And Let Us Gather 'Round [ Video + Action ]
Who: Kirk and The Fine People of the Fleet
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Iskaulit, Specifically at the Melting Pot - Note: After the Broadcast
When: After they start heading away from the system
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! ]

Alright. Fair enough.
[It wasn't the greatest, since it was made with what they had available in the food stores, and there hadn't been much to buy on this particular planet in order to replace things or build up on fresh ingredients, but it wasn't terrible, either. Keith was pretty sure it could be a lot worse.]
Not bad. What did you think when you had it?
no subject
[Reaching over, she takes another snack piece and pops it in her mouth.]
So tell me about Friendsgiving.
no subject
Friendsgiving...
[He considered that.]
Well, I mean... I haven't really celebrated a lot of holidays, but... I think this is a take on something called Thanksgiving. It's a holiday that's really reserved for a particular group of people back on Earth. However, Thanksgiving is a holiday that those people usually spend with family. If you don't have a family, then sometimes people celebrate with friends... and that's what makes it Friendsgiving.
I'm guessing Kirk is from America on Earth, which means he'd celebrate Thanksgiving. But, since we're here... and there aren't a lot of actual families, we're having Friendsgiving instead.
no subject
It's nice just to sit and spend time this this. [She smiles softly.] And I think the idea of family is subjective anyway. For example, Freyja's part of my family, even if we aren't related.
no subject
Yeah. I guess it is. That's what makes this Friendsgiving thing work, I guess... the whole, friends are family.
It's a nice thought.
[Having a found family like this... Keith still wanted to try and find his actual family, but... his team was important, too, and they were kind of like a family, weren't they? He looked over, watching the mingle with everyone with a slightly wistful on his face.]
no subject
Sometimes they're even more important. You never know.
[She pops it into her mouth.]
