YunieXTidus

I did. Wow...yikes. I make some mistakes, but nothing quite like that. Not exactly charmed by the content, either, if I'm perfectly honest.

Did you try a different browser? That might help the problem.

How are you tonight?

I'm her beta reader, too. How do I tell my best friend that her story sucks? Lol.

I'm pretty good. How's the asuna sketch idea coming?

Well...Uh...lie? I don't know how to handle that one, aside from making lots of light, little suggetions over a period of time.

Not bad, actually. It's inspiring me to finish other sketches, too. I just need to actually finish it. Shouldn't be too much longer now.

Hopefully she'll just get discouraged by lack of readers. Man. Beta'ing her stuff gives me a headache.

Can't wait! ^^

Let's hope so. If not, there will probably be someone who will point out the errors to her on the site...and they won't be nice, unfortunately.

How was your ST marathon last night?

Yeah, she says she won't get discouraged by 'flames,' as she put it. Good! Watched 6 this morning, and in the middle of generations now. First contact later tonight.

I'm in a bit of a weird mood. Any new story pieces to cheer me up? :)

Well, more power to her, then. Hopefully someone will offer constructive criticism. I don't know, maybe it's dishonest, but you could always create a fake account, comment honestly without holding back while being constructive...
Let me know when you're done with Generations. That movie gave me ideas for our co-op fic :)

Sure, in a few mins, actually!

I thought about that... but I think she'd know it was me.

Actually, me too xD

Yay!

True, there is that possibility...

Oh? What's your idea(s)?

:D

I don't remember now, lol.

More, more, now!

I remember mine, and it's an idea I used for a (really horrid) fic I did a long time ago. I'll wait until you're done with Generations before I tell you, though.

Almost done :)

btw- how comfortable would you be writing about Amy from Bashir's POV?

Okay, I'm done!

And I can certainly try... what did you have in mind?

Okay, here's my idea: Bashir and Holmes are on a runabout, going to offer aid to a planet in the Gamma Quardrant. On the way there, they're struck by an energy ribbon drawn to them by the takyon particles given off by the wormhole. They wind up in the Nexus. Holmes recalls Picard's report on the Nexus, and because he knows what to do, he stays calm, analyzes the Nexus scientifically, and enjoys a few fantasies. Some with Dax, but he wishes to see Picard, Kirk, and Soran fight it out to save the Veridian system. There he encounters the 'echo' of Soran, who injures him while putting them both in a hellish scenario from which Holmes must escape. Soran's been in the Nexus longer, so he's more skilled with using it. Holmes 'wishes' himself to Bashir, where they manage to fend off Soran's echo and escape back to the point before they encountered the Nexus.
And obviously, Bashir could have a fantasy or two about Amy.

What do you think?

Oh- I updated 'Serving'. Enjoy!

I love this! No good star trek fanfic can go without a plot like this. I could do my best, but I'd have to see yours first, to know where to go. xD

I saw that, I'll check it out after I finish first contact. :D

Thanks :) I did one similar to this, except I didn't understand Star Trek much, and the story made no sense. But it ended with Holmes fighting alongside Kirk and Picard, this time ensuring they both leave alive.

No rush :) First Contact is good ^^

I'd like to read it, in any case! XD

Lol at the sensual Borg leader lady.

I don't even know what happened to that fic. I think it was destroyed when my old comp went kablooey :( It really sucked, and made no sense, lol.

I liked her best in Voyager. She was really a good character ^^

I was thinking we could also do something with the Borg. Like, a leftover Borg from a destroyed collective arrives on DS9 in secrecy, and tries to assimilate the station, or something. I was thinking that like, Amy gets infected with the Borg nanites, and Bashir has to rush against time to save her. Any thoughts?

Damn it, stupid phone hit delete instead of reply. Can you re-reply to that? xD

Sure.

FAC stopped working for me. I guess it wasn't just your computer.

I love that idea. You should absolutely run with that! Maybe I'll have Holmes finally earn a measure of respect from Odo when the two of them fight the Borg invader.

Thanks xD. Damn phone.

How do you suggest we make it hard for the Borg to be detected at first?

lol. Apparently, Chekov actually ran around asking 'real' people about the wessels. Those weren't extras- they were people with no clue about what was going on! lmao, poor folks!

How are you tonight?

I love Chekhov. Wessels, indeedy. I'm pretty good. Waiting on star trek 5 to record so I can watch 6, generations, first contact, then nemesis.

