Mission: S3 Episode 5: Diplomatic Incident/Hydaransz Again (Incidentals)
Location: Rooselvelt Holodeck

[ON]

Fina took a glance at the clock on the wall. "I leave in twelve hours, I've already got things packed and ready to go. I just need to unwind to get some sleep before I go. Maybe a little bit of training in the holodeck would help out. Tire me out enough to sleep." Fina giving a small smile.

Faith smiled in return a little. "Well I don't know about sleep, but it should tire you out."

Fina gave a smile and nodded. "Let's go do some training then." she finished up her drink and rose from her chair. "I'm ready to go."

"Okay then." Faith stood and gave a little stretch. Motioning a handout for Fina to lead the way.

Fina led the way to the holosuite, the skirt of the dress billowing around her knees. She paused at the door and looked at Faith, "What's your program going to be like?" she asked, her dark brown eyes looking curiously at Faith.

"Well...I haven't quite decided on that yet." Glancing at the panel and then back to Fina. "Light? Tasteful, heavy and mean. Actual scenario mission type thing?"

Bit of teasing and yet a small look of challenge, "Surprise me." Fina replied. "I would like to find out what you can come up with."

Faith looked Fina over a moment, and then again, smirking, "Okay. I have a good idea of what'll be fun." Tapping on the panel. Waiting for the computer to acknowledge, then stepping forward. Going through the large Holodeck doors. For now, there was just the grid and a changing alcove.

Fina took a look around, then her eyes stopped on the changing alcove. "Looks like we'll be doing something that my outfit may not fit. So... what sort of outfit? Pant's, tee shirt?" giving a small smile her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Well....You can carry about 75 pounds of steel armour, or chain mail, or leather mail, right? While having weapons." Faith gave a little shrug. "I mean..well..now you know where I'm starting to go with this."

Fina's eyes widened. "Oh yes, I will take the leather and chainmail armour. We're going on an adventure? Do you play DnD?"

"Right..that would fit." Smiling, "Oh I've not heard that name in a while, but I've heard there are rumours of some lower deckers playing it on other ships."

"I've not played that game in a long while," Fina responded. "Do you like that game?" she moved to go get changed into the new outfit. She was intrigued and looking forward to this. "Have you played it before?"

Fina stepped out wearing chainmail with a leather chest plate as well as leather boots with leggings as well. She chose the style almost like a female ranger outfit, something that was going to protect her and also allow her to be able to move more easily. It was shaped to her body but not skin-tight. Her hair was done up into a French braid. "What do you think?"

Faith looked at Josefina for a moment. Giving a good nod of approval. "I like it. Now what do I want to go with though." Stopping to look through several different presets.

Fina looked Faith over, "Well, maybe something you can move in? While I am certain you can handle the more bulky armour, just by your body shape, and the way you move something like what I am wearing? And if we are going into a sword and sorcery bit, it also depends on how physical you want to be. You could conceivably wear armour like something an old Earth show, Xena warrior princess had worn. Or something else." Fina gave a bit of a smile.

"I'm sure we can find something," Faith gave a pause, "How do you know that show?"

"I came across it back home, a friend of mine who is into the old earth shows and movies had shown me the series. It was really good. I've not watched it since then but the look of the outfits and her fighting style, I liked watching." Fina replied. "Are you familiar with the series?"

"I see. I remember when it was actually on the air. By that I mean it was on the television to watch each week." Faith had finally decided on something. It was more akin to a type of synthetic leather for a chest piece, a gold cross in the middle. The cross sidebars across her bust, the cross also having a violet inlay middle border. Not completely form-fitting but well enough. Black with violet accentuations on the sides and the shoulders. Along with black and violet arm sleeves starting at the elbow down. Matching breeches and the same colour scheme. Violet cape with hood attached to the chest piece with two round violet and gold crosses as well. "So...I got creative."

Fina was stunned, in a good way. Outright staring at the outfit, her mouth open in awe. Finally, she found her voice. "That is so beautiful! You are beautiful!" walking around, admiring the view. "You have an artistic flair and I love it!" reaching out to touch the cape.
