[Video]

Early this morning, a video might interrupt whatever you're doing. On one side of the screen, there's a beautiful lady with light brown hair. On the other, the pinkest pony ever to have walked the multi-verse.

Hey hey HEY, everybody! It's the start of a new month, and we've had a GREAT time on this planet so far, especially with all this yummy real food! Sooo Kitty and I have been planning a pizza party!

Um, right. So, you should come. I guess. [She doesn't know how to do group invites with ponies. What is life?]

We'll be in this HUGE clearing at THESE coordinates, so bring some smiles, your stomach, and maybe a side dish or snacks if you want too! We'll see you there! And Wrath: we've got chimmy cherry chongas~!

We had to use a few substitutes, but it's still pizza, so you know today's priority. Also a good time to check it out if you've never heard of it.

[And with that, the feed ends and coordinates to the clearing show up on the communicators.]


[Action]

[Local vendors have been generous enough to loan the use of their ovens and some long wooden tables for the clearing. Sure enough, there's dozens of pies, plain or topped with meat or vegetables or both. There's also jugs and jugs of fruit juices and lemonade and punch, and an equally bountiful dessert table including apple tarts, cakes, donuts, and yes, chimmy cherry chongas. And the best part is there's not a single gel-based ingredient in sight. Feel free to add something to the bounty or just come in, grab a slice, and enjoy!]

[Kitty spent the majority of Winn's Atroma-induced coma as a withdrawn workaholic. It's a little strange to be out and about throwing a party for, well, literally everyone at this point. But pizza is important and she liked the idea of doing it on the planet and she wasn't sure how much longer they'd be around so, here she is.

And as often as she can be found at Winn's side she manages to see who else came while also putting away a lot of pizza.]

[pneumo]

[ His poor hot!mom, working so hard these last few weeks >: it's good to see her kind of relaxing? Or at least eating and being about like a normal person even if it's not until past dark that Sascha actually starts to poke around. He can't eat or drink any of the food and unfortunately the smell of pizza is not an appetizing one, but! It's a party and he can't help but want to look around a little, so of course his ace lights up when he sees Kitty. Heck he'll call out to her and wave pretty mch right away. ]

Hi Kitty~!

[ And hot!mom may notice that her potato!son is not as twiggish and lanky as he normally is after a month of eating properly on the planet. He's almost of normal build now. Boy needs to eat more. ]

[passingthrough]

[She doesn't have pizza in hand at the moment so when Sascha comes up to her she just hugs him. Surprise affection!] Hi, Sascha. You look different.

[pneumo]

[ It is very much a surprise, and very much appreciated! His whole face lights right up as he wraps his arms around her tight, grinning we to eat. ]

Do I?? Hehe~

[passingthrough]

[She lets the hug linger since it's been awhile since she saw him and he might have been worried.] A little bit. Do you feel good?

[pneumo]

[ Just a bit♥ but he'll let go when she does, bright and peppy. ]

Uh-huh! I feel great~ like super-awake and stuff lately.

[passingthrough]

[Letting go happeeeeeeeens now!]

What changed?

Re: OTA

[tallasaking]

[Well, she would find Tyrion there, bearing a plate of something that he had covered. It was a party, after all, and he always enjoyed those. Besides, with Dany going into a deep sleep now he was the one looking for a distraction.

He spotted Kitty, and his smile brightened as he moved towards her.]

All right, where is this famous pizza?

[passingthrough]

[She smiles back brightly. It's something her face wasn't doing for awhile there.] Hey you. We'll need to find you some. Hint, it's the big, flat round things. [She tosses a little wink his way and reaches for his hand to lead him which is probably super unnecessary and yet comes very naturally in the moment. Clearly, this planet has been a bad influence.

She hasn't heard about Dany yet, so she's happy to share her own news.] Did you see? Winn's awake. No new memories.

[tallasaking]

[He beams up at her, and takes her hand without a second thought. Honestly, these two.[ Big ... round flat things that are food and not say, a wheel. Got it.

[His mis-matched eyes widened, then brightened.] Is he now? Well then he should be the first to get one of these.

[passingthrough]

Hey, if you find a wheel and it looks good to you, I'm not going to judge. [There's a playful smile on her lips.]

