I need someone to invent a Raffi based reason for this, plus what the hell would Seven have to say?
Seven would probably say she looks…appealing
Seven and Raffi materialise on La Sirena’s transporter pad, Seven dressed normal, Raffi in the banana suit.
Rios is watching from the transporter controls with a WTF look.
Seven: “Don’t ask…”
Seven walks briskly away, not amused.
Raffi: “She’ll calm down and uh…. **looks down at suit** You just kinda had to be there Cris…”.
Raffle wobbles off awkwardly after Seven with calls of “Babe? Babe????”…
Guys, I think we just discovered our first Picard crack fic theme: why is *insert beloved character* in the banana suit?
If this isn’t the theme of season two I’ll be wanting a damn refund!,
I have a sudden urge to write a banana suit cameo into the Halloween on La Sirena fic:
Cris: Raffi?! Why is Enoch in a fucking banana suit?
Raffi(while everybody around her is wheezing and snorting with laughter):That wasn’t my idea either. The holos were in charge of the haunted house.
Cris:Emmet?!
Emmet comes around the corner. He, too, is in a banana suit. However, the lower part of his suit that is the peel (?) is dark brown. The upper part of the banana is still yellow but has darker streeks and patterns in it - which look almost like tattoos.
Emmet:What?
Raffi: *leans against Seven and bursts out laughing*
Cris:…
From the other side of the room Mister Hospitality appears and - we’re starting to sense a theme here - his banana suit is pristine. His peels do not just drop down, no sir.. They actually arch up a little before they drop in an elegant curve.
Mister Hospitality: We had precise specification. Scary, but not too scary *brushes some fake spiderwebs from one of his banana-peel-petals*
On Monday Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd participated in a Twitter Spaces chat to discuss season two of Picard, but they also ventured into a bit on season three. The season two finale saw a resulting and coming together of Raffi and Seven. And when asked where this relationship is headed in season three, the pair made it clear they will be as close as ever:
Michelle Hurd: Well, I think that no matter what, there’s always going to be like the deepest respect between these women… There’s a connection. There’s a shorthand. There’s acceptance and trust. I believe that that’s where Rafi will always place Seven. She believes in this person. She trusts this person, implicitly. She’s so connected and respectful of this person. And so those two women will always walk in the path camaraderie and companionship and support.
Jeri Ryan: Yeah, absolutely… I think the way Michelle put it is exactly right. I think at the very basic level, they’ll always kind of be home for each other. Regardless of what paths life takes them on, they will always sort of just be home. A safe space and a comfortable, trusted space. There’s so much respect there. There’s so much love there. And so much trust.
