Jadzia turned her head a little, gesturing to the pattern that ran down her face and neck. "Non-human, from a planet called Trill. We've been a member of the Federation for thirty years here, and well over a hundred where I come from. It's hundreds of light-years from Earth. And yes, the spots go all the way down."

She gave Mako another smile, her voice lightly teasing. "Mako it is then. I'll save Ms. Mori for a formal occasion."

	Mako looked a little surprised and blushed. "Interesting," was all she could muster. She tried to change the subject, "The blue, in my hair? It's not natural. I dyed it that way." She was thankful for the shift back to names. "Yes, like if we do end up working together. Which is likely. This outfit isn't very big... compared to what I've seen before."

"It's very pretty." Jadzia picked up her drink as it arrived and gave it a taste. "Mm. There's only about four hundred people on board, yes, but there are at least a dozen ships just like this, and hundreds more of various sizes and configurations. And that's just Starfleet. But I can't imagine what it must have been like. Pulling everyone together against such odds."

She knew a little of Earth history, and how divided it had been. It had to have been at least as hard as getting everyone on the same side against the Dominion.

	"Near the end, it wasn't as easy. They wanted to a build a wall... from where the monsters were coming from. As if a wall would help anything." She chuckled ruefully. "What is it that you're drinking?" She wasn't quite sure she heard the order correctly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A wall sounds like they were either desperate or out of touch." It seemed like every species had their old hardliners who were honestly idiots.

"Altairian Brandy, from a planet in the Altair system," Jadzia explained. "Very smooth tasting, with a kind of..." Jadzia searched for a word that Mako would understand. "Well its a berry that has no earth-analogue. But it's very sweet after taste."

	"The creatures became stronger and they thought the wall would stop them. If we couldn't, why would a wall?" She looked frustrated for a moment and then tried to perk up. "May I taste yours?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Obviously it wasn't enough. But you still won, that counts for something." Jadzia smiled, and held the drink out to Mako. If her hand brushed Mako's, she didn't notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her hand did brush Mako's and Mako noticed immediately-- it wasn't often she was touched. She blushed and took the drink. She was very dainty about taking a sip. "Oh, that is nice." She flagged down a waitress and asked carefully, "Al--Altairian Brandy, please." Mako smiled at Dax. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sure beats synthethol," Jadzia said, winking at Mako. "In my experience, life is for living and we should enjoy it where we can."

She looked back towards the bar. "I just wish I could get the damn replicators to give me raktajino. A little taste of home would be nice."

Her thought reminded her of her project. "I there was one thing from where you're from you'd like to see, besides a person, what is it?"

	"You lost me at synthethol. Raktajino?" The wink made her feel fuzzy. "One thing? Gipsy Danger. The jaeger I piloted with Raleigh. Or Tokyo before Onibaba attacked it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Synthethol is alcohol without the after effects. It doesn't taste quite real enough for most people, and most people miss the buzz, too," she explained. "And Raktajino is Klingon coffee. Really hard to come by here."

She reached over and patted Mako's hand. "I think I can show you Tokyo. Early 21st century, right?"

The Jaeger might be a bit more difficult, she'd need a description.

	"Synthethol sounds kind of boring!" Her drink was brought to her and Mako's face lit up. She took a drink. "The buzz is the best part." She was suddenly very interested when Dax said she could show her Tokyo. "How? Yes, 2010s or so." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Honestly, it's kind of awful but when you've got early duty it's the only thing available if you really really need a drink." Jadzia put her hand over her chest. "I can assure you I've never shown up to duty drunk or hungover. My previous host on the other hand..."

She nodded. "I'm working on modifying a cargo hold into a special kind of suite. In my time, it's common for off-duty officers and civilians on space assignments to spend time in holographic adventures, particularly if it's a deep space assignment. You could be Sherlock Holmes for an afternoon. Sail the ocean. Or visit your favorite cafe back home."

	"Oh, I believe you're very professional, no worries." Mako had been in someone's memories before. She had been caught in one of her own. It wasn't strange for her to think of being in a 'holographic adventure.' "That sounds amazing. I look forward to it!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Mako and Dax jadzia_dax 2017-03-25 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Most of the time." Get her off duty (or comfortable with fellow officers) and she was a little less professional. At the very least she could be very teasing. "I'll give you a personal tour once it's ready. It shouldn't be too much longer. I do need guinea pigs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Mako and Dax copilot 2017-03-26 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I will gladly sign up to be a guinea pig." she smiled at Dax. "It sounds very much like our work back home. I'm interested to see it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I do love having people be my guinea pigs," Jadzia teased. "I love to get my hands on them. When it's ready, I'll show you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
