_{[ 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>

Well, can you blame him? I worry any time anyone goes into a coma. We can just never tell with these things.

_{[ He ran a hand through his damp hair and then grimaced as he wiped it on his shirt. ]}

No, no harm. Other than some sore muscles when I woke up, I'm just fine. You? Singing voice still intact?

[bythewaves]

Not entirely, but I could live without him treating me like an invalid ! He tried to feed me, Jim.

[ But he sounds more fond and amused than upset ]

I seem to be fine as well - certainly I feel very er...rested?

[universal_charm]

Well, I can't really blame people for fussing. You never know with these things after all...

_{[ He gave a little shrug and then let out a bark of a laugh. ]}

Yeah, I don't want to go back to sleep for a long while if I can help it.

[bythewaves]

That much is true, and so long as he does not actually follow up on his threat to sit on me, I suppose I will forgive him!

[ Maglor chuckles as well ]

Agreed! I might not sleep for a week, or so it feels. Then again, that might make my family fuss.

[universal_charm]

Why would he need to sit on you?

_{[ That sounds counterproductive. ]}

I don't think they'll stop fussing for awhile. Seems a reasonable response.

[bythewaves]

That, you will have to ask him!

[ But mainly because Maglor is bad at sitting still when he wants to get up and go check on people ]

Don't you gang up with them on me!

[universal_charm]

Better than everyone ganging up on me!

[bythewaves]

I could always turn it back to you, you know, drop a suggestion in your young crewmates ear that you aren't taking care of yourself!

[universal_charm]

Yes, but none of them want to sit on me, so watch out - I have the leverage here.

[bythewaves]

I could sit on you. [ Maglor points out, eyes dancing merrily ] I'm certainly tall enough, and I am sure young master Chekov would appreciate the assistance!

[universal_charm]

Mmmm, tempting, but I know a few people who might protest.

_{[ He waggled his brows at Maglor. Look, it has not been lost on him that you're pretty Maglor. What's a little friendly flirting? It's normal. Let him flirt! ]}

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor's eyebrow hikes up and then his eyes narrow playfully.

Oh, you're playing that game are you? ]

Oh? Whyever for? Should they not instead be grateful that you were unable to escape their intentions for once?

[ Blandly, perfectly, absolutely innocently, as if so very puzzled~ ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Oh yes, yes he is. He's very good at it, haven't you heard? ]}

Is it really their intentions I have to worry about escaping~?

[bythewaves]

[ INNOCENT FACE ]

Why, I am sure their intentions are the kindest and most well meant!

[universal_charm]

Hmm, not theirs I'm worried about, now are they?

[bythewaves]

[ ALL THE INNOCENCE ]

Tis me, you are worried about? Why Captain I would never!

[universal_charm]

Ah, but you know what they say! It's the sweet ones you have to watch out for! Who knows what intentions you hide behind that sweet face?

[bythewaves]

[ GASP ]

Oh, that my own friend would so accuse me! [ Maglor laughs ]

I would never be so rude while you were incapacitated~

[universal_charm]

Oh no, no, I would never accuse you of such things.

Not while I was sleeping, anyways.

[bythewaves]

Never while you are sleeping. [ He agrees ]

Such behaviour is unfitting!

[universal_charm]

But of course! And you such a noble creature. I would never dream of it.

[bythewaves]

Why thank you! Manners would never let me do so to an opponent unable to protest, of coursea
