[ 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! ]

Oh, hi. I haven't seen you in awhile. [He remembers the questions Cogsworth had asked over the network.] Then again I haven't seen anyone but my crewmates in awhile.

What are you doing? [And how are you doing it with those "hands?]

[Cogsworth all but jumps at the voice behind him - but calms immediately when he sees who is there.]

Ah! It's you. ... right. Yes. Hello there.

[He looks to the table, then back at Mon-El, then back to the table, then back to Mon-El.] ... I am insuring that the party is a great success with enough food and proper table settings.
spacebro: (Fond - Curious)

Well, they are looking very proper. [He nods agreeably.] It's impressive. I've never seen anyone do it like you before.

... well! Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate your confidence in me.

[Slight puffing here....]
spacebro: (Smile - Gentle)

[personal profile] spacebro 2017-11-28 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's never seen a clock puff before. That might be why it takes him a beat to offer this.] Do you want some help?
timelysteward: (Teeheeheehee)

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-11-28 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes yes he was. He was absolutely puffed with pride he was.

And Then He Looks Delighted.]

Oh Really? Really would you? I would appreciate it so much!
spacebro: (Smile - Confident)

[personal profile] spacebro 2017-12-01 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Why not? I take direction well. [He doesn't have a lot of experience in party planning what with having had servants most of his life.]

Well you are the most delightful young man I must say ... right - just start taking the platters from the bots and arrange them on the table, and please, feel free to help yourself after you put it down. Try for ...artistic, if you can?
spacebro: (Worried - Reserved)

[personal profile] spacebro 2017-12-03 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Artistic setting down of platters? [He nods slowly.] Sure. I can do that. [What? Well, he'll try. Maybe some angles?] How's this?

[personal profile] timelysteward 2017-12-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Let's see, oh yes, nearly there just ... tilt that one towards the center? Oh yes, very nice, very nice indeed. You buttle like an expert, Monsieur.
spacebro: (Amused - Playful)

[personal profile] spacebro 2017-12-09 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I had no idea I was even buttling. I'm glad it works though. I know this holiday is important to a lot of people.
