[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!)

Leonard laughed. "It's really odd to think of the trappings of my daily life as antiques. I could probably auction off my coffee grinder around here and make a fortune, which just seems... bizarre."

"You owned an actual coffee grinder? Oh my dad would just love you. What's it like having a coffee grinder? I heard it was messy and took a long time to actually make coffee."

"I wouldn't say it's too messy, once you've figured it out. Just stick the beans in, turn the top, and it grinds them," he mimed the process, complete with sound effect. "And you really cannot beat freshly ground and filtered coffee. It does take a while, but it's absolutely worth it."

She laughed at his miming. "That is amazing. I could never wrap my head around something like that. Some places still do that. I...never really got around to going to those places. Never had the time. Athens is a bit slow to catch up with the 23rd century." she chuckled.

Leonard smiled. "Now I'm almost tempted to replicate one and raid the galley just to show everyone what proper coffee is like. Although things still seemed to be quite traditional when it comes to baking, except that the ovens are more efficient, from what I saw the other week."

"Alas, I never inherited any cooking skills from my parents. David was always the one who cooked or baked in the house." She rolled her eyes. "Probably due to surgeon's hands or something." Though the prospect of good ol' fashioned coffee was interesting. "You should put the word out if you do make proper coffee." She shrugged. "I've got nothing but time now so I'd like to enjoy some."

"I'll definitely will, and boy do I know the feeling. I'm starting to think I'm coming down with space fever at this rate - there's only so much sitting around in your quarters you can do, gets old after a while."

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

She processed the saying in her mind. "You mean cabin fever? Like the days of old when they had ships. You should try the sims around here. I heard the Federation likes equipping their ships with it so their crews won't go nuts."

"I didn't realize they had that kind of thing around starships - I guess I'm a little too used to the other universe, where really, it seemed to come down to getting some decent shore leave time in to avoid everyone losing it."

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

"Now don't take my word for it. I'm just saying what I heard. I guess I haven't been here long enough to really want shore leave. I'm still catching up after 13 years!" she laughed.

"Yes, I'm sure that'll take some time, so I probably shouldn't keep you any longer." A nod of his head to the room at large, "Besides, I wouldn't want to deprive everyone else of the chance to say hello to Wonderwomen. But it was nice meeting you, Mrs. McCoy."

She rolled her eyes at his Wonder Woman comment. "I should probably go look for my son in this mess. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Nimoy." Em smiled and walked away.