I'm watching Generations now. That was the first bit of ST I ever saw, so it's got sentimental value. I'm dying to include the Nexus in our co-op fic.

Hold your horses, I haven't seen it yet!

Also, I was wondering how to tie up things with the Odyssey while tying into your next chapter. I was thinking about having her report to sisko's office, and keogh would be there too, and she'd have to brief them both about what happened. Then keogh leaves with his casualties (or has to stay for a few days til the criticals recover) and sisko welcomes her to DS9.

Don't worry; I won't say anything beyond that.

That sounds like a perfect plan. You could always do it in the form of a medical officer's log, just to be different. But that sounds about right to me.

Oh, my god. My friend is (trying to) write a fanfic. It's absolutely riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. -_- Stupid soul, I volunteered to be her beta. I mean, it's AWFUL. Here. (tosses you the link like it's diseased)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7020373/1/Welcome_to_Naruvers

Crap, I've got to log off. We've got this major thunderstorm right over us atm. I'll log back on if it clears up.
TTYL for now!

Oh, gosh. I hadn't really thought that far ahead. My mind was more preoccupied with him taking it off of me, to be honest. xD

But honestly, maybe a nice pair of boxers? I prefer red silk. Maybe a nice undershirt, if such a thing exists.

Finally, I managed to catch you off-guard with something! It's a small victory, but I'll take it. ^^

I thought for sure you'd pick some frilly thong or something, lol.

Dear god, no. If he's wearing that, I'm leaving. I'll put on a bathrobe and walk out right then.

A friend of mine told me that the only way he could get this girl he liked to date him was by fulfilling her demand-try on her underwear. I told the guy he was an idiot for doing it. (The jerk was the type who could have been with any girl who was not making demands, but wanted the one girl he 'couldn't' have)
I have no idea what to say to that. I mean, I joked about it in my mercenaries fic because it fit Azami, but wow.

Lol, night after night, I fall asleep on you. xD I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's a little... hrrm.

It's okay :)

There's a word for that- NO.
Seriously, unless you're getting some serious tale out of it (and it'd better be good), no way. If I had to 'buy' the right to date someone like that...forget it. Not worth it.

Yeah, it BETTER be okay. >;)

Lol yeah, that's messed up.

How are you tonight?

I was asleep not long after, so I can't talk.

Then again, if she could make the guy do it...wow.

I'm not bad. How are you?

Oh, something new to share with you. THE most odd anime opening ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOHwVZc6QYY

I'm pretty good. Finishing my poster for graduation after-party. Today was the last day! Except for finals. But oh my god! No more high school!

That... I have no words.

Congrats :) Big time. FREEDOM!

That was my reaction, too. Oh, the girl at 7 seconds in is a cross-dressing boy, apparently.

Sorry it took so long to reply, btw. Had to run out for a bit.

Totally okay. I had o finish something. I'm watching inception right now with my mom. Awesome movie. So, what's up with you?

Not much. Babysitting my sick Grandma, studying Japanese, and finally relaxing because my coursework is done ^^

And, lol, I was thinking about a fic RQ I'm going to ask of you later on XD

Tell me. :)

lol, well, I was going to throw out a scenario and let you fill in the blanks.

Yuji is in the hot spring, relaxing in the buff, when (Azami)(Sakura)(Other) walks in. And...
Then it becomes a romance fic of your design :) Basically, I'd like to be surprised by what happens.
No pressure to take such an RQ, of course. I'm just tired of knowing the ending to Yuji's romances. (or lack thereof)

Who's the "other"? Sounds good! I'll take a crack at it!

Atm I'm watching "search for Spock," after finishing wrath of khan. There's a marathon on syfy today!

No one in particular. I was going to let you pick which girl(s) run into Yuji. Beyond that scenario, I want to be surprised ^^

If I hadn't just watched the TOS movies, I'd be all over that!

Now I'm at the band banquet. Last one evar! I'm not sure what to think. Lol.

I haven't seen any of them, ever! Can't wait to get home and finish them. What up with you tonight?

I hope you're having a good time, then :D

Four out of the TOS movies are good. 1 and 5 aren't so hot imho.
Same old, same old here :)

I'm watching 4 right now. What's up?

nm really. Just relaxing. Miserable rain is giving me a headache.
Oh, four is a good one! Is Saavik in that one? I can't remember.

