[ Functioning. It applies to both his own body, and the communications device, but sadly not his powers. He'd worn himself out trying to zap himself back out of this miserable existence, and now Q was suffering--suffering from a bruised ego, a sore head, and - perhaps most unfairly - a grazed knee. Mortal, but not not Q. Trapped, but not wholly aware how. And the ticking of the clock is making his headache worse. A most disagreeable state of affairs. And now here's his face, at first much too close to the camera, and then withdrawn to a more reasonable distance, revealing Voyager era command red, and four pips at his collar. Not for a moment does his scowl subside. ]

Oh, I'm sure you think you're very clever. Do you have any idea who I am? You'd be well advised to send me back where I came from immediately. Otherwise--well, I can't be held responsible for what might happen. [ Not from him. Oh, no. But the Continuum might have something to say about it. Or his family. At least he hadn't actually fallen into the fountain. He'd come close, but with at least some small part of his once magnificent power available, he'd saved himself the splash at the last second. He leans back, inspects the fingernails of his left hand disinterestedly. ]

Well? Hurry up. I haven't got all day. I'm getting bored.


[ ooc: I'll tag this right up when I'm 100% sure what Q's tag is, thank you for bearing with me! ]

Oh pssh. That's not the way it works at all. Alternate universes are called alternate for a reason. They exist until action is taken to resolve the timeline, that's all.

[ So reassuring, Q. ]

And if they aren't resolved--well, someone must clear up all that clutter. It can't just be left to lie around indefinitely.

[And the clutter is you, Q.

That's it. She's had enough. Her patience is wearing thin and she's only human. This conversation needs to end and she needs to go find Spock and slam down a chess piece or two or better yet, indulge in some retail therapy. This week has been just too much.]

Ah, excuse me. I'm being hailed. I have to go.

[Who ever said Uhura was incapable of lying?]

nothing here

[fingersnapping]

[ But that feeling of discontent that might just feel like someone is laughing on the other side of the City--that's Q. Oh, good mileage out of this one. Wait till she finds out he's not a real captain. ]
