Giving the Tour [for losthunter]

[boldygoing]

It has been a week or two since the Enterprise was in any kind of condition to entertain visitors. A supply run here, a survey mission there, nothing close to casual enough for Captain Kirk to justify setting aside a little time to have a guest aboard, his days taken up by the duties of command. And certainly not out in the middle of deep space, where an unexpected visitor would be more likely to be seen as a stowaway or intruder, no matter if the captain vouched for them or not.

But it has been six months since the crew's last chance for shore leave, so after the debriefings are complete, Starfleet Command gives the slightly weary crew a brief three days off while the ship's systems are inspected and recalibrated. And it's a perfect opportunity to make good on his offer from a while ago.

Jim sits at a shuttle terminal in downtown San Francisco, a gold-shirt in a small sea of red and blue, all Starfleet personnel waiting to be taken up to various starships in orbit or in Spacedock. He knows it might be a few minutes before Hunter arrives, and keeps himself busy reviewing reports on a padd, keeping an eye out for the distinctive tattoos of his invited guest.

"You don't. You just get to enjoy it all." And Hunter leans back so he can climb onto that bed. "And just let me find all those ways to excite you."

The fact that Hunter enjoys finding ways to spoil his lover is something that Jim would have found out after their first evening together. Tonight is not going to be any different.

[boldygoing]

Jim is all for that plan, all but chasing Hunter down onto the narrow bunk, heedless of the way their movements wrinkle the military-neat sheets. He has far more important concerns at the moment. It's time to find out just whether or not this bed truly is big enough.

And if it's not, well, they're both creative.

[losthunter]

[Awww. They are adorably flirtatious together]

[boldygoing]

[They so are. :P nice happy moments before Jim goes through some bad times]

[losthunter]

[The drama queen in me is equally excited for the bad times. But I am glad that Jim has some happy moments beforehand]

[boldygoing]

[Haha me too. I've already put him through so much shit in fanfic and now RP!Jim has to deal with awful canon stuff. Things happen fast enough that he wouldn't really have time to contact Hunter during the crisis, but after that he's in a coma for two weeks and stuck in the hospital for weeks after. So am trying to figure what might be the best way to play it out. ;) I'm sure at the very least that Hunter would probably want to visit him during his recovery.]

[losthunter]

[Hunter would worry a little when he doesn't hear from Jim for an extended period of time. Especially if he hears that Jim was in a coma for that time. Hopefully there is a way to play it out, even if it is after Jim is out of the hospital and tying up loose ends.]

[boldygoing]

[That's actually one reason I made sure Spock met Hunter - now he knows Jim is (sort of) seeing someone and they're friendly enough that it's clear Hunter isn't just a meaningless one-night stand, so he might think to go through Jim's contacts and send Hunter a message about it. I would be more than up for doing scenes with Jim in the hospital. ; D The only trouble is if he's still comatose, not much chance for interaction with Jim, lol. I have decent head voices for main crew but I don't know how you'd want to handle it.]

[boldygoing]

[Dreamwidth told me it posted my comment and now I don't see it so if you get two replies I apologize. I wanted Spock to meet Hunter on purpose with this in mind - now he knows that Jim is (sort of) seeing somebody and it seems at least a little more serious than a meaningless one-night stand, so he might think to go through Jim's contacts and send Hunter a message, after a little bit. I am more than willing to do hospital scenes :D But if Hunter visits while Jim is still comatose, he won't have Jim to interact with. My main crew headvoices are okay but I don't know how you feel about it.]

[losthunter]

[There must have been a Dreamwidth lag. I never got the notification of the first message. Then I got two notifications, one for the first and the other for the second, when you posted this one.

That makes sense for Spoke to sending Hunter a message. I am game for Hospital Scenes. I also agree that the comatose scenes would be tougher... but that is why I love those little drama moments for. If you feel you are comfortable doing the main crew for a part of a scene where Jim is comatose, I am up for that. And then of course, he will be there once Jim is awake.]

[boldygoing]

[Yeah it's weird, the moment I submitted the second comment, the first one showed up for me too even though it was almost a half hour later.

Yay for hospital scenes! :D Now we just have to decide if we want to give any RL delay or just leap straight into it. ;) ]

[losthunter]

[For my own RL, I do not work this weekend and would be able to post frequently. So I don't mind a leap into it]

[boldygoing]

[I have a three day weekend also ('merican holidays, wooo). We are celebrating my older brother's birthday on one of those days though, so I may be out and about on one of those days but I don't know which yet.

BTW, I don't know about you but I find it amusing that so many years after we started doing Clark/April plots, we are once again playing a character with access to advanced technology who shows off the beauty of Earth from orbit to an artistic gentle soul type character. ;) Apparently we have a type, lol.]

[losthunter]

[Yah for three-day weekends. We just had our Victoria Day long day weekend. Forgot that Memorial day weekend follows in the States.

LOL. We certainly go for certain types of characters. It is great to have an opportunity to play through different RP options again. Feels good.]

[boldygoing]

[Yeah it does. :D

I will see if I can get a thread-starter up in a little bit.]

[losthunter]

[Woot!]

[boldygoing]

[Post up!]
