[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.]

[He shakes his head a little.]

You could, I mean-- never say no to publicity, right? But I was thinking more along the lines of announcing who's gone. Kind of-- you know, macabre, but I know I sure as hell don't check the network all that often.

[skybluejeep]

Oh! Oh.

[He's already thinking hard, his lips pursed together, and then he nods.]

Yes. Yeah, I'll do it. List since Eshai died? Or going back further?

[jirk]

I think since she died would work, yeah?

[Is he seriously Accidental Captaining at teenaged boys now? Jim pls.]

[skybluejeep]

[Kirk you asked Stiles to do research. You're his new best friend srsly.]

On it. I'll make sure to say something during the next show.

[jirk]

[Kid, you are awesome, and Jim's smile is warm and genuine.]

Great. As for the bar work-- swing by sometime in the next couple days, I'll get you sorted.

[skybluejeep]

[Damn right he's awesome.]

Thanks! ...Cap...tain? Should I call you captain? Or Kirk? Or Jim or what?

[jirk]

[Jim just laughs.]

Just call me Jim.

[skybluejeep]

Jim it is!

I'll be around soon.

[jirk]

[Jim waves a hand.]

Take your time, I'll be here.
