===========================
Outside the door.........................

Aly pulled and yanked at the skirt on one side and then the other letting out a groan as she seemed to make no headway on either side of increasing the length of the fabric. Her hair was up in a high ponytail but the decorations adorning it tickled her neck with each movement of her head. Nervously Ally cast a glance to the right and then the left down the corridor. If anyone caught sight of her outside Rico’s doors dressed like this the rumor mill would no longer be spewing out false allegations but stone cold facts about her feelings towards the handsome COS.

“Come on Rico,” she said quietly before looking down and tugging at the top of her dress now. No matter when she pulled it always seemed to come up short. The designer had assured Ally that the dress and its accoutrements were perfectly accpetable but Ally had a reputation to protect and if anyone saw her like this she would definitely be sporting a less than flattering new nickname.

Lt. Ally Scott, medical

“Excuse me a minute” Rico got up and put down his beer, “that’s likely Ally, I wonder where shes been.”

She watched Rico curiously as he went to answer the door. They had been getting to know each other and it had been strangely easy to talk to him. Maybe there was more to this making friends thing than she had given credit. She took a sip of her beer and snuggled further down into the comfortable couch. Thank god for regulation couches. They were so comfortable even though they didn’t look like they would be. Or maybe, Zoi Haven was just an odd individual.

Reaching the door, Rico palmed the control and let it slide open revealing Ally in all her glory. The sight of his girlfriend outside his door in the corridor at this hour, wearing something that got his blood pumping with excitement at first made him stand with a shocked look on his face as hectilted his head, looking her over before breaking into a very large, wide grin.

“I swear to God Rico one chuckle and I will....pfft..pfft…ugh damn feathers,” Ally said trying to blow the feathers from her tipped arrows out of her face as the shiver on the back fell forward. “You had better know what I am.”

“Faerun, 1600’s, and that appears to be Wood Elf Rogue your wearing, it’s a good choice” he said as his eyes settled on every book and cranny. “Well it’s that or Tinkerbell went Goth or Santa is mobilizing for war.”

“I am not a Goth Northern Fairy Elf hell bent on finding who is naughty or nice,” Ally sighed. “And I was hoping for more than good choice,” she rolled her eyes. “I mean who in their right mind dresses like this when it is not Halloween Rico.”

“You look fantastic” remembering Haven, Rico’s smile widened and he reached out and took Allys hand, “come and meet someone Princess, I think you’ll like her. What’s the occasion?”

Looking around at Haven, Rico proudly presented his scantily clad warrior woman. “Zoi this is Ally, the love of my life, and rogue Elf who moonlights as a pediatric doctor.”

Lt Vanhall, CoS

“Hi,” Ally said clearly shocked there was a woman in Rico’s apartment. Not due to jealousy but more that she felt like a fool dressed up like this. It was then she remembered Rico asking her what the occasion was for her to be dressed this way. “It appears that my better half has either a bad memory or I am bad at marking things on a calendar. Wasn’t tonight that Dungeons game,” she asked Rico feeling her cheeks get even redder.

“Oh that was tonight? I completely forgot about it!” Rico pretended to look suitably abashed. “Dungeons and Dragons bub” he said, admiring the outfit again, “not exactly that kind of dungeon game” he winked at Ally, “and you look perfect for valiantly battling Xvarts and Bugbears.”

Zoi started to smile, watching the woman who was obviously uncomfortable in her clothing, perhaps more than Zoi had been in that dress and heels getup she had been wearing.

“Okay, not dungeon dungeon but more hidey ho I am skipping through the woods and out pops a troll from under a bridge or something dungeon games. I am making this worse aren’t I,” she started to laugh looking at Zoi. “Can I start this again? Hi, I am Ally and I was practicing for the Christmas talent show titled ‘I am the crazy Elf that Santa never talks about.’ It is a one-woman monologue.” Ally had already made a fool of herself. At least she might show Zoi she had a sense of humour.

Zoi’s smile grew wider as Ally kept speaking, apparently unable to stop herself due to embarrassment, or maybe she was just that kind of person. Zoi could not tell. Her reference to Santa had Zoi laughing easily. “My…”

“Is that a beer,” Ally said not caring whose it was on the table but picked it up taking a long draw. If there was one thing she learned from her uncle it was that alcohol always made things easier.

“That was my beer” Rico grinned.

“Your beer,” Ally said holding the drink at the edge of her lips. “I am dressed like a renegade dwarf that the Santa squad will have a bounty on for you and you are saying it’s your beer?”

“Let me get another,” he said and he left them for a moment to fetch another from the small cabinet beside his dining table.

“Good choice there baby,” Ally winked at him and blew him a kiss.

Lt. Ally Scott.

Zoi stifled a giggle. Discretion is the better part of valor. She thought with no small amount of sarcasm.

“Goodness. That’s a lot. I wish you the best of luck at the show. Let’s see if I can catch up.” She laughed and tipped her own beer in a salute towards Ally. “I am Zoi Haven, new Security Officer. It is a pleasure to meet you. This evening, I attended a rather awkward party with some ensigns… got well and truly drunk. Hated the practical orgy it had become and left. Thankfully Lt. Vanhall came to my very wobbly rescue. Under direction from Reez, I am to make friends, so I did. He is currently helping me drink water and have a night cap so I can get a little sober before going back to my place.”

