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!)

"And should I ever find myself in need of a fantastic kisser, I suppose I know who to ask."

Her glass was empty. She frowned vaguely at it.

Jim nodded gravely. "You have a few options," he confirmed. He knew about her... date with Spock, which hadn't happened yet, and wondered if there was anyone else she might possibly be interested in. Because otherwise, he felt bad.

"Need more wine?"

"More wine might...be a very bad idea, actually," she replied, staring into the empty glass, and took a deep breath. She looked up at him. "But thank you."

Despite the wine-induced teasing, she actually had no intention of seeking out fantastic kisses from Bill or anyone else Jim might be referring to. Casual affairs weren't her style, and she wasn't interested in anyone other than Spock.

Jim relented, feeling guilty. She was far too nice a person to leave things this way. He reached out and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, squeezing lightly.

"I'm sorry, Christine," he said. "You know I was just teasing, don't you?"

She gave him a rueful smile.

"I know, Captain," she assured him. She shook her head, trying to dispel the alcoholic haze in her mind. "No, don't apologize. Just please..." she paused and glanced at him, quirking her mouth a tiny bit. "Please don't show up at my door and ask if you can kiss Bill in front of my mirror."

Jim chuckled happily.

"I wouldn't," he said. "I wouldn't do that to you. I have far too much respect for you."

She smiled in relief. She hadn't actually thought he would. Still, it didn't hurt to make sure.

"I think I'm going to go eat some bread, or something," she told him. "Have a lovely evening, Captain." She hesitated a moment, wondering what she could say to assure him that she was all right with the teasing. Finally, she leaned forward and lightly pecked his cheek, quickly turning to hide her blush and disappearing into the crowd.

Jim grinned after her. The party was, he thought, good for everyone.

He still didn't know what to do about her and Spock. But he knew he had to let whatever happened, happen. It wasn't his place.
