'Verse Summary: For a little more than a year, Carol Marcus and Jim Kirk were in a relationship that got to be rather serious. The two were very much in love, and very happy, until the day that Carol, pregnant, left Jim without telling him she was going to bear his child. Almost six years later, in early 2261, Carol is riding aboard the Enterprise on her way to a planet for research related to the Genesis Project. Due to their close proximity, it's almost inevitable that Carol and Jim Kirk will be forced to interact. Eventually, the truth about David and his parentage is revealed, and many things change.


THREAD LIST (in chronological order)

#1- In which Jim has a birthday: It's the first time Jim and Carol are spending his birthday together as a couple, and things are definitely turning out about as well as expected- that is to say, badly.
Jim: Just a day like any other...
Carol: Jim? [Her voice is quiet, her presence unassuming. She'll leave if he wants her to, but she'd like to stay if he'll let her.]

#2- In which the truth comes out: Not long into Carol's trip, she lets slip a detail about her life which Kirk finds more than a little interesting for more than on reason.
Carol: I'm fine. Just missing my son.
Jim: [Well that's a conversation stopper if ever he heard one.]

#3-In which everyone needs a drink or three: One prompt, two conversations, three people in need of alcoholic beverages.
Jim: [Slowly sipping a much needed drink.]
#4- In which Carol and Gaila eat cookies: After her conversation with Jim, Carol retreats to the rec room for some much-needed thinking time. Gaila wanders in and decides to chat.
Gaila: Hi. Do you want some company?
Carol: [She shrugs a little in response to the question.] You're welcome to stay. I don't know how good of company I'll be, though.

#5- In which a child is excited: During their first vid call since she's been aboard the Enterprise, and, more importantly, since her talk with Jim, Carol reveals to David the identity of his father.
Carol: [Smiling shakily at vidscreen.] Hi, baby.
David: Hi, Mommy! How's the Enterprise?

Fall From Eden 'Verse

Plot thus far: Carol has to ride the Enterprise while she's being brought to a planet to see something that may be vital in helping with Project Genesis' development. While aboard, it's practically impossible for her and Jim Kirk (owns_the_chair) not to interact, and eventually in one of their conversations Carol's son David (d_marcus) comes up and Jim learns that he has a son he never knew about. They argue, but eventually the rage fizzles out and they reconcile over drinks. Afterwards, Jim calls up his best friend Bones (hesdead_jim), in need of much advice, and Carol returns to her quarters to try to figure out how to break the news to David in her next vid call with him.

If you're interested in playing any or some combination of these, or have an idea of your own that you're interested in trying out, PM or leave a comment! =)

NOTE: You don't have to be a Jim Kirk or even a Trek!muse to RP with Carol. I'll try threading with just about anyone doing just about anything, so long as we don't do any explicit sex scenes. I'm a bit prudish, and they make me embarrassed, so you'll have to find someone else for that. But gratuitous angst, h/c, fluff, torture, etc.? Sign me up!
