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! ]

[Such good manners, it's a shame he had to waste them Remy's poor jokes.] Too true, far too true. 'm hopin' for 'nother relaxin' planet, maybe a resort of some sorts. Think could go for some lyin' by the beach for a bit, some of those drinks with lil' 'mbrellas in them. For 'while at least.

Though I do have to start gettin' some credits to m' name and buyin' back items I lost. M' self made larder be emptier than I would like it, lost all m' spices I had collected over the time here.

I am still not completely certain what function the little umbrellas have. Are they just decorative? If so, why umbrellas?

[This is what you get for talking about FUTURE STUFF to him, Remy. ]

Still, I agree. It would be nice to be able to relax again for a little while.

[It's funny because Lumière is never relaxed. ]

That is tragic. Perhaps we will find a planet with a good market, no?

Me either, guess it just to make them look pretty 'nd tropical. Never really been in drinks I go for, 'less someone be buyin' them for me, then not goin' to turn that down.

[As for the loss of items, all Remy could do was shrug. He was sad some things were gone, stuff he knew he couldn't replace and were special to him, but he managed to save the most important of them; Rogue's guitar. It had gone to Kurt when he had vanished and Remy was very happy to have reclaimed it.

And it was kinda nice to have lost his wedding ring again. No need for those bad memories to stick around.]


One can only hope. Always such a gamble with each planet, if it be stunnin' 'nd 'mazin' 'ngrediants, 'nd preferably ones that store well, or stuff that feel like it's goin' to burn a hole through ya stomach if ya try to eat it.

Could be worse, could go for a real risk 'nd go askin' sponsors for food. Though that can be fun at times too, never know what ya get.

But of course not. You can't look a gift horse in the mouth, no?

[Who needs bad memories when you can repress them as hard as possible, right? ]

I am sure Jarvis would find that preferable, too. There's only so much food we can use in the Melting Pot before it runs out. Or is just...water.

Given what I have seen of our sponsor drops, I would say you'd be more likely to get some amusing novelty item than anything actually useful.

Ya say that, but considerin' we've had a talkin' horse, or pony, here before, not sure if they be the right use of words. [That had been a little weird. Maybe why talking to a candle stand seems less weird now days.]

Be happy to pass on 'ny good savin's or 'ngredients that I may find when we planetside. Even if we be in competition. [A grin to go with that, not really feeling that but wondering if Nami would approve of one of her cooks offering such a thing. The girl did like her money, and if the Space Bar has special items others didn't have, then that only helped sales.]

You...have? Really?

[That sounds pretty damn insane and he's literally talking furniture. ]

That's very kind of you mon ami, Jarvis would be very, very grateful, I am sure.
