[ a few seconds pass before the video comes on; and there's oliver, seated behind a desk, light catching on the badge that marks his uniform. it isn't a tailored suit or green leather for once. his eyebrows furrow as the phone is adjusted, centering the view, before he releases a breath, corners of his mouth tugging upwards ]

Considering I used to be the mayor back home, you might think I would be better at this. Just a little rusty so bear with me.

[ background noise filters in; people coming and going, indistinct conversations, and he's already regretting trying to do this at work ]

So, Cadelle, what I'd like to offer is an invitation. There's a large number among us who are away from their loved ones and familiar settings. Some may have even considered forgetting about the holidays all together.

Which is why the police department has agreed to sponsor a Thanksgiving dinner. We're a community, we've been through...interesting things together since arriving, and we deserve a day to just enjoy each other's company and share a meal. We'll be renting out a building to accommodate however many people decide to join us.

If you'd like to volunteer, we can use help getting everything set up.

Dude, seriously? You know Kara's going to punch you if you call her fat. And I'll take her side, so there.

[will he ever get used to oliver messing with him? our survey says XXX]

I've seen Kara out of the suit, so she's free from scrutiny.

[ judging from the look on his face, he may have just realized he'll still be getting punched ]

You're free to use the salmon ladder though, Barry. That should do the trick.

...yeah, you’re going to die. RIP Oliver Queen, it was good to know you.

[you did just talk about kara naked. on an open network post.]

Also, the salmon ladder is too slow. I’ll pass.
