Who: Victor + you
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: S. S. Heron
When: Now-ish

[Victor is thrilled with the gift James gave him. Just as he's sure James loved all the camera equipment Victor got for him. Knowing very little about cameras, he just got a lot of different models and film types, thinking James can experiment with the medium. As for the other Jim, Victor had sent over some drawings he made. It does help that he knows what the crew of the Enterprise looks like, so he could do lots of drawings of them for Jim.

Since this is a new year and all, Victor is going to kick it off doing something he normally wouldn't do: perform in public. James got him a violin-type instrument that he's been eager to play. Why not do it in front of an audience? So he plays a song, letting a few beats of silence pass after he's done before speaking]

About a year ago, I arrived in a place called Riverview. I was bitter and lonely, and back then only wanted to focus on my work. But over the course of the year I built up friendships and met people I grew to love. I feel so lucky that one of those people is here with me now, and agreed to marry me.

I'm interested in seeing what this year will bring me.

Your playing is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

[jolting]

Glad you liked it.
I had to show off the gift my fiance gave me.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

We've met. It seems a gift well chosen.

[jolting]

I'm not surprised. He's a sociable person.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

He's very friendly. I thought I should say hello since he speaks of you highly.

[jolting]

Makes sense. I'm one hell of a doctor.

And he's one hell of a captain. It's why we go together so well.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

[Oh wow their egos match. No. That's mean. Not typing that.]

You very much agree on that. Um. I'm Robin btw.

[jolting]

[Don't worry, he knows they both have huge egos]

Good to meet you, Robin. You already know I'm Frankenstein. Just maybe not exactly the one you've read about.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I do and I've already been an arse about it to your fiancee and for that, I apologise.

[jolting]

No reason to apologize. I know what I've done, and though the details have been altered a bit, there's some truth to those stories.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I'd be curious to hear the details that are different, only if you're inclined to share them.

[jolting]

For one thing, Igor isn't a hunchback. And though he has called me "master" on occasion, it's not something I really insisted on.

And obviously I never got married.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Well, the fact that there is an Igor is different; from the book, not the film.

and obviously, you didn't die in the Antartic either

[jolting]

I don't think that's in my future.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Agreed. Pretty sure Kirk would not allow it? but should your creation start chasing you, don't go somewhere snowy?

[jolting]

I might be the one chasing him. If I ever get back home, which I'm not in any hurry to do, for obvious reasons.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I'm curious to know why?

[jolting]

Because I won't be with James. And I don't want to be where he isn't.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I figured that's a given but I meant why you would be chasing him? the 'monster' but I see your mind is on the captain as much as his mind is on you.

[jolting]

We tend to do that.

But as for that, the "monster" is my responsibility.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Sorry I don't have a name for him? and yes I suppose that's true.

[jolting]

In the book, he calls himself Adam.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I think we've determined that you are not the book though? Also i forgot.

[jolting]

Well, no offense, but I don't know you well enough to tell the whole story.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

That is fair, I've overstepped again. I will back off
