[ 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 And now here's his face, at first much too close to the camera, and then withdrawn to a more reasonable distance, revealing Voyager era command red, and four pips at his collar.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! ]

Because it riles Kathy up, why else? Besides, I think red rather suits me.

[ He brushes his hand across it self consciously. ]

I'm of the school of thinking that the omnipotent being should wear whatever he feels like. Though perhaps you'd prefer me in--what do you call that color you're so fond of? Cat vomit yellow.

Gold.

Command Gold, yes. Well, who am I to question your taste. You'll be wearing red soon enough. Give it - oh, maybe ten years.

I'm curious--how did that meeting of yours go? Captains Kirk and Kirk. Did you play nicely together?

It's none of your business. Are you always this invasive?

[fingersnapping]

Well let's put it like this, shall we? Usually I wouldn't even have to ask.

Oh Jimmy, wait till you get to know me better. We're going to be the very best of friends.

I somehow doubt that. Don't bug Kathryn too much, we live across the hall from each other.

[ He'd hate to come and have to deck you, Q, you're pretty annoying as it is. ]

[ You shouldn't have told him where you live, Kirk. Once he knows, there's no taking it back. ]

I do as I please. I may be wearing Starfleet colors, but I don't make a habit of obeying orders. No matter how prettily you might beg.

You're impossible.

[ And he shuts off the comm because GOD DAMN IT, Q. ]
