Captain's Log 12 - Assessment

[universal_charm]

Who: Jim Kirk & Anyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Tourist if you want to speak to him in person
When: Now! Right now!

<sub>[ The video comes on and Kirk fills the screen, looking somewhere between perturbed and amused, maybe even a touch confused. Or was it miffed? Either way it's a slightly odd expression and just to his left is sitting a basket most everyone should be familiar with now. It is opened, though the food stuffs is left untouched (for now - he's not Looma, okay?).

He picks one of the items up off the table beside him and holds it up - it's a picture of a bird with some words atop it that read: 'I took a calculated risk, but man, am I bad at math' and titled on the frame as "Self Portrait". ]</sub>

I feel this is a very sassy and unwarranted attack on my character, Atroma. Is there something you're trying to tell me?

Hence your ridiculously enormous amount of luck. Just half a second too late and you likely would have been extremely dead.

[Something he's very glad didn't happen. So very, very glad. ]

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

Luck and skill are two different things. You're mixing them up.

_{[ He's just being obstinate for the hell of it now. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

Kirk, that was a lot of things, but I would hardly call it skill.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

It was still damn good for a first arrest.

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

Usually only criminals would consider being arrested a good thing.

[He's not judging, just making a point. ]

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

Look, I can either run from what I did as a kid, or I can own all the crap I got up to. Figure it'll come out no matter what, so...

_{[ Shrug. But you know what? He's also getting up and coming to find you mister. He knows where you are, after all. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[That gets a low, rumbling chuckle in response. Come find him, Kirk~]

Is that what this is? Owning up to it? Stepping into the spotlight to say 'it was I!' ?

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

I've never actually hidden it. There wouldn't be a point. Juvenile records are sealed, to a point, but Star Fleet would have seen them anyways, especially in my older teen years.

_{[ Walking, walking. This ship is not very big, it hardly takes any time at all and oh look, there's Kirk standing in the doorway, hands on hips. ]}

Besides, I think people can appreciate a captain who isn't sparkly clean, so to speak.

[wolfuncaged]

And they didn't hold it against you.

[He looks up at Kirk, offering a small smirk. ]

I certainly can. I would not trust a captain who hadn't got their hands dirty once in a while.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

So you're saying you like your men dirty, is that it?

_{[ He sauntered further into the room and over to him, reaching out, but not touching, waiting for some signal it was all right. ]}

Action forever!!!

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris chuckles again, a hand brushing against Kirk's arm. It's fine. ]

Quite a leap to get to that, Captain.

Re: Action forever!!!

[universal_charm]

You're the one who said it, not me.

_{[ He smiled, brushing Fenris' palm and then across his cheek ever so lightly. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He leans into the touch a little, his smirk softening into a genuine smile. ]

I believe I said I prefer a captain who can get his hands dirty.

[universal_charm]

Hmm, how dirty?

_{[ He dared to brush his finger along the curve of Fenris' ear, enjoying the banter. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He lets out a slow hum at the touch. ]

You will have to find out that for yourself.

[universal_charm]

Is that you giving permission?

_{[ He raised a brow, but his lips were playing with a mischievous smirk. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

Permission for what? Getting your hands dirty? Depends on what you plan to do.

[That smirk is definitely there. ]

[universal_charm]

Hmm, I might steal a few ideas from that captain and first mate novel you were reading awhile back...

_{[ You know, the one where he first confessed to you? ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[A low, rumbling chuckle comes from his chest. ]

I'll be very interested to see what you come up with from that.

[universal_charm]

_{[ God it was so tempting. So tempting right then and there to kiss him and do all manner of very not safe for work things. ]}

I suppose I'll have to put my own twist on them, otherwise you'll see them coming since you read that book ~

[wolfuncaged]

[The temptation was absolutely there, but Kirk would be well rewarded for his patience. ]

Oh yes. I would prefer to be surprised.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Good, because these blue balls of his were getting irksome. ]}

But no pressure, right?

[wolfuncaged]

[Soon, Kirk. So very soon. ]

Of course not. No pressure.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He smiled, and decided for the better of them both he should let off on this otherwise he would drive himself insane. ]}

What are you doing in here anyways?

[wolfuncaged]

[A wise decision, on his part. ]

I have been taking care of the weapons. They still need upkeep, we never know when we may need to use them.
