"A Brief Respite? - Part 2"
Host Susan says:
With the crew of the Don Johnson relieved for shore leave on Risa.  Most of the crew have disembarked and checked into the resort that had been reserved for their holidays.
Host Susan says:
The Captain and a skeleton crew has continued on with the ship to Starbase G-5 for repairs and fitting of new equipment for an upcoming mission.
Host Susan says:
Those on Risa have been experiencing quiet a varied bit of weather, from balmy sun to a blizzard that has set in with the failure of the planets environmental controls.  Risan's continue to promise a return to normal within minutes, but after 18 hours and nearly 22 inches of snow little hope for a sunny vacation remains.

XO_Lt_Arca says:
::walks around the hotel looking out the windows at the snow buidling up::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The view outside the resort remains the same.  Snow covered beaches and an overcast sky dominate the view though the snowfall seems to be slowing down.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Looks out the window, and he feels an urge to go skiing, since his second Host, Meranda, loved to ski.  But, then he remembers how his first host, Cerellin, broke her leg while skiing.  He decides to go back to reading::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Self: These internal memories from previous hosts can drive a person crazy at times.
Host Dajagna says:
::looks out the window before returning to the bar::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Self: I bet the engineers are cursing up a storm
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Sits and reads an old Earth novel, "War and Peace"::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::makes his way to the bar and pulls up a stool::
Host Dajagna says:
::orders a hot Rigellian tea, then walks over to where one of the visitors is reading:: CTO: What do you have there?
Host Dajagna says:
<Bartender> XO: What can I get for you?  ::sends Dajagna's drink over to her::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Dajagna: Its an old book that an old friend gave me.  I must admit that I am not all that interested in it.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks over his shoulder and see the CTO::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Thinks for a moment:: Dajagna: Actually, now that I think about it,  the book was from an old friend of Cerellin's, not mine.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Dajagna: Camomile Tea please
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Sets the book down::
Host Dajagna says:
::grins:: CTO: Cerellin?  Could I see it, I've never seen a paper book...I've heard of them though.
Host Dajagna says:
<Bartender> ::fixes the tea and takes it over to him:: XO: Here you go sir?  Are you sure that you don't want anything stronger?
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Blushes slightly:: Dajagna: Sorry, I forget that I am not the only Trill around here.  Cerellin was the first Mahl host.  ::Hands the book over:: Here, I hope you find it more interesting than I do.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Bartender: No thank you the tea will be fine ::stands up and has a seat next to the CTO::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Good day, Sir.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: Good day, so Joran how goes the book.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: It’s very dull.  I prefer something a bit more action packed. 
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::places his cup down on the table:: CTO: I always like to read about the United States Civil War. It was a different type of fighting more honorable
Host Dajagna says:
::holds the book and flips through the pages, quickly scanning the first and last page...but delicately fingering each page, nodding to the rest of what he said::  CTO: Fascinating, I don't understand the story but the words on the paper is fascinating.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Wanders back into the lounge after a nap in her room and replicating some warmer clothes.::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Looks out the window again:: XO: Since my injuries, and subsequent recovery, I have had problems distinguishing who's memories are whos.  I look out the window, and want to Ski.  However, I hate to ski.  Both previous hosts loved it, however.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Dajagna: Last time I was a real book was in a museum on Earth
Host Dajagna says:
CTO/XO: Tell me, do you like the snow?  It appears to be stopping.  Soon all will be able to return to the sun.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Dajagna: Well, you are very welcome to read it.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Dajagna: Personally, I hate snow...I think.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Dajagna/CTO: I love the snow ::smiles at the Mahl::
Host Dajagna says:
ALL: I love it, though we have little of it.  
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: I hope you don't worry about what I just told you.  I have all my memories.  I just get confused as to who originated them.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Looks out the window:: Dajagna: Well, it looks like you got it all at one time.
Host Dajagna says:
All: Perhaps there will be some snow sports after the weather changes?...if you will excuse me
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Nods at Dajagna::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: Joran tell you the truth I don't know how you guys do it will al those memories in you head. Yet if you do your duty you'll have no problems from me
Host Dajagna says:
::stands and walks across the room:: CNS: Would you like to join the men there?  There are two seats remaining at their table.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: Wonder how the rest of the crew are enjoying the shore leave
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
Dajagna: No thank-you.  I'd like a quiet place in a corner where I can observe.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: When we are first joined, it is a very confusing time.  Sorting out all the memories takes some time.  THats how I have felt lately.  But, the confusion is slowly fading.
Host Dajagna says:
ACTION:  The view through the lounge windows indicates that the snow has ceased to fall.
Bryce says:
<Disgruntled guest> All: How could this be happening! If I wanted miserable weather I would have gone to Ferenginar.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Well, if they like cold, and snow, they are in heaven.  Personally, I prefer a sunny beach.
Host Dajagna says:
CNS: There is a small table back here.  May I get you something?
