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. ]}

Again, utmost respect. They still rank pretty high.

Oh yeah? Then who else is on this list of yours?

[universal_charm]

Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Which I realize is actually a song, but it deserves its own listing.

[angelherding]

Whoa, no Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin? Queen deserves two spots on that list, though - so I'll allow it.

[universal_charm]

They are on the list too, I just didn't name them right then. Really, what do you take me for?

[angelherding]

I don't know, some people name some classics and then go off the rails naming some other crap that doesn't belong on a list.

[universal_charm]

We've only just met, but please, have some faith.

[angelherding]

I suppose since you have good taste, I'll try.

[universal_charm]

I suppose that's all I can really ask of somebody.

_{[ Sniff, sniff. ]}

[angelherding]

It's more than I give a lot of people. [because haha, faith] But you're cute, so there you go.

[Meg don't call Captain Kirk cute]

[universal_charm]

Hah, well, I'm glad that my good looks get me somewhere, finally. Though I hope my taste in music has done a bit more.

_{[ It's cool, Meg, it's cool. ]}

[angelherding]

You mean they haven't until now? That's a shame.

[universal_charm]

It's been a rough life.

[angelherding]

You poor thing. I would think the ladies would be throwing themselves at you left and right.

[universal_charm]

You would think, but blonde and blue doesn't get a man as far as it used to.

[angelherding]

[she tsks, as if it's the most disappointing thing she's ever heard]

Not even being a captain helps? I'm surprised, women love a man in uniform.

[universal_charm]

_{[ As well it should be - even if he's not serious about it. ]}

Some days I think the uniform is all that gets me anywhere, but a captain shouldn't abuse the power of his uniform.

[angelherding]

Abusing it is one thing, but there's nothing wrong with a little bragging.

[universal_charm]

That so? I'll have to keep that in mind.

[angelherding]

You'll have to let me know if it works.

[universal_charm]

You know I do have it - the uniform. If you wanted to be a test subject.

[angelherding]

Well, I won't say no.

[universal_charm]

Any time you want, come on over to the Tourist.
