Side Game: Dystopia

In the world you are entering, there is a Federation. There is an Enterprise. There is even a Captain Kirk.

But in this world, they are not as you know them.

George Lowther, 27, is the captain of the pirate ship known throughout the galaxy as the Enterprise. Of course, he's not the real George Lowther, and neither was the man before him, a fellow called Chris Pike. They're in the process of trading the identity, so Pike can retire, having made his fortune. The new Lowther, real name James T. Kirk, has hired on a crew, and they're off on their first voyage, affiliated with the Federation of Interstellar Pirates.

So. How's the crew doing? And, of course, who's fucking?

I will be keeping all my staff happy. If I don't, I expect you'll be kicking my ass.

You can't. Duh.

AHAHAHAHA, SO YOU WERE. There needs to be fic about that. I'm pretty sure I prompted it, but never got a fill, unfortunately.

Okay, one, I had no idea that there was even an arts and crafts cupboard on the Enterprise, and two, fucking in spilled glitter has to be the best thing ever. Except now I look like reject from Twilight.

Yes, I know. Get paid, keep people happy, don't die, try to have fun. I think that one's beat into me by now.

We can even make you a "World's Best Dad" mug.

As it should be. It's overwhelming at first but you'll figure it out, there's a rhythm to it.

I'll have to put it next to my 'Evil Thieving Pirate' mug.

You ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't found me that night?

Did I make you that one?

there really isn't. Glitter has magical powers of getting everywhere you don't want it.

Can't say I care to. I did find you, that's what matters.

Your mother did of course.

I think about it. Sometimes. I think I'd either be a smear on the pavement, or a pleasure slave somewhere.

Of course. I forget about that. I guess I get it from her.

Don't dwell too hard on it. You've come a long way since then. Doesn't matter where you were, just where you are.

Oh yes, the propensity for giving me shit seems to run in the family.

Yeah, well. Being Captain Lowther is much more awesome than being a pleasure slave. You um. I owe you one, is what I'm trying to say.

Giving you AWESOME shit.

Hey, I'm glad to hear you and McCoy are getting along. He'll be joining me for my bridge officer's dinner this evening. You should come, too. Make sure you know everyone.
