[ 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! ]

You've called me worse. Plus, I got a bigger win out of this.

[He likes that smile. Another victory, there.]
tempredmental: (Okay Smile)

[Keith scrunched up his eyebrows a little, and then shrugged.]

Okay.

Hey... you hungry?

[He wanted to check out the food. And maybe the drinks...]

[personal profile] the_tailor 2017-11-28 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely. All that dancing's left me famished.

[He grins, getting up and gesturing for Keith to follow him to the refreshment table.]
tempredmental: (Okay Smile)

[Keith watched Lance get up and then nodded, using the table for leverage to get up as well.]

It looks like they have a lot of stuff... though, a lot of it's probably made from those weird gels and solids. I don't know how much in the way of actual food ingredients they were able to get off this planet. The locals didn't seem to have much because of the Vieziri.

[Poor Keith... Lance feels a little bad at forcing him to dance, when he's obviously still this sore. Once the party's over, he's helping him back to the Huntress, complaints be damned.]

Hunk still complains, but honestly, I'd rather these weird gels and stuff than the food goo. At least these come in different flavors. Food goo just comes in....green.
tempredmental: (Okay Smile)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-11-30 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even know what flavor it is... it's just... weird.

[He shrugged a bit. He noted that there were definitely some fresh ingredients. Though, using up everything they'd managed to stock up on from this planet seemed like a bad idea. They had no idea what was going to be happening next... long drift... another crazy planet to go with the third dream... Keith was wary. But he was also appreciative that whoever had set this up had been smart about using their supplies.

He grabbed a plate, handed it to Lance, and then grabbed a second one.]


What do you think looks interesting?

[After all, Lance was best friends with the team gourmand... he'd know, right? Maybe.]
