[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!)

"I like hearing about them too," Bones told her. "Anytime you need to talk, you know I'm here. I know I'm not your dad, but..." he shrugged. "I'd like to be your friend."

"Friends would be nice...or maybe family?" Joanna glanced at him hesitantly from under her eyelashes. "I've kinda gotten used to creating my own and something tells me you might make good family."

"Family would be even better," Bones told her, reaching out to put his hand on top of hers. "I'd like that. Alot."

She turned her hand and squeezed his. "I miss them so much."

"I know they'd be so proud of you, sweetie," Bones told her, "You survived, and that's all a parent could hope for. Nothing else matters."

"No, Papa and Daddy would be yelling at me for not securing myself in the escape pod," Joanna said fighting back tears. Not today for those.

Bones shook his head. "Trust me on this," he said, reaching out and touching her cheek. "Can I give you a hug, sweetheart or do I look to ridiculous to be see hugging?"

Joanna smiled and wrapped her arms around Bones. "Never be too ridiculous to be seen hugging you."
