_{[ Kirk appears on the screen, waving to everyone and smiling. ]}

Hello everyone. I know this is rather sudden, but this Saturday I've rented out a space in the Hotel to hold a Holiday Party for the Fleet. It seems that a lot of worlds have celebrations around this time of year, and I thought it would be nice for us all to get together and share them, and just be able to enjoy each other's company in a space that feels less like a sardine can. Even if you don't celebrate anything, please come and grace us with your company.

The party will start at 7, but by all means come as you can. There will be a buffet and a bar - please get yourself a hotel room and not use the shuttles to go home if you do drink, by the way.

So come out and enjoy yourselves. I hope to see you there.

Saturday - The Party
<sub>[ The party is held in a large and spacious club-like space, but it is well lit and there is a mix of small tables and an open area for dancing set up. Music drifts over some speakers, with a pre-selected list already programmed in, and not so loud that one couldn't talk to your neighbor, but loud enough to sway to the beat if you desired. The space is decorated in tones of white and gold, a touch of festivity without really nodding towards any one particular celebration.

A bar is staffed by two of the hotel bar tenders and alcohol is plentifully stocked along with non-alcoholic choices. The buffet ran along one wall, piled with meats, vegetables, fruits, and sweets - everything to suit anyone who might come.

It's time to party everyone! ]</sub>

Exactly. I'd be so distracted I'd forget whatever you did.

[arfvader]

I think I'm warming up to that plan!

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll get Winn and Cisco to start working on it.

[arfvader]

I have great confidence that the think-tank will prevail!

[takingkarabusiness]

If they can focus on one thing at a time. They like to work more buffet style.

[arfvader]

I'll make sure to express what a priority it is.

[takingkarabusiness]

Best of luck, then. And you should still totally infiltrate their brotherhood.

[arfvader]

I'm pretty sure I've got an in. Just been busy trying to learn to be a passable cook!

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I know you're doing fine with that.

[arfvader]

What, my cooking? What have you heard?

[HE LOOKS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I've heard that you're working really hard on it, so it has to be going well.

[arfvader]

It has been going swimmingly, if I do say so myself.


[That is a complete overestimation of his cooking skills.]

[takingkarabusiness]

What sort of things have you been making?

[arfvader]

I've made bread a couple of times! Mostly sticking to soups and stews for the moment, really.

[takingkarabusiness]

Bread isn't easy! That's great.

[arfvader]

Our captain keeps asking for doughnuts, but baby-steps, you know?

[takingkarabusiness]

If you figure out crullers, please call me.

[arfvader]

You'll be one of the first!



... that is, of course, followed by the big disclaimer that I will probably never figure out crullers.

[takingkarabusiness]

I miss them so much.

[arfvader]

Perhaps our next stop will be a planet made up of only bakeries!

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, don't tease me like that!

[arfvader]

[Can't helping laughing a little.]

Is there seriously nowhere that sells donuts in this place though?

[takingkarabusiness]

I still have a lot to search for, but I'll keep you updated.

[arfvader]

I'd offer to accompany you, but I have a feeling it'd only slow you down.

[takingkarabusiness]

I could find it on my own and then decide to go with you and then act like I'm just discovering it for the first time?
