Personal Log #5 - Action

[spohkh]

[Spock gasped into consciousness and trembled at the biting cold. It took him a moment to realize that he was no longer on a metal, unforgiving examination table... but instead laying down in what felt like... snow. Fascinating.

His senses were completely off. The current date and time eluded him due to the number of occasions he had overcome to unconsciousness in the Malnosso's care...

Normally mental orientation would not be a problem...

...However, his current state of blindness left much to be desired.

He slowly stood, categorizing his physical condition, and found that his body was not cooperating as it should... he had to lean against a tree to retain balance. He ached all over. The Malnosso appeared curious towards his Vulcan physiology.... and went to great lengths to discover what they could. Spock shivered again as he recalled what they did to him. They had started with his fingers... running tests that involved pain tolerance and sense range.

They left the brain for last. Spock was successful in keeping them out of his Katra, a mental landscape containing his links...protecting what stability and bonds that he had left after his planet's devastation. However, it was his efforts in the end that now left him blind. In their enthusiasm, the Malnosso did not realize the extent of Vulcan stubbornness, so when threatening him with his eyesight did not work... they soon lost interest.

That left him in his current state.

Concentration was... difficult at the moment. There was too much pain. His Katra called out in an attempt to help him, but he did not know how successful that was. In the interim, Spock assumed that he was back in Luceti and started to walk forward... sensing the trees around him to use them for support.
He hoped someone would find him soon... He was without his uniform, and left once again in only a pair of pants. This cold was quickly becoming too much for his Vulcan biology to withstand.]


[Feel free to meet Spock wandering, blind, and cold. He's out in the woods currently, but he'll eventually make it somewhere near the village. Enjoy~]

[spohkh]

[Spock is...comforted by her current stability and is grateful for the warmth that he coat provides.

Spock allows himself to be lead, and stays silent while a thousand questions go through his mind at Grune's current state.

He can deduce quite a bit, considering the information other people have given him regarding her status... however, he would prefer hearing it from her if and when she is willing to give him that information.]

[spohkh]

[Spock, in his vulnerability, shied away from his Captain after he was helped onto the bed...]

My thanks Captain... I will await your return. [Spock waited until Jim left.. felt for the clothes, and quickly changed.

He was a burden.

This would not do...]

[relictusdeus]

[He lets out his breath in a faint laugh.] ...You wound me.

[Brushing off the fact that something has been asked of him, he straightens and closes the distance between them in a few deliberate steps.]

Is this not enough? [He cocks his head, his tone more playful than biting.] ...Would you have me shift the entirety of my home a foot to the left? [Pausing at length, he begins to circle Spock wolfishly, slowly and calculatingly, eying him with critical appraisal. And then comes a conspiratorial whisper teasing the shell of his ear. Low and husky, the sort meant to lay secrets bare and make a man - or woman - come undone.]

Do I offend? ...You needn’t be afraid to say it.

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock stands still... he does not know what is happening around him, but he can tell that is has something to do with paper.

And he is rather pleased to discover that there is more warmth than there was before....]

My thanks... and tt is well to make your acquaintance Miss Konan... I was attempting to reach my household... Number two on the North-west end of town...

[spohkh]

[Spock stands stiffly as he can sense Isaac's movement around him... ]

Requesting that your house be moved to any location other than that of where it stands is illogical. Though being here is 'enough' as you state it, I sense that you are deliberately 'teasing' me.

Normally my defenses in such a situation are able to handle this type of confrontation... however... in my current state of blindness and physical weakness I need medical assistance.

[Spock involuntarily shivers at the sudden breath across his ear...]

You do not offend me Isaac... you merely have me concerned.

[Action] no worries ever <3

[geniustheveil]

[Ami reacts in a human way, because Ami is human. Even with all the revelations of her senshi identity, she doesn't see herself as anything else. She was born on Earth this time, to Mama, in Japan.]

I'm relieved, too. [This comes with a smile, despite the situation, as Ami makes the conscious choice to focus on helping Spock, and the fact the effect of the Malnosso's work should wear off.] It's not too far, so hold on just a little longer.

Re: [Action] <3

[spohkh]

I will... endeavor to comply... [Spock body shudders for reasons other than the cold.

His body is protesting movement at this time....]

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[There are times when the body can't be given the vote, when the mind has to keep it moving anyway because something important is at stake: If Spock doesn't keep going until they can get inside, his condition may well worsen.

Ami keeps her voice firm, and steady, to distract him and reassure him.]

It really is close. Here... [She slips off her own jacket.] Wear my coat. It might be small, but... it will still give some warmth. Right now, my body is in better condition to be cold for a few minutes.

