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! ]

Ya make it sound like we in a soap opera when ya put it like that, which could actually help the ratin's, I guess, dependin' on the viewer. 'nd sound like ya got much more 'ntense circle of friends than I do, 'nd that sayin' a bit considerin' who I know 'round these places. [Between the mutants, and the pirate, and the space captain. Quite a range, really.]

I think we are the soap opera.

And I wouldn't say they're more intense than anyone else. It'd just be nice to relax and not have planet-sized things to worry about.

So picky, cherie, askin' for something as complex as that. [The tone of joking and his smile making sure it was clear he was kidding around.] Got ratin's to keep up, don't ya know.

Yes, my expectations are clearly way too high.

What do you make of all that? The ratings?

Ratin's? 'bout as much as 'ny of this bein' a 'show' or whatever it be; I don't really think 'bout it. Can get too paranoid or caught up in it all if think too much 'nto it, start questionin' everything ya do. [Before his smile turned into a brighter grin.] Then again, got a lot 'round here who would say I never think to begin with.

[Remy opened his mouth to answer, whether it was to argue or anything else, but closed it again and just nodded.] Yeah, ya right, it be.

Why I try not to think too much 'bout it, did my head in when I first arrived, thinkin' where these cameras be. 'm normally pretty good spottin' them, but have never seen 'ny signs of them at 'nytime. [And even after all this time he had been looking, always somewhere in the back of his mind to keep checking for them.] 'nough to wonder how true this whole story be 'bout us bein' on some tv show, but in the end, not like it matters. We still here, 'nd that doesn't change if they be lyin' to us or not.
