[OPEN MINGLE] So long, and good movie night.
CHARACTERS: Everyone! Top level away!
LOCATION: The Mess Hall
DATE: Sometime after the mission, but before the main festive station log.
CONTENT: Movie Night! Probably the last one ever. What the hell, guys. Also, birthdays, christmas tree ornament making, and robot fish. And food from... particular places.
WARNINGS: None! People will mark anything accordingly.
So, nearly the end of the road, huh? It's crazy how fast things have gone. Or how slow. Or both? Either way,
Newt plans this one like it's maybe the last one — like, sure, his movie night thing was kinda stupid. Dorky. Whatever you wanna call it. But the idea of it being the last one kind of gets him all... choked up? In private, anyway. He's not about to get all weepy about the impending loss of his teammates when they all (probably) head home and (maybe) forget each other.
But that's something to think about later.
For now — movies and food, as the good fucking lord baby Jesus intended in December. Well, mostly. Newt isn't against launching into a long history lesson on paganism and all of the pitfalls of commercialized Christmas. Please, don't let him fall down that rabbit hole. Instead, enjoy the pretty lights that are strung up, leading into the mess hall. Probably courtesy of Yzak, honestly, because Newt isn't that coordinated when it comes to pretty colors and decor.
Onto the important stuff first! There are... four — yes four! — birthdays they're going to each be singing for.
Yes, all four get their own song. It'll start up the moment the last song is done, and each of the birthday kiddos get a little cake to go with it.
Finn, Natasha, Chishiya, Alina... here is what happens when you leave this guy in charge of getting cakes.
Make sure you give them all presents. We should enjoy the birthdays we've got to celebrate, right? And with cake comes food. But not just any food, no. There is a metric megaton of food at this movie night; a banquet, even, and some of you may find the food... oddly familiar? But not from your world, no. These all appear to be samplings of different foods from... different missions. Yes, from Badrock snake to Viveca's world and their questionable tablets, every single planet or universe is accounted for. Enjoy, guys. Or don't, because some of the food is kinda weird.
The movies tonight are much more feelgood, save for the, uh... Romeo + Juliet option that someone had recommended. Honestly, 8 Crazy Nights had been on the cutting room floor for the holidays, but who doesn't love an excuse to watch a bunch of muppets reenact the ye old tale of Ebenezer Scrooge?
And near the projector, there is also a very pleasant-looking white tree, glowing with a prism of many colors. And next to that, there's a collection of arts and crafts tools at one's disposal. Feel free to create an ornament, team; it can be as stupid or as dead serious as you want. Whatever the case, this poor pagan-inspired tree is too naked, and that's sad.
(And yes, in case you're wondering — Newt did, in fact, make that little alien ornament in the examples. Of course.)
There's one final offering that Newt has, in the form of what is... some kind of large fish tank? Yes, there's a large aquarium in the corridor, just outside of the mess hall, where there are clearly little... robotic fish swimming around? More studious members of the team may have noticed him feverishly building these little suckers the last... half a year? Maybe more? He's been busy either way. Newton wastes no time pointing out the one that was created based off you, either.
Feel free to stop by, so that he can show off the little toy fish (or other critter of the sea) that is in dedication to his teammates. (No, really, comment here and you'll get a specially made fish.)
Happy Holidays, and here's to the last mission, guys. Whatever it's gonna be.
The tree so far:
