[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!)

"That means I get your beautiful company tonight?" George asked, scanning the room every few seconds, keeping aware of what was going on.

"For now," she replied, placing her drink on the bartop. Every so often she would smile and wave to someone she knew, though she was content to leave them to their personal conversations for the moment. "I won't force you to keep me company all night." Turning her attention back to George, she looked over his costume, not entirely sure what he was. "How are you feeling George?"

"Oh god, force me to hang out with a beautiful lady," George snorted. "Do I really look that bad? He'd thought he was improving, the skin that wasn't covered anyway.

Nyota shook her head. "You look great, wouldn't think you'd just scared us all half to death." She reached out with a hand and gripped his arm softly. "I didn't ask how you looked, I asked how you felt. Semantics George."

"I've felt worse," George responded. "How are you?"

[just-uhura.livejournal.com]

"I've felt worse," Nyota mimicked with a playful smile, settling back in her seat. "You're terrible at talking about yourself, aren't you?"

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"That's why I was a bartender," George smiled. "So I could let other people talk about themselves. You should feel bad for Bones during our psych appointments."

"Oh, I do." she assured him with a laugh. "But then again he's a stubborn bastard too, so I don't feel too sorry for him."

"I do believe he resembles that remark," George chuckled. "Eventually I need to pin down your boyfriend and thank him."

Her smile was a little tighter at that, but she nodded. "I'm sure he'll tell you it was nothing, just doing his job yadda yadda yadda."

"Trouble in paradise?" George asked, grabbing a cup to clean. "Talk to me, Boss-lady."

She picked up her drink and took another sip, twisting around to look at the room and not at him. "Nothing's wrong."

"Now about you tell the truth Nyota, 'cause if you think I'm gonna believe that, I've got some oceanfront property in Mojave to sell ya," George snorted.

She looked back to him, meeting his steady gaze. "What makes you so sure I'm lying?" she questioned, knocking back the rest of her drink.

"Let's start with the fact your body language was screaming 'something is wrong' when I mentioned your boyfriend. Then it switched to I'm lying my ass off when I asked what was wrong. And now it's defensive," George shrugged. "I'm just a listening ear with four years experience tending bar and twenty six being a Kirk. If there's a romantic entanglement I haven't come across..."

[just-uhura.livejournal.com]

"I'm not doubting your experience as either," she replied smoothly. "But I'm not a Kirk. And I have no issue with Spock."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Then who?" George asked patiently.

[just-uhura.livejournal.com]

"You think I have a problem?" Nyota asked, tilting her head with some curiosity.
