Alien Hangovers are the Worst

Jim doesn't want to be here. His ears are ringing, everything is too bright, and he is crazy sore. There are slightly more immediate matters at hand, however. Kirk clears his throat before facing the forum.

"Is there a proper flower or card to express 'Sorry I passed out and drooled on you before puking on the floor'? Because I really need that right now." Jim rubs at his face slowly, scrubbing it over his eyes and down his cheeks.

And no, giving him a bucket isn't necessary. He's more or less fine now, just feeling really awful right this second. In more than one way.

"Right? I refuse to participate in replicated breakfast foods. They're like rubber, in the worst way."

She's grinning at Jim, wondering if her secrets are worth keeping right now. It's been way too long, after all. It might be fun to have a one night stand.

"I'm a visitor in the Nexus, these days," she confesses. "Used to live here, but things changed. I'm just keeping an eye out for the changes. My home world is...complicated. I'm from about three million years from here, but I live in Spain in the here and now. That's the Nexus for you."

"Oh, Jim. Jimmy boy, you'd plotz. I've got so many stories."

Hips is grinning, and stepping closer to this blond, blue-eyed paragon of Starfleet virtue. Honestly? She's looking forward to corrupting him, with a giant grin.

"Tell you what. Let's eat, drink, and be merry. And then? We'll play it by ear. Sound fair?"

She chuckles, ducking her head and nodding at his advances.

"Antique? Maybe. I'm sure my ship is lamer than yours. Lieutenant Commander Hippolyta Hollister, serving on the Jupiter Mining Corporation vessel Red Dwarf. You can call me Hips. Been a civvie for a while now, since the Dwarf is lost in the Nexus somewhere. What's your ship, Kirk?"

Like she doesn't know. But she's learned not to break everybody's brains, now.

"Security, Captain."

Oh, god. She's truly in trouble now. But then again, could anybody blame her for trying to get with Captain Kirk? Fangirls across the Nexus are cheering her on.

"I was head of the security force on my ship. Believe me, there was nothing worse than a bunch of drunken astros on payday. I was there to bung all the offenders in our brig."

The coffee is shit. But that's okay, the company is hotter than hell.

"Long story."

She knows his reputation. Knows how this will go. Hopefully nobody will call her on her promiscuous ways. She sips her muddy coffee, and she's not totally turned of by it.

"The three million years thing was a mistake. I was born in Detroit about...two hundred years from now? There was an accident on my ship, that's why I woke up three million years in the future. Honestly, my brain is stuck in the year 2259."

She just laughs again.

Holy hell, this man is hot. She should be tied up and shot for this.

"Oh, you have no idea. Someday I'll give you the whole story. Meanwhile, we're having pancakes and coffee, so that's the important part."

"Perhaps. If you impress me."

Her own grey-blue eyes are sparkling with amusement, honestly. It's been a long time since she's had a short-term relationship, mainly because her children were weighing on her mind.

Kirk gives no fucks. That's what makes him Kirk. And she's a-OK with that.

"I'm hard to impress, fair warning."
