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?

Comments

[wolfuncaged]

I prefer them. Guns are too...impersonal.

[You can kill someone from so far away, you'd never see the white of their eyes. Still, he wanders over to a small collection of guns.]

They are nothing special, really. More for the rest of the crew, should you all need them.

[universal_charm]

True, but distance is sometimes preferable in a fight.

_{[ Like when you didn't want to potentially get stabbed by someone. ]}

Hmm, all right, but we should still keep a regular documentation of them, just in case. You know, make sure one hasn't disappeared or anything.

[wolfuncaged]

For a rogue, perhaps.

[That's not the warrior way. The warrior way is to stab a thing until it can't stab you any more. ]

I do keep track of my weapons, you know. We have to be prepared for whatever war we will eventually face with Atroma- and one will come. One day.

[universal_charm]

I would appreciate regular check-up reports though. Inventory once a month, if we could?

_{[ He phrased it as a question on purpose for Fenris, though he was clearly hoping for a yes. Or at least a favorable compromise. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris lets out a long suffering sigh. ]

If it would make you feel better, I suppose I could.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He gives him a long suffering look back. ]}

It really would. I'll even help. We'll be forced to spend time together at least once a month with your favorite things.

_{[ Oh so horrible. The most horrible. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

That sounds like an awful of of hardship, you're right. [He chuckles.] However will I cope?

[universal_charm]

Well, you do have that adorable diary. You know the one. With the sparkling unicorn?

_{[ He grinned broadly, moving past Fenris to go and inspect the guns. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris lets out a groan, rolling his eyes. ]

Right. The diary. I forgot about it.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk touched a hand over his heart in mock hurt. ]}

But it sparkled!

[wolfuncaged]

[He raises an eyebrow, folding his arms and leaning on the wall. ]

Yes. Obnoxiously so.

[universal_charm]

It was not obnoxious. It was sweet and put some color into your room.

_{[ He pursed his lips to keep from pouting at him, though he was only having fun, not actually upset. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He's just going to give Kirk the flattest look possible. ]

I like my room in shades of black and grey.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He takes it like a champ. ]}

Then it shouldn't be hard to find the journal, now should it?

[wolfuncaged]

Ugh. Do you wish for me to get it now?

[universal_charm]

No, not now. The fact you can tells me you still have it.

_{[ He smirked broadly, smugly, as if he had just won some wager or other. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris rolls his eyes, letting out a huff. ]

I may like you but I assure you that does not prevent me from punching you.

[universal_charm]

It's very sweet how you've held back this long.

_{[ Snarky snark snark. Look, two can play this game. He goes against Bones and Spock on a regular basis, Fenris. Game on. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He will play the snark game forever! ]

I has taken every ounce of my willpower, I assure you.
