Who: steve rogers + you.
Broadcast: yep
Action: on the starstruck if you're so inclined
When: current

[ there's no need to address the last few weeks. others have done it, offering drinks and comforting words or just a down to business attitude. steve would have normally gone for the latter but today is an exception.

there are boxes scattered around the starstruck's cargo bay and it seems he is slowly unwrapping them all and unpacking a collection of decorations. they're not strictly christmas decorations but one must make do with what one is given.

and speaking of which - ]

I know the last few weeks have been difficult but I also know we're approaching the holidays. Those can be a little rough around here.

[ but look at him gesturing to those boxes ]

I thought we might start making it a little easier. I got these at the Kayanni system a couple of months ago. If you want to take a box for your ship, you're more than welcome to.

[ lord knows they have too much tinsel. ]

and if there's anything else you need help with - you know where I live.

[ oh look, it's a smile. apparently those do happen, still. ]

[Well she recognizes the concepts of "winter" and "solstice," at least.]

I know what a solstice is. I haven't heard of the other two, though.

Usually we cook a dinner, we invite friends, people give each other presents.

[ they may not all share a faith but surely everyone can relate to food and gifts and good company. ]

People decorate their houses, too. It may not be home but I figured maybe those decorations would do the trick around here.

Sounds pretty sappy.

[Her tone isn't quite as critical as the words might seem by themselves, though.]

Video

[uprightness]

That's pretty much it.

[ he chuckles; he's not going to shy away from the truth. ]

But you know, after the last few months, I figured we could use a little sappy.

Video

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, maybe. People could use good food, anyway.

[She's not sure about decorations and gift-giving but she can get behind cooking.]

I hope the next stop will have some places for groceries. I think all of my crew is pretty fed up with protein cubes.

[ and honestly, so is steve. ]

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, things are getting pretty sparse. It doesn't bother me much, but I'm pretty sure everyone else is getting bored.

[Not having a sense of taste can be surprisingly convenient in the Fleet.]

At least we have just about enough. It's one of the only things I can say for them.

[ but at the same time it worries him, just how dependent they are on atroma, how quickly that can be turned against them. ]
