Personal Log #12 - Planning [Video]

[Spock fiddles with the journal for a moment, making certain that the message is broadcast to everyone but Nico Robin.]

Greetings and salutations everyone. It is my hope that everyone has recovered from the latest Malnosso experiment, as from what I heard from others, I do not envy your experiences.
At this time, I find myself with a request for those of you who are familiar with Miss Nico Robin. It has come to my attention that due to recent events, Miss Robin's emotional disposition has greatly suffered, and it is my wish to see it improved. From what I understand of various cultural habits, it is common to utilize various festive activities to improve emotional morale. These activities should consist of conditions that are agreeable to Miss Robin, so if there is anyone who is aware of what Miss Robin enjoys, please inform me as soon as you can.
I am asking for assistance in planning this gathering... I believe the proper term is 'party'? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as well as refraining from telling Miss Robin about this.
The time and location for this gathering will soon be disclosed.

[Spock lifts his hand in a Ta'al.]
Peace and long life.

Basically that big long speech before you finally asked for the help. You're lucky I know you the way I do, since I actually understood it. You want help cheering up a friend, and you think having a party is the way to go.

Though, you know, you didn't exactly say what "emotional disposition" she was in.

I implied that her emotional disposition was a negative one Captain. As for the reason, that is entirely her business, and information that I will not disclose at this time.

Are you.... offering your assistance?
[Really?]

Right, and "negative" means a lot of things, Spock. It's about as ambiguous as you can get.

But yeah, sure. I don't really know her, but if you give me some basics I think I can help hammer something out.

If you know me as well as you claim you do, then you are aware of how much I do not enjoy impeding on someone's privacy. This was difficult enough as it is.

Do you know a Mister Marco?

Come on, Spock, lighten up. You're trying to cheer her up, that's a good thing. I mean, assuming you aren't going to make her burst into tears from this either.

Hmm, don't think so. What's he look like? Or sound like, maybe. Could have heard him over the journal.

I was merely checking to see if we have any common ground for Miss Robin. It seems that we do not... however, your assistance would be invaluable Captain.

Would you happen to have a location in mind? I originally thought our home would suffice, but would be inadequate depending on how many people attend... and the weather is getting rather cold for it to be held out of doors.

Well, that kind of depends. If we do it outside during the day, it might not be so bad. But if you want to do it at night, yeah, it might get a bit to cold....

Maybe we could talk to some of the business owners ask if we can use their spaces? Some of them should be big enough to host a party. One of the cafes or Good Spirits maybe...

Or perhaps the library?

[Spock wasn't joking. At all.]

_{[ He knows he's not joking, and that's the sad part. ]}

Do you want people to talk to each other? Then no. Libraries are not where parties are held.

What about the Dome? I could program a room suited to her tastes?
[He tacks a question on the end of that, because he really wants Jim's opinion.]

Hmmm, yeah, that could work. We'd have to make sure that everyone know we're taking the rooms, but that's actually not a bad idea. Just have to also make sure no one decides to pull something and mess with the sim.

Captain... Jim....

I believe I made a mistake. Perhaps it is irreparable.

_{[ Even with Spock's logical and somewhat pessimistic attitude, this
didn't sound like him either. He felt that twinge of worry down the line of
their bond, and his face grew serious. ]}

What's wrong Spock? Come on, you can tell me.

[The Vulcan suddenly looks nervous.]

I did not think... Jim, I did not lock the information from Robin. I believe she is quite upset that revealed her emotional disposition to the public.

Oh jesus...

_{[ He sighed, and really should have thought about it, but yeah this
was a consideration. Spock hadn't said why she was upset, but clearly it
wasn't something she felt like discussing openly if she was having this
reaction. ]}

Well, I don't blame you for trying to make her feel better, and I give you credit for not saying what she's upset about. But not everyone enjoys talking about what's bothering them openly either, especially if it's really personal to them. If she's upset, you should apologize to her. I'm sure she has to realize you were just trying to make her feel better.

Do you believe that something as simple as an apology will suffice? I fear that it will not be enough.

[Yeah, Spock is starting to feel bad.]

It's all you really can do Spock. You apologize, and then you just have to let her work the rest out. I think your heart was in the right place, but... we all make mistakes.

This has come at a rather... inopportune time, considering the trial that we both faced together recently.
[She was his wife for crying out loud. He should have learned something. Though really, this wouldn't be made easier, no matter when it happened.]

I see. I must admit, I am ...nervous. [Not something he feels often.]

It's all you can do.

_{[ He knew the wife feeling. Katniss had almost been his, and at times
those feelings still cropped up. ]}

You can't control how other people react or feel, Spock. You just have to roll with it.

[Spock hesitates....]

Should the party... still take place? Or should I leave that up to her discretion?

See how she feels about it first. She may come around to the idea, but having it anyway will just piss her off more.

Agreed.

I will... speak with her.

[Spock hesitates...]

You never did tell me of your experience with Miss Katniss. [Because that has totally been on Spock's mind.]

_{[ He nearly choked. ]}

What? Why is that coming up?!

I have told you of my experiences, is not reciprocation part of friendship?

[smirk.]

You told me squat about your experiences!
