Elephant Wranglers Anonymous

[ensigntanner]

*staggers in, exhausted*

*hears water running in the shower*

The Elephant Not-Committee meeting tonight, right!

*strips quickly out of uniform and into sweats*

*padds over barefoot to terminal to check messages while he waits for the bathroom*

Comments

[mrostov]

*returns from the bathroom, wearing just a towel, chest still moist from the water*

*pads over to Stephen and looks over his shoulder*

Anything interesting?

*steps back an inch*

By the way, have you plugged in the replicator yet?

[ensigntanner]

*curses*

Fuck, no

*stands*

*pecks a kiss to Michael's cheek as he slips past*

You better get dressed, unless you want to give our guests a floorshow?

[mrostov]

*grins*

Gee, you don't want them to look?

[ensigntanner]

*looks up from his toolkit*

*holds Michael's look*

No.

[crewman_kelly]

*has rung the door chime at the Tanner-Rostov household*

[_cunningham_]

::is hard on kelly's heels behind her::

::is out of uniform, in jeans and a sweatshirt::

::hopes sweatshirt's hood is enough disguise if hears Phlox, Linnis, McCoy or Nightnurse in corridor, they don't want him out and about...::

::is the ELEPHANT meeting, can't miss it::

[ensigntanner]

*waves them in quickly*

*glances up and down the corridor*

*closes the door*

*sees Michael's already ushering Chris to the only seat*

*grins at Dave as he shrugs off his hood*

Glad you made it. Wanna have a go at the replicator?

[_cunningham_]

::pushes hood down as far as it goes, pushes sleeves up, grins goofily::

Replicator. Ah, yes, our personal friend for life.

::looks over at the most beautiful idea has ever seen, makes protein resequencers seem like dumbass kid stuff::

::is in awe::

And ya made it yerself. God, you are one geeeeeenius, buddy.

::reaches out, touches housing slowly, carefully, with one finger; is very careful NOT to press any buttons, that NEVER turns out well...::

Okay, baby, let's see whatcha got. Well, guys, give the man a food order to check this beauty out. I'd say we need to try tortilla chips, salsa, bean dip... and beer.

What else we need on the list?

And YOU, buddy... ::turns, looks up at The Blessed Creator of The Wonderful Machine::
-- this is YOUR baby, YOU show us how to program it. I'm not takin' any chances on blowin' up the ship just to see how well it makes nacho platters, ya know?

[ensigntanner]

*laughs*

You got it. But I'm not spending the whole evening babysitting it.

*pulls over the control padd and shows him how to drive*

I've programmed in some basics - cribbed a lot of the code from the notes I made when I was on Voyager - but I haven't really had a good go at debugging it yet. *hands over control*

I guess we'll find the glitches as we go. Wanna give it a shot now?

[ensignsato]

*is very very late*

*skids down the hall and around the corner*

*slams to a halt on the wall next to the right door*

*hits the chime*

[mrostov]

I'll go.

*walks over to the door and opens*

Hey, Hoshi. *smiles* Come on in.

[ensignsato]

Sorry I'm so late, it was...

*shakes head*

...not important. What did I miss?

*sees Chris eating*

*feels her own stomach rumble*

Mess hall after, stomach, I promise

*flops down on the floor, back resting against the bedframe*

What have I missed?

[crewman_kelly]

*munches*

Pretzels.

*smiles*
