[ Video + Action ] We Are Not Amused
Who: Jim Kirk + You!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, in the shopping areas
When: Today
[ 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.
[ 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 ]
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 ]
[ 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 - ]
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. ]

Yeah, so am I.
[ He looked at her for a minute. ]
There's no reason to feel awkward about it, or asking me questions about it. I'm fine talking about it now, like I said.
[ He waggled the jacket in his hand. ]
Certainly Atroma doesn't have a problem.

[ She IS curious. ]
How did it happen?
no subject
Long story short? My ship was sabotaged and our engine cores were out of place. There wasn't time for proper protection, so I went right into the engine core chamber and knocked it back into place. Problem is, the cores are nuclear. As soon as it went online, much less when I was initially in there, I got hit with a blast of radiation. Unprotected, it killed me in fifteen minutes. Pretty much every organ failed at the exact same time.
[ He states it all matter of factly. If it hurts, he doesn't show it. It wasn't the happiest moment in his life, naturally, but it was an aspect he couldn't run from, and a reminder of how he had even gotten to that point in the first place. Never again. Not for those reasons. ]

He did it to protect his ship? His crew. And that sounds like a horrible way to die. ]
...That was very brave of you.
no subject
I was - am - the captain. And my shitty decisions put us in that position. I couldn't let other people die for that.
[ Other people had, and he had learned to accept and live with that. One had to, as a captain. ]

Heh, thank you, Princess. I hope you haven't had to make similar decisions.

I hope such good fortune continues for you, for all of you. Lance has told me a bit about the war that's happening, but... well it doesn't seem like a subject for keeping spirits up, obviously.
