[and here's the charismatic, smiling face of James T. Kirk. he has business to tend to, and it's clear in his expression]

Morning, Tranquility, this is Jim Kirk.

Some of you may have heard my name floating around. I'm here to answer questions if any of you still have them.

[but this broadcast has the air of purpose, and he gets down to it pretty quick.]

Those of you that have been around for at least a handful of jumps are going to know what this is about, but for those of you that don't, during our stay on the Tranquility it has come to light that some of our number require more than what humans would consider regular dietary needs. Unfortunately, we haven't yet been able to synthesize all of these needs. Therefore, on behalf of one of that number, I'm asking some of you to come forward to donate to keep this individual from starving to death while on board. I'd like anyone with substantial stamina willing to volunteer to contact me. The procedure will be safe, and medical officers will be present at all times.

Kirk out.

[ooc: for those of you that don't know, this is in regards to THE WRAITH FEEDING PLOT that's an ongoing kind of thing. we need at least 10 volunteers so gimme all your victims do gooders!! if you have any questions you can contact me or pyraven!]

I remember the last time. You're not doing this again.

It's not your decision, Wesley.

No, it's not. But unlike most of the people here, I give a fuck about what happens to you.

Don't do this, Raven.

People do care about me! And I care about them, which is why I need to do this. I told him I would, I won't back out on that. [ nevermind that the 'him' is Kirk, and not the person in question. still, it doesn't matter. ] Two days in bed is better than letting someone die.

You go through with this and you can forget it. People like you always pull stupid shit like this, so maybe I should just stop giving a fuck.

[yes, he's well aware of what this all sounds like. but he doesn't care :|]

'People like me'? What is that supposed to mean?

If you do care about me you'll stop talking to me like I'm some kid you're forced to look after. I don't need you telling me what to do, thank you very much.

It means I gave a damn about you. Not that it matters now.

[shrug. sorry about this, raven.]

Have fun playing mutant snack pack.

[ there's a brief moment of panic, of fix this, fix this, but instead- ]

Oh no, you are not guilt tripping me into taking back my offer, it's not going to work. You have no right.

[personal profile] target 2012-09-20 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
You think this is about guilt tripping?

[he actually seems a little amused by that. briefly.]

The last person I gave a shit about has a bullet in her head. I'm not doing this again.

What? Not to downplay what you're saying, but you're being ridiculous. This isn't anything like that!

Yeah, of course. Having a monster feed off of you is completely different. There's no chance of you getting fucked over by thinking you're doing the right thing.

[ sigh, she's starting to soften up a bit, but. ]

That's not gonna happen. I trust Jim, and you should too. In this, at least. With me. [ she's nodding, confident, even as her tone loses the edge that was building up with the threat of fighting with Wesley about this. ] If it's not enough to trust me to look after myself, you can trust him to. It'll be just like last time, no sweat.

[personal profile] target 2012-09-20 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't trust him, and that's not gonna change.

[trusting people is a hassle at the best of times. least of all when it's someone who's given him no reason to try.]

You, I thought I did, but you keep throwing that back in my face. Like I said, I'm not doing this again, so just forget it.

Well that's your first mistake. [ Kirk's been there with her and looked out for her since day one, that's not something she's going to forget anytime soon. and she knows Wesley had no control over when he left, but the sting of that still isn't gone either. ] Forget what? You trying to make my decisions for me? Treating me like a child? Done and done.

No, what I wanted was for you to make the right choice and not fuck yourself over.

But seeing as you're so set on pulling this stunt again, forget this. You and me? We're done.

[... and that's him cutting the feed off there.]
