[ Jim has actually been here for a day (or night) already!! But Jim Kirk being Jim Kirk, got distracted from the important questions of 'where am I' and 'how is this even possible' by a pretty NPC who happened to find all his babble about being a really important guy at home to be cute. But now that it's the day-after, he's decided to be somewhat responsible and reach out ]

Oh my God this technology is old it belongs in a museum.

ANYWAY, melodramatics over, Hi my name's Jim Kirk and I'm stuck at the corner of Fulton and Water, and I need a ride and a new shirt. Got a little sidetracked the day before and lost track of things; great story, but a little off topic so I'll save it for later.

And while I'm asking for favors, I'd also really love a new pair of shoes and maybe a ride back to San Francisco instead, but seeing how I'm already in the wrong century I'm guessing the last one won't matter too much.

In order of preference: ride, shoes, shirt.

Kirk out.

[ oh, look. it's a red volkswagen van parked somewhere that is not right downtown in the city. ]

She needs a name, but I kind of suck when it comes to naming vehicles. My last bike was Joan and that's about as creative as I can get. Anybody got any suggestions?

Or ideas for travel destinations. Those work too. I've got a week off work and it'd be nice to get out of the City for a bit. I've never really been anywhere other than Iowa and San Fran, so pick a US city, any US city, and tell me why it's great.

So... we've got possible shape-shifting aliens, people freaking out about them, deaths on the public Network — where there are kids, might I remind you all — and autopsies of said shape-shifting alien. I'm guessing attempting diplomacy either failed or never occurred to anyone?

[ there's a pause and then jim lets out an annoyed little huff. ]

By the way, guys? Next time you want to warn someone about a possible hostile alien race, there's better ways of doing it than killing one on camera and then dropping little bits of information about them here and there.

But since we're all talking about alien races and cultures... Tell me about the ones you've got in your home universes, City. I'm sure there's a handful of people that know about ones in mine, but I'd be happy to talk about ones I've encountered anyways.

I've decided I'm sick and tired of ordering take-out all the time, so I'm going to learn how to cook. [ lol guess who didn't tell his roomie about this. ] I've got one recipe book, but if anyone's got any suggestions for things to try, they'd be very welcome.

[ there's a pause here and then, in a slightly more hesitant tone: ]

I might also need to know where I can buy a fire extinguisher.

[ the video opens and it's just a view of the night sky from the roof of the mac, clouds drifting overhead and then dark blue encompassing the entire frame. it's a moment or two before jim starts to speak. ]

It's nice that the stars haven't changed much. Even if you can't really see them in a city this size because of all the light pollution. Which is bullshit, everyone should get a chance to see them light up the sky, since not everyone can see them from up there. Yet, at least.

[ there's a bit of a pause before jim sighs quietly ]

How many of you have actually been up there? Anybody done it in this universe or just back home?

[ so the opening of this post looks kind of like something out of blair witch. just a lot of jumbled camera movement, indistinct shapes, and the sound of running. there may or may not be some breathless giggling mixed in there too. finally, sulu’s face appears onscreen. ]

So I can cross cow-tipping off my bucket list now.

Told you it would be great! [ jim is maaaaybe a little high on adrenaline as he leans against sulu’s shoulder after he says that. he grins as he looks down at the comm, completely ruining his serious voice; that he puts on for a second. ] Kids, don’t try this by yourselves at home. … Not that there’s any cows in the City.

Also be prepared to run and run fast. Because cow-tipping is not something you want on your record.

[ sulu is full of good advice. and possibly worried that the owner of said cows was in possession of a firearm. he did not nearly die on that drill to show up here and get blown away by an angry farmer. ]

And cow hooves hurt like a bitch if they happen to stomp on your feet. So says the voice of experience.

[ god, he is such a farmboy. people, make fun of him. sulu looks like he’s considering it because lol jim what are you even. ]

So... [ crap what now. sulu really didn’t think this through beyond “i gotta tell someone i just did that” ] there actually is something to do in Iowa if you’re bored.

This is pretty much the only thing to do in Iowa when you’re bored, but it’s not like we’re a tourist hot-spot anyways.