Yes! She's hot. There's so much tension between her and Spock because she helped him with the pon'phar or however you spell it when he was aging with the planet. That's like, a super intimate thing, eight?

I admit, she is hot. But she's also a good character. And you're right- yay for Vulcan sex! lmao.
I admit, the first time I watched 4, I kind of rolled my eyes. But when Spock goes after the guy on the bus, I lol'ed and just enjoyed the ride ^^

It's so funny! I love Spock and Kirk's interactions. And Spock and Bones. They're all so funny. Lol at the "colorful metaphors".

It really would XD

Oh, quick questions about "Mercenaries"- is Yuji's attire imposing? Especially the surgical mask?

Imposing how?

Ignore my sleep-addled comments. I should have said 'menacing' or 'creepy' -_-'

Lol okay then. It's not too menacing. Not enough to be 'imposing' to the plot. ;) It works, don't fret.

How are you tonight?

Hmm. Then it did not achieve the desired effect. Perhaps my own innate fear of surgery is not shared among others. I'll need to retool that...

I'm not bad; how about you? Sorry I'm so late.

Well, no, I mean it's kind of weird for Yuji to dress like that. I meant that it was believable.

I'm pretty good. Yes, shame on you!

I think it's one of those things that will only make complete sense to me. If I could make a movie of it, it might work. Visual interpretation is key. But mostly, he seems like an insane doctor. Not that that isn't scary, but it wasn't what I was aiming for.

I had a good excuse- I was watching Star Trek! The episode where Data creates...I can't spell the name, so- his daughter.

Lal. Good ep. I'm bootlegging movies for a party in class tomorrow. Shhh! ;)

Your secret is safe with me :D

That one and Yesterday's Enterprise are probably my two favorites. God, I just want to put the Crushers out an airlock, though! XD

Don't you dare! Wesley is so adorable.

Have you heard the song "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry? It's been stuck in my head all day. As has "Feeling Good" by Muse. Both amazing songs.

I'll let Riker live if Wesley goes... XD Sorry, that's mean.
I'll get rid of Troi instead.

No, I'm not familiar with either of those. I'll take a listen, though ^^ I've had the German national anthem stuck in my head, of all things 00'

Man, let up a little! Riker's hot. Troi gets more tolerable in later eps.

They're both awesome. And lol me too. We watched a movie in which it was played in Whist.

Btw, my friend offered to buy me lingerie, so now i'm looking at the site he linked. xD Just for fun, of course.

Oh, she does. I hated the 'Captain, I sense something strange, but I can't tell you what it is' thing. That would drive me nuts if I was Picard, lol.

Ah, very nice. For some reason, national anthems always stick with me.

Oh, nice! lol. Tell me, would you take that sort of thing as an insult ordinarilly?

Well, it depends on who's offering. And technically, I told him to buy me some when he went to New York this summer. :P But, why do you ask?

Not to get all Data on you, but like him, I don't quite grasp certain aspects of humanity; specifically male/female relationships. I'm...uncertain if I was not sexually involved with said female if I could suggest buying intimate garments without being worried that she would be offended.
Okay, so I DID Data-up my language a bit, but the concept remains the same :)

Lol well, unless you are or are planning to get physically intimate with her, or you're best friends and talk about sexual stuff on a daily basis, I suggest not. It would be super awkward. The guy is a friend that I flirt with a lot, and who knows? We may end up being physically intimate at some point. ;P

xD I decided on two. Would you care to see? ;)

I thought not. There are just too many ways that can be mistaken, even with the best of intentions. Is it the same with regular clothes? Certainly presenting a girl with a sweatshirt is different than underwear?

lol, I'd better not, tempting though it may be XD

Lol much, much different. Sweatshirt is very safe territory. Underwear, however... risky. xD

Aw, you're no fun! 3:<

See, it's different for a guy. Any gift of any kind is immediately dissected. What is the true meaning behind it? If it's not his style, it's 'Am I not dressing the right way for her?'. If it's downright ugly, it's 'crap, how can I get out of wearing this without offending her.' There's no such thing as 'just a gift'. Everything gets psychoanalyzed.

WeEll...okay, why not. I'll admit I'm curious. (sigh) I am only human, after all. Share away!

Hmm. Turns out you can help me as much as I can help you! xD I had no idea about that.

