Greetings. I am Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise, a Starfleet contingent of the United Federation of Planets. I understand that we are temporally isolated as well as spatially displaced and that this is not a subdivision of any one possible multiverse, neither a pocket dimension of any one universe, but a unique quantum singularity linking many and each possible variation thereof. If others here have scientific findings of this nature, I pre-emptively extend my gratitude in the event of any information being divulged.
[ AKA pls share ur theories. He's not human, in case anyone with eyes and ears missed the blatant memo staring them in the face, the approximation of what would happen were a dollop of raw science and a great jawline to get mixed with an elf in a blender. Spock pauses thoughtfully, glancing away, and a single slender brow arches when he looks back; there are likely a great deal of customs to be observed from numerous new species and races, none of which he seeks to offend. ]
It has been brought to my attention that this is not my first foray into Keeliai. While I would request that you exert a measure of patience with my ... freshly acquired outlook, you will find me amenable to revisiting former acquaintances. [ Again he hesitates, though this time it comes across as more of an amendment. If you've been hanging out with his BFF, prepare to explain why, how and to what end. ] Similarly, I wish to meet with any and all allies of Captain James T. Kirk at their earliest convenience.
All remaining Starfleet personnel are to submit a fully comprehensive report effective immediately regarding their time here. Audio will suffice, given the circumstances.
[ And off goes the feed. ]

Okay, first of all? I was joking. You know those things, Spock? Jokes? [ACTUALLY GIVE HIM A SECOND HE'S GOT THIS ONE--!] 'Something done to provoke laughter or cause amusement'. Great party trick, you should try it sometime.
[It's said with all due affection, because really. It's Spock. He knows the guy's not humourless, even though he pretends it at times. He's grinning as he says it, bright and cheerful. He is still not over his Spock's here! exuberance.]
Second of all, I really do not feel the need to seduce him and for crying out loud, his name's Kyle.

[ Definitely a sense of humor, albeit rather self-serving. Romantic dinners are not romantic, they have naked flames and time constraints with a level of stress directly disproportionate to the level of relaxation supposedly being generated.
Spock has seen some illogical shit, man.There's a moment where his face tightens as if he's trying to listen to a weak signal. ]I am on a first-name basis with him, I simply did not want to promote disrespect.
[ He doesn't go around calling Jim Jim to everyone, that way lies madness. ]

[A flash of amusement, and then he coughs to try and indicate serious business time.]
Ask him over dinner. He'll probably have a few alternative suggestions.
[He knows Kyle doesn't like the idea of being a mister. And while Jim could provide other alternatives, he's. Going to try and exercise some restraint and not interfere too much. It's like tagging the last breeding pair of a species and then shoving them out into the wild to procreate.
Or something.
... Actually it's nothing like that, but it's the best metaphor he's got at the moment so. It's a thing.]

[ On a purely academic level, anyway. Captain Know-It-All can defer a proverbial position if he gets to keep his actual chair, no matter that Spock actually has no designs to acquire it and check him out, flaunting his Terran vernacular. 'Gladly.' Happy was the last curveball he threw Jim, back during their foray through Marcus's schemes. With Jim so far behind in the timeline, it's going to be interesting to
troll himserve up those phrases now and again.Although he really needs to stop hanging around McCoy so much if metaphors like that are what comes immediately to mind. Keep it in your pants, Captain. ]
As a matter of course, I would not object to live music.

You never know. I think I could surprise you.
[EYEBROW WAGGLE. Honestly, Jim loves teaching. It serves a twofold purpose - the first being that it makes him look Smart and Knowledgeable (ever one for gasconade, Jim) , and the second... well, he actually, earnestly enjoys it. Of course, there are very few people who actually know that bit, and he intends to keep it that way.]
Helps with the digestion, right? It's only logical. Ergo, pursuant to those aforementioned logistics, I would gladly provide an adequate sampling of 21st century rock music.
[Note the smarmy mock-Vulcan tone he used there.]

Your approximation of my voice is inaccurate in both tone and cadence.

[... and then, speculatively,]
Word choice was pretty close, right?

[ Maybe it was, just a little. Shh. ]

[SERIOUSLY BRO. BRO SERIOUSLY.]

[ If he were capable of emotions, which he totally isn't, he'd classify this as second-hand embarrassment. ]

Why Spock, here I thought you'd prefer that. Technicalities, right?
[trollface.]

[ And find you later, Captain Smirkface. ]

[Which is basically Jim code for 'stay out of trouble and be safe please'.]
