So. It's come to my attention that we are like-- [he squints off-camera for a moment] three days away from Valentine's, and I've only got two questions: Where's the party, and who's in the market for a date? For the record, I am a Capricorn with exceptional taste in music, poetry, cars and alcohol.

[-- a slight pause.]

And, I mean. Come on, look at me.

[The most ridiculous, devil-may-care grin imaginable. Hear ye, hear ye, ladies and gents, Jim Kirk has the floor. But after a moment it fades and he clears his throat, going back to 'business', so to speak.]

Name's Kirk! Friends call me Jim. I'm new, but don't worry about the welcome wagon. Got that sorted out on my own. My kingdom for a good hamburger.

[And with an airy little wave, he disconnects.]

[ooc; 4th walling info for the curious!]

[!!]

No way. How?

[TELL HIM YOUR SECRETS.]

[ If only Ray was the evil laughter sort. ]

Y'know that file they give you? When your ass first lands here?

[Does he ever. Still, his expression doesn't reflect the utter distaste he has for it.]

Mmhm?

Right. That. One of those oh-so-superheroey things I can do? Turn any car i'm in into a GTO. Dunno how that's gonna save any lives, but it's gonna be fun.

[THAT IS SO MUCH COOLER THAN WHAT HE GOT SADDLED WITH WOW? Jim just grins.]

Holy crap. Permanent?

[ Stop grinning like a douche, Ray. It's rude. HE'S TRYING NOT TO. ]

Don't know, haven't tried it yet.

[NAH MAN IT'S ALL GRINNING ALL THE TIME IN TEAM FUCKYEAHCARS.]

You let me come along for your inaugural attempt and I will make you the best damn fries you've ever had just for the occasion.

-- Good time to mention I ended up with a job as a hovercraft engineer, huh?

[Access to cars. He has it.]

[ OH WELL OKAY GOOD, BECAUSE RAY IS SO AMUSED BY THIS. ]

You think I can say no to that? Might as well have someone to give it a go with who'll actually get a kick out of the experience. Last thing I want is some killjoy thinkin' there's nothing to even be excited about.

[ okay now he just snerks. ] Least you get to work with, uh- something you love?

But they fly. Not the same thing.

[He likes his cars grounded and his flying things spacebound, okay.]

And hey, just name a time and a place.

Not even close. Might be interesting to take it apart, though. Y'know. Once.

[ He feels for you, dude. Bro pain. ]

Uh, got a reason to be in De Chima, but mostly Heropa. Need a place worth driving in... [ hmmmmm. ]

Well I've barely been outside Maurtia yet so I don't have a word of advice there. We could always ask around?

[Driving around town is nothing like the open road, he knows. So finding a place is definitely a good idea.]

And i've to a barn, so uh- haven't really got the best frame of reference. I'd take a road straight out to anywhere, no problems there. See if we can find someone who knows the right way.

[ He's used to driving in the city but... there's interstates, right? RIGHT? ]

[Ray gets a dramatic fingerpoint.]

You're on. Just name the time and place to get started.

[ Oh ho a finger point huh. Srs bsnss time. ]

Gimmie a day. Two, maybe. Then you'll be hearing from me.

Works for me. Guess I'll see you then.

[And he tips his fingers in a little salute - too casual by far to be regulation anything - as he disconnects.]
