For Thea Queen her days had started to regain a sense of routine. From classes by day to time with Oliver and Felicity to napping (mostly to make up for the sleep she's lost) to playing with and tending to the Arrow kittens. But if she was being honest it was after classes she looked forward to because she and Matt would spend time together. After everything that had happened when she was hit by super senses it was like their bond had only gotten stronger, so cue the afternoons spent with cups of tea and just talking (with plenty of snuggles mixed in depending on who was having the worse day).

So today Thea was outside Matt and Henry's quarters as she made the call to let him know she was outside,"Did anyone call for a double Canadian Bacon pizza with a side of wings?" along with knowing he could pick up on her cherry blossom perfume. But in the haze of her mood she did not notice the lights flicker in the hallway outside...

As fast as she had been slammed Thea had lost the super senses just as quickly.

But in a way she needed that period of living a nightmare to understand just how hard it was to be Matt and she understood that now (thankfully there had been some good to come out of her week of misery like her growing bond with Matt along with an unreal kiss, she was simply staying hopeful when it came to the romantic side of things). But now came the hard part: recovery after almost a week plus in hiding so she was taking baby steps back into life. That and having slept on and off (nightmares and other ongoing problems not withstanding) for the last couple of days in an attempt at getting some balance back. The battle with food and sleep however was still an ongoing one.

Today however Thea was huddled in a back Ten Forward booth since she knew if another dozing off happened (and it was going to knowing her luck) then being hidden would at least let her catch a nap with a little privacy. But in reality she was just sitting there, staring at the now dreaded protein shake and trying to will herself to just chug it.

Please come get her mind off just how bad the shakes really taste?

Oliver missed being able to train. His mind was stagnating without something to keep it busy. Still rules were rules and Oliver was currently choking down yet another one of his daily protein shakes. He sighed as he sipped it. Then something changed and he wasn't in Ten Forward anymore. Technicolor images raced thought his head, smells and sounds scream at him. He wants to help, but when he reaches out his hands they pass right through the people and the places he's experiencing.

It feels like the vision or whatever this was went on for ever and ever, but it was actually only a few moments and Oliver found himself on the floor of the lounge PADD held tightly in one hand. "What the hell was that," he whispered horsely.

(Pre dated to later this week to allow for more time to play this out, partial plotlocks to Matt Murdock, Merlin, Paige Halliwell and Team Arrow, also possible CW for ongoing mental health issues with Thea)

It had been easy enough to laugh off skipping dinner the first time. The second time had been passed off as a badly timed snack. But in reality Thea knew something was wrong when she somehow picked up on 3 crying babies, 2 lovers spats (both minor), 2 couples making out (among other things) and everything smell wise from cat food to dirty diapers. What sealed it was knowing every item in the shake she had attempted to choke down (and knew just how awful they really tasted) along with hitting bulls eyes on every shot she took during a testing of her rig.

By mid week however Thea was dancing on the edge of losing it mentally. She had given up on clothes (beyond yoga pants, a tank and her motorcycle jacket) thanks to feeling like she would be skinned alive by fabrics. Sleep had also gone out the window along with eating anything beyond tea and water (since nothing in those could shock her screwed up senses anymore than they already were).

The super hearing was the worst part so far and she only wanted a chance to breath. So she dove into a turbolift (thankfully empty) and cracked like a pane of glass. "How does Matt handle all this 24/7?" she whimpered. But after 3 more crying babies, 2 more diapers and what she was sure was a blotched tuna salad she bursts into tears. But she did get out a tiny plea for help.

(Plotlocked to Matt Murdock)

Compared to just days ago Thea was feeling rather hopeful as she stuffed the basket for her beachfront picnic. Matt had mentioned not being a fan of super strong smells or onions so she planned the food with that in mind: cold fried chicken, a super simple (and beach friendly) salad, fruit, brownies and s'mores (she had been given the idea while looking up food the night before by a passerby) along with bottles of flavored water. So before heading planetside she sent Matt a message of where she would be located on the beach along with a note to simply track her cherry blossom perfume if all else fails. She also left a message for Oliver and Felicity if they needed to locate her as well.

Once planetside Thea snagged a perch under an umbrella and went to work setting things up. "Just breath, its just a fun picnic with someone who has become a friend. Have faith in the process." she whispered under her breath.

