.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.]

Fine. Fine. I will play.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yes, she is.

She's in charge of translating for new cultures and species that we meet. Basically.

Private

I'm fine. Completely, absolutely okay. Functioning one hundred per cent normally. Is that enough clarity for you?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased to hear it.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that's much better.

You're out of a job now though.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

So, languages? That must be interesting. She must be very smart too.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a job as in 'one of the jobs, plural, that I have'. I still run the stupid self-defense class.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's not enough to keep you occupied and you know it.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Nothing here is enough to keep me occupied. I'll ask Bennet about a regular gym shift, I'm pretty sure it's just her and Numbers right now.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

She has a very talented ear.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Would you really enjoy that?

[villageson.livejournal.com]

She has other talents too.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

No.

Are there any other options I'd enjoy more? Also no. So I'm just gonna take what I can get, if that's all good with you.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Disregarding the options available now, what would you enjoy doing?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

You mean for a job? How is this relevant?

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's curiosity, Shego.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[It's suspicious is what it is.]

I've got nothing, okay? There is nothing to do on board this heap of junk that I would choose to do all day.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Quit being such a girl.]

I seem to recall asking you to disregard the current options.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I am disregarding the current options, but exactly how wide a choice do I have here? If 'go home and get the day job back' was a possibility I'd do it, but I was sticking to stuff that isn't impossible and wouldn't get me tossed in Zero. And within those parameters? Nothing.

Spameroo

[peektuttut]

[So hard. So hard. Tim nods back, eying the 3D set and smiling despite himself.] Hey. So you really have one of these.

[lastconfessor.livejournal.com]

What holiday was being celebrated today?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I bought it right before we left. I figured it be one of the few things that Spock and I could agree on." [Jim explains, going about setting up the board. Then he pauses and gives Tim an odd look.] "Why? You know how to play it this way?"

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Is it the day job or the going home part that you like better? Be honest and you can only pick one.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Easter. It's Earth based, Christian specifically.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Does someone have a crush?
