[ Video ]

_{[ The picture that comes up is that of one Captain Kirk, his lips drawn into a meld of thin line and irritated purse. It is a rare expression for him, but in this case it is well deserved. He's sitting in his room, on his bed, the wall behind him, and a slug perched on his shoulder. He needed the soothing influence. ]}

I don't know which if your sponsors -

_{[ He inserted air quotes here ]}

Thought to send this particular care package, but it's not nearly as tactful, funny, or even comforting as you might think it is.

<sub>[ He held up a letterman style jacket, which seemed innocent from the front in its black and white coloring. But then he turned it to the back, where proud letters were emblazoned -

I DIED AND I SURVIVED ]</sub>

I got a whole box of them. If you want one, I guess... come and get one? Though really if you want me to burn them, I'm happy to do that too. Take some marshmallows to them as well, because why not at this point?

[ Action - Bazaar/Shops ]

<sub>[ Kirk had taken some of the jackets from the box and brought them here. Even though he had made an offer to burn them, he thought they might be more useful if they could traded for credit or some sort. The leather and construction on the jackets was nice and sturdy. Surely the people out here could appreciate that and pay a pretty penny for it, even if the back was... unpleasant.

He could be seen trying to barter the jackets for some supplies, mostly food to round out the goo, sometimes some things to keep them occupied like new games he found, or even just some new clothes to freshen things up. But he seemed to be having similar conversations at every stall - ]</sub>

What kind of bad luck you trying to bring around here? Ain't no way in hell I'm trading for that!

_{[ And other variations, often with less than viewer friendly wording. Definitely not a hit. ]}

Well then you can come over and get them. I'm not running a courier service.

[cajunspice]

Why don't ya just bring two when ya come over this evenin'? [After all, it's not like Jim isn't on Remy's ship for 90% of the nights or so.] May even tip ya well when ya get here. [A grin when he was unable to stop himself, finding himself amusing at least.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ 90% was probably being generous. He did have the bigger room, after all, being a captain. Perks of the job. But he was on Remy's ship quite a bit, that he couldn't argue. ]}

Only "may"?

[cajunspice]

[Ok, maybe so, but Remy was also a paranoid cat dad and would rather be on the Twin Roses to take care of them in the morning.] Depends how good the delivery goes 'nd if there 'ny specials that come with it. [Ah, silly flirting was always fun with Jim.]

[universal_charm]

Specials depend on how well you tip.

_{[ He isn't running no slip-shod business here, Remy. And even being your lover, sometimes you gotta pay to play. Especially with this particular fencing match. You know Kirk can't help but go for the win. Though winning is probably more of a mutual thing in the end. ]}

[cajunspice]

[Remy bit down on his lips, pulling them in to try and stop what came to his mind, but in the end he couldn't stop it from coming out.] Cher, ya know how good m' tip be. [Before he broke out in a wide grin, silently laughing to himself.

Sorry Jim, you are 'dating' a total brat with such an immature mind. But you should know this by now.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He is very much dating a brat, but he can't say he hates it. There's a certain degree of unpredictability to it, and he enjoys that within their relationship. ]}

Never hurts to be reminded, now does it?

[cajunspice]

[That chuckle came through this time, still amused at his bad joking before offering a solution.] How 'bout ya bring a couple of those jackets 'nd come meet up with me after I do the dinner shift tonight? We can grab a meal 'nd drinks 'nd ya can escort me home 'nd make sure I don't get jumped in a dark alley or something.
