[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] Now that she had asked the question, Thea felt another sudden rush of nerves, which left her wondering why, why did this happen, when she was having such a good time. Inwardly cursing herself for letting the doubt back out and perhaps it was down to, the realisation that she liked Isaiah. Of course she couldn't tell him that as she didn't know if she could deal with the rejection, if he didn't feel the same way. Thea hated this part, whenever she felt close to someone, especially one who shared so many of her interests. Besides she didn't know if it was going to lead to that and so she had to reign it in, bury it deep and just see where it went, rather than face the embarrassment, if he did just want to be friends. If that happened then she would blessed to have such a good friend, but for now, she put on her best smile, which turned into a genuine one as he told her that he still wanted to join her. When he also admitted about his curiosity as to why she kept going back there, Thea grinned, before he asked if she could share some details as he would like to be as prepared as possible and how he was sure it wouldn't spoil the experience. Thea decided to keep him hanging for a moment as she pretended to give it some serious thought. Knowing that she couldn't keep it from him any longer. " Since you asked so nicely, I will say be prepared for a night of fun, dancing and dress smart casual".

[...] When he also admitted about his curiosity as to why she kept going back there, Thea grinned, before he asked if she could share some details as he would like to be as prepared as possible and how he was sure it wouldn't spoil the experience.

" Since you asked so nicely, I will say be prepared for a night of fun, dancing and dress smart casual".[Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah came to a stop several times during their stroll through the park. It seemed that some of the arrangements had actually contained the names of the flowers and their planet of origin. Luckily, there didn't appear to be any 'Harveys' on display. Considering all the trouble the plant apparently caused on his first day here, it was probably a very wise decision. His attention was certainly on the clues... or lack thereof that Thea had shared about this holonovel. He began to concentrate on what he knew and tried his best to extrapolate as best he could. It took place in the 1960s, that was a fact for certain. She'd told him to prepare for a night of fun, dancing and to dress smart casual. At least he knew music would be involved, and it gave him the idea of the setting... or at least the setting of the beginning scenes. Though, it didn't divulge much of the plot. It was likely a curse of being a scientist, because he found himself rarely satisfied with a lack of information. He had to figure out, how he could get a bit more information from Thea. "Smart casual," Isaiah repeated aloud. "So, I probably shouldn't wear exactly what you'll be wearing." he said teasingly. He knew enough about 1960s fashion to know that his attire would differ greatly compared to whatever Thea selected. Still, he made a mental note to do a little research before hand. After all, she had invited him, so he felt he had a responsibility to indulge in the period's fashion wholeheartedly. "I don't suppose you could tell me anything more? Perhaps tease the plot just a bit, or even a little background on our characters."

[Thea - Park, Deck 6] Even though she should be appreciating the garden and focusing on the various plants and flowers. Thea was instead focused on their conversation, especially now that she had provided a few teasing hints as to what Isaiah could expect, when he joined her in her favourite era and holonovel. She had to admit that it was a lot of fun to keep him guessing and looked forward to hearing what he thought, about the clues she had given so far. She tried to remain as calm and elusive as possible as to not to give the game away too much. However the medic had to admit, she liked how he repeated the dress code out loud and used it to tease her with the comment, he then made. " Oh I don't know about that, I think you would look good in a dress" she quipped back, with a playful grin and a slightly evil glint in her eye. Teasing him like this was easy, before he then asked for a little more information, about the plot or the background on their characters. " Hmm should I or shouldn't I?" she teased again, as she gave it some consideration. " No I'm not that mean, but why don't we sit down for a little bit and I can tell you, what you want to know".Again her response was playful and hoped he would be intrigued enough to accept her offer, especially since she was willing to divulge some further insight into the novel.

[Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah chuckled a bit at Thea's play quip that he would look good in a dress. "Oh? So you think I have the legs to pull it off then?" he replied. He didn't have any intention of wearing a dress when they went to the holodeck, but he didn't see why he couldn't enjoy a bit of playful banter with Thea. She seemed to be rather coy in evading the revelation of further details. It was almost as if she were dangling a carrot of truth just out of reach. She then suggested that they have a seat so that they could further discuss what she could reveal about the holonovel. Again, he had no rush, so he didn't object to the suggestion. Looking around, he spied a vacant bench and gestured towards it. "Let's have a seat over there," Isaiah suggested. He headed towards the bench, and as they reached it lowered himself onto one side of the bench. He watched Thea to see if she would take her seat next to him. "All right," he said, having agreed with her previously. "You have my undivided attention. What sort of plot points are you going to tease me with now?"