Lol. It's nothing too risque. My tastes are somewhat modest. Well, for lingerie.

http://www.bodylingerie.com/Embroidered-Mesh-Babydoll--P7297.aspx

http://www.bodylingerie.com/Embroidered-Mesh-Babydoll--P7279.aspx

Also, if you decide to go wandering through the site, I feel it necessary to warn you some of the girls don't cover their lady-lumps. Just so you're prepared. xD

Oh, absolutely. Only the most thoughtless jackass would ignore that thought process. Clothes and jewelry are terrifying to men. There is no right answer. They're 'loaded gifts' so to speak. Ditto with any book that contains any vague idea of 'changing us'.
Also, it's true: When you say 'Be honest. Does this make my butt look big?', our reaction will be assure you it does not, true or false. The commercials nailed that one.

Tasteful; very cute. Certainly titillating .
Okay, juvenile pun aside, very nice :) Maybe I'll get some ideas...for character development, you understand! (Clears throat).

Lol that entire thing made me laugh out loud.

Character development, of course! (looks around, embarrassed) I mean, what other kinds of ideas would you be getting?

Although honestly, I can't see myself wearing those on a regular basis. I mean, if stuff's gonna happen, it's probably not going to be planned. If that makes any sense at all.

Okay. You be Bashir, with your British phrases and whatnot!

Holmes: What the hell has that girl got against me? Any idea, Doctor?

It's precisely that killer instinct that makes you females so terrifying! XD

Yuji as a bad guy...I honestly never thought I would do that.

I agree with you. Her clothes are one of the inspirations for how I picture Azami. Although Azami is usually more...dominatrix-y.

Bashir: Well, Ensign, it isn't -you,- per say...(unsure of what to say)

x) its really a shame I don't know you in person. You'd be so much fun to terrorize. Oh, god, now I'm turning into a sadist!

Holmes: It isn't me, 'per say'? Care to elaborate, Doctor? Unless...well, she looked at my uniform. And considering that the only difference is red vs blue, I'm inclined to think that either she feels very strongly about blue as her favorite color, or there's something about the red she objects to...(leans forward) I can guess is you'd rather not tell me outright...

lol, hey, if you go sadist I might not be able to resist you! 00' ;) I had to fire back. The one-sided exchange was getting sad on my end, lol.

Bashir: Well.... (looks around uncomfortably, then leans forward, too) Let's just say that red has not been the bringer of good things for Ms. Collins.

Lmao I nearly fell out of bed reading that one. xDD Well, hey, let me go find my rope....

'Kay, so I just bought a calligraphy pen in preparation for the Asuna pic completion! Just send me the sketch idea when you're done, and I'll get it up asap. ^^

Holmes: I see. Well, given that she's both stubborn and female, I doubt I'll change her mind overnight. I had a feeling this would happen at some point. Probably thinks my head will swell like a balloon from getting that award...

I'll bring my own whip...
...
lmao

Sure thing. I'll get to work on it tonight and I should have it done by tomorrow.

Bashir: Give her some time. You're a nice guy, she'll come 'round eventually. If you'd like, I could talk to her...?

Lmao, just rofl. I'm so proud of you! You're making such progress.

Holmes: That's alright, Doctor. Collins...I know that name. But why...(smacks hand on table) Admiral Collins! Well, that explains a lot, if I'm guessing correctly...

I'm working hard at it ^^ lol!

Bashir: From what I gather, he's an important figurehead. Apart from that, I'm araid my knowledge is lacking...

I must say I was floored with that one! I didn't even know you OWNED a whip! ;)

Holmes: He's a very prominent Admiral. He could mobilize all of Starfleet if he wanted to. I bet there were guys...wearing red...oh, no wonder she hated me instantly!

Oh, sure. I got it for when Azami was torturing Yuji. I wanted to know what I was really writing about. That's why it's so realistic. Except I couldn't find an Azami to my Yuji. Whipping yourself just holds no satisfaction compared to the real thing...
And that's how I became a submissive.
LMAO! jk, of course! I'm not THAT far gone quite yet XD

Bashir: Still, a stereotype is a stereotype.

Lmao you... scare me sometimes. 00'

Holmes: Very true. Well, on the upside, I'm nothing like she's assuming, so I don't have to do anything special to change her mind. Then again, I'm not very good at understanding the fairer sex. Have you any advice, Doctor?

lol, that was the idea. I can't even take myself seriously when I type that stuff. And I guarantee you I'd NEVER be able to spit that out to a girl in real time.

