RP: YSS Soyokaze Alls Quiet Tonight Aboard The Soyo

Messhall

As more and more people showed up, Elina finished up the song she was singing and had the 'band' go totally instrumental with 'Jingle bell Rock' then move into the more softer songs, like 'Silent Night, Holy Night' in the more traditional manner without the touch of rock to it. Sheslipped behind the band for privacy and quickly changed into her costume. A red mini-skirt with red vest with white fur trim. A santa hat with little jingle bells mixed in a big fluffy white yarn pom-pom.

She came out from behind the 'band' barefooted a she scampered over to the refreshment table to get some of the food. Smelling the food had made her hungry. She waved to Chiasa in passing her group of the crew. She paused and looked at Takeyu. She licked her lips at as she stared and almost drooled at the handsome man. ~~Gotta meet that man!~~ She thought as she forced herself to look away and stuff some of the food into her mouth.

Messhall

Takeyu listened and watched, ackoledging Chiasa's bow with a smile before his mind realized that he'd forgotten something.. something rather important. "Whoops!" he said to himself and smiled at Chiasa and the others before leaving to quickly return to his quarters. When he arrived he quickly fetched a dolly to use to bring the gifts he'd gotten before their mission had begun, the gifts in question all hidden at different places within his room just incase there had been any curiousity by the crew.

Putting the gifts onto the dolly, he rolled it back toward the Mess Hall, some of these gifts were large, others small; but it seemed like each crewmen had 'two' gifts, an item and a gift card. When he returend he wheeled it toward the tree and - once Misato was done, whom he gave a warm smile to - he started placing hisgifts under the tree. Takeyu was, however, mischevious; he had multi-wrapped some of the gifts.

Bors: A Nepleslian statuette that stood a foot tall, female and bore a sexy figure. Clothing on it, although the clothing could easily be removed. The second was a gift card with 10k credits on it for Bors to use at their desire.

With a flash of light, all of the ship's internal sensors flashed intruder alert for all of 1.32567 seconds. With another flash the alerts when dark and all through ship stockings were filled, and around the tree hundreds of gifts appeared with a loud chuckle filling the mess hall.

With each stocking was the normal, tooth brush and tooth past, a jar of jam and some crackers to go with them, a bag full of chocolate coins. at the very bottom was a ring box with a ship's ring sized to the oner's finger. It had a holo image of the ship engraved into the shiny light purple stone. around the stone was the ship's name and registry number. (picture class ring)

The gifts that piled up were all tagged with the owner's name.

Takeyu: Two plushies (Misato, dressed in a kimono and leather jacket {jacket removable}, same one she worn when they first started dating. Kumiko in her engineering uniform, grimy with fake oil and dust smugs.)

Ise: A plushie of all her sisters (five in total) all life sized (they are mini nekos) along with a shelve for them to sit on in her cabin.

Endoh: A Full set of Zesuaium sockets and wrenches, along with a Zesumaium case for them.

Chiasa: Professional sound sampling set-up. Looks like a DJ set up but with mic pick-ups and mini pop-up sound booth.

Mess Hall

"What the heck was that?" Chieko called out from an entrance - she had been working on making her way in when the alarms went off. The momentary surprise wearing over however, the young Minkan completed her entrance and called out with her hands in the air, "Hey, everybody!"

The scientist was wearing a red vinyl miniskirt with a black leather belt and brass buckle, and a long sleeve jacket of the same material that only extended down to the bottom of her rib cage. The front of the jacket was open to show off the lime green sports bra underneath. Topping the whole look off was a red Santa hat, black 4" heels, and cherry red lipstick. Chieko was looking for trouble.

"So where's the drinks?" she called out enthusiastically.

Messhall

Elina saw the electric guitar, eyes lit up after brief scare of the intruder. She walked over and picked it up. She looked it over in amazement. It was a Tripson. And these were rare to get hold of, unless you had the cash to burn. Eyes sparkled as she took it out of the case. She plucked a few strings with her little long fingernails.

She sighed at the clarity of the notes than sang out under deft touch. Slipping the strap over her shoulder and adjusting it, Elina got down to business of tuning it. The strap matched her rainbow color hair. Only much brighter and the stripes rang the length of the strap.

Elina moved to the volumetric stage and activated the wireless connection on the Tripson. She gave the signal to the band to follow her lead as she played along with them switching to a new song that she had in her programmed playlist of Christmas Songs and other easy listening to Rock.

She made the Tripson sing out beautifully as she added soft rifts into a mellow rock -n- roll song. She sang her favorite song where she could litery jam out, filling the air with music. It was an easy song to dance to if the crew wanted to dance.

Chiasa wondered at the theatrics. Obviously someone in command wanted everyone to be distracted. She also surmised that the present which 'appeared' must have already been there hidden by volumetrics. She had to admit though the attempt to create the illusion of a mythical being delivering gifts was different.

She looked at the stack of presents and considered her options. The tradition of giving gifts was still new to her. Most references she found had the events taking place between family, friends, and sometimes coworkers. Her initial intent had been to politely decline the gifts. But she realized that would be counter productive and degrade her social status. Besides at least one of the presents came from the commander. She had but one gift prepared because she only had one person that she felt warranted it by their time together. She walked over to the stage and placed a package on the edge that was identified as being for Elina.