On Valentine's Day, one can enter a lounge on a spaceship docked outside a beautiful blue jewel of a planet (which can clearly be seen out the windows), and see that it's been made over with candles and linen tablecloths and red rose centrepieces. It's not anything as grand as Q would do. Amy is using the romance of the room: the windows looking out on Pacifica, soft lighting, and like last year she's even managed to find a trio to play music in one corner of the room: flute, cello, and violin.

Walking in, there's a sign:

♥ BLIND DATING TONIGHT, 19:00* ♥
Party to follow at 23:00*!

A ginger beauty in a red dress is standing by with a sheet of those name tags you stick on your shirt that say HELLO MY NAME IS ______ and a clipboard of seat assignments. Not all the tables are taken (the woman in charge, Guinan, insisted the room stay open for other patrons), so those meant for the blind dates have numbers tucked in the centrepieces. Amy's taken mostly tables around the outside of the room, where there is the best view of space and a little privacy.

Table 1 - Luna Lovegood & Noriko Ashida
Table 2 - Ed & Alex Rogan
Table 3 - Kale McCallum & The (10th) Doctor
Table 4 - Trever McCallum & Ishka
Table 5 - Olan'atar & T'Pol
Table 6 - General Chang & Aeryn Sun
Table 7 - Marion Scotts & Thor Odinson
Table 8 - The (12th) Doctor & Aidan Nichols
Table 9 - Islington & Merlin
Table 10 - Deanna Troi & DJ
Table 11 - Kristen Kringle & Booker DeWitt
Table 12 - Jacqueline "Jackal" Egret & Dimo
Table 13 - Bob Fraser & Cridhe
Table 14 - Grainne O'Brian & Harry Dresden
Table 15 - Thea Queen & Kitt

If your name is on her list, you'll get a name tag and a little card with your table number on it. "Here you go. The bar's open while you wait, I bribed Guinan t' have out the real stuff, so you can tell her I sent you. No gettin' carried away, though. And no funny business, you treat your date with respect or I'll have you by the ear before night's out. I'll be 'round if you need anything."

Once everyone's been checked off her list, she's going to settle at the bar and have a drink. Match-making's hard business, but each time she does it she gets a little sense of satisfaction. Once the dates are over for the evening, she's looking forward to kicking off her heels and turning this place into a dance party.

* That's 7PM and 11PM respectively!

and_she_waited

It's hard for her to believe that Rory has been gone a whole year now. Her Raggedy Man has finally come, and she thought once that had happened Rory would be back, but no such luck yet. She's been keeping a close eye on her Doctor for fear he disappears on her, too.

On the contrary, more of him keep showing up.

Christmas set her in a mood. She wants to do something for the Doctors; a dinner party or fancy dress, maybe. He likes that. In all the time she's travelled in the TARDIS it's never felt lonely, but out here she misses her family and her husband, and the Doctor is all she really has. Even her daft flatmate has gone missing. Without her permission, to add insult.

So, it's distraction that puts her in Ten Forward tonight, for the most part. That and she's been down to the planet they're currently at, and seeing all the happy faces and peaceful couples set her in another mood. A mood to meddle. Annie's gone and gotten herself married, which means Amy is in the market for somebody new to give her the good gossip.

♥ Amy Pond's Blind Dating Service ♥

She's got a sign on her table, and another two on the doors going in and out of the lounge with her table number written on it. Currently she's sitting with her legs crossed, doodling flowers and little tornadoes in the margins of her clipboard paper, waiting for her first unsuspecting ~~victim~~ client.

[OOC: ETA a top-level specifically for the IC sign-up sheet. If you want to establish IC your character signing up without threading with Amy you can post them in on this top-level, or leave it OTA so others can tag you with reactions, questions, comments, etc!]

Much like it has for other weddings and parties, the lounge has been transformed. The tables have been rearranged to open up a dance-floor, and the decorations are done in turquoise and white, with nets draped over various corners and hanging down from the ceiling and gold and silver accents here and there. There are also touches of whimsy, like the lights shaped in the form of sails (or is it shark fins?) and the little shells and plaster starfish, crabs, dolphins scattered around the place. Maybe even the occasional tiny boat. Nobody who knows Panem could doubt which District the bridal pair come from.

Although District Four wedding traditions call for a small gathering of family and friends, Annie and Finnick have opened the party up to whomever wants to join in, no matter if they know them or not. Announcements have been made and posted, and once the guests have returned from the reception, the party is ready to start.

