A couple of weeks ago, I told people we'd do thanksgiving, but we'd do it as a home-cooking sort of thing. So, people, give me what you want for home cooking and I'll ask the Admiral for it. Simple and easy. From people other places than Earth, we're asking for your stuff too, and as with everything else we'll do our fucking best.

[Private to the Admiral]
Alright. I've given it my best try, but it's not fucking working. Unpair us, and give her to someone nice or something.

[Friends filter]
I've done it. I've unpaired myself from Atia. I need a fucking drink. And a reason not to leave.

[Private to Atia]
It's done.

Hoffman gave me some recipes. And if you could add the makings of a mince pie to the list, I'd be terribly grateful.

How are you doing, post-Atia?

Private

[yourunichase]

Mine pie stuff, on it.

It's only been a day. I feel like a fucking failure.

[una_persson]

You're not. Incompatibilities happen. You tried your best.

Private

[yourunichase]

Now I'm wondering if I should have done it sooner.

Private

[una_persson]

Maybe, but you can't be blamed for trying to stick it out, either.

Private

[yourunichase]

I suppose not. Fuck this place sometimes.

How you holding up after the fucking mess of a port.

Re: Private

[una_persson]

I'm all right. I'd have preferred that the damn thing had gone as advertised—who wouldn't?—but the whole thing felt to me more like an absurd inconvenience than anything else.

Private

[yourunichase]

Just one more thing added to the pile of shit.

We better end up in somewhere decent for Christmas. And not turn into elves or snowmen or whatever other ideas he's got going.

Paris notwithstanding, given the circumstances, I think we could all do with a really pleasant holiday, yes.

Private

[yourunichase]

London, maybe. Being as we've hit the other big cities.

Private

[una_persson]

London at Christmas. Yes, that would be lovely, wouldn't it?

Private

[yourunichase]

London or Maui. Or that Eternals place.

[una_persson]

Ooh, tropical destinations. There's a thought. Although probably best not to suggest it too loudly, or else we'll get a desert island rather than a resort with fruity drinks.

I just want a hot cabana boy, Admiral, don't get cocky. [And thus Parker grins for the first time today.]

Re: Private

[una_persson]

Now that's the spirit. Hot cabana attendants of one's preferred gender or genders, fruity drinks, and a lot of nothing to do.

Private

[yourunichase]

Yep. Sounds good to me.

What do you think of combining the lunch and dinner staff on Thursday and eating at three?

Private

[una_persson]

I think that's an excellent idea. I'll do some snacks in case people are peckish around noon, and then of course there will be leftovers after.

Private

[yourunichase]

Sounds good. And I'll grab some wine from the pub too.
