Something beautiful happens in this world [Open]

Who: Deputy Pratt and YOU!
What: Cake decorating, showing off his artistic prowess, shovel knight time
When: Later half of January
Where:Sand Dollars, the Library, Upper Deck
Warnings: None! (Well that's rare for him)


1. Sand Dollars
Pratt has completed his scientific research (having Sharky eat various cupcakes while naked) and has taken actual notes which are in the little notepad next to him while he sits at a table in Sand Dollars. He has one of the plastic trays from the buffet and has assembled a circle of cupcakes onto it to resemble a cake and is using a plastic butter knife to spread the frosting around so it looks like it's all one piece.

The wrappers from all of them are on the table nearby, along with some colorful other cupcakes that he's going to scoop the frosting off of in order to write out a message on this cake.

Yes, he is making the Captain a "Congrats on the Sex" cake. Sure it's been a few weeks but his memory is trash okay. He's trying.

2. The Library
Well, the binder is gone, which sucks because Pratt has already forgotten 80% of the contents. He assumes one of those people obsessed with blowing the place up stole it. So he will add his contribution to its recovery.

In its place is a Serena Eterna spiral notebook with a ship on the front, the ship is crossed out and instead there's a reproduction of Ryan's original cat drawing of Guatauva, but every page afterwards also has a cat drawing. He has faithfully recreated every cat internet meme he can think of. There's space above and below to make them into ship-centric memes. So have at.

His drawings look like this because I'm not going to draw 30 cat memes.

3. Deck
Pratt picked up the best package from home he's ever gotten. It was huge heavy and when he unwrapped it he squealed like a school girl because he's so damn excited. Friday is his favorite person for the next few hours because he has his shovel launcher now. Which is exactly what it sounds like, it is a rocket launcher, that shoots shovels.

He has a pile of shovels next to him, as he stands on the deck, aiming at the hull of the ship and then KUHTHUWNK the thing embeds itself into the metal siding and Pratt straight up cackles. Oh this is fantastic.

On the other side of him is his Christmas present he never opened which is 99 cans of Pabst in an absurdly long box and he's about to have the best day. Drink some beer, launch some shovels, spend way too long prying shovels out of the ship to do it again.

Montana's finest, right here.

4. Wildcard
Hit me with anything. He's always in the buffet or arcade or around the deck doing random patrols.

Sure, what can I trade you for one? I've got cinnamon or caramel coffee from my homeworld, elderberry tea, fruit preserves, fancy floral soaps and lotions... [This is Ari Tayrey being a Tradeliner. No such thing as a gift, and she doesn't want to owe him.]

I wonder why it's 99 and not a round hundred. If they were bottles, I'd say it was account of the song, and we should find a wall to put them on. [Yes, Crichton taught her that song, and yes, they sang the whole thing]

I've really never seen a weapon anything like it. Don't the shovels get stuck, embedded deep in the target? Actually, isn't reloading shovels a pain? [She's still grinning though. Pain or not, it's clear she loves the idea.]

[Ari grins.] This is going to be the best caramel coffee you've ever tried, then. I used to have it imported from my homeworld, even when I was down the other end of the lines and still on a trainee's salary. [This may prove more that Arilanna Tayrey is very fussy about her coffee than anything else, but she means well.

She picks up a beer and cracks it open, before taking an enthusiastic swig.]
This is pretty good! So how many cans have you got left now? You've got to be keeping track. In case any musical opportunities present themselves.

[She's still staring at the shovel embedded in the ship, too.] If I went planetside and one of my people got taken out with one of those, I guess it'd be fairly intimidating. Make the enemy seem unpredictable, at least. Can I try pulling that one out?
