WHERE: various
WHEN: throughout June
WHAT: catch-all with general starters, open to all
WARNINGS: none, but will edit as/if they come up

A. Shopping district at _______
[ Spock has been visiting several stores lately throughout the various cities, De Chima, Heropa, etc. attempting to find parts suitable for building some tech that's wholly accesable back at his home reality but is rather painfully absent here in this reality.

Mainly frequenting electronics and construction businesses, he's just coming out of one such store when the door momentarily blocks his line of sight, causing him to bump into [you]. The items he's holding threaten to tip out of his arms, but with some semi-awkward maneuvering where he avoids bumping into more (or the same) innocent bystanders, he manages to save his purchases before the land on the ground. ]

My apologies, [ he intones once his items are stable, his diction formal-sounding. Probably the odder thing about him than his manner of speech is his appearance: layers of long-sleeved dark clothing even in this summer heat, slanted eyebrows under bowl-cut bangs, and elf-like pointed ears. And if you're looking really closely, his skin has a light green tinge to it. ]


B. De Chima / near DC#3
[ In the public park near the De Chima government housing, Spock has set himself up in an area slightly off the beaten paths in order to practice with his cryokinesis. Anyone passing by will get to see he fruits of his labor: various objects (some plants and other organic matter from the park, some electronic pieces from the mess that is the DC#3 common room, bowls of liquids that look to be of differing consistency, etc. ) are now covered in ice. There are a couple different piles, the farthest pile already halfway thawed out in the Virginia summer heat.

He looks to be concentrating as he picks up the next object, but the sounds of someone approaching cause him to turn his gaze towards [you]. ]

Greetings.

[ Spock stills at that, surprised enough into stillness. He shouldn't have been surprised, really, not with Jim wearing that smirk and them being that close.

With a tiny, soft sigh, Spock resumes the gentle pressure on his temples, clearing away the last of the pounding sensations. Then he lowers his head, leaning back up to his normal straight posture. ]

I recommend more rest tonight than you typically allow yourself. Your mind requires deep sleep to fully heal from its exertions.

[overemotionally]

[A quick rub at his eyes to find nope, no pangs or pressure.]

That kiss was meant as a "thank you" by the way.

[A short pause.]

Stay over my place tonight.

[overanalytically]

[ His subtle blink is in response to both the thank you as well as the request. ]

I would distract you from resting.

[overemotionally]

No you wouldn't.

[overanalytically]

I would if you insisted on engaging in telepathy during our exertions.

[overemotionally]

Exer--

[Oh. Oh.]

I actually meant...[A small hesitation here because it sounds stupid to him coming out of his mouth.]

I sleep better when you're there.

[overanalytically]

[ Another subtle blink. ]

... You are not referring to engaging in coitus prior to your rest?

[overemotionally]

...I wouldn't say no but that's not what I had in mind.

[overanalytically]

Then could you clarify?

[overemotionally]

Sleep. In the same bed. With me.

[overanalytically]

...

And only that?

[overemotionally]

Did you want to do something else?

[overanalytically]

Not necessarily. I am only ... surprised that you do not wish to engage in coitus after having expressed a desire for sexual contact.

[overemotionally]

....When did I do that?

[Jim is thoroughly confused now.]

[overanalytically]

Just a moment ago. This kiss.

[overemotionally]

Wh--that doesn't mean I wanted sex. I kissed you because you were right in front of me and I felt like it. And as a thank-you, like I said.

[This...is the first time he's ever had to explain to someone why he kissed them and he's a little thrown by it.]

[overanalytically]

Our previous encounters were preceded with as much.

[overemotionally]

[...Okay he doesn't have an argument for that but...]

Well that's what most humans do before they have sex.

[But now Jim is trying to think back as much as possible to every time they've kissed...was it always a part of or a lead up to sex?]

[overanalytically]

Precisely.

[overemotionally]

That's not the only time.

[overanalytically]

Obviously not, as previous relationships have shown otherwise.

[overemotionally]

So it's just with me you think a kiss always leads to sex?

[overanalytically]

... Is that not your preference?

[overemotionally]

...That's not the point.

You have an issue with kising if it doesn't lead to sex?

[overanalytically]

Quite the opposite.
