[Backdated to a few hours after the end of port. Shego stumbled back on board after four days of almost no sleep and not much food and was not braced for a serious business talk with the Admiral at all. When she talks she sounds exhausted and...not stunned exactly, but very '.....that was something I wasn't expecting to happen today'.]

So, uh.

Regina graduated?

You should probably go tell her well done because I sure as heck didn't contribute all that much.

[OOC: Any responses from anyone except Regina will get a reply 12-14 hours later because she needed to put on some band-aids and get some sleep. :c]

"I'll take a star, or your cookies."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

She waved vaguely at a plate on the coffee table. There were two cookies there with heart shapes picked out in pink M&Ms. "Knock yourself out."

Kirk grabbed them both, offering her one of them because she did do all of the work for them. "Where do you think he gets these?"

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

She took it and just looked at it. "He resurrects the dead and travels through space-time like it's no big deal and you're wondering where he sources his baked goods?"

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"They're just really good. Do you think he bakes them himself?"

[gotgreenmagic]

She'd never actually tried a graduation cookie because her own post-graduation experience had mostly involved blind shock and then an interlude of sex with Kirk and the plate had probably gotten knocked off her couch in the course of that. So she took a bite and - yeah. They were just really good.

"I kinda like to imagine he's got bigger things to worry about. Maybe he's just, like, found the best cookie place in the universe and he steps out to get them or something."

"He's a real dick for not sharing them more often. People would be in way better moods around here if he did."

"On the other hand, not the best idea ever to just hand out incentives to being here."

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"We need something to keep us interested in being here."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"What, the floods and the ever-changing population of drooling psychopaths aren't keeping you engaged?"

Re: spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"Seen it. I'm bored."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"Flynn not keeping you busy?"

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"He's kind of... tame all things considered."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"Uh huh. When'd you start telling people that about me?"

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"A year before you graduated?"

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

She elbowed him in the ribs semi-playfully. "Jerk."

Re: spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

Kirk elbowed her back for a half second, like a true five year old. "You stopped threatening to kill me. It was a dead giveaway."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"Maybe I'd acknowledged that it was just encouraging you. Did Flynn ever start? He doesn't seem like the threatening-to-kill-you type."

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"I don't think he really grasps the concept of murder, honestly."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"Sounds like you lucked out to me."

As opposed to Shego, who had been at best theoretically aware and had become much, much more intimately acquainted as her time on the Barge went on.

Re: spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"I'd be luckier if he just graduated."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"It'll happen." She kissed his cheek. "Don't tell anybody I said this but you're actually a decent Warden."

spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

That meant more than he'd really ever tell her. He figured that she never really disliked him as much as she claimed but sometimes it was nice to hear. "That's going in my captain's log. Today Shego complimented me."

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

"You still keep a captain's log? Dweeb."

Re: spammm

[captain_jtkirk]

"And then she insulted me with fifth grade insults."
