"So where do you eat, then?" she said to T'Shaina. "You must get out onto the Promenade occasionally."

"Oh very rarely. I find myself normally eating regenerated food and wearing the same clothes I've had for years. I normally am very rapped up in my work. " she said glancing at the clothing and slightly ran her hand down a red silk top.

"My work is normally the focus of my free time, I think i've been here twice since I got here" she laughed and pulled out a golden dress, it wouldn't suit here but it looked like it would suit Kathryn, she held it up and smiled before putting it back on the rack. "Your skin complexional goes with everything." she commented.

Glancing at the other girls holding dresses to each other she walked to the next shop, a jewelry shop. She pulled out an old looking necklace with strange writings on it. "This is a Vulcan unscripted necklace, it is a copy of one worn by ancient priestesses in the early days of Vulcan. I've never seen a copy like this." T'shaina told Kathryn. "Better put it down, you break it you take it." she said knowing her own clumsiness, she would probably drop it or bash it on something. She put it back down and turned around hitting the corner of the table with her knee and stumbling into a man.

"Im so sorry!" she proclaimed covering her mouth and looking apologetic at the man, she came down pretty hard on his foot. 'Making friend where ever you go. . .' she thought to herself.

Taniya had been ambling long, trying not to think too much, instead focusing on the vast array of people in the station, when she felt an arm worm its way into her own, and someone pull her forward. With a vague idea it might be Gidget, she raised her eyes, but instead saw a completely new group of people she had never seen before- all StarFleet officers it appeared, from their bearing, despite the wide smiles on their faces.

"You're kidnapped! I'm Chloe, and that is my friend Mallory. We've been friends a long time, but we can always use new friends... right?"

Taniya smiled uncertainly. "Taniya." she introduced herself. She found herself glancing at the other girls- two blonds, the dark-haired one (Chloe), and a Vulcan. Taniya was in the midst of trying to decide which blonde was Mallory when she felt the arm drop away, and heard an excited voice.

"Ohhhh...This would look fabulous on you!" Chloe lifted a frothy pink dress up to Taniya. Taniya stared down at it. She hadn't worn something like that in ages. More than ages. Like, ever. Well, maybe at that one dance in Academy...

Taniya directed her thoughts away from that topic; it was likely to provoke other, less pleasant thoughts. "Oh yes." she said "Pink is definitely your color. Don't you think Mal?" Taniya smiled timidly, trying to think of something to say. "Well, um...it's very pretty-"

Chloe dumped the dress into her arms, and turned back to the rack. Taniya encircled her arms around the dress and around herself and watched the other girls oo-and-ah throughout both the clothes store and the neighboring shop.

Mallory only laughed as she watched Chloe grab the other young woman and literally drag her along to the dress shop. The sound of her laughter was like a small bell, tinkling away with mirth.

Once at the shop, she quickly agreed with Chloe that the dress would look ravishing on their new friend...Taniya, she'd heard the girl say. "I'm Mallory," she replied as she scooted back over to her and Chloe with her arms full.

Looking around for Kathryn and T'Shaina, Mallory finally spotted them closer to the door, standing not too far from a rather handsome man. Arms still loaded with objects she had intended for them all to try on, Mallory took a step backwards so she was near Chloe.

"Hot guy at 2 o'clock," she mumbled under her breath, before grinning wickedly and walking towards the others.

"Look what I found!" She declared, holding up her dress-laden arms. "Let's have a dress party. I've picked some out for everyone!" Mallory paused and looked...where had T'Shaina gone. Ah, yes, just outside the doors near the rather attractive gentleman. Mallory knew she couldn't venture out there with her wares unless she wanted to find herself locked in a cell for the evening.

"Wanna try dresses on with me?" She asked Kathryn, "of should we try to capture that cute guy over there and invite him to dinner instead." Mallory grinned as she pointed in the direction T'Shaina had gone.

"Your skin complexional goes with everything."

Kathryn smiled politely, but secretly she was pleased that someone had thought to notice. She knew that she had been blessed when it came to the vagaries of fashion; she could pull off almost anything pretty well, clothes-wise. It probably explained why she had a larger than average wardrobe; she couldn't help wanting pretty clothes, even if she knew she'd probably only ever wear them a couple of times. Such was the beauty of the replicator... remember the pattern and recycle.

The Vulcan pendant that T'Shaina showed her was interested, but the Commander had moved on again before she had a chance to ask more about it. Mentally making a note of the shop that was selling it so that she could investigate more later, she looked up just in time to see T'Shaina colliding with a poor unsuspecting (and kind of cute) man. She smiled apologetically at the man, and opened her mouth to speak when she heard Mallory calling to her.