Mess hall

Once the flash happened and she had seen all of the presents appear, Misato walked over to Takeyu and smiled. "Well Bossman what are you up to?" She winked at him and reached out for his hand slowly, trying to gauge if he'll let her hold it.

Mess hall

Takeyu did, grasping Misato's hand and smiling back at her. "Watching, hoping that everyone enjoys their gifts," he said and turned back toward the group; not one bit fazed at how the lights had flickered off the moment earlier or that an intruder alert had been called. "Hope you are enjoying things," he said to her.

Mess Hall

Kioko was shocked at the display that was in front of her "um.... I um...." she felt slightly guilty that she hadn't got anyone but Ume and Meiko as she felt a bond with those two more than the others as she worked with them. She looked down as she had wanted to give them their gifts later in the evening.


Kioko sat there and had no idea what to say or do now because of the presents for her.

Mess Hall

Elina, as she performed, gave Chiasa a quick heartfelt smile when making eye contact. She would open the gift later between sets as she and her volumetric band played for the crew of the ship. Everything was going nicely as she looked over the gathered crew having a good time with new found friends and fellow crewmates. This was her gift to the ship in general. One of her impromptu performances.

If this was on Bengeli V, She would have her band and original equipment along with sound and lighting crew to really rock the ship. But one must do with what one had. She put her heart and soul into her efforts so that the crew could have something memorial to remember and enjoy later.

Mess Hall

Nenene entered the compartment, a stack of boxes floating in her wake, guided by her gravitic field. She was used to Yule parties, especially since her sisters were all more than fond of them to an excess. She found the place decorated, full of food and a growing pile of gifts and crew when she arrived. She was a bit late to the party, but that was alright. She had gifts with her for the senior staff. She did not know them very well at all, besides their full SAINT files, she had ordered something from the ships fabrication bay she thought would go over well. For each of them, based on their official measurements on file, she had ordered a leather bomber jacket with an image of the Soyokaze embroidered large on the back. Like something a fighter pilot would wear in the old movies. She hoped they would like them and directed the floating mass of brightly wrapped and name tagged packages to set down by the yule tree.

That done, Nenene procured herself a mug of eggnog and found herself a comfy spot to sit.

Mess Hall

Sticking to his own holiday traditions, Bors stumbled into the mess hall after the flickering of the lights. Judging from his disposition, the slight redness on the side of his head, as well as the aroma of a night of drinking the nepleslian may have stumbled over something in the hall.

"Didn't know battle cruisers could have power outages." He grumbled to noone in particular as he found himself a glass of water.

Noticing the gifts with his name written on them he picked them up and unwrapped them with mild interest. He raised his eyebrows in approvement at Misato after opening her gift, he would pry have to let her shoot it later at the range. Moving on to the other gift he had a bit a of a chuckle at the note, thinking to himself he pry knew of a few places he could get away with smoking one or three.

Mess Hall

After a second of realizing she had been lost in the crowd, Chieko made her way to the bar and something special done up for her. While waiting, the biologist eyed about, noting Takeyu next to Misato, then Bors stumbling around like he had a few too many. She sighed lightly as she shook her head; with the Captain taken and the Nepleslian likely too blitzed to be helpful, the target list was feeling a little short. Perhaps the young woman would need to hunt down that pilot from before and see where he was at.

Finally retrieving her drink, the academic began looking around at the various boxes feeling a little silly for not having picked up much. The guilt only increased when she soon noticed a few boxes with her own name on them, causing Chieko to sigh and shake her head again before opening them. Misato's got a chuckle out of the Minkan and made her shake her head more - something will have to be done about this. Takeyu's gift, however, was interesting - though anachronistic to her access to SACN and SYNC - but that also meant it could be referenced without a connection. Besides, there are a few in the list that she liked looking at now and then anyway - and she could be more discreet with this.

Chieko, however, had no idea where the cooking setup came from. Was it a comment on her tastes or a subtle suggestion to get married like what her mother would give? Further puzzling was that it came from Santa, which would then mean anyone; and if it were some guy on the crew, it would be cute, though a warning. The biologist then began wondering if she needed to be careful from now on as to what image she projected. She had already endured three years of attempted omiai by her parents and would need to keep an eye out for anyone else trying to do the same.

Mess Hall

Settled in a cubby little corner clad in a christmas tree themed skirt along with a big ol' fluffy shirt of similar design with little plushie ornaments. Nuai was fiddling with a piece of wrapped candy, secret-like. Watching with a nervous grin, the smiles lighting up at gifts unveiled, her rainbow colored orbs moving all about in attempts to take in the new scene. After a moment she finally popped the little candy in her mouth and took an empty seat nearby. A glass of eggy nog soon in hand as she relaxed in her new seat with a soft rumble of pleasure. Her tail swaying in tune with the music as fingers of her free hand drummed upon her belly.

"I like these kinda parties." Nuai thought as she sipped at the godly concotion. Mmmm... Mmmm... Good god this stuff is minty. Nuai bottomed up the drink a moment later. Soon to go get another and load up on a plate of the holiday grub. Taking to her seat once more, she quite literally dug in, a half a slab of ham diced to cubes and gone with the wind.
