It's Party Time [ Open ]

[universal_charm]

Who: Jim Kirk & You!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Yes, Planet-side @ Alloy Lake
When: Sometime in the evening

While it wasn't broadcasted, between how many people were told and the fact it wasn't exactly a private affair on a very public beach, anyone was welcome to come to this little shindig. Kirk's feelings were mostly that they all could use a break and a chance to relax together as friends, family, teammates, or any other word you chose to assign to the relationships you had on the Fleet. It was a nice break from working in projects too. It was nice to have something to occupy yourself in a creative and useful way, but it was always a good idea to take a break and refresh the brain now and then.

Which was how he came to the idea of a party on Alloy Lake.

He scouted a scrap of land near the water to set up on - beach towels, a cooler with drinks, a mocked up grill to cook some food. He went out later in the afternoon to start with more than enough light to enjoy some swimming, though it would be dark soon enough for certain members to join without being uncomfortable. At which point, a bonfire was built. What? A lack of sunlight is never a reason to stop partying! Especially not with such good company.

_{[ ooc: It's a party on the beach! Make your own starters and have some fun! There's drinks - alcoholic and non - food, a couple of games or make your own, a bonfire later in the night with of course means some kind of smore, swimming, and more. In terms of invite, you can assume you were directly told by Kirk, or told by someone else, or the grapevine. It's open to all, so don't worry to much about it. Have fun! ]}

[He takes his plate almost reverently. Like Lyall has somehow given him the greatest treasure of all time.

This is what happens when you do something so nice for someone who spent years getting nothing.]

...Thank you.

[A pause.]

I can get more food. If we run out.

[sandywolf]

That's good to hear. If we do run out, we'll make sure to get some more, then.

And you should take your time to eat and chew well.

[He's not sure he's doing this right. Biffy has always been the one more on hand with the whole parenting thing with Robin.]

[twosidedsword]

Oh.

[He looks down at his food and takes a bite and tries chewing slower. Since the man told him to and all that.

He really is trying. It's more just that he's never had anyone to teach him any of this until...right now.]

[sandywolf]

[Good. Science says chewing slowly is essential for good digestion and that it helps reduce the feeling of hunger. So maybe that'll work.

Lyall is going to help himself to some of his raw meat while he's there, because that's what he came here for in the first place.]

Good. Just eat a bit more slowly andyou might feel less hungry as well.

[twosidedsword]

...it does?

[He had no idea. He looks down at his food wondering if that will really help. Sometimes he's not even hungry but he finds he can still eat just as much.

He just...can always eat.

He looks back up to the man.]

...thank you.

[sandywolf]

You're welcome.

Just pace yourself a little and it will be fine.

[twosidedsword]

[He nods.]

Okay. I'll try.

[He looks to the raw meat again then back to the other.]

I'll tell others about your food.

[sandywolf]

Thank you. That is most kind.

[Really, a polite, soft-spoken young man. A shame no one taught him any table manners.]

[twosidedsword]

[His cheeks color a bit but then he goes to sit off out of the way so that way he won't actually get in front of the food the man is trying to get to. Especially since he seems to be getting two plates of food so he guesses a friend wants something as well.]
