Captain's Log 09 - Rumor Has It
Who: Jim Kirk + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, the Tourist + the Iskaulit
When: Drift Week
[ Video ]
[ Kirk appears on the screen, wearing his customary black t-shirt. He's a simple man at heart, really. If you look behind him, one can see a number of boxes, all seemingly overflowing with similar black shirts. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's happened. A sponsor drop.
He's twirling some bits of paper in front of him, a look somewhere between bemused and annoyed on his face. ]
So I suppose I should thank someone for all the new shirts that just came in. I assume they are to make up for these that I have heard going around. I have to say, some of these are quite inventive, so props to whomever came up with them.
Let's read my favorites, shall we?
One - Kirk likes to twirl in his captain's chair when no one is looking.
Two - Kirk rips his shirts on purpose.
Three - Kirk and Leonard McCoy are in a romantic relationship together.
Four - Kirk is secretly a zombie.
Five - Kirk is actually a virgin.
There is quite a lot to unpack in those, which I assume come from the "viewers". Two of which have me saying - really? Do you know me at all? But I applaud your imaginations, truly.
[ He pushes away from his position of leaning on his desk - at which point his black shirt rips right across the chest. He looks down and sighs, giving his head that little shake of the exasperated when something has happened one to many times in a day. He looks up at the camera and points with his little stubs of paper. ]
Contrary to belief, that was not on purpose. And whoever dropped these - F for quality.
[ And he turns off the video to go change. Sorry guys, no show today. ]
[ Action ]
[ Over the course of the next week or so, it is highly likely one will run into Kirk on either the Tourist or the Iskaulit in some variable form of undress - bet it with an intact shirt, a ripped shirt, or changing into a new one he carried with him at all times. If you have never seen his tattoos before, now's your chance.
Also, for the Tourist, don't mind the ripped up shirts that are beginning to appear in every trash receptacle, and even forming a modest pile just outside his door in one of the emptied boxes. He really has nowhere else to put them. ]

[He's probably in his room, but he's not getting up. ]
Perhaps you shouldn't wear the shirts given to you under dubious pretences.
video;
It's quite dignified, actually. And the chair is comfortable.
[ He sighed. ]
I don't have a lot of choice. I can't find my original ones - they all look the same! So I just keep putting them on and hoping for the best.
video;
I suppose if you were desperate, you could wear the hideous jumpsuit.
Re: video;
You clearly haven't done enough chair twirling in your life, Fenris.
No one is quite that desperate. Or do my shirts tearing offend you so?
[ He's smirking at him as he says it, his eyebrows raised up and something like a smug look settling on his face. ]
video;
[He rolls his eyes, giving soft 'ugh' in response. ]
No, but there are clogging up all the waste bins.
Re: video;
I've begun putting them in boxes at least. I suppose we could jettison them, if need be. Unless someone has a more creative idea on what to do with torn up shirts.
Maybe we could make them into tiny flags and start some sort of flag sports teams.
... Which suddenly makes me wonder if the individual ships have personal marks. Do they?
video;
[Fenris you have been here for over two fucking years. ]
You mean capture the flag? Or...paint ball?
video;
[ Kirk's been here a year, they're kind of both sad sacks when it comes to that. ]
Yeah, something like that. Or flag football. We could probably appropriate the obstacle course for the games.
ideo;
I notice this has suddenly become a 'we'.
Re: ideo;
Are you saying you wouldn't want to participate in a competitive sport with the potential for controlled violence?
Video;
Re: Video;
It's a constructive way to let out all the latent rage. It could be fun - ship against ship, or maybe do a league sort of thing.
Video;
Re: Video;
I think if you gave it a try, you would like it. You don't have to kill something to have fun.
Video;
[He's using 'Captain' in that flirty tone again. ]
Re: Video;
[ Oh he likes the Flirty Tony. The Flirty Tone is kind of unfair really, because he likes it so much. ]
Oh, do you know? You'll have to show me sometime, so I can join in.
Video;
Re: Video;
I promise to make it worth your while ~
Video;
Oh, will you now?
Re: Video;
[ He leans in a little closer, his heart thrumming a bit louder. ]
When have I ever not kept my word to you?
Video;
True. You have always been very reliable in that regard.
Re: Video;
[ He bit his lip, just at the corner, ever so slightly, laughing under his breath. Fenris was going to be the death of him... ]
I'm reliable in plenty of other regards too.
Video;
Truly? I cannot say I am all that surprised.
Re: Video;
[ God, he would. Every little death he was given. ]
Hopefully one day I can give you a proper demonstration.
Video;
Perhaps. We never know what the future holds.
