  1. Have you ever had one of those weeks, you know the kind I'm talking about. Let me give you one of mine from a few years ago as an example.

     

    I started that particular week off by losing my job, well I knew where it was it just wasn't my job anymore. Then figuring I'd be needing some cash I did my taxes and was surprised to find out that I OWED the IRS money, an adult viewers only tirade followed with many colorful words and not a small amount of yelling. Later in the week I had my car undergo mandatory Vehicle Emissions Testing but it turned out my car couldn't be tested until I had some work done on it. After I had the work done and spent an entire day reading 2 year old Golf Digest magazines I had my car tested again. I ended the week hoping someone would just hit me in the head with a heavy object so I could get it over with.

     

    I know we all have these kind of weeks so let's share. :lol:

     

    (side note, the mandatory Vehicle Emmisions Testing was discontinued the following month. :P )


  2. Sitting back and listening to Hannibal explain the map and the spells around it to Jeanway and Tina, Fenriz leans in when the two maps are spread out on the table. Seeing nothing again but two blank pieces of parchment he leans back and begins to nibble on some cherries in a small silver bowl setting on the table in front of him. Noticing the sleeping figure of nik seated across from him, Fenriz begins a game of bouncing cherries off of the dozing man's head. A sharp elbow in the ribs makes Fenriz stop and he turns his head to the side to see Jeanway giving him a stern look but with a smile in her eyes. Pushing the bowl aside he returns his attention back to the conversation at hand.


  3. Why do all of the aliens seem to have two arms, two legs, etc? Where are all the ameoba people, millipedoids, you know? The Xindi aquatics are the only aliens I've seen in a while that don't fit 2/2 criteria, I'm sure there have been more but where are they?


  4. Sitting at the elaborate table onboard the Pax, Fenriz and Jeanway pass the time waiting for the Ambassador to arrive talking with Hannibal and nibbling at the food in front of them. Popping grapes into his mouth one at a time Fenriz lets his gaze fall on the Enterprize floating silently next to the Pax, the Elusive still in the water on the starboard side. Little movement can be seen on board the Ambassador's ship except for a few of the crew pacing about on it's deck. Turning his attention back to the table Fenriz notices Jeanway's hand go to her belt and touch the pistol there, understanding her unease he is reassured by the weight of the pistol tucked into his own belt under his jacket. Suddenly once again he is conscious of his fine clothing presented to him by the Admiral and looks at her sitting next to him, radiant in her dress blues. Letting his eyes linger on her and with the small talk of the evening washing over him unheard he suddenly spots the dark shape of a large vessel fast approaching the Pax. Recognizing it's profile Fenriz cries out and leaps to his feet followed by Jeanway who reaches for her pistol. Rising to his feet Hannibal raises his hands towards them and reassures them " Peace, be calm. No harm can come to you aboard this vessel." Uncertain Fenriz and Jeanway remain standing ready for the worst, Hannibal stands beside Jeanway while nik seems unconcerned. The Centurion gives some silent order to his crew and walks over to the rail watching the Eevil Eye make it's approach. Coming to a stop a few feet from the Pax a voice calls out from the dark metal ship. " The Captain of the Eevil Eye would like to come aboard., he has a matter he would discuss with Admiral Jeanway." Before any answer could be made a gangplank extends from the Eevil Eye and across it strides WEAREBORG, the black caped Captain of the Eevil Eye.

    Stepping forward to place himself between WEAREBORG and Jeanway, Fenriz reaches for the pistol in his belt. Holding up his hand the captain of the Eevil Eye makes his offer to join Jeanway on her journey. Taken aback by this unexpected turn of events Fenriz looks at Jeanway and sees an equal amount of shock on her face. Recovering quickly Jeanway pulls Fenriz aside while Hannibal stands immovable his gaze fixed on WEAREBORG, nik and the Centurion are unreadable, their expressions blank. His voice dropping to a whisper Fenriz asks Jeanway "What do you think? I don't trust him." Looking at him Jeanway assures him "Neither do I, he may indeed be powerful but to have such a being on my ship. What assurances do I have that he would obey my orders?" Agreeing with her Fenriz adds " None, just his word but what option are we left with?"

    During this discussion a sudden thick fog envelopes the Pax and the three ships surrounding it, all onboard are alarmed and peer into the mist trying to see in the darkness. Off to in the distance behind the Elusive a light begins to glow like the rising sun when it's just below the horizon. Growing brighter a ship can be seen through the fog nearing the Pax, it is the source of the light and when it stops just a small distance away from the Pax the fog has been burned of and the ships all float in the water in a circle of light that turns the night into day. Standing on the deck is a woman with suntanned skin and hair a blaze of red. She steps of the side of her ship, a pure white vessel that almost seems to float above the water, and floats in midair. Hanging above the water she moves towards the Pax and lightly steps onto the deck. Surveying all around her she finally turns to WEAREBORG and begins to speak " WEAREBORG, I have been watching you and you indeed have great power but you are untrained and your power unfocused. There is great potential in you and great challenges ahead. I am Solarwind and I will teach that which you must know to face the coming trial if you will let me. Our path will lead us to the same destination as their's but we must take a different course, one they cannot travel. What say you?"


