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?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, they seem pretty sassy.

[ leaning in the doorframe ]

How are you?

Re: action

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked over to Kara and smiled. ]}

Well enough, even with this sudden existential crisis.

_{[ He held up the picture by his face. ]}

This bird does not even resemble me.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. I think you share an expression.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked at the bird and back to Kara. ]}

This does not look like a suave, sophisticated bird that knows what it's doing.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I mean, that's true.

But I see it.

[universal_charm]

How do you see it?

_{[ He might be pouting. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, the face you're making right now, for one.

[universal_charm]

Are you calling me a pudgy bird, Kara?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, no, you're very fit.

[candothat]

You aren't that bad at math, sir.

[universal_charm]

I am glad someone appreciates my math skills.

_{[ So good to him, Chekov. ]}

[universal_charm]

Aw, how sweet of you to notice.

[tough_love]

Do you make a habit of making terrible decisions?

[Looma what the hell]

[universal_charm]

No, no I don't. Command would have removed me well before now if I did.

[tough_love]

Mmm.

[She's...not sure she believes that, but whatever. Nothing to be gained by pushing it.]

Then I suppose they must intend to inform you that you are very bird-like.

video

[bythewaves]

[ Totally not giggling on the inside noooo ]

That is a rather pointed statement, is it not? Alas the good doctor McCoy is not here to rise to your defense!

Re: video

[universal_charm]

I think you overestimate his estimation of my skills, Maglor.

[universal_charm]

This bird doesn't even share my coloring. If anything I am a golden finch.

_{[ Seriously, Looma. ]}

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

[Though he's probably on the Tourist somewhere. ]

It seems rather accurate, if you ask me.

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

Which part?

_{[ He's huffing, don't make him come find you mister. ]}

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

[But he's so well hidden! (He's not, he's in the armoury) ]

The quotation. From what I have learned of you, a lot of your [finger quotes] 'calculated risks' come out good because you have an extraordinary amount of good luck for one person

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

They are calculated because they are made on all available data. That's what makes them calculated.

_{[ He knows exactly where you are, he knows your hiding spots - and that background. ]}

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

Like driving a car off a cliff?

[Yeah, he's gonna bring that one up until the day he dies now. ]

Re: Video;

[universal_charm]

In my defense, I was twelve. And I was trying to make a point to my uncle.

_{[ So nyah Fenris. ]}

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

It was still a horrifically badly calculated risk.

[So nyah right back.]
