Everyone raise your glasses!

When; Evening of Tuesday, August 13th
Rating; PG-13, at best. Angela's on her best behavior tonight.
Characters; It's Ginny's birthday party and everybody Ginny knows was invited. Let's handwave that and just show up. BTW, IT'S BLACK TIE. PUT ON YOUR SUITS, BOYS.
Summary; There's no legal drinking age in the City, but who says we can't party like there was one anyway?
Log;

This party was four years coming. The restaurant has set aside a large room just for this event and on short notice too. The food is plentiful and of various cuisines, with even a large selection of vegetarian options for those who prefer that. But of course, there is more alcohol than one has ever seen because Angela knows the people she invited and knows quite a few of them have liquor in their veins instead of blood. Rule of thumb: more liquid than solids every time.

Everything's set and ready for the birthday girl to make her appearance, so for the time being, Angela's flitting around the place dressed in more subdued colors than usual, choosing black because no one gets to stand out more than Ginny tonight, and socializing with the few guests that have shown up already.

Sadly, there are no strippers. Ginny nixed that one hard.

[ kathryn arches an eyebrow in a very vulcan like fashion at that "we don't get along" comment, but her expression otherwise remains impassive. with the exception of sharing what khan did in her timeline with kirk and making the offhand confirmation here and there in regards to their counterparts having done the same thing in her timeline as they did in theirs, she hasn't said a word to any of them about what became of any of them. even if she would like to see the look on mccoy's face were she to tell him he's still alive and kicking in 2375, an admiral and still driving everyone at starfleet medical batty.

there's a lot of stubborn at this table with the man who refuses to die and the woman who told the borg collective to sit down, shut up, and do things her way.

she chuckles, her lips curling upward slightly. ] I suppose that's something else he and I have in common. [ taking failure as a challenge to not only succeed, but excel at succeeding. kathryn shakes her head. ] You know, I never realized how much I was like James Kirk. I always thought that Picard [ not that you know who that is, bones, unless you're familiar with his family's winery ] or Riker would take the cake on Kirk similarities, not an eager, ambitious ex science officer.

[ boldly going where no one's gone before. she tells herself that on bad days, when her guilt's eating away at her and threatening to cast her back into the depths of the void where it nearly swallowed her whole: she's boldly going where nobody in starfleet has gone before, seeing through with one of the core principals of the federation. she did what she had to, she made the right choice, she did what starfleet would have done. that didn't mean she would ever stop feeling bad about it. that guilt would likely haunt her long after she got her crew home. ]

Good. He needs that. [ friendship, the reassurance that someone cares, and not just because he's the captain. ] To be completely honest, I envy him for having that.
