[paradaxical]

Having found out that the Starbase provides holosuites, Dax commandeers one for herself. She programs it with a scenario she's used before on DS9. A tranquil tropical setting with a large natural fresh water swimming pool situated at the end of a fern-strewn path. The pool is big enough to allow for proper exercise laps. The only man-made structure

[he walks by.

stops.

backpedals and peeks in]

...Didn't know we had a pool in here.

[Jadzia hears him and swims to the edge of the pool, running a hand through her hair to get it out of her eyes.]

The wonders of holo-technology. Though if you'd like a different scenario, I'd be happy to change the program.

[he looks curious, walking into the room and poking one of the palm leaves]

This is pretty advanced.

[here's me hoping i'm not awkward and that they don't have holo-tech like this in TOS xD]

[paradaxical]

[It amuses her to see him a little out of his depth]

Don't worry, I have the safety protocols in place. The palm isn't going to poke you back.

[He was just walking by, but this caught his eye so he's watching now. Oooh, swimming pool.]

I did not know zhat ve had zhat here.

[Dax spies the baby-faced Chekhov and blinks at him.]

Oh my. You're not really in Starfleet are you?

[wictorwictor]

[Yeep. He looks a bit affronted.]

Nyet, miss. I am Pavel Chekov, nawiagtor on zhe U.S.S. Enterprise.

[paradaxical]

And I thought Kirk looked a little young.

[She smiles and tries to put him at ease.]

Don't mind me, I'm just feeling very, very old.

[walks in, hoping she's not intruding but this is so much more interesting than the corridor]

[paradaxical]

Hello. It's alright, it's on public access mode.

[She smiles, leaning against the pool's edge and wiping the water out of her eyes]

[psychette10]

Hi! Nifty, a pool. How's the water?

[she walks up to the edge and takes off her shoes to sit and dip her feet in]

[paradaxical]

It's perfect. But if you'd like me to change it, I'd be happy to.

[She swims closer, giving the newcomer an easy smile]

[obsidian_tailor]

Lieutenant.

[From the doorway.]

[paradaxical]

Garak.

[She swims to the edge and gropes for her towel, wiping at her face]

I had a feeling I'd bump into you sooner or later.

Do cardassians like to swim?

[obsidian_tailor]

Not particularly. The water temperatures favoured by most would put us into shock.

[paradaxical]

The temperature can be changed. I'm always up for a hot spa.

[Somehow she doubts, though, that he's the sort to jump into a swimsuit and join her.]
