voicetesting what is my life?

[nomoretrbbls]

Miss Mun,

This is absolutely absurd. You can't just take a man away from his crew and his ship just to do this thing called a voice test. Wasn't that something people in the twenty-first century did? Sit around their computers staring at their screens and playing? Some of us have better things to do like make sure every single one of those blasted creatures off my ship while ensuring that my crew doesn't get into another scuffle with the Klingons.

I don't much care for your notion of sending me to Canada.

So send me back at once.

Can you sign my face?

[nomoretrbbls]

[Okay...no. That's just weird.]

Why?

[failedparenting]

[Thankfully John has a little more dignity than Chuck. Still, fanboy.]

It's not that bad once you get there.

[nomoretrbbls]

[Thank you for not being creepy, John.]

Spending some time in the twenty-first century version of Canada would be very interesting [History geek here, after all.] but I'm afraid my duties to my crew must come first.

[failedparenting]

Part of your crew's already there, you won't be totally alone.

[He's suppressing it. Poorly.]

[paterelohim]

Ah- I'm a crazy drunk person. You should probably actually ignore me.

[It's pretty believable ngl]

I mean not the dangerous kind. I could lose a fight to a pile of straw. It's pretty pathetic.

[nomoretrbbls]

Who? The last I heard all crewmen were accounted for.

[Better than Chuck.]

[nomoretrbbls]

You should look into that program -- [What was it called?] Alcoholics Anonymous for your problem, friend.

[Yes, Captain James Tiberius Kirk just told God to go to rehab.]

I'm sure you wouldn't lose to a pile of straw. [A strong breeze maybe.]

[paterelohim]

Probably, but it makes my writing better and I need to make a living somehow.

By the way, time in these games works so when you eventually get sent home, you go back to the exact moment you left with no memory of ever being gone. You don't have to worry about the Klingons.

[nomoretrbbls]

There are other professions out there. [Jim is worried about your health, okay?]

Seems rather ridiculous to let them put us through all of that just for their amusement.

[failedparenting]

Dr. McCoy.

[But inside he's saying BONES, IT'S BONES.]

[nomoretrbbls]

Bones? What the devil is he doing there?

[Shame it's not his Bones.]

[shortarmofthelaw]

Something wrong with Canada?

Sorry, I can't resist

[vintage_fine]

Hey there, handsome.

Look, far be it from me to tell you how to feel, and I sympathize. I do. But maybe you can make the best of things.

[nomoretrbbls]

No, there's nothing wrong with Canada. It's simply that I have a ship to run, crewmen who are depending on me.

Don't be sorry! This is going to be a beautiful thing

[nomoretrbbls]

[Well hello there, good-looking.]

Considering all I've heard about this particular place, I'm not sure it's a place either of us want to be. Corrupted corporations, slaves, darkness creatures, unfriendly and violent locals. They don't want us there and they make it clear. The only reason to go is to keep Bones out of trouble. [And it's not their version of McCoy.]

You're lucky this is the Kirk you got. I have like 6 to choose from.

[vintage_fine]

I've heard very different things about Canada. But you say Bones it already there?

I would have loved any and all Kirks

[nomoretrbbls]

Apparently this is some other version of the Canada we know. Even the island these people are getting dragged to doesn't even exist. That's what I've been told.

You're welcome to TOS, TOS!mirror, XI, XI!mirror, or Jodie T Kirk :P

[vintage_fine]

Ah. One of those. I personally have never been dragged off to anything like that in this context, but I've heard on good authority that these people enjoy such pastimes.

The only thing I've found to console myself with is the idea that whatever we are is a symbol to people, and that my--our--being is one they wish to emulate.

So many! =O I always wanted old and nu Kirk to meet!

[nomoretrbbls]

This is the first time my mun has dragged me to do anything. It seems rather ridiculous of them but I suppose everyone has their hobbies.

How flattering. I simply wish they wouldn't make us their playthings. [Older Kirk will know how much the hate that.]

[bornsnarky]

Canada? What the hell, Jim?

hold on, then...

[vintage_fine]

I know what you mean. It's not exactly comforting. I'm thinking more about what they call "fanfiction," which at least generally ends with lots of sex.

I've never been on this side of one of these...

[well_notonly]

Huh. So you're James T. Kirk. I thought you'd be... taller.

[shortarmofthelaw]

I don't think that matters to these guys. I'm in the same boat...

...Except without the boat.

[nomoretrbbls]

I've started to notice that. They seem to think they're all powerful when it comes to us.
