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! ]

NO PROBLEM!
Well, you're always bad at everything when you first try it! That means there's lots of room for improvement and learning.

There is nothing if not time to learn between systems. [He doesn't sound too thrilled about that part of Drift Fleet life.] Painting, though... that takes artistic talent. There's only so much that practice can do, I imagine.
Re: bless
I mean... I guess? I think it's more... there's this philosophy, I guess. The question is, how do you want to suffer? Because no matter what, the practice part isn't fun at all, right? But if you want what you're gonna get out the other side enough, it's worth all the pain of practice and failing.
no subject
I have never heard the process of learning something new described as suffering. That seems undesirable when the something being learned is meant to be a hobby... but, as a Russian, I do find the prospect of suffering needlessly appealing.
fffffffffffff oh my god russians
I mean... I think you end up suffering a little bit even when it is a hobby. Unless your hobby is just... um. Watching porn and eating ice cream.
that's the reaction I always hope for!
Suffering aside... maybe this is a strange question, but would you ever consider showing someone how to knit or paint?
