[ 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. ]

[ Because it really doesn't matter the difference in their ages, Jim still appreciates that she tries to comfort him to some degree. At her reaction to 3D chess, though, he snorts then laughs, grinning wide in amusement. ]
Chess is great, are you kidding? [ God, what were they teaching kids way back when. (No just kidding.) ] I can explain it to you, if you want me to, but it's easier in person. [
Also the mun doesn't know nearly enough to play it out either.]no subject
And then a mild look of surprise at the other before she becomes a little wary and uncertain. It's not like she'd never had friends besides her sister before, but her first instinct had been to respond asking if Mayu could come too. Or maybe to say she'd have to check with her first.
Either way, it had been a sudden, bitter reminder for her own loneliness. But considering she'd jsut gotten done reassuring kirk about not being alone, she can hardly sink into her own moment of despair. So, feeling more like she's forcibly clawing her way out of a hole, she huffs a little laugh and glances away]
I think you just want to kick someone's butt in chess to make yourself feel better. [a pause and she nods, looking back] But sure, why not. It could be a little fun. [She's joking, because she really is interested despite herself
and it's fine this mun knows fuck all about chess too] We could meet at the atrium?no subject
He chuckles a bit at her answer, acting as if he didn't even notice the way her expression faltered. ] Not sure it'd help feed my ego much to beat a beginner. [ Even if she were a natural, Jim's extremely skilled, so he's confident he wouldn't lose against her. ]
Alright, sounds good. [ He nods. ] Give me a couple of hours? I need to figure out a way to make a 3D chess board. [ He figures the pieces won't be as hard to come by. ] After that, I'll be good to go.