  5. I use pens and a keyboard if I'm writing. If I'm drawing I've been known to use just about anything that will make a mark on the surface I happen to be using, but I really like a very soft pencil, like a 4b or softer.


  6. Dozing in his cabin Fenriz wakes when someone knocks on his door. Rising to his feet he walks quietly to the door, expecting retaliation from Worf for today's earlier prank he opens the door cautiously. Surprised he sees a box sitting on the deck at his feet, picking it up he closes the door to his cabin behind him. Setting the box down Fenriz opens it warily expecting some manner of Klingon deviousness, but is pleasantly surprised to find that it contains a finely woven linen suit, ivory in color and with blue piping. Removing it from the box Fenriz strips out of his uniform and dresses, then he inspects himself in a small looking glass. Whistling to himself he remarks " I look almost respectable now" Smiling he sits down on the edge of his bunk and begins to polish his boots " So I wasn't the only one who made a small foray into the shops of Boston when in port." Thinking back he remembers the hectic few days when the Admiral took command of the Elusive and the manic frenzy that followed getting the ship ready to sail. In the confusion he was able to slip away and search the shops of Boston. After some hours searching he recalls finally finding what he was looking for in a small dark shop off of an alleyway "Not very impressive an establishment but then you sometimes find treasures in unexpected place." he thinks. Slipping on his boots he goes over to the small chest in the corner of his cabin and opens the small lock on it's latch. Taking a small package wrapped in blue silk from inside he closes it and puts the package in his jacket pocket. Patting it with his hand he opens the door of his cabin and steps into the passageway. Closing the door behind him he turns and takes the rises up to the deck where he meets Jeanway. Admiring her in her dress blues he takes his place beside her, after a moment she turns to him and gives him her second gift.

    After their second kiss he reaches into his jacket and draws out the silked wrapped package. " I have a gift for you as well Love" Taking the package from him she unwraps the silk to reveal a silver box with leaping dolphins inlaid on the lid in gold, opening the box her eyes light up, inside are two intricately carved ivory combs. Taking them combs out of the box she admires them " They're beautiful" she says. Taking the combs from the box Fenriz gently places them in her hair and admires her for a moment before he kisses her again. Standing next to her on the deck of the Elusive he ponders his love for her and laughs quietly to himself " Love is certainly a mysterious force, warms the coldest heart and makes a pirate buy from a slippery Ferengi shopkeeper without even haggling." Taking the Admiral's hand in his they stand together on the deck of the Elusive as it draws near the Pax and the Enterprize.


  7. Wolfing down the rest of his food Fenriz follows Admiral Jeanway up on deck. Standing slightly behind her while she gives orders to Riker and her new second officer, a man called Chakotay The ex-pirate studies the man, there's a quiet sense of confidence about the man, "Not quite as jovial as Riker was but the man certainly know his business." Fenriz notes to himself, " I wonder if he plays poker?"

    Saluting the Admiral Chakotay begins directing the crew in their work and they scramble to obey his orders. Moving forward Fenriz joins Jeanway at the rail overlooking the deck when he notices Worf come storming up the rises from below deck. Leaning on the rail Fenriz watches Worf stomp around the deck, growling at the crew. Chuckling to himself, Fenriz decides that paying the powder monkeys a silver dollar each to hide the Klingon's boots every night wasn't a waste of money. Seeing the commotion on deck Jeanway turns to Fenriz and calmly asks "I suppose you have no idea what this is all about do you?"

    "Oh yes, just a war of wills."he answers shrugging slightly.

    Roaring in frustration the Klingon disappears below deck continuing his search. Looking at the ex-pirate with a raised eyebrow her eyes smiling she asks " And that also explains why the door to your cabin was torn off it's hinges this morning?"

    Answering her with a smile she turns away from him and looks out over the deck, the crew readying the Elusive for the next leg of it's journey. Pushing aside the urge to laugh out loud she says "Well just see that this doesn't get out of hand, the ship's carpenter has better things to do then clean up after you and Worf."

    Bowing to her Fenriz stands next to her at the balustrade and puts his hand over hers on the rail and they look together out over the deck at the horizon in the distance. Still smiling Fenriz wonders exactly how the warrior will retaliate in this light-hearted war of practical jokes the two of them are waging against one another. Rubbing his sore shoulder from when he had to break down his cabin door when the Klingon nailed it shut on him, Fenriz laughs again to himself and looks out over the water. With it's sails full and a strong wind the Elusive is making good speed towards it's rendezvous with the Pax and the Enterprize.
