==== Deck 4, Holodeck outside of TIC ====

Sav was standing outside a Holodeck on Deck 4, nearby the TIC. She was trying to figure out if there was any program adventure she wanted to try. Well, if Melody had been there, several, but right now, Sav just didn't feel like doing anything alone. Then, her PADD beeped. She took it out of her sashe and found a message to her on it. It seems the real CAG Quarters on Deck 2 had finally been cleared for her to take possession of.

Sav left the holodeck entrance and headed for the turbolift. She wanted to go by and visit Melody to tell her the news, but felt too guilty to do so. However, there was a couple of people she could call.

=/\= Crewman Aumento, Crewman Rhoderick, Lieutenant Tillatix. Say, Ladies, my quarters on Deck 2 just came through. Both or either of you want to help me pack and move? We can talk shop, boys, movies, or whatever. =/\=

Wyn tapped her comm badge "Hey there Lieutenant, sure I'm on my way. Do you need me to bring anything?"

=/\= Mainly your fuzzy butt, two hands, and latest news. And, ifin yah got one, a bottle of wine. Ah only have Scotch. See yah soon.=/\= In answering Wyn, Sav felt relaxed and went into her semi-swamp dialect speech.

Turning up at Save'ena's quarters, Wyn pressed the door chime and entered. "Are you all ready for the move?" She asked as she came in, then noticed that her mood was somewhat downbeat. "You feeling ok?"

Sav snorted out in humor, "Yes, Ah be fine. It has just been a day of worse and worse, hard tah bounce back, tis all." She left off that she really wished Melody could be here as well, which affected her mood and Wyn had definitely picked up on. Sav swept her arm, "At least it will be an easy move. Most personal stuff still packed away inah L'Tandrey duffle bag, just need tea set and clothes packed."

"Not sure the customs where you're all from, but on earth the payment for helping someone move is pizza." Brenda said as she walked into her room and cracked her knuckles. She was out of her duty uniform, but unlike the dress from last night, today was all about utility. Simple black shirt and dark navy blue sweat pants.

Sav exclaimed out, "Brenda, yah made it. We'un girls arah together again." Sav looked over at the replicator, "Ana pizza, comin up. VIP quarters has very good replicator. Sorry for not havin it ata ready."

She looked at the other two ladies and shrugged. "Did I miss something?" She looked full on at Sav'ena. "You didn't go and lock up any other of your body parts already did you?"

Sav rolled her eyes, then smirked, "Nah, muzzle still ina shop ana musk gland removal scheduled for tamorrow." She inhaled and exhaled a breath of air, "Nah, Wyn just picked up ona me melancholy at missin havin Melody here fer tah move as well."

Wyn looked at her "So...... You and Melody is it? What's going on there? Something you would like to share with us? Wyn's tail flicked as she asked the question, trying to sound all innocent but there a subtle smile forming on her face.

Sav churred gently, "She tis tah one tah first befriend meah on board. We be havin a growin friendship, but within her bein confined tah quarters, she canna join in."

Brenda sighed a bit. She still wasn't sure all the details, and really it wasn't ger place to know or ask. That was one of the perks and curses of being at the bottom of the totem pole.

Sav chuckled as she went to the replicator, "Okay, name yer pizza. On packin, t'ere is t'e closet ana dresser, Starfleet Duty bag folded in closet. Ah call packin t'e fresher." The last thing Sav wanted was for Brenda, or Wyn, especially Wyn, to see her not-so-ordinary special toiletries for dealing with her mesh and the mess that always made.

Wyn thought for a moment "I've never really tried pizza....... then continued, reacting from the looks she was getting "Hey! I just never got round to it. What do you recommend. Something with some meat on?"

"Oh, all the meats." Brenda said, regaining her smile. "Hawaiian is good too. And I've even had targ on pizza, goes amazing with blue cheese and a good hot sauce."

Sav setup the controls, "Ona meat lovers, ona specialty pesto/spinach/mushroom/italian sausage, and ona blue cheese an targ comin right up." As the replicator lit up and began doing its thing, Sav now said, "Isn't typical drink fer pizza beer? Ah love ah good porter meself. You'all?"