There’s maybe a thousand people here. Maybe. It’s quiet. [ except for that shouting in the distance... ] Kirk, we should... [ get moving. except sulu conveys that thought with an eyebrow wiggle instead of using his words. jim nods, and then the feed cuts abruptly. ]

[ this is a video feed of jim's coffee table. it's a small, wood table that looks a little worse for wear. there are various science and mechanics magazines strewn across it along with a copy of time and one national geographic. there's a few empty beer cans and what looks like left over broccoli chicken still in the little take-out box sitting precariously on the corner.

this description is very important. ]

Please tell me someone else sees the hamster there and I'm not going crazy.

Getting pulled here the first time? That was kinda cool, especially since I was lucky enough to not stick around long.

[ oh, hey, city. guess what. it's that one guy from that one movie based on that one tv show. he's back again. ]

Getting pulled here the second time? Not anywhere near as fun. I wasn't even back on my ship a full day, and it looks like this place has seen a lot more time than that. A few months, if the paper is anything to go by.

[ he pauses, and then there's an obvious smile in his voice when he speaks again. ]

So who's up for filling me in on what I missed?

This is Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise, not that it's going to mean much in this century. As much as I appreciate being regarded as a hero, I'm afraid I really need to get back to my crew. I would actually like to go on the five year mission we just started and it's kind of hard to do that when I'm here. And not on my ship.

Plus, the boys in Temporal Investigations have a tendency to get snippy and they've already had to put up with me explaining one temporal anomaly recently.

[ there's a pause and then he laughs a little, and his grin is audible when he speaks again. ]

Though I have to say, being called Captain Awesome? Not the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

So. Everyone.

Let's say a guy, like myself, were looking for some kind of job. Anyone know what's hiring, or where's actually worth looking into? I have plenty of skills I could apply in various ways. Starfleet education, you know.

Guess I could look in the newspaper, but that seems so weird to me. SO I'm asking all of you instead!

starfleetshero.livejournal.com

Man, I never thought I'd be able to say I lived to see 2010. What a weird concept.

starfleetshero.livejournal.com

Oh what the hell. Here I thought I'd escaped this place.

Well, Merry Christmas Jim, guess you get to spend all your time not in space.
Fuck this. Soon as I figure out what I did last time, I am so outta here.

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Oh what the hell! This place again? Goddamnit, I don't want to be back here. How'd I get out before? Seriously time for a repeat performance.

Weird thing was, everyone was still on the ship when I was, so...

This alternate reality shit gets on my nerves.

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

I feel like the world just went on fast-forward for awhile. Crazy shit.

[Locked to Spock, Chekov, McCoy]

You guys still around? Still alive and kicking? I sure hope so.

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Guy tries to take care of himself and everything falls apart, how do you like that?

Ensign Chekov, I'd like a word with you at your earliest convenience. Been awhile since we talked anyway, figure we're overdue.

As for these tribble things, man, they just seem to be all over. Worse than mice!
Bones - er, McCoy - do you know anything about these guys? Spock, how about you?

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

That fight sucked. I guess, at least we did what we set out to do.

Then the power outage, what the fuck was that about?

My head still hurts.

[Private to Cameron Hodge; encrypted]

You can have this back now. Thanks for letting me use it. It's undamaged, so don't worry about that. I'll probably wait a day or so to bring it to you. Not feeling real well.

[[ooc: Jim got banged up pretty good a couple days ago fighting Alucard and is kind of in a mood. All replies voice unless otherwise noted.]]

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Okay guys (and gal), here's the game plan.

Giovanni and Magato are leading the attack. Since both of you guys can regenerate, it makes sense to have you go in first. Not all of us are quite so lucky.

Caesar and Spock, you're with me. I have weapons for both of you. They're guns, so you shouldn't need to be close enough for him to attack you. He seems to have distance attacks, though, so can't guarantee that you won't be in danger. To tell you the truth, you probably will be. We all will.

The weapon I have, well...we're hoping that it's going to temporarily remove the vampire's powers. I have no idea if this is actually going to work, so we need to be prepared for it to not work.

The goal is to get him from [location] to the river, [location]. It's not going to be easy to get him into that water. He must know his own weakness. But we've got to get him there, either by luring or by force.

Iceman and Elika, you're the supernatural guys. I'm hoping that your power in particular, Elika, can force him back. Hopefully he'll be susceptible to the light. Stay back, though, I don't want you engaging him directly. I'm not sure what kind of range you power has, but the further away you are, the better.

