godspeed, all the bakers at dawn

[So that was. Bad. That was all really bad and now the group's down by four and while there are some things that really ought to be discussed, probably, immediately after that cavalcade of misfortune is not the time to do it. So everyone should probably disperse a bit? Do whatever it is they're going to do tonight. Breathe, decompress, shower (alone, Ibara, we are all doing that alone). Or just watch the roombas do their thing in here; it matters reasonably little in the end.

For what it's worth, Garista is in that later camp; he doesn't seem too inclined to sleep, maybe he'll do that later, but for the time being he's just going to watch the robots as they go about their business in the kitchen. Once it's cleared out a bit...

Well, he's not Atra, but he's lived alone for a while. Basic cooking isn't completely beyond him.

He's not really accustomed to doing a lot of cooking, mind you, and after some time has passed he's created, like. The sort of soup that's going to keep you alive and not kill you and actually be pretty decent if you're not overly picky, but is really just 20% actual ability to cook and 80% "I have hands and can throw things in a pot and by god, I'm in the right mood to do that." If you're not into whatever kind of...irritation soup he's got going on here, there's also an amount of strong tea that only happens as a result of sheer, unbridled neuroticism? Whatever. If you feel picky, do something about it yourself.

He's not offended if you people would prefer to be alone. Notes under doors for all of you, though, in the event that you don't.

At least try to eat something and get whatever you need to out of your system. The cafeteria has been cleaned in the event that you don't feel like being by yourself.

Don't do anything ill-advised. We'll work through it.

So there's that.]

Yes. The timing of it was... certainly not the best, but gatherings like that are a good way to check in on everyone. While I doubt everyone will always attend, it would be good to hold more of them.

[Shame our chef is dead... who's going to cook for these things now??? Garista, your soup may have to save us........]

[It's fine, we'll improvise]

Perhaps without alcohol, this time. I know humans often drink when stressed, but it can be done more safely.

I suppose I can understand why one might desire a drink, [said like he has never had a drink in his goddamn life (he probably hasn't)] but that seems like a dreadful idea in our current situation.

I cannot understand.

[Which...well, he can't, and that's the end of it.]

But it does seem like a bad idea.

[Humans are weird, Data, don't worry about it.]

I doubt anyone will be eager to try that again, considering the poor timing of the party.

[Hopefully no one here is that stupid. Right??]

[Well, there's other group activities.]

Are you familiar with the game of poker?

[...omg data why are you so cute.]

I am, yes, though I can't say I'm very good at it. Apparently my expression makes it very clear what I have in my hand.

I wonder if the others would enjoy some sort of game night like that, though? It might be nice.

We have a weekly poker night on the Enterprise. I am told that I have very few tells.

[Which, like. He's probably terrifying at poker.]

I have often simulated poker games with interesting historical figures as well. I find the game offers a unique form of insight into the behavior of others. [So. You know. It could be fun, and maybe they could do some people-watching.]

[data casually destroying his coworkers at poker..... yeah, that absolutely scans.]

You have the ability to do that? How fascinating...

[..........what if he played poker with lordgenome— uhhh anyway.]

That is a very good point, Data. I think it would be an excellent idea.

It requires the use of a holodeck. They are still somewhat experimental technology.

[I have to believe this, it tries to kill them like every four episodes]

Good. That will be an excellent party activity.

[maybe that's part of its intended function!! keeps things lively around the ship— no.]

I agree. Thank you for suggesting it, Data.
