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. ]}

Yes it can. Cryptic is a choice, my friend.

[precedented]

For you.

Not for me.

[universal_charm]

No, pretty sure being cryptic is a word-style choice.

[precedented]

I would enjoy you telling Spock that his verbose style is a matter of choice.

[universal_charm]

I actually have before. Surprised you haven't seen that.

[precedented]

I do not see everything. Such a thing would drive any man to insanity. I see a great deal at a glance. But unless I'm really looking, some things remained closed.

[ He pauses. ] As for my speech, it is who I am. I rather be cryptic and true to myself. My little allowance to my . . . originality.

[universal_charm]

Well, when you put it that way, I suppose I can't get to mad at you.

[precedented]

You would not be the first.

[ He frowns lightly. ] I am strange in nature. Strange in speech, strange in powers. Tolerance is a . . . privilege, not a necessity.

[universal_charm]

I wouldn't call it strange - rather, unique.

I'm sorry if my teasing made you think otherwise.

[precedented]

[ Leto shakes his head. ]

I was simply - recalling.

[universal_charm]

Well, for what it's worth, I don't mind your eccentricities.

[precedented]

[ He smiles faintly, touched. ]

I appreciate it, Captain.

[universal_charm]

Always welcome, Leto.

[precedented]

I wonder if we have any instruments on the Iskaulit. Then perhaps I can show you some ancient music.

[universal_charm]

Hmm, quite possible, though I do know some other drifters have instruments. I believe Feanor and Maglor both have harps? I don't know about anyone else, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were more hidden away or left behind.

[precedented]

I suppose I shall do my best to ferret them out.

[universal_charm]

I am sure if anyone can, it's you.

[precedented]

You give me far too much credit.

[universal_charm]

Or maybe just enough.

[precedented]

I shall do my best to earn it.
