James Kirk smiled brightly as he stepped onto the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. This was it. He'd finally made it. The past three years had all been in preparation for this one precious moment. He was finally the Captain of his very own ship. What took a normal cadet eight years Kirk had managed to do in three. When he'd told Pike he do it in three years Kirk hadn't actually expected to actually be the Captain of his own ship in three years. This was all just... too surreal even for him. Sure, he lived in a world where what had once been considered impossible was now possible and he, himself, had come in contact with future versions of people he was supposed to become good friends with but this was still a little too much.

Practically beaming he spotted his best friend stanind upon the bridge and stepped forward to clap his hand upon the older man's shoulder. "Bones!" he called in greeting... just as he stepped forward and into a rather large hole which had opened up in the floor in front of him. He let out a soft gasp of surprise as he fell and landed on a hard surface beneath him. Kirk had kept his eyes shut for most of the fall but now that he, once again, felt a hard surface beneath his feet he opened his eyes and looked around. Was everything here really made of chocolate? "The hell?" he murmured as he turned to look at the chocolate buildings around him.

"Okay... I'm not injured enough to be hallucinating." He scoffed as he looked himself over. He was still covered in bruises from his fights with Spock and the Romulans. His chest was a roadmap of bruises from when he'd jumped from one platform to another and missed. The bruises on his neck in the shape of Spock's and Nero's and Nero's first mate's fingers were begining to show. Staring down at the game board beneath him. "Bones?" he called again, hoping his best friend would suddenly appear. Damn it! He was Captain now! They couldn't just beam him wherever the hell they felt like anymore.

His hands went to his pocket once more and this time he found exactly what he was looking for. Pulling the small device out of his pocket he pressed a button and held it out to her in the palm of his hand. "That's Bones." he said, smiling fondly at the shimmering, barely there but still visible image that appeared. "In case you're wondering, yes we still have cameras and paper pictures. This is just a little more fun. You get a 3-D hologram and it's like having a miniature see through version of them right in the palm of your hand. It's pricey though. I spent a lot of credits on this and then he bitched the entire time asking me what I wanted with an image of just him. He never knew... and now he never will." Unless this King was feeling generous.

Flipping the device off he slipped it back into his pocket before following her into the building. He decided that he liked the nickname 'JT' as opposed to anything else he'd been called. He followed her gaze to the small creatures and frowned. "Ugh... okay you're sure this is some other dimension and not just some kind of primitive prison planet because there are some freaky aliens in the galaxy." He had to trust her judgement though. If this was some planet he would've heard about it from Starfleet or, at least, have been warned about it. Moving towards the short little ugly guy he gave his name and was handed a book and a room key as well as a room assignment.

Heading back towards Faith as he looked over the book he grinned. It wasn't anything like the PADDs he was used to back home. The entire paper thing had died years ago. "This is the best thing ever, seriously. I've never had a paper book. Not even when I was little. Okay, so, show me the room or give me the grand tour or whatever the hell else there is to do in this place."

The dark-haired girl arched an eyebrow, but leaned in to peer at the miniature image. A smile touched her lips, and she nodded. "Okay, I gotta give it to you, he's a hottie. You gonna fuck him? You should. He has a sexy mouth." She frowned slightly. "He looks like that dude from those Lord of the Rings movies, the horse dude, you know?" Although, of course, there was no way that the man from the future could know anything about the Lord of the Rings movies, much less someone like Eomer. "Maybe he'll show, you know?"

She watched as he accepted his book and key, and then stole a glance at the key. "Okay, so you're in A building. Cool." She had been around long enough to know her way around, so she set out confidently in the direction that she know the building was in.

"You're never had a paper book? Fucked up." She glanced at him, grinned, and shook her head. He seriously was adorable, there was no doubt about that. Getting so excited over a journal. It sort of reminded her of her weaker moments when she got seriously excited about something, like when the mayor had gotten her a PlayStation. "So, like... what's it like, you know, in the future? Do people still get colds? What about sex? You ever screw an alien? What was it like?"

"Of course I've never had a paper book. Everything was done on PADDs. Little computerized clip board looking thingies. They were awesome." She might have liked them. He didn't have any of those damn PADDs though. They were a little clunky to carry around and Kirk hadn't exactly had a chance to grab his stuff before he'd been pulled into this place. "Before I go into all that other stuff you just asked... yes, if Bones is into dudes I plan on seducing him as soon as possible and getting him into bed. He's an older dude though. I think their into, like, romance or something, you know? Never really had that. I've never been in a relationship where the other person wants to take care of you and do things for you. It's always been just a quick tumble on the mattress and that's it."

