[The transmission opens to a shot of Pepper in the gardens, featuring a wide open area of green that she means to transform in the next 24 hours or so. She honestly a little nervous about making this announcement--it's entirely possible that more of the crew are tired than not, and she certainly can't blame them. They've just been through something pretty trying, and there's the distinct chance that some would rather shut out any hints of the particular holiday coming up rather than celebrate it.
But for those that might, albeit in a less than traditional way, Pepper wants to put something together. She also wants to make her job worth something, and after the whole mess on Emiri, the crew needs a break.]
Good afternoon, Moira crew. I'm Pepper Potts, the Chief Morale Officer on board. For those of you not aware, tomorrow is February 14th. On Earth this is an annual holiday called Valentine's Day, which celebrates romantic partnerships. I'm very aware that most of us are probably tired of being forced into some sort of connection thanks to our recent encounter with Link'd and all that entailed, but I'd still like to put something together to celebrate--not necessarily romance, but friendship and camaraderie as well.
The idea that even so far from home, we're not alone.
[Never mind the murder that's happened among the crew or other rumored attacks. They need something to counter that, otherwise this trip is going to be all the worse.]
With that in mind, I'd like to put together a sort of dinner and dance, or a dinner and enjoy-the-music night, if that's more your speed. It'll be held in the gardens thanks to permission from our caretaker, and everyone is welcome to come, provided you have medical clearance and are not otherwise assigned to some sort of duty. Those of you who are supposed to be in the mess hall are not excused as per the Captains--[oh, and that gets a tight smile; Pepper had tried to get them a night off, but no luck]--but you may trade shifts if you wish to attend.
Of course, since this is all last minute, I need some help as well. [And here she references a list, because what is Pepper Potts without her paperwork?] All Morale staff, if you would please check-in; there's plenty of work to be done, provided you're able. I'd also like to get with whoever is in charge of the mess hall to see what sort of meal can be put together; if nothing else, I'd like a way to serve at least some of dinner out here. If someone or several someones can provide bartending services that would be very helpful, and of course there is setting up before hand and cleaning up afterwards.
I'm also in the market for music, decorations, tables, chairs--pretty much anything you can think of. [Well, she did say this is last minute, right? And unfortunately, Pepper lacks her contact list of vendors from home. She honestly hates going about something like this in such a fashion, no planning, no resources, but it's important--not just for the crew, but for herself.
Otherwise she's going to spend Valentine's and the hours leading up to it focusing on the fact that her boyfriend got impaled, and no one really wants that.]
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts. Hopefully any future events of this nature won't be quite as impromptu, but I think that we can still pull together something good. I'll be in the gardens should anyone want to contact me in person.
Again, thank you.
[And so ends the feed.]
{{ooc: Mingle log to go up tomorrow! And as per the mods, if your character is on mess hall duty and wants to come, you can handwave saying they switched with someone.}}

Re: [VIDEO]
[Oh, count on it. But even if the girl's appearance hadn't been setting off flags, Pepper has still been auditioning every performer she's considered putting in the spotlight. Maya's not going to be an exception, provided they get that far.]
And the same could be said for our available equipment. [Yep, red flag.] We're actually working with very little at the moment. What else might you be looking to use, if you were to perform tomorrow?
[VIDEO]
Although our esteemed hosts saw fit to take away all of my performance clothing when I arrived here.
[She shrugs.]
Guess the thermo could do in a pinch.
Re: [VIDEO]
[Because Pepper is more than certain of what sort of dancing Maya is offering to perform by this point. She truly doesn't want to make Maya feel like she's being looked down upon because of her profession—but at the same time, stripping isn't quite appropriate for the event she's planning.]
When I mentioned dancing, I was thinking of something a little less—exotic, than what I believe you're implying. [She manages a small smile, polite if still forced.] Although I do appreciate the offer. The idea is to encourage people to dance themselves, for fun.
[VIDEO]
[Maya's been called many things in her life. "Exotic" doesn't even make the top ten. She's only exotic in the sense that she's a human among Twi'leks but...well, this woman is human too.
At least, she looks human.
But fine. She'd love to earn some extra, but she's hardly going to push the matter.]
You mean...social dancing?
Re: [VIDEO]
Yes, exactly. Social dancing. [Clothes-on social dancing, especially since Pepper knows there's going to be children present.] You're more than welcome to attend as a guest.
[VIDEO]
[She really doesn't know. She doesn't exactly come from the best corners of the galaxy.]
How do you learn it?
Re: [VIDEO]
[Well. Maya likely has a well-developed sense of rhythm. She shouldn't need more than a few minutes of time to learn it.]
I'm still getting things organized, but if you'd like, I can show it to you.
[VIDEO]
[Which is a bit of a luxury, frankly. Her life doesn't afford her much time to indulge in her curiosity.]
Re: [VIDEO]
[Curiosity is a good thing, and something more natural in Pepper's world. It doesn't even feel right to call the offer an opportunity for indulgence, given how simple this is.]
[VIDEO]
Perhaps we could meet at some point?
