[ Open ] No, I Don't Want to Build a Snowman
Who: Jim Kirk & You!
Broadcast: No
Action: Yes, Planetside
When: All Month Long
a: hot springs
What's the best thing about cold planets? Hot springs. The fact that they glowed was an intriguing bonus.
But when didn't have some sort of self-proclaimed mission or errand, or wasn't trying one of the restaurants, he could be found in the hot springs. He was certainly becoming a familiar face with those who ran the places, and the climb to the springs and back down was helping him work off his indulgences. If the springs have another features, like, say, massages, he might just partake of that too.
Essentially, he might as well be living at these places if he has to be planet side. Look, he can't just avoid the planet - that's boring. So he might as well make the most of it.
"Hey, decided to come and try it for yourself, huh? Well, I can assure you - the water feels just fine."
b: culinary adventures
If there is one thing Kirk truly does delight in when they come to a new planet, it's the chance to try the culinary delicacies of said planet. He does have to be a little careful considering his allergies and one never knew exactly what would trigger a new one. Or kill you. But hey! That's the fun risk of trying to new things, right?
So he can easily be found across different cafe's and restaurants on the planet, a variety of dishes and drinks to be tasted. If he sees anyone he knows, he'll likely call them over to join him, or insist they join him for a meal. He especially seems drawn to anything selling sweets. What can he say? He has a bit of a sweet tooth.
And thank god for hot drinks on a cold planet. All the hot drinks please. Even better if they're just a bit spiked. You know, for fun.
c: gift shopping
'Tis the season, as they say, and while he knows some of his friends on the ships might not partake of the "Christmas", he certainly does, and that means gifts. Which are always much, much harder to shop for than one might imagine. It's not a math equation, or even a dissertation on the destruction of a certain space ship and the "lightning storm" in space that caused the event.
Nope, those were definitely easier than shopping for gifts. Especially for a wedding gift, which felt equally impossible given whom he was shopping for.
But he was giving it a good go by the amount of bags he had in hand, brightly colored paper popping out of the tops or in brightly colored plastic bags themselves. He could honestly give someone a seizure for the amount of colors, and he made a bit of a sight trying to fit through doors to new shops.
Help a guy out?

Surprise me! Want to go play a sport? Go visit the tree together? Take a tour of the castle? Visit a bar? Anything else not listed? Let's do it!

Well, with a war done, and you having explored so much of space already, perhaps there will be a program for space exploration. Perhaps you could help begin your own Federation of Planets. You have the charisma for it.
[ He gave him an encouraging smile. ]
No, but I can dunk you under.
[ He raised a hand up, threateningly. ]
You can talk to me, Lance.
no subject
[But not too young to be on the frontlines of a deadly war.]
I... I mean. Just some stupid shit went down back home. Before we made it back to Earth, we got teleported to some weird game show thing--yeah, don't ask, I don't get it either, and... Well. In a nutshell, apparently everyone in the universe thinks that I'm the dumb one, and none of my teammates thought it was worth their time to stick up for me. Only so many times you can be called dumb and stupid and have everyone get angry at you before you start thinking that hey, maybe they have a point.

[ He smiled at him, meaning it with that quiet sincerity of his. ]
Well, I think people sometimes say things they don't mean, often in situations that are strange, unusual, or stressful. And maybe in the moment they were upset or frustrated with you. But in the moment doesn't mean all the time, Lance. It doesn't make what they said to you right, though, either.
Have you talked to any of them about it?
no subject
[He doesn't say who just now.]
I talked to Keith a little. Not the others, though. I don't think I want to bring it up. They'd feel obligated to apologize to me if anything really.
