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. ]}

_{[ He lets out a laugh, playing with his new slug. ]}

I was kidding, Fenris. But I think a few wouldn't hurt, don't you? They look simple to care for, and having pets around increases morale.

_{[ Ah, tribbles. ]}

They're interesting little creatures. They look like a literal fur ball, have insatiable appetites, and proliferate at rates that are frankly frightening. I believe they are actually born pregnant. The Klingon have rated them as a top enemy to be exterminated on sight.

[Welp. That is exactly what he wants to avoid. That right there, Kirk. ]

...And are we sure these slugs will not also breed prolifically and inundate the ship?

[universal_charm]

_{[ You're being dramatic Fenris, really. ]}

Hmm, fairly sure. We can check with the locals about it, but they don't seem to treat these things like menaces, so I wouldn't think so.

[wolfuncaged]

[His life is dramatic. ]

...Then I suppose a few would be agreeable. If you insist on this madness.

_{[ You have no idea, Fenris. ]}

I rather do.

_{[ He came over and picked up a purple and a green, placing one on either of Fenris' shoulders with a grin. ]}

See? Already an improvement.

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris manages not to scowl at least which IS probably an improvement. He kind of lets out a grunt in reply, turning to head back towards the ship.

But with the slugs, so. ]

_{[ He grinned, shaking his head around a short little laugh beneath his breath. Oh Fenris. ]}
