	As expected, Tony had already started the party off, probably in his quarters prior to showing up. Now he's got a margarita in one hand and some Maracas in the other, and is definitely in the partying mood. He looks like he might be open to a talk or a dance or another margarita.

Cinco de Mayo wasn't a holiday that Ginny had ever heard of for a couple of different reasons, but she had done a bit of research on the PADD to get an idea of what it was about. Of course, the PADD had talked about a battle and made the whole thing seem very somber but as she walked into the Lounge it was obvious that this was the opposite.

Spotting Tony among the crowd, Ginny quickly walked over and gave him a grin, gesturing to the drink and the maracas he was holding, not that she knew what they were. "You look like you've got your hands full."

If they were having serious discussions Tony would definitely agree that the general idea of the holiday was some watered down Americanized deal that mainly allowed people to have a reason to drink margaritas and eat salsa.

He didn't really care though, because he was a dick. And also because he loved margaritas and salsa.

Tony grinned at Ginny as she walked up, and held up the hand that had the Maracas in it. "I can make one or both of these hands empty, just for you, if you like."

"Oh no, that's okay. I'd hate to interrupt your fun." Ginny said with a laugh, turning around to spot a few of the drinks similar to what Tony had in his hand. She definitely had never tried anything like this before and judging from the smell it was going to taste quite different than the other muggle alcohol she'd had since being on the Enterprise.

But you only lived once and she took a sip, screwing up her face at the taste for a moment before deciding that, really, it wasn't that bad.

	"Make sure you get some of the salt on the rim there," Tony pointed out, indicating the rim of the glass with this Maracas. "Tequila's kind of like, uhm. You know, an acquired taste. After you finish this first one, though, it probably won't really matter. But try the red one next. It's like sweet and tangy. Super nice." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Root leaned against the bar, watching Tony make a fool of himself and wondered if anyone on the ship even knew the original point of the holiday. Or that Maracas weren't technically Mexican. Still, she wasn't going to turn down tequila. She lifted her drink to her lips and knocked it back. (Reply to this) (Thread)

This party definitely looked fun. Anna had only been to a few since the Castle gates had remained open, and none of them had involved things you could hit to make candy come out of them on my goodness. Or Maracas, whatever those were. Or big hats. Or spicy foods.

What she did know was that the Lounge was for Adult Drinks and that Drinking age was 18. Since she was 19, that meant she could try some. She took a seat next to Root, and said, "Do you think the red ones taste like strawberies?"

	"I love strawberries!! We put them in the lemonade sometimes, or just eat them with whipped up cream, or... I bet they'd be amazing in adult drinks!" Anna replied, animatedly. She was making more new friends, and that was always fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Root/Anna the_interface 2017-05-06 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"Aren't you adorable." Root swiveled to the bartender. "Two of that strawberry concoction. You know the one." She gave a wink, which involved both of her eyes, then turned and double-eye winked at Anna. "My treat!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I thought there was no money here?" Anna asked, her face only momentarily confused. This person seemed very nice and had called her 'sweetie' and 'adorable' and Anna was easily won over by people.

She bounced in her seat a bit and pulled over a dish of the red stuff that people were calling 'salsa'. She noticed other people were dipping triangle shaped bread things into it, but she put a finger in first and licked it, just to taste. "Woah..."

Tony, from nearby, pointed at Anna's dish of salsa and said "Okay, finger in the salsa. That bowls hers now." To which, Anna replied, "what?"

"It's complicated." Root patted Anna's knee, then picked up a tortilla and showed her how to dip it. "Now, this isn't at all like real Mexican food. It's kind of tame. Just don't let that Ensign over there convince you to try his hot sauce. It'll burn your tongue off."

She rolled her eyes at Tony. "He does have a point. It's rude to stick your finger in shared food."

And yet, she did the same, making eye contact with Tony as she sucked it off of her finger.

Pike and Open

He wasn't normally one for big parties, but there was something to be said for inspiring crew - and civilian - morale. Pike still moved a bit slowly, relying on the cane as he made his way to the lounge, getting himself a glass of good tequila on the rocks. He wasn't a fan of margaritas - hadn't been since that incident in his second year. He settled down at one of the tables and sipped his drink, curious about the other travelers on this ship.

Now there was an interesting gentleman, Lomea thought. She'd been nursing the same glass of tequila since she'd arrived, studying how everyone behaved in this kind of setting. The right kind of whispers to the right kind of people in the right stage of inebriation could lead to fantastic entertainment. Or something useful. She wasn't particular which.

"Admiral Pike, is it?" She approached the table, regarding him curiously. She wore an elegant red dress commandingly.

