( video & action; un: kirk ) forward dated to April 1st

[winscenario]

[ The camera catches a glimpse of Jim's face in his Perimeter Guard uniform, but only for the flicker of a second before there's a bump of some sort and the device is knocked down. Jim's surprised expression is the last thing to show before the only view for a few seconds is the ceiling. His voice can be heard from off camera. ]

John! Bad boy, bad.

[ There's a snout next, sniffing at the screen, then a tongue... then finally Jim reaches his phone and picks it up from the ground. He's grinning a little and shaking his head as he props it up on the table again and pulls away, dragging his new friend along with him so he's kept away from his device. ]

Sorry. That was... anyway. Captain James Kirk here, and this is John, the latest member of the aerial unit. [ He just wandered in one day and now Jim's keeping him, shut up. ] So— due to the latest rains and the most recent flooding near the river, a lot of people have found themselves temporarily displaced. I'm one of those people, but luckily me and my buddy here have a place to crash at the Perimeter Guard. We have plenty of beds and mattresses available here, for what it's worth, so anyone who finds themselves momentarily homeless, you'll be more than welcome here.

There should be other places we could use to offer people some shelter. The community centers come to mind, for instance. Gathering a few supplies would help though, so anyone willing to help and donate a few things, that would be great.

Additionally, I'll be making rounds on the shuttle, so anyone who needs a hand or absolutely must get somewhere out of bounds due to the flood, let me know.

And that's it! [ He smiles a little, nodding. ] Remember to keep safe. And if you don't need to be anywhere near it, stay away from the river. At least until the rain lets up and we manage to figure out where all this water's coming from.


(( ooc: this post is open to action for the following options: around the perimeter guard barracks, getting some rest, working, or helping other misplaced people out; near the river, aiding anyone in trouble and/or possibly fighting any of the monsters; a little all over the place on his shuttle, ready to jump in and get anyone out of a tough spot. ))

Tell me this is a JOKE.

[winscenario]

I would never joke about the dangers of a flood, John.

[ He knows very well that's not what John's talking about. ]

[deploy]

That flood is the least of your concerns right now.

You can't call it John.

[winscenario]

Him. And sure I can! I've been calling him that for days now, it's what he answers to.

He's cute. And he reminds me of you. You should be touched, really.

[deploy]

I'm going to buy a snake and call it Jim.

[winscenario]

Sure thing. But make sure it's one of those flashy colorful ones.

[deploy]

Don't you think this is going to get confusing?

How the hell am I supposed to know which one of us you're talking to?

[winscenario]

Nah. If I'm cooing or saying 'good boy' then you know I'm talking to him.

Although if you both wanna be good boys and fetch me stuff when I ask you, I won't complain either.

[deploy]

I already bring you coffee in the morning, what else do you want?

He can bring you the morning paper.

[winscenario]

Perfect! A task for each John.

I'll call you a good boy too if that makes you happier. :)

[deploy]

[Does Jim really have to go there? Hearing 'good boy' still makes John feel weird. All this is a terrible throwback to That Time He Had a Tail.]

I'm going to bite you.

[winscenario]

[ John. Why the fuck do you think he named the dog after you. ]

Ouch. Bad boy. I'll make you sit in a corner and think about what you did.

[deploy]

[Because Jim is a bad person and should feel bad?]

And I'm definitely going to pee on your chair.

[winscenario]

[ Because he loves you and you make a really cute dog. You asshole. ]

Then I'm spraying your face and assigning you desk duty for a whole month.

[deploy]

Sounds like it'll be a busy month for RR-1. I'm sure John can handle my paperwork.

[winscenario]

He's very smart, actually. He might just, who knows.

[deploy]

Can he fly too?

[John Sheppard getting strangely jealous of a German Shepherd.]

[winscenario]

[ John please. ]

I took him out on the shuttle a few times already. He loves it.

[deploy]

He still licks his own balls.

Does he even have balls?

[winscenario]

I haven't gotten him neutered yet, no, if that's what you're asking.

Don't tell me you're jealous, John.

[deploy]

That word isn't even in my dictionary.

[winscenario]

Right. You're so full of crap sometimes.

[deploy]

At least you don't have to pick it up.

[winscenario]

[ ... alright he can't help barking out a laugh at that. (Pun intended.) ]

True. Though I do have a bag of your favorite treats on my desk drawer.

[deploy]

Cigars?

[They both know he's just trying to sound cool.]
