.006 - Private to the Marquis

[captain_jtkirk]

Let's just be honest. I haven't read your file. I don't care if you've got an attachment to any previous warden. If you aren't a drinking man or a fighting man, then we probably have nothing in common. And I have no qualms about shooting you if you piss me off.

Any questions?

[That... is a lot of information to get in a few minutes and Kirk silently takes back his previous statement. It is a good thing that he didn't read that damn file because he would've given up long before he got to the end of the Marquis's story. He's not one for reading, never has been, preferring to do and to learn through action. And if he'd read it, it wouldn't have been as interesting as it was coming from the man himself.

Jim likes the Marquis, he decides after a few moments of just watching the other man because he doesn't seem to take crap from anyone and is probably about as stubborn about something as Jim himself is.]

"As your new Warden, I'm glad you have your tongue back. Also, write whatever the fuck you want. Have you written anything recently?"

Take a look around, Captain.

[He means this quite literally. Without parchment, he has over time had to look for blank surfaces elsewhere in the room when the compulsion has taken him...and it has, without a doubt. There isn't a white space, whether it's a sheet, curtain, or the blank parts of a painting, that haven't been scribbled over in writing.]

When I must, I find a way.

"I've got an extra datapad if you want it."

[Because no man should be forced to write all over his walls and sheets and things. James doesn't see any harm in letting the old man have his fun and write his stories.

Then he remembers that the Marquis is from his past.]

"You too old to learn new tricks? Or do I gotta go find you some paper instead?"

(ooc: gaaah I'm sorry I left this sitting ;_;)

[He chooses not to take offense to that.]

I would prefer parchment, quills and ink. It is the process just as much as the writing itself, you see.

"Where the hell am I going to get that stuff?"

[Jim frowns, looking less than thrilled about the idea of searching this ship for primitive means of writing. He wouldn't even know where to start looking for something like that back home.]

Experience tells me that asking is usually the speediest way to secure such things. [The Marquis raises a meaningful eyebrow.]

"I'll see what I can do."

[Which is Jim Kirk speak for 'I'll do it if I'm bored later and don't forget about it'. Which is probably the best that the Marquis can hope to get out of his new warden.]
