Looks like someone knew exactly what I wanted... or should I say, needed.

[The image focuses on a poster on the wall of Mulder's office area in his apartment. There are a bunch of other things pinned to the wall as well- mostly his own notes, and other things of interest he's collected over time here. But the poster is clearly the focus of the picture. Finally, Mulder moves in.]

Did anyone else catch sight of that sleigh in the sky on Christmas Eve? I know I saw something up there, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a spaceship. This time.

You see... on my world, Santa Claus is a mythical character believed in by children... but I'm starting to wonder now if there might be something to that supposed legend of good old Saint Nick. It would explain the freaky little elves who were running around demanding things, too.

[Believing in children's fantasies is a bit of a stretch even for him usually, but after his sighting and the gift he wonders. Sure, it's just as much possible it's some trick of the Malnosso... but would that matter right now with what this means to him? He glances back to the poster. Back home, it had been burned up in that fire, along with a great deal of his work. Having it back gives him a feeling of hope and renewal.]

Maybe that's what Santa- or someone- wants to tell me. To keep believing, to never give up. It's a very different message than I'd have gotten from a fruitcake.

There is no need to apologize, but I appreciate your sentiment.

Indeed... Vulcans differ greatly to that of human physiology. [Spock's head tilts...]

Though I am curious... what of Vulcans are you aware of, as you seem to have previous knowledge.

If I told you how, you probably would think I sound crazy. [Which... wouldn't be a first for Mulder. :|] A somewhat saner answer would be that since I've been here for a while, I've read up on a great deal about other worlds. [Which is also indeed the case.] Proving the existence of extraterrestrial, non-human life in particular is important to me.

[Spock would not think you were crazy.... he's heard of the television series.]

Indeed?

[Mulder would have done well on the Enterprise..]

Perhaps when I have regained my sight, you would be amenable to meeting in person? I would be most interested in learning about experiences.

[He's learned not to spring the tv stuff onto people right away... though many do find out sooner or later around here.]

Would I ever. [Oh god, he feels like a gleeful kid again, watching his first Star Trek episodes and getting into the series. This is amazing. All of the awful things he's experienced here, it was all worth it for this moment.] I would be honored to meet... whenever you're up for it, of course. I know how their effects can be.

hahaha! That was amazing! XD

[spohkh]

[Spock would have full on smiled if he wasn't so Vulcan, as it is, he adopted a look of curiosity and amusement.]

That would be well.

I will contact you when I am once again with sight...

[Spock lifts his hand in a Ta'al...] Peace and long life to you Mister Mulder, until next we meet.

hahaha yay I'm glad it was! XD

[most_unwanted]

I'll be looking forward to the opportunity.

[And he holds his hand in the same salute, it doesn't matter whether it's seen or not.]

Live long and prosper.
