Action: Yes, on the Tourist and Iskaulit
When: Now!

[ Video ]
_{[ 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 ]
_{[ 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. ]}

[ Action - Iskaulit ]
_{[ 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. ]}

I'm certain I can muddle through it. [ He practically beams at Kirk. ] I am, after all, very capable. I shall see you in twenty minutes, Captain.

I look forward to it, Dorian.

_{[ He returns the intensity of the smile, and ends the comm to get on a
shuttle. He really did need a drink, especially after what had been told
recently, and good company while he drank? All the better. A quick change
and he was on his way to the Iskaulit. He parked the shuttle and got out,
looking for his erstwhile drinking companion, hoping that he hadn't fallen
into distress with the shuttles. ]}

[ Somehow, Dorian manages to borrow a shuttle and get it to the Iskaulit with little trouble. He leaves as soon as their conversation is finished, which is how he manages to beat Jim there. As discussed, he stands by the exit to the docks and offers him a smile in greeting. He was certainly more dashing in person, which Dorian hadn't thought possible. He practically oozes charisma. ]

It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person.

_{[ Dorian isn't so bad himself. That mustache is far more charming than
through a screen, and Kirk's eyes light up a bit more with even more
attraction to the man. It looked like his intuition had paid off again.
]}

Same here. The screens don't do you justice, Dorian. I hope I didn't keep you waiting to long.

Nothing can quite compare to seeing me for yourself, rest assured. You are in mutual company in that regard.

[ He waves a hand idly. ]

Not so long that the anticipation wore off.

Hah, so my timing was perfect then.

_{[ He smirked, as if he had planned it - but don't be fooled Dorian, he
hadn't. Not at all. He motioned for Dorian to follow him into the interior
of the ship, turning to head towards the bars. ]}

There's quite a bit on this ship to do than just drink. Has anyone explained it to you?

[ Of course, he won't comment on it. Let the man have his perfect timing, Dorian understands the necessity for dramatic flair. He falls into stride just behind and to Kirk's right as they walk further into the ship. ]

Somewhat in passing, though I won't deny that the drinking held more interest.

Hah, it tends to for most. But I can't actually blame them for that.

_{[ He shook his head and keyed the elevator to take them up to the
levels with the amenities. ]}

There's gardens here, a multi-faith chapel if you're the religious sort, a pool, track, an obstacle course, a restaurant - a little bit of everything really. It's a good place to pass time if you feel yourself getting a little stir crazy.

They certainly don't want us becoming bored, do they? [ It sounds like they aren't left wanting anything aside from freedom. ]

What do you find yourself doing when you become restless?

Hmm, well, I like to run. Or to work on mechanical projects. Mostly, I like being physical.

_{[ There's the flicker of a smile, a little sparkle in his eye as he
lead him towards the Malum. ]}

If you look hard enough you can find things to do, but we never stay dull for long, so you might want to enjoy it while you can too.