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] It was certainly refreshing to engage in playful banter with Isaiah, especially as he chuckled at the quip she had made, before counteracting with one of his own. " Oh most definitely" she retorted, letting her imagination run away for a moment as to what his legs would like it and not just in a mini dress or skirt. When he agreed to her suggestion of sitting down, Thea grinned, knowing he couldn't resist the allure of learning more about the holo novel. So as he indicated a nearby bench, Thea nodded and followed him, before becoming a little hesitant as to where she should sit. Her heart was telling to sit directly beside him, whilst her inner saboteur was telling her to sit towards the other end of the seat. However it was her heart that won, that particular internal battle, aware that Isaiah was watching her as she sat beside him, then came the feeling that she had made the right choice. When he then told her that she had his undivided attention and asked what sort of plot points, she was going to tease him with, Thea grinned as she thought about what she should share. Deciding on revealing a little background on her character first, as she was unsure how she should broach the subject of who he could play. " Well, how about the fact that my character is a famous model, who doesn't take herself seriously and likes to have fun?" she replied, her tone still playful as she paused, wondering if she should just bite the proverbial bullet and tell him the rest. " I also know which character you could play .... but I was worried ..... well ... it's ... I'm just going to come out and say it and it'll be entirely up to you, if you want to be someone else ..... she has a love interest .. a media mogul".It was then that Thea closed up, thinking that she had probably said enough and wouldn't blame Isaiah, if he didn't want to go through with taking part.

[...] Deciding on revealing a little background on her character first, as she was unsure how she should broach the subject of who he could play.

[Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] As the details began to flow, Isaiah found himself very attentive. Thea first spoke about her own character. Apparently in this holonovel she was supposed to be a famous model. He nodded slowly not finding that difficult to believe at all. The rest of the description did make him think however. She was supposed to be someone that didn't take herself seriously and liked to have fun. "Okay, I think I can see that," Isaiah agreed with a smile. From what he'd seen of Thea thus far was that she was willing to have fun. He didn't think she was one that was particularly carefree as the character she described, but all was fun in a holonovel, right? She then went on to describe his character, though right off the bat, she seemed a bit reluctant. Her initial fumbling caused his brow to furrow slighlty. Was the character that atrocious? It only begged the question what sort of holonovel she'd been using. Finally, she seemed to work up the nerve to just blurt it out, with the caveat that he could choose some other character if he preferred. She finally revealed the character to be her character's love interest: a media mogul. At first, Isaiah, didn't say much other than "I see." He leaned back on the bench, and lifted his head slightly to gaze upwards. His mind seem to turn over the idea that had been described thus far about both their characters. His finger even tapped on the arm of the bench as he began to think. "Is there anything else?" he asked, though he was still looking upwards processing it all.

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] Now that she had blurted out the truth, more of out nerves and fear, than anything else. Thea didn't know what to do as the inner saboteur reacted with glee and the happy playful mood, that she had been in, vanished as if she had been doused in ice. Internally she felt terrible, because she had hoped that, by telling him this now, rather than spring it on him at the last minute, it wouldn't be this embarrassing or awkward. Even as he responded with how he could see that with her character, it didn't make her feel any better, but tried to be as normal as possible as she replied. " Thank you, it just appealed to me, when I was first introduced to the programme" she admitted, knowing that pretending to be a famous model, was something that only happened in the holodeck. It allowed to play out a side of her, that was hidden away, whenever she doubted herself and in some ways reminded her of how much she had changed, since her rebellious years. But at this very moment, she didn't know what to do, especially as Isaiah lost all of his playfulness or perhaps that was her imagination, with how answered her regarding her revelation. She wouldn't blame him, if he no longer wanted to take part and if he didn't want to run with her anymore then she would understand. Deep down, she knew she was overthinking things and maybe it wasn't that bad. Although when he looked upwards and tapped the bench with his arm, the internal battle raged on and she felt as though she needed to apologise. When he then asked if there was anything else, Thea didn't know what to say, but when she did pluck the courage, her voice was definitely quieter. " No I think I've told you everything without spoiling it all ..... I do want to apologise though for springing that on you now .... but I felt it was important to let you know now rather than later".

