As per Genesis tradition there was an end of the year Celebration. Interestingly enough so many of the Federation races had a holiday situated on or near the last day of the year. Of course the end of the year varied, but somehow it worked out.

+++All Crew+++

Attendance is highly encouraged. Uniforms are highly discouraged, Earth Circa 1990 theme.
Food and Beverages will be provided.
2000 Hours.

“Ahhh Macarena”

Calvin not surprisingly was the first person to arrive at the post mission - end of the year celebration. In year’s past they’ve had the “White Party” and multiple full dress uniform gatherings, but Calvin wanted to see some personality in this one.

Not one for ‘dressing’ up Calvin could clean up pretty well. He wore a light pink soft sport’s jacket with a white shirt underneath, with perhaps one too many buttons undone. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/71/f5/96/71f596414806df5c482d6ce742182e83–terry-crews-terry-oquinn.jpg. He listened to the hard staccato thumps of the 1990 music pumped through the intercom while he sipped a glass of sugar-less pink lemonade (He thought it went well with his jacket).

V’Lath arrived at the party early and saw that so far it was only he and the Captain. He had no idea as to what to wear to such an event, but after a bit of research had come up with an outfit he hoped would pass. He was wearing a pair of faded and slightly torn blue-jeans, a black shirt open at the collar to display the several gold chains he was wearing, this was topped by a red leather sports jacket and a pair of gold framed glasses with reflective lenses. He had a large mug of Vulcan coffee in his hand which he raised in greeting to Captain. (He felt totally ridiculous, and considered asking if they had hot chocolate available.)

V’Lath

Somehow Reia always found herself at a party before, or after, her new husband. The Genesis always kept them both very busy but oh the time they managed to spend alone together.

She had done quite a bit of research on 90s fashion and hoped that she had pulled together something passable beginning with red stiletto heels, gold woven ankle bracelet, white thigh high fishnet stockings, cotton candy pleated micro-mini skirt, and a filmy white halter that tied at her right shoulder with an intricate knot. She had brushed her silken hair back and had a red bandanna, tied in a large bow, as a signal to her husband that she could be his Christmas present.

=^=You’re late again sweetie. Crawl out of those engines and get into the shower please.=^= she whispered softly.

Dagen was late. He had been trying not to think of the party. Not that that was a problem for the sociable Trill, but the theme of the party. 1990’s? That was right smack in the middle of the Eugenics Wars. Does he dress up like one of the augments? Which is what? He had been teasing about in that dilemma for a while before hunkering down to try to get something. =^= Shower alone? =^= he replied with a wink she could not see but perhaps in his tone. =^= Working on it. =^=

Stepping further into the room she saw the Captain and the Counselor.

“Wow! This is… Um… Different.”

V’Lath noticed the new arrival and all though he was not much of a mixer, decided he would try and be more forthcoming. He took a sip of his coffee and approached the new arrival. “Welcome, we’ve met on the bridge but haven’t met socially. I am V’Lath, the new counselor.” V’Lath slid his glasses down his nose and peered over them. “That is a most fetching costume you are wearing.” He pushed his glasses back up on his nose. “Could I get you a drink or refreshments ?” V’Lath hoped more people would show up soon. He was feeling a bit conspicuous at the moment.

V’Lath

Reia remembered seeing V’Lath on the bridge several times and knew she was probably due for a counselling review. Hopefully he would bring it up tomorrow.

“Yes, I’ve noticed you too. My name is Reia. I’m the CIO. Pleased to meet you. I hope you’re finding this place to be welcoming, I certainly have.” she said with a smile thinking of her recent wedding.

Dagen entered. His search didn’t run very well. It seemed, pre war, that it was either very casual or very formal. He chose to be posh on this one, coming in with the equivalent of a tailored black tuxedo, well shone shoes, pressed white shirt and bow tie. The contrast was starker with his light complexion though mixed well with his Trill spots and dark salt and pepper hair. His eyes tracked to find Reia and smiled when he saw her. A small ironic thought crossed his mind in thinking that he was dressed up for this but that their impromptu wedding was on a beach.

On the way over he snagged two drinks. One was a scotch on the rocks for himself, and the other a faux non-alcoholic champagne for Reia. Carrying them over he noted her particularly stunning ensemble .. complete with a bow. She looked to be with the new counselor. “Hello, love. Got her as fast as I could. I wasn’t sure quite what to wear for a nuclear conflagration.” He kissed her shoulder and whispered softly in her ear, ‘you look yummy’ before handing her her drink. Looking up at V’Lath he said, “I don’t believe we’ve met before. I’m Dagen.” He’s a tall one, Dagen thought.

V’Lath was relieved that people were starting to appear and realized that the latest arrival was the husband of the young lady he was previously talking to. “No we haven’t, I am V’Lath, the new counselor on board, very pleased to meet you.” V’Lath removed the sunglasses and hung them from the pocket of his jacket. “I haven’t had a chance to meet many of the crew yet, but am looking forward to it. I have been studying medical records and case files and noticed that you are a joined Trill, I hope that we can meet and discuss the symbiotic relationship sometime. It is fascinating to me.” V’Lath realized he was rambling and letting his interest in different psychological profiles peak out. “I am sorry, I tend to get caught up in my work and let it monopolize my actions. Again I am very pleased to meet you and your very charming wife.”

V’Lath

Reia accepted her glass and took a small taste. She could always tell the real from the synth but had decided not to drink too much in public. She giggled slightly as Dagen kissed her and whispered.

“Just bring me a glass of the real stuff when it’s time to go.” she whispered back admiring his choice of outfit. Her husband was even more handsome than the XO.

Ben decided to bring several trays of baked goodies, cookies, chocolate brownies, and his famous cremé bruleé. Ben came in with his hair parted to the right slightly. He went straight to the bar and ordered a top shelf whiskey with a Pepsi.