Brenda couldn't help but laugh. "Oh my Sav, I think I've created a monster. You're a bit of a lush dear."

Sav churred lightly at Brenda calling her a lush. She had heard the term before applied to others, but had paid it no mind as her ESL training had defined it as 'growing vigorously especially with luxuriant foliage' or 'appealing, opulent, sumptuous.' However, the term had been applied to an academy lady who always got drunk, flirted, and would take a guy home, even though she was married. As Sav was touching the replicator, she requested definitions of Lush, and the slang library had the clue. It came back with 'one who becomes intoxicated after a few drinks and flirts with everyone'. That struck hard into Sav's very core as that was not how she wanted to be. She would apologize to Brenda later for being that way.

Sav brought out the first pizza and then it left her hands and moved over to the table of its own accord. Sav called out, "Meatlover's ready... next one comin.. so who calls what fer packin?" She 'punched' in the commands for the specialty pizza, even though it was actually random hits on the replicator as she had already mentally requested all three pizza's.

Wyn let out a low whistle "That's some impressive skills there and i'll take a beer too."

"Pfft, I don't care." Brenda said in between bites. "You tag it, I'll drag it."

Sav took the second pizza out of the replicator, "Second one, t'e third comin' up." It too, floated over to the table via her telekinetics. She was not sure about the third pizza, but when she communicated the information to the replicator, it chimed with knowing the meat and cheese and began its process. Sav said in a soft voice, "Blue Cheese.... hrmmm." She had hated blue cheese, too strong in smell and taste for her, but that was before her surgeries. But now, she didn't remember. She may have had it and not realized it. Terrans seemed to love, or hate it. Most Caitians couldn't stand it, but a few did, for chutzpa more than anything else, or so it seemed. While waiting, she said to the two at the table, "Ah'll get a tag ona L'Tandrey Duty Bag fer yah tah drag. It stilla packed. Dresser ana Closet fit ina Starfleet Duffle Bag. Toiletries fit ina top of L'Tandrey bag, but hava their own case ana so can be carried on their own, ayuh."


The replicator chimed and Sav brought out the third pizza. She took it to the table, and slid it down, carefully watching Wyn. As the Boda was in full command of her senses, Sav would follow suite with how her more sensitive than Terran friend handled that pizza with its Blue Cheese and Targ. Sav would love to taste the Targ, but was not sure about the Blue Cheese and if it was toned down by being cooked into a pizza or not.

Wyn looked at her pizza a bit suspiciously and gave it an exploratory sniff. She took a bite and nodded slowly "Hmmmmmmm. Not bad" She looked around "Any word on that beer?"

Sav smiled, "Comin' up, Wyn." She returned to the replicator and created three pitchers, one porter, one amber, and one ale. She brought them back to the table. "Here y'all go, beer."

Sav sat down and took a slice of Specialty to begin eating. As she did, she smiled to Wyn and Brenda. Then, she remembered the definition of 'lush' the computer gave her, and knew she had to make it right with Brenda. Between bites of her pizza, she looked at Brenda and then carefully said, "Hey Brenda, I'm sorry for being a lush. I don't remember taking a drink and then trying to steal the guy your trying to date. As far as I knew, I was a good wingman, at least from how others said. I.. guess I'm not, eh, so sorry, and I will work on not doing that, honest."

Brenda almost choked on her pizza as she coughed hard. She stared at Sav in disbelief for a moment before bursting out in a howl of laughter. Brenda pounded her first on the table as she she continued to laugh, until she finally slipped and fell right off her chair and onto the floor. "Oh my GOD!" She managed to finally get out when she caught her breath. Her cheeks were a bright red and they hurt from laughing so hard. "Sav! That is not what I meant!" She tapped her ear and laughed again. "Damn translator must be on the fritz if you thought that..."

Sav looked on in concern with the cough, then stared in confusion at the burst of laughter from Brenda, and then her mouth dropped open as Brenda fell to the floor. She leaned over to look over Brenda to make sure she wasn't hurt, and then was perplexed at what Brenda said about the translator. She responded, "Ummm, the computer definition for lush is: one who becomes intoxicated after a few drinks and flirts with everyone. As that term is not in Mephetian language, and I saw 'lushes' at the academy trying to steal other girls boyfriends, I went with the translation and experience."