Everyone's welcome. There's drinks and a buffet full of snack food chosen by the bride. And the dance floor is well and truly open. So come in, find a chair, find some friends or make new ones, and enjoy yourself.

[ OOC: PARTY POST. Everyone is welcome! Come, mingle, eat, dance, drink, have FUN! Feel free to chat to the happy couple, but they're a tiny bit lost in each other at the moment, so make sure you specify if you want one of them and we'll send them to say hi!

There are designated sub-threads for mingling at the buffet and for dancing but feel free to start your own top-levels with other things too. ]

(Plotlocked: Oliver Queen)

Thea could not explain it but simply being off the ship was doing her some good mentally speaking. Was it actual sunlight or was it something else? No matter but she decided to just embrace it, maybe she was getting better after all?

So today she was on the beach when an idea hit, she leaned over to where her brother's towel was and made the suggestion. "We should go surfing or even wind surfing. Can't explain it but maybe getting off the ship is helping on some level and I'm wanting to embrace it somehow." she confessed.

(Plotlocked: Matt Murdock)

Once back onboard however Thea was on a mission: she was going to ask Matt on an actual (ok maybe more of an unofficial) date. Her idea was simple: she figured a picnic would be low key given him being somewhat new and a perfect way for them to talk and get to know each other better without certain things in the way (like her random dozing off). But she had tracked him down and waited for him to spot her first, this time she was in a much lighter place mentally and it showed. "Now to ask before I lose my nerve." she decided.

(OTA)

This was the happiest Thea had been in weeks.

She could not explain any of it but it was like things were making actual sense and it had been at least two days since any random dozing off in public or near bursts into tears. It was like something had dulled her inner pain but it was not what her old self would have done. "No matter, maybe its a good thing so going to embrace it while it lasts." not knowing the cause of her mood swing. So for now she was on the beach people watching and trying to decide what today's new sport would be (wearing board shorts and a bikini top). So feel free to chat her up!

[Locked to Thea]
Felicity had been quietly watching both Oliver and Thea for quite awhile, not saying much but making her presence known all the same. Over the last few months they had been living together she noticed some things about Thea. She needed hugs like nobody's business and she needed some sort of constant in her life.

Right now, Felicity figured it was her and Oliver. She waited until Oliver was out of the room before approaching Thea's room. She knocked on the door twice, and then proceeded to push open the door.

"Hey, how about we do something fun... just us.... no icky boys," She asked with a grin.

[Locked to Oliver]

Felicity was kind of going a tad bit stir crazy on the ship. The jaunt to Pacifica had been wonderful, and she had come back feeling ridiculously happy about life with Oliver and the Enterprise in General. She was bound and determined that she was going to have a date night with her boyfriend, especially because of the month.

She strolled into their shared room. She raised an eyebrow at the cuddling kitties. "You and I need some time together.... just us. You have 3 choices.... Venice, Aspen, or the beach?"

redarrowqueen

Thea had only planned on a cup of tea to settle her still churning stomach but the second she slipped into a back booth she promptly fell asleep. Sleep was still a battle (along with food but she was trying) even all these weeks post coming clean to Oliver and Felicity just how bad things had gotten mentally. So she was dozing off at random moments from the turbolift to various Ten Forward booths to even a very unplanned crashing in the arboretum (that one was not easy to explain). At least this time around a little kitten named Kit Kat was not in her coat pocket, the kitten having become a tiny bad girl with claws when it came to her young human needing her sleep.

But two clues were there that someone had dozed off (thankfully not snoring): the whiff of cherry blossom perfume and bloodshot red eyes.

Ezri sipped a mug of hot chocolate, spiced enough to satisfy Jadzia and Curzon without completely killing her own taste buds. Balance. She was working on it--and considering she had stopped counseling until she felt she was more in balance, that was probably a good thing. How could she help people when she couldn't help herself? She was more screwed up than most of them. Those weren't exactly wonderful qualifications in a counselor.

In order to figure out who she was, Ezri needed to re-evaulate her life, and make sure the choices she had made are still choices she would make now, as Ezri Dax. Easier said than done.

"What am I doing? Talking to myself obviously, great sign of sanity."

