[action] - hopping out on a field trip, but i'll tag more tonight. <3.slayingNovember 5 2009, 08:45:00 UTC
[She approaches the bridge that's come to be recognized in her head as Kirk's Bridge; however, she looks mildly uncertain about it. After all, she's not from a future time period. If anything, in comparison to some of the other modernish folks, she's found out that she's lagging by a few years. Still--she figures she owes the Captain an apology for how she had behaved at the fair.
After a few minutes, the Slayer will find a spot leaning quietly near Kirk. She doesn't speak yet, but just watches.]

[ Kirk notices Buffy and motions her over. She is from a few centuries back by his time. But, none the less, Kirk considers her an Honorary Member of his crew. Oh, Starfleet would have a fit if they knew that and how they were together. Oh well. They can stuff it. ]
Oh, so this is a genuine Captain Kirk artifact? [She reaches out, catching his sleeve with gloved fingers and getting a closer look.] You look better prepared than me--none of my really-mine stuff'll do. South California isn't so hot on the cold stuff. Go figure.
I'm thinking some kind of mind-mojo. Like an enchantment that just kind of automatically pulls this stuff out of us, y'know? Memories and stuff. Half of the stuff in the shops just seem to turn up 'cause one of us wants it there. [Pause.] So, maybe I should wish for a parka of my own.
[She shakes her head.] That'd be a bit too damselish for me. I'd rather tough it out--besides, word on the street is that you're aiming to hang out here for a while. I think you need it more than I do.
[She brushes some accumulated snow off her sleeves.] And...look, Jim? I didn't want to come and rain on your snowy future-people parade. I just came to apologize for the whole hotel thing. You really didn't want to be there and I'm sorry.
[ Kirk watches her for a moment before sighing, leaning back against the bridge with his arms folded. There's a moment before he leans over and nudges her slightly in the arm with his. ]
It's fine, Buff, really. It gave me the idea for this whole "future-people parade." I shouldn't have been such a bastard about it.
[The nudge has the knock-off effect of a smile.] A bastard? Don't even worry, you're still--like--a billion points in the lead when compared to the exes. For example, you haven't gone evil and tried to destroy the world yet--right? Or gotten addicted to vamp-bites. Plus, I said I could tough stuff out. You're doing just fine and I should've known better than to be the typical drag the guy to what he really doesn't want kind of gal.
Would it bug you if I did? [She winces, peremptorily.] You've got this whole...world. Way far away and up there--[indicating above their heads, in space]--and it's nice to have a little something to imagine that by.
[Everyone seemed to be left with something unhelpful from their worlds, but there hadn't been anything that Buffy was interested in from her own. Weapons and charms and designer handbags didn't have the same meaning.]
[ He frowns at the wince she gave. His blue eyes go down to the ground for a moment before turning back to her. He offers a small smile, though there's a lot more guilt in there. ]
It's fine. I mean, it is the closet thing other than a bad drawing of her that I can show you.
[Buffy can't quite pin down what the matter is, but there's a feeling that things aren't perfectly hunky dory. In search of a band-aid, she slides closer and tucks her arms around one of Kirk's elbows. Three, two, one smile.]
After a few minutes, the Slayer will find a spot leaning quietly near Kirk. She doesn't speak yet, but just watches.]

I've gotta admit--she looks pretty flash.

[ Yes, he was good with words, thank you. Though her smile just makes him give a bigger dorkier one. ]
