Side Game: Dystopia

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

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?

Oh yes. Knew you were too pretty to be a boy.

I... Thank you I guess. But it's not worth your time. There's no way.

I guess we just have different definitions of "save."

But Sam isn't hiding. Anyone looking that hard would find him first.

I am very pretty.

I don't believe in no win situations.

You got yourself out of a bad situation through your wits. I call that saving.

No, if they look at you, go digging and see your birthdate matches Sam's they'd stop digging because they'll think they have you pinned. They see George's and two thoughts go through their head: that they're being played and that you know what you're doing. Chances are they'll even chalk up the resemblance to luck and assume you're just a nobody playing off his legacy.

Eh, you're alright.

She's not going to reply to this. She's probably going to go cry in her quarters.

So are you.

I never met a situation I couldn't lick, sweetie. Anyone looking at a no-win situation is looking wrong.

JIm wants to speak to you at some point before anything moves forward. I already said how in person would be nearly impossible so just comms. Wanted to give you a heads up early. I haven't told him who you are (besides that you're fleet) yet, but I'll see if we can't get that over with today. Smart money is on him taking a swing at me.

Still spy searching, our two main suspects are both clear. No hits on that list of moles unfortunately. We're digging in deeper and watching all communications though so we'll figure it out soon enough.

Listen, Rand, what are your feelings on ice cream?

Eh, shut up.

Maybe you just ain't met enough of them yet. Or you're crazy, that seems likely too.

What are you going to do? Poison me and throw me out an airlock?

No. Because I have a craft closet stocked with crayons and coloring books and I like to have ice cream and company when I color. I'm inviting you.

You are NEVER too old for ice cream and coloring. I have glitter crayons.

GLITTER CRAYONS ARE THE BEST.

What are glitter crayons? And how are they different from regular crayons?

[(Anonymous)]

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Rand, Janice

They are crayons with glitter in the wax. They make everything shiny. If you don't love glitter crayons, you are officially old. Like, Pike old.

I've never used one before. Do they sparkle?