Don't worry, there's more than enough for everyone. I wasn't doing all this to have Winn go pizza-less. Well, I wasn't having Pinkie do all this for that.

[tallasaking]

I have eaten many things out of desperation before, Kitty. I am hoping to avoid actual equipment. [He states with a dead-pan expression.]

Oh, not one of those ... although yes the man who has been sleeping gets first crack at your pizzas. I mean, I brought more of those tarts we had, the other day. I thought they might be a nice accompaniment. Since he didn't join us before, I believe he should have the first tart now.

[passingthrough]

[She just smirks at that.] Glad to know all our carts are safe from you.

[She looks at the covered plate he's covering with more interest.] I thought I was his first tart. [Bad joke is bad.] But that's really nice of you, Tyrion. Just try not to remind him of our date. [It wasn't a date, but that is how Winn thought of it after all.]

[scanninggaydis]

[The thing about protein gel is that it's a step up from making everything from algae but a step down from three subsequent years of solid food, especially when most of that time was spent in the company of two pretty good cooks. Which makes any invitation of free solid food appealing.

Also, Felix is deciding to come out of his shell a little more, having begrudgingly accepted his existence in the fleet, and Kitty was pretty decent the first time they talked. Her face on the invitation broadcast made stopping by that much more appealing. (The other person on the broadcast being a pink pony is more than a little weird but...he'll roll with it.)

After grabbing a slice of pizza and a drink, he heads over to the first time he sees her free, lifting his cup a little bit as a greeting.]

Hi. Nice party.

[passingthrough]

[She knows this feeling. Food back home was usually out of date and possibly irradiated. But then everything in the prison was a virtual reality of abundance and excess that felt completely real. So, protein gels managed to be a step down when she arrived.]

Hi again. Felix, right? Thanks. Glad you could make it. [Because why not? She really didn't know who all to expect, but it is pizza so a crowd wouldn't surprise her too much.]

Been settling in?

[scanninggaydis]

[Pizza does attract all people.

He looks a little more settled than he did in his broadcast, though maybe not any cheerier. They're still all kidnapped with alien tech in their bodies. Things still kind of suck.]

More or less. My crew seems decent, and hey, at least we've all got a little shore leave now. [He gestures around them.] Even if it's only temporary.

[passingthrough]

Shore leave. I never thought of it that way, but I guess it is. I've been making the most of it. [She waves a hand at the pizza table that Pinkie did most of the work on.] Obviously.

I think I was getting stir crazy from the moon stop and time in space.

[scanninggaydis]

Yeah, I've got to admit that I'd never been on a ship that long before without having something a lot more concrete and constructive to do. Our ship has two pilots, and it's not like it's a crucial job, even if we only had one.

[He looks contemplative for a few seconds, and then shrugs.]

I guess I'll have to figure out a role I can actually fill.

[passingthrough]

I am also a second pilot. It does make me feel not all that necessary sometimes. But I might be a bartender once we get going again so there's that to give my life meaning. [She smirks a little, clearly not thinking that is going to provide direction or fulfillment. It will pass some some time.]

[pain_train]

Kitty, you found pizza!!!! [AT LONG LAST.]

[passingthrough]

Yep, turned over a rock and there it was. [Just teasing a little since it wasn't exactly "found" in tact but they did manage to pull together the ingredients more or less].

It's good to see you out and about.

[pain_train]

Pizza comes from under rocks here? Holy shit! [No like really. She believes you.]

It's really great to be outside in the fresh air and sunlight. And going for walks!

[passingthrough]

Wrath. [Honey.] I was kidding about the rocks. We just found the ingredients and made pizza. We just had to get creative in some places.

But I'm glad in general and also specifically glad you didn't miss this planet.

[pain_train]

Oh, that's even cooler, though. [Making stuff is super impressive.]

I didn't miss the planet or the pizza! Beverly is the best doctor ever. And this is such a great planet. And Kurt's been taking really good care of me!

[passingthrough]

I've got extra on the Windrose so we can have more pizza too. [More of lots of things.]

You sound happy. [Then again she always kind of sounds happy. Except when she wants to put people in ziplock bags.]
