so easily enabled I can't even

Okay, let's take a step back, here. Look at things from a cool and rational place.

First, how long has it been since you've watched the movie? You'll need to do that, at least. And decide where to pull me from.

Now, double-check your schedule. Those term papers? Maybe this can wait until after you've completed them. Having fun is all well and good, but I know you have priorities.

And as for this city, do I really have to list all the things I would have a problem with there? No Starfleet, no Enterprise, no Spock. No universal translators. Just Kirk, McCoy and vampires?

And every kind of monster you can think of. Let's not forget that.

[lt_linguist]

Right. Monsters.

Because apparently genocidal aliens just aren't terrible enough for her.

[captaincocksure]

Most of the vampires are decent people. It's the giant insects you have to worry about.

[Jim you are not a helper.]

[lt_linguist]

You realize how not-reassuring that is, right?

[captaincocksure]

Sorry, I'm not the best when it comes to "reassuring". I'll send Bones next time.

...Though there's a thought. Sending him outside to make his >:| face at the giant insects.

[lt_linguist]

I'd like to see you try to talk him into that.

[captaincocksure]

I could tell him the giant insects called him a quack. Or said his mother had a funny hairdo. He'd be out there so fast.

[lt_linguist]

[She laughs, but really, Kirk.] Are you this awful to all your friends?

[captaincocksure]

You should see how I am with people I only just sort of like.

[lt_linguist]

You mean I haven't already been a party to that?

[captaincocksure]

...at the risk of sounding like an unprofessional jerk, there was never a time when I only just "kind of liked you".

[lt_linguist]

And at the risk of sounding superior, I was thinking about you and Spock.

[captaincocksure]

I was gonna ask why you'd do that but I hear a lot of these so-called players even write stories like that.

[lt_linguist]

[She shrugs rather eloquently.] People will do what they do. My mun tells me there are also a lot of stories about you and Dr McCoy.

...Somehow, I'm not really shocked at the idea that people write stories about you and anyone.

[captaincocksure]

[He's not shocked, either, but hold up a minute--]

Me? And Bones?

[Bet you can almost see the wheels turning. There's a long pause, and then, with a very faint smile tugging at his lips:]

...He'd have a fit.

[lt_linguist]

Probably. [She didn't expect Kirk to be offended by it. If anything, she looks just as amused.]

But don't read any of the stuff about the two of us and start getting ideas.

[captaincocksure]

No, ma'am. I like all my body parts where they are.

Besides, you and Spock... you're good for each other.

[lt_linguist]

Really. [She is torn between curiosity and not really wanting to talk to him about her personal relationships.

Ah, hell.] What makes you say that?

[captaincocksure]

It's just a feeling I have.
