[universal_charm]

Who: Jim Kirk + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, the Tourist + the Iskaulit
When: Drift Week

[ Video ]
<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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 ]
<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

I don't always kill things for fun, Captain. I know many ways to enjoy myself.

[He's using 'Captain' in that flirty tone again. ]

_{[ Oh he likes the Flirty Tony. The Flirty Tone is kind of unfair really, because he likes it so much. ]}

Oh, do you know? You'll have to show me sometime, so I can join in.

[wolfuncaged]

Perhaps I can be encouraged to do so sometime.

I promise to make it worth your while ~

[He lets out a low rumbling chuckle. ]

Oh, will you now?

Re: Video;

_{[ He leans in a little closer, his heart thrumming a bit louder. ]}

When have I ever not kept my word to you?

[Fenris offers the camera a wide smile. He should probably quit while he's ahead but that will never happen, so- ]

True. You have always been very reliable in that regard.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

_{[ He bit his lip, just at the corner, ever so slightly, laughing under his breath. Fenris was going to be the death of him... ]}

I'm reliable in plenty of other regards too.

[wolfuncaged]

[And he would love every second of it. Fenris cants his head, smirk playing across his lips.]

Truly? I cannot say I am all that surprised.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

_{[ God, he would. Every little death he was given. ]}

Hopefully one day I can give you a proper demonstration.

[He gives a soft hum of amusement. He knows he can't. He knows this. But still. ]

Perhaps. We never know what the future holds.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

Hmm, I suppose we don't. A man can live off hope for awhile, at least.

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

I am sure it will sustain you for the meantime.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

Such faith in me, Fenris.

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

It is undying, you know.

[Not a lie. ]

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

_{[ He paused at that, rubbing the back of his head with a slight pink on his cheeks. ]}

Wow, no pressure, right?

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris catches that, and it's certainly a very attractive shade on the man. A smile crosses his lips, as he huffs out a soft laugh. ]

I am sure you can manage it, Captain.

[universal_charm]

Well, now I really can't let you down.

[wolfuncaged]

I don't think you have it in you.

[universal_charm]

Then I won't.

_{[ Said softly and warmly, smiling faintly at the elf. ]}
