7th World: [ voice/video ] A Question of the Mind

[ The image presented on the screen shows a Kirk that looks like he probably just got up. He doesn't have enough hair for it to look to messy, but somehow it manages it, and his eyes look bleary. He runs a hand over his face and sighs. ]

Okay, how badly do you need therapy when even you have to admit that you need therapy?

My superiors just tried to train them out of me. [The admission is a little wry, and she actually surprises herself when the words slip out before she entirely intends them to. It's not like her to share personal experiences, not with anyone. But then she shrugs dismissively and changes the subject, just in case.]

I'm not sure an entire decade of lessons would do any good when you come to it for real. I'm not sure it's ever the same twice.

Yeah, well, I'd give anything for having gotten some instruction. My uncle wasn't very good with teaching me how to deal with this stuff either, but then he was never very happy with me after I crashed his car.

Held a grudge, did he?

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

Well, it was antique and I kind of did crash it into a canyon....

Re: Video | Locked

[widows_kiss]

... A canyon.

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

Yeah, a canyon. I felt kind of proud of it actually - all secret spy. Running from the cops, canyon coming up, set the car on auto, bailed out the door in a roll and over the side it went.

I was only twelve too. It is the shining star on my record to this day.

...I can see why your uncle might hold a grudge.

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

The dude was asking for it, that's all I have to say.

Re: Video | Locked

[widows_kiss]

He asked you to drive his car into a canyon?

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

If you knew him, trust me.

Re: Video | Locked

[widows_kiss]

I'm sure your 12-year-old self had very good reasons.

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

I like to think that, and then another part of me thinks I was just really, really bored. And you know what twelve year old boys are like.

Re: Video | Locked

[widows_kiss]

Actually, I haven't known all that many twelve year old boys. Although what I have seen hasn't convinced me they change all that much with age.

Re: Video | Locked

[universal_charm]

I am probably guilty of that, in a lot of ways.
