.067 - this is how captains spend their holidays

[captain_jtkirk]

Since it is a holiday and while I respect it, I don't celebrate or observe it. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a game of chess. Or any other quiet type of recreation if you can think of something better.

[Private to Shego]

Let's talk.

[ooc; this is the type of chess Kirk plays. But. He also lets people win because it's hard.]

I'm good for a game of chess. [ULTERIOR MOTIVES WHAT.]

[Stop being such a stalker, Tim. It's creepy.]

Alright. Wanna meet in the mess hall?

[peektuttut]

[...No.]

Sure. Now good?

spam?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't. I'll see you down there.

Spam is tasty

[peektuttut]

Cool.

[CUT TO: int. mess hall. I need to stop working on this script. Tim makes his way there pretty quickly. Ulterior motives and...being on the same floor lends speed.]

How have you been lately?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Average, I guess.

Are you still terrified of my facial hair?

Go and die in a fire.

I can play chess. We haven't met, have we? I'm 11-12.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. My apologies. I'm Captain James Kirk, though you can call me Jim if you want.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

Kirk? Oh, you're a friend of Uhura's, right?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Friend might be too nice of a term sometimes. We work together. She's my Communications Officer.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

She's very nice. What's a Communications Officer?

I am not naive enough to try and play chess with you, but I do appreciate your respect for "quiet recreation."

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I figured I should tone down the action of my life for a holy holiday.

I'd go easy on you.

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

I don't need your help. If I play, I want to lose because you actually tried...not win because you wanted to be nice.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Then play a game with me. The only way you're going to get better is through practice of being crushed apparently.

psh, he doesn't let Spock win.

[toomuchlogic.livejournal.com]

that's because Vulcans are fucking smart :|

What holiday was being celebrated today?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Easter. It's Earth based, Christian specifically.

[lastconfessor.livejournal.com]

I see. So, your intent is to play chess until the holiday passes. Unfortunately, I've never played it, so I don't think I would be much of an opponent.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to be respectful of those that do observe it.

I could teach you how.
