_{[ The video opens to Kirk's bedroom, his hair damp from what one would hope is a shower. A small curl has escaped against his forehead. He doesn't look particularly grim, but he doesn't seem overjoyed to be awake either. ]}

Good morning, everyone. Looks like I'm finally awake. For those who don't know me or possibly forgot I was here given how long I was alseep, I'm James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the Tourist - but just call me Jim.

According to my first mate, I've been asleep for a month. And I've missed quite a bit, as it turns out.

_{[ He took a breath, his voice sounding a touch guilty, even though going into a coma wasn't his choice. ]}

I would appreciate a check in with everyone, especially my crew - new and old members. And if anyone wants to talk, I'm here.

[ Action - Tourist ]
<sub>[ Awake and showered, now he needed coffee. Coffee and a real meal. There had been... distractions, before now. He made his way to the kitchen to see if he could coax the coffee maker into being kind and cooperating for once, and that done he took up a spot where he could look out at the stars gliding by - and hopefully catch anyone else coming and going.

Once he had finished the coffee, he would start a walk around the ship, looking to catch anyone he hadn't already and get a feel back for her. ]</sub>

[ Action - Iskaulit ]
<sub>[ More than anything else he craved exercise. Whatever Atroma did while they were in their comas had kept off any major atrophy, but his body still felt tight and unused. It was certainly uncomfortable, to say the least, and after being told of what had happened he didn't want to be caught in anything less than prime condition.

So the Iskaulit went to avail himself of the facilities, running long laps and then switching to weights and back again. If he saw anyone he would talk, of course. He might even slide into the bar at some point. Most professionals would say that going for a drink after waking up from a coma wasn't the best idea, but considering what he had been told? He thought it a necessary medicine. ]</sub>

_{[ Smooth, Kitty. He would laugh if he didn't feel so tired even after having slept for a month. ]}

Yeah, that is something to consider. Maybe I should stick to fruit juice and pretend.

[video]

[passingthrough]

Even better. Especially if you pretend to act drunk. It'd be a big hit with the crew, I'm sure. Maybe Jarvis would make you an extra meal to sober you up and now that I'm saying it I kind of want to pretend in his presence too.

[video]

[universal_charm]

Oh no, I've created a monster. Jarvis will never forgive me if he finds out.

[video]

[passingthrough]

I wonder if he'd make me reward food if I told you.

[universal_charm]

Kitty, are you suggesting you would use me to get Jarvis to make food for you?

_{[ The mock horror! ]}

[passingthrough]

I am. That is what I'm saying. Throwing you right under the bus as fast as I can.

[universal_charm]

Will you at least kiss my wounds better later?

[passingthrough]

Are you kidding? I don't know where those things have been.

[universal_charm]

Under the bus, where you threw me!

[passingthrough]

[That just gets a laugh.] Well, I'm sure you wouldn't want pity kisses. I'll respect your unspoken wishes.

[universal_charm]

Ah, and there in lies the danger of letting you get to know me so well.

[passingthrough]

It's true. You were thiiiiis close to make outs before that. [You weren't. Well...okay, there might have been a window. But then there was a Winn...doh!]

[universal_charm]

It's my weakness, letting people past this pretty face.

_{[ He doesn't take it seriously, and he wouldn't want to anyways. Not that he doesn't find you attractive, but well - you know, Winn, and now Chekov. It would be weird in the spirit of things. ]}

[passingthrough]

[Well, they both have eyes so there's that, but yes, Winn and Chekov now.]

You'll have to watch out for that in the future. You wouldn't want someone like me to slip by again.

[universal_charm]

I feel like you have an unfair advantage, what with the phasing.

_{[ A wry grin. ]}

[passingthrough]

You're just going to have to keep up, Kirk.

[Smiling back.]

Somehow I think you'll find a way.

[universal_charm]

How can I not, when you have such faith in me, Kitty?

[passingthrough]

That's the spirit. I'll drop by the Tourist soon. [Smile.] I mean, probably to see your Lieutenant, but I might run into you too.

[universal_charm]

Well, you know, if it happens it happens. You know I never say no to a visit from you, Kitty. Just remember to knock?

[passingthrough]

Afraid I won't be able to unsee whatever you have going on in there? [Or maybe you just want privacy like anyone else.]

[universal_charm]

And it will haunt you the rest of your life, as you realize you've fallen madly in love with the sight of me.

_{[ Kidding kidding. Maybe. ]}

[passingthrough]

[It gets a laugh so here's hoping it's a joke.] I'd say I'll take the risk, but I guess I should respect your privacy on your own ship.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Totally a joke. He laughs back. ]}

I am not responsible for any lasting effects if you don't.

[passingthrough]

You should print a warning label for yourself, Kirk.

[universal_charm]

I'll be sure to add it to my business cards.