Bashir: Just try to find a few excuses to be around her. Not enough to be a nuisance, but enough to speed up the process. Try talking to Jadzia. I hear she and Amy get along quite well.

You're a riot.

Holmes: Er, Doctor...ah, about Lt. Dax. Are you and she...uh, that is...(sigh) Oh boy. You know, I'm making a jackass of myself, so I'll just drop it.

Lol, that's kind of you to say. It's good to know that I'm making progress with my sense of humor. I was worried that my emotion chip might not work...
Too much Star Trek. Too, too much Star Trek. lol.

Bashir: (looks confused, then eyes widen in understanding) Oh, good heavens, no! Although, I do admit that ever since we set foot on this station I practically worshiped her. (sighs dramatically) But alas, 'tis unrequited. (rests his chin in his hand, looking at Dan, amused) Why, are you... Are you interested in Jadzia, Ensign?

xDDD Data. I <3 Data. Even Data gets the girls. ;)

Holmes: Very amusing, Doctor. The Lt is very...well, noticeable. I'm hardly the type to have my head turned by a woman constantly, so when it happens it's a bit stirring. If you saw her first, I will absolutely back off.

Data is the freakin' man. Android. Whatever. Poor, poor Tasha.

Bashir: Just because I saw her first doesn't mean I get first dibs. That's totally up to her. Me, I've got a bad rap for being a Romeo. She is quite immune to my charms. You, on the other hand... Who knows. I say, go for it. (claps him on the shoulder)

xD Mandroid. Poor Tasha.

Holmes: Well, if you're absolutely fine with it, Doctor. But I'm certain to be turned down. Without buttering you up, if you didn't manage to charm her, I certainly won't. By the way, if you're fine with dismissing formality for the time being, you can call me 'Dan'.

You ever notice Star Trek women don't ever stay dead? Janeway, Tasha, Troi (I think; can't remember for sure)...lol.

Bashir: Then I insist you call me Julian. But honestly, don't dismiss yourself so easily. I certainly have no idea what type of man Jadzia is in to. You may be exactly her type. You're bright, modest, not unattractive, .... I'm absolutely fine with it, Dan, and I really think you ought to go for it.

00' you're right!

Holmes: Well then, Do-Julian, I'll give it a shot. As soon as I figure out how to approach her. I'm really not good with women...How do YOU approach it? Talking to them, I mean?

Not so with the men. They get captured and survive, but if they die they stay that way. Or they get cloned, ala Riker and Data.

^., not ?

Bashir: (laughs) Well, how would you approach me? In a general context, not... (sigh)

xD True. And what?

Holmes: No, I sort of get it. Let's say you're Lt Dax. Aside from the usual 'hi, how are you' stuff that's standard, how do I actually phrase the 'how about going out with me?' part?

Mistake in my punctuation. I meant to put a period and instead added a question mark. bleh. --'

Oh, I get it. xD it looked like gibberish to me.

Bashir: Well... talk to her for a bit, get her conversation juices flowing, then say something like, "Say, Jadzia, do you have plans for dinner tonight?" The rest should fall into place. If she says no, that doesn't necessarily mean she's not interested. Keep that in mind. Just try again some other time.

lol at you, because I fixed it before your comment came through! Yes, yes! (pumps arms in the air) I win! (stops) Wow, I really need to not do that XD

Bashir: (looks at Holmes walking away, then back to Amy) It may just be my imagination, but I do believe Ensign Holmes just received the 'cold shoulder.'

Amy: (surprised) what are you talking about?


That's quite a good idea!

Bashir: You should be honest at least with yourself, Amy. You didn't like Ensign Holmes for some reason. He was perfectly polite from what I heard, so either he made a vulgar gesture...(stands up, holding a hypospray out to her)
Or you have some reason to instantly dislike him for a reason known only to you.

I can't believe it didn't occur to me until just now! Now THAT has possibilities for both OC's!

Oh- I updated 'Mercenaries'. Enjoy!

Amy: (looks uncomfortable) Was I that obvious?

It's brilliant! Both OC's?

Bashir: Oh, just a little. He certainly got your message. What IS it, exactly, that made you not like him so quickly, if I may ask?

We could do something like "okay, Amy knows she doesn't like Holmes. Holmes gets that. He realizes who her father is, and sort of wonders if she's a spoiled daddy's girl. She assumes that's what he thinks" We would just need to cook up instances where they speak to someone about each other. (Bashir, I think, would do best).

