Who: Pavel Chekov and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Tourist and/or Iskaulit
When: From the Great Shuffle through July
[video]
It was kind of our hosts to give us gifts after keeping us on the Marsiva and making us share far, far too much with each other, but...
[The Russian pulls his lovely gift basket into view. In addition to the candies and fudge and pickled herring (he is grateful for all of these things, thank you space hosts), there are a few additional items that he is less amused by.]
Did anyone else find their choice in gifts, er... slightly insulting?
Although it was thoughtful of them, I admit, to provide a shirt [it says "I <3 bad boys," for the Russian speakers out there] for my girlfriend to wear once I grow her.
[Sarcasm. That was definitely sarcasm.]
[action]
[If Pavel isn't poking around his quarters on the Tourist, then he's going for a run on the Iskaulit. In either case, he is making no real effort to be sociable. It's not that he doesn't want to talk to people, it's just that there are a lot of things that he doesn't want to talk about. Everyone knows that the only sure way to avoid certain topics of conversation is to avoid talking entirely.
Any attempts on his part to keep quiet will fail miserably if he's approached. Being a person who likes other people is so hard sometimes.]
[ooc: If you, like me, wanted to do ALL of the Calibration things but grossly overestimated your ability to do so, you're welcome to browse Chekov's memories and handwave your character seeing any of the unmarked ones.]

...What if Chekov is part of the reason the Atroma took Winn? Maybe it was for ratings. Maybe they realized that a Winn-Kitty-Chekov love triangle wasn't that much fun with two of the three participants in a happy, stable relationship. Oh no. That wouldn't make this his fault, exactly, but it'd be his-fault-adjacent...
Right, no, looking for creative ways to elicit self-hatred should wait for later. That's a solo activity and Kitty said something that was sweet in a weird, depressing way, so.]
No one has been lost completely. Maybe you'll be actually lucky soon.

Yeah...maybe soon. [Her smile weakens. It's hard to find just the right balance of hope and determination without hanging your every hope on it. She's also been telling herself she needs to move on. She's so far from ready for actually doing that, but what good would she even be to Winn if she was living some shell of a life just pining for him? She has to keep walking.]
Mm, how are things going for you? Any Tourist gossip? [Even if they haven't been back on the ships long.]
no subject
He sees her smile fade and can't think of anything reassuring to say that might be true because, as it turns out, these universes kind of suck. Subject change it is.]
No gossip. Kara and her boyfriend are disappointingly unscandalous and Kirk never shares anything interesting with me. I did promise Fenris that I would throw a snowball at him someday... that is the most interesting thing that I know.
