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?

You have all kinds of options, Rand. If it comes to it, I'll take some time to kill someone for you before I throw the rest of my life away.

Is Pike the only reason you even want to captain this ship? Is he the only reason you want to make something of yourself? Then why bother staying now? Why don't you just hand over command of the ship to Spock and hightail it to the nearest barroom floor?

I want to captain this ship because it's my fucking destiny. I was born to captain this ship, and I'm going to kick ass at it.

The only reason I would leave is if he died. I know he's leaving. But he's moving to a real life, and I'm just glad he gets one.

If he's dead, wouldn't that give you more reason to not screw up? To prove that he wasn't wasting his time on someone weak enough to just give up on his entire life?

Stop using your voodoo logic on me. I just know that if he dies it won't be worth it.

Well by your logic I should just book the next flight to a bar then. So I think I'll stick to my voodoo and leave your insanity to you.

Apparently when I play her, Janice's transuniversal constant is her willingness to boss Jim around and tell him how to live his life.

Why would you give up? You're great.

Because my family is dead. So by your logic, I should just curl up into a little ball and throw my life away.

No, by my logic you should throw it away when the things that matter aren't there any more. If there re still things that matter, you should keep going.

Don't steal my staff during shift anymore. I don't give a shit what you get up to other times but when they are working you need to leave them damn well enough alone.

yes Bones, because this argument is totally going to be successful when you've been banging your head nurse during shift the past 2 days....

So you're the only one who can fuck your staff on my dime?

Fuck your own staff all you want, just leave sickbay out of it instead of pulling them off shift. I don't have enough hands around here to just let them wander off.

So if I come down there, I can fuck your staff on the clock? Because I know you and Chapel just finished up, and I'm pretty sure I paid for that.

Stay the fuck out of my sickbay unless you need something, in which case I'll be more than glad to pump you full of drugs and send you on your way.

Is that the only thing you wanna pump me full of?

Listen, Bones. Chapel is a pistol in the sack. I intend to sleep with her again. If you don't want be doing it when she's on shift, you shouldn't be doing it when she's on shift. Get it?

Yeah, can't think of anything else besides common sense, but pity they don't make that.

Oh I got it, if that's how we're gonna play it.

I can a thing or two I wouldn't mind you pumping into me.

We're playing? I'm just saying that if I don't get to fuck her on the clock, neither do you.

Dream on pretty boy.

Just a manner of speech kid, don't take it so literal.

Aw, I think you're pretty, too.

I'd take you literally.

I also think you're a cocky bastard who has the maturity of a child.

Oh, I bet you would.

And I think you're a grumpy guarded angry sob who needs a hug nad is afraid to ask. What's your point?

I'd rather have it the other way, though.

No point. Just airing grievances.

Must be so hard to find someone to fuck you when you're captain. Why me?

Fair enough.

You want the truth or flattery?

Truth. I don't do flattery, if you hadn't noticed.
