( closed ) I'll try not to sing out of key
who: Jim Kirk & close CR
what: a small get-together, and Jim introducing Victor to his friends
when: April 20th
where: a holosuite simulation of the Enterprise
warnings: none expected!
[ Jim's been in the Quarantine for a year now. Plenty of time to make connections, and establish a solid circle of friends that he cares for, trusts and relies on.
Granted, nothing's perfect. Plenty of people have come and gone. A number of names come to mind, too many people who left that he misses dearly. But the people he has here now, he cherishes them immensely. They're important to him, and some of them he'd almost consider family.
And Victor has mentioned more than once that he'd like to meet his friends. Jim's not keeping their relationship secret by any means, and after a month of going steady, he knows for sure how important Victor is to him, and that he'll be an important part of his life for as long as they're both in the Quarantine. So, it seems like the perfect time to set up a little get-together and invite his friends so he can introduce them to Victor.
Finding a place is a little tricky at first, because his loft is still inaccessible due to the flood, and it's not like he's gonna ask Victor to do it at his place. Beverly offers the perfect suggestion, though, and so Jim sets up one of the holosuites with his Enterprise program. Once arriving at the holosuites downtown and stepping inside, everyone will get to walk through a few of the various corridors of his ship, but the simulation is still fairly limited, and there's only so many areas one can visit. The small party itself is happening on the bridge, which would likely be the most inadequate location if this happened to be the real Enterprise. Seen as it isn't, though, no harm done.
There are a few snacks and sweets for people to help themselves to, plenty of drinks to go around (alcoholic and otherwise), and Jim has gone with a selection of old pop and rock music to be playing quietly in the background. It's not much, but it's really a very informal thing. His main purpose here —and he'll be going around the party making sure it happens— is to introduce Victor to his friends. ]
(( ooc: I'll be going around tossing Jim at people, possibly with Victor tagging along, but everyone's more than free to take this as an open log, so set up your own starters and tag around to your heart's content! ))

[Honestly, she hasn't been paying much attention to the music, not sharing in Jim's particular tastes. When she listens to 20th century music, it tends more toward swing and jazz.]
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar...?
no subject
[John shakes his head, tsking. Because it's super important. Obviously.
And he's a few drinks in. This is his attempt at humour when he's already anxious and in a bad mood. Sue him.]
He's only the greatest singer-songwriter who ever lived.
no subject
He's from well before my time.
no subject
When's your time? Let me guess, you're a fancy futurist like Jim.
[John leans on his hands on the table.]
You want something? I'm pretty good at mixing stuff.
no subject
[She grins.]
Sure. What did you have in mind?
no subject
[John's already got his hands on a couple bottles, looking at the labels. He knows most of them, but not all. Riverview has its own specialty liqueurs, and by the end of the week John will have tried most of them.]
Depends. Answer me a few questions.
Cold or hot? Sweet or sour? Hard or soft? Smooth or rough?
no subject
I do like hot drinks... and probably nothing too strong.
[She is, after all, more used to synthehol than regular alcohol. Better safe than sorry.]
As for the rest... dealer's choice!
no subject
[John starts making her a spiced Caesar. Since he can't do temperature hot, he'll go with jalapeno hot. He's easy on the alcohol, generous with the chili powder, and serves it up in a martini glass so the lady doesn't have to commit to a full drink if it's not her style.
He slides it across the table with a smirk, a lime and pepper mounted on the side, plus an umbrella. Just because he can.]
Tell me what you think.
no subject
She takes an experimental sip.]
Hmm. I have to admit, it's better than I expected.