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks over at the counselor and wonders if everything is alright::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Disgruntled Guest: Settle down, Sir.  We are all in the same boat here.  But, I can't see how anyone in their right mind would want to go to Ferenginar.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
Dajagna: A double chocolate hot chocolate with marshmellows.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Goes to the seat.::
Host Dajagna says:
CNS: I'll be back in a moment with your beverage.  ::moves toward the upset guest:: Guest: Is there something that I can get you?
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Some people just cant seem to do anything but complain.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks back at the CTO and nodds at him: CTO: Becareful what you say out long Joran you may have to take back those words. Yet I don't like rain and I hear that what it does over there rain.
Bryce says:
CTO: Well it couldn't be any worse than here rigth now.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Disgruntled Guest: But, that is where you are wrong.  You would be surrounded by Ferengi if you were there.
Host Dajagna says:
::orders the drinks and takes one to the raging guest, then walks over to the Counselor's table:: CNS: Here you go, miss.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
Bryce: It can always get worse
Host Dajagna says:
::sits down with her:: CNS: You seem distracted, is there anything that I can do to help or is there something you wish to talk about.  Sometimes it helps to speak to a total stranger.
Bryce says:
CTO: Yes there could be an avalanche, I suppose.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::drinks out of his cup and places it back down:: CTO: Joran I like your attitude. If something doesn't go your way you make the best of it
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Sir, I always try to say and do the proper things, Sir.  But, I hate snow.  I can't quite figure out what good can come of it.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
Dajagna: I've got a lot on my mind is all. ::Sips the hot drink gingerly.::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: Well lets see you have snow angels, snowmen, snowball fights, shoud I continue? ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Snow balls?
Host Dajagna says:
CNS: Let me guess, you are the one that people turn to with their problems, while you have no one to turn to with your own?
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: With all those past lifes and you don't know what a snowball is.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Looks out the window again:: XO: That stuff doesnt look like a ball in any way, nor does it look like it can be properly thrown.
Host Dajagna says:
ACTION:  The wind can be heard blowing strongly outside, workers come in and begin boarding windows, and what little of the sky that is visible is bright blue.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Well, my parents were warm weather people.  We never had snow where we lived.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::smiles then stand up and opens the door a crack::
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
Dajagna: Well sort of.  It seems that lately my advice isn't taken seriously.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Watches the XO, bewildered::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::grabs a hand full of snow and models it into a snowball and threw it over at Mahl:: CTO: You were saying?
Bryce says:
XO: Hey your letting out all the heat!
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::close the door and makes his way back to his seat::
Host Dajagna says:
<Kaon> XO: Please, sir...Stand back, there has been another change in our weather.  For your safety, you must stay away from all windows and doors.  ::quickly shuts the door and baracades it.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Gets thwapped by a snowball, stands there with snow melting, and dripping off of him::
Host Dajagna says:
<edit add :: to the end of last::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: Now what’s going on?
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Puts the thought of "snow balls" in the back of his mind, determined to get the XO back::
Host Dajagna says:
CNS: Yes, it seems to go that way for healers of the mind as well as healers for the body.  Everyone thinks that they know best for themselves when someone from the outside sees things differently and may understand more.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Looks toward the door.:: Dajagna: Now what's going on?
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::takes his seat and drinks some more of his tea:: CTO: Now do you get the idea of a snowball?
Host Dajagna says:
ACTION:  A loud crash is heard outside and the whole building feels like it is shaking.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::grabs the table as the building starts to shake::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
XO: I think I understand, Sir.  We will find out in time.
Host Dajagna says:
ALL:  Hold on!
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Looks at Dajagna:: Dajagna: What's happening?
Bryce says:
::Tries to find a place to hide in safety::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks around as the shaking continues::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Gets a worried look on his face:: XO: See what I meant when I said that shore leave and I don't get along?
Host Dajagna says:
::shakes her head:: ALL: I don't know, but the only time I remember the building shaking like this was with gale force winds that brought the waves up against the side of the building.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Her instincts and training kick in.::
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::voice crack due to the shaking:: CTO: Well remind me to never allow you to have shore leave again::
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
All: Everyone to the most interior place and take cover.
Host Dajagna says:
<Kaon> ALL: The sudden temperature change has caused flash flooding from all the snows.  The repairs have been completed and all is being set to right.
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
All: And move to a higher level.
Host Dajagna says:
::nods to the Counselor:: All: She's right
Bryce says:
CTO: Well it's just a tsunami and not an avalanche.... just great.
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Heads for higher grounds, like the upper floors of the hotel::
CNS_LtJg_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Starts leading the way up a stairwell.::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
Bryce: You can stay down there and enjoy the water if you wish.  I am heading up higher.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
::follows the counselor instructions and move up the stairwell::
Host Dajagna says:
::follows close to the rear as the sound of water lashing at the walls echo through the lounge::
CTO_Lt_Mahl says:
::Stops in his tracks:: XO: What if that water washes away the supports for the hotel?  This entire place can crash down on us!  ::Begins to panic a bit::
Host Dajagna says:
ACTION:  A loud moaning is heard throughout the building.
XO_Lt_Arca says:
CTO: Lieutenant pull yourself together
Host Dajagna says:
