	Alana smiled wide, "Marco and I just can't keep our hands off each other." She let out a huff of air in a small chuckle. "Trill. What happens when you're not bonded to someone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I know the feeling. Both with my husband before I came here, and the woman I'm seeing now," Jadzia admitted, with an air of gossip to her voice.

"Then you're just you. I became Joined over ten years ago, after years of training and study to be able to pass all the tests. After Dax was Joined to me, I gained the memories and experience of six previous hosts. It changed a person. Jadzia before and after isn't entirely the same person, but I'm not the same as any other host, nor is Dax the same. But who I am and was in all cases, is still there."

	"So ... you keep the memories of the person? I thought your name was Jadzia Dax." Alana sipped her drink. It didn't taste great. That didn't stop her from a second sip. "I've never heard of this sort of tradition where I'm from. There's a lot of planets clustered together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was Jadzia before, I'm Jadzia Dax now. Dax is the slug in my belly." Jadzia grinned at her, then grimaced at her own drink. "Dax is the Symbiont. Curzon was my previous host." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alana nodded, none of this strange to her. It wasn't practiced on her planet but she didn't bat an eye. "Do you have a host now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's me." Jadzia pointed at herself. "Jadzia is the host. Dax is the Symbiont. We're one and the same now. Maybe you could say Jadzia is the sexy you're looking at right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alana/Jadzia landfallian 2017-11-15 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Okay, maybe it was a little strange to her. "Oh." She looked confused. "So the person I'm talking to is the host. Got it, sexy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes." Jadzia knew it could be confusing to the uninitiated. "Basically. It's hard to translate with the universal translater. For that matter Trill have a half-dozen variations of 'I' depending on if I'm referring to myself, Dax, or one of the previous hosts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alana looked down at her drink, wondering if there was alcohol in it. "Huh. I've seen people with one eyes and multiple limbs but I've never been acquainted with a host system." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Its very rare, but a human can be a host for several days. There's one instance in a future ship named Enterprise, where the host was injured, and so the Symbiont was temporarily transferred to a human. It's not sustainable, it would kill both if it went on too long, but in an emergency it worked." Jadzia looked thoughtful. "Two eyes seem to be the most common in the Alpha Quadrant, but we have the Preservers to thank for that."

	Alana lifted her glass, "To the Preservers." She finished her drink and sat the glass on the bar. "I have a daughter to go find, I left her with a babysitter who tells stories. Hopefully she's fallen asleep by now. Thank you, Miss... Jadzia, for the information." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're welcome." She toasted Alana back. "Good luck with your daughter. If you ever want parenting advice, or just to talk about it, I've had nine. Five as a mother, and four as a father." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alana/Jadzia landfallian 2017-11-16 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Alana was walking away at that point but turned around and looked at Jadzia. "You're pretty cool," was all she could think to say. (Reply to this) (Parent)
