Home to Roost for a Time
It's beyond strange to find Jim Kirk in the Nexus dressed down to a teeshirt and jeans. The space captain tends to show up everywhere in his uniform to the point where one might wonder if it's truly the only thing he owns. Of course, then he was living on the Enterprise-A. He was Always Captain Kirk, even when he was off duty on the bridge. That's the thing about being out in space on mission. There's no such thing as truly Off Duty.
But now?
They've come home. The mission is over. His crew is scattered to the wind. For the first time in Years, he's simply Jim Kirk. Judging by how frustrated he is pacing round the plaza? He hates every minute of it. He's got his PINpoint in hand while glowering over what looks to be a freshly painted sign outside a cluster of shops listing each of the businesses to be found in the little side street marketway he's come across.
"Don't tell me it's gone..." Such is the nature of the Nexus sometimes. Jim sighs, dragging his hair out of place with one hand while he tucks away his PINpoint. " Why can't this ever be easy? Where's a guy got to go to get a decent outfit around here Now?"
