.076 - in which kirk isn't good at personal goodbyes :c

[captain_jtkirk]

I guess I was asleep for a month.

And now I'm leaving. Things changed and I don't even really understand it but it worked out that I can, so I'm taking it and no one should be at all surprised. And maybe start a prayer chain that I never have a reason to come back because three and a half years and three Inmates is enough.

So that's it. Goodbye, Barge.

I can't say I'm surprised, but it'll definitely be strange not having you around, Jim.

[captain_jtkirk]

I do bring a certain charm to the place.

Look me up if you ever take an extremely long nap again that lasts for a couple hundred years.

[buywithme]

I spoke to Shego already.

[It actually hadn't clicked. It's ridiculous, but his mind hadn't clicked around the fact that they were both going, yet.]

I--

Take care of each other, okay?

[captain_jtkirk]

Obviously, Prefect. [Lol except she'll be on Earth for a while and he'll be gallivanting but. Details.]

You can come with too if you want.

[buildindreemz]

[Oh, these are some feelings. They're not really that close, but he was one of the first people she met on the Barge who's still here.]

Good luck, Jim. Try not to get into too much trouble.

[captain_jtkirk]

[It's the end of an era :c]

You know me. Trouble follows me around.

[with_discipline]

[She is actually intensely jealous. She just wants to go home at this point. :c]

I'm pleased to have known you, Captain. Peace and long life.

[captain_jtkirk]

[Sob come with]

It's been a pleasure, T'Pol. I imagine I'll see you back home at some point.

[AUGH YOU TOO YOU JERK. :C]

Maybe don't get in any stupid space battles you don't need to get into. That'll probably be a good idea.

Re: [Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

[Sorry? :c]

Well it's not like I go looking around the galaxy for people to shoot at, Tim.

[takeyouapart]

Goodbye, Captain.

It's been an honour to be your friend. [Even when you were teaching him drinking games and drawing on him, SEE HOW CLASSY HE IS.] I'll miss you.

[captain_jtkirk]

[It's better than hitting you and insulting you all the time]

You too, Merlin.

Are you in charge of the Infirmary now?

Private

[breakingmyheart]

You're -

Well, you've more than earnt it. You're leaving today?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

No time like the present, right? [And he misses the wife so much :c]

[19centconstable]

I am sorry to see you go, Captain, but I do understand. And you have, of course, done terribly admirable work here.

[captain_jtkirk]

Thank you. George. I trust you'll carry on the tradition next March of growing mustaches.

[trenchcoatedly]

Enjoy your freedom.

[captain_jtkirk]

Thanks.

[truth_is_cold]

[This one's a lot harder. They never did quite make up. But... still-]

Take care of yourself, Captain.

[captain_jtkirk]

[Whatcha gonna doe :c]

I will. Thank you, Rhade.

Private; after any other threads that occur

[gotgreenmagic]

You ready?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

More than. Let's go.

[Spam] you have no choice

Dick is not really good at saying goodbye to people forever. It's why he still sometimes ended up hooking up with Kory when he saw her and why he and Babs had put things on hiatus instead of just saying this is never going to work. Saying goodbye forever usually meant someone was dead, and even then, with the amount of times people seemed to come back from that kind of thing, it didn't always mean forever.

And maybe this didn't really either, because if we were being honest, as long as Dick stuck around here, he could still potentially pop by to say hi. But this still felt like it was something more final than usual, and he wasn't really interested in doing it over the network.

Which also had to do with the fact that Dick was still babysitting Aristotle, so after braving the distinctly less fun than they looked in the movie (and not as unusual as it probably should be, considering the kind of fiascoes he threw himself into at home) death traps in the hallway, he knocked at Kirk's door, kind of freaked out looking dog in tow.

[Spam] i doth not protest

[captain_jtkirk]

Kirk was just awful at goodbyes period. So you're in good company there, Dick.

He went to answer the door, smiling a little when he saw that it was Dick on the other side, with his dog. He'd kind of assumed that's where Aristotle had ended up during his coma, since Bones was gone and Shego hadn't owned up to actually liking the animal which he knew that she totally did.

"Hey."

[strangehistorian]

Goodbye, Captain!

[captain_jtkirk]

Thank you, Chromie.

[prayformefather]

See you.

[captain_jtkirk]

Keep your chin up.
