.013 - lol he still didn't miss you Barge

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[original_fine]

Ask anything you like. I don't suppose I should keep it from you, of all people. Even if I'm not very proud of some of it.

I was just thinking about being twenty-six. I've made some mistakes in my life, and people have died, and I'm just wondering what it would have been like, having that much more responsibility.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It scares the shit out of me and exhilarates me every single day.

[original_fine]

Well, that definitely sounds familiar.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I'm glad that never goes away then.

[original_fine]

Well, the fear gets easier to deal with, but the excitement?

No, that doesn't go away.
