Day 293 - Video / Action
[VIDEO]
[It's well into evening by the time Chekov, confident that he has a solid understanding of this new prison, makes use of the communication device that he was issued upon arrival. The nineteen year-old bears a striking resemblance to a current inmate. His posture is significantly better, he looks far healthier, and he has a ridiculous accent, but there may still be confusion.]

This is Lieutenant Pavel Andreievich Chekov of the starship Enterprise. I would ask anyone who is affiliated with Starfleet to respond to this message, please.

[Not the most subtle of hails, but he doesn't want to risk missing fellow officers by taking a stealthier approach. Why put effort into being subtle, anyway? Isolated prison universes are very different from, say, alien planets; Starfleet's rules regarding contact with new lifeforms hardly apply.

Business out of the way, the Russian abandons the careful diction and formal tone for something warmer and more personable.]

Is there anyone who is interested in speaking with me? I find foreign universes very lonely and boring when everyone is still a stranger.

[ACTION]
[Chekov spends the day investigating sectors one, two, and three, taking a special interest in the maintenance bots that are busy cleaning up after the storm. The food carts in sector one also capture his attention. As soon as he decides that it would be ridiculous for those in charge to poison those they wish to rehabilitate, he becomes intent on tasting everything that is both edible and unfamiliar. When imprisoned, it's always wise to take advantage of any hospitality offered.

He keeps the headset off as often as possible. It's an annoying contraption--not nearly as sleek and unobtrusive as devices at home with similar functions. Should anyone address him in a language that he doesn't understand, however, he's perfectly willing to put it back on, as is polite.]

	[Korra's carefully going around the sectors, trying to make sure that there's no one else as stupid as that newbie from before, spending so much time staring off into space that he almost got brained by debris. When she sees a familiar figure in the distance, she doesn't actually recognize him. She shouts out —] Hey, Nathan! Be careful! (Reply to this) (Thread)

[Even though his name is not Nathan (it doesn't matter how many people think otherwise), Chekov turns upon hearing Korra. He grins like someone who has just happened across a friend he didn't think he would see again, which is apt, and runs over to greet her. The headset gets slapped back into place as an afterthought.]

Korra! Before I hug you enthusiastically, I must ask--do you remember me?

	[Korra just stares as he runs closer. Is it really —] Of course I remember you! [She proves just how much she remembers him with a bone-crushing hug.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He latches onto her like a koala bear. None of the ows are terribly sincere, really.] Have you been here for long? How like the City is it? How are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Woah slow down! One question at a time! [She really doesn't understand why the headset bothers translating his accent. When he gets excited and talks quickly, he's almost impossible to understand. (Admittedly, she would miss the accent if it was gone.)] I've been here awhile now. You were here too, for a day. You don't remember? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-10-20 02:09 am UTC (link)
	[Translation devices hate him. True story. He does, however, slow down when he hears that he should have some memory of being here.] No, I don't remember. I hope that I did not tell you anything exciting that I was hoping to tell you now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Korra shakes her head.] No. We were kinda occupied. [With her pearl-related problems.] So how long have you been here? I mean, I can tell this is your first day, but have you gotten the run down yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

With nothing dire, I hope? [Just, you know, making sure. Not that they would ever be preoccupied with a dire situation.]

Eh... sixteen hours? [Since Korra doesn't seem to be disappearing or anything, he detaches himself from her.] Yes, I have learned as much as I could with the limitations placed on the device that I was given. I can't access anything other than the information provided by the wardens and posts made within the last day. How are we supposed to know anything with so little access to past events?

	[Korra shrugs. It hadn't even occurred to her to try and look at earlier.] Talk to people, I guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-10-26 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	Talk to people. [How quaint. Honestly, how do people live with talking as the primary means of sharing information?] I spoke with Neil from the City. From what he said, I would guess that this place is more like the City than not...? But that isn't important. Have you been well? Has anything happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's like asking if anything's happened in the City. [Seriously, Chekov. Where does she even begin?] Evidently a different version of me used to be here before. I got stuck for a few weeks with a black pearl that ate my feelings. There's a huge kerfuffle about some vampire. And there's a sicko with your face who put a woman in the hospital. [Oh, yeah, that might be pretty important to Chekov.] You might want to be careful.

	[Unsurprisingly, he accepts all of this as calmly as a person might accept a favorable weather report.] I have been told that I look similar to someone who is here already, yes. Why should I be careful? Is vigilante justice a problem here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-11-01 04:34 am UTC (link)
	When am I not careful? [Don't answer that.] Now... are you busy? I would to spend time with you, if you aren't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-11-02 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	I am never too busy for you. Come on, let's get some food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-11-03 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes, okay. [He grabs her arm and starts dragging her in a completely random direction. You'd think he hadn't spent most of the day snacking.] You will need to show me where the best food is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-11-04 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Korra laughs and tugs him in the other direction.] It's not in that direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-11-05 03:38 am UTC (link)
	[Oh, well. The other direction it is, then! He's far too pleased to act like this was the direction he meant to go the whole time because of course he already knows where everything is, shut up.] There is something important that I should tell you. [He's being extremely Fake Serious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You're such a cat, Chekov.] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-11-08 05:56 am UTC (link)
	You have noticed that I'm underappreciated by my crew, of course, but they finally acknowledged that my contributions are invaluable and awarded me with a promotion. [He doesn't really think that he's unappreciated. He is, however, absurdly proud of his relatively new rank.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-11-11 02:39 am UTC (link)
	That's great! [Korra reaches out to pick him up and swing him around in her excitement.] So what are you now? Captain? Vice Captain? [She still has no idea how rank works.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-11-21 02:44 am UTC (link)
	[It's a good thing that Chekov too little dignity to be bothered by this treatment!] Lieutenant! I'm still several ranks away from Vice Captain, sadly. It will still be years before I can invite you aboard a ship that I command. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-11-25 02:03 am UTC (link)
	[Assuming they even get out of here, though now that Chekov's arrived, it seems slightly more possible. Not that Chekov was actually involved in getting them out of the City, but still.] Your captain was pretty young, wasn't he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-12-04 01:50 am UTC (link)
	[Chekov didn't think that he would ever see Korra again after the City. The fact that he was wrong and they're both here means that almost anything is possible.] Yes, but he is also very lucky. Anyway, no one will take me seriously as a captain until I'm older. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
