Chapter Text

DS9SecurityChief: shorts, found on the promenade 

a blue pair of gym shorts on the floor of Deep Space 9's promenade

AlkuMaj: oh

RaktajinoLiving: um

GaraksClothiers: my goodness

MasterOfFixIt: looks like something you would wear, Julian lol

DrBashir: absolutely not, where’s the rest of them

GaraksClothiers: I’d kill him first. 

DrBashir: Garak!

MasterOfFixIt: but, you know, that silver thing you go about in

DrBashir: about that, I haven’t seen it in months. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you, Garak?

GaraksClothiers: I have no idea which silver thing you mean. 

Worm4ever: lol very convincing 

LobeLiving: hey! I saw those the other day! Took a picture, but I didn’t have time to stop by Odo’s. 

a pair of crumpled blue gym shorts on the floor of the promenade, next to a console

LtnTonia: but why would they even be there. I get losing small things like jewelry, but a pair of shorts…on the promenade…

QuarksBar: well, people are always losing something. That’s why it’s a good idea to come by Quark’s Bar and play our Dabo Wheel for a chance to win!

DS9SecurityChief: Quark. 

QuarksBar: prizes include gold-pressed latinum, more gold-pressed latinum, and why not? A new pair of shorts.

DS9SecurityChief: I’m warning you.

EnsVilX: a lot of people don’t wear shorts

VedekFan: are they even shorts? They look more like underpants. The Prophets only approve of certain undergarments.

RaktajinoLiving: kheet’agh, the Prophets never said one thing about underpants!! Stop it!

DetyeSoysa: no, no they really didn’t

UpWithWorkers: maybe they just fell out of someone’s bag

ProfK.O.B.: I remember that once upon a time I lost a whole pair of shoes at Venice Beach

LeetaLights: I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised at all to know what people leave behind at the bar…once I found an entire suit of clothes.

AllTheNewsThatsFitToPrint: wait, how would that work? Wouldn’t someone notice?

CaptSisko: let’s keep this conversation suitable for the general public, please

GaraksClothiers: I’m sure the individual simply changed for the holosuite and left the outfit they arrived in.

AllTheNewsThatsFitToPrint: oh, that does make sense.

RaktajinoLiving: how many outfits has @DrBashir left behind in the shop, Garak?

GaraksClothiers: Left behind? Oh, none, of course, he’s very conscientious.

Worm4ever: you didn’t ask him how many he’d taken back to his quarters for him later, Kira, lol

CaptSisko: look, the shorts are in Odo’s office, and I know they aren’t mine, but they do look like something Jake would wear. Whoever left them on the promenade, don’t do it again, and go get them.

AllTheNewsThatsFitToPrint: hey!

MornDayandNight: They’re mine.
