[ 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! ♥))

The waltz, hmm?

Are you recruiting people to fly or people to dance? I thought you knew how to do at least one already.

[he knows it's both, but listen. this is teasing payback. which one does he mean?? it's a mystery.]

@maverick private;

I can waltz, but I'm rusty.

I'll help you if you're in a bind but... consider me your last option.

[winscenario]

Yes. I want to surprise Victor. I know he likes the waltz, but anything similar would do.

[winscenario]

Hey! I can do both, actually. Just... not very knowledgeable when it comes to ballroom dancing. Never had the opportunity to learn, I guess. Or a good reason.

[ Yes, something Jim Kirk can't do!!! The shock. ]

[winscenario]

I'll keep it in mind.

That's a shame, though. I can't believe you can dance. I'd love to see it.

I am programmed in all forms of dance. If that's helpful.

[winscenario]

That's very helpful, actually. The only problem would be me having to choose.

Are you a good teacher?

[evasives]

And to think, you are the one who tried to get me to dance at the Glow Ball.

[now he almost wishes he had accepted, just to witness disaster!jim.]

[but still, he can be...nice. he supposes.]

I know a few different ballroom dances. They are not all from the same planets.

[sentiences]

I should think so. At the very least, I would be meticulous and patient.

[winscenario]

Sometimes you don't need to know the steps to enjoy dancing anyway.

[ Well then, he would have been sorely disappointed, because Jim is annoyingly good at everything he tries, even on a first try. ]

That's perfect. Are you offering to teach me, then?

[winscenario]

And doubtlessly tease me if I make myself look like an idiot. You're just lucky you're cute.

Okay. That sounds like fun. I should pay you for the lessons, though. Seems fair.

[sentiences]

But I would be confidential in my teasing.

I don't really need that much money.

[evasives]

That sounds more like Jyn logic. [jyn whose version of dancing is nothing but yolo.]

[ONE DAY JIM KIRK. what happens when you cross two people who are both annoying good at things on the first try??]

If one of them is what you are looking for.

[winscenario]

I'll have to live with that.

You could use it to get stuff you want. But if not, then there has to be something else I can do for you. Like teach you something in return. Is there anything you can't do?

[winscenario]

She's not wrong, then. [ If she's having fun then literally no one ever can judge her. Jim will fight for her right to party. ]

Just the dancing. I could probably teach you a few piloting moves. Ass. [ Said lovingly. ]

[sentiences]

I'm sure you're used to it.

Nothing that I can't download and process myself. I'm sorry.

[winscenario]

I don't mean learn that way. What about learning from experience? Through trial and error? You know, like humans do. Have you ever tried that?

[sentiences]

[ A beat. ]

No. Never.

[winscenario]

Aren't you curious about it?

[sentiences]

I guess I've never thought about it.

[ Deep down . . . Dorian believes he can and that belief is enough. ]

[winscenario]

Well, think about it. Maybe there's something I know how to do and you don't, and I could teach you. Quid pro quo.

[sentiences]

All right. I'll give it some thought.

Waltz, huh?

Whatcha planning?

[winscenario]

Good.

How've you been doing, by the way? It's been a while.