(Plotlocked to Oliver Queen)

Thea quickly realized something: Christmas was looming and the way the last 3 have gone (from battles to near deaths) she was basically dreading it. Add in the month of nightmares (among other things) and she was ready to just ignore the whole charade. "But I can't. Because if this is scaring me then it has to be just as bad for him" she whispered under her breath as she tapped out a quick message via PADD to Oliver to meet her in Ten Forward for sibling time given everything going on. "Cue fighting back via the bonds of family." she realized, she and Oliver having become more protective of each other in the weeks since nightmare month. But after a quick stop to feed and love on the kittens and get her coat (since she was still regaining the weight she lost) Thea was in the lounge with one eye open for her brother (and making sure her red coat could be spotted) before zoning out once again.

But her eyes spoke more than words could.

Matt stood at Ben Urich's grave trying to feel anything, but rage. First Elena and now Ben had gotten caught in the web of Wilson Fisk and suffered for it. He wanted to go after Fisk right at this moment and rip the man apart for everything he'd done, but that had gone so well the last time that Matt was still healing from the wounds he'd gotten from that clash. It didn't stop Matt from wanting to kill in the name of those he lost and his fists clench inside his gloves even as Karen walks up to comfort him. He doesn't feel her gentle hand on his arm and doesn't react when she steps close.

He doesn't want comfort right now, he wants justice. Comfort feels like nothing, but empty words and empty gestures. Justice though is hot and fast and would settle his mind and save his city. He's ready to go and burn down everything Fisk has ever made before Fisk can get his fingers in more of Hell's Kitchen's pies. He turns to head back to the office and that's when everything changes.

Suddenly Matt is surrounded by heartbeats too strange to be real. Some have double the sound and others skip and still others have a deepness that cannot be human. He takes a step forward and is now overwhelmed with voices and smells he's never encountered before. His normal steady gait falters and he falls to the ground with a soft grunt. Where there had been firm ground there was now carpet. What the hell had just happened to him?

He tries to push himself up, but the noise and smell continue to over whelm him and he can't figure out how to center himself. Never one to ask for help if he doesn't need it, Matt calls out into the noise. "Please someone help me? Where am I?"

Felicity stepped into the Holodeck on the first day of Chanukkah, knowing what she wanted.

She recreated the loft that Oliver shared with Thea, even though she had never seen it, she had seen pictures. She always imaged being able to celebrate this holiday with the people she cared about.

She let out a breath, and asked the computer for edible Chanukkah foods. It wouldn't be like her Nana's but it would do. She finally settled on doughnuts,latkes, chocolate gelts. She made sure that there was sour cream and jelly too. Chanukkah food was all fried, so she did make sure there was some soup and pasta as well.

Now that Dr. Crusher's medical team has cleared a sizable number of new passengers for ship-wide access comes a big day for them: the day they receive their official introduction to the Enterprise. It starts with a tour of the ship and some background to the situation, delivered by Chief O'Brien.

The tour covers the main areas of the ship, and a history of recent events, Q-inspired and otherwise.

Once the tour has wrapped up, it normally falls on Worf's shoulders to assign the new arrivals quarters and instruct them on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. They have been gathered together in Ten Forward, and are awaiting further instructions on how to proceed. Unfortunately, Worf is still unavailable, and so instead it falls on Lt. Junior Grade Baldwin’s shoulders to do so, just as it did last month.

As he has done this before, Baldwin 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.

Looking down at the safety of his PADD, he says, "Room assignments are as follows," before reading off the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them.

Deck 7, Section 4
Room # 0718 - Natasha Romanoff and Tex
Room # 0722 - Carson Beckett
Room # 0726 - Jackal Egret and Merlin (BBC)
Room # 0733 - Mack Gerhardt and Hokuto Shijima

Room # 0758 - Trance Gemini and Rose Tyler
Room # 0763 - General Chang and Myka Bering
Room # 0767 - Finnick Odair and Alex Rogan
Room # 0772 - Inari Raith and Harry Dresden
Room # 0779 - Angel Islington and Lorna Dane

Deck 8, Guest Quarters (Family Suites)
Room # 0100 - Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen and Thea Queen
Room # 0101 - Killian Jones and Emma Swan

Deck 9
Room # 0922 - Amy Pond (SPN)
Room # 0931 - Luna Lovegood and Prue Halliwell
Room # 0932 - Piper Halliwell and Paige Matthews Mitchell
Room # 0933 - Phoebe Halliwell and Chris Halliwell

"I will remain here to answer questions," Baldwin says, managing to keep the reluctance out of his voice. "And the rest of the Security team will be standing by to escort you where you need to be."

