[ Kirk appears on the screen, and probably like many people he looks tired and a bit beaten up. Scratches not yet healed on his face, one even covered with a bandage on his cheek, that sort of drawn look around his eyes after all the sleepless nights and the battles and general horridness. A little to pale, perhaps.

Even so, he gives as warm a smile as he can as he begins to speak. ]


For those of you who might not know, I come from a world called Earth - or at least, one of the versions represented here. On my world, in the country I hail from, we celebrate something known as Thanksgiving roughly around this time of year if I've done my calculations correct. Some people call it Friendsgiving, but it's all the same really.

Essentially, it's a time to a give thanks for the good things in your life, your friends, and your family. In the spirit of that, I've arranged for a gathering at the Melting Pot - a thank you to Jarvis for that. Everyone who wishes to come is welcome.

I just thought we all could use a day, a place, to be together and to just enjoy each other. So I hope to see you there.

Action: The Melting Pot
[ The restaurant is set up to allow as much mingling as possible when people arrive - places to sit, of course, but there's gentle music playing for those who might want to dance and just to give some atmosphere (but not loud enough to stop conversation at all). Food and drink is laid out - things to nibble on rather than the usual feasts associated with a Thanksgiving. Not particularly ideal, but it's what could be managed. Unless, of course, anyone decided to bring something else to add to the spread.

Not a fancy party, to be sure, but it's warm and inviting, which is what Kirk had hoped for. A place for them all to come together and enjoy each other and just be glad they were all there and if not quite completely whole, then, well, able to be there. ]


[ooc: Open mingle! Feel free to create your own starters and do as you like - tis a warm Friendsgiving party for the Fleet! ]

Yeah! I always enjoy a good party.

[He raises an eyebrow, though, at the fact that Sokka's arm is in a sling. He doesn't like seeing Space Twin hurt.]

The story behind that better be good.

[Next time, he's going to invent a cool story. Lesson learned.]

Wow, have you been talking to Looma? [He shrugs...one shoulder, the other is not really in a good enough shape for that. ] I was surrounded, I got stabbed from behind with a spear. It's way less cool than it should be and now I'm thinking I should have invented a way better injury story.

I mean, personally, I used to go with the getting into a fist fight with a shark story back when I was growing up. But I guess I need to invent a new good injury story myself.

[Lance gives him a little smile, patting his good shoulder.]

Glad it isn't too bad, though. I really hope we have less of this whole fighting and getting ourselves stupidly injured thing now.

Pretty sure sharks wouldn't fit in this story. Maybe a Shirshu? I think that's badass enough.

Man, tell me about it. Even if we get a couple weeks of relaxation, that'd be nice.

A...Shirshu?

[Explanation pls.]

It's almost Christmas, so we'd better get a break.

Oh wow. They're these big animals with funky star-shaped noses. They've got a really good sense of smell, like one was used to track us for miles and miles. Also they have a paralysing tongue. Which you know, less fun.

[DID THAT HELP, FRIEND?? ]

Oh.

...Oh wow is right. Being paralyzed definitely does not sound fun at all.

It was on my top ten list of least fun things to do, for sure.
