the old ways don't work anymore

As Nerys isn't well-schooled in much regarding Earth (she's not had a need for it before), a lot of her understanding is done via comparison with Bajoran concepts. While a lot of these are understandable through context, some fellow players may need further detail, and thus this ongoing list of references!

Please note that I will always try to find something either canon (on screen, e.g. via the Memory Alpha wiki) or book-canon (from licensed works, via the Memory Beta wiki) before creating something new, because I have a brain like a sieve and will otherwise forget what I've made up.

For a Very Small Heart

Kira Nerys stared at the communique on her screen as if she could will the text to be replaced with something else, her raktajino going cold on the table beside her, her attention unmoved by the squeals of delight over at the dabo table. A shipping manifest, springball match results, even one of Vedek Winn’s latest screeds—at least those didn’t bring up a numb feeling in her gut quite like this request, which was an offer she couldn’t refuse.

It really was a great honor. Or something.