"Wanna try dresses on with me?" She asked Kathryn, "of should we try to capture that cute guy over there and invite him to dinner instead."

Kathryn laughed a little.

"I'm not good at inviting men to dinner, attractive or otherwise," she admitted. "But trying on dresses sounds fabulous." She sighed a little. "I'm on duty for another..." she pulled her chronometer out of her pocket and checked it, "fifteen minutes." So if you don't mind waiting, I'm all for it. If you want I can arrange for us to use BiJarra's holographic catalogue? She has copies of all her clothing in the computer, you can virtually try things on in her Parisian studio in holodeck four." She smiled a little to herself; BiJarra's idea of 'Parisian' wasn't exactly true to life, and was mostly given ambience by people speaking in faux-French accents and the view of la Tour Eiffel out of the large picture window. Still, it was a nice, light and airy place to try on dresses, so Kathryn wasn't complaining.

I can arrange for us to use BiJarra's holographic catalogue? She has copies of all her clothing in the computer, you can virtually try things on in her Parisian studio in holodeck four.

"Ooo, that's sounds fabulous!" Mallory gushed. "Let me go hang up these items so we can play with the whole catalog!" As Mallory turned, she mused a bit quieter, "wonder if we could try on all the dresses."

In a matter of time, she had replaced all the items she had found originally. Then, moving over towards Chloe and Taniya, she excitedly told them about the holo-catalog and how it would work.

"Maybe we should try and get T'Shaina back...or we could ask that adorable man she's found to help us choose the best outfit," Mallory winked as she linked arms with Chloe. "Kathryn said she'd be off duty in a few minutes, perhaps we can convince T'Shaina's new friend to join us in that time. What do you say?" Mallory looked at Chloe and then glanced over at Taniya as well.

Did these girls ever sit still? Granted, Tan herself could be downright bouncy, but...wow. Mallory introduced herself, then excitedly bounced off again, then came back, talking about a "cute" man they had seen. Taniya glanced over, vaguely hoping it was Luca they had spotted, but no such luck.

She stifled a sigh, her mind retreating back into its inner recesses, pondering things... "What do you say?"

Taniya looked up and focused on the blonde. "So long as it doesn't take longer than a couple hours, I'm good." she said. It probably would though. Tan knew this kind of people; girly-girl to a fault, who could spend hours in a store. "Or should I say, I'll have to leave in a couple hours. Duty." she said with a soft smile.

"Ooh, that sounds fabulous!"

Kathryn smiled and nodded.

"Alright," she said. "I'll go organise it." She walked over to the cashier and exchanged a few words. Kathryn knew the woman well, so it didn't take much to persuade her to send the catalogue over to the holodeck. Kathryn was a good customer of BiJarra's, after all.

"OK," she said, walking back over to the girls. "All sorted. Holodeck four, in ten minutes. I'm going to go change. Not having a dress party in this," she said, pulling a bit of a face. "I'll see you there!"

She grinned at the them, then made her way out of the shop.

"Dress party," she said to T'Shaina as she passed. "Go see the others, they'll tell you where we're going."

With a final grin, she turned and left.

Tag all, then End for Kathryn for the moment

He had taken a couple of looks back into the store to see if the girls had made any progress, but not knowing much about fashion, Micah couldn't tell one way or the other. He remained in his position for the next short while, wondering if he should take the initiative and attempt to join the group, or withdraw and find something else to do. Deciding to take the initiative, he turned around just in time to feel something come down on his foot. He retracted the foot, letting out a quiet, but still noticeable grunt of pain. A Vulcan woman, had stumbled and got him right in the foot.

"I'm so sorry!" The woman said apologetically.

Micah raised his eyebrows. "No harm done. You definitely got me that time. Are you all right?" he asked, also taking a look back at the group that this woman was apart of that included the Zephyr crew he had seen. They were beginning to take notice of the situation.

"I'm Micah." He reached out a hand to shake hers.

T'Shaina smiled and nodded to Kathryn, who walked off to get changed. She looked back at the others who where mainly giggling or talking, a few glances her way.

"No harm done. You definitely got me that time. Are you all right?" said the man she had fallen on. He then said his name was Micah

"Dont worry, my Vulcan graces had saved myself from the agony I inflicted on you." she said jokingly and smiled at him. "T'Shaina, or just Shaina." she still felt terrible, she could tell that hurt. "You dont need anything? Sick bay? Medic? Amputation?" she joked, something about his personality told her he was a funny guy, so she had no hesitation in joking with him, although she really hoped she didn't read him wrong.

