Be My Guest

[losthunter]

Hunter is hosting a few guests at his Nexus apartment tonight. Hunter had been planning this night for awhile, ever since meeting some of the crew members of Jim's ship, getting to know them better, and then telling them about the Nexus. He has been busy planning for the evening, including grocery shopping for some home-made recipes, and finishing some art pieces that will be given as gifts.

Hunter has arranged so that the PINpoint portal is basically connected to his front door. His open concept kitchen and living room will be the first thing that his guests will see, once they arrive through the PINpoint portal. There is a small closet located to the left of the door where they can place any jackets.

The dining room in the living room has been set with all the dining places for his guests. He decided against placecards, since it is more freedom to allow his guests to choose their own seats. On the island in the kitchen is a large plate of vegetarian-friendly appetizers, which features Lavash bread topped with Guacamole and red bell peppers, alongside crescent rolls filled with Jalapeño, mushrooms and asparagus.

The open concept living room immediately flows into Hunter's art studio, where he has a few pieces still being created. There is a large set of French doors that leads out from the living room to an outdoor patio, where there is a rose garden outside. The every-spanning Nexus can be viewed from the patio balcony. Right now, the Nexus is showing the lakeside, where Hunter had first appeared when he had needed support the most.

There are a few closed doors along one wall, one of which that leads to the bathroom, and the other of which leads to Hunter's bedroom.

As Hunter chills some wine, and checks on his main course, he is pretty ready for his guests to arrive. He is feeling excited and happy to be a host.

Comments

McCoy's voice will be the first one that Hunter hears, signaling the arrival of his guests. "And you do this all the time, do you?"

Jim's voice laughs easily, not taking any offense at McCoy's wariness. "Not all the time. It's perfectly safe. Trust me." Of course, he knows that McCoy does, because otherwise the doctor wouldn't have followed him through the transition into the Nexus.

As this isn't an official Starfleet function, none of Hunter's guests have subjected themselves to wearing their dress grays. Jim and McCoy have gone with button-down shirts, Jim in white and McCoy in dark blue, paired with appropriately dark pants. Spock is in black, his Vulcan robes less formal than he'd wear at a diplomatic function, but a small step up from his fellow officers' more casual attire. Uhura stands out among the men, wearing a bright red dress, decorated with African patterns in purple and gold, accented by a spiraling pair of gold earrings.

Jim has been here before once, so he feels more at ease in the apartment, his eyes seeking out Hunter while the other houseguests are still looking around. Fortunately, in a society where travel via technological teleportation is nothing out of the ordinary, it isn't disorienting at all to suddenly find oneself someplace completely different.
