.042 - short and simple

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm back.

The Barge is still standing, it seems like. That's... nice.

So. How's everyone been? Still in one piece? Shego? Anyone new? Hello. I'm Captain James Kirk. I was here... a while ago.


[ooc; If you know Kirk reeeeeeeally really well, you might notice that he sounds kind of wheezy. It's not Enterprise if Kirk doesn't get injured at some point. And you really don't need both of your lungs, if you think about it. He's been gone for 4 months on his end so he really has no idea how long it's been here.]

"Like on my body or the planet it happened on?"

"Part of your body. I'm not sure how many of our planets would have parallels."

"To the chest. That would be how I nearly did away with my lung."

[He looks at his chest, but doesn't say much considering that it's pointless with him in the position that he's in.] And your medical officer saw to you sufficiently before you returned? [He needs to be sure.]

"The incident happened over two months ago."

"Did you stop the civil war with the hole in your lung?"

"I wish. I get my ass handed to me enough, I'm starting to think I should be rewarded with world peace every time it happens." [He shrugs a little bit.] "It's all a little blurry. To be honest."

[He pauses as he shifts to better reach the board, grunting as he does so.] "What is your deal with the Admiral?"

[Spam!]

[Jim shrugs again, waiting a moment to make his move before he answers.] "Not sure. It doesn't really matter. I'm not here because we have a deal. I'm here for Shego."

"My warden said the same. But I didn't want him to be." [He picks up another piece to idly move.] "And you'll return when you're done?"

"I think the universe has a better chance of imploding than she does of graduating sometimes, but that's the idea. It's been almost two years by now, I believe. I can't give up on her now."

[Spam!]

[truth_is_cold]

[He nods slightly.] "She's no less likely to graduate than I am."

[Spam!]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"And are you super unlikely then?"

[Spam!]

[truth_is_cold]

[He shrugs at that. It's not a very good argument when he doesn't think he is all that likely to be leaving.] "If she's been here for two years, then I believe the chances are good she'll survive until graduation without a forced departure."
