[ Yet another new face to greet the network, and likely not for the first time, it's the face of someone who's clearly bent over backwards to try and figure out where he is and how he got here. To no avail, evidently. He's stranded, pretty much, he's managed to figure that much out.
But that's not even what's the most puzzling about all this. You see, traveling across the galaxy has made him more prone to accept that he can get snatched up, either on purpose or by accident, or even that he might trip over some dimension-breaking wormhole and end up in an alternate reality.
At least this one doesn't have another version of him (so far), so there's that.
But anyway. Onto trying to figure some things out, at least. ]
This is Captain James T. Kirk, of the USS Enterprise. I understand that likely means nothing to most of you, if not everyone, but I'll make it quick: the Enterprise is the flagship of the United Federation of Planets, operated by Starfleet, from the 23rd century, year 2263.
[ He'll skip on explaining the Federation or Starfleet for now. If anyone asks then he'll get into more detail. More pressing matters, though. ]
My ship is here, but my crew is not. Not unless I'm missing something, and if anyone can tell me where should I go to look for them, then I'd appreciate it. I... welcome the help of the Eluvio crew being on board to help me run my ship, [ No he doesn't. ] but I'd much rather have my crew, as you can likely imagine.
[ He sighs quietly, a show of frustration more than anything else. ]
On an unrelated note, would anyone mind taking a couple of hours to explain to me how currency works? I'm not... used to handling it. I'm crap at it too, if we're being completely honest. [ Seriously, does he really have to have a job? Ugh. ]
Other than that... well, I guess we're all stuck here, so I'd like to get to know everyone to some degree. So hit me up and let's chat sometime.
[ There, harmless and vague enough. And with a friendly smile, he leans in to end the feed. ]

I get what you mean. We may not have currency back in my world but people still don't just get random floorspace handed to them. You're part of a larger society and you have to contribute somehow. The notion of buying things and property is long behind us but we still don't get things handed to us on a silver platter.
[ They'd run out of space really fast, if that were the case. ]
Well, so long as you don't sign some kind of dubious contract, I guess you can try and see how it goes? At worst you can pull out if they try to get something out of you. [ Though Jim can understand all too well that Victor should be concerned about it. ]
no subject
Here's to an optimistic turn of events. That's something worth drinking for, hm?
( because Jim is right, that in theory, Victor can pull out of what he's not even into, and that he has at least not signed any contracts. that he knows of. he's not entered anything verbal, either... that he knows of. )
no subject
I'll drink to that.
[ It's not much, but all things considered, cautiously optimistic is likely the best sort of attitude while stuck here. Victor strikes Jim as the kind of person to not be tricked easily anyway, so he'll likely be careful and not let himself get too comfortable or at ease with any of this, which is a good thing. ]
