The BLTS Archive - Fun With Numbers by cardassianfire (cardassianfire@yahoo.com --- Summary: My attempt at a Vic Fontaine fic, and he didn't even have an official code in the recent FAQ. If there's any chocolates with cream filled centers that are deserved for my answer to the non- human challenge, give them to Bashir. Disclaimer: I don't have enough money to buy DS9, so it's still Paramount's for now. Archive: ASC, anyone else ask - I just like to track my scribbles --- Vic leaned back in his chair, or what might seem to be a chair to a holodeck visitor. He knew that it really was just a combination of math and magic that created the illusion of a table to prop his holographic feet upon. Why Julian would ever want a self-aware hologram was beyond him. Crazy, but hey, never question why you're here in the first place. After that incident with the casino thugs muscling in on his scene, he didn't want to rock the boat. Just play it cool, be the crew's Mister Lonelyhearts or jukebox or whatever, and his time off the clock was his own. Vic snapped his fingers and called for the arch. Not every Charley could create his own little corner of the universe with his sense of style. He scanned over the personal records of the station`s past and present residents. Vic considered this part of his bag - if they wanted him as a shoulder to cry on or a professor of amour, then he had to have some experience. Only a real Harvey would try to patch up broken hearts without ever having loved and lost, or even been on a date. He considered himself very hip when it came to relationships. After all, when he wasn't playing a lounge lizard, he was part of Quark's holosuite program, one that could enjoy the matrix behind the programs just as well as the Ferengi's paying customers. He chuckled to himself. He was probably the only one who not only had played all the parts of Vulcan Love Slave at some time. Male, female, other - he'd been them all. And he never left any sticky messes for the complaining bar staff to clean up. Not only was he familiar with the holodeck characters, but he'd had his way with nearly everyone's personnel file. If Julian, Morn, Odo or Kira wanted to know how to win that certain someone, well, experience is the best teacher. Tonight though, he needed someone to cheer up his spirits. He called up two of his favorite files, two real ring-a-ding broads, one for each arm. As he put in the codes for entering, in his own unique way, Quark's holoprogram, Vic, Jadzia and Ezri dissolved into a single ray of light. --- The End
