While digging through my belongings after returning from the party, I found the silliest damn toy I have ever owned. I came across it when doing a research project on toys during my second semester of 20th century studies in the Academy. It's called an Astrojax, and it is the love child of juggling and yo-yos. While both concepts had been around ( Read more... )

Leaving the mess, I kept hearing my name float up in the conversation. I made a point to ignore it. Reaching the corridor, I let out a sigh of relief as I was now out of ear shot of the damned gossip brigade. The Shingen easily had the most active and rabid gossip network I'd ever encountered on a fleet ship, which is saying a lot given the level ( Read more... )

Mouse called to check with me about Adrijana, once she'd tracked him down, to see if I really knew her. Toby and I were a little involved when he called, and Toby only really stopped to let me grab my comm badge. Must say, continuing to have sex while trying to have a serious conversation and not tip off the conversation partner? Very sexy. I do ( Read more... )

On my way off the ship to meet Toby finally, I ran into Adrijana. She walked with me to the airlock as she told me about the surprise party in the works for Noelle's pending commission. She was hoping I'd come, and also help in getting Noelle's present. She wants to get Noelle a kitten, and after seeing her playing with Delilah earlier, I could ( Read more... )

Ryan managed to dig up a bottle of 2309 Blood Wine in exchange for giving him the recording of his awesome night of h0t Vulcan sex0rs and promising not to sell it. I did neglect to mention I'd given Wade a copy, but he didn't ask. I'm not sure if she's the sort to sell it or just enjoy it herself. It's his own fault though, he knew where the camera ( Read more... )

Even though Toby's call last night had killed the mood for Mouse, he still slept over. He fell asleep pretty soon after that, and I stayed up a little longer to write my musings about Toby. When I woke up this morning, he was already borrowing my computer terminal, cat and replicator to make himself at home. Delilah was purring along and sitting in ( Read more... )

Well, dinner with Mouse went okay enough. He's hurt that I'm going away, but he seems more annoyed that I'm still playing with the various hacks and programs McKay littered the station with as he settled in and took advantage of being chief engineer. Mouse doesn't seem to understand that one has to take advantage of assets as they come, regardless ( Read more... )

And like a cat, I've once again cheated death. Well, less death and more a horrible waste of time on a space station full of rejects. Some of the people on Milliways have been awesome, Mouse for one, but others have been little more than a frustration.

After Mouse did some detective work to get me out of being accused of murdering that moron ( Read more... )
