[Comes in grumbling about having to chase down Spock AGAIN for his physical. Doesn't know how the man does it, but he keeps evading those. Sneaky hobgoblin. Goes into office... gets attacked by more tinsel.]
Goddamn molesting useless orna- eh? [Stops fighting the tinsel for control of his left ear. Sees a bottle on his desk.] What the... [Looks around, suspecting Jim somehow. It's ALWAYS Jim.] Bourbon. With a note. [Another look around. Hey, he confesses to a healthy dose of paranoia. It's not a problem. It isn't.] "Apology accepted"? No... name. [Stares at bottle of bourbon a little while longer.]
. . .
Fer Chris'sakes, Jim! If I've done somethin' wrong again, why can't ya jus tell me like a normal Human being? Women. [Sighs, broods on what the 'hint' might be for this time.]
[ She just happens to overhear him from where she was hiding, waiting for him to show up. Pokes her head in his office and smiles casually. ] You bellowed, Bones?
Pop up outta thin air! [Suspicious glare.] You ain't playin' with the transporter again, are ya? Ya know I hate that shit.
[Arches a brow at the other question.] I don't, Jim. Why dontcha tell me where ya got it. [Looks at bottle again.] .... Good stuff, though. 'M impressed.
All it says is "Apology accepted". Thought that was you in one of your subtler moods. [Snorts, plays with the card a moment. It's almost like a kid with a new, grotesque backyard 'pet'.] 'Pose someone left it in here by accident? Wunder if M'Benga even drinks...
Bones, when have I ever been subtle about anything? And I think chances are that a bottle of bourbon in your office is meant for you. So... Only question now is, who have you apologized to lately, or needed to apologize to?
Grrr... LJ. Apologies for lateness! ^_^""my_god_manDecember 10 2009, 16:42:25 UTC
[Rolls eyes.] Just hold on while I go compile a database, Jim. God knows how many people I should apologize to any given day. Can't think of anyone who'd give me bourbon.
[Stares at the bottle contemplatively.] Well, there's Scotty. I was jokin' 'bout that one, but leave it to a Scotsman ta find any reason fer a drink. [Smirks fondly.]
Don't worry about it. I know RL gets in the way sometimes. :)cptn_j_kirkDecember 12 2009, 02:51:24 UTC
I cooperate... Sometimes...
What I meant was, why would he leave it on your desk instead of just giving it to you? And even with his bad handwriting, why go through the trouble of writing a card and then not signing it?
Your the bestest capt'n evah. XDmy_god_manDecember 12 2009, 04:06:12 UTC
The only thing that "frustrate" and "cooperate" have in common is the suffix, Jim. [Teasing smirk.]
Well, we're both busy men. Can't always coordinate a meet up with our schedules. An' no alcohol on the clock, remember? [Smiles mockingly, taking some private revenge for being lectured about that a couple of times.]
Awww, thanks. ;) It's fine, really. RL often gets in the way for me too.cptn_j_kirkDecember 12 2009, 04:13:53 UTC
Aha! So you admit it. You're frustrated. I knew it. [ Here, Bones, have a gloating smile. ]
Oh, I remember alright. I remember telling you about it too on occasion. Still, it just doesn't seem like the kind of thing a man would do for another man. Unless of course they were... You know... Bones, is there something you haven't told me about you and Scotty? [ And she'll just tease him right back. ]

[ For once she manages a completely innocent and oblivious look. ] What? I've never seen that bottle before in my life.

[Looks down at the bottle again, as if expecting it to just start confessing.] Then where the hell did this come from?

But why would Scotty leave it on your desk and not sign the card? That doesn't sound like something he'd do.

[Snorts.] Have ya seen the man's handwritin'? Might as well not bother.
