Rising to his feet John reached down to help Karri up too. "I haven't had such an enjoyable time and laughed so much in a long time. It has been work, study ..repeat, seeming endlessly since graduating. "Karri rose up and stood close John; once again he felt himself swimming it those fascinating blue eyes.

Karri smirked her ears twitching slightly listening as the faint sound of wind rustled along the edges of the canopy an across the open field.

"I quite feel the same John, I would have never thought that I'd find myself finding someone i'd be so at ease with. Or that I'd hope that we become good friends."

Karri tried to hide her smile of mirth as the faint rumble of thunder hinted at her ears.

After a moment he said, "Next time we visit Earth, we don't have man eating plants but I hope you'll find it as beautiful as I do."
He found he was still holding her shoulders.


"That sound lovely John.... an John?" Karri paused looking up at him in ernest, her tail flicking behind her.

(johns response)

"I hope you dont mind a little rain...."

With a joyful laugh Karri tossed her head back as the storm front blew over in a torrent of warm rain drenching both of them instantly.

Star rolled her eyes at doc, flipping him off with a less then lady like gesture an a curt smirking smile.

Taking once last glance over the group, just to make sure everyone was as they said an in one piece

. star turned to the corridor ahead, looking at the dead. Star pulled a pouch from her belt an quickly tossed salt over the bodies of the fallen Egyptians muttering a quick warding.

(it probably wouldn't be strong enough to ward off necomantic magics but might delay any zombie~sih effects... or not lol )

Moving of to stay with the group. Looking at the Northern stairs they seemed to draw the most energy as if beckoning.

Subject: no real issue just a pondering


i was thinking that the job scheduling would be like rotational shift work?? so you'd have day/afternoon/night shifts with so many on an a day or two (24-48hrs ect off cause theirs no real day or night on ship) to adjust your sleep cycle for the next shifts?

so if Karri was coming off an afternoon shift she'd have a night shift for her next allotment depending on scheduling from the chief engineering?

Subject: holodeck


Stardate 0365.02.07
USS Peregrine, holodeck - 0810

How about we go to the holodeck and take me on walk of Caitia? john suggested, Karri inclined.

Karri taped the holo panel. "Caitia prime D'katharr Forrest early spring, non poisonous Flora only, mid level animal ambiance." Karri smirks at john. "Don't want you stumbling into something an dying."

Karri an john enter the holodeck an the humidity hit them like stepping into a green house. Lush foliage an ferns cover the leaf littered ground an the smell of peattish decay fills the air. large trees with draped vines canopy the ceiling. Karri takes john by the hand leading him in to a dense patch of leaves.

Karri points out several types of medicinal plants quickly letting go of john's hand.

John explores grabbing a vine an tugging gently on it a couple times, didn't feel it creep around his ankles.

(Karri's voice softly in the background)
"theirs a type of pitcher plant that grows in crooks of the trees, the vines which hang down from the trees when touched in a repetitive manor or touched for a prolonged time quickly ensnare the target an recoil pulling them 8-10ft into the air"

As john was half listening to Karri explain about that particular type of pitcher vine.

With a startled yelp John was dragged up into the air, yelling for Karri to help him between fits of laughter.
Karri covers her mouth in mirth an stairs up at john who is dangling from the canopy.

being a boy scout john pulls a knife an dose a curl to try an cut the vine.

"STOP!" Karri yelled at john. "the vines are filled with acidic sap! ... its not poisonous but it'll still hurt you..."

Karri grabs a cat-tailish looking plant an pulling it from the ground rolled in in the leaves crushing it to make it weep a dark red sticky sap. Nimbly scaling the tree she drops the bulb into the pitcher giving the pitcher a swift kick as you hear the slosh of the pitchers collected acid bath. the pitchers lid drops an karri hollers at john.

"get ready to land!"

the vines relaxes an in a second it lets go completely dropping John to the ground

Karri jumps down an helps john to his feet, look him over.

"welcome to Caite, you've been initiated." karri chuckled lightly, brushing the dirt an leaves off of John's back an shoulders.

"you feel up to light sparring?"

(assuming a yes)

"computer Caitian light training grounds, light training clothes"

(the forest fades an large expanse of stubble grassland appears with semblance of a boxing gym an archery dummies sprawl across the room. Karri's clothes shift into a half halter top woven out of green leaves an a long loin cloth. John's out fit shifts into Capri~ish drawstring pants made of a soft cotton like plant.)

Karri grins an walks over to a pile of weapons picking up a several small Caitian blades and a chakram.

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd316/terencemartin/FrozenChakram.pngkatarish )

currling her tail around the Chakram Karri did several streches an cart wheels, talking to john all the while.
"this is our basic training most Caitian youths begin training in their 8th summer males an females."

Karri did a one handed cartwheel.

"Only one in thirty Caitian warriors are able to tail wield the chakram."

Karri landed next to a cream striped melon headed training dummy flicking her tail. for a moment nothing seemed to happen then the melon slowly slid apart with a dark blue ooze seeping from the cut.

"I'm only the third female know to be able to wield it."

Karri caught the top half of the melon drawing a cutting blade from her hip she sliced the melon into several large pieces.

"i'm told it tastes akin to human's water melon, theirs only few seeds try not to eat them. their not poisonous but they can cause strong flatulence. OH!"

Karri quickly handed the fruit to john.

"computer one plate of two nitro thallon ants an several Sonta grubs. an two large ice waters."

(a plate appears with two massive evil looking ants an several large cream an white speckled grubs)

Karri pulled a second dagger an expertly baited the ants to bit the dagger using her claws to quickly squeeze the ants which sprayed a hissing liquid onto the grubs seeming to freeze them. quickly waving john over she motioned for him to hold a piece of fruit benith the grubb which she pressed with the dagger blade spooling out a mouse like whipped cream substance from the grub.

