[ Action - Day of the Contest! ]

[ Their hosts were a generous folk, and given the chance to try new foods crafted from their own local ingredients, well, their curiosity was more that piqued. Tables had been set up, with plenty of cushions to go around, and the small restaurant had given over its kitchen and cooking materials to Kirk and Misty. Everyone was welcome to come and go as they pleased (the food was free and the drinks were set at a discounted price for the event from the restaurant itself), but before leaving were requested to make their selection on who had served the better meal by placing slips of colored paper paper into a box - Red for Kirk and Blue for Misty. At one point there was even a small group of musicians adding atmosphere and enough room to dance near the back of the out door space.

The winner would be announced at the end of the day, with the paper slips counted by one of their new alien friends - to keep things proper and fair, of course. ]

_{[ ooc: As it says in the header, this is a mingle! So feel free to put up your own starters, etc. There will be a special comments section for casting your vote for whom you want to win this contest - just simply put Misty or Kirk in the header (and maybe a cheeky comment if your character is one to write those). Have fun! ]}

Probably just being here does it too. When you're stuck on tiny ships out in space with not much to do... well, parties are good for that.

[passingthrough]

Parties and cooking competitions I guess. How did this even happen?

[mistyday]

Well after Remy left we were both sort of reminiscin' about him, you know? And since he's from Louisiana like me and liked cookin' so much.... it just seemed fitting.

[passingthrough]

Remy would have appreciated it I think. I miss him too.

[mistyday]

He was the closest thing I had to home. I don't ever want to go back but... there's still a lot of things I miss about it.

[passingthrough]

I'm from Chicago, but I felt that from him too. Even if he wasn't actually an X-Man where he's from.

[mistyday]

He was good at that, making people feel welcome.

[passingthrough]

He was. Is wherever he is. I know he's got a life going somewhere, but I wouldn't mind him making a reappearance here. Assuming people even go back home when they disappear.

[mistyday]

Where else would they go?

[passingthrough]

Another place this maybe. ...Storage.

[mistyday]

What? Like in big tubes of green liquid or something?

[passingthrough]

That is a very specific idea you came up with just now. [Looking curious.]

[mistyday]

Well I mean you know we're on a spaceship tv show and there's all those old sci-fi movies had like... What do you call it? When people get frozen or put in liquid or whatever and wake up a thousand years later!

[passingthrough]

Cryogenics. But yes. Something like that. In the prison they kept our bodies in containment tanks. We weren't frozen, but it was something similar.

[mistyday]

How'd you figure out that's what was happening?

[passingthrough]

There were some clues before, but the big one was the day I woke up in my tank.

[mistyday]

Shit. I'm sorry.

[passingthrough]

It's okay. It was all a step up from home and the Fleet is a step up from that. Look at me on my universe ladder. [She gives her a smile, not wanting to bring things down as she often does when she talks about her past.]

[mistyday]

[She smiles back.]

Me too.

[passingthrough]

[She lifts a hand up. Are you ready for a high five, Misty? Are you.] Go us.

[mistyday]

[Sure, she'll cheerfully high five back!]

Go us!

[passingthrough]

I should let you get back to your competition. Good luck. I totally voted for you.
