MINGLE | The "Everyone's Tired and Hungry" Post-Mission Pizza Party
CHARACTERS: Everyone! A free-for-all general chill-out time, thrown haphazardly together by a mad scientist.
LOCATION: The Mess Hall
DATE: Sometime after the mission. Y'all know.
CONTENT: The Orb Crew tries to relax for a hot goddamn minute.
WARNINGS: Likely drinking or drunkenness, the usual party antics. Very mildly image heavy, NSFW for naughty threads, properly marked.
It seems the party has been properly set up for you all! But of course, there's an exuberant amount of 'Newton*' flair added to it, and people can find all sorts of random things — markers for drawing on the pizza boxes (which he distinctly requested, super important) cover the tables, and it's clear by the one designed like a Pikachu and a dinosaur that he's already began scribbling on them. He's also made... board games literally comprised of pizza boxes as well, including Chess and Connect Four, which is lovingly set up side-by-side on a table and done with intent to annoy.
They've got one deck of cards for games, no chips; you'll have to just make some of your own out of pizza box cardboard. The most grand of all creation appears to be a normal-sized Skeeball table, made of flimsy material, with oranges for balls. It may or may not last the night, but it sure works for now!
There's a very strong bottle of liquor from their last mission open for everyone, and, well, it will get you drunk quite fast if you're not careful. But it's also a Bring Your Own Beer situation; hope you guys asked Viv for some to plan for the party!
Lastly, there's classic bar rock playing from an iPhone rigged to a speaker that looks very very cobbled together, from loose bits and bobs from the lab's many boxes. If you go fiddle with that phone's playlist, you may be able to find a small collection of songs that aren't rock, but are likely from the 90's or early 2000's.
And yes, there is a couch with a sign on it, designated specifically for people who wish to nap. If they'd like. Don't be rude, let people lay down when they're sleepy. (Maybe Newton just put that there for him, honestly.) There are 50 pizzas total, which is practically a whole-ass pizza per person, so enjoy! (And thanks, Viv!)
Feel free to bring your own flair to the party, if you'd like.
These are just a few things for a m b i e n c e.
(*If you mention him, he will appear like a terrible omen.)

[ She'd definitely be lying if she said otherwise. He smiles, giving a slow nod. ]
But I get that. It's not everyone's preference, I know.
no subject
So what's it like to take a back seat?
[Looking to him, Daisy hopes she remembers their first meeting correctly. Everything from that day is all over the place in her mind.]
You said you were a captain on a starship?
no subject
I don't really mind, in this situation. This isn't my crew, I don't really have the collective trust of the group, so I can't even begin to imagine the headache of trying to lead a group like this. Besides, everyone comes from vastly different backgrounds; I can't expect everyone to adhere to the same ethics or moral code that I do, which would make any attempt at a leadership more than just a little tricky.
Plus, I don't really know what we're truly doing here yet. I'd rather take a back seat while I try to figure that out.
no subject
Smart.
[And because he brings up the point of everyone's backgrounds being different...]
Where are you from anyway?
no subject
I get that sometimes.
[ Don't sound so surprised, Daisy. He's not just a pretty face. ]
Originally? Riverside, Iowa, Earth. Certainly not the most exciting place out there.
no subject
[That is a lot more surprising than him being smart.]
What year were you born in?
no subject
[ He smiles at her with amusement, tilting his head. ]
2233. But I was born in deep space, to be fair. On an emergency medical shuttle.
no subject
[Time travel wasn't a foreign concept to her anymore, but it was still hard to wrap her mind around what life was like in the 2200s.]
So your parents also worked in space?
no subject
[ It's all mostly 21st century, some earlier and others later. Jim is a whole two centuries after that. ]
Yeah, [ He nods. ] Both Starfleet officers. My father was Lieutenant Commander and First Officer on board the USS Kelvin. My mother was also one of the science officers on board there, nowadays she still leads various scientific missions to other planets and moons, though she hasn't been integrated into any ship crew. She just likes to hop around— kinda like me, I guess.
