WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide voice
ACTION Somewhere on the Golden
WHEN July 5th

Okay, guys. Hear me out. This is going to sound like a weird suggestion, but... has anyone thought we've been almost too gloomy lately? Our mourning is all well and good. A lot of shit happened. But if you ask me, we're missing a pretty key component to the whole cycle. Where's the party? The wake. The remembrance that we're alive and we have our own lives to continue now enriched by the lives we touched while they were here.

You know. That kind of sappy stuff.

[ There's a pause, a quiet "um". ]

If anyone else agrees, I was thinking of setting something up in say—a week or so? Would anyone else be up for that?

[ No this clearly has nothing to do with the fact that her birthday is on the 11th. Mere coincidence! ]

Tek. Got it. I'm Misha. If you have any advice on throwing a party, any kind really, that would be appreciated, too.

Food. That is easily the most important element.

...Though, I believe alcohol probably ranks second.

Those have been the concerns brought up already. Those, and music. We'll probably get those sorted out considering how important they are...

voice;

[heresyandlace]

Music, fine. It's a popular choice.

And I suppose the setting is also important. I personally prefer somewhere with plenty of room for people to mingle, but also with areas of less activity and noise--very comfortable--where closer conversation can happen.

So far, our options are cargo bays. Lots and lots of cargo bays, unless we get lucky enough to stop at more waystations soon but that would be a little too quick, anyway. Suppose anyone willing to lend their ship out would fit those requirements.

[there's a silent pause while he shrugs]

It's as good a place as any, I suppose.

...Really, it's the atmosphere and intent that counts. It's easy to generate good energy when you try.

voice;

[interspace]

That's probably true. Looking at people now, you wouldn't believe it, though.

voice;

[heresyandlace]

I said when you try.

That's something that doesn't come easily around here, sometimes.

[ She laughs outright. ]

Tell me about it. All the more reason to try.
