[_foster_]

*taking lunch after Archer has taken shift earlier than scheduled, will take second half of Beta Shift instead*

*limps to table, plate piled high with Mac and Cheese*

Ow*sits at same corner table was at last night, has good purview of everything still

Comments

[majorhayes]

*had a long nap, a shower, a shave*

*feels vaguely normal again*

Geez, has it only been half a day since...seems almost surreal, looking back

*strides into mess hall*

hope my walk doesn't look as weird as it feels

*grabs a plate off the service area*

*looks around the crowded mess for a place to sit*

[crewman_kelly]

*comes into mess hall, looking for something to eat after she got woken up so unexpectedly, still off duty*

*grabs some tea, a sandwich and an orange*

*freezes on the spot for a moment as she sees majorhayes, who seems to look for a place to sit*

SHIT!

[_foster_]

*sees Major Hayes looking around Mess Hall*

Well...he's mostly normal...for a MACO...I guess...

*catches Hayes' eye, nods politely*

*indicates seat available at table*

[majorhayes]

*sees a young fellow catch his eye and gesture to the empty seat opposite*

*gratefully sits down*

Thanks. For a moment there I thought this was going to be takeaway.

*nods*

[crewman_kelly]

*notices majorhayes sitting down at _foster_'s table*

*sighs mentally*

*remembers what her brother Steve said, Once is fun, twice is nice, thrice is a relationship. As long as you play by that rule, you control your sex life.*

*breathes deeply*

*finally finds an empty seat where she can see majorhayes, but he can't see her*

*thinks: as long as _foster_ doesn't catch me watching I ought to be fine*

*sits down to eat, intent on observing Foster's and Hayes' table occassionally during her meal*

[_foster_]

*wipes mouth with napkin*

No problem, Major, 'tis a might crowded in here. *frowns, looking around* I think the drinkin' crowd has the munchies now...it's a wonder Chef's not outta everything except the jalepeno dip, ha.

*thinks, looks at Hayes* You ever tried Chef's Jalepeno dip?

*nods at Little as she passes and smiles, at same time catches Kelly glancing away from table*

Oooo...two in a row...gotcher eyes on me, sweetcheekses?

*notices _foster_ trying to catch her eye*

It's not you I'm looking at, idiot.

::walks up quietly from behind crewman_kelly::

Hey Christina, remember me?

::points to empty chair::

Mind if I sit down?

[crewman_kelly]

*stares at him for a brief moment, having heard all the rumours about him*
*catches herself*

Which PIF did you fall through? I heard you left... vanished into thin air.

*notices him pointing at chair*
Sure, be my guest Daniels.

[_daniels_]

::sits::

No PIF. I had other duties to attend to. Kept me out of sight for awhile.

I was hoping to run into you.

::pauses and looks at the table that Kelly was eyeing when he walked up::

::looks back at Kelly::

So what have you been up to lately?

::smirks::

Not what you think, man!

Waitaminute, why were you hoping to run into me? I've heard rumours about you - your quarter's been sealed off, you popping in and out as you please...

Wanna share?

[_daniels_]

Yes, looking for you. I always like to have my meals with the prettiest woman on Enterprise.

::laughs::

Share? That my friend is a two way street.

::leans in and whispers::

Maybe we could share, somewhere more private sometime.

::sits back::

[crewman_kelly]

*raises an eyebrow*

What's with you guys these days? *glances over into majorhayes' direction then quckily looks back at Daniels* Once a girl gets no offers for months, but then there's two, shortly after one another...

[_daniels_]

I don't know about the other guys but as I told you I have been out of sight.

But I am back for now.

::glances around::

I think I may be more readily available for awhile.

I was kind of hoping that would be alright with you.

[crewman_kelly]

The other guys?

OOC: the player has to head bedwards. Will post in the morning

[_daniels_]

You said "you guys" and I did notice you eyeing that table with the two gentlemen over there.

I just figured.....

So tell me. What rumours?
