B5 Valentines!

[Ubik]

So, it's Valentine's Day today... and I'm not exactly a fan!

As if you need a specific day to tell someone you love them. Anyhow, before I start ranting like a disenfranchised single man, I'll pose you a question:

If you could have a Valentine's day dinner date with anyone on B5 who would it be, and why?

[phazedout]

Ivanova, why is there a reason needed/

Frankly having spent several hours in Claudia's company, I've pretty much had that so I'm happy enough

I think I'd (quite predictably) ask Kosh out on a date... I imagine it would go something like this:

Wide shot of 'Fresh Air', B5's most exclusive restaurant. We cut to a table, Kosh is stood at the head of the table, Ubik is seated opposite him.

Ubik: "Kosh.... So glad you could make it! You look great tonight. Did you polish your encounter just for me? I'm flattered".

Kosh: ...YES....

Waiter: So, what'll it be? We have honest to god steak on the menu tonight if your credit chit can stretch to it.

Ubik: I'll have the streak, can't remember the last time I tasted real meat.

Waiter: (turns to Kosh) and for the ambassador?

Kosh: ...YES...

Waiter: Talkative fellow...

Ubik: He'll have the steak.

Kosh: IMPUDENT!

[An energy surge is noticed in Command and Control.]

Ubik: He gets like this sometimes, don't mind him. You'd have expected such an ancient race to have developed better table manners wouldn't you? Just a green salad for the ambassador, he's watching his waistline.

Kosh: Incorrect! (Kosh's encouter suit iris dilates and glows with a brilliant blue light)

Ubik: Ahhh... Best make that the grilled Spoo...

Kosh: Disobedient!

Kosh fires a bright flash of energy from his Iris, flinging his dining partner clean across the restaurant. He lands unconscious and broken in a corner next to a party of Centauri.

Kosh: The avalanche has already started... It is too late for the pebbles to vote. (Turns to waiter).

Kosh: Steak... medium rare. Go now...

Waiter: As sir desires.

Hmmm....tough one. I guess it might depend on my 'intentions' for the evening. If I just wanted a fun time, probably Londo. If I wanted romance, likely Marcus or maybe Sinclair. For interesting conversation, definitely G'Kar. And if I ever decided to swing the other way, Lyta would most certainly be my choice!

If I remember correctly, G'Kar had a thing for Earther women. You might get more than just good conversation!

Well, then...as your date might say..."Good." Wouldn't want to rule out spontanaity (or however you spell that).

You've clearly made the superior choice, at least your date wouldn't blast you with an energy beam! Also, I have no idea what gender Kosh is?! Do Vorlons even have gender?

Maybe I should have asked Lyta out instead. Knowing my luck, it'd probably end up being a Zack Allan type scenario!

A dozen synthetic roses and a little Grey Goose with Ivanova at the Fresh Air.

or...drop down below for a quick bite at McBari's with Elizabeth Lochley.

But no flarn with Delenn, I don't think I could stay awake

Lianna Kemmer. I just know there is a pent-up, wild freak waiting to break out of that cold-as-ice shell

Shouldn't this thread have been called B5 Valen-Tines?

[Ubik]

Yes, it probably should!

Did you see the numerous silly memes over at Fuck Yeah Babylon 5?

Well, as a married man, I'd go for a double date with Sinclair and Sakai. After a great meal and wonderful conversation, each couple could then complete the romantic portion on their own.

Can we come too?

[KoshN]

Lyta Alexander, of course, for many reasons.

[Marsden]

Ubik, I like your story, but it got me thinking... Do Vorlons eat?

What if Kosh appeared out of his encounter suit but instead of full grown with long white robes he appeared as a toddler with a diaper on and a bow and arrow?
