A Glitch in the Matrix
Who: James Tiberius Kirk and You!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Tourist + The Iskaulit
When: Today (August 9, definitely after the races)
[ video ]
[ When the video starts, it shows a very confused looking teenager. His hair is long and shaggy, desperately in need of taming, and there might even been a smudge of dirt across his nose, blending with his freckles. But those eyes - maybe those eyes are familiar. Bright, bright blue.
As it is, the boy is frowning some, chewing for a second on the corner of his lip before seeming to remind himself to look tough. ]
So, you know, this seems a little extreme. I didn't think you could ship kids off world for taking a joy ride.
[ He glowers in the patented petulant manner of all teens, awaiting his answer. ]
What kind of transport ship is this anyways? I thought the government could afford better than a tin can.
[ action - tourist ]
[ He has figured out he can leave his room. Which... looks like it was meant for someone else, if he was honest. He had poked around, but none of the items looked familiar or made much sense, even if they were interesting.
So the Tourist would have a small blonde child wandering the halls, poking his head into rooms, and spending most of his time in the kitchen, or with the slugs - sometimes both. He didn't know why slugs would be on a ship, but they were cute, so why not hang with them? ]
[ action - iskaulit ]
[ Now, of course any enterprising young man would be able to find the shuttles and find a way over to the Iskaulit. Which is a far better adventure than his boring old ship he was placed on. He'll be poking around all the different rooms, especially having his fun with the obstacle course even if it was definitely not made for someone his side.
Is that his head poking into your space? Oops, hello, he's not sorry. But you might get a wave. ]

He also remembers well exactly how he would have taken that at that age, and so instead he runs a hand over his face and chooses to focus on the topic he'd rather not.] Not.. A secret, just wounded pride. I used to be better at it, a long time ago.

Well, practice makes perfect, right? And if it's just for you, who cares what other people think?
[ Probably the most hypocritical thing to come out of a teenager's mouth. All they cared about was what other's thought. Though maybe it was somewhat true with Kirk. At least when it came to adults. ]

'Here is the monster you tried to kill, flatscans.' Kurt clears his throat, his lips curling in a tiny smile.] Sage advice, but it isn't just for me. I'm.. looking to continue someone else's project. So, practice.
