Alopex Observatory Picnic

Alopex Observatory Picnic Summary: Romantic Picnic for two under the stars Cast: Ector, Miranda, Air Date: Friday 2 September - 2653 AD Setting: Observatory <MCV Alopex> Shaped like a long, bullet-shaped bubble of plasteel housed just in front of and below the main weapon, the observatory gives the most unobstructed view of space in the entire ship. Bolted-down Pyracan native potted plants line winding walkways, and benches allow for quiet reflection. Two pivotable telescopes allow for stargazing, and a small pond holds a few fish. As a nod to practicality, however, curved ceramet blast doors can be seen at the edges of the plasteel and at one side of the pond, made to quickly slam shut during battle. An airlock-style door leads back towards the corridor. Contents: Exits: [CO] Corridor

Ector strides in wordlessly and takes Miranda hand and leads her out and says, "We've gotta get out follow me."

Miranda blinks and is pulled along, stumbling a bit at first, "What's going on? Why do we have to leave?"

Ector says as he hustles Miranda along, "On Sivad *we* used to be socialites ... here we hides in our quarters."

Miranda arches a brow and walks with him, moving a bit quickly to get up to his side, rather than being dragged along behind.

Miranda arrives from Corridor B <MCV Alopex>. Miranda has arrived.

There is a small picnic spread out next to the pond. Ector says, "We have mostly Pyracani fare made to resemble British dishes. Some sort of stuffed game fowl breast, Some potato-Tuber-cheese pastry, and Pyracani spring wine,"

Miranda pauses and gazes at the picnic, lips curling into a soft smile. Her gaze flicks to Ector as he speaks, then she steps toward him, and leans up on her toes to kiss his cheek, "Such a wonderfully sweet man."

Ector laughs and says, "Everything has a purpose. I'm hoping this will reboot you. You used to be a confident regal woman."

Miranda blushes lightly and looks away, "Yes, well. I grew up in that life. Here...I don't know anyone. We were thrown into a completely different life. It might take time for me to back to the way I was."

Ector kisses you. "You always land on your feet. I have every confidence that you *will* adapt."

Miranda smiles into the kiss and nods, "I will. It will just take time. I hope you can put up with me untill then."

Ector kisses. "Of course beloved. You are *the reason* I'm a soldier. I fight because you embody all the best things in the universe. Beauty, Courage, Intelligence, Flexibility, Bravery, Nobility of Spirit, Big Breasts, Enthralling Personality, Patience, Endurance ... and the list goes on."

Miranda kisses in return and blushes rather brightly, "You really know how to make a girl feel special." She pauses to glance down at her chest briefly, then smirks at you, "Just had to mention those, didn't you?"

Ector laughs, "Of course."

Miranda giggles and leans up for another kiss, "Such a silly, and amazingly wonderful man."

Ector kisses you and offers you some stuffed duck. He says, "We're gonna need to be working on our new home soon."

Miranda nods as she accepts the food, "I know. I miss having somewhere private to sleep. Somewhere we can be alone...And a place to have parties again."
