[ today finds captain janeway hit with her very first curse. she's young again, standing at the threshold of change wherein a tragedy that has yet to occur will help drive her into the captain's chair. but for now, she's simply a scientist, a recent graduate of the academy who, from her perspective, has found herself sucked into some temporal anomaly while in the midst of her first assignment. at this point in her life, she's very dedicated to her field, and has no aspirations of setting her sights on command. in fact, when commander chakotay insisted that she'd one day be wearing red with four pips pinned to her collar, she laughed, because that's not her. maybe that's another kathryn janeway, one who doesn't mind being called by her first name,but it's certainly not the one who prefers to be called katie.

after being ordered out of her uniform, katie found a decent change of clothes, pocketed her combadge and grabbed the archaic device the commander had insisted was the primary means of communication in this place, and set out on a morning jog around the city. later in the afternoon, she'd stop for a breather in xanadu and pull out her older self's cell phone to fiddle with it some and ask the network a very important question. ]

Does anyone know where a girl can get a decent bowl of ice cream in this place?

[ katie wouldn't give her the finger, nevermind that she has no idea what that gesture even means anymore, as it's faded out of use in most areas in the centuries since the third world war and making first contact with the vulcans. joan instead gets a polite smile and a wave. ]

Hi! Morning! It's pretty nice out, don't you think?

Good weather and a minimum of shouting. Relaxing morning. [ Joan smiles back. ]

And curse-free, or so it seems.

[ still in denial about being cursed herself. she doesn't remember being older, being a captain -- she doesn't want to remember. kathryn janeway makes her own life, her own choices. she doesn't approve of some city messing with her like this. ]

[ Joan had spoken to the captain once before, when she was older, but they weren't close, and she didn't recognize Janeway at all, except to note a passing resemblance. ]

Cross your fingers. No one else is awake yet.

[ katie holds up both hands, fingers crossed on both. ]

Here's to hoping we're blessed with a curse-free day. Sounds like this place could use a couple more of those.