The list is also displayed on a PADD, where people can refer to it if they need to.

[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 find 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. The tour given by Chief O'Brien is not open for tagging; you can assume your character had any basic questions answered. ]

Oliver was feeling slightly better since talking to Felicity and Thea about his demons. He was still struggling to sleep through the night and food still tasted like ashes in his mouth, but at least he was smiling a little more. He was currently sorting through his things and trying to decide how he could get rid of the League outfit without burning it and risking the ship. He pulled the hood out and was about to pick it up when he heard a soft mew.

He tilts his head. and he hears the noise again only there seemed to be more than one mew. He carefully unfolded the hood to discover three tiny kittens staring up at him as if to say. "Finally it was dark in there." They climbed out of the hood and started trying to climb on Oliver's lap with happy kitten noises. One kitten was pure white with a black circle around it's eye and the other two were Siamese with odd arrow shaped marks in their fur that looked a bit red and green.

"Okay this is....weird. I know you guys weren't in there when I folded this up before," he says as he gently shoos them onto the floor. The white kitten sits right in the center of his lap and makes it clear she isn't leaving and one of the Siamese started to climb up his arm. The other Siamese just cuddled against the white kitten and Oliver sighs and reaches for his PADD. He sends an message blast to everyone he knows. <i>Found cats in my room, anyone missing one?</i>

(Plotlocked to Oliver Queen and eventually Felicity Smoak, emotional fallout from the Halloween plot and spoilers possible for late season 3 of Arrow to name several)

Thea had been keeping to herself outside of classes and training. Thankfully since that first run-in there has been no return of Ra's Al Ghul but she had been hit by memory flashes of Sara Lance falling off that ledge several times. Add in her being stabbed and it was not a pretty sight mentally, so she had been doing something she had done before when she was frayed mentally and emotionally.

She did not bother actually eating.

Oh sure she was eating but not nearly enough for someone in recovery. This time around she was picking at fries, something she would usually be happily wolfing down. Another sign she was not in a great place, the lack of a bottle of BBQ sauce. Her weakness for the stuff a source of humor among her friends but now it was missing.

The other major clue was in her eyes. She had not exactly slept since the most recent round of nightmares and memory flashes had hit and it showed in more ways than one. She also knew if this was hitting her it had to be hitting Oliver even harder: especially after the talk they had about Sara, Tommy and their mother during the party.

"Time to shove back my pain and be the worry wart little sister." she decided.

( Late last night, in Room #0914 )

When he works up the nerve to ask the computer the time, it responds with 4:45am. A little early for his routine morning workout, but after that dream he doesn't think he'll be getting any more sleep tonight. He dresses efficiently and is out of his room by 4:52am, heading straight for the gym. Today's workout will end up being more punishing than normal.

By the afternoon, he's a little more settled but still restless. Holodeck 5, the one closest to Ten Forward, happens to be free for once. He loads the usual program and steps inside, standing at the outskirts of the bleachers in Ebbets Field as the crowd goes wild. Eyes closed, he listens to the stamping of feet and the crack of wood sending the ball home, the tinny voice of the announcer calling the plays, and the cheers of everyone around him, until he feels like he can breathe again. "Computer? Can we get rid of the crowd?"

With a hum, the stadium empties in a second. Ebbets Field is quiet, chalk lines fresh and undisturbed. Steve smiles softly, and moves down the steps to get to the field, leaving his sweatshirt on the rails. It's been a while since the last time he played ball.

[ooc: Practice game! It's going up a tad late because my weekend exploded, sorry Ten Forward you're gonna get more Steve in a few days. It's terrible of me, I know. Steve's just tossing the ball around tonight, anyone is welcome to join in and practice with him and ICly get invited to play on Wednesday. Wednesday's post will be organized into teams. If you have any questionnns, hit me over here and I'll try to have the teams posted in the OOC comm by Tuesday evening! :D Oh, and if you want to catch Steve before he hits the field just for a chat, you're welcome to do so!]

Current Mood: pensive
Current Location: catch him anywhere between decks 8 and 12!

