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! ]

[That smile is hidden a little as Felix lowers his head slightly. But it reemerges from the confusion nonetheless. He's looking somewhere in the vicinity of the floor right now.]
Okay.
I guess you've missed chances, anyway.
[He's not....sure he should be encouraging all this. But it kind of feels good in the moment.]
no subject
no subject
...These days? The idea that anyone would make that much effort to consider his feelings is...touching. His gaze flickers back up and for a brief moment the look in his eyes is questioning. It's replaced with a more neutral expression very shortly though.
He should nip this in the bud. He should definitely nip this in the bud. There's this little kernel of warmth in the pit of his stomach that says he should nip this in the bud.]
Sure. I mean, if you feel like it.

So what about today? Is today a flirt-friendly day? Seems like, what with the dancing and all. But one wouldn't want to assume.
no subject
[A smile blooms on his face again, and it's pleased and self-conscious at the same time.
Back before everything, Felix might have attempted to even out this dynamic (Gil, charming; himself, pleased but off his guard) by making it a little more physical but that seems...unwise. Indulging too much in this fantasy.
He's never been great at flirting himself, but:]
What about me? I am I allowed to flirt with you?
[It's not the most genuine question, his smile shifting slightly more towards coy.]
no subject
So no pressure, Felix. That's the most important part.
no subject
It's so tempting to believe.
Felix just keeps smiling though. Flirting, right.]
I'm not sure it's the quantity you should be lowering your expectations on. I'm, uh, kind of rusty.
But you're definitely worth the effort of getting back into the game.
[That's....not terrible...? He's trying.]
no subject
And don't worry about the rusty parts, we'll just have to figure out what kind of metaphorical WD-40 works on you, won't we?
no subject
[It's a step too far, and Felix knows it, but he strokes his thumb against Gil's back.]
And I'm definitely interested. For the record.
[Sober Felix is going to wonder what the frak is wrong with Tipsy Felix in the morning.]
no subject
That a fact? Well, I don't know if I've been clear or not. But me too.
