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?

Video;

[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.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded, glancing around them. ]}

Have we gotten any new inventory in?

[wolfuncaged]

No.

[He pauses, picking up a gun and putting it back into a holding slot. ]

...Though I have been considering getting an upgrade. If I did, however, it would be for the ship as a whole. Given what the Marsiva is capable of, that would be the wisest decision.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded, seeing the logic behind it. ]}

I'll go in with you on that, get it done a bit quicker.

[wolfuncaged]

That is considerate of you. [He taps the side of his head. ] Though I believe only the security officers on board can purchase it.

[universal_charm]

Who the hell knows what our new watchers will and will not allow?

_{[ He shrugs. ]}

But if not, well, I'll get you some wine instead.

[wolfuncaged]

That is true. Perhaps they have changed the rules.

[A smirk crosses his lips. ]

Oh? What for? For spending my hard earned coin on bettering our ship? I would rather us not be under threat of being shot out of space any more than you. All my things are here.

[universal_charm]

Just your things?

_{[ Another raised brow, fingers brushing Fenris' shoulder. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He chuckles. ]

Perhaps a little more than just that.
