[captain_jtkirk]

So.

What'd you crazy kids get up to while I was gone?

Shego, you can stop sticking your Kirk shaped voodoo doll with pins now.

You--nothing.

Hi, I'm Jim Kirk too.

[original_fine]

So I hear. Hi. It's a pleasure. Hope you're not doing anything I wouldn't.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I have really no idea what you would do. And if I know you wouldn't do it, I would probably go out of my way to do it.

[original_fine]

I... Look, I guess we got off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Watch Kirk be mature... for once about this.]

It's not you. It's me.

My father died when I was born. That's where our lives changed and I don't enjoy being compared to you. So I don't handle it very well sometimes.

[original_fine]

I'm not comparing us. I mean... I don't know anything about you. I'm sorry to hear about Dad. I just... this is fascinating.

But if it brings up bad stuff, I won't press.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I am comparing us. I can't not.

You can ask me anything you want. I got my chance to ask you already.

[original_fine]

Oh, I see. I guess that couldn't have been easy, even with what little I know.

I think the most important thing is... are you happy?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That is... a weird question. But yeah, I am.

[original_fine]

I don't think it's that weird. I could ask you a bunch of facts about what separates us, but I'd rather establish that your life is, you know... that you're enjoying it. That you're okay.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Stop being nice. That's the weird part :c]

Yeah, overall I'd give it a gold star.

Now I just want to app him in and annoy Kirk with niceness.

[original_fine]

[Ooh, sarcasm.]

Well, you seem to be doing pretty well for yourself, from what I can see. And you already know Spock, and Uhura, and Bones... You got a head start on me.

Lollll. He'd be doing constant line face :|

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I'm twenty six by the way.

I'd only do it if I was welcome, of course. :)

[original_fine]

Fantastic. You know I didn't make captain until thirty-one--but you know that already, somehow, don't you?

You're totally welcome! i love all ST people

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I've met you before.

[original_fine]

Right, so you implied. But he was older?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe around 50.

[original_fine]

So I make it that long. Good to know.

So how'd you end up on this ship? Do you mind my asking?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I made a deal.

[original_fine]

Right. Commander T'Pol was telling us about that. It sounds like a worthy cause.

I hope it works out for you, Jim. I really do.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[He can't win this game.]

... thank you, I suppose.

[original_fine]

[He doesn't even get that there is one.]

Sure. And I'm making you uncomfortable, I guess. I mean, I'd probably feel the same way, considering what was going on when I was 26. But it's been really interesting.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It really doesn't have a lot to do with my age. But you're right, this has been interesting.

[original_fine]

Maybe not. But it's the context I have. And if I, now, was to talk to that guy... well, that guy wouldn't exactly be excited about it. So thanks.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Now I'm fascinated by your past.