Karri noticed johns' hands trembling slightly an looked up at his plaid face.

"its ok, its tastes like whipped cream. But that one can be mine, you can have your's plane." Karri purred softly licking her fingers off.

Karri an John sat a bit chatting about the comparisons between the earth an Caitian home worlds.

Karri an John sparred for a bit each going easy on the other accessing the others skill levels in comparison to the other. But only seemingly in turns to toss each other in the dirt till they were both covered in a fine coating .

Sitting beside one another catching their breaths an drinking the last of their ice waters, karri giggled looking at John.

"you look like a mud pie." poking him lightly where a trickle of sweat had congealed into a muddy streak. then looking down at herself, her fur tinged a light reddish brow an matted in places. Karri laughed at herself
"I look a right mess myself. I look like a kitt after falling in a mud-wallow."

Subject: plans?


Stardate: 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine. Mess hall. 0550hrs.

So what were your plans for today?

Karri leaned forward an lightly resting her chin on her hands, half watching john eat his meal an half watching absently out the observation windows lining the seating area of the commissary.

"My plans? ...humm. Nothing really important. I was going to see if the holodeck was open. go for a training scenario or run, an just blow off a little stream."

Karri's tail flicked in anticipation. Karri smiled sweetly at john her fangs poking from beneath her lips giving her a impish look.

"Though having just ate such a large meal sitting here a while, works for now?"

Stardate: 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine. Mess hall. 0545hrs.

"Lieutenant, would you mind if I joined you."

Karri started at the sound of john's drawl, swallowing the bite of steak she was chewing.

"It so nice to occasionally order up something that reminds you of home."

Eyeing John's plate Karri smirked, seeings how his plate seemed to mirror her own.

" Galaxies an races may differ but good food is good food. even if it's only passable replicator fare." Karri smirked her fangs peaking out of her lopsided grin. As she swirled a piece of kumara in the steak dregs an cream coating it thoroughly before eating it.

chewing quickly she licked her lips an eyed johns' plate. " though the cake is a nice touch. Catian desert would be a Gwar fruit preserved in Agar jelly topped with more Sonta cream."

pausing she thought. "human equivalent would be umm... mandarin orange in Ahh... i think it was called J-ello? with whipped cream. Though i don't think the humans pallet would be comparable to the same. Most Catian food is a ...acquired taste." Karri chuckled softly.

Subject: Comfort foods....


Stardate: 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine. Mess hall. 0545hrs.


Karri went to the replicator grabbing a tray from the mess line. "Catial boar steak, blue rare. with Sonta cream, thick. kumara baked, sweet. "

taking the food from the replicator Karri went to sit by herself in a corner table. She didn't order traditional food often, but sometimes comfort food is the best.

Spooning the thick mouse like clotted cream onto the steak an cutting open the baked kumara, Karri sighed in delight as she cut the steak into thin strips the liquid pooling into the plate absorbing into the potato turning it a deep red.

Karri catching herself purring slightly, Karri blushed in embarrassment. Tucking into her meal she tried to ignore the rest of the room.

After several bites her mind wandered to which sim she'd run if the holodeck was open.

ok TY i wasn't sure if we'd have a councilor beings the ship was a smaller class.

i'm not trying to do the "mentally unstable" trope, just having Karri being frustrated mentally, physically. as shes' suppressed her warrior/animal side.

kinda how warff battled with his Klingon side.


at least thats a general idea of what i'd want to do~ish....

Stardate: 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine, Personal quarters(Karri) - 0725

Karri rolled over looking at the time piece beside her bed, grabbing the large iced water bottle on the night stand. wiping the condensation wet hand on the blankets she chugged half the bottle. With a sigh of exasperated frustration she flopped back on the bed her arms falling across her face.

Her subconsciousness was bothering her. She'd been dreaming of racing though the dense jungle of Cait. The coughing roars of Kzinti warriors echoing though the vined trees. tripping Karri falls to the leaf littered ground sending the leaves flying, looking down she sees the cloud dead eyes of Sa'eridon thar K'oar his mouth silently mouthing her name.
Rubbing her hands over her face.

Karri pushed the memories of holding K'oar the second son, an her betrothed in her arms. The blood from the laceration in his chest from Kzinti bladed talons weeping between her fingers. Tears pricked her eyes, as he joked trying to make light of the wound. the last words he'd said to her had been ghosted over by the ringing searing rage enveloping her.

Reaching her hand towards the ceiling the faint room light glowing down between her fingers, the dampness of unwanted emotions spread across her face.

with a loud cuss in Caitain raking her fingers through her hair karri got up an headed to the sonic shower. wracking her mind for what could dredge up such long forgotten memories. watching the stream rise from her fur she let the memories fade with each tendril of stream.

Dressed in her off duty clothing a light butter tan tunic an leggings to match, karri headed to the mess for food an a tea. Flexing her hand watching the mussels tighten an flex as she clenched an unclenched her hand, she mentally counted the deck floors as the turbo lift hummed along. maybe it was just the mundanity getting to her, maybe if the holodeck was free she'd go for a sim run after she ate.

the doors swished open making her start slightly as if dazed, she'd lost herself to thought again. Frowning she stepped from the lift an into the mess. Smirking she could never fail to give in to the ever inviting an chipper ambiance of the mess. Her stomach growled loudly as the mix of scents assaulted her nose, Karri headed to the replicators.

food, food was good. she'd let it distract her for the moment.

the chat used to have a fairly standing room like that.

i've played with the idea of moving the rp chat game to the forum. beings its hit or miss on game nights. but i keep it in chat because it keeps chat useful an its faster pace.

but its still a good idea.
we need more draw's to keep new ppl involved past the initial few days.
