.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?

Comments

private - don't make me hit you

[imaythrowuponyou]

You are not allowed to be 30 while I'm still 33.

I didn't do it intentionally!

private - YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ALREADY

[captain_jtkirk]

I've had three birthdays here.

Only one of them had leeches.

private - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

[imaythrowuponyou]

Jim, why would I ever willingly put leeches on you if I wasn't some goddamn witch doctor from a million years ago because the Admiral's a fucking awful driver?

private - SURE

[captain_jtkirk]

Why would you ever willingly give me a mudflea infection?

private - WHY DO YOU HATE

[imaythrowuponyou]

To stop you from looking like a kicked puppy while we all got to go off and have an adventure without you, which I may remind you led to Earth not getting sucked into a black hole and you getting your nice, shiny space ship right after instead of having to work your way up the ranks.

You're welcome.

[captain_jtkirk]

Spock got me the starship.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

[SIGH.] Fine, Jim. Next time, I'll be sure to leave you behind.

private

[captain_jtkirk]

You'll have to leave me in a home soon enough anyway.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Ha-ha. You'd throw a fit and officially disown me.

private

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm leaving everything I own to Chekov already.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Why Chekov?

private

[captain_jtkirk]

He's the youngest. And Russian. He's going to outlive us all.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

You come up with that all by yourself?

private

[captain_jtkirk]

Or it'll be Spock but he wouldn't want it.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Uh-huh. [You are really something, kid.]

private

[captain_jtkirk]

When you put me in the home can the nurses wear skirts?

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

I'm not putting you in a home, jackass.

private

[captain_jtkirk]

Is that because you're going to be put in there with me?

Can we be roommates?

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Probably. I'd like to think after all the crap we've been through Starfleet'd let us pick our own roommates at whatever retirement home we get shipped off to.

private

[captain_jtkirk]

At least we'll go at the same time now.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

You are not 30, Jim.

Re: private

[captain_jtkirk]

Says who.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Your maturity level.

private

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm not 12 either.

Lots of people have crises on their 30th birthday.

private

[imaythrowuponyou]

What happens when you go home and you're 27 again?
