Christmas gifts
Dec. 26th, 2016 11:06 pmOh, what not on Earth?! It's that time of year in the bar?
This is what happens when an ensign gets caught quite unawares by the unsynching of interdimensional timelines. AGAIN. Oh well, nothing for it. Ignoring the holiday is not happening, but none of the gifts Sariel comes up with are all that extravagant, say sorry.
Will Scarlett, Ellen Park, River Tam, Demeter and Charles Xavier all get tins of tea this year. Will's is black currant, Ellen's is jasmine, Demeter's is orange, River's is green, and Charles's is Earl Gray (Sariel is not hiding her momentary smile over that one, either.)
Turanga Leela and Captain Kirk get, as has become a full-fledged tradition by now, a pound of rather good Caribbean coffee each. It really does beat what's kept vacuum sealed in storage or dished out by a replicator, truly.
Yrael's gift takes a brief trip back to the Enterprise and, thankfully, a return through a momentarily stable door. Whew. A recording of the latest ship's concert isn't too difficult for Bar to convert from twenty-fourth century audio to something fitting the music player the notcat uses. The catnip dynamite stick Bar suggests as she's passing back the converted disc... Well. the shape takes some explanation, but then a giggly Sariel is all for it.
Dale Harding... Has he been here since last year? Will he be here in future? There's enough newly added to his tab to cover a reasonable meal if the answer to the question of the future is yes. That's not all that matters, but it's one important thing that does, at least.
