DAY 398 | OPEN | VIDEO
[ Have you ever been treated to heavy breathing on the end of a phone call? Well, that's the sound you're hearing now, except there's a video to go with it, which is mostly occupied by Kirk's sweat-streaked, dirt smudged, scratched up face. He looks more put upon than hurt, and from the looks of the background he's somewhere green and up high. He's tucked tight against what appears to be a tree trunk, running a hand through his hair and flashing his best charming grin under the circumstances. ]

So, probably not the smartest decision ever in my life, but I've found myself up at tree and in need of some assistance. If anyone has suggestions on how to make it out of Sector 6 with...

_{[ He paused and looked down, moving his lips as his eyes flicked back and forth purposefully. ]}

Let's say around four very unhappy raptors. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

_{[ Hopefully everyone got this without static, but who knows, right? He's hoping for the best. Seems to usually work form. Usually. ]}

Claws? No.

[ Nothing like a dramatic entrance and so he holds off on the rest of that response until he's close enough to get the drop on the raptors. Vamping out, he lunges for the raptors, hoping to be intimidating enough to scare off one or two of them. He can handle himself but he's not so confident he can handle himself alone against four raptors in treacherous terrain. ]

_{[ Kirk watches from the trees, intrigued and a touch frightened, but that was the normal human response, right? He wasn't quaking in fear, though, and more fascinated than anything.

Apparantley the raptors were none to pleased to have a new predator in the area, but they had been at the hunt for awhile and were tired, but not desperate. Getting hurt now ruined chances of food later, so after a brief scuffle they retreated into the forests.

Slowly Kirk worked his way down, dropping after another quick glance around and coming over to Spike. ]}

That's a hell of a talent, being able to scare of those things.

	[ Well. That went better than expected. Spike makes an effort to shake off the adrenaline surge but doesn't quite manage, at least not enough to get out of game face. Give him a minute to think about baseball or something, it'll be fine. ] Just have to show them you're the bigger bad. Predators understand that kind of language. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ It's a hell of a game-face, but honestly? Just reminds him of a Klingon lite sort of look. Being around aliens for most of your adult life makes taking things like that a lot easier. ]} I'll take your word for it. Keep it up until we get out of here, please? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-22 10:09 am UTC (link)
	Gladly. [ It's good to be out and about like this, actually. Pretty nice to not be gawked at either, for once. ] Think you can keep up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ He would have questions later, but more curious ones than outraged and horrified. ]} I'll do my best, but I won't say no to a piggy back - or even a princess carry. I'm secure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He snorts. ] You got perfectly good legs - use them. [ Not that he couldn't toss Kirk over the shoulder and be done with it, but c'mon man. Don't be lazy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Which I don't think can go as fast as yours.

_{[ He's learned not to expect such a thing when dealing with aliens - some were slow and some were fast and a lot of it had to do with gravity and muscle structure. Plus he was up against raptors, so he was definitely going to say he was not faster than them. ]}

I was just saying in case it looks like the raptors are gaining, I'm not going to fight you on your preferred carry position.

_{[ But let's get moving shall we? He's moving. ]}

	[ Good. Then they're both moving. The faster the better, though Spike is actually surprisingly mindful of not getting too far ahead. ] It's cute that you think you had a say in the matter, if it comes to that. Really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-12-03 01:37 am UTC (link)
	_{[ Thank you, Spike. It's quite touching. ]} Well, I do like making good first impressions. Cute is acceptable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't let it go to your head. I'm spoken for. <small<[ Hey, the kittycat can banter! Maybe this wasn't a waste of time! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-12-05 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Really? That's to bad. And here I was ready to give you a little reward for the rescue. _{[ He's not exactly joking, Spike. He totally would. ]} Just my luck, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He could say something about Kirk not being his type anyway but considering his current messed up relationship(s), he no longer has the right to. ] No one around to ask you to the prom, hm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-12-06 02:29 am UTC (link)
	_{[ Kirk is everyone's type! Usually. Maybe for a night, and then it kind of goes downhill from there. ]} It's fine, it's more fun going to big dance alone anyways. _{[ He doesn't do relationships, Spike. He would run faster if he was running from a relationship than from raptors right now. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-06 10:01 am UTC (link)
	[ You know who Kirk reminds him of right now? Enough so that he kind of needs to abandon the swift escape from the jungle for just a beat so he can get a better look at the guy, just to make sure? ] You wouldn't happen to know Jack Harkness, would you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-12-16 12:42 am UTC (link)
	_{[ He is confused by this sudden pause, and his ears strain nervously to pick up noise - even though the raptors, top predators that they were, were unlikely to make noise to give themselves away. ]} No, should I? _{[ He would come to know him, buuut not just yet. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-16 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, you should. I'm sure you two would have plenty to talk about. [ He snorts, continuing on his way through the jungle. He knows a few shortcuts, so hopefully they'll be out of here soon enough. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-01-01 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Well, when we get out of here, care to make the introductions? _{[ You don't even have to, he and Jack start flirting up a storm at the party Spike. You were 100% correct. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-01-04 08:52 am UTC (link)
	Sure. Not like I got anything better to do. [ He'll be sad to hear that they hit it off on their own. He would've liked to watch that, with some popcorn. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-01-05 03:18 am UTC (link)
	_{[ It was at the party, Spike, you could totally watch it with pocorn if you had a mind to. ]} That bad here, is it? You know, when we're not running from raptors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-01-05 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Oh, you have no idea. [ Long-suffering. He's been here six months but it feels more like sixty years. ] My advice to you - find yourself someone to shag as soon as you can. Drinking gets dull in the long run. [ And there's fuck-all else to do. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-01-09 01:28 am UTC (link)
	Dually noted. Any suggestions? _{[ He raised a brow, and to be honest, he wouldn't mind Spike as one of those. Even with the current face, his other one had been quite handsome. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-01-09 04:34 am UTC (link)
	[ He snorts. Wow. This really is Jack 2.0. If the rules weren't so restrictive- actually, scratch that. Not happening. He's spread thin enough as it is. ] You want me to set you up on a date? [ Well. ] Alright. Only because I'm bored — I'll play matchmaker. What are you looking for? (Reply to this) (Parent)
