260 — Olympics mingle
[ It is a gorgeous day down here at the bottom of the sea and what better day to have an Olympics! The obstacle course is set up, the towels are fluffed, the medals have been polished to a high sheen and every orange within sight has been sliced.

Okay. Maybe not every orange. A lot of them. Enough to fuel a whole prison full of athletes, so athlete away! We can't waste all these oranges! ]

((ooc: Event information can be found here! There will be no individual threads for the separate events, but you are encouraged and welcome to detail in your headers or starter tags what your characters are up to! ))

[ seven ran the obstacle course as well, but it wasn't that much of a challenge for her. being borg meant that she was faster, stronger, and far more quick and agile than any normal human being could ever hope to be. not even earth's infamous augments stood a chance of rivaling her physically or mentally. emotionally was another story, but the genetically altered were typically allowed to live and grow, whereas she "grew up" inside a borg maturation chamber and spent the better part of the existence as a mindless drone. but that was neither here nor there at the moment.

and at the moment, she would rather be anywhere but here. seven's making the attempt to participate, mingling because it is what's expected of her (albeit expectations of those who are not present), and not at all because she wants to. crowds make her uneasy, and she finds competition irrelevant in spite of the fact that ensign paris is often successful at luring her into participating in them. paris is not here, nor are any of her crew mates. just her, the android she's courting, and people from a ship whose name will forever stand out amongst the thousands of voices that make up the collective consciousness. ]

You did well. [ awkward compliment is awkward, but she's trying. forever trying. trying because they want her to try, trying because she doesn't know what to do other than try. ]

	Well, when you don't feel like climbing over things just cheat, right? [Some variation of a Kobayashi Maru reference goes here? Kitty turns her head a bit more thoughtfully toward Seven after the first response rolls off with little consideration.] I wouldn't have expected you to participate.

	Do I not seem like one who would participate in these events? [ she isn't insulted, merely curious. it's a double standard, when her crew expects something out of her only to react with surprise and disbelief when she actually meets those expectations. baffling. humans were quite contradictory beings when they felt the need to be so. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess not. I suppose I don't know a lot about what you would or wouldn't like doing though. Big Olympic fan? Do they have those in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent)
