New Quarters -- New....Friend?

[xEnsign Mitra Rhee]

Rhee couldn't help but grin as he made his way down the corridors from Malia's quarters to his own. He would have just enough time to shower, dress, grab something to eat, and perhaps relax for a few minutes before he'd likely have to report for duty. No sleeping, that was for sure. Even that thought made him yawn.

Arriving at his door he keyed it open quickly and went inside. Much to his surprise, he found another's belongings there this time. So, his new room-mate had arrived. Glancing at the bed, it had either not been slept in just like his own, or his roommate had already been up and at up for the day, unless of course he worked third shift.

They'll be time enough to find out, Rhee thought. Quickly stripping out of his party clothes from the night before, he made his way to the sonic shower, knowing the blast of air would awaken him to the day, even if he hadn't slept at all the night before. But, it was well worth it. As he stepped into the blasting waves, he couldn't help but smile. Malia was simply stunning. Attractive. Friendly. And a damn good kisser too. Trying to clear his head, he made good use of the shower, before wrapping a towel around his wait and heading back to the main living area of the shared quarters. Now to finish unpacking his belongings from yesterday and get himself ready for a new day.

With a huge smile on his face from his overnight stay to make Tricia's fears disappear, Vhatter strutted down the hallway. He had no idea that his roommate had taken a similar jaunt just moments before. Though he had had no sleep, it was no problem for a species that could go a long time without.

As he entered, he heard a sound. His grin grew wider. The roommate. An adventure inside of an adventure. He saw the man's back and it appeared he was unpacking. In just a towel. Vhatter laughed silently, then cleared his throat.

Rhee heard a sound behind him. Turning, he straightened and looked his new roommate in the eye. His eyes grew a bit wider as he recognized the features of the man before him. He had seen him get splattered with punch at the memorial the night before.

"Hello! You must be my new roommate. Mitra Rhee." He said by way of introduction. Rhee took a step forward and held out his hand. Then, suddenly realizing he was still only wearing his towel, he gave a bit of a embarrassed grin. "Must say those sonic showers are a blast." He hoped that his new roommate would enjoy his little quip. Otherwise, this could be a very long journey.

Vhatter took Rhee's hand and shook it briefly, then laughed at his shower remark. "Look," Vhatter said, "if you don't say anything about the fact that I'm still wearing yesterday's clothes, I won't say anything about you in a towel." He grinned and moved over to his own belongings, but then stopped, turned, and said, "and, yes... it was a good thing you weren't standing there." Chuckling, he began unpacking. As he did so, he began laughing.

"I don't believe it..."

He rummaged through his bag again.

"It can't be true..."

He turned his bag over, dumping the entire contents onto the bed. His head tipped back and he began howling with laughter, interspersed with the words "no underwear." Though he knew he could replicate more, the fact that his joke with Tricia had come true made him almost double over with merriment.

Rhee burst out laughing at Vahtter. He was soon laughing so hard that he had to lean against his bed to keep from falling over.

"Interesting packing job," he smirked, as he rummaged into his own bag and extracted what he needed. Slipping into the bathroom area, he quickly pulled on a comfortable jogging outfit with underwear of course and returned to the main room once again.

Sitting on the bed, he pulled on a pair of socks.

"I was thinking of running a few laps this morning to get my blood moving. Otherwise, I'll probably fall over asleep during my shift. Wanna join me?" Rhee sat, pondering his new roommate as he waited for a response. He tried to suppress a yawn, but didn't succeed. It turned into a rather loud yawn in fact.

"Then again, maybe a short nap is in order, after all," he joked, though he was seriously debated the pros and cons of such a nap.

"I was thinking of running a few laps this morning to get my blood moving. Otherwise, I'll probably fall over asleep during my shift. Wanna join me?"

"Tempting," Vhatter said. He had finished unpacking and was over at the replicator conjuring up some new underwear. "I frequent the gym often, but I really think I--"

Rhee's yawn echoed throughout the small quarters and Vhatter laughed, shaking his head. He didn't understand the need of so many species to sleep frequently.

"Then again, maybe a short nap is in order, after all."

"Probably a good idea," Vhatter replied, "can't have you falling--"

//"All hands, this is the Captain. Prepare to get underway. We will be leaving space dock in one hour."//

Vhatter ran a hand over his bald head, "maybe I should report to sickbay, see if they need any help." He smiled again at his new friend, "send me your schedule. We'll see if we can fit in a workout later... unless, of course, you have plans with someone else." He winked at the man.

Tag Rhee, then end Vhatter

Rhee chuckled as Vahtter spoke of 'other' plans. Rhee wouldn't mind having some other plans with Malia, but one evening together and a kiss in the corridor didn't quite mean that anything more would develop between them.

"Sounds like a plan," Rhee replied to Vhatter. "I'm expected on duty right after the launch, so a few winks till then should do me a world of good." Rhee turned and headed to his sleeping area. After setting the computer to wake him in time for his duty shift, he drifted off to sleep for a short nap.
