Well that got weird. I’ve been thinking about having Riker do a self-cybering “Bill Striker: Erotic Frontiersman” monologue for a long time now and might find my way there still at some point because I find the idea of him narrating his own saucy author-insert adventures sort of hilarious and fodder for some unrestrained Randy Rikerism stuff. But this sort of went the lonely pathos uncomfortableness route instead, because apparently I wanted to crawl around for a while inside Riker’s dysfunctional coif? I don’t know, this project takes me in unexpected directions. I asked twitter for Riker-in-sleepclothes episode suggestions and got a bunch of good pointers, but in the interest of time I actually ended up in the mean time pulling these from The Host , the episode that in Larp Trek terms hasn’t happened yet and presumably never will where Bev macks on a Trill negotiator who then gets horribly wounded and so has to have his trill symbiote implanted in Riker, who Bev then also macks on bit before further things happen. So these aren’t really pajamas or bathrobe, it’s just a civilian outfit, but that plunging neckline was good enough for me for these purposes. In related Riker news, I am, along with apparently the rest of the internet, delighted this morning by a little site called Scroll Down To Riker , which does exactly what it says it does if you do what it says to do. I feel like it could use a lot more Rikerisms, but it’s not like I did the work so I should really just be thankful it’s there. And I am!
