sixteenth labyrinth | Party because I can

Who: Felix Harrowgate and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Málum
When: Today-ish

[It's largely boredom that leads Felix to this decision. Either in the Mirador or Paradisa, he'd been fond of finding any reason whatsoever to get a few people together for food and drinks. The company generally meant more than the setting, though of course it was far easier to arrange things at a snap of his fingers than it was here. Still, he manages it within a few days of the fleet's time adrift.

That morning, he addresses the network.

Hello again, dear fleet. Felix Harrowgate of the Goldstone here, if we haven't yet met. I've put together a little soirée this evening, at Málum. Consider it an appreciation of our time of peace and quiet...or the beginnings of spring. Whichever sounds best to you. It isn't much, admittedly, but there is food and drinks and hopefully people. May as well enjoy things before something else explodes, hm?

Oh, and semi-formal attire would be appreciated, not that I intend on turning anyone out at the door. I'm sure many of us have a little something in our closet that doesn't much get to see the light of day. [Well, not so much in his case, of course, but the point stands]

See you all tonight. [He closes the feed with a smile]

[That night Málum is - not transformed, exactly, but - altered. The stark furniture softened with simple white tablecloths, with centerpieces cobbled together from wine glasses, candles, and flowers from the garden. The neon, for the night, has been switched off. Even the galaxy of lights on the dancefloor have been changed to project the shape of flowers.

The food laid out is fairly basic but fitting the bar's wheelhouse - meats cooked inside puff pastry, thin stacks of sauteed vegetables, and mini quiches to name of few. The finale sits in the form of the lemon cake (commissioned, likely, from the Melting Pot). Some of the flavor is even real lemon!

Drinks are free within reason and music plays softly in the background, for anyone that feels like dancing. Felix would have preferred more classical selections, but all of this is a case of working with what you have.

[EDIT: If you wait too long Sansa will have stolen most of the cake]

((ooc: This is essentially a mingle, so feel free to make your own top levels and have some fun!))

Or the premise. Or the party.

[And yep, she's putting more credits in, look at her go.]

But it would be improper for any captain to skip such a gathering. Anything done for the fleet should have the entirety of the fleet represented. No matter how trivial or absurd.

[And there's a couple more credits. At this rate, by the end of the night Crowley's going to have the down payment for a space yacht.]

So that would be Captain Looma, then. [She glances about the room.] Are all the captains here?
tough_love: (Whatever)

[personal profile] tough_love 2018-03-12 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'll just nod in confirmation before giving the room a quick scan at that question, if only to verify her own observations so far. It might be trivial to most people, but she doesn't like to mislead anyone on anything, no matter how small.]

They are not. Some are, certainly, but not all of us.

[Something she'll just shrug her shoulders at- she's long since accepted that despite her status as a princess and a warlord in her own right back home, she can't just tell the entire fleet what to do. At this point she's mostly concerned with just making sure her own crew stays in line.]

I expected better of them, but it is their decision to make. I assume you are here more for the food, or potential entertainment?

[She may not know Katie, but she has been picking up on what most humans consider to be more "formal" attire... and Katie is definitely not wearing that. Still, she doesn't sound particularly judgmental- hell, Looma doesn't even want to be here- but she does like to get a feel for these things.]

Yes, yes, and more. It's a way to learn about people. Humans are never more honest than when they've been drinking, did you know?

[She actually doesn't care much; Looma would be more correct that she were just here for the food and entertainment. But that's generally true, she supposes.]

Are they? I am still learning how to live with them. There were several at the last world I was trapped in, but I was not forced to be so close to them.

[She had several aboard her ship. That was a lot closer than she was used to. But oh, right, this one at least looks human, she should probably clarify a little.]

I do not hold any grudge against them, but they have very different rules and behaviors than what I am familiar with.
hollystrike: (Law kan ah law kan)

Mmm. I have friends who suffer the same issue. Humans do tend to have their own oddities that are hard to fathom.

[She loves it. Unpredictability.]
