He reached past the row of uniform tunics and chose something warn and familiar.

The voice that haunts his dreams is currently quoting Shakespeare. The non sequitur is as shocking as the next disturbing fact. For a split second, Jim doesn't know whether he's asleep or living in a twisted hell. The past breathes and monsters long thought dead roam the stage.

OneWord: Discovery

It never failed to amaze him as he took his customary nighttime tour of the ship. During the quiet hours with the lights down low, he passed random crewmen in the corridors. Different species, genders, and customs were represented here. A slice of the Federation. All had come together to do one thing.

Explore.

The poor thing had stopped growing overnight. "What happened?" he asked Sulu, inspecting the pitiful plant.

The helmsman crossed his arms and leaned casually against the counter the pot was sitting on. "She stole a cup of coffee off of Janice's tray last night while we were talking."

"Caffeine?"

He nodded.

"So that's it?"

"That's as tall as she'll get, yeah."

Jim shook his head in disbelief, feeling sorry for Sulu who'd been nurturing it since it was a seedling. "Note to self. No coffee in the botany lab."

His vacant expression should have been her first clue.

Lining the grapes up and launching them one by one across the table with his finger, complete with exaggerated fake explosions, was quite possibly the highlight of his day.

OneWord: Hydration

He turned on the facet and stuck his head down in the sink sideways, letting the water run past his mouth. Being completely wasted meant never having to look for a cup. When he woke up six hours later on the floor of the bathroom, the water was still running.

The chessboard that resides on his desk is always ready for the latest match.

It's green. And it smells awful. He's pretty sure Bones is trying to kill him. "I'm not drinking that."

Bones and Spock hadn't even been gone a full day and already Jim was fighting with his feelings.

OneWord: Spoiled

2016-12-16T03:37:11Z

He wasn't generally susceptible to smells. But there was one in particular that instantly turned his stomach and brought bile to his throat.

OneWord: Freeze

2016-11-29T19:56:39Z

Red and swollen, his fingers began to burn intensely as the warmth returned.

There was no way he was leaving her behind.

OneWord: Perplexed

2016-11-22T21:44:01Z

There's no reason for the system to be running on the slow side. In fact, it's not all that slow. Just an extra second or two added to the response time, barely enough to be noticeable. He double checks the maintenance schedule and verifies no diagnostics are being run. If there isn't anything planned that's causing delay, maybe there's something unplanned.

He opens a comm channel. "Spock. You got a minute?"

OneWord: Oil

He only realized he'd been allergic to the massage oil when he woke up the next morning looking like a tomato.

OneWord: Recover

2016-11-18T19:06:25Z

There's no time to think. He bolts from behind the wall and races toward Spock who's laying face down in the dirt. An eruption of phaser fire explodes behind him and he knows instinctively his men are covering him. He rolls Spock onto his back, thrusts both hands under this shoulders, and begins to drag him desperately back to safety.

OneWord: Signs

2016-11-13T21:07:56Z

It always began the same way with that stupid vein in his forehead. Then it was pain at his temples. He'd start to squint as a natural reaction which only made it worse. From there, it was all downhill. Once he hit photo sensitivity, he could kiss his day goodbye.

comments

OneWord: Rocker

2016-11-12T21:10:45Z

The old porch creaked beneath the rocker. As much as he hated this old farmhouse, he loved to sit beneath the eaves and watch the snow fall. He wrapped the comforter tighter around his chest to fend off the cold. It wasn't enough. But he didn't care.

OneWord: Western

When Bones showed up to the party in a cowboy hat, a sheriff's badge, and a gun belt, Jim couldn't help but smile.

Jim actually thought it was pretty cute. Until it flashed razor sharp teeth and launched itself at him.

OneWord: Underground

2016-10-16T01:15:41Z

The dripping of water. The tortured groan of metal shifting. The wheezing of his own painful breathing. All other sounds have died away and he knows if he opens his eyes, he'll find the underground scene the same. How much time has he lost? Is he too far down to be found? He reaches again for his communicator.

Celebrating Birthdays

2016-08-11T00:43:25Z

It seems like yesterday they were just celebrating his birthday. It's been months since the crew assembled in the lounge and the newest ship to bear the name Enterprise is almost ready for her initial test flights. The deep seated anticipation has driven him back to work. It's the only way to keep himself sane. There are people he wants to see before his time at Yorktown is over. Amara is at the top of his list. He secretly hopes he can convince her the next five years would be worth her while.

He arrives with not just one, but two, bottles of tequila. One in each hand.

I totally forgot your birthday. So what are we doing? Cake? Ice Cream? Shots? All of the above?
