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! ]

[ He smiled at him, sipping his drink and stroking his finger around the rim absently. ]
I'm just glad that everyone could be here, honestly. The last time I had a party like this after a big battle it was for my birthday, actually. Two years ago now, hard to believe.
Kind of almost forgot how fun it was.
no subject
[Keith's tone was somber for that. He looked out at the crowd.]
That's better than last time.
[Though, this branch of conversation was really going in the opposite direction than what Kirk had probably intended with this party.]
no subject
What do you mean?
[ He can’t remember throwing another party. Did he? He was sure he’d remember and Keith hadn’t been here even a year as far as he knew. ]
no subject
[Keith wasn't talking about a party, Kirk...]
no subject
Ah. I was asleep during that - an Atroma coma.
[ He rubbed the back of his neck, a touch of guilt welling up, though it was hardly his fault. ]
Yeah, it's always good when everyone can come home. I think that's why this party was important to have too - so we could see everyone together.
no subject
[Keith was still a little weirded out that he basically had this really crazy premonition of death and destruction, and then it came true. That had never happened before, and it took some getting used to. Though, in all honesty, he was also somewhat glad that he hadn't been the only one who had it.
He nodded at Kirk's comment about the party and being together.]
Yeah. Sounds like a good reason. It seems to be working, at least.
no subject
I can only hope.
[ He watched Keith again for a moment, as if sizing something up. ]
So, anyone here you want to see in particular?
[ It's a terrible segue and he knows it, but he's not at his best at the moment. No one is, so he'll beg forgiveness later. But he wants to be a little nosy too. He'll ask forgiveness for that later too. ]
no subject
Huh? What do you mean?
[Totally oblivious... Kirk might not be great at discretion, but Keith wasn't great at picking up on hints. Kirk didn't have much to worry about.]
no subject
Hmm, well, you know. Is there someone special on your mind?
[ Right, Lance had told him Keith was a bit thick, so he didn't feel so bad about being hamfisted about this. ]
