Communication to All

Your oh so lovely Captain has reserved an entire bar for our use for our final night on Risa! You can get the position of it from the attached file. Nice little place, tucked up on the beach and right up against the waterline, full bar with everything you can imagine! I'll be seeing you all around sunset!


[OOC: This thread can run as long as we need it too, far past the 'end' of Risa Saturday night. Feel free to post anywhere, there's no order, who gives a damn about how the thread looks, just HAVE FUN!]

"Oh, I think I know a bit." Kirk said with a warm smile, bowing to her, "Would my lady care for a dance?" It should have been cheesy yet somehow he worked that line in smoothly.

"I'd be delighted," she replied, dropping a small curtsy and holding out her hand, content to let him lead.

Kirk took her hand and led her out to the dance floor. Maybe for his age and general background, it might have been surprising that he did indeed know how to dance formally. He swept her lightly in close, hands appropriately placed, laughing softly.

"Been a long time since I've done this." There was a sparkle in his eyes, "Takes a special lady to get me to do it." It didn't matter who it was, there was just an instinct to be as charming as possible.

Chapel knew perfectly well what he was up to, and found she didn't mind a bit. She spent so much time running around Sickbay with McCoy barking orders and her hands covered in blood, it was a refreshing change to be treated like a lady for once.

"Well, you certainly haven't forgotten how," she told him. "I'm impressed." She'd taken ballet lessons, once upon a time, and she and Roger used to go out dancing too. Christine let the feeling and the steps come back to her, for once able to remember the old days without the sadness and regret that usually accompanied the memories.

"And neither have you." Kirk said with a grin, "You dance wonderfully." He spun her gracefully and with that completely charming smile, dipped her lightly before pulling her close again. She was a very beautiful lady.

"It used to be a hobby of mine," she admitted. "I don't often have the pleasure of such a skilled partner, though." She gave him a slightly wicked smile as he dipped her and pulled her up again.

Oh how he loved when they flirted back. "Skilled indeed." He quipped with a sassy little grin, "I was lucky enough someone decided that being a new captain required knowing how to slow dance. I'm a fast learner." His voice was all pure tease, unable to help himself around a beautiful lady.

"Is that why you learned? I did wonder."

As the slow song ended and a tango began, an even more wicked grin spread across her face. "You've proved you can slow dance; you up for a real challenge now, Captain?"

His brows shot up and Kirk laughed, "I'll have to follow your lead on this, beautiful." He grinned, "I'll pick it up fast, I swear."

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

Chapel laughed and agreed, "All right, but don't feel bad if you can't keep up, sweetheart." She took his hands and arranged them correctly, then began the dance. She wasn't used to leading, much less with an untrained partner, but she was glad to accept the challenge tonight.

True to his word, Kirk was picking it up fast. The quick steps, flares of the hip that came with the tango, and the tight press of bodies together. Parts made him laugh when he didn't know them, taking them fully in stride and going with it. No embarrassment, just having fun. Which included a little saucy feline growl at one point before laughing again.

Chapel laughed along with him, realizing with some surprise that she was truly enjoying herself - not only succeeding in forgetting her own worries by distracting herself with the scenery or with other people's problems, but actually having fun. She loved dancing, hadn't done it in years, and it was wonderful to dance with a partner so sure of himself and unafraid of making mistakes in front of others.

When the song ended, Kirk still grinning broadly, he leaned in close and whispered, "This is normally where the handsome guy gets a kiss from his gorgeous dance partner." His eyes were bright, teasing, offering, but obviously letting her room to be able to push him off. Not forcing, being playful.

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

Christine hesitated minutely. Her last kiss on Risa hadn't ended very well. Still, despite his blatant flirting and his reputation, Kirk had been a perfect gentleman all night.

She played along, smiling and purring, "Is that so? In that case, Jim, I bow to your expertise." She hooked her arms around his neck and leaned in, closing her eyes and pressing her lips softly against his.

Kirk stayed a perfect gentleman, keeping the kiss light and chaste before pulling back. "A kiss well earned." He purred, licking his lips.

Chapel smiled as he drew back. "Thank you for the dance, Mr. Kirk," she told him, curtsying again. "You do know how to show a girl a good time."

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

"Jim." He reminded her, bowing low again, "It was my pleasure, Christine."

Chapel couldn't resist leaning in for another quick peck on the cheek. "I'll see you later, then, Jim," she told him. "Enjoy the party." She walked off, giving him a full view of her backless dress and long legs.