Amy: (flushes, embarrassed) I... I've just come not to trust men like him, is all.

Ah, that'd make for a good episode or two.

Bashir: 'Men like him'? What's "Like him", exactly? All I see is a starfleet officer...

It could turn into a he said, she said thing with Bashir caught in the middle.

Amy: (gets on the defensive) Command-jocks. Red-jackets. Whatever you feel like calling them. They enjoy playing the 'hero,' with a big ego, to boot. All they think about is furthering their career. (straightens her jacket uncomfortably, then hands him back his hypospray)

Perrrrrfect! You, my friend, are brilliant!

Bashir: (Takes the hypospray, eyes wide) WHere on earth did you formulate that opinion?

(blushes) Nawwww! I just get ideas! lol

Amy: (picks up a data padd and begins busily typing away) Experience. A lot of it.

(elbows side) Brilliant ones!

Bashir: Let me guess...an old boyfriend on the command track?

Nawwww! XD

Amy: (fumbles the data padd, almost dropping it, before recovering it to continue typing) What? No, I've just met a lot of red-jackets in my time. All they're interested in is connections. To the fast-track.

Yawwww! x)

Bashir: (gentle smile) I'm not buying it. That outlike is fine, but the way you reacted to Ensign Holmes indicates a personal dislike. It goes deeper than a stereotype, and I think you know that.

No way, nuh-uh! XD

I've got to admit, maybe I'm doubting myself too much, but I'm worried about the direction I'm giving Yuji in Mercenaries. Not so much this chapter but the next one.

Amy: (chews on her lip) It's not a stereotype! I haven't met a single red-jacket who wasn't interested in taking advantage of my relationship with my father in some form or another.

Yaw-huh.

Well, in between writing, I'm reading it. But if you're seriously worried, you can email it to me when you're done and I'll tell you what I think.

Bashir: Ensign Holmes certainly didn't seem that way. In fact, I don't know if you've heard, but... (tells about the Bajoran incident in my pilot)

No way, no how, uh-uh.

I think it'll be apparent by the end of this chapter. I've been dying to tell you about this for a while, but I wanted to get it up first ^^ It's just, now that I've finally done it, I'm concerned. lol, low self esteem.

Amy: Great. An Ensign- hero. (snorts) That won't go to his head at all.

Hmm... Do I need to... persuade you?

xD I feel bad, ripping on Holmes like this. I'm going to have to find a way to make it up to him somehow. I actually feel a little guilty. xDDD

Oh, no, I didn't think it was. Also- :OOOOOOOOOOO

Bashir: Oh, come now, at least get to know the man before you judge him. The first thing he did was thank me for saving his life.

Oh, you mean with comments? ^^ (Pff. Wow. Cleary, writing Yuji/Holmes stories have ruined me XD)

Ah, don't worry about it. If anyone should feel guilt, I should. Look what I've done to him.

It'll make sense a little farther in (winces). If I'm guessing correctly at what :000000 meant, then yes, I really had to think about that one before I did it --' I still feel a little off about it.

Amy: (sniffs) Well, at least he has manners.

xD Well... *straightens your collar, letting her fingers wander over the back of your neck* Is that what they're calling it these days?

xD But still!

It makes sense. I commented. Brilliant work, my friend. ;-; Brilliant.

Bashir: Oh, come on. You might just like the fellow. Look at me. I get along with Garak. Who would have thought it!

I,er, wouldn't know. (nervous laugh)
Nah..XD

Thank you :) I've never made Yuji evil before. Justified or otherwise.
Yuji will eventually be modeled after this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycXgJ2lDT7s (The first guy you see, in front) I want to write a fight scene like this!

Amy: Red uniforms and I are like oil and water. We just don't mix.

Oh? (leans in dangerously close) Are we a bit girl-shy, hmm?

(Can I just say that teasing you is so hilarious? xD)

Other than "the girl is hot," all I can say is "ewwwwwww." xD

Bashir: You know, personality goes beneath the uniform. It seems a bit superficial to simply decide to dislike him. I wonder if you dislike Commander Sisko the same way.

Oh just a bit (sounding very casually nervous, lol)
Glad you're enjoying yourself XD

I meant to say 'only up until 2:25' --' But the guy with the sunglasses was who I wanted to model Yuji after in a way. You can see it in his new clothes, for example.
Which girl, btw? The blond, the one with the gun, or the one with who gets stabbed? I'm truly sorry about the grossout factor. I'm so used to that movie I didn't even think of it.

