[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!)

"Alright," George nodded. "Still free to come drop by your office unofficially?"

"My door is always open to you, you know that," Bones told him. "Make me one more of those and I'll be out of your hair."

"Then I'd better make it slow," George said, suiting words to actions. It was actually harder to do something slow than it was to do it fast and showy.

"C'mon, this seems to be the place to be. Everyone waiting to chat with you." Bones settled onto a bar stool, pulling the wings off and putting them down on the floor next to him.

"And I know everyone is eager to ogle you," George reminded him teasingly. "how are you doing?"

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"Am good," Bones told him. "Been busy, catching up on things I missed when you two were injured. Sorta let the mundane paperwork build up."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Swear that stuff breeds like tribbles," George muttered. "Always wound up with three piles, where I'd swear there was only one, when I got in in the morning."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"Gonna have to break down and get some help one of these days, if we keep having these fool people go off and get themselves injured," Bones told him, shaking his head at George.

"Hire Sam," George suggested. "Worse things he could do..."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Bones snorted. "I doubt he'd be interested. 'sides," he shrugged. "I don't think he particularly cares for me."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes I wonder if he cares for me either," George shook his head. "Anyway...you'll just have to find your own yeoman."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"Might have to," Bones nodded into his drink. "So, your family glad to have you back?"

He hadn't spoken directly to Winnie since they fought and she'd slapped him.

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Chris and Winnie and Jim are," George said. "Sam? I'm not sure." He sighed heavily, feeling even the years he didn't properly live through.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"He worried about getting you back on board as much as he did Jim," Bones told him. "Don't doubt him."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmm. So worried he decided to fight with Winnie right in front of me," George sighed heavily. "I don't know, Bones. I'm tired."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"It was a hard day for all of us, George," he said, thinking back to the argument he and Kirk had later that day. "There were a lot of things that needed to be said, though, even if they were hard to hear."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm," George hummed at that. "Certainly showed my place in his respect."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"He's hurting, George. You all are -" Bones didn't know why he was defending Sam, but he knew that it wasn't what George was thinking.

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Mmm," George said noncomitally. "How are you doing with the mom and Joanna situation anyway, Bones?"

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"Alright, I guess," he replied. "More worried about them than me, though."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"That's okay, I'll worry about you for you," George offered, smiling.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Bones grimaced. "...'s not what I meant, George. They've both had it a lot worse than me."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you haven't exactly had it rosy," George pointed out.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"I've got you and Jim back, that's all I wanted."

[kirk-george.livejournal.com]

"I know that," George said softly. "Doesn't mean it hasn't been stressful...and won't continue to be stressful, for you, for Chris, Winnie...."
