[+1 alien princess, more confused than miffed. Kori is wringing her hair out while sitting on the edge of the fountain. She has made three unsuccessful attempts to contact hot best friend #1 and hot best friend/ex-boyfriend #2 and one successful attempt to find a hairbrush.

All things considered, she has been worse in situations. ]
hischair: (gross amounts of sexy on the bridge.)

dang gurl

Do you need a hand drying off, miss?

[ Cue one bright-eyed Jim Kirk stepping up to be a complete gent. Yeah, that's right. Shut your faces. ]

You seem to have gotten a little more wet than you can handle, I believe I could help with that.
fiamme: (Default)

hey hot stuff

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a towel?

[A curious head tilt. That's a lotta yellow for one dude.

But! A confused squint.]


I don't really understand what you mean. I have been approximately wetter than I am right now. I live next to the ocean.
hischair: (the bridge is just shiny enough yes.)

the most attractive thread

[ Scuse you he is a golden sunrise of sunflowery joy. ]

You do, huh? Me too, over in San Francisco. Can't say I ever fell in a fountain there, though. [ Shrugging off his leather jacket, Jim drapes it on the edge of the fountain and starts unbuttoning the flannel shirt underneath, stolen off Bones' washing pile. Jim still has a yellow tee on underneath, he'll be fine once he hands the long-sleeve over. ] Here you go, you can use this.

[ G E N T. ]

gets 2 this after feeding my new stray cat

[Fell? Kori folds a leg over the other and flips her hair over her shoulders. She smiles, the corners of her eyes crinkling in amusement as she takes the long-sleeve. ]

I landed into it, actually. Thank you, for your shirt.

[Carefully, she reaches behind her and gathers her hair up, slipping one arm into the shirt (and then swapping to slip in the other). She gives Jim a curious once over. Human, most likely. Average height. Cute.

She beams at him. ]


It is nice to meet you! I am Koriand'r, I am afraid that I am very lost.
hischair: (stop being cute.)

spoiler the cat is me

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her smile prompts his own, weathered but bright as he nods for her to help herself to Bones' his shirt. She's stunning to say the least, golden skin and exotic eyes — damn. ]

I'm Jim Kirk, good to meet you too. [ He sits on the edge of the fountain next to her, a knee bumping the leg folded over hers as he gathers his coat in his hands. ] The easier explanation is that you got sucked into an early vacation spot.
fiamme: (Default)

you're in luck i just fed you

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her hair is let loose to cascade down her back, dripping into the fountain and soaking the back of Bones' Jim's shirt. She blinks her eyes wide in surprise, before she reconsiders the meaning behind his words. English. ]

Where is this 'early vacation' spot?

[She is fairly sure that wasn't a literal statement. 80% sure. ]
hischair: (#kirk lyf.)

food babyyy

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That shirt is the best shirt in all existence. Ave Maria, whatthefuckever. ]

It's a nexus, a ... Sort of a hub between dimensions, people get sucked in from all kinds of places. [ His head tilts. ] Are you going to freak out?
fiamme: (Default)

yesss

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
A nexus. I see.

[She gives him a level stare, her smile morphing into a frown. ] I do not like being held against my will. It does not bode well for my captors.

[She pinches a brow. ] This does not seem like a prison, however. Why was I taken?
hischair: (nice turnout.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd like to go a few rounds with them too. We've all been dragged in accidentally, people think.

[ He ducks his head slightly to catch her eye. ]

We'll get out though. No one's going to stop trying until we do.
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That is very reassuring.

[She indulges him and meets his eyes. She offers a tiny, grateful smile too. ]

How many are here? I tried to contact my friends, but I feel that they did not follow me here.

[Then, brightly: ] You are human, aren't you?
hischair: (if you think so.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ahw, she's cute when she smiles. ]

Hundreds, I'd say. You 'feel' your friends aren't here? I'm human, yes, but what are you?
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that not the correct thing to say? They will not answer when I try to call them, I mean.

[English is such a pain in the butt sometimes, man. But she grins, ear to ear in enthuasiasm. ]

I am Tamaranean! But, I am have lived on Earth for a very long time now.
hischair: (looking good.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, you're doing great. The whole place is like a bubble, we can't contact people outside of it. That requires a little more work than dialing a number and trying to get reception.

[ Or hit the same frequency. He chins a hand, elbow on a knee thoughtfully. ]

Are all Tamaraneans as beautiful as you?
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Thought they cannot all do what I can do.

[She lifts a hand, as a demonstration and flicks a lavender starbolt out into the air. ]

I am on my own, though. [A small pause. ] Are there any islands, here?
hischair: (something to add.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Well, then. ]

That is impressive. [ Blinking back to her as the fizzy purple light dies off, Jim shakes his head. ] Not as far as I've searched so far. It's a City and there's an underground, there are forests around it. I haven't been able to find my way through them to the edge, though.
fiamme: (Default)

1/2

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Cities and I do not agree with one another in the long term.

[There is an obvious hint at a history there; too many buildings destroyed, too many injuries while fighting in battles. Her shoulders slump a little, but it's a brief disappointment.

Kori can adapt. ]

fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I will have to try very hard here, then.

[You know to not ... blow stuff up. Or .. punch people through walls. ]
hischair: (ps: you're way too hot.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-25 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He waits out her pensive silence, reading the hesitation and disappointment there. A soft snort later and he gives a nod, clasping his coat where it drapes between his knees. ]

I'll let you know how you're doing, Kori.

[ A solemn promise. ]
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-25 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That is very kind of you.

[He reminds her, somewhat, of someone she has tried very hard to forget about. Not of Roy, who was funny and charming - but of Dick who was easy to speak with, endlessly open with her and humored all her quirks and took all the cultural differences in his stride.

It's a nice, familiar sort of feeling. She likes Jim Kirk, she decides. Jim Kirk can stay.

She smiles a mischievous smile. ]


Do you like to fly?
hischair: (cuterrr oh no.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-26 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He grins and nods encouragingly. ]

I love to fly. I'm actually the captain of a starship, that's how much.
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-26 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You are?

[She pauses, glancing up towards the sky as she considers this. Humans, back home, don't have starships. Not anyone who isn't the Justice League, anyway. She taps her finger against her chin and then springs to her feet.

Wide, green eyes bear down on him as she takes a step backwards. ]


In my world, humans do not have starships that can go very far. But, I did not mean starships at all. I meant, do you like to fly?

[To emphasize her point, she floats just a little off the ground. ]
hischair: (oh shit oh shit oh shit.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Joining her on his feet, Jim has to reassert his grip on his jacket; no, fuck that, he tugs it on so his hands are free, reaching one out to her. ]

I can't do that, even if I'd like to. How are you ... ?
fiamme: (Default)

[personal profile] fiamme 2013-08-26 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brushing her fingers against his, she grips onto his hand (trying, as an afterthought, to mind her own strength). ]

It is biological. This sun and Earth's sun grants my people the power of flight.
hischair: (had an alibi the WHOLE. TIME.)

[personal profile] hischair 2013-08-26 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He has the irrational fear she'll float way like a balloon, stretching up with a laugh to curl his fingers around hers and keep Kori tethered. ]

I don't mind admitting I'm jealous.
