FCO_LtJg_White says:
::quietly enters one of the stalls in the restroom and tries to examine the tail's form of attachment::

Host Cat says:
Action: The tail seems to have grown out of his...well...buttocks.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the woman dispassionately::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::eyes the feathers and turns to locate the culprit who placed them there::

Host Cat says:
Action: The Bolian beauty sighs and turns away::

FCO_LtJg_White says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees the XO and heads towards him::

Host Cat says:
Action: When white kicks the stall, he hurts his paw.

Host Cat says:
Action: There is no one behind the CO.

Host Cat says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::approaches the XO:: XO:  Mikal?

Host Cat says:
Action: Across the room, the CSO feels an itch as well...same area as the FCO.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at his hands::  OPS:  Do these look weird to you?  ::holds them out::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks at his foot turned paw, and sighs.  Than reaches in side his tunic and pulls out a small silver flask.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks:: XO:  What is that?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::wonders if the crew is getting into the spirit of things::

Host Cat says:
Action: As the OPS looks down, her antennae twitch.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  What is it?  What do you see?  ::gets scared::

FCO_LtJg_White says:

Host Cat says:
Action: White has turned into a bushy, red fox.....in a pink tutu.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Ummm...  ::points at her antennae::

Host Cat says:
Action: The captain goes to get a drink but his beak gets in the way.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::feels where the XO pointed:: Self:  oh my ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  What is happening to us!

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::thought he left the chicken suit at the office and looks for a straw or something of that nature::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Some party, huh.

Host Cat says:
Action: As Jordan goes to lower her hands, her wings pop out..bright and colorful.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks at the Tutu looks at himself and downs the rest of the flask quickly than struggles to put it back where it came from::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Oh yeah ... let's find the others and get out of here ...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets up but wonders if they'll be able to recognize anyone now::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::finds that his uniform tunic is MIA and sits down, than stands up again and taps where his Commbadge was before his uniform became a Tutu.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The XO rises to follow, and stumbles on his claws.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::finds she now has wings .. flaps them experimentally::

Host Cat says:
Action: Jordan appears to be a bright and colorful butterfly.......in chain mail.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::scurries to find the Captain using all of her 6 legs::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You’re gorgeous.  ::turns red::  I mean... you've always been gorgeous, but not quite in this way before.

Host Cat says:
Action: The captain now had a beautiful plume of feathers across his head.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks like a very angry Red fox in a pink tutu who keeps taping its chest::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Thank you ... ::doesn't know what else to say::

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal is now a  beautiful, multicolored gargoyle......wearing a baseball cap and a grass skirt.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::turns his head from side to side trying to jostle things just enough so he can see what is going on up top::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  You look ... different ....

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Why... thank you.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::walks out of the restroom and wonders how sharp his new teeth and claws are::

Host Cat says:
Action: The valiant science officer is a bright yellow dinosaur......in an orange ball gown.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::tries to make the best of this:: XO:  I bet you never danced with a butterfly before ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::quickly heads to the snacks to grabs some finger foods, while he still has fingers anyways::

Host Cat says:
Action: And the captain...no he is NOT Super chicken............

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Can't say I have.  ::still thinks this whole thing is a product of his diseased mind::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::flaps her wings rhythmically with the music::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::begins to think this is a sick joke thought up by a diseased mind...tries to figure out whom that might be::

Host Cat says:
Action: Instead, the captain is a scarlet Macaw.....in cowboy boots and a girdle.

Host Cat says:
Action: All around them people are dancing and partying.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::grunts slightly as the girdle just ain't quite his style::  Self: I look ridiculous.....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::thinks this is a joke:: Computer:  Computer, End Program!

Host Cat says:
Action: Nothing happens.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::taps where his commbadge was one last time than stalks to the point where they beamed down and 'sits'::

Host Cat says:
Action: He sits on his tail and it hurts.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::ignores the pain and waits::

Host Cat says:
Action: A passing Acarian.....pig....giggles as she runs past.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::decides to try to locate all the others ... tries to fly::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::begins to think of things to do the captain::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::struts his way to the dance floor... anyone this pretty should be strutting::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:

Host Cat says:
Action: Ops can float a bit.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::floats::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::flaps her wings harder::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::flaps his wings and shakes his tail feathers, because he a "pretty boy" and well.... has urges::

Host Cat says:
Action: A nearby Hawk eyes Mikal hungrily.

Host Cat says:
Action: All of the flapping is messing up the FCO's fur.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::decides he might as well get a drink::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::suddenly has the most intense craving for saltines and heads back to the food table::

Host Cat says:
Action: And the fun and frolicking continues.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::ignores the breeze and stays still::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::is dancing... with an elephant???::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::finds a platter full of cheese and crackers and helps himself to a hearty snack::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::is hungry so goes to find some nectar::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::stretches out and lays with his paws in front of him and curled up under him waiting for it all to be over.  Wondering whose ball this is.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The lovely party continues on into the night....and promptly at 0400 hours, everyone changes back to normal and the party is over.....until next year.
