Captain's Log 04 - It's a Rock Party

[universal_charm]

Who: Jim Kirk + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes - either on the Tourist or the Planet (this post will be functioning as a semi-overflow)
When: Nowish

[ Hello, fellow Drifters. Today you shall find one Captain Kirk, currently of the Tourist, smiling into the camera - perhaps a bit to delighted for everyone's comfort, so if you know what's good for you turn off the broadcast now. Or stick around. It's really 50/50 with him some days. He clears his throat, for a moment attempting to look serious outside his obvious delight. ]

So, first things first, some house keeping -

For those who don't know, I'm James Tiberius Kirk, Captain of the Tourist, newly minted a few weeks ago. Please just call me Jim or Kirk, though. Any problems with the Tourist or her crew can be directed to me, or if I am not available you can relay a message to my first mate - Fenris.

[ Let that sink in everyone and then think real hard about if you want to go that route ever. ]

Now, with that out of the way...

[ His face resumes its delight. ]

Since we're all sharing what little treasures we've been getting from the planet we're all on, I thought I would join in the fun.

[ He messes with something off camera, and everyone will be treated to the dulcet tones if the The Beastie Boys. Kirk is bobbing his head and every now and then either strumming an air guitar or beating on air drums.

The song ends and his grin is so very pleased with itself. ]

Words to live by, my fellow Drifters. Words to live by.

_{[ ooc: Inside this post will be a section for continuations of planet mingle threads if we have not already started one somewhere else! Feel free to add one here if I miss yours or if you would like to start one since I'll also be putting up the original starters from the mingle. ]}

You are still so not the boss of me.

[Chloe is still in an absolutely despondent mood and drinking too much after Max's departure, but she can manage a half-joke.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ That's possibly the most teenage reply he has ever gotten to anything ever. ]}

Hmm, paperwork says different, but I admire your rebellious spirit.

[helladoomed]

[She deserves a trophy.]

I am nothing but rebellion spirit.

[And pot.]

[Captain Kirk is playing Beastie Boys on the network.

Holy shit. Just. Holy shit]

Wow, that's one hell of a treasure. That's bordering on fossil there, captain.

_{[ Everyone should appreciate it as much as you, Meg. ]}

It's a classic, miss, classic. That's the term you are looking for.

[angelherding]

[you have no idea how much she appreciates this, being the fountain of pop culture references that she is.

This is the greatest thing ever]

Hey, hey, I said bordering, and with the utmost respect. You don't insult the Beastie Boys.

[ He's not sure if he's amused or embarrassed. ]

Which ones?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Do you mean blown away by this free-spirit rebellious anthem? ]}

All of them, Leto, of course.

Re: video;

[precedented]

[ Not his kind of anthem. ]

My apologies. It's hard to tell with that high pitch.

[Remy didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this.]

Cher... I donno what to say. [Though don't think he hadn't been enjoying the dancing/air instruments performance Kirk had put on.] Didn' really expect ya to know music like this, thought would be well before ya time. At least it's nice to know ya got good taste in music as well as other areas.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Damn right you enjoyed them, Remy. ]}

They're classics in my time. I even have the record player too - back home, that is.

[cajunspice]

I know we come from different times, but still manage to make me feel old when ya put it that way.

[frigidaire]

Did you have to share that? That song must be ancient. Not sure I wanna take lessons from them.

[universal_charm]

Clearly you are not yet mature enough or wise enough to appreciate such things like the classics. A shame, really.

_{[ He's shaking his head oh so sadly at you, Isaac. ]}

[apurrstate]

[Oh my god, Kirk...]

While I appreciate the sentiment in the words...I'll have to admit I'm having a hard time hearing that as music.

[universal_charm]

Give it time, I'm sure you'll come to properly appreciate it.

_{[ Don't you dare judge him when you were just showing off your cat like you gave birth to it. ]}

Good to know the tree has questionable taste in music. [But it is old enough she actually does recognize it as something that came out before the world fell, so it's a little nostalgic even if she's mocking it.]

You made Fenris your first mate? [She sounds skeptical because he's the only one on the Tourist she hasn't met.]

[universal_charm]

Kitty, there is no need to insult the three - especially when its tastes are impeccable.

_{[ Huff huff. ]}

And yes, I did. He's been on the ship longer than anyone else, and I trust him to do what's necessary in a time of crisis. He was the natural, and logical, choice.

Congratulations on your promotion, Captain.

[it had been a surprise to her when her promotion had come about. She still missed JoJo at times but with him had come new crew mates and she'd somehow made the Caprine into a home for herself.]

I am not so sure what to make of your musical tastes, however.

[universal_charm]

Heh, thanks. Feels like I got a bit of myself back.

_{[ He had put in for his, after a talk with Varric who had not actually wanted to be Captain. So it was no surprise, really, except in the fact that Varric had brought up the changing of the guard, so to speak. ]}

They are excellent, Danny, that is what is to be made of them. This group is considered classic in my world.

... Man, that's old.

[It slips out, like he was merely thinking it and accidentally said it out loud.]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Of course it is. It's a classic.

_{[ Duh, Clay. ]}

It's always fascinating to observe what more primitive cultures consider entertainment.

[What is wrong with your planet, Kirk? He would rather listen to the bleating of nerfs, honestly.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Because a genocidal maniac really has any place calling my planet "primitive".
