[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!)

"Seems like a god bunch. Though I haven't dressed anything like this since my pre-Lenny days." Em chuckled. "Wait, do you think this might embarrass him?" she asked, motioning the costume.

"They do, though you've probably met more people than me at this point. As for embarrassing your son, that's one of the purposes of a parent," he said with a slightly wicked grin.

"Well now, I never saw fit to embarrass Lenny. I have no reason to. And really, I've only met a small handful of people. Mostly stayed with my son this whole time."

He thought silently for a moment. Finally, sincerely, "I'm glad you were able to reunite with your son. I've heard rumors that...well, it's been a rough time on-ship recently, and I can't imagine how he handled seeing you again."

Em nodded slowly. "Yeah, the boys have been put through some hard times lately. This," she waved at the party, "might be what they needed to feel a bit more normal again. I think he was shocked at first but now...he's still getting used to having momma back around."

"I'd say it's a very well-timed party. And it's good that he's beginning to accept your being back. Emma," he said, placing a comforting hand on her arm, "any investigating I have to do can wait. There's party fun to be had, and plenty of other things to do. It's more important for you to adjust, and I plan on telling that to any of my superiors who might pressure me."

With a grin he shook the edge of his cape. "Now, fair lady, care to share a drink with me? Or was that seen as un-feminist for Wonder Woman?"

"It's good to be back, Ephram." she whispered. "And thank you. I think we all need time to adjust before you report to your superiors." She shook her head at his display. "No, good sir, I must keep vigilant for any bad guys that might crop up. Perhaps later."

"I'll do what I can to make time for all of you, because honestly, their demands are too much, too soon." He straightened his posture. "Enough of that. I wish you well in your vigilance against evil," he finished with a wink.

She winked back. "Have fun, Ephram."
