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. ]

[Kurt freezes when the boy replies with his name, several little details falling into place. He'd have never pictured Kirk as a moody teenager, and the reality of it brings with it the urge to snicker.

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.

[Possibly, but he can also remember the burning determination to make it true. It drove him to embrace his demonic appearance, to shove everything strange and terrifying about him into the collective face of the world.

'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.
