[ 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! ]
timelysteward: (Well...)

Yes well ... that is true. You are absolutely honest.

[Which is pleasant.]

Oh yes she can! ... and I miss it. [Sigh.]
servantnotserving: (Only human again)

[personal profile] servantnotserving 2017-12-04 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's one of my better qualities.

Chin up, mon ami. We'll see her again one day.
timelysteward: (Oh well isn't that lovely!)

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-12-05 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That is quite true ... not that you have a lot to begin with...

[Another sigh.] I hope so. She at least will appreciate the organization and cleanliness of my efforts.
servantnotserving: (Well that was a wasted effort)

[personal profile] servantnotserving 2017-12-05 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, that was rude.

[So rude, wow. ]

Sure, Cogsworth. And she will not at all be concerned that you're not taking time for yourself at all. No.

Consider it the jab in return for saying that I do not have enough friends.

[Is Cogsworth's dry comment, before he sighs.]

You See? Push push pusssssh. All the time!
servantnotserving: (Yeah well no one's perfect)

[personal profile] servantnotserving 2017-12-06 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Because you don't.

[Don't punch Cogsworth, don't punch Cogsworth. This is a nice party. Don't punch Cogsworth. ]

It's NEEDED, you wouldn't do anything to be social otherwise.
timelysteward: (Oh Merde.)

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-12-06 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I do so! I have you, and Jim, and Cyril, and Arthur, and Monsieur Bucky Barnes, and Mon-el, and dear sweet Khagadar ...

[He would keep counting but he ... doesn't have any fingers.

Insert huff.]

I would so! I am here, am I not?
servantnotserving: (Well that was a wasted effort)

[personal profile] servantnotserving 2017-12-06 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...that's actually more than I realised.

[He's not gonna apologise for being WRONG or anything, of course not.]

You are not socialising. You are working.
timelysteward: (Oh Merde.)

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-12-07 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well! See! There!

[And he's waving his hands.]

...I can socialize and work. I am a multi-tasker.
servantnotserving: (Not even listening)

[personal profile] servantnotserving 2017-12-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that what you call it?
