[Happy V-Day, everyone! Sam has been unfortunately busy this weekend. You know, working at the bars, getting convinced by certain stoner semi-angels to partake in a quick bar-hop. Or three. Or five. Also, what the fuck was in that Space Race drink? Because he felt just fine after the first hour, but then he went down like a sack of potatoes.

The black screen leaves a lot to the imagination, so far. Sam gives a tired, hungover groan and slaps around for the built-in alarm he'd set in the communications device, which is probably murderous on your guys' ears at first. When he grabs for it and peers to look at the time listed, the broadcast gives a good look at him in all of his glory -- who knew someone could have so many hickeys at once?]

Wha...

[He stares up at the ceiling, blinking wearily. This isn't... the ship...

But surely nothing crazy happened, he thinks. Just drank a little too much. He's usually super chaste and all, and it's not like he'd...

And then three blue arms reach out from the right side of the bed, curling over his chest.]

Awake already, gangly human...?

[And another copper-skinned arm reaches to pet his hair from his left. A few interesting memories resurface from the night before.]

Surprisingly durable to make up for your poor tolerance to alcohol, mmhmm.

[Sam's eyes widen rather comedically as he shoots up from the bed, dropping the video feed flat on its face again. The sounds of him shuffling back sounds close to the microphone, and there are quite a few giggling ladies, and it really makes you wonder how many are actually fitting in that bed. Judging from the way Sam is tripping over his words, he's probably floundering. Let your imaginations be your guide.]

Jesus -- what the -- I, um, sorry. I -- Wow, right. I should, should really be -- ohmygod, uh. You guys were all great, seriously, but I... Have a shift in three hours... I should...!!

[More giggling at the sound of rustling pants.]

Wow, Sam, you've gone so red; I didn't know humans could change colors! What a fascinating species.

[One of the human girls in the crowd laughs aloud.] Nah, he just goes from animal to nervous school boy in one morning flat.

Thank you for your time, ladies--

Don't you want to stay for breakfast? I know how to make pancakes!

That's really nice but--[He's just about now realizing that the feed is going, and he's too distracted to notice that he's about to trip right over someone's body on the floor.]--OOF!!

[The video THUDS, pointing at a wall. This is the most PG feed detailing a NC-17 night ever. A familiar voice -- the source of Sam's tripping -- smacks his lips while a background cacophony of the gals and guys littered around the room gossip and giggle and exchange ship names. Sam is dumbstruck.]

How many people are there?!

Ah. Morning, Sam.

Cas!?

Slow your roll, buddy, there's plenty of time for round two and three--

Ugh... Not this again...

--or four or five...

M'gonna be sick...... What was in that Space Racer...

[This is the worst.

Happy Valentine's Day.]

.... Thanks. I guess.

[... He'd introduce himself, but it's a weird time to do that.

So 'thanks' is good enough. Even if he sounds not that thankful.]

[universal_charm]

Look, all I'm saying is, this could be a lot worse. Just chalk it up to a good time and don't think to hard on it, man.

Besides, I've bet you made a lot of people jealous this morning too.

_{[ He grinned. ]}

Silver lining to everything, right?

[collegedropout]

Jealous isn't the word I'd use, but... okay. Silver lining.

I'll. Try to remember that.

_{[ You can be a half full or a half empty kind of guy. Kirk tries to be the former. ]}

By the way - what exactly is a Space Racer? I just got here, so I'm not all the way caught up with the local delicacies.

[collegedropout]

It's a mistake in a bottle.

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

_{[ Glances again at the ladies in the background. Really, Sam? Their definitions of a mistake are very different. ]}

Right. So, just to be sure - you don't need help back to your ship?

_{[ Because, as much as he enjoys teasing, if Sam was actually having trouble he would come and help. Doesn't matter than he doesn't know his name or practically anything about him, someone in trouble was someone in trouble. ]}

[collegedropout]

... I'll be fine.

[He clears his throat. But then, more genuine:]

Thanks.

[Because that's... a nice thing to suggest, anyway.

Even if he wants to crawl under a rock.]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

_{[ They've all been there buddy, it's okay. ]}

I'm Jim Kirk, by the way. You know, in case you change your mind.

[collegedropout]

Jim Kirk.

[......................................

...........................................wow ok]

I'm Sam.

[No wonder you're so chill about alien sex.]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Yes, that's right. Captain U.S.S. Enterprise.

_{[ Why does everyone keep having these weird reactions to his name? ]}

Good to meet you too, Sam. If they have extra pancakes, I am willing to buy a few off you by the way.

_{[ He really likes pancakes. Childhood happiness are in those things. ]}

[collegedropout]

Yeah? I'll put a special request in to the chef, then.

[Might as well, since he's here.

Fuck it, as they say.]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Much appreciated. A man can only take so much reconstituted food.

[collegedropout]

[There's no other response, but...




Expect a nice six-armed alien to drop off pancakes for you later, sir.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ And all of this is perfectly normal to him. He owes you Sam! ]}
