Time for a big ol' Nexus Block party

[sumarusfinest]

On a sleepy summer morning a wonderful smell begins to waft throughout the Nexus. For those familiar with this place there can only be one explanation but for those new faces to the nexus this may be a strange thing: seeing so many people flocking toward the sweet and savory scents perfuming the Nexus.

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several carafes of coffee, a myriad of pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

Meet and Greet

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is. It's always satisfying to put one of these on and see the throngs of different people stuck in line together to get their food and find a place to sit among the tables and couches nearby.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? I've got more than enough here for everyone so please mingle among yourselves or feel free to ask me anything you'd like."


((OOC: This thread is ALL ABOUT threadjacking and hopping. I encourage folks to tag on each other's comments and mingle rather than to reply only to me. This is a huge opportunity to have your characters interact with people they wouldn't have talked to before. Branch out! Meet new people! Scheme new schemes! Steal the last chocolate croissant!))

If it makes Spock happy to dote on him a bit, Jim is not going to object. They've wasted too much time over the years to spend this precious second chance butting heads over matters of ego. And besides, iced coffee does sound appealing, given this weather. "I wouldn't say no to one."

Perhaps its for the best that their bickering has turned as soft as the rest of them. They did not always disagree so lightly, nor acquiesce as quickly. Spock shifts his food so it will be out of the way and slips Jim the smallest of smiles before he ambles off back toward the food and drinks tables and carts.

When he comes back it will be with a blissfully cold drink for Jim.

"Where shall we explore today, Jim?"

They've mellowed in their old ages, it seems, but that doesn't bother Jim as much as it once did. Riding off into the sunset may have closed the chapter on their golden years in Starfleet, but the story isn't over, and Jim feels they deserve a happy ending. They've earned the hell out of one.

"Thank you, Spock." The iced coffee is perfect, just how he likes it; he hadn't expected anything less. The Vulcan's question draws a smile out of him easily enough. "We could see if there's a live theater around here somewhere. It's been a while since I've seen a stage production of anything."

The weather may be ideal for Spock to wander about but it is far too hot for Jim to be outdoors for any extended period of time. Even with a hat to block the sun (a garment Jim has always avoided wearing whenever possible no matter how illogical the decision) the heat is worrisome.

Spock inclines his head to show he is listening while he methodically eats the food he's selected for himself.

"That would be satisfactory. I cannot place the last time I watched such a performance." It was probably with Jim, and that says quite a bit about the time involved.
