[Semi-open] Stress finally takes its toll
Who: Shiro and Ulaz, Shiro and you
Broadcast: No
Action: on Duotera (for Ulaz), the SS Blameless (open)
When: Throughout this week
Warnings for the Ulaz thread: Mentions of Shiro's year in captivity, possible mentions of torture, experimentation and losing his arm; Shiro having a panic attack with flashes of said memories.
1. Closed to Ulaz
[After a really, really shitty month, Shiro must admit it: Ulaz arriving has been a blessing for his mood. Part of him knows it's messed up that people are brought back from death, but it's not like he can do anything about Atroma's plans (yet, he hopes) and damn if he won't enjoy something nice actually happening to him for a change.
He already lost one "purple". Let him have the other.
They arrive to a nice system, too, which also helps, considering they're still waiting for the third dream to happen. One less thing to worry about. So the main issue in Shiro's mind now is... questions. So many of them. When Ulaz arrived, Shiro wanted to give the poor man time to settle down, so he kept himself in check. But he can't wait any longer.
So time to make a good use of the planets! Duoatera has a nice climate and beautiful hills, so Shiro invites Ulaz for a hike. With only nature (and Procyon of course) surrounding then, they can have a private and calm conversation while exploring. So here is Shiro now, near the hills area, dressed in a nice jacket and ready to go, dog sitting next to him like a good boy.
He smiles when he sees Ulaz approach.] Hey. I'm glad you came. Have you ever gone hiking before?
2. Open - SS Blameless
[Maybe you heard from Ulaz, or from Shiro's teammates, or his crew - or maybe you've just been wondering why Shiro hasn't been around much. But the story is only one: someone finally passed out from all the stress and is now stuck in bed. And hey, maybe you've also been wondering why that someone hasn't taken the captain's room when he's now the only captain of the ship.
Well, wonder no more! Because that's where he is now. You can thank the very tall and very strong purple alien for that.
They haven't moved his stuff yet, but Procyon (now quite bigger and with longer hair) is there with him, taking advantage of the bigger bed and taking care of his master at the same time. And Shiro does have his communicator and tablet, because resting isn't a word he knows of.
He's bored, alright.
So if you're visiting him, you'll find him going through documents on his tablet. Please stop him before stress starts going up again.
Or maybe you are just passing by for whatever reason, making your way through the Blameless' slippery hallways. Since the captain's room currently has the door open (you can also thank the alien for that), Shiro will see you walk by and take the chance to speak up.]
Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor, please? [He almost sounds... ashamed? To be asking this. He feels silly asking for little things he could be doing himself, okay.]

I'd love to play. Bring the table next to the bed so my doctor-- [He gives Ulaz a teasing look.] --doesn't scold me again.
[He's totally not butthurt about having to stay in bed, I don't know what you're talking about.]
Come, Ulaz, get comfortable. Chess is a strategy board game, the rules are simple, but the game can get very intricate. We can teach you we play.
no subject
You know the more you complain, the longer they make you stay in bed. Don't push the sadism of doctors.
[ Or maybe that's just Bones, but you know, better safe than sorry. Kirk moves the table closer as requested though. ]
Many of the rules are the same as a normal chess board, but there are obviously some new ones to account for the 3-D aspect.
[ He launched into a quick explanation, moving pieces as examples and then back to their starting positions. ]
Right, ready to play? You two can be a team, if you like.
no subject
But he did grab a chair and pull it over to observe as Kirk moved the table over to Shiro's bedside. He's fascinated by it. The focus for the moment is off the patient and on the game, lucky for Shiro even if he is still in bed.
Ulaz listened to the explanation, glancing between the board and the pieces. As interesting as it appears, he's never played chess on even a flat board yet]
Perhaps I should watch the first time.
[Maybe Shiro can convince him otherwise...]
no subject
The new extra rules are few and Shiro catches on pretty quickly, it's really not different from regular chess. Ulaz's comment, though, has him a bit disappointed.]
Are you sure? I wouldn't mind a teammate, and Jim has the advantage of experience over me.
no subject
Don't worry if you don't quite understand the rules. I'll clarify or remind you as we play. It's your first time, after all - there's a learning curve, and I'm happy to teach.
[ He smiled encouragingly at the both of then, but mostly Ulaz. ]
If you take to it, I can make you your own set.
no subject
I suppose there would be no harm in teaming up with Shiro, since Kirk doesn't mind. We'll see how I like it.
[But it looks like a puzzle so he'd probably like it. Ulaz moved his chair to sit closer so he could see the board better]
