality remain the same, save for the colored hair. :)]

no subject
"Captain," he nods when Dylan approaches, the picture of professional esteem for about half a second. "I know. I look ridiculous."
He can admit it. The naval uniform actually sits well on Dylan; if it wasn't for the blue hair, Steve would even think of him as looking distinguished. He shifts a little uncomfortably, and clears his throat. "How can I help? I think you know better than anyone else that there are some people on this ship who, if they don't get some real food, aren't going to do too well."
Himself included among them.
