Captain James T. Kirk (jimtkirk) wrote in labyrinth_rpg,

It would've been confusing for anyone at first... at least Kirk assumed it would be. It was sort of a hard concept to grasp as it was. Normally you didn't run into someone who knew of you and then proceeded to tell you that you existed on some television show in what you believed to be the past. This revelation sort of turned Kirk's world upside down. The only real comfort he drew from it was her referance to the Vulcans. Oh he knew they had emotions. He'd known it since that mind-meld with the older Spock and after he'd emotionally compromised his first officer. It was just nice to know that someone else knew. No matter how much Spock tried t deny it or stood by all stoney faced and cool there was the chance that deep beneath that surface he was as panicked about things as Kirk. "Yeah... Vulcans are kind of big on all that privacy. You'd think it would change after their planet was destroyed and they'd want it to live on." He scoffed a little before rolling his eyes. "Guess no one else in the universe is worthy of being in their secret club."

He had to bite his tongue from arguing that he was, indeed, James Tiberius Kirk and the Captain of the Starship Enterprise. He was pretty sure he knew who he was. Though... he could understand her confusion. There were certain physical differences between him and the James Kirk he'd seen in the elder Spock's memmories. Either way the two of them were similiar enough that Spock had recognized him for who he was. "Oh... yeah that." He said nodding his head before realizing she wouldn't know what the hell he was talking about. "The differences in height and eye color? Yeah, well as near as I can tell we both had a medication screw up. It's my theory that my alternate universe counterpart ended up on a medication that made him unable to reach his full growth height. Bones told me it's possible. As for me... I have this horrible allergy to these eye drops. When I was, like, eleven I had pretty bad vision and my step-father forced them on me despite that allergy. I nearly went blind and it caused a discoloration of my eyes... destroyed a lot of the pigment. So instead of brown, like my brother's, I ended up with blue. I can see pretty well now though." He shrugged. "Bones says that can happen too. And... currently, I'm the only one who calls him Bones. It's nice to know it catches on though. I only just received the position of Captain. The youngest at 25, and all that. The elder Spock told me that my counterpart wasn't Captain until he was 30 and that was considered young." He wasn't being cocky, just stating facts.

He paused to listen as she, once more, tried to explain it. It still wasn't something he wanted to believe but she wasn't lying about it. She knew things no one outside of the Enterprise would know. Unlike his counterpart who seemed to be able to take everything in his stride Kirk's past had left him open for feelings of inadequacy and abandonment issues which lead to periods of angst. Fortunately, Kirk wasn't one to allow any of these issues to show publically. He'd worry about what all of this meant when he was away from Faith and on his own. "Ohhh..." He said, sounding as if it had all finally clicked for him. "I don't think that's completely accurate though. If I'm among the main characters of this show it can't possibly be geeky."
