[Just another day in the life of Jim Kirk. He has a cup of coffee off to one side, and he's dressed in his command golds. He's not big on the network, but hey. Somebody's gotta get their hands dirty.]
Bryn Zethir is gone. She left me in charge of the Brazen Turtle, so if her employees could touch base with me so we can work out where to go from here, that'd be appreciated. Everybody else, first drink's on the house.
[A slight pause, and then he wets his lips.]
And for those of you that knew her, The Archive has returned home as well.
[That seems more like a footnote, tacked on in as casual a way as possible, but anyone who knows him knows the deflection's just an act.]

[ Bones had a debt to pay to The Archive, but looks like it's too little too late. ]
And I'll be takin' you up on that offer, Jim. Yer gonna have one helluva packed house.

It's a standing offer, Bones. Nobody needs to cash in all at once.

I hope the first drink extends to employees, as well? [She gives him her sweetest smile.]

Salut. Comma sa va?
[Just ignore his horrible pronunciation and we're good to go.]
Hey, if you want a free drink, be my guest. Just make sure it's not while you're on duty and-- aren't you a little young to be serving alcohol?

You are definitely welcome to stay on as a bartender, though. For the record.

Hey, Boss. Captain Boss. [Not only Bryn, but-]
I'm sorry to hear about The Archive. She was a nice girl.
Video;
That is quite enough out of you, Avatar Employee.
[Oooh he will fight fire with fire you bet he will.]
She is a nice girl. [Distinctions.] And I know she'll be fine back home, got a good head on her shoulders. [That he knows basically every facet of, so. He can actually speak with certainty.]

[ Nothing more than his name; Jack knew the captain was fond of Ivy and then that discussion where the spirit had passionately expressed why making the time spent here as best as it could be was so important.
"There are kids here who need a break right now, while they're here. 'Cause they're going to have to go back home one day, Jim." ]

[ Tony isn't too terribly familiar with Bryn, but he had given her money to get the Brazen Turtle going and he'd designed something for her. The Archive is someone he knows a little better, though only in the context of working in the same building. He never managed to pry her actual name out of her, and now he knows he never will. ]
Thanks for the heads up about my employee. I was starting to wonder if I ought to start issuing sick days.
no subject
[Tony's one of the turtle's Great Minds, as far as Jim is concerned. Odds are he might have a better suggestion, or even a way to verify it that Jim or his crew may not consider. But in the meantime...]
She worked with Doctor Banner, right? You wanna break the news or should I? I figure he doesn't get out of his lab often enough to check the network.

Shit.
[Her brow creases a little in concern.] Do people do that a lot? Just... disappear?
I mean, I'm sorry - [Christ, Tess, remember those things called manners?] - Sorry your friends are gone. Bryn seemed pretty smart. Uh, she just hired me last week, to do some accounting work for the bar...
Sorry, crap, this is - I'm Tess.
video;
[Which is just kind of tossed out there off the top of his head, he doesn't pay that much attention, but it's held true for the main body of his acquaintances, anyway. Some he talks to once, others-- like Ivy...
Hell, he doesn't want to think about it. Bar. Right. Focus on the bar.]
Tess, hey. I'm Jim Kirk. A friend of mine's probably going to handle the administrative side of things, but if you want to stay on balancing the accounts that's fine by me.

I come in now and again to provide entertainment as a musician. I am still willing to do that. I'm Balthazar.

Scott's been fairly lucky, all things considered, to not have had too many of his friends disappear. Oh, he's known people who've left the giant turtle, and heard more names in passing, but Bryn's the first to really leave an impact on him.]
Didn't really work there officially but I'd swing by and help her with odd jobs if she needed it. I'm willing to the same if you need it. [Oh, right.] I'm Scott.

Thank you, my dear fellow, for making that announcement.
I was not particularly enthusiastic about having to make a second such statement in a month.

[He doesn't envy anyone the job, but this guy--? If he's in Ivy's memories, Jim barely remembers him. Must be one of Bryn's, then.]
Hey, you want to swing by the bar later? Drink's on me.

[And that's not him just paying lip service, either. Barnaby knows Bryn wasn't obligated to hire him, and he isn't one to forget his debts.]
It goes without saying that I'm interested in keeping my position. If you need me to take on any extra responsibilities, I'd be willing to do that as well.
video;
Hey, yeah, of course you're still on. Right now I'm thinking I've got the responsibilities side of things covered - you met my XO yet? He's gonna handle a bunch of the paperwork and probably the stock orders and whatnot, and Tess is doing accounting. I think we'll come out ahead of the game, but I'll keep you posted, yeah?

[He's always glad to talk to her, and it shows in his expression.]
