Who: Beverly Crusher and invited guests
Broadcast: No
Action: Planetside
When: October 13th, mid-morning
[Another year for the Drift Fleet, another birthday for Beverly. She’s given up on trying to determine exactly how old she is - fifty seems a good enough compromise - but that does not mean she’s not going to celebrate. She’s had people she loves unexpectedly returned to her and that alone is worth celebrating.
So, after a bit of flying around the forested planet, she finds the perfect location for a little birthday brunch picnic, right on the edge of a grassy mesa, with one of the enormous fungus-trees providing some cool shade. A large blanket is set out with the finest smorgasbord the Blue Fish can offer: smoked t-rex meat, fresh fruit from the garden, pastries, and of course, syntheholic mimosas. People are of course free bring their own food as well. There are also a couple of decks of cards and poker chips, should anyone fancy a game. All in all, a it’s a very relaxed, casual atmosphere, simply a nice meal with close friends.]
ooc: if you have any questions regarding invitations, feel free to send me a message

[By which he means, he most certainly did (and/or will) travel down to the shipwreck with them.]
no subject
You're very close to Misty, aren't you?
no subject
[He could play dumb, and act like he doesn't know what Beverly's getting at. He would also be drawing out the inevitable, and honestly? He's more interested in nipping that in the bud.]
But I don't think we'd ever be more that. She deserves someone who actually likes all that hiking and exploring and dancing with nature stuff.
no subject
Fair enough. And forgive me for being nosy, but I promise, there's no judgment one way or the other. Friendship is just as important as a romantic relationship and I would never downplay that.

[She smiles wryly.]
In fact, I'm in the minority in Starfleet, that I got married.
no subject
I'd like to, some day, but I figure that'll happen whenever I go home.
no subject
Is there someone at home?
no subject
[His expression grows more wistful as he holds his hand up, for her to better look at the ring (after all, he's always wearing it).]
There was someone a while ago, but I broke it off 'cause of the whole vampire-thing.
no subject
It's beautiful.
[Smiling gently, she fixes her gaze back on his face.]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up anything painful for you.
no subject
[Between Alex leaving and the general chaos that had been their lives for the past few months, Stefan's been way too busy (and a little overwhelmed).]
And honestly, it was for the best. I don't want to drag anyone else into this whole thing.
no subject
Sometimes these things don't work out, and that's okay. I'm just glad you haven't completely shut yourself off.
no subject
Even if I do? I'd be selling myself short if I didn't get out there.
no subject
You sound like someone I once knew.

I hope you'll get to see them again. They sound pretty cool.

[All this time, he'd assumed that the "were" was because, well, everyone's separated from home. He presses his lips together, deciding against the full story.]
In that case, [he says, leaning in to kiss her cheek,] I hope your new life is just as exciting.
no subject
As it is she just laughs.]
I don't think I ever have to worry about a lack of excitement.
no subject
[As opposed to, you know, the drama and mayhem that regularly plagues his homeworld. He catches sight of someone - Allen, maybe? Maglor? - and gives Beverly another kiss on the opposite cheek.]
Don't let me steal you away too long, but uh, again, happy birthday.
