Who: Misty and all you revelers
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: The FS Starlight
When: All night long!!! It's Mardi Gras!!!

[Aww everyone look at this cute hippie girl with her sweet southern drawl not having a mental breakdown like the last time most of you would have seen her. She's also got a more festive get up on: a shiny gold bodice fits over her flowing black dress, bright purple and green scarves drape around her shoulders, and a jaunty top hat sits on her head. Grinning from ear to ear, she addresses the fleet:]

Hey y'all this is Misty! I don't know how much or what folks here know about Earth holidays and all that, but today's a big one where I come from: Mardi Gras. It's like... this big feast day right before a period of fastin' in preparation for Easter. It won't be the same without the parades and the costumes and the food - ain't got no gumbo in space apparently - but I found this sweet club called that plays some pretty good jazz and I sure would appreciate some company if y'all are interested in a little fun!

[After giving the location of the club and what time she'll meet you there, she picks up a glass full of what looks like beer and tilts it in the direction of her audience.]

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

[Let the good times roll, and feel free to use this as a mingle post if you like!]

That time already, huh.

[Seems a little early in the year to Micah, but he's in space, what does he know. Still, it's nice to see people holding on to traditions all the way out here.]

Misty, I don't suppose you know of anywhere there's a church holding Ash Wednesday mass tomorrow?

video; lmao absolutely not a problem

[mistyday]

I haven't heard of any. Don't think they got that way out here. But Stefan's got a ... what did he call it... interfaith! He's got an interfaith space on the Iskaulit. It's real nice. I mean, I know it ain't the same without a priest and all, but we could probably still do something with it.

[enflammen]

The Iskaulit is one of the ships in the Fleet?

[He's guessing, since he hasn't heard it mentioned yet.]

Priests are good facilitators, but I think it's your intentions that matter the most.

[mistyday]

Yeah it's the big weird lookin' one that floats along behind all the others.

[She smiles.]

You're right. God knows your heart, and that's the important thing.

[enflammen]

That's kinda how I've always thought of it. A lot of people get too caught up in the details, miss the big picture.

[mistyday]

That's exactly right. And where two are gathered in His name, there He is. So even if nobody else is interested, I can be with you.

[enflammen]

Well, I sure appreciate that, Misty. And I'd like to take you up on that.