When Thea ravealed she didn't have anything else to tell him without spoiling the rest of the program, he only gave an audible affirmation. "Mm-hmm," he mutter quickly. He still seemed to be wrestling with something in his mind, but was only pulled from his musings as he heard Thea apologize. His eyes finally shifted from their upwards gaze to fall upon the doctor. She apologized for springing this on him now, but she seemed to feel that it was the lesser of two evils. The greater of course being him finding out as soon as they entered the holodeck. He nodded slowly. "Thanks. I appreciate that. And you did the right thing. He let out a long breath and shook his head. "I'm really going to have to think about this. The words seemed to linger as he reached up and rubbed his chin with his other hand. He made certain his eyes were squarely upon Thea's. "I don't know the first thing about being a media mogul," he stated. "I'm definitely going to have to do some research before... when did you want to get together to run this program again?"

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] Why was this so difficult?, Thea thought to herself, now that she had apologised to Isaiah and anxiously awaited his answer and forgiveness. It wasn't as if she was completely inhuman and had never liked someone before, so why did it feel as though, she had reverted back to being a teenager, experiencing her very first crush. Perhaps it was a way to protect herself, like she had done countless times over the years. Thea wasn't perfect and had her heart broken for being too trusting, too oblivious to those who had simply wanted to use her and take advantage for her medical knowledge. Even her last relationship had purely been based on the physical, because she had decided that she didn't want to be hurt again. So why did she feel this way, when there was the possibility that Isaiah wasn't interested in anything other than them being friends. Not that she would blame him, for the way she had acted. Who would want to explore that possibility with someone who turned into a blabbering idiot, the moment, she had realised about the characters in the holonovel, how it would come across, just because she'd let her heart rule her head. Was it because he was so easy to talk to and get along with, or because he was the first man that she had met, who shared more than just one common interest and hobby. Her thoughts then turned to why she was doing this right now, when he probably already thought she was crazy and acting so unlike, how she perceived herself. She may appear to be confident and she was, but when it came to her private life ..... The audible affirmation from Isaiah, stopped her from continuing on the spiralling path to Pityville and yet, still felt the anxiety and nerves, rising up as her heart hammered in her chest once more. When he then looked at her, it felt as though she was holding her breath, before he told her that he appreciated the apology and why she had told him this now, rather than later. There was some appeasement in how she felt as he confirmed that she had done the right thing and understood that he needed to think about it. " That makes me feel a little better and of course, I understand that" she replied, her voice still quiet and soft, some self conscious punishment for being so Thea. Hesitation followed as it usually did, but kept herself from saying anything else, before his eyes met hers and for a brief moment, she could so easily fall into them. Then reality kicked in and she heard him admit that he didn't know anything about being a Media Mogul and how he would need to do some research. There was a glimmer of hope forming within as it sounded as though he still wanted to go ahead with joining her. " That's fair and reasonable Isaiah, I had to do the same and from what I understand they have a lot of power and influence, in the realm of TV and other media".She wanted to be helpful or at least try to since she had been the one to drop this bombshell on him without much warning. When he then asked about when she was wanting them to get together to run the programme, her mood brightened a little. " I was thinking in a couple of days or whenever is best for you" she revealed, before a sudden thought came to her, as she realised that she had missed out a key detail about the novel. " Also I apologise again, as I've realised that you don't know our character names, which are Rex Mulligan for you and mine is Avery Knight".
That said, Thea was ready for the ground to open up and swallow her, either that or to least move slightly away from him, but found herself rooted to the spot, praying that he wouldn't think she was completely crazy.

