WHO: Anyone who wants to come!
WHAT: Cyril plans a surprise party for Sam and Kirk
WHEN: This Saturday
WHERE: Sam and Kirk's home
NOTES: This is the party Cyril started planning here. I'm going to include two header comments for prep before the party, and for Kirk and Sam to come home so everyone can enjoy the 'Surprise!' moment, otherwise, please treat this like a normal mingle post, put in your characters enjoying the party and tag around!

Cyril was pleased with how many had wanted to help with this party. Christine had offered to distract both Kirk and Sam. Adasse had put together some tasty potatoes. Korrin had arrived to help arrange furniture to use the space better for a crowd and had brought spiced wine and sweets. Anders had helped with decorations.

They had done well, even with the food shortage, and the house smelled inviting thanks the the work of everyone coming together.

Sam huffs lightly at the steal, giving Jim a look as he shakes his head lightly, though his clear amusement overrides the fake disbelief at the man's actions. It honestly wasn't enough, but they were currently busy. Hopefully it would tie Jim over for a bit.

With the conversation changing - and hearing food being ordered - Sam silently signals that he's taking a break, mostly by half sitting on the edge of the desk he had been pushing. "So... you buy a bunch of pieces? And do you have to pick it up as well?"

Sustenance, thank god, and it couldn't get here fast enough. His attention returned to the questions at hand, wondering how it was he had come to be explaining flat-packing to Thedosians. Did that violate the Prime Directive? Most likely. But he was in to deep now to turn back.

"Well, technically yes, but it's easier for some than others, and you need to have a few tools. They come with instructions in their boxes," Kirk explained. "And no, the pieces come all together. You can go pick it up at a store, if you want, but stores will also ship the box right to you as well. It's just whatever works for you. It's a quite popular method - it allows people to afford nicely designed furniture for fractions of the cost."

Christine just shakes her head in disbelief. Imagine if the same held true for other things. Anyone could be a blacksmith like Sam; they just needed to have the metal and tools mailed to them, as well as the easy-to-build forge. Anyone could be a healer; they just needed a potions kit and instructions sent to them. That's how this all sounds to Christine. Rather than being a convenience, it sounds like a way to put skilled people out of work.

"Well, come sit down and have some tea while we wait for the food to arrive."
