<b>Ares 8 Recreation Hall </b><br/><br/>Who- Tugboat, Sara, and Butch<a class="username" data-user-id="41027" data-username="@MsBloom" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/41027/">@MsBloom</a><br/><br/>Tugs eyes drifted over Sara's well formed ass before looking back to Butch.  "Can't argue with that, it's about as distracting a sight as your boss stripping down right in front of me." Tugger laughed deeply before he obliged Butch's request for another beer, handing it over with a wide cheeky grin.  "Anyway it's all good Pinky, no harm no foul, ain't that what they say?"  The big oaf slapped his beer can against her own, sending a spray of cheap beer up into the air while Sara went about setting up the next round.  "Besides, isn't scrubbing the latrines what the synthetics are for?  Although I don't think that's what your boss uses hers for, eh?"  Another laugh followed while Sara just shook her head.<br/><br/>The clatter of a few more footsteps mixed with Tug Boats boisterous laughing as a trio of fresh faced Forge recruits came out of the hallway and into the cafeteria.  "Oh shit, here comes trouble."  Tugger mockingly stated as his eyes moved to the cache of beer sitting nearby.  "Grab some extra out of the cooler!"  The big lug of a soldier called out to the three young soldiers, prompting one of the three to break off and head into the cooler to fetch more brew while the others joined the party.  Brief introductions followed and to Esther's relief it seemed as if word had gotten around that she was to be addressed as Butch.<br/><br/>"Anyone else coming?"  Tug asked as more beer was cracked open while one of the recruits popped open a pack of smokes.  "Should be a few more I think.  Lenny and Chris said they'd stop by for a beer or two."  A pale skinned freckle faced young soldier replied before he took a sip from his beer.  "Maybe Charlie, he said something about asking Ruya to come out of her room and join us."  A sigh of disapproval rose up from the lips of the men, although Sara didn't seem to mind the mention of Ruya's name quite as much as the men.<br/><br/>"Your all just scared of her because she can whoop your ass without breaking a sweat."  Sara gave a sharp elbow into Tugs ribs who winced from the unexpected shot as she made her way over to offer the pool stick to Butch.  "Ah, no, chick just scares the shit out of me, she's fucking crazy."  He responded with a huff.<br/><br/>"You care to break?"  She gave a friendly and easy going smile to the Divinity officer while one of the soldiers made his way over to intercom.  "Gonna hail the captain, anyone got any requests for music?"  He shot a glance back over his shoulder.<br/><br/><b>Ares 8 Communal Shower</b><br/><br/>Who - Sergeant West and Jaxx Herd<a class="username" data-user-id="20459" data-username="@LeaT" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/20459/">@LeaT</a><br/><br/>"I fully expect you will when you're ready."  His broad shoulders lifted up into a shrug as he watched Jaxx with obvious interest as she padded her way across the water soaked tile floor to fetch her towel.  Her comment about primal needs being on the forefront of her mind had certainly gotten his attention so the Sarge resigned himself from attempting to press the discussion about the station and instead shifted his attention to his own primal desires.<br/><br/>It was a shift that wasn't hard to make considering the way that she looked at him with some obvious approval.  He responded with a subtly coy smirk that appeared on his face before he shook his head while she fetched her towel.  He reached behind his back, turning off his own shower, casting the locker room into a state of relative silence that was only broken by the last stray drops of water that fell from the shower head and Jaxx's own footsteps as she made her own way into the locker room.<br/><br/>His own footsteps soon followed as Jaxx arrived at her locker to gather her clothing.  West made his way into the room, nearly passing by the Divinity agents row before he stopped in his tracks and set a palm on the edge of the last locker.  His head tilted to the side as he looked towards her lean and toned figure with a gaze that silently expressed his interest.  "There's a sauna in the back of the locker room."  The statement was as flat and business like as most things that the Sergeant stated, except for that brief pass of his tongue over the edge of his bottom lip while he locked eyes with Jaxx.  He didn't bother waiting for a response though before he turned and made his way towards the tucked away sauna.<br/><br/><b>Crew Quarters of Ruya Aras.</b><br/><br/>Enlistee<a class="link link--external" href="https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3f8232312bee0916385f3e3d00f5d350" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Charlie</a>McKay and Ruya Aras<a class="username" data-user-id="18515" data-username="@BennyQ" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18515/">@BennyQ</a><br/><br/>On his way towards the cafeteria to join the others for a little bit of revelry, young Charlie McKay did indeed stop by the closed door to Ruya Aras's room.  His lips quietly fumbled over what he was going to say as he stared towards the door.  It's not that Ruya in particular scared him, no Charlie just had a habit of freezing up whenever he went to talk to any woman who was remotely attractive.  This was only made worse by the simple fact that Ruya was more then remotely attractive.  Attractive and crazy, or at least Tug Boat had said she was and Charlie had to admit that she did have a peculiar aura about her.  Still he had nothing but the best of intentions behind this visit.  Eager as he was to prove his worth on this mission Charlie saw the evenings gathering as a way to bolster the comradery between the group that he was no a part of.  Considering that Ruya was a member of that group he certainly thought she should be invited to.<br/><br/>Finally he found the courage to rap his knuckles on the door.  "Hey, uh, uhm..."  A nervous pause was swallowed down.  "...Corporal Aras?  There's a bunch of us getting together at the dining hall."  He leaned forward against the door and spoke as he felt his heart thumping away in his chest.  "Just thought you might want to know, if uh, you wanted to drop by for a beer?"  Charlie stepped back from the door then and wiped the back of his hand across his brow to clear the sweat that had permeated upon his scalp.  He took a deep breath then and turned, ready to take his leave with hasted steps.
