Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hey! I resent that! They also make me look dashing!" He gave a laugh as he continued after her. Unfortunately he had bad luck and wasn't as agile as she was. The person she had missed around that corner, Rennell ended up ramming right in to, sending them both to the floor.

But he was up and gone before avoiding a clipboard that was chucked at him as well as a few choice phrases thrown after him as well. Oh they would get over it and he had more important things. Though he sprinted the last bit of distance, seeing her fixing to use the transporter and popped in just as she activated it, grabbing her gently about the waist. "Gotcha."

"You resemble it! Clumsy!" She had yelled behind her right as she hit the transporter and activated it and he popped in right behind her. Damn, running from that angry worker he smacked into must have made him run faster. She blushed a little as he wrapped around her waist then moved her hands as if to remove him, but then just stopped. So dashing... "You like games a lot, do you not?" Stupid question, she knew was true. What he was doing right now was a game.

Lilia slowly typed an e-mail to her boss. She was no longer in front of her computer which she loved so much. No, her mother insisted she use teh latest model in teh house. So she did.

Dr. Trevale,
I'm deeply sorry about leaving so quickly without consulting you but I talked to your assistant. As I'm sure you know by now, my father had a heart attack. He is in ICU and is not doing any better. I saw the magazine article and I know that they blame me. My mother blames me but I suppose there is a point where that indeed is true. I knew what I was doing when I went to work for you and I knew how they would take it. I just wanted to let you know that I arrived safely and I am just fine down here. Say hello to Rosey and Rennell and James for me. Give Erik a hug and don't let James drive you crazy with the organization thing. Oh and if you need any files, do not hesitate to destroy my piles. I will reorganize them when I return. Thanks again.

Lilia

Pretty professional with just a hint of her own bouncy personality in it. Though she was not feeling very bouncy right now. Her mother had been constantly at her about her father's condition, telling her this was her fault and everythign would have been fine if she'd just stayed home. So she decided to go out for teh evening. She pulled on a dark blue dress and matching sexy heels, styled her shoulder length hair to flip out and applied some lip gloss. Dark blue nails and toenails and long dangling earrings with blue jewels at the end, completed the ensemble. She needed a night of fun.

Sneaking out her window made her feel like she was in high school but with her mother around, she'd be criticized over the shade of the dress and how short it was. It barely came past teh bottom of her thighs. She slipped into her silver LM200, a gift from her parents and drove to one of the clubs. Stepping inside she pasted a smile on her face and walked to the bar. "Martini, dry, two olives please."

She was lamenting her life and the circumstances she had fallen into in her mind when she heard a velvety masculine voice talking to her. She turned around behind her to make sure seh was indeed the one he was talking to. When it proved to be true she turned back and flashed him a small smile and a shrug "I guess because I am single tonight."

A few fingers ran through her hair and she finished off her martini and signaled the tender for another one. He quickly slid one down her way and she smiled at the man, though a bit taken aback by his blue hair. He had a nice build though and a pencil and pad. He reminded her a lot of the other types she knew, scientific and smart, always a good choice. But then he was a bit on the wild side too. Two earrings and blue hair, her mother would have a fit. Maybe that was why she smiled and said, "So would you care to sit down?"

Watching him for a moment, she suppressed a smile when his pencil found a spot behind his ear. She did the same thing and knew the gesture well. She also found it extremely sexy. A flash of her brilliant smile, this time it was real.

She took a sip of her own drink and placed her hand in his, "I'm Lillia." Probably better to not give her own last name. "Wonderful to meet you Daniel." As her fingers touched his, she felt a zap, almost liek an electric shock and an audible ping in her mind.

Lillia took another hasty sip as she pulled her own hand away. She felt like she had been shocked and she was not sure she liked what that implied. But then, she was on hiatus from work, had nothing but her mother driving her crazy, a hospital visit that depressed her every day, why not indulge a bit?

"DJ." She liked it, it suited him and his personality. A small laugh and a quizzical look. "Why would women push away from you?" she was truly puzzled about this, he seemed the type most women would go for. That hint of danger in his eyes. She started to analyze teh situation. "Do they push away before or after you start a conversation? Have either parties had anythign to drink?"

She caught what she was doing and flushed, "I am sorry DJ. I'm a scientist and when a problem is presented to me...I umm...tend to analyze it until I can find a plausible solution..." She looked down at her glass and fiddled with the stem of it.

He was indulging her? That was new. Most people got irritated when she started asking questions and trying to figure things out. She was starting to like DJ more and more. And it did not hurt that seh knew her mother would not approve. She caught teh comment about her clothes and felt her cheeks burn. "I...I was having a bit of trouble at home and I needed to get out. This seemed like the kind of outfit to wear for tonight..." she finished lamely. It was a stupid excuse and not entirely the truth but close.

"I work with animals mostly." She said carefully. She sighed and then said, "I was recently up in space working on Project Echo. I became the new intern onboard a few weeks ago but something happened back here and I was called back." Lillia did not see any reason why she should not be totally upfront with him. He seemed like a decent person.

"What about you? What do you do DJ?" She laughed a bit and took another sip. Was she getting drunk? No, she had only had...how many martinis had she had? She was pretty sure this was her second...but maybe not.
