Day 389 | Video + Action
[ Video ]

_{[ By the time Kirk decides to experiment some with the little device, he has managed to ditch the orange prison uniform and get himself into a normal shirt and pants. The jump suit had been humiliating as it was, he wasn't about to go looking for answers still wearing it. Not to mention orange was definitely not his color. ]}

Okay, so does anyone want to actually explain this situation to me? Because so far I've gotten the idea that some rogue AI have kidnapped me and I assume everyone else here. Needless to say, I'm taking what they're saying with a grain of salt.

_{[ Least because many of the more dire charges were, to him, quite justifiable considering most of them were done while saving lives. Some of those lesser ones he really couldn't argue (like cheating, whoops), but some on. This was ridiculous, not to mention where was his due process? ]}

And beyond that - please tell me that we can actually get booze in this prison. I have a feeling I'm going to need a drink to absorb all this.

_{[ In other words, he is freaking out inside but refuses to show it because his James Tiberius Kirk, damn it, and he is extremely salty over this turn of events. Can't he ever just get a normal shore leave? ]}

[ Action ]

_{[ His "invitation" sent, Kirk continued to wander around the prison - mostly Sector 0 and parts of Sector 1 for the moment as it seems, to him, to be a central sort of place for the prison. It's as natural a place to start as any, and regardless of how irritated he was at the situation, his stomach did not care. He found himself taking up some of the street food. Honestly he should have worried more about things they might have put in there, but if he didn't start doing some sort of activity he really would lose it. Eating was good as anything here, helping him to bide his time and keep his patience.

Don't judge him for picking the most homely food he could find - a corndog and fries. ]}

Uh.... sure. [Mal has no idea what kindergarten is.]

Alcohol though. Sizzle and sear has some stuff, though they've a two drink maximum. Daffodil Dive can be good, if you don't mind bright colors. Used to be the Devil's Compass, but the guy who ran it turned out to be a murderer and then disappeared. Woman who took over is a bit sunny. Winery is a littel too frou frouy. Lyrical ain't bad, but you have to deal with someone singing half the time yer there.

[Mal's clearly intimate with the bar scene.]

	_{[ He could tell the other had no idea what he was talking about, but that wasn't the important thing here so he let it go. ]} Well according to the wardens, I'm a murderer too, so I'm not sure I should be judging anyone here with that on their rap sheet. Daffodil sounds about my speed, though, or Lyrical. I'm a country dive bar sort of man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal shook his head.] No... I think most of us are considered murderers according to the wardens. This guy dismembered a fellow inmate and left the parts around for his partner to find. But like I said, the girl who took it over seems a bit less insane and makes a really good pie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

_{[ There's a rather concerned look on his face now, because wow that was not what he was expecting, and he had seen and heard some crazy crap in his life. Been part of it too. ]}

I don't think that's a very high bar to get over, really, but pie does sound nice. I can't remember the last time I had a fresh baked piece of pie.

You talk about that guy in the past tense. Is he not here anymore? Anyone else to watch out for?

He's gone. Disappeared shortly after the incident. Which is why Chuck took over and rebranded. As for watchin' out... suppose that depends. Mostly people here either try to get along, or leave each other be. Every once in a while, the wardens get a bug up their asses and decide to mess with us, and then there's no tellin' what might happen.

Also have to watch out for the denizens of sector 6.

	"Mess with us"? That sounds... ominous. As does being told to watch out for Sector 6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-08-30 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Mess with us. It's... you'll know it when you see it." That's really the best he can give. IT's so different every time it comes about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whoops, those quotes were not meant to indicate speaking, more like verbal air quotes, my bad universal_charm 2016-09-01 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Maybe you should give me an example. Just so I have a heads up, just in case. _{[ Don't let his imagination eat at him Mal, please, that's cruel. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Realized that later. I'm terrible about switching to Prose on accident. cptn_tightpants 2016-09-05 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	Well... Sometimes they send us hallucinations. Or we switch bodies with someone. Once I woke up with the head of an ass. Occasionally the velociraptors get out of Sector 6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-09-12 01:56 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry - velociraptors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-09-12 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	Dinosaurs. From Earth-that-was. Before humans populated it. Long long time ago. Thought they were jus' legends to be honest til I met some here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-09-22 12:50 am UTC (link)
	No, I know what a dinosaur is - I'm from an Earth world too. I was just checking to make sure I heard you right because why are there velociraptors in a prison? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-09-24 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Hell if I know! Not much makes sense here. We're more lab rats than anything. Jus' be careful if you go to sector 6. They're fast and mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-09-24 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	_{[ This pretty much guarantees he is going to go check out Sector 6 but cross that bridge when they get there. ]} Anything with the term 'raptor' in it suggests that, to be honest. Do I want to know why and how velociraptors got down here? Probably not - I don't have that drink yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-09-27 10:15 am UTC (link)
	If you do want to go to sector six, a horse and a pitchfork might not be a bad idea. I've taken a few of them out with that before. ... An there's this kid... Chekov. He ain't bad to have around. Annoying as hell, but might've saved my life. Drinks are at th'Dive. I can meet you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-09-27 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Taking on dinosaurs with pitchforks. I don't think that's ever how it happened in the movies. _{[ He shook his head and then brightened at the mention of Chekov. ]} Hah, believe me, I have first hand experience on that. I'm Chekov's captain. Dive, got it. I... well I'll be there when I find it, so probably save me a spot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-09-28 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	[There's a lot to talk about in Kirk's last reply, but it can wait. Mal nods and cuts the feed. When Kirk next finds him, Mal's at the bar along with two whiskey's and a Chinese Checkers set.] Captain eh? Me too. Captain Malcom Reynolds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-09-29 12:34 am UTC (link)
	_{[ Ask away, Mal, when you're ready. As it is, he makes his way to the bar and smiles when he sees the Checkers set, a little bright spot in a somewhat sour day. ]} Pleasure to meet you, Captain. If you haven't heard from Pavel, I serve the Enterprise. _{[ He held out his hand for a proper shake as he took a seat. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-09-29 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Mal... [More so Mal doesn't have to call him Captain.] Does he always claim everythin's from Russia by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-10-02 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Hah, Mal it is. Just Jim for me. Never did like the formality of it all. _{[ He laughed at that as he sat, giving a fond shake of his head. ]} He does and claims his Russian grandmother told him, and I just never have the heart to argue with his Russian grandmother. Or anyone's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-10-05 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Jus' so long's my crew remembers I'm their captain I don't rightly care. [He pauses a moment.] Though Jayne could stand to have it beat into his head a few more times as to who runs the ship. [He laughs then.] Interestin' kid your Chekov. Smart as a tack even when drunk, and yet so naive. Bit of an odd juxtaposition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-10-12 01:28 am UTC (link)
	It's a bit hard to lay off the formality when your commander is a stickler for regulation. And honestly it's for the best when I have a crew of about four hundred. _{[ He laughs too, smiling proudly at the compliment to one of his own. ]} Well, there's room for it where we come from. And I like that about him. Optimism in my crew is a good thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-10-20 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's why you stay away from commanders and regulations. Ain't done much with either since the war ended. [He laughs a little.] Kaylee's our optimist. So shiny, you can practically see her glowin'. (Reply to this) (Parent)