That said, Thea was ready for the ground to open up and swallow her, either that or to least move slightly away from him, but found herself rooted to the spot, praying that he wouldn't think she was completely crazy. [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Thea was understandable to Isaiah's plight, and even went as far as to help him mentioning that that media moguls had lots of power in television and other media. Of course, she seemed in brighter spirits now. It was only a few moments prior to that that she seemed troubled by something. For a moment, he thought she was going to have to excuse herself, and he certainly would have understood. After all, she had a very demanding position being the Chief Medical Officer, not to mention the station's second officer as well. "And this was prior to the internet," Isaiah said as he tried to recall his history. "So, I guess that means television, radio and print were the only forms of media available." He wanted to make certain that he had a good frame of reference when he went back to research before their meeting. He always believed a holonovel was at its best if you made it as authentic as possible. Thea stated that she had thought that they could try the program in a couple of days. He nodded along, thinking that would give him enough time to do his research and prepare. She even went on to reveal their characters' names. He was supposed to be someone called Rex Mulligan. The name itself seemed to suggest an alpha personality. It was suitable. Thea's character was supposed to be Avery Knight. It was slightly exotic and catching, also suitable for the type of character that she had described. Of course, Isaiah still didn't want to let what he'd witnessed go unaddressed. "Hey, Thea," he began, "I just wanted to make sure that everything's okay." He paused only a moment before continuing. "It's just... I noticed a few moments ago, you seemed... I dunno, like you thought you forgot to close someone up after a surgery." He chuckled a bit, but allowed it to fade. "I mean, you seem fine now, so I assume everything's fine now?"It was more of an observation than an actual question. He took a deep breath, not entirely sure what he was trying to say himself. Though, he thought that since there didn't appear to be a moment of distress, that their focus could return to the holonovel. "And this would take place where? New York? Los Angeles? London?" Those each seemed to be pretty prominent cities during that time.

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] With Isaiah asking more about his role as a media mogul, the battle within Thea came to a temporary ceasefire, happy that he wanted to confirm what he knew. " It was and yes, you're right, Rex built up his business from scratch and that's how he met Avery" she replied, probably sharing another teaser, but she didn't care now that her heart was no longer trying to escape and her voice had returned to normal. Thea was also happy that he nodded to her suggestion of trying out the programme in a couple of days. Her happiness was more out of relief than anything and hoped that the internal terror and fear had been sedated for the time being. Or that's what she thought, before Isaiah then told her that he wanted to make sure that she was okay. That's when the ceasefire threatened to break, as the fear of being found out, began to rise up from deep within her. Had he noticed the way that she had looked at him or maybe he was secretly Betazoid. No she had to think rationally and not embarrass herself further by revealing her feelings so soon. The threat of rejection hovered over her, like a vulture and in the end gave herself an internal slap to pull herself together, as Isaiah continued. It was sweet in a way, that he had noticed and obviously cared for her well being and sanity. But coming out with, oh it's because I really like you Isaiah, wasn't something she needed to share right now. So instead she smiled, pretending that everything was okay, to the point that she believed it herself as she reassured him. " Yes sorry about that, no idea what happened but everything is definitely okay now".Although she was glad when he didn't seem to linger on that observation and continued with their conversation, by asking where the novel took place and offered up some names. " London, it has a great atmosphere".

" Yes sorry about that, no idea what happened but everything is definitely okay now".Although she was glad when he didn't seem to linger on that observation and continued with their conversation, by asking where the novel took place and offered up some names. " London, it has a great atmosphere".[Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah was a bit more impressed by the description of Rex as Thea told him more about the character. He had risen to his status as a mogul by starting from scratch. Part of Isaiah began to wonder what that meant for his psyche. Clearly, he was determined and persistent in his endeavors, and likely very shrewd and cunning. However, what did that mean for his personal life? Was he typically cold and distant? Was he ruthless and greedy? He supposed there were a number of ways the character could be portrayed. Yet, at the same time, he wasn't sure how much he was supposed to know. The holonovel would likely provide some context clues. He also didn't care to spoil the surprise. As Thea explained that everything was okay, and that she ahd no idea what had happened before, Isaiah went along with it. He honestly wasn't sure he believed her entirely, but she was entitled to her privacy. And clearly, she wasn't comfortable sharing that with him right now. He couldn't blame her for that. They hadn't met that long ago, and it took time to build that level of trust. He certainly wasn't going to push the matter. He chose to accept Thea's word for what it was. She finally revealed that this would be all taking place in London. "Well, it seems that someone has the home field advantage then," Isaiah stated. He'd grown up in New York and lived on the (American) west coast while he had been attending Starfleet Academy. He'd never really had the chance to visit London for more than a couple of hours at a time. However, he assumed that Thea had likely been rather familiar with the place. "Is there anything else you think I would need to know?" Isaiah asked. "Particular locations? Other supporting characters?" He paused a moment to see if any other details he'd need to know. "And our characters... are they just meeting for the first time, or have they known one another for a while?" That was certainly a valid question. He'd hate to introduce himself to someone he was supposed to already know.

