Prompt

James II of England decided to go straight-edge. He buries packages of white powder in a hole in the space station's kitchen and plants a Christmas tree on top of it.

Someone who is straight edge has a bold black X written on the backs of their hands.

James II of England is portrayed as a stately 17th-century monarch with long, dark, wavy hair framing a noble face. He wears a neatly trimmed mustache and a small pointed beard, giving him an air of gravitas. His clothing reflects the opulence of the Restoration court — a richly embroidered velvet doublet with gold thread and jeweled buttons, voluminous lace cuffs, and a white cravat of fine linen cascading at his neck. Over his shoulders drapes a luxurious silk sash of the Order of the Garter, often paired with a deep red or royal blue cloak lined in ermine. Polished armor or ornate ribbons complete his attire, symbolizing both regal authority and martial prowess.

A Christmas tree stands tall and fragrant, its evergreen branches draped with twinkling lights, shimmering ornaments, and strands of tinsel. At the top, a star or angel glows softly, casting warmth over the scene. Beneath its boughs, wrapped gifts add splashes of color, completing the festive, joyful centerpiece of the holiday season.

Background: the kitchen of a futuristic international space station is sleek, compact, and brilliantly efficient, designed to make the most of every inch in zero gravity. Smooth metallic panels line the walls, glowing softly with embedded LED strips that shift hues to simulate daylight. Transparent food dispensers and vacuum-sealed compartments hold neatly labeled meals from around the world, while robotic arms and magnetic utensils assist astronauts as they prepare their floating dishes. A central dining module features tethered seats and trays, where crew members from different nations gather to share meals, laughter, and the quiet hum of the stars beyond the window.
