startrek_diaryAfter too much time spent on the kink meme, 6street and I have decided we need a GENDERSWAP POST! It can be super cracky or super srs, depending on how you anons feel.
Set in an AU where everyone on the Enterprise was born as the opposite gender from canon, how different is everyone's lives? How has their gender affected them, how has it not? What has changed, what has stayed exactly the same?
These are all questions you need to answer. So, without further ado GO GO GO!
Also: suggested names! (You don't have to take these, but try and keep the names consistent once one gets picked):
Jaime Kirk
T'pock
Lenore McCoy
Jane Kyle
Kelly Riley
Jonathon Rand
Moira Scott
Christine Pike
Christopher Chapel
Antonia Giotto
Polina Chekova
And last but not least: (drum roll please!)
Hikaru "Don't call me Kiki" Sulu
..What? It's a unisex name,

What is it, Riley? I got your first text. You didn't need to copy-paste the whole thing and send it ten times. I was in a meeting.

For your information, I did not copy and paste a damn thing. I typed that all out. I wanted your attention.
As I was saying, you should go out with me.

I'd rather not, actually. And if you were sincere about wanting to go out with me, I should think you'd attempt to woo me with charm and consideration, and not just annoy me into submission. It won't work, by the way.

I hate these uniforms. That comms officer Nuru keeps dropping things when I walk past.

I am quite charming, Janey dear. I'm so charming you haven't blocked my comm frequency yet.
So, let's do it. Come on. One date. What's the worst that could happen?
(P.S. I will annoy you in to submission if need be, this is a war of attrition I am quite willing to fight.)

You can choose to wear pants, you know that right? Captain was just joking when she said all ensigns have to wear the mini dress.

I can imagine quite a few terrible things. You could harass me all night. You could try to grope me in public. You could get horribly drunk and humiliate me in front of my boss--oh, wait, you already did that last year when you served in engineering. So I suppose the worst has already happened. If you promise not to get so drunk you start singing, I might seriously consider this offer.

Charlie, help, I think I've got a date with Tonya tonight.
What am I gonna do? I don't even like girls!

If I sing or grope you in public tonight, may I never eat ice cream again.
Go out with me now? I'm serious about this.

No no no, I go to Requisitions, every week, they say oh next time, next time we find you one in that size, you are so slim Polina we must make special order for you, every week Kiki! I think Lt Uhura and Yeoman Rand are, the way you say it, "in cahoots".

Johnny get your ass back up here, I got Polly all freaked out again.
Damn, she's cute.

Don't call me Kiki, Polina. You know I hate it. I'm only two inches taller than you, do you want to borrow one of my spare uniforms?

You are quite persistent. I suspect that you have taken the aphorism "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again" a bit too literally.
If I go out with you tonight, will you promise not to pressure me for a second date?
no subject
Date: 2009-07-20 09:13 pm (UTC)Recipient: lt.h.sulu
Oh please yes. I will never call you that thing again. I think I love you.
I can totally rock the turn-ups look, yes?

If you don't have fun I promise to stop bugging you. I'll leave you alone entirely if that's what you want. Just give me a chance before you write me off, okay?

Hikaru, I think I need your help.
Improbably enough, I might have a date tonight (with Kelly Riley, ugh, why do I keep doing this to myself?).
I don't have a stitch of suitable clothing. All my trousers have scuffed knees from working in the Jefferies tubes. And I don't think I even own a skirt. And I haven't worn makeup since I was thirteen and my sister Olivia told me I looked like a clown with eyeshadow on.
Help!

Yeah, I might have to miss that. I'm trying to leave Kirk to sweat a little before I bring this report up; she keeps slapping my ass and claiming it's just friendly.

Fine. We can go out tonight. You win.
Tell me where you're taking me, so I know what I'm in for.

You keep going out with Kel because she's the best sex you've ever had. And you like little screwed up freckly kids.
You're definitely too tall to wear any of my clothing. Maybe ask Tonya? Your sister sounds like a bitch. I'm not exactly the person to ask for make-up advice, but I can try and help if you want.

Oh please, you don't need to wear a skirt, what is this, the 20th Century?
Do you have anything blue? Even just a sweater or something? You should transfer to Sci, it would really bring out your eyes, whereas red is just not your color. (Especially not when alcohol's involved - I'm just saying, BB)
Don't wear makeup. If you don't wear it normally you'll just freak her out. She wants you as you are, remember?

Or you could hem them, or wear them a bit higher on your waist. There are endless possibilities, Polina.
Do you still want me to teach you how to fence?

The cafe area on deck 4. That way you can escape quickly if I'm really as terrible as you seem to think I am. And if you don't think I'm that awful, then maybe we can go walk through the botany department after?

Will high-waisted not make me look fat? I cannot sew.
Yes, fencing! I am very much in the mood for hitting things with sharp pointed things right now. When are you free for a session?

Polina, I can count most of your ribs. Nothing can make you look fat. My shift is over in an hour, do you want to meet up and I can teach you the finer points of the sport.
You should probably wear your uniform, long pants would get in the way.
By the way, when is your birthday?
