Who: Simon Tam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Anywhere
When: July 7th

[Simon has an expression of mild disgust on his face as he turns the camera on, examining a bottle of soda.]

Has anybody else gotten some personalized cola bottles from the sponsors? I mean, they are clearly meant for me, but my name is misspelled on a few of them, and then... there's this one.

[Simon turns it toward the camera: it has the infamous "you tried" star... with Simon's face on it.]

I got a gold star for... what? Dissecting sentient creatures? Playing my part like a good television star? Being myself? Did I fail at whatever I tried to do?

[[OOC NOTE: This was just a fun idea I had- in the vein of Share A Coke bottles, the sponsors have decided to gift Fleet members with their own personalized bottles of soda. Except their names won't necessarily be spelled correctly, or the soda will have weird flavors, or be loaded with caffiene- be creative!]]

[Beverly's just... laughing. Staring at her bottle and laughing. Probably more than this actually warrants, but she needs something to laugh at, with everything else that's been going on. She turns the label towards the camera so Simon can see "THE CRUSHER" written in big, aggressive, capital letters, like something you'd see on at a monster truck rally or a wrestling match. Biting the insides of her cheeks to keep from laughing more, she finally stops long enough to make a comment.]

I don't know, I quite like mine. Think maybe I missed my calling in life.

[Simon laughs aloud at that.]

It definitely suits your personality.

[dancingmd]

I certainly thought so. Strikes fear into my enemy's hearts and all that.

Perhaps you should design a banner to go with it. Or compose a song.

[dancingmd]

Oooh yes! [She points excitedly at Simon.] A good war song! Everyone needs one of those, don't you think?

[pompous_today]

The Ballad of the Crusher. We must list your heroic deeds first.

[dancingmd]

Heroic deeds, hmm? Does either going for a whole month without caffeine or never once getting bitten by my friend's cat count?

[You think she's joking about the latter one, Simon, but you have not met Spot.]

[pompous_today]

[Simon grins.]

I'd say the caffiene probably does- being a doctor, you probably found it hard to do without. As for the bite, it depends on the cat, I think.

[dancingmd]

Spot's a terror. Number one cause of injury on the Enterprise, I'd say.

[pompous_today]

Really? That must have been one vicious cat.

[dancingmd]

Don't worry, I'm exaggerating

...only a little, though.

[pompous_today]

It would have made for a good security officer on one of our ships, don't you think?

[dancingmd]

Oh definitely. She'd have us all whipped into shape in no time.

[pompous_today]

Not to mention gotten some good ratings from cat lovers, no doubt.

[dancingmd]

Oh no, Slay and Alicia better watch out for the competition.

[pompous_today]

Or maybe the more the merrier- they would all get great ratings.

[dancingmd]

It's true! Who doesn't love cats?

[Besides you know, Will. But Will is clearly wrong. Cats are great!]
