[ 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! ♥))

I said you looked cute, not cool. I looked cool.

You know, around. Hanging out. Going on joyrides, stealing some stuff, making out with cute people on the backseat of a car. Infinitely more interesting than sitting in a boring class that was trying to teach me all the things I already knew.

Oh, thanks.

I hate you a little more every day. Do you know that?

If I wasn't in class I was locked in the broom closet. Sometimes overnight.

Hey, why? Riverside was awful. I hated it, growing up there. Those were the only times when I didn't feel completely miserable.

Yeah? Bullies, I'm guessing?

[deploy]

I would've done that, if I'd known what teenage rebellion looked like. My idea of sticking it to the man was mismatching my socks.

Could've used you at my school. Maybe having a friend would have changed something. At the very least we could've gotten up to some real trouble.

Yeah. Bullies. I was the runt and my hair stuck up funny.

[winscenario]

*GASPS!* Mismatching socks, John! How could you????

Still sticks up funny. But it's cute.

I'd have beat up those bullies for you. [ Or gotten beat up, whatever. ] Well I'm your friend now. Better late than never?

[deploy]

I know. Just call me James Dean.

By cute you mean handsome and manly, right?

Better late than never... depending on your answer to that last question.

[winscenario]

You're very manly too, John. Don't worry.

Anyway, what's so wrong about being cute?