The holodeck party had been designed as a funeral-type gathering, originally for Fatima and Beverly to let go of some of the trauma they had incurred at the hands of COMPASS. It had evolved since then, turning into a larger party without losing its original purpose. Spread mostly by word of mouth, the party ended up being larger than Beverly had expected, but likely just what Fatima had wanted. All were welcome, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

The setting was the streets of New Orleans in the 1920's. In the middle of one large street was where the party would be held. There were tables with all manner of replicated food. Annie had offered to find out what would be good to set up and they had used her information to find something that nearly everyone would like. Drinks were the same. Plenty of Earth varieties and plenty of others. Surely everyone could find something to enjoy.

There were plenty of holographic people around as well, dressed to the '20's fashions, or as close as this far in the future could get. Some of them introduced the music and the dance floor. It was more of a dance street than anything, but it counted. Everyone was welcome to join them and the party turned into a bit of celebration amidst everything else. The music itself kept changing, rotating through what the Enterprise systems had on file. One minute it might be classical. The next it was something entirely different. Everything imaginable would probably have played by the night's end.

Or whenever the party actually ended.

A little bit away from the main drag, the holodeck had been programmed to create an alley between two brick-walled buildings. Unrealistically, the alley was clean and dry. Illuminating it were three trash cans along one of the walls, filled with kindling and crackling with golden flames. Holographic flames, of course, as much as Fatima had wanted to use the real thing. By the cans was a small table, with slips of stiff parchment and pens in every possible color there was.

It had taken some doing, but Fatima had programmed the holodeck to include a chalk drawing on the wall over the cans. It was a swirling pink and purple and blue rendering of the Milky Way galaxy. In yellow stars, a simple message was written out:

Write the names of those you left behind…
Cast them into the fire to say goodbye…

The party had been originally been conceived as a funeral, after all. A way to let go of the past and face the future, no matter how uncertain. There wouldn’t be any bodies, but there was still a place to say goodbye.

There is a soft pop that can be heard in Ten forward. Felicity can be seen standing in the middle of the lounge looking somewhat stunned. This wasn't right. Her heart sank as she looked around nothing looking familiar to her at all. What was going on?

"No! This isn't right... No No No!" She shook her head. "Where is Oliver Queen? I need to save him. It's important. Please anyone?"

She is supposed to be in the ATOM suit now, she almost had him.... Oh God... what would happen now?

[Sickbay: locked to any doctor types]

"If I knew how to take this suit off I'd be kissing you right now," he hear Felicity say and it brought one of his rare smile out to play. He knew he was not good enough for Felicity Smoak and yet he can't help loving her as deeply as he does. She was so brave and smart and funny and his. No matter what happened next, he would have her and that was all that mattered to him. He takes a few steps toward her planning on pulling Palmers helmet off and kissing her himself when the world goes pear shaped. He reaches for Felicity and comes into contact with...

Nothing....Felicity isn't standing in front of him anymore. And the room he's in now is white with strange screens on the walls and noises he doesn't recognize in the slightest. He has to reign in the instinct to reach for a weapon, but he does attempt to drop into a crouch. That turns out to be a bad idea as he realizes his ribs are broken and the crouch sends pain shooting up his body and he straightens up with a wince as he reaches over to grip his ribs. "Little help," he calls out trying not to pass out. He's the Arrow and he's stronger then this.

[Sickbay after being patched up: ota]

Oliver feels completely out of his depth. He was in space and Starling City was centuries away. He'd shake his head if he wasn't feeling a bit dizzy still. He is lying on a bed studying his hand. His wrist had been broken and now not so much. This whole future thing was going to be weird...very very weird. For a while he wishes Felicity or John was standing beside him, he could really use a friend right now when his life was undergoing yet another major change.

1: In the brig

Engineering was in chaos this morning. Security was called and uncouth words were spoken as a sudden new arrival fell from the catwalk above the engines. There's not a whole lot you can do when you're in the middle of work and suddenly, surprise, an earth predator! Thankfully nobody was hurt but the chaos that ensued forced the lead engineer on duty to bring up a force field in the hall once the creature escaped engineering to prevent it from advancing any further. It took two shots of a phaser on stun to take him down, which was more than impressive.

The creature awoke on the cot inside of brig cell #2, dazed and confused. He ended up hiding under the cot almost immediately afterwards. And so there he'd stay until someone came to either study him or haul him off to some crazy experiment.

