Video
[ 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! ]

It's hard to recover physically when you don't have your mind in the game, at least that's what the doctors always told me. But it's also good to just blow off steam, right? Cause you don't want anyone to implode.

Oh, I'm okay. I was out of the worst of the action because I got put on the injured list by being a fucking moron. But I got a machete out of it, so that was pretty cool. It's a good machete.

Yeah, it could have gone a lot worse. I owe Sawyer one, too.

[Still annoyed with herself, really.]

I hope not, but... I've had enough shit try to kill me that I feel a lot better having it. [Shit including her best friend, at one point. That was great.]

That's right! Hell yeah. [She grabs his hand. What she lacks in dancing skill, she makes up for with enthusiasm.]

No worries, I got composite bones, remember? [Really, you should be more worried about her stepping on your toes, dude. They're both limping, too. What a pair.]
