2nd Supernova - Leaflets everywhere. Also video.

[fingersnapping]

Just can't get rid of me, can you? Today I felt - quite out of the blue - completely overwhelmed with the desire to introduce you, my fair friends, to the Q Continuum, a place that I have called home since before the idea of such a thing was even conceived. Now suffice is to say that a duller place has never existed, but there is none the less a warm coal burning among the chilly cockles of my saltwater heart for those familiar shores.

I already distributed my pamphlets over what I could of the city, but just in case you didn't arrive upon one, I thought I should share the bounty of my activities with those less fortunate. Suffice is to say that creativity among the Q has been extinct for some time, and it would be a shame to waste the fruits of my labor.

Linked over here like woah.

Your thanks and wholehearted appreciation is unnecessary. I can only hope to have enlightened you poor creatures to the existence of something far greater than yourselves.

I was unaware of how limited I am. Thank you for expanding my horizons, even if I cannot perceive them.

[He seems very sincere...]

[fingersnapping]

There! A success already! Chekov, isn't it? I knew I liked you.

audio.

[directives]

Been there, done that.

[unflagging]

Cool!

audio.

[fingersnapping]

Not even a cutting defense of your mindality?

[fingersnapping]

I thought so.

[ Preening. Much preening. ]

audio.

[directives]

You wouldn't find humanity as appealing as you do if you thought as little of us "narrow little beings" as you claim, Q. Say and advertise what you will, but I know better than to buy it.

audio.

[fingersnapping]

There are the odd one or two of you who leaden from the chaff, and therefore make yourselves far more interesting.

[ The least of it, to tell the truth. ]

Do you know what the first thing your ancestors did when given Prometheus' gift? They set each other on fire with it. Narrow little beings, yes, but because of that fascinating. Who knows what you'll do next?

[candothat]

[Oh, well. Chekov likes being liked.]

Yes, sir, Pavel Andreievich Chekov. And you are Q? One of the Q, is what I mean.

udio.

[directives]

Myself and Picard? I'm sure Jean-Luc is as flattered as I am.

[ but he didn't ask picard to mate with him (though it would've been funny if he did) or be his son's godparent. she acknowledges the significance of that when it suits her. ]

And the Q waged war with it in a cosmic conflict that had astronomical consequences.

[fingersnapping]

I am Q, and I am of the Q, Pavel. May I call you Pavel? Remind me what it is you do on the Enterprise again?

[ Little people. ]

audio.

[fingersnapping]

Mindality, my dear Captain. You witnessed our civil war through the safety goggles of your mind. Oh, it isn't the first time we've waged war across the universe, but I assure you fire had very little to do with it.

And flattered you should be, although you're by no means the first, and nor shall you be the last.

video;

[candothat]

Yes, if you like. I am a navigator and relief engineer, sir.

[How odd. He's never felt so belittled without any actual belittling.]

[reallygreathair]

What else have you got?

[fingersnapping]

A few things, and absolutely nothing at all. Why?

video;

[fingersnapping]

I suppose that makes you more use here than were you a navigator alone. Well, I am simply charmed to meet you! Do you work at the laboratories too?

video;

[candothat]

That it does. I have yet to see anyone request the assistance of a navigator here.

It's an honor to meet you as well, sir. Yes, I work at both the Starfleet laboratories and City Solutions.

[fingersnapping]

Well there's always a first time for everything, that's what I like to say. What's the point in infinite possibilities if everything isn't infinitely possible?

There's no need to call me Sir. Any old Ensign can call me Sir, but you're Pavel Andreievich Chekov, my bestest new pal, and you can call me Q.

[ Besides, Janeway had him under orders, and he's going to skirt the fine line on playing with the Enterprise crew by making sure they know he's not an actual Captain, despite the pips he still wears daily. ]

not here.

[ ROLLING HER EYES SO MUCH AT THIS be nice to him or she'll hurt you ]

[water_wine_wizard]

[She's reading the leaflet and briefly is horrified at the design of it. Honestly you'd think that an all powerful being would have better designing abilities.]

Oh. My brother can do this. Though I think his designing ability is a bit more... tasteful.


[Not impressed.

We also must quietly mention that her brother is a great big Gary Stu aware of the 4th wall an individual of power on par with the Q and travels the multiverse. While Laruna herself isn't aware of the 4th wall, she does know her brother can do amazing things that he shouldn't be able to do.]

[fingersnapping]

[ He gets points for trying. No Q has made anything for so long that most of them have forgotten they actually did. That doesn't mean he isn't going to pout about it--he's exceptionally good at that. Practice makes perfect etc. ]

Well bully for him, I suppose. And what's your contribution?

not here.

[fingersnapping]

[ But I'm going to love him and squeeze him and hug him and call him George... ]

[water_wine_wizard]

Oh don't pout, sweetie. It ruins that cute little nose of yours.

audio.

[directives]

How many have been there more than once?

[ she assumes the fact that she's been to the continue twice and seen it through two very different pairs of "safety goggles" is something of a rarity. had he ever taken picard to the continuum? ]

audio.

[fingersnapping]

Oh, none. Perhaps not even in the history of the Continuum. But that credibility is not what makes you special, Kathryn, although your experience was certainly an enlightening one, perhaps even for both of us.

[ Picard saw 1940s New York. Not even kidding. ]

But...it's all a matter of education. What you see depends wholly on what reality your mind can accept, and as you grow closer to our level of consciousness, your perceptions are bound to change. In essence--if you expect to look into infinity, then infinity is what you will see.
