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?

Then you got old.

Fine. Tease.

I figure he'll get over that and either develop sexy Stockholm syndrome or realize that we're actually not terrible people, just trying to make a living.

I know. But I have literally had to avoid Pike fic lately over it and I'm starting to get over it and since I don't have much inclination for Pike/Tony besides 'woo hot' it would be difficult for me to do rn.

THAT SOUNDS REALLY REALLY CUUUUUUUUTE.

Long, complicated, characterization things and who he should be shipped with and tos vs aos, and whether poly ships work for Pike and there's a fic that broke me and I'm about to drive 6 hours home so I can't get into it now.

Oh. Well it didn't say they were involved. Maybe they're friends who go way back despite that one is a pirate and one is a pirate hunter? And Tony wants to "capture" Chris so he can get the bounty so he can retire on it, and isn't bothered because he knows Chris will escape the minute he does?

Ok that we could do, though with Jim taking over the name there wouldn't really be a bounty since Pike wouldn't be wanted as himself. And If you'd like me to pick up someone else for Tony I'd be up for that since I'm raining on parades with my current hangups.

Yep. It's not as bad as you might think.

He'll get over it, just about everyone does. And sexy stockholm syndrome is much less sexy than you might think.

Well, that's true. Idk, maybe it's some elaborate plan where he's going to nab both of them as a final test for Kirk or something? Then he'd get the bounty on Lowther whichever one the officials thought it was, Chris could retire, Kirk could take over the ship on his own with some bs about how Chris didn't make it out alive and he needs a new XO, how about you, you pointy-eared weirdo, and Tony can go live on some back planet with his kids (finally), who are the only reason he wants to retire in the first place.

Eh, I'll think about it, but I don't really have anyone specific (other than Chris, but that's a given thing) that I wanna ship him with.

Yeah, yeah hold your horses. I'm doing you a favor, don't make me change my mind.

You make funny old man noises when you sit down.

I know. He's just hostile as fuck right now. And of course it isn't. I was mostly joking. I was a crew that can work without me, and will come and get me if I get stolen.

Yeah, I'm doing you a favor too. I can't believe you're really trusting that little snot with your ship. You really think he can get away from the Starfleet's security without slowing you down?

OK I NEED TO GO NOW. I'll be around tonight, we can figure out shenanigans later. Pike is retiring with the woman who has been hunting him down for several years who is One if you like (I do no surprise there, but Pike's not gonna say shit on the subject), he has something planned with his old friend Tony, etc.

So.

Also I can't get Misdreavus in Diamond and this disappoints me. :(

Just you and me. Shall we ruin everyone's ships? Chekov/Spock, Sulu/McCoy?

That sounds very complicated.

[identity profile] captlebubbles.livejournal.com 2010-06-01 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
OKAY.

edit: It's not, really, just disappointing. I can get a Stunky though, and they're pretty cute. Also I can get a Drifloon and that pleases me.

[identity profile] captlebubbles.livejournal.com 2010-06-01 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
ALL RIGHT WHICH ONES DO YOU WANT? ACTUALLY I WANT SPOCKLES AND I GUESS IF YOU HAVE MCCOY I TAKE SULU?

EDIT: Drifloon are cute and one of the main reasons I wanted to play a gen 4 game, so I could raise one. Also my pink Shellos is named Janny and she's cute. I'ma catch a blue Shellos as soon as I can and name it Joey. :3
