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!))

[That's honestly...a perspective he hadn't really come across before. Juan had been old-fashioned to an extreme, but to his memory he can't remember him ever complaining about this issue specifically.
...Felix thinks about commenting on the fact that Biffy is maybe implying that the rest of them are less that civilized, but he doesn't. No real need to be argumentative.]
I can see where that could cause some friction. They're probably just uncomfortable with the level of formality too.
[...If, you know, Biffy really needs to be told that.]
no subject
He sighs lightly.]
Though I can understand their concerns, I am also uncomfortable with immediately rushing into the sort of closeness being suggested to me before I have had the chance to really know...anyone.
[So, basically, he's being stubborn and he knows it. But he's going to be stubborn darn it! Because right now he doesn't have his Beta around to tell him to chill out.]
no subject
Sure. Makes sense.
You could make some sort of announcement over the network, if it starts getting to you. You know, a friendly etiquette lesson.
[He's kind of serious about the first part of that suggestion. The second half is...well, not completely insincere. He's just not sure how good a suggestion it is and the tone of his voice conveys that. It's a lot more light-hearted.]
no subject
[He does happen to look thoroughly amused at the etiquette lessons though.]
You know, I could make an effort to study various cultures and give lessons on etiquette for them. I am certain plenty could use those.
[He's only sort of joking.]
no subject
[Felix smiles, though it's small.]
It's not the worst idea.
no subject
[If nothing else he figures it could be something to do.]
You are right though. It's not the worst idea.
no subject
[It seemed like most people were, back in Camp, but he really doesn't know.]
