( closed ) I'll try not to sing out of key
who: Jim Kirk & close CR
what: a small get-together, and Jim introducing Victor to his friends
when: April 20th
where: a holosuite simulation of the Enterprise
warnings: none expected!
[ Jim's been in the Quarantine for a year now. Plenty of time to make connections, and establish a solid circle of friends that he cares for, trusts and relies on.
Granted, nothing's perfect. Plenty of people have come and gone. A number of names come to mind, too many people who left that he misses dearly. But the people he has here now, he cherishes them immensely. They're important to him, and some of them he'd almost consider family.
And Victor has mentioned more than once that he'd like to meet his friends. Jim's not keeping their relationship secret by any means, and after a month of going steady, he knows for sure how important Victor is to him, and that he'll be an important part of his life for as long as they're both in the Quarantine. So, it seems like the perfect time to set up a little get-together and invite his friends so he can introduce them to Victor.
Finding a place is a little tricky at first, because his loft is still inaccessible due to the flood, and it's not like he's gonna ask Victor to do it at his place. Beverly offers the perfect suggestion, though, and so Jim sets up one of the holosuites with his Enterprise program. Once arriving at the holosuites downtown and stepping inside, everyone will get to walk through a few of the various corridors of his ship, but the simulation is still fairly limited, and there's only so many areas one can visit. The small party itself is happening on the bridge, which would likely be the most inadequate location if this happened to be the real Enterprise. Seen as it isn't, though, no harm done.
There are a few snacks and sweets for people to help themselves to, plenty of drinks to go around (alcoholic and otherwise), and Jim has gone with a selection of old pop and rock music to be playing quietly in the background. It's not much, but it's really a very informal thing. His main purpose here —and he'll be going around the party making sure it happens— is to introduce Victor to his friends. ]
(( ooc: I'll be going around tossing Jim at people, possibly with Victor tagging along, but everyone's more than free to take this as an open log, so set up your own starters and tag around to your heart's content! ))

[So that was his boyfriend's name. It sounded nice. Rey looked to where Jim was pointing to and saw him. He seemed nice, but Rey was protective of her friend. While she could trust Jim's judgement, she didn't want to see him hurt. Otherwise....she may have words with Victor.]
Good. That's how it sound be, right? [A rhetorical question, because that's how it should be. Though, the person who made her feel anything....no, no, she wasn't going to go down that road.
The kiss to her temple caught her off guard, blinking a little. Should he really be doing that? It was innocent, she knew, but she didn't want his boyfriend to get the wrong idea..]
You sure? Even though I'm staying close to the walls? [Ribbing him a little.] Thank you for the invitation, probably would've been at the Guard training. If you ever want to bring Victor to movie night or anything, you could. I wouldn't mind.
no subject
Yeah, even then. Funny thing that most of my friends are wallflowers. You guys just keep popping up, go figure. [ He smiles, winking teasingly at her. ]
Oh, no. Movie nights are our thing. We can find something else to do together, though. The three of us.
no subject
[Rey caught onto that teasing, even laughing a little at that wink. He just attracted different types of people--helped them come out of their shell. Though, for Rey, it was hard to break old habits, keeping to herself in big crowds and unsure how to actually talk to others too.
But, she was learning. Baby steps and all that.][He wanted to keep it 'their' thing? That was touching. She thought when people go into a relationships things changed (because they do) and she was willing to have their thing include Victor to. Or whoever else Jim wanted. She wouldn't mind, just watching films (hologram or not) was fun and eating different snacks and...not thinking too much on things and have fun.]
We could figure something to do. I mean, what does he--or what do you two like to do? Aside from collect wallflowers.
no subject
[ It's the norm, with his friends. He's always been the most sociable and outgoing on any group of people. The people at this party, for instance, they're mostly fairly shy or reserved, yet they also enjoy adventure much like Jim. Rey is no exception, for instance.
Anyway, some things do change when one gets into a relationship. But his friends are important, to him. Having time with them, and having a social life outside of his relationship with Victor. It was the same when he had Bones, and he doesn't plan on changing that this time around.
Victor understands and accepts it, and Jim appreciates that. There's plenty of things he will happily include Victor in, but that doesn't mean he has to sacrifice his personal time with his friends, or include him every single time. ]
Well... movies, books and music. Victor loves drawing, and science. Oh, he's shown some interest in going beyond the wall for a bit of exploration, so we could do something involving that.
no subject
[Rey said in a soft, serious voice. But her words carried a hint of teasing. People could be wall flowers, like her, but she was adventurous when she wanted--and needed to be. She didn't do well with groups, but she was slowly coming out of her shell little by little. At least she didn't stay for half an hour and then leave without saying a word.
Maybe one day, she wouldn't automatically stick to the walls. Maybe, she'd venture out, talk to someone and then head to the safety of the walls to people watch.
Rey tilted her head to the side for a moment.]
I don't know if that would be a good idea. I mean, we could go exploring, but can he defend himself? Or, are you thinking of taking the shuttle out for that?
[Because, well, she could use her speeder, but it could only fit up to two people. She would be fine for exploring, but if something happened...better to have 3 people fighting than 2.]
no subject
Please. Pretty much everyone at this party is exactly that: an adventurous wallflower.
[ Rey, even if she wouldn't see herself that way; Cassian and Jyn, who may as well spend more time beyond the walls than within them; Victor, who may be no fighter but certainly had a taste for adventure. He could go on. ]
I was thinking we could take the shuttle, yes. But for what it's worth, we've been out there a couple of times already, just him and me. Both on the shuttle and by foot. We've managed fairly well. There are areas closer to the inner wall that are perfectly safe, where wild animals are scarce, small and generally harmless.
[ With a few exceptions, sure, but Jim had never had too many troubles. He wouldn't take anyone farther away if he wasn't sure they could defend themselves, though. ]
no subject
She trusted Jim, but if they were leaving the safety of the Quarantine, she wanted to make sure they were prepared for it.]
No, that should be okay. I didn't know you took him out that far already. Going by Speeder would be better than foot--I think we should be fine. As long as you... [She nudges his arm a little.] Don't try to show off or attract trouble.
[Have to tease him a little, that's what adventurous wallflowers do.]
no subject
[ And Jim means that as not just when they go out with Victor, but on other occasions too. The shuttle provides better and quicker access to more distant locations, and the speeder can easily be loaded onto the cargo bay.
He laughs and shakes a hand at her. ] Oh, sure! Because I do that all the time. Blast some tunes out loud, shoot some flares, yell at the top of my lungs. Just to see how much wildlife I can attract. That's smart— and mature.
