[ Video ]

_{[ The picture that comes up is that of one Captain Kirk, his lips drawn into a meld of thin line and irritated purse. It is a rare expression for him, but in this case it is well deserved. He's sitting in his room, on his bed, the wall behind him, and a slug perched on his shoulder. He needed the soothing influence. ]}

I don't know which if your sponsors -

_{[ He inserted air quotes here ]}

Thought to send this particular care package, but it's not nearly as tactful, funny, or even comforting as you might think it is.

<sub>[ He held up a letterman style jacket, which seemed innocent from the front in its black and white coloring. But then he turned it to the back, where proud letters were emblazoned -

I DIED AND I SURVIVED ]</sub>

I got a whole box of them. If you want one, I guess... come and get one? Though really if you want me to burn them, I'm happy to do that too. Take some marshmallows to them as well, because why not at this point?

[ Action - Bazaar/Shops ]

<sub>[ Kirk had taken some of the jackets from the box and brought them here. Even though he had made an offer to burn them, he thought they might be more useful if they could traded for credit or some sort. The leather and construction on the jackets was nice and sturdy. Surely the people out here could appreciate that and pay a pretty penny for it, even if the back was... unpleasant.

He could be seen trying to barter the jackets for some supplies, mostly food to round out the goo, sometimes some things to keep them occupied like new games he found, or even just some new clothes to freshen things up. But he seemed to be having similar conversations at every stall - ]</sub>

What kind of bad luck you trying to bring around here? Ain't no way in hell I'm trading for that!

_{[ And other variations, often with less than viewer friendly wording. Definitely not a hit. ]}

Why would you burn them? It's a fantastic message.

[universal_charm]

I think that’s a matter of opinion. Not my fondest memory, after all.

[hollystrike]

Of course it isn't. Who has a fond memory of dying? But living to tell the tale... that's entirely another story.

The first time doesn't count.

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

Well since the first time is the only time for me, I count it.

Why wouldn’t your first time count? Did you fake it?

[sassy_assassin]

Definitely keep at least one. Who knows when it could come in handy.

[universal_charm]

How would I a jacket like this come in handy? A scare tactic?

[Video]

[cajunspice]

[...]

Yes, I both want them 'nd need them. [Seriously, how can you not appreciate them, Jim?! They're hilarious!]

[universal_charm]

Well then you can come over and get them. I'm not running a courier service.

[ecclesiophobic]

Might have a better chance at it if you took the lettering off.

[Says the man perched on the back of an empty chair, his tail curled around it to steady himself. One of the merchants at a stall to the side is unabashedly staring at him; Kurt doesn't seem to notice.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He turned to see Kurt, and a soft smile crossed his features, mood lifted despite the frustration. He grabbed the jacket off the stall and meandered over to the blue mutant. ]}

I would if I didn't think I'd ruin the rest of it in the process. I'm no tailor.

[the_tailor]

[He's just going to.

Have a bit of eyetwitching at that.]

....Seriously? Like, seriously?

[universal_charm]

I'm not to surprised, as much as we've all been talking about it lately.

Though, like I said - no tact.

[ Allura narrows her eyes. ]

I'm not sure if this is meant to be taken seriously or not. This is supposed to be a gift?

[universal_charm]

Hmm, rather depends on how you look at it, I guess. And how you feel towards the incident of your death if this applies to you.

[Frowning at this travesty of fashion]

I'm not quite sure what's it's supposed to mean, but I wouldn't wear it even if the message made any sense.

[universal_charm]

But the varsity jacket is a classic American fashion tradition!

[nosferatanking]

That's...kind of a weird jacket. You didn't really die, did you?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Have the look of a man who isn’t exactly thrilled at having something about themselves outed, but isn’t bothered enough not to talk about it. The personification of the :/ face. ]}

No, I really did die. Heart stopped, no brain function, the works.

[ Action - Bazaar/Shops ]

[tiedonastring]

You need a better tactic if you attempt to barter with those jackets. It certainly seems the current one you're using is not working in your favor.

[Hux couldn't help comment as he stood near by at another stall as he bartered with someone else for some supplies he felt was needed. He could hear the other's poor attempts travel from stall to stall. While he wasn't dressed in his typical uniform, he still wore black clothing in attempt to mimic his uniform. His stance and tone also indicated a military background.]

_{[ Kirk glanced over at this critic and snorted, gathering up the jacket he had been trying to hawk. ]}

Probably not, but I'm not honestly all that sure there is a technique to make this message sound appealing.

[rheecon]

[ Yikes. ]

A box? Is that that common here?

[ Look, he has an unfortunately personal interest. ]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Getting boxes of stuff you didn't ask for and may or may not be mildly insulting and-or traumatic?

Yes, yes it is.

_{[ Welcome to their world, Glen. ]}

video

[ginger_firebird]

That is...technically true for me here. I'll take one of those jackets off of you.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Seems the club is bigger than I thought. Come and get it any time you want. Got a name?
