004 | scherzo no. 1 in B minor

[ VIDEO ]

[ Dorothy is normally pretty expressionless, but by her current face - eyes slightly narrowed, lips thinner - anyone who's spoken to her before might be able to tell she is Not Amused.

Coolly: ]

I am curious.

What holiday do you celebrate, where everyone loses their minds?

Please inform me.

[Ah yes, the one person he'll never ever be able to find. He'll still try, anyway.]

I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

[At the very least he'll be able to report that he didn't find her trying to sleep on any park benches or in cardboard boxes at night.]

Ahh...not well enough that I could call them out on it. Spock I've known for years, though, so he's my best shot at this.

Thank you.

[ They're strangers, but Kirk has a way of exuding confidence, that even Dorothy isn't immune to. She feels inclined to trust his word, that he'll at least try.

More curious than anything else: ]

Why would he be more emotional?

That's a good question. I'd like to say it's because he's in love, but I've seen him in love before, and he's just normally as cool about it as anything else.

[He pulls his hand over his jaw, thinking it over.]

Vulcans place a lot of value on logic and keeping control over their emotions. It's not that they don't have them, they're just able to keep emotional reactions subdued in favor of logic and reason. What's more, Spock is half human. He was raised on Vulcan, though, so his behavior isn't all that different from any others of his species.

He seemed sober, so I can't blame this on alcohol or sucrose.

Are those the only things which can inhibit a half-Vulcan?

Could he be ill?

[ But then, Dorothy pauses, and thinks. Memories. ]

What if Vulcan raised him differently? If his planet was changed, in his Memories, then he would be changed.

[ Considering what happened on Paradigm, an entire planet being different in one Memory as compared to another didn't seem that outlandish to her. ]

Hard to say. I'll have better answers once we've had a chance to sit down and talk, but I'll keep that in mind as a possibility. If he remembers being raised in an environment that didn't encourage emotional repression, who knows? It seems more cultural than biological.

In any case, he doesn't seem to think anything is wrong from what I've seen, and hasn't mentioned anything about the shift in behavior.

Most people don't seem to notice they had been different before.

...

At least, your friend is different, but not dangerous, or in danger.

Right.

[And he's grateful for that. As far as he can tell, Spock sounds like he still knows his usual self-defense moves, after hearing him describe his tussle with his new girlfriend. ...ARE they boyfriend and girlfriend now? ...No, he's getting off track.]

But your friend doesn't have a communicator, I'm guessing. I'm not sure why she wouldn't pick up otherwise.

She as a CPU, just like we do.

[ She doesn't quite understand what he means. ]

But she doesn't answer my calls.

How do you know she's got it on her? I'm just saying, if she's got her memories mixed up, she might not be ignoring you. She just might not be hearing you.

[His enormous eyebrows draw down as his gaze shifts a little upward, examining his own communicator.]

Do these things have any sort of tracking device? Seems like that would be useful if people go missing around here fairly frequently.

[ Her eyes widened a little. She hadn't considered that. ]

... I don't know.

[ She peers at the CPU, considering it. Absently: ]

It may be a breach of privacy.

[ That was always the balance, though, wasn't it? Safety and privacy. ]

Yeah. It might be.

But if you think she's really in danger, use it. Now I'm not going to advocate complete disregard for the rules, but keep in mind why those rules were made, and if breaking the rule goes against that reason.

[Because, as it turned out, Spock's accidental tracking device in Uhura's necklace wound up saving her life, so.]
