Fleetsgiving Mingle [ Open to All ]
Who: Everyone Who Wants to Come!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Yes, Planetside
When: Sunday
An invitation was sent out via the network to all of the Fleet, inviting them to come together for a night of feasting, dancing, and games.
Kirk has managed to procure an event space for what he has dubbed Fleetsgiving. It sports a warm, interior space, decorated with tables, including two longer ones for food and drink. Along the far wall is a fireplace, crackling away for warmth, chairs set around and a table for fireplace games. The entire room glows with lights set in draped garlands, candles, and dim lights, warm and inviting and offering intimacy for those who wish to find it. Kirk would take credit for the decor, but no, it was the product of the owners of the event space. Probably just as well, to be honest.
An open space at the center is open for dancing at one's leisure, music drifting through the air - loud enough for dancers to sway to a beat, but not loud enough to make conversation impossible. But, who knows, maybe towards the latter half of the evening when everyone has drunk enough, there will be a dance contest. There might also be a karaoke contest, but, really, that's up to the people.
There is some prepared food - something that looks like a kind of poultry and something like meatballs in a bright orange sauce. Kirk can't vouch for what sort of animals they came from, but he can vouch for them being delicious. Bread, jam spreads, butter, local nuts and crackers. For desert there are what look like tiny tarts, and cookies dusted in a sweet pink powder. But while there is food provided, there is plenty of room for others to bring their favorites from home, or even their favorites from being here in the Fleet.
Nothing was spared for drinks either. Local wines are set out in their bottles, ready to pour, fizzy drinks in cans and punch bowls, harder options for those who wished them further down, and water and juice for those less inclined to imbibe. While there isn't much room for additions, they are welcome.
By the fire are a number of games laid out for choice - cards, some board games, and even a chess set, though it is a touch odd. Three boards, at varying heights, on a curved stand. The way the seats are arranged make it comfortable for many to play at once, or for only a few to play and many to gather by the fire and watch or idly chatter.
Come one, come all, and have a good time!
[ ooc: this is an open mingle post! Go ahead and make your own starters, tag around, and have a good time! Characters would be encouraged to bring their own food to add, or drinks if they so like, favorite games, etc. ]

Oh, how very sweet and generous of you, Taako.
[ There might be a touch of sarcasm in there now. He might have offered, but if you send him an outrageous bill - he'll just laugh in your face. He likes you Taako, and he's willing to reward you, but he has limits. ]
When do I get upgraded to the friends and family discount?
no subject
[He says probably only because he likely still has some cousins or kin of cousins floating around somewhere. Elven families lived a hell of a long time and tended to sprawl so he doesn't doubt he has a relative bouncing around Faerun. It's just the matter of whether he'd count them as family or not. Family was supposed to care about you, but none of his had given half a damn. Most people didn't even know he existed anymore.]
no subject
There's the friends half, and I would very much like to be in that category.
[ He gives Taako one of those genuine smiles that lights up a room. He's sincere when he says it. Taako is flirtatious and fun to banter with, a good cook, and a handful as like to cause trouble as attract it but Kirk rather liked that in a person. ]
no subject
We'll see how long it takes you to level up to that, huh? You got a good start with that waffle maker though. Thing's been handy.
no subject
[ Taako, if Kirk heard that aloud and they were near a pool, he would shove you in. The same as he did Lance. Why is it all the people he's coming to care about here all need a good shove in a pool? ]
Honestly we both benefitted from that purchase, so, you're welcome.
no subject
My crew's benefited a shitload - not that they probably notice.
[He rolls his eyes and stretches his arms forward toward the fire. The warmth is welcome even here. He's never been great with the cold.]
Just know that you're both gaining and losing points at all times. It'll be a race to see who claims the top spot.
