Where the hell did all these people come from?

For god's sake, no one get hurt.

((ooc: Open to fourth wall! Everyone welcome~))

[Hello, doctor. Don't mind this thing dropping in on you.]

Are you really worried about people getting hurt?

[And it...talks? It doesn't move its mouth to do so, so perhaps it's more telepathy than true speech, but the voice it speaks with is high-pitched and somewhat childlike.]

[mintjulep]

[ ... the fuck is this. ]

Well, yeah. I'm a doctor.

[pratentious]

If you've an explanation, then by all means, I'd love to hear it.

[ Otherwise, you are just being rude. 8| ]

[mintjulep]

If I had an explanation, I wouldn't be asking.

[ yup. 8| ]

[mitzigaynor]

It's a bit late for that darling, I've already ripped my tights...

[And is sounding quite put out about it. Kitten, what have we told you about talking to strangers?]

[mintjulep]

Are your legs banged up at all, or were the tights the only casualty?

[ On the bright side, Kitten is far from the strangest person he's ever met. ]

[countrydoctor]

Some of these people'd like to know where it is they are.

[mintjulep]

[ . . . o h ]

It's called the City. No one's quite figured out what it is yet, but theories are in favor of a nexus of some sort where people from parallel universes just sort of show up.

[child_radical]

It's one of the standard curses. Also, you shouldn't be surprised if you run into a copy of yourself or somebody that should be dead.

[mintjulep]

... Great.

How long does this one usually last?

[original_fine]

[Have a rather surprised looking, and older, Jim Kirk.]

Bones?

OH MY GOD THAT ICON

[mintjulep]

[ Oh god another one. ]

I'd say "the one and only", but that sure ain't true.

[ And he is fairly certain you're not his Jim, if only because his Jim isn't that... old. ]

[nofavouritism]

[ a familiar face. ]

Dr McCoy?

[mintjulep]

[ Oh thank god. ]

It's about time someone from home showed up. You all right?

[action]

[candothat]

[Don't even ask how he found you. No, really, don't, because he'd be more than happy to tell you.]

Doctor McCoy!

[Ahem. Addressing a superior officer.]

Sir.

[mintjulep]

[ Oh Chekov, you are so bouncy and cute and all of seventeen, which means he needs to resist the urge to motherhen you since, well, you're an ensign and all that. ]

Starfleet doesn't exist around here, Ensign, you might as well leave the 'sir' out of it.

[ Ignoring the fact that he just called him by his rank... ]

When did you get here?

[threadsdetonators]

Hey, buddy. You mind tell me where the hell I am?

[mintjulep]

It's called the City.

action;

[assimilate]

As far as I can tell, we've encountered some sort of rift in the fabric of space-time.

[mintjulep]

[ Jesus tapdancing Christ--

Hey, he knows that insignia... ]

You're Starfleet?

[foolsarcana]

Do you really think people plan on getting hurt? You sure make it sound like it.

[mintjulep]

I don't think most of 'em will plan on it, but I know better than to think no one will.

[pettedasnake]

Ohio.

[mintjulep]

You know, you're the first one to actually answer with a location.

action~

[onsilksheets]

Don't ask me, I just got here.

[She's confused and annoyed at the same time. Here is not exactly where she wants to be right now.]

action~

[mintjulep]

[ Sigh. ]

Right, well. Welcome to the City.

[deus_ex_cadet]

I can't say for sure, sir. I don't think it was anything I did...

[mintjulep]

It probably wasn't.

You're Starfleet? [ He's beginning to wonder why they're all coming now. Just his luck. ]

[hyperlogical]

Based on my observations, I hypothesize that they were drawn here through a rift in space-time or a similar phenomenon from a variety of alternate universes, Doctor McCoy.

[mintjulep]

[ His first thought is "oh god it's you" but he doesn't actually say that. Instead he just stares for a minute or two. ]

Well I understand that much, but what the hell are you all coming here so damn quickly for?

VIDEOISH idk

[leaps]

I was on the bridge a minute ago.

[ NOT HIS FAULT. ]

/patpat

[mintjulep]

That's what they all say.

Where are you now?

audio

[entangles]

Same way we came in, I suspect.

[mintjulep]

Sure are a lot of 'em.

action;

[symbiont]

Just when I thought this place was free of familiar faces. Hello, Leonard.

[mintjulep]

Well I'll be damned.

[ You get a smile and everything. ]

It's been a while.

[ ACCIDENTAL AUDIO ] also like 1/3 or something

[ex_aptitude528]

[ SPUTTERING NOISES look what the cat dragged in...well actually it's more like look who just got dropped in your Ocean Over Yonder....

also the sputtered 'Bones?????!' because a LITTLE disoriented but he sure does know that voice. he's not mistaken about that, waterlogged abruptly or otherwise.... ]

2/3

[ex_aptitude528]

[ MORE SPLASHING and flailing and oh look this box floating by that is conveniently waterproof and is spouting all kinds of NOISE at jim and none of it is familiar and uh wow sure is a big beach over there....but where are all the people? Even if Jim had gotten somehow beamed elsewhere (and he's not sure how because he was nowhere near it but details, details) this isn't any 'elsewhere' he recognizes and that's unsettling too, sounds more and more like some Big Mistake.

Why's this shit always happening when he's around?

But really if he's honest, he likes the adventure. He'd just rather not freeze and even when he was marooned before he wasn't soaking head to toe. Which he is now. Grabbing that box anyway, speaking into it after some shrill feedback.

God this device looks ANCIENT....]
