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! ]

[Kaname has no idea about any Oracle thing, but she does know this woman helped them, and she'd like to thank her properly. Also get to know her a little more.

Luna might see her coming over or not, but she'd definitely notice once Kaname places a slice of pie (flavor to be determined) by her wine glass, fork included. There's a smile on her face and a drink in her other hand.]


Never drink on an empty stomach. Mind if I join you?

[ Luna does indeed see Kaname heading over, and she flashes the woman a grateful smile as a plated slice of pie is slid over next to her glass of wine. She's glad to see her -- she's mostly glad that everything has worked out for the best and they've all escaped relatively unscathed.

At least she's got no twigs in her hair this time around. ]


Very good advice. Of course, please do.

[Join her she does, taking the seat next to her with a nod.] It's a safe piece of advice.

[Kaname reaches over and takes a few nuts from a nearby bowl.]

Are you doing all right? We've had a little time to rest since everything.

[ It's the best piece of advice. Noctis could have used that on their wedding day... ] Indeed it is.

[ Luna scoots over to give Kaname room, humming softly with thought. ]

Yes, though admittedly I am still a little tired. Healing such a large amount of people and in such a short amount of time drains me. But how are you feeling?

From the sound if things, a little better than you at least. [The redhead smiles at the other woman, giving her a one shouldered shrug.] Singing doesn't take anything extra out of us, not in the way your healing seems to.

By now I'm sure you're tired of us thanking you, so instead, I'll try this. [Kaname holds her drink out for an inevitable clink of their glasses.]

To safety and new friends.
