OOC: Hey all, this is an opportunity to side sim socially. I want to provide a space for our characters to digest the change in command and welcome Hjortur’s XO character aboard. Please come on in.

IC: Riley strolled around his and David’s quarters. They’d finally settled in. While a few crates were tucked deep inside their closets still needing to be unpacked, the space was organized and reflected a solid mix of the two men’s style. Riley felt better than he’d have thought about sharing his living space with another. Rather than feeling anxiety at the change, he welcomed it.

Change was the operative word on the Genesis these days and tonight was meant for those closest to Riley and David to celebrate it. Julien’s departure had left a hole in the heart of the crew, but Marius’s ascension to the captain’s chair provided a measure of continuity that eased the loss. And now there was a new personality in the mix. Lt. Cmdr. Peterusson was an unknown quantity. Riley had the benefit of a one-on-one with the new XO, but other’s hadn’t had the same opportunity. Riley hoped tonight would provide a chance for those the XO would work most closely with to start to know the man.

And if it served as a makeshift housewarming for the Counselor and CSO’s new living arrangement, so be it.

“David, I hope you’re ready. Our guests should be arriving any minute,” he called toward the bedroom where he knew the CSO was finishing getting ready.

The set up was casual. A few hors d’oeuvres mixed with desserts were laid out on the circular dining table in the middle of the room. A bar was pushed against the wall with bottles of beer and wine in buckets of ice next to stiffer fare and glasses. Riley had invited the senior staff and bridge officers to attend along with any companions they’d like to bring. The Genesis had a tradition of large parties, especially around Christmas. This was a more intimate affair.

Riley made his way to the bar and poured himself a Hendrick’s over ice, adding a twist of lemon. The Scottish gin had been around for centuries and was a favorite of the Counselor’s. He took a sip and let himself look over the space one more time. Everything was ready. Now for the people to arrive.

Dekker, CNS

Ben was dressed in his family’s traditional attire. An emerald green woven shirt and tan slacks with his black leather boots. Waiting just outside the door for Tigress.
