.002 - man he misses space

[captain_jtkirk]

I've always wondered what life would be like as a musical.

[He seems unaffected but that's a lie. He's humming The Beatles "Hello Goodbye" under his breath. Push him and he'll probably break into all Beatles songs ever.]

This is a flood right?

Yes, Captain. This is a flood. They are all different.

This one seems to make people spontaneously burst into song.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

What causes this?

[And then he starts singing under his breath: I say high, you say low, you say why and I say, I don't knoooow]

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Unknown, possibly supernatural, influences from neighboring planets. Or so I've been told.

[She's gritting her teeth to resist the songs.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Well, that sounds extremely safe and well documented.

[SING WITH HIM. THE BEATLES ARE AMAZING. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.]

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

You're not the Captain of this place and we are not the crew. So we're not exactly privy to all the information we need. I can give you a list of every single flood that we've had if that would make you feel better.

[Hello, hello. I don- Ahem. That didn't happen.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[OUCH, UHURA.]

If you'd like.

[She's still sore about the name thing, okay?!]

If I might speak plainly, no. I would not like. It was an offer if you needed it. ...Sir.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's being mean and he's trying to be professional.]

Then don't. Either it won't matter because as you said, they're all different, or I'll remember it on my own eventually.

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

[She's being professional!]

I'm hoping for the latter.

Floods happen more frequently and can range in severity. Ports are different, though they are either simple or...dangerous.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[She's got a snitty undertone and we all know it :|]

Commander T'Pol mentioned some of it to me. I also got the impression it's hard to explain unless I experience one myself.

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

[That's nothing new!]

Exactly. But it never hurts to be prepared.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[It's new to him!]

I'm good at winging it.

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kirk. I know.

Private - this is probably a long time later

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Still mad at me?

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

No.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

... really?

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Really. I'm not happy, but...this isn't personal. You didn't do anything to me, after all.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Meaning what exactly?

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Meaning you're from either some kind of alternate reality or you cannot remember. Either way, it's not logical to hold you accountable for what happened.

[with_discipline]

Indeed. [Ahahah, Vulcan hearing.] What are you humming?

[outgrew_cosplay]

Hilarious is the answer.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Oh alternate realities. I feel like that's the theme of my life.

But it doesn't stop me from apologizing to you for it either way.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's a song.

[Here have louder singing: You say goodbye, and I say hello. Hello, hello. I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I haven't stopped laughing since this morning. [Or singing. But shh]

[with_discipline]

It seems contradictory. [And she's pausing. Either to consider the lyrics or to tell flood inclinations to fuck off.] But perhaps fitting.
