[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] Myker was surprised by that bit of information, "Oh? I guess there's something for the bucket list then" Risa was a known destination for many folks to simply enjoy, he himself had been although briefly. Myker nodded at Judy's answer about her favourite planet. "Each planet has its own unique experience." with that being the case it would be difficult to pin down a favourite. Judith Eastman

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Wiliams - LZ-2 Colony]"I suppose I just never got around to Risa. I've kept awfully busy over the last... well, the last half-century, now that I think about it."By now, their walk found them off the main boulevard, on a residential street paved with cobblestone. The name on the street sign was "Crane Street".

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] Myker nodded, ”Maybe you’ll find time soon.” Myker noted, surely she was heading for retirement? Not that Myker would mention it, he’d often been told that humans don’t like their age being pointed out especially when they're older. So he refrained from stating that for fear of offending either of the two. Myker noted the street name, ”Are all the streets named after Earth birds?” He was curious about the naming convention on the names. Judith Eastman and Max

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - LZ-2 Colony]"Actually, this one's not named after a bird either," Max answered, and Judy's face started to turn red. "There was an incident on this street involving a crane. A Cardassian used one to commit a murder.""Street names are crowdsourced. It was very much not my idea," Judy clarified. "Officially, it is named after the bird, but... now you know the true story."

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] Myker had made an assumption based on what he knew and the fact that the truth was contrary to his assumption wasn't completely unheard of. There had to be a good story to the name if Judy was changing colour because of it. "Oh really?" that was intriguing and he was soon supplied the actual story. Myker looked at Max, bewildered that anyone would name after an incident like that. He bit back the quip about Cardassian's as Judy explained that it was not her idea. Myker simply nodded his response instead of answering with words. The Betazoid fell silent, not sure what to make of the story behind the street name. Then something occurred to him. "A crane? Like the bird or the tall machine used for moving equipment?" he asked, that would be two very different stories. Judith Eastman Judy and Max

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - LZ-2 Colony]"A construction crane," Judy answered. "But now that you've said it, I wonder how you could use the bird to commit murder.""Hypothetically, of course," Max added quickly, in case Judy's suddenly light tone didn't give away the joke. "I suppose if you had enough of them, you could use the combined weight as a bludgeon," Judy mused. "But that feels awfully boring, doesn't it?"

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] Myker rubbed the back of the neck as the realization that it was a daft question. "Yeah...of course it was a construction crane." He said but Judy didn't point out the stupid nature of his question choosing to rather work out how the bird could be used for a murder. "of course..." Myker nodded about it being hypothectical, he'd noted the lightness in tone so it was assumed to be the case because murder was highly discouraged. "Intresting." He said of Judy's ideas on how murder could be achieved, "Perhaps if someone put enough force behind the beak it could be use as a knife?" His tone light but still not giving way to any humor, although he wasn't serious. It wasn't something he'd reflect on too deeply but the lighter conversation shifted the awkwardness from his silly question. "There are certainly easier ways to commit murder though." He studied a few serial killers in his time, out of interest more than anything else. Judith Eastman and Max

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - LZ-2 Colony]"That would work," Judy agreed, enjoying the discussion. "You could also do something or other with the feathers, if you have enough prep time.""Our apartment is actually on this street. Pleasant place to stay for a long weekend, despite the name," Max added.

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] Judy seemed to be enjoying the discussion and Myker found it interesting too. Although hypothetical and strange conversation to have it was enjoyable in an odd way. "True, maybe gilding the feathers with a strong metal and then sharpened could make an unconventional but effective weapon to commit murder." He just hoped a murder didn't occur they'd be prime suspects. Max commented about their apartment being on this particular street. "I can imagine it's a nice stay aside from the murders." Again he wasn't serious but there was little indication of that humor in his tone. Judith Eastman and Max

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - LZ-2 Colony]"It is a lovely place, yeah. Very relaxing," Judy confirmed. "Why don't we go up?" Max suggested. "Judy and I can whip up some lunch."The kitchen was, after all, Max's natural habitat. Cooking was his trade and his passion.

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony] The conversation thankfully shifted away from murder, they may have created some suspicion if it had continued. The invitation had Myker hesitant for just a moment, being outside on neutral ground was one thing but being within someone's home was different.However it seemed Max was eager and so the Betazoid agreed, "Of course, it'll be a pleasure." he said.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - LZ-2 Colony -> Judy & Max's Apartment]The couple turned to one of the buildings, a squat three-story structure, and led Myker into it. "We chose an apartment on the second floor, if only because taking the stairs makes us feel young," Judy quipped, gripping the handrail firmly as she ascended said stairs. This then led them into the couple's apartment, a smallish space with plenty of windows and a large balcony.

[ Myker Vulbrix - LZ-2 Colony - Judy and Max’s Apartment] Myker followed the couple to the three story building, it was much like any other building on the street and similar to other colonies. As Judy began ascending the stairs Myker resisted the urge to reach out and help her. The Command officer was getting on in years but was hardly elderly and the gesture could possibly offend so he didn’t. He did wait till the couple were a few steps ahead of him before following though. The apartment was bright and open given all the windows. So even though the space was small it was roomy, plus the large balcony created more space and a way to admire whatever view the space had to offer. ”I see why you enjoy it here.” he noted.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Judy & Max's Apartment]"Yes, it's lovely," Judy agreed. Max made his way into the kitchen, which was really just one wall in the open plan of the apartment. "I suppose we should make something relatively simple, given the time. Maybe a pasta salad?" he suggested.

[ Myker Vulbrix - Judy and Max's apartment] Myker looked to Judy again, nodding when she confirmed it was indeed lovely. Max's voice from the kitchen drew the Betazoid's attention in that direction. "That seems like a good choice." Not that the man had a refined taste of any kind. Whatever Max made up would be just fine. Judith Eastman and Max