Amy: No, well, Sisko... it isn't the same. (frowns)

xD I am, tremendously.

Yeah, he's pretty b.a. until tentacles come out his freakin mouth! xD The one with the gun! Nah, it's okay. I watch my cousin play the resident evil games all the time. It was mostly the... I assume they're supposed to be hellhounds? And the tentacle-whatevers comin' out his mouth. xD

Bashir: What makes Sisko different than Ensign Holmes, then?

I am too, I suppose ^^ lol.

Ah, that'll do it. I love the hellhounds, though! See, I originally pictured Naruto and Sakura taking on Yuji. Just replace The guy and the girl with the guns with those two, and Yuji with Wesker. But I don't think I'll do that, because Sakura would feel sympathy, and she would tell Naruto. So maybe Kakashi and Gai vs Yuji like that or something.

Lol Bashir's making ME think as much as he's making Amy!

Amy: .... Sisko doesn't have as far to climb as Holmes. Holmes is barely starting his career, and he's bound to try to take the easy way out at some point. I have no respect for people like that.

Lol I bet you are. All this attention from a member of the opposite sex! Who woulda thought? ;p

Now THAT would be a fight I'd pay money to see.

^ No, that wasn't a hint to get you to read it, btw. Just realized that had to be how it came out --' It's more like this may be out of character for Yuji.

Amy: (addressing Julian, doing her best to ignore Dan) Do things like this happen often on DS9?
Holmes: ?????

xD

That sounds like a good idea. Got any suggestions?

Bashir: Well, maybe not this specifically, but we do get our share of emergencies.
Holmes: Excuse me, Ensign. Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting the impression you don't like me...

I do: Kejal. It means 'Freedom'. For our purposes, that can mean 'freedom from dependence on the Federation for Bajor's stability', making it a politcal message as well as a name. Odo would know that word, so maybe he can coin the name.

Well, I've got to go for the night. Early morning tomorrow. Blagh. But what can you do? ttyl friend! :)

Also, just some minor (if not amusing) errors. xD

His laughter failed pretty quickly when he saw who was on the other side. - You could rephrase this as 'The smile died on his face when...' It just doesn't flow quite right. Minor, though.


Quirk seemed a little taken aback, - Quirk? xD

Turning his back on Sisko, leaving the Commander with his index finger raised and his mouth open, ready to start telling the Ferengi off, Quark faced Holmes again, a greedy grin spreading across his wide face. - This is one LONG, structurally confusing sentence. xD

So much for my quiet entry to Deep Space Nine. he mused- might want a comma after nine, instead of a period.

I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad it 'felt' right. The one thing I really liked was that Odo didn't like Holmes. I didn't want everyone to like Holmes, and Odo seemed likely for that role XD

So, tell me how to take that XD

Damn Windows Speech Recognition! It saves your wrists, but dooms your content -_-' You have no idea how many corrections I DID make! Blah! I'll be correcthing those- thank you for point them out :)

So, how are you tonight?

back

That one was totally intended dirty. Take that however you like it. ;) (oops, i did it AGAIN, didn't i?)

I'm pretty good tonight. Still no word from my friend. -_- But, hey, he'll get around to it eventually. If not, then I will. xD

I see. Hmm. Well, how do I take this? I'll need to think about that... XD

Glad you're good :) Two of my buddies have been useless as of late, which means they're in for it, too.
I'm not doing so hot, come to think. Looks like no Trill spots for me at the convetion. I had 3 people lined up to make my costume- all three bailed! Then the costume pattern didn't come with instructions and fabric recommendations. So I'd imagine if I DO succeed in going Starfleet, the damned plane will crash or something -_-' Best not to tempt fate.

;) Take your time.

Well, I'm pretty sure they sell already made ones at amazon and ebay. You're just not trying hard enough! I'm sure that's the problem.

Hmm...(stroking chin)

Supposedly, wearing a ready-made costume is 'cheating' in the eyes of convention Trekkies (According to a Trekkie buddy of mine). The other end: Maybe I present myself as a professional instead of a fan and wind up on TV XD

I could do that for you... among other things... with my mouth. ;))))

Hey, nobody has to know where you got it!

Wow. So, uh, like what? ...XD

btw- in 'Serving', did Uzume's death make sense/fit the situation, do you think?

