Side Sim - Lounge (open thread)

Posted Nov. 10, 2020, 12:01 a.m. by Ensign Rauður Bolurson (Security) (Russell Watt)

Rauður was in his off hours, so instead of remaining in his quarters or heading to the Gym, he headed to the crew lounge on deck 5. He ordered himself a drink from the dispenser and took it to a set of chairs near the windows within the lounge. Some were around playing cards, or one of the other games, he was content just to sit here, and look out at the stars and planets as the Sentinel flew by.

Would anyone join him? He hoped so, good to know one’s crewmates at the start of the journey, good to know who’d he’d be protecting and working alongside for the length of his tour of duty on this ship.

As he waited, he opened his left hand and looked at the picture of Helga he kept with him. She, and the knowledge that they would be parents sometime in the next nine months made him happy and focused on the work at hand. He sipped at his juice and whispered ‘I love you, H’ to the picture, before putting it on the table in front of his chair. Shuffling slightly in the lounge, the tall Icelander positioned himself so he could see entry to the lounge, as well as the stars.

OOC: His first name sounds like Row the … and at school and then the Academy, he got the nickname, row the boat son, which proved more straight forward for others to pronounce. He was the butt of many a joke about that, and he joined in with the good natured teasing about it, even joining a barbershop quartet while at the academy, he took the baseline, of course. ‘Row the boat’ was almost a signature song for group…

So, if characters have recently graduated from the Academy or taught at the Academy, they probably know of him.
