driftfleet | Captain's Log 04

Who: Jim Kirk & You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, on the Tourist
When: Now (that is, Friday)

_{[ It's a strange feeling, waking up and staring at a ceiling that he instinctively knows is on a ship. He hasn't looked at one of those in awhile, mostly because his ship was still being built. He had been able to tour some parts of her, but she was far from complete, and certainly nowhere near ready for him to move into. So why? Why was there something familiar about this ceiling? He had seen it before, he was sure, nagging at the back of his mind -

The Fleet.

It struck him like a slap, making him gasp, and he sat up sharply, looking down at himself, wrapped in his survival suit of all things. He touched the raised silver crest of Star Fleet, trying to wrap his mind around the notion he was back on the Tourist. How long had it been? Almost three years? He had just celebrated his birthday, so, yes, three years...

Looking around he located the communicator, flipping it open, remembering the motions easily enough as he keyed up the video and looked in. It's to late by the time he realizes that he has a crown settled into his somewhat fluffier hair and a bright red lipstick mark on his cheek. Who-? Well, whatever, everyone will just get to see him attempt to rub the lipstick off as he speaks, crown, for the moment, remaining where it was. ]}

Uh - hello everyone. I'm not sure how much time as passed here, so I suppose I should start with introductions. My name is Captain James Tiberius Kirk, U.S.S. Enterprise, though feel free to call me Jim. I was here once before, but I suppose at some point I got sent home.

It's been three years for me. So, if possible, I wouldn't mind a roll call of who all is here - and exactly how much time has passed for you all.

Kirk, out.

_{[ He turns off the communicator and gets up slowly, stretching, making his way for the kitchen and wondering if that cantankerous coffee machine was still here and functioning, and if it had been tamed. He hoped so. He desperately needed coffee. Maybe something more too. Yes, definitely something more.

Irish coffee it was Or as close as he could get it. ]}

Good. [Not surprising. And with her Winn taken care of there's someone else to consider who she hasn't seen since she came here, but who is still in her thoughts.]

How is Pavel? Is he happy?

Yeah, he is. Still bright eyed and bushy tailed, though I did discover he has a thing for brandy, which is surprising.

Brandy? That's not from Russia. [Probably. She doesn't really know where brandy was developed or popularized. The etymology is wrong for it at least.

Her gaze lightens though. She's glad he's okay. That's something. Even if he's possibly also still stranded in an underwater prison.]

Right? That's what Bones and I thought. But whatever his tastes, they're good.

_{[ Which they found out by raiding his locket and confiscating said brandy, buuuuut he's not mentioning that. ]}

Last I knew, he was happily enjoying shore leave and flitting around York Town.

Enjoying and flitting is as it should be. No memories of captivity to hold him back. [The prison or the city he was in before it.]

And you, mister, you need to take care of yourself. My boyfriend has gotten very attached.

To be fair - the coma was not my idea.

But yeah, I know he has. I could tell by the sensor that mysteriously appeared on my person when I woke up.

Do I seem like I'm interested in being fair? [Yeah, yeah, she knows.]

He had a sensor on you? [That's not creepy.]

I guess like a heart rate monitor. He said it was to make sure I didn't tank, and I appreciate his worry, but.. yeah.

_{[ He loves that kid, but really - sometimes he was just to much. ]}

He thinks of everything and then he thinks of another few things on top of that. [Which is part of why he never sleeps and always worries.]

That's pretty much it. I won't lie, there have been days I've considered using the Vulcan Pinch on him just to get him to take a nap.

I don't know what that is and as badly as I want him to sleep I'm still definitely vetoing it.

It's nothing serious, it's just a pinch to a certain nerve bundle that knocks a person how harmlessly for a few hours, really. Trust me, I've had it done to me.

_{[ He's serious about the having it done to him part, at least, but his
tone is joking more than trying to make a serious argument for the use of
it. But, you know, he'll keep it in his back pocket. Just in case. ]}

Still vetoed. Super vetoed. [You better watch that back pocket and everything connected to it if you mess with any of his nerve bundles, Kirk.]

Noted.

_{[ Though if he was being honest, if he judged the situation necessary,
he'd use it, her veto not withstanding. Sorry Kitty. But cross that bridge
when necessary. ]}

Did I miss anything important while I was out?

[She'd do the same thing.]

It's been quiet for me, but I might have missed things. [She was very Winn focused.]

(OOC: I hope I'm not missing anything glaringly obvious like the new planet, but I think they were already there? Maybe? Time and memory is hard.)

Well, I suppose that's a good thing. You know how I hate to not be part of the action.

_{[ He grinned, his usual cheek still very much intact. ]}

_{[ooc: he meant out as in when he was in a coma, not like he went out
to the planet. He did go down for a couple of days before he passed out,
but that was it. ]}

Well, now you're back to created all new action.

(OOC: I know. I just don't remember what all was going on when he was in the coma.)

It is my specialty, you know.

_{[ ooc: Oh, nothing special, no worries. ]}

Oh, I know. I'm putting out warnings to everyone.
