Let's Try This Again [ Action + Locked Voice ]

[ Locked to Arya, Spock, and Emil - 90% Unhackable ]

Okay, so, seems Luceti doesn't want us hanging out at a camp site, but screw that, we're going this weekend. I still have all the stuff, so we're pretty much set. But, uh, Spock you're going to have to get yourself some other clothes. I still only have the ones we picked for your bitty self...

[ Locked to Spock, 100% Unhackable ]

Hey, I want to talk to you about something. Let me know when you got time, we can go down to Buffy's or something, get a drink, and talk there.

[ All of that done, it was time to go and run some errands and fill up his day - which suddenly seemed a bit harder than it should.

He could at least start by really getting back into his workout. It had kind of gone wonky the last few weeks. Don't even get him started on the last weekend. He could still hear that odd speech pattern in his head and it made him wince. How? How had anyone put up with that? And he had been posing, hadn't he? He was sure he had, because he remembered looking at himself in the mirror... and no. Nope. Not going there. He was going to the battle dome now and he was going to make use of it. He spent the morning working out against simulations and doing resistance training, the release of exercise endorphines sending a nice, happy tingle through him.

Eventually, he had to stop though and get some real errands done - which basically meant the grocery story because somehow that had become his job when it came to feeding two grown adults, a teenage girl, and a wolf the size of a pony. Seriously, you try telling that thing what it can and cannot eat. If it wants to eat, it eats. Which meant grocery shopping and hauling it all back.

But even with doing that, it left an afternoon partially open, and he wanted to do something new. And what might that be? Well... why not go to the barn? He knew they had one and had horses (it made sense since they had ponies, right?), and while he had never really been much of an animal person, it might not be a bad idea to become acquainted with another potential forms of transportation after all. That in mind, he headed that way, with a pocket full of carrots. Horses like carrots, right? ]

That sounds good to me! It should be warmer now, too, so we don't have to worry about taking as much extra clothing along.

Oh, that reminds me, what kinds of things do you like to eat? I figured I should bring some food along just in case we don't end up being able to catch any fish.

Of course Captain...

[Spock may or may not sound sheepish...]
I will meet you at the establishment of your choice.
wannabolt: (did you drink too much cider?)

[Well, if he heads off to the stables, he might find something... vaguely horse-like mulling around, though the bright colors and big eyes might seem a bit jarring.

Presently, she's hovering around one of the apple trees, attempting to knock some down. It's what Applejack would want, after all, but... Hold the phone. Who's this dude?

Leaving her attempted apple bucking behind for the time being, Dash swoops down to investigate.]


You know, it's not every day somebody marches all the way out here.
wannabolt: (chillin')

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-12 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, this is true. Plus, Star Trek's pretty Sci-Fi anyway. Either way, Dash snickers. She can't really fault him for his curiosity.]

Well, here it is. Stinks that AJ's not here anymore; bet the place would've been way more lively with her running the show.
wannabolt: (um... so)

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-12 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they're probably hanging out in the stables.

[Pardon the faint shift in expression for a split-second; the stables make her uneasy for obvious reasons.]

Don't hang out there myself, but I know I've seen people riding before.
wannabolt: (worry)

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-12 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I mean, all the animals talk here, but their thoughts just aren't as complicated, I guess. Plus, it's just weird seeing horses and ponies so happy to act as steeds. Not to mention they don't really move the way us Equestrian ponies do.

[And to emphasize this, she crosses her forelegs like a human would cross their arms.]

It's like... I guess I'd compare it to hue-mans and monkeys. Similar, but there's obviously gonna be some communication problems.
wannabolt: (Wait what?)

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-12 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I guess that's not really their fault. I can't imagine being built like that, though. How do they even manage when they can't pick things up? And what if a bug lands on their face?

[Being unable to swat sucks, she's sure.]
spohkh: Thoughtful (Shh.... I'm thinking...)

[Action]

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-05-12 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[Spock shuts off the communication and makes his way from the Dome to the bar.
He find a small table at the back, away from any noise or people.]

[Arya gets his message, but she gets it while she's in the middle of practicing her Needlework out in the woods. She's almost forgotten about it by the time she's heading back to town, but, luckily, she comes across Kirk as he's on his way to the stables.

Nymeria gives him a lazy tail wave in greeting, but Arya gives him a quirked eyebrow. Carrots. In his pocket.]


What are the carrots for?

[Not dinner, that much is obvious.]

I believe I owe you an apology Captain. My behaviour was most...

... abhorrent during the previous shift.
I did not mean to publicly humiliate you Jim. I hope you can forgive me.
spohkh: (Jim)

Re: [Action]

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-05-12 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed...

Thank you.


[Spock looked at Jim warmly for a moment... then nodded.]
Please, proceed. What do you wish to talk about?
spohkh: (Bright)

Re: [Action]

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-05-12 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed... The first month we were here I did as much research into it as I was able.
What do you wish to know?

[Spock's eyes were bright. It's been awhile since he got to talk science... and he really really missed it.]
