on being considered for a game

[yougotnumbtongue]

Great, you see a Kirk at your damn game and now you wanna throw me in there too? You just got off a hiatus, and one of your characters is gone for a canon update. This isn't a good idea.

Maybe you should just keep a tight hold on those reins to those horses of yours for a week or so, and then see where you stand, yeah?

What is it with you and not letting people make impulse decisions?

[yougotnumbtongue]

I let some people make them. Like people who don't directly affect my safety.

[emboldened]

[ fair enough! different tactic is a go. ]

You know, it's gonna be really boring exploring a whole new place all on my own. Never know what's going to happen. Could be allergic to the rosebushes. [ look how sly he is. ]

[yougotnumbtongue]

Hey, no way. You're not allergic to roses. That'd be in your file.

[emboldened]

That's why I said I could be. You never know, there's different types of roses, Bones. There could be a whole number and assortment of different medical emergencies awaiting me upon my arrival.

[yougotnumbtongue]

I'm sure they've got a doctor there.

[Probably not one as good as he is, but whatever. He's Not Going. You can't make him, Jim!]

[emboldened]

Sure they do. [ huff. HUFF. ]

Yeah, well. I don't wanna leave you here. Looking all pathetic. [ COME ON BONES HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO WITHOUT YOU. ]

[yougotnumbtongue]

Oh, how kind. You don't want me to look pathetic. [You get an eyeroll.]

I can take care of myself.

also I'm sorry that i keep trying to enable. i promise it's all kirk's fault

[emboldened]

There's got to at least be some itty bitty part of you that wants to come along, right? Sure you can take care of yourself, yeah, but...

[ please? ] Do you think the doctor there even knows what a hypospray is?

no shhhh it's fine it was only a matter of time

[yougotnumbtongue]

[Oh god, don't say things like that. You'll make him cry.]

So you're worried about yourself?

SORRY anyway i like him he's fun

[emboldened]

[ you sort of maybe deserve it a little, alright, not really. he's just repaying the favor. even though this is a game, and not a starship that Bones has wanted to board for three or more years. ]

If they use needles, I think I'd rather die from anaphylactic shock. [ the answer, Bones, is yes. ] I could probably get by without going to the doctor, right?

well he likes you too~~~

[yougotnumbtongue]

[the most tortured sigh in the world, insert it here.]

You're gonna drag me to Hell with you, aren't you?

JUST AS PLANNED.

[emboldened]

[ Awww, Bones, don't be so miserable all the time. ]

It's not a spaceship, it's not a moving means of transportation, and it's probably not going to kill us. I would think that'd be an improvement for you.

[yougotnumbtongue]

Do I need to give you the 'anything can kill you and here's how' speech again?

[emboldened]

No, pretty sure I've got it. That's why I said probably.

Do I need to tell you you worry too much again?

[yougotnumbtongue]

You're the one talkin' about rosebush allergies, Jim. Makin' me worry...

[emboldened]

Yeah - about that. I'm not allergic to rosebushes. I just said that so you'd get all freaked out and follow me.

[yougotnumbtongue]

[Pause.]

You're an asshole, Jim.

[emboldened]

[ SHRUG. He's done worse. ]

It worked, didn't it? A little? C'mon, you would've followed me eventually anyway.

[yougotnumbtongue]

You don't know that. I live my own life you know!

[That's just a lie.]

[emboldened]

Sure you do. But ever since we met, you've got this interesting habit of following me around. Not that it's a bad thing. Don't worry so much Bones, you'll be great.

[ yep. calling you out. ]

[yougotnumbtongue]

You're the Captain of the starship I'm assigned to. Of course I follow you around. I get court-martialed if I don't!

[deflect deflect deflect]

[emboldened]

Wouldn't be captain, if you hadn't dragged me on board in the first place. For that matter, there might not even be an Earth to come home to.

[ MEMORIES, come on, Bones, stop being so grouchy. A beat, then... ] What do you think the girls are like in Wonderland?

[yougotnumbtongue]

[Oh great, macho hour with Jim Kirk.]

Can't say. Never been there. Probably like girls any place else.

[emboldened]

[ It's your favorite time of day! ]

I hope they're not all little girls. That'd be a bit weird, don't you think? [ Ew. ] Hopefully at least eighteen. That wouldn't be that bad. ...You think they're all human?
