Personal Log #18 - [Action - All Day]

[spohkh]

The Dome:

[One of the simulator doors is wide open for anyone to see inside, and for the most part, the room is empty... except for a tv, and a large couch; the back of which is facing the door. For anyone who knows the Vulcan well, they'll recognize the cap of neat, black hair sticking above the back of the couch. What will seem odd though are the sounds coming from the room...

...sounds, for those who would recognize them, that resemble something like video games from the mid eighties to early nineties.

If anyone dares to venture into the room and walks around the couch, they'll see the floor littered with games for the various consoles set up by the tv. Currently, Spock is engrossed with Super Mario Bros for the SNES, his eyebrows and mouth fixated in a scary looking frown as he navigates through the levels.]



[ooc: Spock has been gone for just about two weeks, and is now suffering under a inconvenient effect: he's addicted to video games. For those who would like to jump in on this, there are extra controllers. *hint hint*
Also, it's good to be back~ /hugs everyone/]

[Spock turns to blink at her.
Oh, she was being serious.]

May I inquire as to who he is? And did he take it well?

[borntorebel]

[Of course she's serious. She doesn't joke about blaster-point.]

His name is Han Solo. And he's used to it by now. I'm hardly the first person to pull a weapon out on him nor will I be the last.

[spohkh]

Though the question remains, why did he deserve to have a blaster pointed at him?

[borntorebel]

He kidnapped me. The details are personal. Suffice it to say that he still lives.

[spohkh]

[Spock blinks... his face one of concentration as he tries to connect the dots.]

And this made you want to marry him?
[Yeah, the Vulcan is confused.]

[borntorebel]

[Join the club. Leia's still not sure why she didn't shoot Han herself.]

Evidently, there are extenuating circumstances, but I've been far too angry to ask what they are.

[spohkh]

There is a curious saying that states 'opposites attract', perhaps that is true in your case.

[And probably his, but he wasn't going to say anything about that, certainly.]

[borntorebel]

[Leia laughs softly under her breath at that.]

Despite our surface differences, Han and I are...compatible. Most of the time.

[Now that they've gotten over the sexual tension and her brother out of the way.]

He simply forgets to think certain things through.

[You know, pissing off notorious gangsters and kidnapping your girlfriend so she doesn't marry someone else. Just a few examples of bad decision-making.]

[spohkh]

[Spock couldn't help making the connections in his head, a small smile playing on his lips.]

He reminds me of Captain Kirk.

[borntorebel]

I've never met Mr Kirk, but my brother's told me a little about him.

[She gives the Vulcan a smile of her own, a little surprised at how relaxed she is doing nothing with a virtual stranger.]

He and Han do sound an awful amount alike though. I bet they'd grt along famously.

[spohkh]

Or hate each other immensely.

[Spock has met Leia once, it was enough to read her character, and he trusts her enough to 'relax'.]

May I ask about the welfare of your brother? I have not seen him in quite some time.

[borntorebel]

Yes, that is the other side to that coin, sadly. Let's hope it's the former and not the latter though. I could use less drama in my life right now.

[Honestly, she's hardly surprised that Spock knows Luke. It just...makes sense.]

He's...okay. Well, he will be. Once things calm down again.

[spohkh]

[Spock always referred to his 'noseiness' as curiosity, since it made it seem more logical.]

May I inquire as to what happened? He is a friend of mine, and he has been through so much already.

[borntorebel]

[She debates with herself on how to answer Spock for a long, tense minute. While their lives had a few intensely public moments, Luke preferred his privacy. Leia knew that she really didn't have that luxury between being princess, senator, and rebellion leader. Her actions were always being scrutinized by someone.

She doesn't feel comfortable sharing information about Luke without his express permission.]

There are a lot of personal things going on in our household right now. It's to be expected with so many strong personalities under one roof.

[spohkh]

I can imagine. I also can imagine how difficult it must be to live with a father you never knew...
[Time-line snafus were Spock's specialty by now.]

[borntorebel]

[She grimaces at the offhanded mention of Anakin. That is a topic she avoids even at the best of times.]

Yes. It is...not easy.

[spohkh]

You have my sympathies, also my apologies, I will pry no further. [Spock stares at the screen, not impressed at the flashing 'game over'.]

Miss Leia, I have a request.

[borntorebel]

Please, don't worry about it. Family is rarely easy from what I understand.

[The mention of a request piques her interest.]

What's that, Mr Spock?

[spohkh]

Would you turn off the television for me?
[He's hoping that will take away the desire to play.]

[borntorebel]

[She watches for a few seconds how intensely Spock is staring at yhe screen before nodding.]

Of course.

[It's short work to fulfill the request, but now that she's standing, her original plans for the day come to mind.]

I was planning on doing some training if you'd like to join me.

Thanks for an awesome thread m'dear~ <3

[spohkh]

[Spock breathes a sigh of relief as the machine is turned off, and he stands, regarding Leia.]

You have my thanks, and yes, I would very much like to join you.