He probably shouldn't have been discussing his sex life so freely with Faith. She was still a stranger no matter how much alike the two of them seemed to be. Kirk didn't seem to understand privacy though. She'd asked and he was more than willing to share. "Okay so the future is all right. We're all technologically advanced and stuff but that all came with a price. There was this huge war which decimated most of what used to be the United States. Mostly just the east coast though, everything going west was in pretty good shape. The Capital was moved to San Francisco and then, after we got rid of the borders and made First Contact and everything it became the base of operations for Starfleet. Outside of San Francisco we have a lot of farmland and shipyards. Outside of the bars and all the hover everythings it can get kind of boring. We still get sick but now we have things like hyposprays which inject medication directly into the bloodstream so we get better faster. We also have dermal regenerators that fix the skin right up, we have one for bones too. Leonard doesn't like either of them so if you break your arm or cut yourself he's just going to patch you up and let your body do all the work. Um... people are allergic to things too but it's rare. My allergies are the worst because I'm allergic to certain foods, plants, and a majority of the medications out there and with the hyposprays the reactions come on faster and stronger than they used to." He shrugged.

"And yes, I have screwed an alien. One of the girls I was sleeping with back in the academy was an Orion. It was amazing... but that could just be the species. Orions are mostly space pirates. The women release this pheremone which terran males can't resist. It has some kind of affect on women too." He shrugged. "Anyway she was amazing, dead now, but amazing. I lived in constant fear of pissing her off though. Orions are pirates and slave traders. I was always worried that I'd wake up and find myself being sold. Some species out there wouldn't care about my dashing good looks... since they'd just be interested in using me for food." Yeah, it was definitely not a good idea to piss off an Orion.

Every word that the young man was saying pretty much rang true for Faith. She knew very well what he was saying about never being into romance, and it all being just about the quick tumble into bed, or, well, bed wasn't even really required. She gave him a bit of a thoughtful look for a moment, and then shrugged. "You don't even know if he's into guys? Shit." She whistled softly. "You should ask." Which was, of course, exactly what she would do if she was interested in someone but not sure of thier sexuality. The concept of privacy, and that people might not wish to talk about that sort of thing, never occured to her.

The dark-haired slayer listened intently as he discribed everything, and shook her head at the end. "Trippy." She gave him a once over. "Weird, though. You don't look like the kind of person who's allergic to everything. Do you have asthma too?" Her tone, though, wasn't really unkind, just slightly amused. "So you dig this doctor guy really because he keeps you from dying." She tilted her head to the side. "Personally, I'm a loser magnet. All the guys I dated, not worth the air they breathe. Decided I wasn't made to be, you know, in a relationship. They suck, anyway." It was all said very casually, like something she'd said many times before.

"Weird." She listened intently to all the little details, and then shook her head, slightly envious. "I've never screwed anything that wasn't human... once a telepath, but he's still human." She thought more, and then shrugged. "Sounds like she's dangerous. Fun." She liked danger. "Okay, so here's your building." She pointed to the building with a large 'A' written on it. "Your room should be just inside."

He chuckled softly as they walked into his building. "Well... I don't know what to say. In your time before the Vulcans made First Contact there weren't too many non-humans running around." None that he knew of. She'd said something about Vampires so he assumed things like Vampires were running around. They weren't exactly human but they'd been human at one point. There was probably some sort of difference between them and humanoid aliens. "Gala would always tell me that she was harmless but I knew enough about her and her people to try and stay on her good side." Even though he was sure if she'd survived there would've been hell to pay for his response to her confession of love.

Walking into the building he looked around and quickly found his room number. That was easy. It probably helped that his was the first room they came upon. Antique locks were a little tricky for him so, much to his embarassment, Kirk stood in front of his door fumbling with the key for a moment before finally getting it open. He turned back towards Faith and offered her a sheepish smile. "Um... where I'm from everything is electronic. You key in the number and the door opens... or you pull off the face plate and reroute a couple of wires."

Opening the door he stepped inside and looked around. It seemed cozy enough... for now. It wasn't the ideal room or where he wanted to be. It had nothing on his quarters on the ship but it would do. Setting the book and the picture of Bones down upon the table he let out a soft yawn. Maybe he wouldn't explore this place any further. He was a little tired. It had been an odd experience. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Yeah, it's cool. There's enough hottie people of the human type to screw. I can deal without aliens." She gave him another appraising look, and then laughed. "Hey, man, it's always the ones who say they're harmless that you gotta keep your eye on, know what I'm saying?" As far as she could tell, there was no such thing as someone who was harmless. The more innocent they seemed, the more you had to watch out for them.

She waited with a sort of amused half smile on her face as he fumbled with the lock. She was about to offer to help, just to take him out of his obvious misery, when the door clicked open. "Yeah, those lock things, really tricky." She peered into his room over his shoulder. It looked the same as hers. Boring. "I guess Jareth's, you know, living in the past. Stupid Mr Sparkly King. I want a electronic door."

The dark haired girl leaned casually against the doorframe, watching him as he put his things down. "Can't think of anything offhand. Tell you what, if you have any questions, just drop me a line in the journals, okay? Or you can just come find me, the goblins are stalkers and know where we are whenever." She smiled slightly at him. "Okay, I'm gonna jet now. Later, JT."