2:Guest Quarters

Nobody, having seen Shadow's intelligence after the incident could ethically keep him locked up. Things had calmed down, the panic subsiding, and he agreed to be escorted to a guest quarters where he could rest and acclimate better to his surroundings. Some of the security offers were relieved that Q hadn't just brought aboard a little monster, but instead just a humanoid creature scared out of his little mind.

So once he was in his 'quarters', he took it to himself to find a place where he could watch everyone else or the door, but also have a fair amount of security. For now, it was the corner of the couch, laying sprawled out like a common cat and staring at the door or his bunk mate. He was not feeling secure enough to be the first to strike up conversation.

3: Ten Forward

And so he braves the outside world, outside of the quarters, that is. Venturing out into the hall but swiftly being directed to the only place he could actually go to. Up to the bar. Great, he could get something to take the edge off, right? Maybe. Who knew if they had stupid laws like they did in the Americas here on this-- It's a freakin' bloody space ship. How'd he get sucked into outer space? Never mind.

Either way he enters the bar off the turbo lift, looking scruffy and battle worn. His clothes, a red hoodie with black patches off a durable material was torn and fraying at the seams. His pants, which were short cut, ending at his calves, were in a similar condition. For anyone else either he didn't care about his appearance, or only owned one pair of clothes and they were well worn. That latter, was the truth of course.

He saunters up to the bar, blinking at the bartender. "Got any bailies?" He quandaries, then glancing over at the replicator. That was a thing...

Thea was officially restless and itching to start shooting again. Sure the small scale training/contest against The Doctor had been fun but she needed something more. So after getting lost and eventually getting directions from a security officer that passed by she found herself in the holodeck. After a fast crash course she chose a Robin Hood inspired program, perfect for friendly contests she figured (plus if she was being honest shooting against Robin Hood just sounded like fun).

But for the moment she was basically firing arrow after arrow, in her soul she was nailing Ra's Al Ghul with every shot.

"Nothing crazy just yet." she whispered,"Can't risk getting hurt again." But at the same time just getting back to semi normal was helping, the itch was not as strong now that she was actually taking matters into her own hands. She also had another theory, she figured just being around people again could only help things at the same time.

not_the_question

This Doctor had been getting settled in on board the Enterprise - well as much as he can. He still baulks at the jabs he had to be given, but since they didn't contain anything that was harmful to him, he allowed for them.

Now, he has an agenda. He knows the TARDIS is somewhere on board and now that he has a map and listings, he's going to go there to find it.

( A: Plot Locked to Trever and his Cat )

B: TARDIS Cargo hold Plot: Open To All
After his adventure with Trever and his cat, the Doctor finally arrives at the cargo hold that is marked as containing the TARDIS. He sonics his way in (whether or not that was necessary) and looks around. Some of the items look familiar and others seem alien - even to him - which is saying something. It isn't long before he sees the TARDIS, standing there in all her glory. He confidently strides towards her. When he gets there, he gives a loving stroke to her. "Hello, Old Girl. Now, let's see about getting out of here."

( C: Plot Locked to Thea )

{{OOC: I'm happy to backtag however long people are interested in playing with these plots.}}

You'll find the Counseling Offices, and it's Counseling Staff run by Counselor Troi, located on Deck 8. A message which has been passed along to the new arrivals and those who've been here for longer several times. From their first appointments in sickbay after arrival up to the newest happenstances since then, which continue to lead to a greater need.

For those entering for the first time, you find these offices are of subdued, calming green walls with equally unobtrusive light purple furniture, and gentle ambient light. Each of the rooms has an assortment of chairs, tables, and even a snaking reclining couch, which may be used for sitting or laying down on as you feel called.

Nothing to worry about and no pressure from the moment you walk in.

They're here to help as best they can.

[ooc: Counseling Sessions are, as will be always, OTA and open for backtagging! Like the Sickbay posts, you can expect one of these every month, so no stressing if you can't make one, we'll be back next month.

For new characters/players: tagging and counseling is NOT mandatory. Deanna Troi is acting as head of the Counseling Staff, but all staff are available to you. If you have prearranged to be meeting with a specific counselor, tag in specifying which counselor are requesting in the subject line, otherwise one will leap at you as they are available. All your information and questions about the Counseling Staff can be found here.
