[ 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! ]

[If he could give a thumbs up he would. He stayed safe. ]

I am alright. My ship stayed in orbit. I was more worried about all of you stuck on the ground.

It was...a difficult situation, yes.

[Sayid dips his head in a small nod, acknowledging that.]

But as far as I know, well all survived. At least there is that.

That is something to be thankful for, especially considering the last system.

[Where so many people died. Lumière prides himself on being a source of light (heh) and happiness for all- but even he has been worn a touch thin with all of this. ]

Perhaps next, we will be able to relax again.

The Atroma must know there is only so much danger they can expose us to without their participants breaking.

[...Sayid is...not generally known for being a source of levity. He's much more known for his practicality, which could be why he's continuing this particular line of discussion, and bringing it down this path.]

Which they have not previously seemed inclined to. I think we'll have a reprieve.

[There's some optimism, at least.]
servantnotserving: (Creepin')

I would really, really hope so, mon ami.

[Lumière will encourage any and all optimism he finds. ]

Of course! It would get very boring for our audience, if everyone was exhausted and miserable all the time, no? Variety is the spice of life, they say, they would want us to see happy at times, too.
