Alright, I'll bite. Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise. Yes, that Kirk. Yes, that Enterprise. And no I don't look like William Shatner.

[Private to Flynn]

I want to talk to you.

[ooc; I have no restrictions. It's a free for all here.]

[You lead a sad life, Cassie.]

Sort of. I think the term poster child of Starfleet is more appropriate.

[demigoddess]

And you fly--Pardon me--Captain a spaceship? [ It's not as ridiculous as she makes it sound, she at least knows that much. ]

[captain_jtkirk]

I prefer the term starship.

[demigoddess]

What's the difference?

[captain_jtkirk]

Space is boring. Stars aren't.

[demigoddess]

[ Snort. ]

Guess I can't argue with that logic.

[ Maybe. But she won't. ]

How does a young guy like you get his own ship?

[captain_jtkirk]

I saved Earth from a vengeful genocidal Romulan.

[demigoddess]

Well, that is impressive. Surprised they didn't give you a whole fleet of ships to command. [ She doesn't know what she's talking about. But she's seen Star Wars, and has been in space herself. ]

[captain_jtkirk]

[Starfleet is infinitely more like an organized military than Star Wars alright :c]

That'd be even more insane than handing the flagship to a kid you were trying to kick out the week before.

[demigoddess]

So were you handed the ship before or after saving the world? I mean, how did you even do that? [ If it was so insane to hand it over. Luck? Over looked skill? ]

[captain_jtkirk]

Technically, after. I was acting captain before and during.

[demigoddess]

And why'd they try to kick you out. [ Obviously this is a very rude question that she doesn't mind asking. ]

[captain_jtkirk]

[Kirk obviously doesn't care about talking about it :c] They called it cheating and I call it thinking outside the box to beat an unbeatable test.

[demigoddess]

Sounds like school alright. [ As in they suck. She can relate to getting the boot. ]

But I'd say you rubbed it in your school's face in a pretty big way. [ By saving the world and stuff, right? ]

[captain_jtkirk]

Just one person's face. And he still came on as my XO.

[demigoddess]

He doesn't sound half bad.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm fond of him most of the time.

[demigoddess]

It's nice to see that behind all of the arrogance and smart-ass remarks, you're actually a pretty interesting guy.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm taking that as a compliment and I'm horribly hard to get rid of once that happens.
