<sub>[ Yeah, it was weird for him too, and he's probably less happy about it than you are. In fact, definitely less happy than you are.

His shoulders relax visibly when the other mentions that, letting out a relieved laugh. ]</sub>

Last thing I remembered before waking up was a few days after that birthday party you threw me in Yorktown - after you landed the deathtrap.

[Bones presses his lips together, nods once, and shrugs one shoulder. There's a sense of odd relief that washes through him when he realizes that Jim remembers (almost) all the same things he does, because the very last thing he wants to deal with is another time-energy-space issue.]

Good to know I was able pull that together. Getting stranded on that damn planet put a damper in those plans.

[Yeah, Mr. Sensitive over here had been planning that get-together before even setting eyes on Yorktown.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Get ready for some fun, then, Bones, because there's another Fleet member here - a future Fleet member. Thankfully it wasn't all that difficult to avoid talking about the Fleet and thus the future. For now, though, Kirk stepped in again and clasped Bones' arm in a more masculine hello and nodded his head up the path. ]}

Come on, I can fill you in on what's been happening here since I arrived and introduce you to my friends. Oh, and to my crew. You must have gotten a ship assignment if you're off the Marsiva.

And if you have questions I'll try to answer, but fair warning - essentially no one has the answers to the questions you are likely going to ask.

[notanoptimist]

[Yeah, that'll be a fun conversation. Can they save that one to have over drinks? Lots of drinks, preferably.

He nods slowly, worrying at his lip for a second before answering.] 'I don't know' seems to be a recurring theme around here.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded, clearly disliking admitting that. But it was the truth, aggravating as it was, and Bones was the last person he'd lie to about something like that. He was sure Bones would share his frustration, probably have better words to describe it too. ]}

Yeah and not in the way we like it back home.

_{[ He sighed and patted Bones again, as if still trying to assure himself that the man was actually here. ]}

We can go to Crowleys bar up on the Fleet. He's got the good stuff, and then I'll give you the grand tour. Hint: most of the fun stuff is on the Iskaulit.

[notanoptimist]

[He snorts.] Some of us aren't exactly fond of it back home either. [He's not quite the explorer you are, Jim. You know that.]

Thank God, there's a bar. I might survive this thing.

[universal_charm]

Come on Bones, you must be in it for more than the opportunity to be as far away from your ex as possible.

_{[ He thinks you like the challenge and the discovery and making the other biologists and medics back on Earth pull their hair out. ]}

We've all been brought here against our wills and are likely being experimented on and are definitely spied upon 24/7. Of course there's a bar, Bones.

[notanoptimist]

Nope. 'S all about the ex.

[He's a liar, but Jim already knows that.]

No recourse but drinking, huh?
