And This One Was Just Right!
Who: Jim Kirk + You!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the planets
When: Through Feb (until something happens >.>)
[ video ]
So if anyone would like to join me, I'm going to take one of the shuttles and do a small spin around the binary stars and get a look at them. Nothing dangerous, but a binary star system with three habitable worlds - admittedly two of them with narrow zones, but still - is incredibly rare and I want to take this opportunity to get as much data as we can.
So yeah, I'll be going out periodically, and I would love company, if anyone wants to come along. You will have to put up with me dropping into a lot of science geekery. And that's a warning, not an apology.
[ Duotera ]
[ As much as he does like his city life, he finds himself more attracted to the hiking options. It makes him glad he's kept his Star Fleet boots these past few years made for just the purpose. He would go out early in the morning and often not return until late in the evening, but he never went to very far, unless he had a partner. Number one rule of hiking after all - buddy system.
At night he liked to peruse the bars and even partake in some of the gambling opportunities. He usually didn't indulge, but he couldn't resist the thrill of a good card game now and then and the chance to laugh it up over drinks, make new friends. And walk away with a few more credits. Failing that, he loved a good night club. Dancing and the beat? A wonderful way to let loose, and if he recognized you, he most definitely might be pulling you in for a dance.
Naturally he wound his way towards the Crafter's Hall. He himself didn't have a hand or eye for this type of thing, but he could appreciate those who did, and he thought it might be nice to pick up some items to take back to the ships, liven them up. He always did have a fondness for abstract or natural looking pieces, pieces with motion to them. He could be found admiring pieces, and at several points walking out with packages in his arms. ]
[ Philias ]
[ What else is there really to do on Philias but swim and work on your tan? Well, Kirk didn't really need the tan or want one - he could practically hear Bones in his head yelling at him about radiation and skin cancer. But with the security of plenty of sunscreen and the confidence once can only have in tiny blue boxer-brief style swim shorts, Kirk takes to the beaches.
He can be found sunning himself and reading from a tablet, sometimes making notations. Other times he's simply watching the oceans, sipping one of the local drinks, and when he needed to burn off the calories he rose to go play in the surf.
And, yes, he's really trying not to look to hard at the Nunnilis in swim suits. ]
Locked to Fenris
[ Someone has been following him. That much he knows. Ever since he left a shop earlier that day,
he could feel someone at his back. He never quite saw them, but he could feel them. With as long as he had spent out in space, discovering new things and more than once being hunted, he knew what it felt like. Gave him the damn creeps.
He licked his lips and kept on like nothing was wrong, going about his originally planned day before suddenly cutting through the streets, moving at random to try and confuse whomever was following him,
looking for some way to go up or possibly down. His heart hammered and he really wished he had brought a weapon with him as he continued along his path, finally seeing a set of stairs leading up a building and quickly making for them, hoping his follower wouldn't think to look up. ]

[ He nodded. ]
That's a good way to go about it. I got these after... well, a traumatic experience. It helped with my recovery, mentally. They continue to do so.
Well, whenever you decide you're ready for one, I'll help you find someone to make it for you. When we're on planets like this it should be easy enough.

[ He nodded. ]
That's a mature way to go about it. Like I said, when you're ready, I'll help you find an artist, but don't rush yourself either.
[ He nodded out towards the water. ]
Want to go wading?
no subject
no subject
Never fear. We don't have to go out very far.
[ He pushed up and held out his hand for her. ]
Will this be your first time in the ocean?
no subject
Yes, I've never been in the ocean. I've been in a river before but I've never swum in an ocean or swum at all - where I come from, it's too cold to swim.
no subject
[ He lets her, keeping a careful hold as he leads her to the water's edge. The water is a bit chilly, but not uncomfortably so. He guides her in until hits the tops of their thighs, the waves pushing gently. ]
Well, what do you think?
no subject
How did you learn to swim?
no subject
At the local pool in town and school. Most kids learn it where I’m from and if I hadn’t as a kid Star Fleet would have made sure I knew how.
[ He kept her hand as the waves pushed at them, gentle but firm. ]
If you’re interested in learning, I know someone who would probably be happy to serve as a teacher for you.
no subject
( Sansa gives him a bit of a smile. )
Who is this person?
no subject
His name is Lance. He's a nice kid, around your age. He'd be happy to teach you, I'm sure. I can make the introductions, and you can learn in the Fleet pool. It's more controlled here than the ocean.

Oh, it's not much really. I just know he enjoys swimming, and I think you would get along with him. He has a very - exuberant personality, shall we say, but he's a good guy.