Same with you, Iceman. If you can shield anyone, like I said, do so. If you can't, just work on pushing him back. The goal is to get him in the water...and have you freeze him there.

It was suggested to me that the dawn will subdue him, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Anyone have an answer for me? Because I'm hoping that answer will be "yes."

Slo-bo, I'm not sure where to place you, man. You seem like a hands-on kind of guy, but if you just go running in there, you're gonna get hurt. Think you can play nice with the other guys leading the attack?

Thoughts, comments, complaints, backing out at the last second? Now's the time.

[TOTALLY locked from Giovanni and Magato]

If you can see this part of the post, listen up real carefully.
I don't trust these guys. Can't say I like their attitude. Keep a real close eye on them if you can. I can't be everywhere at once, and they both have regenerative powers.
Just a feeling I have. You know, that "doesn't work well with others" thing.

Like I said, guys, just...pay attention, okay? Real close attention.

[[ooc: OTL I am so late, what the hell happened. We'll probably have to backdate this. I've already spoken to Alucard-mun, but I don't know what anyone else's ooc plans are! SO I am putting up a thread on the OOC board for coordination. PLEASE save my brain the hurt and head on over there. Feel free to respond IC to this post, though, of course!

ALSO A NOTE: This filter does not allow Major or Enshellstein to see it!]]

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

All right, volunteer team.
I'd have liked to have more of you, but I can understand why some people might be a little worried about the opponent we're facing.

First off, to anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Captain James T. Kirk. You can call me Jim, or you can call me Captain, or sir, or whatever floats your boat. Stay away from "James," though. Too stuffy that way.

I have some information on this guy that I'm gonna be briefing you all on before we head out. What I'd like from those of you I don't know, which is all but one of you, is the following:

One: what's your superpower? Silly, I know! But I gotta know so I can figure out the best strategy.
Two: what's your previous combat experience? Any supernatural battles you can tell me about?

[A pause.]

Your names would be nice, too, if I haven't gotten them.

[PRIVATE to Cameron Hodge; encrypted]

Sir, if I could have a word with you a.s.a.p., I'd appreciate that.

[ooc: Because I can't do this all in one post, here is what I am going to do. As soon as everyone pings in to answer Jim's question, I'm going to update this entry with whatever is necessary to share about Alucard. I may have to update one more time after that to formulate an IC game plan, as well. SO, in short, please keep an eye on this entry so I don't have to bother the mods to let me spam the comm.]

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Okay, city.
So here I am, minding my own business, checking out the network. And what do I see?

THIS crazy asshole! Why the hell isn't anyone doing anything about it?

I'm not sure what his superpower is, but it looks pretty bad. I think it's time for a little damage control.
Can I get some volunteers, here?

[ooc: Oh yes, Jim honestly plans to fight Alucard. Anyone got any silver bullets?]

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Anyone have any luck killing Polymorphs yet? I saw that "lethal force" should be used. I'm fine with that, but here's a trivia question, based on what I've seen other people say:

If this thing takes the form of something that's supposed to effect you emotionally, unless it incites you to homicidal rage, how are you actually going to be able to kill it? Let's say it turns into someone really important to you that isn't here. Who's honestly going to pull the metaphorical trigger?

Just food for thought.
Is there any other way?

[Locked to the Enterprise crew]

Status report, guys.
You okay, or did the Polymorphs get you?

[ooc: for reference, Jim is not affected.]

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

Looking around for you guys isn't getting me anywhere fast enough for my liking.

Chekov. A lot of people know your name, so I want a full report on what you've managed to find out. I know you've got something.

Spock. You got anything on that porter? I heard it's only one way for the most part, but I don't believe that.

I can't contact the ship or anyone on it. My guess is that you're both having that problem to. Now that I got my bearings, I want to fix that.

Don't keep me waiting, fellas!

noimthecaptain.livejournal.com

This sure is some primitive technology, huh? Transporter isn't so bad, only it doesn't seem to work both ways. Not that I know much about how it works. But it apparently jammed my communicator.

You land on one little planet for one minute, and the damn transporter goes crazy? I call bullshit.

What the hell is this, anyway? Time travel?

Hell no. I've heard enough about time travel in the past year. I don't want to hear about it anymore.

Please let this be some kind of, uh, hallucination...