Thea - Park, Deck 6] Thea hated pretending that everything was okay and wished that she did have the courage to tell Isaiah exactly why she had acted the way she did. But something inside her, whether it was the fear of rejection or because it had come at her like a runaway train so soon after getting to know him, had stopped her. Besides there was only so many times that she could come across as a jabbering embarrassing idiot and she felt as though once was enough today. Yet despite all of that, Thea managed to clamour back some control over her emotions and feelings as Isaiah seemed to accept what she had said, before he remarked, how she had the advantage, given the novels location. " I suppose I do" Thea replied softly with a smile. If she was being honest, that had never really occurred to her, until now and had to admit, that gave her another reason to show the Scientist the programme. When Isaiah then asked if there was anything else that he needed to know, Thea was able to think a little more clearly, now that she wasn't filled with immediate panic. Listening as he continued as to whether there were any specific locations, supporting characters and more importantly the relationship between Rex and Avery. " There's the club that we start off with, but there is other locations, their apartments, the studio and well I'll keep some as a surprise" she said, her playfulness returning momentarily. " As for supporting characters, just the usual really, friends, staff, that kind of thing and our characters have known each other, for about six months but this is their first official date".Thea realised how that sounded, but what was the point in lying again, when he needed to know for the programme. Then the panic and fear started to creep up once more and she fought hard to stop it from turning her into a blabbering mess again.

Then the panic and fear started to creep up once more and she fought hard to stop it from turning her into a blabbering mess again. [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Park, Deck 6, Front Ear Station] Isaiah continued to absorb all of the details that Thea was sharing. The locations she share sounded reasonable from what he could interpret of the plot. She did decide to keep some of them a surprise. He was hoping that some of it would actually reveal a bit more about London as a whole. Of course he would be seeing the city nearly 400 years in the past, but it could still help establish the character of the city even now. She didn't expound upon the supporting cast very much. She kept it very general. Isaiah chalked it up that they may not be overly central to the plot of the holonovel. He did learn that both Rex and Avery would have known one another for about half a year, and that the novel would kick off with their first official date. He took a moment to think about the last detail. He supposed that was as good a place to start as any. You didn't have to go through the faux act of meeting someone for the first time, yet you could authentically take some time to get to know the characters. It was rather ingenious if he were honest. "Interesting," he said simply. "What about the antagonist? I assume there has to be someone or something that will be responsible for the flow of the plot. If this was a romantic holonovel, which was the interpretation he was starting to get, there was likely something consistently causing conflict with the progression of the main characters. He wondered if it was a different suitor or an ex-lover. Perhaps it was something even more sinister like a stalker. Of course, all the secrets of the plot currently rested with Thea.

[ Thea - Park, Deck 6] Having gone through a turbulent emotional rollercoaster over the course of the last few minutes or however long it had been. Thea was definitely in need of something strong, either that or cake, chocolate cake and perhaps a visit to the Spudriq as well, to find solace in food, in an attempt to forgot the less pleasant aspects of her time with Isaiah. It was nothing that he had done, far from it, more so because of her own behaviour and how she could of easily turned him off her, for the way she had gone on. Luckily for her, Isaiah wasn't that type of person and she did consider herself fortunate, because of how nice and understanding he was. No she had definitely found a kindred spirit in Isaiah and even if her honesty or heart could try to get her into trouble, it hadn't completely ruined everything. Okay there had been another wobble after answering his questions. Although his reaction to what she had told him, was once again more positive than she could of imagined. Managing a smile as he spoke, before he asked about the antagonist and if there was someone or something that was responsible for the plot. Thea wondered if she should tell him everything about that particular aspect. Instead she settled on giving him some of the details. " There is, I will say that there's a group involved and put it this way, they're not exactly nice .... but we don't meet them straightaway".
