Sector 001 - video;
[ 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 And now here's his face, at first much too close to the camera, and then withdrawn to a more reasonable distance, revealing Voyager era command red, and four pips at his collar.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! ]

(looked at Q's abilities. giggled at finger kiss mating)
Yes. You know. When a sufficiently powerful individual imbues a something or another with a Name of power so that no matter how hard anyone else tries they won't be able to change it. And it becomes that which it's named. So. Someone Named the City and now no one can ever name it something else.
My boss Named a bunch of kittens in a fit of pique which we now all regret. Trouble and Mayhem are terrible things to Name kittens.
yup none of that in Poly. Janeway would end him.
[ And actually he did. Reference material of an entire universe. Maybe he didn't grasp the particular universal subtleties, but there were species who respected such things, imbued simple words with power that transformed the future of those things.
Voyager, for example. ]
Trouble and Mayhem sound like excellent names for cats. I've never named one myself, but I'd like to think I'd choose something similar.
we don't need little qs running around
I'm afraid of what will happen when he grows up.
[He waves an annoyed hand and accidentally knocks the rat off his shoulder.]
But that is a problem to face when I'm at home.
I'm Theodred, by the way.
[It is unknown if Q has ever read the Lord of the Rings, or even cares about it, but Theo's name is directly taken from there.]
lies, little qs for everyone. that's a curse in of itself.
Q.
It is. Horrible horrible curse
Like the letter?

The Q have always existed. We weren't born, we exist outside of time and space, outside of the binding laws of alternate histories. You may not know that we're there, but I assure you that we are.
On which world. As if I'd be confined to a single miserable planet.
[ Which he is, presently. But that's the heart of the problem--the choice of the word 'world' to describe alternate realities, nothing else. ]

Narrow minded child-creature? You don't even know who I am. You claim to be a creature existing outside of time and space? Prove it.
[You have to forgive him. His wife visited for the fourth wall weekend and now she's gone again.]

[ Everyone is grumpy. That's just how most arguments start. ]
It's hardly my fault that you don't understand the difference between worlds and universes. I should have thought it would be obvious to anyone with an ounce of sense.

Alternate realities, universes, worlds that's ritual mage territory.
You're still not from my universe then. Or reality. Whatever you want to call it. I know those who were there from the beginning and they've never heard of you.