	"It is," Pike said with a slight smile and a nod of his head. He'd only been out of medical for a few days and he hadn't had time to learn everyone's names yet. Something he intended to do because they needed to know everyone on this ship - strengths and weaknesses. "I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage. I don't think we've met yet. You are?"

	Pike/Lomea daretodobetter 2017-05-06 02:51 am UTC (link)
	He arched one grey eyebrow at the woman in front of him. No nonsense and part of her reminded him of Number One. "Lomea then. It's a pleasure. Care to join me?" He motioned with his hand, indicating one of the empty seats at the table. "Where are you from?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pike/Lomea darth_imperius 2017-05-06 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"Somewhere far, far away, and a long time ago." She nodded at him again, taking a seat and leaning back in it. "Though there are others from the same place, if a different time. I doubt you've heard of Dromund Kaas, Yavin Four, or Aldaraan, but being on a starship is not unfamiliar to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You realize you've just piqued my interest. I'm a historian as well, so now I'm tempted to pull out my PADD and take notes while you tell me about this place of yours," he said with a smile. He intended to make his glass of tequila last. While he enjoyed alcohol, he didn't believe in getting drunk while on duty. And on a starship, an officer was almost almost on duty.

"I have heard of Aldaraan, but not the other two. You are from the same world as General Organa then?"

After her little chat with Tony, she figured it would do her some good to unwind and relax. Have a few drinks and let her problems wash away. Or at least try too. With Deck 5 all decorated for the festive holiday, it made Natasha smirk lightly. Least the crew was trying, which meant they cared for its passenger's.

Upon entering, Natasha had noticed Tony was already enjoying himself, so she would venture over to her own table as a pitcher of sangria was brought over to her. Aside from this, Natasha would order her typical blue drink as well as a few tequila shots. Her plan was to try and relax and enjoy herself. With no longer having to worry about missions and assassinations it meant Natasha would have to try and be... Normal.

Natasha and Will

Deanna was gone. Even if it hadn't officially shown up on the list yet, she was most definitely gone. Will had been keeping to himself, not wanting to let on just how much her departure had affected him. Old habits died hard it seemed, even when they had finally gotten things right and were actually going to get married. It might have been easier had Kathryn not left as well. Of the other Starfleet people from his timeline, Kathryn was the one he knew best and he would miss her friendship.

Tonight though, he was going to enjoy himself. It was Cinco de Mayo and while he'd never quite understood the purpose of the holiday, it was a good excuse to get together with the other passengers and drink. Which seemed like a good thing to do.

When he entered the lounge he got himself a margarita and looked for a place to sit. Spotting an attractive redhead sitting alone, he decided to join her. Why not, the worst thing that could happen would be that she'd say no. "Is this seat taken?" he asked as he stopped beside her.

Natasha was slowly getting used to this ship. To seeing the many different people that now called this place home. That drink in hand as she came to take a sip. Soon followed by that shot. That is until someone approached her table asking if the seat across hers was taken. Her lips came to smirk. Natasha was in need of a distraction, she didn't like getting lost in her thoughts. Memories.

"No, go right ahead." Is all she would say as she came to pour herself a glass of that sangria for the most part. It was a party after all wasn't it? And Tony seemed to be enjoying himself as usual. So she hoped the others were having fun too.

"Thank you," he said and sat down across from her. Like many of the people on board, he'd seen her on the network but he couldn't recall a name. He knew that he'd never met her because he wouldn't have forgotten that. "I'm Will Riker," he said with a smile. "I appreciate you letting me keep you company."

Which was a very cheesy thing to say but it had been a while since he'd even bothered to think about what to say to a woman who wasn't Deanna. With her it didn't really matter because she could read him anyway whether he spoke or not. Sometimes that was convenient and other times, he wished that she couldn't do that.

"Natasha Romanoff." She replied as she returned her name to him and smiled none the less. "I could use some company tonight." She replied lightly as she came to lean back in her seat. Her fingers played over the coolness of the cup she was drinking from. Nat wasn't lying. With everything going on she could use a distraction.

Nat had seen him on the net but she didn't really talk to people she didn't know. hence why she came to these events. So she could venture out her comfort zone. If you can even call it that.

The name caught his attention and he raised an eyebrow. "Romanoff? Are you from Russia? One of my crewmates was a Klingon who was adopted by a Russian family and he talked about his heritage a good bit." As much as Worf talked about anything but Will wasn't going to try to explain Worf to someone he'd just met. He'd never understood the Klingon that much anyway although he did consider him a friend.

"So how long have you been on board?" He was curious to know more about her nad to learn about how the others had gotten here. Will was still harboring the idea that Q was behind it although this wasn't his usual pattern. Thiings could change though.