[relictusdeus]

Concerned? [Crisply, lightly, and every word laced with condescension.] About what?

[He waves away his own question after a moment as if it were a pesky fly.]

You need only to have asked, my dear Spock. [Of course.] Is relief from your... bodily suffering what you desire most?

[Action]

[antivanleather]

[Without missing a beat, he answers.]

A woman of fair skin and long limbs, red hair and full bosom in my bed come Christmas eve to while away the cold winter nights with me.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Well thinking about what other people could want can be pretty fun! I'm just not sure what I would like. Maybe... something fun, or something I could ride. [He tries to think further.] A lot of things I want... They're just not here.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke...smiles sheepishly at that]

Ami and I...had a bit of a crisis about deciding what to wear.

[herotypical]

Me?

[ she sounds surprised. hmm. ] I don't know how much there is to know, really. I'm just...

I'm just a girl. That's all.

[ it isn't as though she's trying to actively maintain a secret identity, here. but it's hard to always be THE SLAYER first and foremost. and it's usually a good test to see if newerish folk remember reading her name in the guide. ]

[spohkh]

[Spock tilts his head....]

My captors decided that they were interested in the Vulcan nervous system as it pertains to touch telepathy...
... and attempted to discover my pain threshold.

They were rather enthusiastic, and soon used their knowledge to my disadvantage. However, I was able to keep them out of my mind... but I am now experiencing 'discomfort'... [Spock does not know how this information will help him or Isaac, but it was always worth a shot. Perhaps if Isaac realized that he couldn't be of any help, he would take Spock somewhere else...]

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[A mental memory of a woman with red hair... and blood.

Spock wonders if it is the same woman that he refers to now.]

I am afraid I cannot provide you with what you want.... I can only hope that everyone else does not have such 'wishes' for Christmas.

Though, I hope you find whom you are looking for... [Spock voice is sincere...]

[spohkh]

[Spock was a scientist... he would not accept this answer...]

The fact that you are a female is one that I had safely assumed. I feel as though I am at a disadvantage... you seem to know about me, but I know nothing of you.

[The fact that he was testing her was of no consequence... he wanted to give her the opportunity to explain her title...]

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

May I inquire as to what you are giving others? [The fact that Spock was looking for ideas was fairly obvious... Christmas was rather new to him.]

[herotypical]

I'm from California. I like piña coladas. And crunchy peanut butter. I'm also an avid ice-skater which would be obvious if your peepers were working, 'cause I have a pair of skates with me. Uhm...

I've been here three and a half years. Is that enough info for the introductions round, Commander? It is Commander, right?

Re: [Action] *snerk*

[spohkh]

[Though Spock cannot see Luke's smile... he can hear his tone of voice...

Fascinating...]

That is... a most intriguing crisis for you and Miss Mizuno to share.

[Spock's mouth twitches in a half-smile...] Regardless, the 'blind date' turned out rather well, and an interesting social experience.


[Spock considers something for a moment...] What would you care to receive for Christmas?

XD

[spohkh]

[Spock nods...] Of course... And yes, it is Commander, but you may call me Spock.


[Spock hesitates for a moment..] I must apologize for my behaviour. I believe that meeting new people while blind has caused me to consider others untrustworthy.

You have been very kind Miss Summers...

[herotypical]

Being kind. It's kinda this thing I do. But...

[ she pats his arm. ] I'm sorry. Your fears aren't exactly unfounded. I'm not being Little Miss Most Honest.

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock sighs in relief when the warmth hits him..


He was about to protest though. He did not want to think that he was causing Ami any discomfort on his behalf...


However... he was really cold...]

I thank thee.... [Spock starts to feel the familiar presence of his house, and his head automatically raises... however, there is nothing to see.]

The door should be unlocked.

[spohkh]

[Spock's mouth twitches in a half-smile... he was rather enjoying her speech patterns...
Very similar to Jim.]

That is quite alright. Everyone has a right to keep their personal lives as private as they wish.

I will question you no more.

[herotypical]

Well. That's too bad. 'Cause I'm gonna answer you some more. Spock, we...

[ is this cruel? is this unusual? god, she's barely even told jim this much. but that's because he's jim.

spock is...spock. logical to a fault. she remembers being able to tell him many a thing without risking judgement. ]

We cohabitated. We lived together. You and me. The last you. You-from-before. You have a right to know that much.

[spohkh]

[If Spock were a human, he may have stopped and flailed..

However, he was not a human. He processed this information... and decided to ask one more question for clarification.]

Were we in a household, or cohabiting as in.... a romantic relationship? [Because Spock could not afford to make assumptions... he did not want to hurt anyone.]
