Captain's Log 09 - Rumor Has It
Who: Jim Kirk + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, the Tourist + the Iskaulit
When: Drift Week
[ Video ]
[ Kirk appears on the screen, wearing his customary black t-shirt. He's a simple man at heart, really. If you look behind him, one can see a number of boxes, all seemingly overflowing with similar black shirts. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's happened. A sponsor drop.
He's twirling some bits of paper in front of him, a look somewhere between bemused and annoyed on his face. ]
So I suppose I should thank someone for all the new shirts that just came in. I assume they are to make up for these that I have heard going around. I have to say, some of these are quite inventive, so props to whomever came up with them.
Let's read my favorites, shall we?
One - Kirk likes to twirl in his captain's chair when no one is looking.
Two - Kirk rips his shirts on purpose.
Three - Kirk and Leonard McCoy are in a romantic relationship together.
Four - Kirk is secretly a zombie.
Five - Kirk is actually a virgin.
There is quite a lot to unpack in those, which I assume come from the "viewers". Two of which have me saying - really? Do you know me at all? But I applaud your imaginations, truly.
[ He pushes away from his position of leaning on his desk - at which point his black shirt rips right across the chest. He looks down and sighs, giving his head that little shake of the exasperated when something has happened one to many times in a day. He looks up at the camera and points with his little stubs of paper. ]
Contrary to belief, that was not on purpose. And whoever dropped these - F for quality.
[ And he turns off the video to go change. Sorry guys, no show today. ]
[ Action ]
[ Over the course of the next week or so, it is highly likely one will run into Kirk on either the Tourist or the Iskaulit in some variable form of undress - bet it with an intact shirt, a ripped shirt, or changing into a new one he carried with him at all times. If you have never seen his tattoos before, now's your chance.
Also, for the Tourist, don't mind the ripped up shirts that are beginning to appear in every trash receptacle, and even forming a modest pile just outside his door in one of the emptied boxes. He really has nowhere else to put them. ]

[ Please take them, Furiosa. Please. ]
no subject
[Honestly she's more likely to use them as rags.]

[She quirks the corner of her lips, and then cuts the feed. Sure enough one shuttle ride later she's arriving on the Tourist]
no subject
[ He welcomes here at the door in an untorn shirt - for now. He smiles when he sees her, leading her down the almost labyrinth like halls. ]
Feeling better now that we're away from the water?
no subject
[An exaggeration, perhaps, but either way she is truly thankful that's not something she has to worry about anymore.]
I think a few rumors are worth the freedom.
no subject
All that water really freaked you out, huh?
[ It was hard to imagine an Earth that no longer had water, or that it was so finite as to be able to create warlords. ]
no subject
Kaidan's teaching me, so hopefully the next time we drop down on a planet like that I'll be better prepared.
no subject
Oh? It would have been a good time to learn. You couldn't actually drown there - we could breath under water. I actually kept that little ability.
[ He had no idea if it would come in handy or not, but given all the crazy things that happened to them, it felt like the best option presented. ]
But it's good you're learning. It's to bad we don't have a pool for you to learn in.
no subject
I don't think a pool would be practical on these ships. [A little grin; she's imaginging all the electrical problems they'd have if the gravity went out and water got everywhere.]
no subject
Maybe not on these tiny ones, but on the Iskaulit or the Marsiva it would be possible. We had one on the Enterprise. Not very big - just a lap pool - but we did have one.
[ It is technically a psuedo-military ship, he promises. ]
