Who: Fenris and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Tourist
When: 1st

[It's been a pretty crappy month for Fenris, most of it his own doing. He'd been hoping September might at least find some semblance of normalcy again. A little quiet and calm to collect himself once more. He should have known better- Atroma is very good at making sure that sort of thing absolutely does not happen.]

Kirk is asleep, and will not wake, so I assume this is Atroma's doing. I will do my best to take care of the Tourist until he wakes, but I will need some help running the Space Bar until Nami returns to us. It will be rather tricky to manage the two.

[He might not sleep well, but he still needs to try and DO that. Plus he absolutely does not trust Atroma to not do something awful while Kirk sleeps. Given everyone's weird nightmares recently, he'd put good coin on something awful happening, in fact. It's his job to make sure no one dies horribly or the Tourist gets set on fire in Kirk's absence, and it's one of the few jobs he'll actually take seriously.]

Thank you, for any aid you can give.

[There's a really, really petty part of Riona that wants to say "serves you right" and make a face at him. But 1. that's really childish and 2. well, it's pretty mean, too. She's not so cruel as to rub this in his face.

Still, it leaves her wondering what to say, or if she should say anything at all. She's not sure where his head's at, and maybe she won't be a welcome sight.

In the end, she decides to at least try.]

You're going to be a busy man for a bit, it seems.

[He's not in the best place, that's true. Still, as much as he's unsure how she feels about him any more, she's not an unwelcome face, far from it. ]

Especially given I cannot shake the feeling Atroma are planning something. Those shared nightmares cannot be a coincidence.

[bryces_pup]

Aren't they always? [She always assumes they are.] I saw someone on the network mention having one, but I didn't realize how widespread it was. Did you have one?

[wolfuncaged]

True, they never seem to take a break from it.

[So rude. So, so rude. ]

No, I did not. Something I am grateful for. I have enough nightmares already, I do not need Atroma adding to them.

[Danarius gave him enough for several hundred lifetimes. ]

[bryces_pup]

[And they so enjoy screwing those in the fleet over in doing so.]

I'm glad to hear you were spared. If mine's any indication, they're not pleasant in the least.

[wolfuncaged]

I am sorry you have to suffer them. I hope they will at least serve as a warning, perhaps something that can help you, should the worst happen on this planet.

[He doesn't trust it one bit. ]

[bryces_pup]

I've been... looking out for the place that was in my dream. If you see a forest with dead plants and red-leaved trees, don't go in, whatever you do.

[Since Pavel quite likes talking to Fenris, they happen to live on the same ship, and it would be nice to do something that doesn't involve dwelling on how remarkably disheartening existence in the fleet tends to be, he drops by in person rather than replying to the video. Hope you're cool with company while you're trying to prevent the Tourist from going up in flames, Fenris.]

Do you foresee yourself entering a coma in the very near future?

[He is not at all joking.]

[wolfuncaged]

[There's a small handful of people Fenris tolerates dropping in on him unannounced. Luckily for Pavel, he's one of them. He's on the bridge,
still sitting on his own chair and avoiding Kirk's as much as possible.
That would feel a little too like taking the man's place.
He's only captain until Kirk wakes, after all.

He offers Pavel a tired smile as he enters.]

I certainly hope not. But I do not trust Atroma not to be troublesome. We are near a signing planet, and those tend to have a certain element of danger to them. I do not wish to be distracted from my duties in keeping this ship and her crew safe.

[candothat]

[Pavel is lucky indeed! Life would be so much sadder if Fenris was inclined to kick him off the bridge.]

Then I will try to distract you minimally.

[He slips over to the communications station and spends all of five seconds pretending that he's here to work, not bother Fenris.]

Maybe I can help...? I know nothing about these singing planets, but I have been a command officer on a Starfleet vessel for several years.

[wolfuncaged]

[Such a lucky guy. And honestly, Fenris was counting in his head until Pavel started to speak to him. He got further than the elf expected.]

Your help would be appreciated. I am skilled in protecting others from actual, physical threats. But the rest? That is a little beyond me.

[There are days, like this, where he wonders if Kirk made him first mate for shits and giggles. Wow, he is so not trained in this at all. ]

/quietly rises from the dead

[candothat]

The most important thing is to be calm and convince the rest of us that everything is fine.

[He looks up from the console to shoot a somewhat unconvincing smile Fenris' way.]

You're doing a good job of that already.

oooh spooooky

[wolfuncaged]

[The elf lets out a soft 'heh' of amusement. ]

That's the most important thing? That explains a lot about Kirk.

Voice.

[edwinjarvis]

... When it rains, it pours... I'll keep an eye on Captain Kirk.

[For once, Jarvis isn't running a-muck on the Tourist when the call goes out; he's at the bistro, in the back kitchens. He pinches his nose and tries to sound a little less weary when he speaks up.]

Are you alright, Mr. Fenris? I can assist as well, if you need anything...

Voice.

[wolfuncaged]

Only too true, and thank you. I will check on him every night, but it would be helpful to be able to make sure nothing happens.

[He doesn't trust Atroma not to pull something. Not at all. ]

I will be fine. [It's just been...a month. ] Hopefully the ship can just keep running as normal.

Voice.

[edwinjarvis]

I have little doubt in your capabilities. But should you need a helping hand, I offer it regardless.

... Even if it's something as simple as whipping some some comfort foods.

[Can you resist comfort foods, Fenris.]

Voice.

[wolfuncaged]

I...appreciate that, Jarvis.

[No, no he can't. Make him apple pie and he'll love you forever. He chuckles softly. ]

I will appreciate that even more.

Voice.

[edwinjarvis]

Very well! What might you like to see, the next time you enter the kitchen?

I'll be sure to have something cooked up.

[It'll distract him from his own issues, too. Issues he's swiftly been learning how to sweep under rugs, so that nobody else is bothered by him -- he hardly wants to be a depressive aura about the ship, it's not his job. It's not fair to the others, either.]

Voice.

[wolfuncaged]

That is..very good of you. I do not need anything fancy or complicated- simply and hearty does me well enough.

[Better for all of them they they keep on keeping on.]

Video - I'm not late. You're late.

[goldenglasses]

I can probably pick up a couple extra shifts at the Space Bar. Or at worst we could close the kitchen some nights and I can take over in the front.

[He'd be willing to put in even more, but with his Co-Captain also asleep he doesn't want to be away too much either.]

Video- NO U!!

[wolfuncaged]

Thank you, that would be most helpful. It may be an idea to do that, until Nami returns to us, anyway.

[They can only juggle so much, after all. ]

Video

[goldenglasses]

Sounds like a plan to me. After all, most people come to a bar to drink. I mean, sure, greasy food to go with it is wonderful, but I think the fleet can "rough it" for a little bit.

Video

[wolfuncaged]

I'm sure they can. There are plenty of places they can eat. I am sure Jarvis would welcome the extra custom.

Video

[goldenglasses]

That's a good point as well. Still, I hope she doesn't stay away too long. Can't have too much of our customers trying out the competition.

[His tone is jovial, but what he really wants is Nami to come back safely.]

Video

[wolfuncaged]

[He gives a soft heh sound- almost a laugh. ]

That would be a tragedy, and she would never forgive us for such a slight.
