Kirk to Enterprise, or more specifically, Kirk to Mister Scott. Mind telling me what the hell went wrong? I thought-- [Here Kirk’s voice becomes a bit muted, as though he’s turned away from his communicator. The greeters are attempting to get his attention, but the Starfleet captain is having none of that.] Hey, listen, sorry about the disturbance

Um...are you trying to talk to a friend? They're probably not here.

voice;

[endowedcaptain]

Yeah, a few friends, actually. [He grimaces a little since he's only on voice function.] I sorta gathered that they aren't around. Or who knows, maybe they are and they're just too outta sorts to get back to me.

I don't suppose it's common for people that know one another to show up..?

voice;

[herausgesucht]

It's not uncommon. Not all the newcomers know someone from home, but quite a few do. I do...at least one person.

voice;

[endowedcaptain]

So either I've got some pals waiting for me that I haven't found, or I'm the first to explore this alternate dimension. ...I dunno, sounds pretty win/win to me.

voice;

[herausgesucht]

You're taking this pretty well.

voice;

[endowedcaptain]

What can I say, I roll with the punches. Besides, I've had a little experience with ending up somewhere I really didn't want to be. Jim Kirk's the name.

[herausgesucht]

I'm Nina Fortner.

Did you travel a lot, where you're from?

voice;

[endowedcaptain]

In a sense I did, though that's not exactly what I was referring to. [His teasing tone suggests that if she's looking for a better explanation, she's going to have to ask for it.]

voice;

[herausgesucht]

That's pretty vague. [Maybe she will, maybe she won't.]

voice;

[endowedcaptain]

Vague doesn't do it for you?

voice;

[herausgesucht]

Specific is a lot more helpful.

voice -> video;

[endowedcaptain]

Let's do a trade. I'll spill the beans, but you.. [He switches over to video feed. Say hello to this charming young visage of his~] ..gotta let me see your face. Deal?

voice -> video;

[herausgesucht]

[chuckling] All right.

[switching over herself]

Now you have to provide beans.

[Another pretty woman. He's liking this place so far.]

A few years back, I wasn't exactly on the fast track to success. Partied hard, fought harder, usually ended up in a cell for the ruckus. [Kirk smiles disarmingly.] I'm all good and reformed now, though. Only fight when I've got good reason. [A moment's pause.] Well. Unfortunately that still ended up with me getting marooned on a planet of ice and death.

[Careful, good sir, she will not stand for anyone getting handsy.]

You sound like some of the boys at my school-[wait] Ice planet?

[endowedcaptain]

[No worries, he won't get handsy! ..Okay maybe he will if he's had a little to drink, but for the most part he's harmless.]

School, huh? What're you studying? [He's hoping she's not in high school. That'd suck. His lips twitch into a tight-lipped lopsided grin, the kind that signifies anything but affection for whatever he's about to mention.] Ice planet. Any way you looked, it was just snow and ice and cold. The huge carnivorous lifeforms there were just a bonus. It was great, except for the part where it really wasn't.
