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. ]

Re: action;
Why don't you try modeling out of clay or some other material first? That should be more readily available than metals and gemstones, and you can practice pretty endlessly with it until you're satisfied.

Re: action;
Hmm, true. You might want to consider a material mix then to allow for stability and reduce potential for tarnish. It could make for some interesting color variations too.

Re: action;
Gunmetal I think is nice - a little darker than silver, or there's tungsten. They would show off a lighter colored jewel pretty well too.
[ A thought occurred just then. ]
You know, I wonder if Alphonse could make you some of the materials you need with his alchemy...
action;
[ that would be amazing. ]
Re: action;
You should go talk to him, see what it takes. He's told me a little bit about the alchemy, but I'm not sure what he would precisely need to transmute the metals. I'm sure he'd help you out though. Maybe he could even make them for you if you got cheaper metals from one of the planets come to.

I'll ask. Thanks, Jim.
