[ The video starts with one of Jim's usual smiles. For those who recognize the location, he's sitting at his desk at the Perimeter Guard. ]

So, after some rocky couple of months, it looks like we're settling in for a quieter month. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not complaining. Everyone should take the opportunity to relax a little and have some fun, but please be careful. Keep in mind that things can stop being peaceful and safe pretty fast.

Building on that thought, I'd like to reinforce we are always accepting new members at the Perimeter Guard. Can't have too many of us. Also, if you can pilot ships, shuttles or airplanes, I'm always looking for more members for the aerial unit, more specifically.

If anyone's curiosity is piqued, feel free to drop by and ask for Captain James T. Kirk. I'll be happy to show you around.

[ And he leans in as though he's turning off the camera...

(( BLOCKED FROM @FRANKENSTEIN ))

... but instead he just fiddles with a couple of settings before going on to add. ]

I was also wondering if anyone here could teach me how to waltz? Or any other similar dance, really. Something nice and romantic. [ A nod. ] Thanks.

[ And now he's done. ]


((ooc: WHOOPS FORGOT TO ADD. If you want your character to join the aerial unit (they can still keep other jobs or remain in other branches of the perimeter guard in case you're wondering) please JOIN HERE! Thank you! ♥))

And by interesting I assume you mean unusual.

I'm familiar with that. Well, not Alex specifically. My boyfriend's just an interesting man, too. [ 'Unusual' is definitely the word. ]

[nobasisinfact]

I meant interesting. I'm not a plesant man, and yet she's fine with that.

What makes him, interesting?

[winscenario]

Mm. I get what you mean. But that is kinda nice; there's someone out there for everyone, someone who's fine with your quirks and oddities. Not necessarily in a romantic sense, granted, but still.

I don't know what your world's like, but have you ever heard of the novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus?

[nobasisinfact]

Alex and I are dating.

[In case Kirk didn't realize.]

And yes, it's rather famous where I'm from.

[winscenario]

Yeah, I got that. Just meant that other people can have similar bonds without them being romantic, is all.

Well— that's him. Victor Frankenstein.

[ So Richard can probably guess at least some of the things that make him interesting. ]

[nobasisinfact]

Ah, Alex seems to know him well.

Are his actions, problematic.

[winscenario]

Yeah, he's mentioned her a couple times too.

If you're asking whether he goes around digging up bodies and raising the dead, then no. Nothing to worry about there.

[nobasisinfact]

One would assume once would be enough.

[winscenario]

If you're curious, you could just talk to him instead. He's pretty open about it these days.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm not terribly concerned.

[winscenario]

Didn't think you were. Just letting you know.

So what do I call you?

[nobasisinfact]

Dr. Richard Strand. And you are?

[winscenario]

Jim Kirk.

Anyway, let me know when you have time for a lesson, and we can meet up. Sound good?

[nobasisinfact]

Weekends are usually best.

[winscenario]

Alright. This one might be a bit busy for me— working on a mission. How about I get in touch with you once I have a free weekend?

[nobasisinfact]

That sounds fine.

[winscenario]

Great. I'll talk to you soon, then. Thank you, Richard.

[nobasisinfact]

Your welcome.