"Sav," Brenda said with a sigh and a lingering chuckle. "I was only commenting that you seem to have an affinity for the drink, almost as much as I do. But nothing about trying to steal guys or being a wingman." Brenda shook her head, still chuckling softly. "And trust me hun, if I'm interested in a guy and someone manages to 'steal' him away, it's a good thing because it means he was never worth my time to begin with."

Sav glanced at Wyn, then returned her gaze to Brenda. "Okay, ifin yah say so." She shook her head and started to say, "Anyone can ste.. ah, never mind." She smiled to Wyn, winking, as she said, "You never have that problem, right Wyn?"

As Wyn had just taken a large bite of her pizza, she found herself with her mouth full and so had to answer with a shake of her head.

"You know... I feel like the odd one out here." Brenda said after getting back to her pizza. "I mean, you both have tails... and I think that is SO COOL. As I kid, I always wondered what it would be like to have a tail, but knowing my luck I'd probably end up tripping myself up with it."

Sav snorted out in humor, "And that's because you don't have one. When you do, it's just like having an arm or leg.. you know it and soon forget about it as it has always been there and you just use it." She grinned at Wyn, "Wyn's tail can grab things and point, besides being used in self defense for tripping. Right girl?"

Wyn's tail had surreptitiously been snaking itself around a bottle of beer that she had spotted and craftily lifting towards her when the subject came up. She stopped and looked slightly embarrassed, like being caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "I've never though about it........ It's always just been there. It can be useful" she added smiling and to re enforce that, her tail brought her beer over which she took and twisted off the cap and took a big gulp which promptly made her start coughing.

Sav churred out a light laugh, "Easy, there, Wyn. Yah, its a wonder when yah begin tah think about movin' somethin' that yah been movin naturally all yer life." She glanced at Brenda, "Should we graft one ona Brenda? Watch the fun as she knocks over everathin around her asa she learns to have it be natural, like her arm or leg?"

"I don't need a tail to knock everything over. I'm a bit of a klutz with the limbs I have now." Brenda sighed but then smiled. "I'd be a one woman wreaking crew."

Sav shook her tail twice, "At my end, my tail is luxurious, is used to communicate, and is a protective cover. No such thing as grabbing or such, different purpose than Wyn's." She grabbed her final piece of pizza, "So, Brenda, it begs the question... what tail type did you want? Or did you ever think about it?"

"Something useful I suppose." She nodded to Wyn. "Like yours. That way I can provide cover fire and do hand to hand combat at the same time." A smile came across Brendas face. "Or triple weld some phasers... hehehe."

Sav finished her beer, then said, "Leave things behind, I'll clean up. So, I call dibs on fresher, what do you two want?"

"Being a klutz, I'll get the non-breakables." Brenda said as she headed to the bedroom and grabbed the bags of clothes.

Sav stood up and the leftovers whisked of their own accord to a try to be taken to the replicator to be broken down later. Sav suddenly churr-laughed, "And, Ah don't tink about me telekinetic tentacles, ah just use them, like me arms and hands. When her born with something ana use it all yer life, it just is." She glanced at Wyn, "Yah got t'e L'Tandrey Duty Bag, tis in t'e closet, still packed." Sav now moved into the fresher, saying, "Only be a couple of minutes." as she packed up her specialty toiletries.

Wyn went to the closet and found the bag. By the time Sav had returned she had moved the bag out into the main room to wait on Brenda and Sav.

"Is there anything else" Wyn turned as Sav came back into the room, her whiskers twitched slightly.

Sav moved over to the tea set, closing it up, and then placed her toiletry bag on top. "When Brenda gets out here with the duffle bag, we'll be able to proceed up to deck 2 and my new quarters."

Brenda came out from the bedroom with the duffle bag. The three made their way to Senior Officer quarters on deck two where the newly revamped CAG quarters was waiting for its new occupant.
