[Sam's in the cockpit of the Starstruck when he turns the communicator on, seated in the captain's chair. He regards the camera in silence for a moment, and anyone who knows him might be able to tell that there are bags under his eyes, and that his normal goatee isn't as neatly shaven as usual, with rough stubble around the edges.]

I know we've had a lot of these lately - hell, I think someone else even pointed out that we had a lot of these lately - but since they were here for so long, I couldn't just not say something. Figure there are still people out there who deserve to know. [His own teammates, let alone any friends they'd made in their time here.]

Steve and Peggy are gone. [Well, Peggy's been gone; Steve's more recently departed. Sam feels like he ought to say more, but everything feels too private to dump on the network, in front of everyone. He opens his mouth to try and dredge something up, anything, but-

Nah. End transmission.]

Broadcast

[The pretty sword appears on the screen with a smile on his ever polished face. Politely, he bows his head before speaking.]

Greetings. I would like to host a tea ceremony for those interested in attending. If you do then I will be holding these ceremonies in my dojo on the Iskaulit. There is no requirement for dress code aside from the removal of your shoes when you enter.

[Lowering himself down, he bows where he is kneeling, hands brushing the floor.]

I look forward to seeing those of you who are interested.


The Dojo

[For those who are interested in coming, the dojo looks the same on arrival. The same traditional Japanese setup. In the center of the room Kogarasumaru can be found kneeling, bowing politely to the ones who enter before rising to his feet.]

Please come in. I will get you a cushion to sit on.

[He is not going to expect anyone to kneel like he will. It can be terribly uncomfortable for most.]

Have you ever attended a Japanese tea ceremony before?
