WHO: Mary and Lucifer
WHEN: 226404.08, afternoon
WHERE: The bookstore at the Yorktown base
SUMMARY: Mary runs into Lucifer for the first time since his table-throwing fit.
WARNINGS: TBD

It was funny to Mary how this store was billed as some sort of antiques shop when many of the books in it were written after her time. It made her feel like an antique herself, but Mary pushed through it. It was simply so nice to have real books with paper pages again. Reading on the PADD just wasn't the same. After Lucifer had sent her the copy of Pride & Prejudice as a make-up gift, she knew that she would have to visit the store to stock up on more books before they left the base.

Another thing that was odd to her was how much reading she was doing here. Mary did read at home, but it wasn't an incredible passion for her. Maths had always stimulated her more. Perhaps it was simply that there wasn't much for her to do on board. Joining the Traveler Liaison Committee had helped her a bit, but she still needed things to do in her downtime.

She had picked up a copy of The Great Gatsby off of the shelf. It was a book that she had heard a lot about since her arrival, and the fact that it was apparently about the era she lived in fascinated her, even if it was written after her time. Mary was perusing the back cover when movement caught her eye. Oh God. It was Lucifer. She tried to move away around the other side of the bookshelf, but she was sure that he had seen her. Mary was absolutely not looking forward to this conversation.

	The hair stood up on the back of her neck. She hated how she couldn't help the fact that she was attracted to him, at least sexually. He talked a good game and that made her curious. Mary glanced at him as he walked by while she waited in line to purchase her book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There, Lucifer had gotten to her. She either needed to tell him no, mean it, and not keep flirting with the idea of sleeping with him, or she needed to sleep with him and satiate her curiosity. Of course, that option could prove dangerous, if she intended for it to only be a one time thing.

Lucifer waved and said goodbye, and then ducked out of the shop.

Really, Mary probably just needed to sleep with Kirk. He was certain the Captain didn't have the attitude and confidence to assume command at such a young age without at least something to show for it.