Suddenly, almost out of nowhere a figure appeared before the two. Her eyes taking in the situation, as she saw it, in a matter of seconds.

"Hello, young friends. An interest in the fine jewelry?" She inquired as her hands opened to indicate the wares that Micah and T'Shaina had been standing in front of. "Perhaps something special for the lovely lady here?" She asked with a raised brow at Micah. Of course, Tesadi didn't know the truth behind this chance meeting. It was her job to sale her wares and those of the artists that entrusted their work to her. Sales had been slow lately and a purchase would surely brighten her day.

"Perhaps you'd like to come around and explore the rest of the shop. We've got vases, artwork, unique attire, whatever your heart desires." Tesa arms indicated the main entrance to her shop just around the corner. Getting the customer in the door was the first step in making a sale. Would she succeed today?

Chloe's arms were full of her purchases as she started after Mallory, "cute guy?" she smiled as she came out of the dress shop. She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Micah!" she said. She wasn't quite sure of what she was seeing T'Shaina seemed to have fallen and he was helping her up. Then one of the shop women was asking him if he wanted to buy something for her.

She walked slowly over to them, he was wearing a cute hat or rather a hat that looked cute on him. She smiled uncertain of how to act.

"Micah?" she said from his other side.

Having thanked the kind shop owner and promising to buy a few dresses after trying them on in the holodeck, Mallory followed her new and old friends out of the shop. She expected to be visiting this store time and again when they stopped on the station.

She paused, her head tilted to the side as she watched the interaction between Chloe and the cute guy. How did Chloe know him? Suddenly, Mallory's eyes opened a bit wider. Was this the guy Chloe had mentioned meeting? A grin slowly spread across her face as she stepped up to join the others.

"Hello, I'm Mallory. And from what I gather you must be Micah."

Still in uniform, Christof wandered the promenade. He was looking for something specific and had yet to find it. As he approached one of the shops, he noticed a gaggle of good looking young women, surrounding a man who seemed to be favoring one foot. He laughed softly, elbowing his way through them, "excuse me, ladies," he said. Inside the shop, he looked around, not seeing a clerk. Where was the boisterous, obnoxious salesperson anyway? They were usually pouncing the minute they saw a Starfleet uniform.

He leaned on the glass case, looking at the items and shaking his head. All too wrong for what he needed. Beautiful, but wrong. Kind of like the women outside. He chuckled at the thought, then returned to his shopping. The colors were too bright. He needed something more pale, maybe with just a slight accent of color...

"Captain" T'Shaina stated nodding to him politely, he was off duty but she still had the utmost respect for him, even if he wasn't 'her' captain, he was still a captain.

T'Shaina smiled at the shop assistant "I couldn't help but notice you having very old and rare pieces of work, and im wondering if its real or simply look-a-likes?" she asked looking back at the Vulcan necklace she had seen earlier.

When Mallory and Chloe walked over T'Shaina suddenly felt like she was intruding. The way Chloe exhaled his name, well she didn't want to give the wrong impression. "I'll come back tomorrow, if you dont mind" she told the sales assistant.

"Im going to head off to holodeck and wait for Kathryn, it was a pleasure meeting you Micah, and maybe these wonderful woman can talk you into joining us, after all what better could you possibly have to do then hanging out with a bunch of girls as they holography try on clothing, article by article"

More potential clients, Tesadi thought as the girls arrived. However, she soon realized that for most of them it was not her wares they sought but rather the attention of the young man. Biting back a sigh, she had almost turned from the group when the dark haired...Vulcan caught her attention.

"I couldn't help but notice you having very old and rare pieces of work, and im wondering if its real or simply look-a-likes?"

Ah, true interest! Tesadi smiled. "I carry both, my dear. These ones here are not authentic, but have been carefully crafted to resemble the originals," Tesadi's hand waved over the counter to indicate the pieces the girl had examined. Many were her own creations, which she was very proud of.

"I have some true, vintage pieces inside, if you..." Yet, something in the girl's demeanor changed and she indicated that she would return later. Tesadi's tried to hide her disappointment. Hopefully, she would return. Looking at the others in the group and realizing they were not showing the same interest in her pieces, she inched back into her shop. All the pieces where the youngsters stood were protected by her special sensors, so she knew they would not 'vanish' on their own.

As she stepped away from the window counter, Tesadi sensed another presence inside her shop. Moving quickly, she approached the man who seemed to be gazing at the pieces within her front case. Some of her most popular. The colors always seemed to attract interest, especially among ones like those outside.

"Something catch your fancy, love?" Tesadi queried as she approached him.