“Yes. That is beer. And you are exactly how I kind of thought you would be based on lavish compliments by your boyfriend… but the outfit was a surprise.”

From somewhere behind Ally, Rico heard the statement from Zoi and looked up, pointed at her before giving her the thumbs up and a large and obvious wink in the time honored ‘Oh yeah, you rock’ expression at the extra brownie points Zoi had just earned him.

“Do you need a buddy for the show?” She teased.

Haven, Sec

“No, but you could come with me as I am stuck,” she moved her attention from Zoi to Rico, no offence Rico,” Ally said then looking back at Zoi, “I mean participating in some holodeck program I know nothing about. Rico is really into it but I think it is his security background and love of shooting things. I am a terrible shot but I would love for you to come.” Ally hoped Zoi would say yes. For a ship of relatively young adults, no one socialized much. Long hours in everyone’s departments kept people busy. Ally just hoped Zoi would say yes.

“We would love to have you join us” Rico said to Zoi, coming back up beside Ally and placing a hand on the small of her back, beer in the other hand. “D&D is a game for a group of people, but so much more fun with friends. Plus you get to see me in my outfit” he smiled widely, “but I haven’t quite decided if I am going Barbarian or Wizard, maybe Barbarian, just to see the look on peoples faces as I walk around the ship to the Holodeck.”

Lt Vanhall, CoS

Her pale blue eyes went from one hopeful face to the other jovial face and could not help but smile at them both. She didn’t really know what the game was that they were playing but it looked like it would be a hell of a ride. Besides, if she didn’t like it, she could always bow out like she had the club night with the Ensigns. Preferably she wouldn’t do it while drunk though. She did give another long dubious look at Ally’s getup and with a raised brow, she asked, “Umm.. Do I have to wear that?”

Haven, Sec

Looking over at Ally, Rico smirked at the thought and gave her a light kiss on the side of her head. “Now how would that rumor mill work if we were going around the ship with you ladies dressed in battle elf regalia and me dressed like Conan the Barbarian?” He grinned at Zoi and explained the idea a little, “You have a choice between careers like warrior, wizard, rogue, ranger and the like, and what you wear is completely up to your imagination. You play a character in a story of high adventure, where every action and choice has a consequence. Ally here is playing an Elvish Rogue, very well too I might add” he gave Ally a wink and waggled his eyebrows.

Lt Rico Vanhall, CoS

“You know half the reason I chose this is, is because on a ship or in hologram men are dorks,” Ally laughed. “A well placed oh dear I am so going to get trampled by a horde orges....come save me,” She said in her best breathy drama llama voice as she fanned her face like she was an extra in the Medieval version of Gone with the Wind. “Now,” Ally snapped back to normal speech, “it isn’t because I can’t kick someone’s ass because I can. It is more why should I at times. I mean if the whole point is battling a horde of orges to get to the treasure and I can get some poor schmuck to get the snot pummeled out of them so I can win and get the treasure....well then call me Scarlett O’Elfin. Work smarter win faster and bigger,” Ally summed up her strategy. “This get up also works amazingly well because as their eyes are on my south forty I can get the jump on lobbing their head off with my sword or have them stand still long enough to get an arrow in their heart. Now sure which avenues I will need or if I need both but a girl has to be prepared right? So once we get Zoi her dressed can we head off,” Ally said happily.

She could imagine Ally playing the damsel in distress to get the advantage in the game. Why not use that if you could? Zoi’s eyes widened mid drink and she coughed in surprise. She had not expected to go out and do anything further this evening, much less this D&D game.

Giving her Ally a chuckle, Rico deftly drew out the ‘sword’ strapped to her waist. “How exactly are you going to chop off heads with this?” He asked her, holding up what appeared to be a long knife no more than a foot in diameter. “One of those evil Orges might use it for a toothpick, just wait till you see how big they are! Oh and honey” he said, sliding the long knife back into her sheathe with a thump and grinning at Zoi, although he guessed he was likely the geekiest one among them, “an Orge is something closer related to what a horde would do under the full moon with a whole lot of alcohol present, or maybe the party Zoi was at earlier. What your meaning of fighting is an Ogre, not as fun as an Orge, and likely less tiring.” Rico bit his lip as he took another sip of his beer, looking innocent. “How about it?” He asked Zoi, “interested in a bit of holodeck fun?”

Lt Vanhall, CoS

“Ummm… Well, I am up for it, but I thought it wasn’t tonight?”She said, a little uncertain as she placed her beer down on the table.

Haven, Sec

“If it involves another woman coming along so that I am not the only chick here then yes…yes it is tonight,” Ally gave out a small laugh before leaning against Rico. “No offense chief. This is going to be great,” she feigned a really tight smile playing up the image of someone not sure they wanted to do something. It was all an act and Rico knew it. As long as she was with Rico, Ally would sit in the middle of the desert dying of thirst just to be with him. So far nothing had ever been bad with him. The twins deciding to explore the joys of verbal language was probably the worst thing that had ever happened to them as a couple so far.
