.065 - someone breached through his bday booyah

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm actually curious, if you have had your birthday here or might have your birthday here and just haven't yet, would you count yourself as a year older when that day comes?

Or is this place so removed from your normal life and time that you don't think any time is actually passing even as you feel it dragging on you here?

I think it's more paranoid than obvious.

[captain_jtkirk]

That's what you implied.

[captain_jtkirk]

I keep a Captain's log on my ship?

[peektuttut]

No, it's not.

[captain_jtkirk]

Try telling a woman that.

She poured him a shot of vodka. "I think my eyes are still adjusting to electric bulbs. Are you complaining?"

[captain_jtkirk]

Then what were you saying?

[surfaceshine]

I never try telling a woman anything. I'm always wrong.

"Did you pick it because you didn't want to look at me?"

[peektuttut]

That on top of everything you experience here and go home carrying, do you really want to think about how old you really are, when you can't even be sure time flows the same here?

"Seriously? No, but now we're here the obscured view of your mustache is an unexpected bonus," she drawled.

Which is totally different from a diary because you call it a log.

Nice.

"It's catching some of the vodka. I didn't anticipate this outcome."

[captain_jtkirk]

It's different because I have to and someone pays me to do it.

"And now your face is an alcohol-infused fire hazard. Want me to get you a straw?"

[captain_jtkirk]

If you experience the time, it still counts.

[peektuttut]

Then count it.

[ichoosefight]

That's exactly how easy it is to keep a diary. People do it all the time for medical reasons, or to practice writing. Or because they're bored.

Spamm

[captain_jtkirk]

"That would be lovely, yes."

Re: Spamm

[gotgreenmagic]

"I'm not letting you drink vodka with a straw, Kirk." She sipped from her glass. "How was the breach for you, anyway? Find your sea monster?"

"I got leeched," Jim said with a shudder. "So I'm going to say it went not well."

Re: SPAMMMM

[gotgreenmagic]

"You got - " She pulled a face. "Ew. Tell me it wasn't McCoy."

SPAMMMM

[captain_jtkirk]

"Oh it was him. And he's never allowed to touch me ever again."

SPAMMMM

[gotgreenmagic]

"Yeah, that'll stay true until the next time I push you off a cliff or whatever it is I do." She leaned back, slouching a little. "It's not like it was really him anyway. Or any of us."

"Don't care. I'll be deformed."