They can tell, I'm sure. If one of them can recite 'The Naked Now' word for word... I don't know. I've got one more lead before I call it quits, I think.

Oh, I'll leave that to your imagination. xD

btw- RANDOMNESS! xD Yes, I think it did.

I'm trying to watch the 3rd episode of DS9, but the audio is more than half a second off. It's two or three. xD

lol, well, my imagination is pretty vivid, so...XD

I was thinking about it, and I just couldn't decide if it worked out right. I don't think I rushed it, but I'm not sure it had the effect of 'okay, the audience knows it's coming, but it'll still be surprising'.

That would drive me absolutely insane.

Oh, really? *interested*

You worry too much! It worked perfectly.

It is. -_- I'm trying to play it with some other video player to see if that helps.

Unfortunately, I'm also exceedingly modest XD

Maybe, but I keep making the same stupid mistakes in most of my fics, so I want to make sure I'm correcting the problem.

Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Lol it happens.

Well, it worked. :)

It did! I switched from my DIVX player to Windows Media Player (which I usually hate. Perfectly synced. <3

Oh, good :) VLC media player usually works well, too.

I was thinking about where we could eventually go with this Bajoran terrorist group. That could lead into the episode I mentioned before about Kira and Amy on Bajor, stranded and trying to escape from within, while Sisko and Holmes try to get them out from above in a runabout. The terroists could be holding them hostage because they needed Kira for politcally leverage, and Amy to treat their wounded.

Ooh, that's good! I was also thinking... how to wrap up the situation with the Odyssey while tying into your story. I'm not quite sure.

Feel free to control Holmes for him and Amy to meet, btw.

If you don't mind a suggestion, I would say that having Odo conduct an investigation between the attack on the Odyseey and the runabout sabotage would tie the two stories together. Odo could then group all of the people involved together. Holmes mentions Dugan (Or 'Do Gun', if you prefer XD), and from there Odo gets his man (however related) after one more major act of sabotage.

Lol do you want to help me there? We could run a simulation, if you like.

Yes, input is most welcome! That's a good idea, but I've never been much good at mysteries. xDD

Sure. Do you want to start, or should I?

Okay, how about we eliminate the mystery. The Bajoran terrorists hail all ships in the area and threaten to destroy them if their demands are not met. That gives a name and face- Odo just has to find the operatives on the station, while the Odyssey and two runabouts fight the terrorists. Or something like that.

Take it away, Ern! (sorry, very vague harry potter reference xD)

Hmm... That will help.

lmao, nice. So, how about this:
(starting from the end of my chapter)
(Bashir and Amy are in sick bay, treating Sisco and O'Brien)
Holmes: ...And that's what happened. I guess I'd better hurry up and get my command codes.
Amy: (Great, another command-track super-jock. Word is he's the one who stopped the Bajorans the first time. Bet he's got an ego the size of a ((British comparison here))
Holmes: (Sees Amy) I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Ensign Daniel Holmes (speaking formally)


I think it actually makes more sense this way. If they're brazen enough to attack a ship like the Odyssey, then they're probably not shy about their identities.

Commented!

Yay! I'm glad you like it. Any further comments? Suggestions? What was/were your fave part/parts?

I liked the little back and forth between Amy and Bell. It was a nice touch. Oh, and Amy telling the dying woman that she would be fine. I thought that illustrated the rougher end of her career path nicely.
And go Bashir!

The only thing I would comment on to change is that it should be U.S.S. Odyssey. You just need that one more S in there.

Ah, poopie. You mentioned that before and I never did change it. Eh, tomorrow.

I almost felt bad, killing all those nameless crewmen when Mitchell was killed.

Nah, they're the redshirts of the modern era. Don't feel bad ^^ Their sacrifice was not in vain. I was amused XD

It happens. You will, no doubt, find millions of errors in my next submission (which I encourage- if I've missed them, I would like to know to fix them). Which, actually, is just about ready to be posted, actually. I've had far too much time on my hands lately.

Yayayay link it, link it, liiiiinnnnnnkkkkk itttttttttt!!!!!!!

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-101536.html

Linked :)
Okay, I shortened the chapter length so we can do more of an episode format. I also have no idea how this ends- the ball is in your court :) I think I gave Amy a proper write-in. Hope you enjoy it!

Commented! Love it! Although I probably won't get much done for the next two to three weeks.
