[HALLOWEEN PARTY!] -- [Open to ALL PLAYERS!] -- [IC Event!]

[kirktastic]

It had gone out as an announcement over a month ago, sent to every padd and station by one very excited Captain. A Halloween party! Must come in costume, must have fun!

Despite the hell that had been going on for the last few days, Kirk was determined that it still would happen. After a long discussion with the ship's quartermaster, along with a small army of crewmen who wanted to help, the largest rec room was decorated.

A huge buffet table had been prepared by the galley and sat spread out, all in Halloween theme. Green punch with floating eyeballs, cake decorated to look like a gravestone, a huge bowl of candy, a holographic severed hand that was scurrying around on the table top. There was even a bar set up with quite an expanse of liquor that had been secured on Risa.

There was a small seating area off to one corner, a huge dance floor, tables spread out for a real meal, and a small corner set up for music.

(OOC: Just like the thread with Risa... this is a party that's 'open' from now until Sunday night at midnight! Go nuts! This IS supposed to be IC, like the Risa party, so keep that in mind!)

Bones had heard a few chuckles, and to be honest had expected them. Didn't make it easier...

"I'm here fifteen minutes, tops, and if Jim doesn't arrive, that's too fucking bad," he gruffed, glaring at one of the medics who walked by and choked into her drink.

Sam grabbed his arm and pulled him further into the room. The further the doctor was from the door, the further he'd have to run. The further the doctor'd have to run, the more time Sam had to intercept him.

"Get the fuck off my arm," Bones snarled quietly. "I'm not leaving before I get some more cake."

Then I'm leaving.

The dessert table was on the far side of the room, so Sam let him go and resumed chuckling as he watched the doctor stomp away.

Em's eyes widened when she got closer. "Lenny, is that you?" She bit her lip to try to keep her giggles to herself.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Shit... Halfway to the dessert table and Bones was caught. "Hello Momma," he said, turning and stopping at the sight of her. "What- what are you supposed to be?"

Fuck, his mother was wearing that?

It was proving rather interesting, this living a whole evening according to the mantra, 'What Would Jim Kirk Do?' Particularly where the answer was obviously: talk to the mostly-naked guy in the wings, even if you don't really recognise him.

This being the case, Bill sauntered over to the curious apparition and tapped it on the shoulder. "Hey, angel," he said, smirking the trademark Kirksmirk to the best of his ability. "Why so agitated?"

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Bones took a step closer to Jim, giving him a little growl. "Look, Jim, I know you think this is funny, but I'm not in a really fucking good mood right now." He shrugged a little bit, nodding at Jim. "How come you didn't dress up?"

[canadianbill.livejournal.com]

Bill shrugged. "Why improve on perfection?" He affected concern. "I bet I could cheer you up. Hmm?" He smirked up at the scowling doctor from under his eyelashes.

Okay, so doubtless his characterisation of Jim was scandalously unfair. But Bill was having too much fun to relent.

Across the room, Leonard watched Bill approach McCoy with some concern. The doctor looked decidedly not in the mood for Bill's interpretation of the classic Kirkian charm.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Bones in fact did chuckle a little. "Sorry Jim," he said quietly. "Been a long week, you know?" He shrugged. "It's been slow going, not anything you don't know."

There was a glint in Jim's eyes that was sort of familiar, and in some way comforting. "You know, we never did get a chance to invite you and Spock over to our rooms for dinner, to pay you guys back for um," Bones blushed a little, "your hospitality."

[canadianbill.livejournal.com]

Their...hospitality. God, Jim really was unbelievable, wasn't he? Bill decided to stop worrying about mischaracterising the Captain as a gigantic slut and just get on with it, since apparently it was convincing.

"I know how it is, Bones," he said soothingly, reaching out to rub a hand soothingly over the bare muscle of Bones's upper arm. Up close, the combination of accent and attitude, perhaps more than the face, made it obvious that this was indeed the younger Bones McCoy. "And you know Spock and I would love to come over for..." He paused, wetting his lips thoughtfully, as if choosing his words with great care - "reparations." He smiled. "I'm sure it was a pleasure, having the two of you over."

This was no lie. Bill was pretty sure it must have been. He also couldn't exactly see Jim Kirk objecting to more sex (seriously, Jim??) with this fine young specimen.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

The hand on his arm was a bit forward, but it was Jim Kirk... "I'm sure we'd enjoy seeing you two again. I know my Jim would enjoy it. You're very important to him," Bones said, a little wistfully.

[canadianbill.livejournal.com]

Bill suddenly felt a little guilty. Moreover, he knew he'd feel even more guilty if he had to explain to Bones that he wasn't actually Jim Kirk at all. He sought a suitable escape.

"Well," Bill said, patting Bones's arm before dropping his hand, "I think I see him over there, in the very excellently cut tuxedo." He indicated with a finger. "So you might ask him? I must dash, though - I just thought I'd come over and see you - you looked in need of a friendly word. I'll message you about dinner, okay?"

He smiled reassuringly, summoned all of his daring, stretched up to peck Bones on the mouth, and dashed off before anything further could be said.

He couldn't imagine Jim would be too displeased to discover he had a sexdate. Right?

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Bones stood a moment, speechless. Even for Jim, that was bold, but... it was a party, right? And he was practically naked, perhaps that gave people the idea that he was available for groping.

But before he could think too more on that, he saw what Jim had been talking about - Kirk was entering the room (http://kirktastic.livejournal.com/27230.html?view=1092958#t1092958).

"I'm Wonder Woman!" she stated proudly with her fists on her hips. "Like your grandfather's comics!" She lifted an eyebrow. "And what are you supposed to be?"

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

He stared at her, then turned his eyes away. "I'm Cupid. Don't ask," he shook his head. She really didn't need to know...

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

She let a snicker escape. "All right, baby, if you say so. I'm gonna go meet some more of your friends on board." She walked away, trying not to crack up.
