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!))

[Such a place sounds absolutely fantastical, but considering all she's experienced here it's not exactly surprising to hear about. She does quirk an eyebrow at him,]

Dinosaur zoos?

Dinosaur zoos. We went it twice, both times it went awful and the fuckers escaped and tried to kill all of us. Jurassic Park, it was called. Though I think the second one was more them running wild after the first go round.

[She quietly drinks her coffee as she considers this, then follows up with another question;]

What are dinosaurs? [She remembers some vague book some incaulculable amount of years ago ... but the finer nuances escape her.]

Bloody big bird-lizards, essentially. Some of them eat plants, some of them eat meat. Huge fuckers, all of them, and vicious too. Humans think they lived on Earth billions of years ago, but they didn't really. We just planted the bones there for shits and giggles.

Earth's history, then? [File that under things she feels she should know however has no idea.] So much of that world was lost.

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2018-03-18 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's it. Supposedly anyway.

[He cants his head at her. ]

Generally history does that to the place. Time moves on and a lot just gets forgotten.

What was Earth like, in your time?

When you say 'my time', I'm going to assume you mean the last time I saw it- because otherwise we'd be here all day. It was alright. No spaceships or the fancy future shite we have here. It was 1990. We had mobile phones and computers and the internet was starting to take off. Lots of people, churning around, living their chaotic little lives- mostly without having to worry about being in any especial danger, unless they were in a particularly war-torn country.

I've heard about ... times like that. I wonder what it was like.
onlyanapple: (Sneaky Bastard)

It was alright. There have been considerably worse points in human history, so I can't really complain.

That I don't doubt.
