life hacks (aka jim, no) • open

It's been a hell of a few weeks. Month? Little over? You know, he's not even really sure. Jim has had a hell of a time since getting here. His suddenly very much alive sort of girlfriend (ex?) being here, which he's cool with, but---wow he's already had that breakdown thanks. Admiral Pike is here---that breakdown is still forthcoming. Let's not even bring up the fight with Khan that ended with both of them brigged for a while. Then there was Q dicking around with everyone with his brand of practical jokes that had Jim letting Khan out of the brig of his own volition, and putting a few crewman into Sickbay. But he's gonna just pretend feelings aren't real things that you, you know, feel.

Spock would be proud, if it didn't mean his method of coping with his not!feelings were to find something to drink that isn't that synthehol crap.

So, he heads into the lounge, and over to the replicator. He's tapping away at the controls, trying to avoid speaking to it directly cause he doesn't want to announce what he's doing to the entire lounge. Kind of defeats the purpose of stealth. He gets an angry sounding noise from it when he tries something, raises a brow, and shakes his head.

"Okay, fine." They can do this hard way. Jim is totally okay with that. "You're gonna give me what I want, or I'm going to rewrite every subroutine you have."


[as promised: jim is hacking the replicator for real alcohol. feel free to help out by way of lookout or whatnot. gaila will be helping him out, so if you would like her to be involved when you tag in, just tag in on their top-level comment. from then the tagging order will go jim + gaila + your character = SHENANIGANS. if not, just tag in for jim, and we'll have ourselves some wacky fun. cool either way.

also, as a note: ash will be scarce because of rl/homework type things, so please bear with a bit of slow/delay on tags.]

Yeah, well if there's talk of a medical emergency and someone's head exploding from pure frustration on this ship, it's probably that man, and it's probably Jim's fault. There are definitely benefits to this, and he's not about to give up if this doesn't work with the replicators.

There are other ways to get what he's after, though he might end up losing his eyebrows in the long run if that blows up in his face. Literally. Why didn't he pay more attention when Scotty totally wasn't walking him how that worked? Dammit.

"Depends. You and the captain get along? Could always tell him it was just a different time, I guess." Not untrue.

The replicator makes an unpleasant noise again, and Jim sighs.

"So far we have been. Though he doesn't seem like the type that particularly likes his ship getting hacked."

He had a feeling that Jim Kirk was going to give off a completely different air than what history may have written about him.

"I don't think it likes that."

"Yeah, he doesn't seem like the sort to be interested in any kind of fun, if you ask me." Idly said before he groans in frustration, and stops, placing his palms flat on either side of the bulkhead next to the replicator.

"No, she doesn't. She's giving me a hell of a fight." Which means the longer it keeps up, the more likely it will be that he's on somebody's radar or he's caught. He honestly probably already is.
