Hello to everyone. My name is James T. Kirk, to those of you I haven't met yet.

[ The background of his room is neat and tidy, and so is he. He looks much more like himself now, particularly after a few nights of fairly decent sleep, and some time to get his thoughts back in order about the end of that mission. Anyway, this isn't necessarily a social message, so he moves along. ]

Back in my world, I'm Captain of a starship, and I'm very used to space travel, and just generally living in space. It's not too dissimilar from how things are on this station, all things considered.

I realize there are a lot of people here who aren't familiar with space travel, or only are familiar with the concept itself, mostly from movies and stories. But we are all here, for a seemingly indeterminate amount of time, and I believe it's critical that everyone on this station has at least the most basic knowledge of the science behind space travel, and how to adapt your life to space.

I know many of you are still recovering from our first mission, [ He says, tone more solemn. ] And I understand if some of you don't want to have to worry about more things yet. That's fine, we all need our own time to get our heads back on straight. But we really don't know how long this lull might last, and while we all should use that time to do some R&R, we might not have much time to further adapt to our predicament before we're thrown into another unpredictable situation.

That said, I'm going to set up some classes. We're starting with basics, and if more people want to join in later, I can look into starting a second class from that basic level again. For now it's nothing concrete or defined. I'm setting up a first session tomorrow at 2PM, at the mess hall. I'll be there for a few hours for those who want to come by, ask questions, share what you might've learned here so far with the rest of the group.

Others who are familiar with space travel and want to join me as tutors, I'll happily accept the help. If there's enough interest, I'll look into actual structured lessons, teaching materials, and a decent place on the station to hold these lessons. So if this is something you might be interested in, please let me know here, of just show up tomorrow. [ He smiles. ] I'll be glad to see you there.

[ With that he leans over to end the feed, not without a parting greeting and a small salute. ] Kirk out.

(( ooc: since I'm probably not putting up a log for this first lesson, feel free to go for action during the lesson the following day by having your character pop by! ))

[ Nothing is ever TMI with Jim Kirk. ]

I can see how that might be an issue. I would suggest asking Viveca, but she might be just as clueless as you are about it.

Any other time, I'd tell you to test it out, but that's definitely not a good idea here. Have you tried asking the more science or medical types on board? They might be able to run some tests on you and help you with that.

[What a good space man.]

oh that's a good idea. Newt ran tests on samples and stuff on me on the planet because it interacted weirdly with the curse disease thing (it went super fast for me) so maybe he might be able to tell what it's up to on normal samples too

I hope it's never and not always. I like getting bitey when I make out

[ That makes him chuckle on his end. ]

I can absolutely agree with that. Kind of sucks to have to hold yourself back during those situations, huh? You just wanna have fun and let go.

I mean, there are always ways to keep you from biting your partner. But it might not be your thing, and it's a bummer to have to do that every single time. Variety's the spice of life, as they say.

[It's just making Dusty's cheeks red, but what can you do?]

I think it'll be a while until I'm ready to experiment with ball gags haha. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to that kind of thing, but being a werewolf, I'm naturally bitey in most situations

and yeah, it sure is

[ He swears it's not his intention. (This time.) ]

Then I'd say looking into how your abilities work here first is probably your best bet. I mean, I can only speak for myself, but the sex would have to be absolutely mind-altering to come with the risk of me turning into a werewolf.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, for the record. I just like me as I am now.

[ And he's had enough terrifying transformations in the past few weeks to last him for the rest of his life. ]

[Well that sounds promising.]

no I wouldn't really expect anyone to want to become a werewolf randomly through sex and I am NOT that mindblowing, I'm sure. I like me as I am now too, but I was bitten at 5 so I can barely remember what it's like to be a normal human, honestly

thanks for the advice, by the way. when should I stop by to learn about more space stuff?

Sure, undersell yourself. That's very attractive. ;)

Well, tomorrow works if you want. I don't know when I'll be doing another open lesson like that, it depends on interest, but if you can't make it tomorrow, we can just meet up another day. Like at the labs or something, whatever works for you. Just let me know.

ouch! I wasn't underselling, though, I don't have a lot of experience so I don't actually know how good I am! tough to say without much to compare it to other than porn, you know?

I can definitely make it tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it!

Experience doesn't equal quality, trust me. Also we don't get a lot of porn where I'm from, but I hear most of it is pretty crappy.

I'll see you then.

[Dusty is almost as nervous as he is excited to meet up with James for a lesson in what he might need to know about living in space. It's a cool topic to start with, and James seems like an interesting guy. He's a little sheepish about the whole sex conversation and hoping they can just pretend that didn't happen because it was pretty embarrassing, but the excitement and nervousness are at least mostly drowning that out.

The trip to the mess hall is short and familiar and he barely notices he's already made it when he heads into the main dining area and looks around, trying to spot the guy he'd spoken to on the network. Once he sees him, he waves, smiling broadly.]

Hey, James! It's me, Dusty. We spoke on the network yesterday about space lessons?

[ For what it's worth, Jim's not at all the type to get hung on that kind of talk. It's a personal subject for a lot of people, but there's no particular reason to be embarrassed by it, in his opinion. Anyway, if his opinion on it helped any, then it can't be a bad thing. It's definitely not at the forefront of his mind when he sees Dusty waving at him, and he returns it with a smile, gesturing to the seat opposite his. ]

I remember. It's nice to meet you, Dusty— have a seat.

[ He doesn't have much on him for today; just his datapad with some information on it, a couple of books and his journal where he has a few things jotted down, but not much else. ]

So, where do you want to start?
