004 | text | late night at the hospital into surprise monday hugs

[mintjulep]

If anyone noticed a planet imploding in reflective surfaces the other day, it was another dream. Don't worry about it. That said, if any of you were injured by dreams and haven't come to the hospital yet, get a move on. If it's serious, I'll be here all night. If not, day shift will have you covered.

And can someone explain why the janitor just hugged me?

((ooc: Open action for hospital people and/or people running into him on his way home in the morning!))

Perhaps he is elated to see you?

(voice.)

[mintjulep]

Don't know why he would be.

[Arm too broken to text right now.]

I saw eet.

voice;

[mintjulep]

Sorry about that.

[ Pause. ]

How are you doin'?

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

Recovering.

[What else was she meant to do.]

Would eet be unpleasant, to ask about zhis planet?

[hatedbyfanboys]

... That's a weird thing to do.

voice;

[mintjulep]

That's good.

[ There's a pause and a slight sigh. ]

Guess I should be used to talking about it by now.

(voice.)

[godofabs]

Is the feeling not mutual?

[ McCoy is still staring down the hall, dumbfounded. ]

Don't I know it.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Maybe he was just... in a good mood?

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

Not necessarily.

[She won't push any further than that.]

(voice.)

[mintjulep]

We don't really know each other that well.

voice;

[mintjulep]

[ There's a long pause. He's seen some of her nightmares and he couldn't save her from them. He can offer some insight into his own, however. ]

Someone created a black hole in the center of the planet.

video;

[mintjulep]

Could be. I guess I'd be in a good mood if I were headed out.

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

[She couldn't save herself, fuck you.]

Zhat ees quite a feat.

[And horrible as it is, she kind of wishes she could have seen it. What was meant to be a study of several years had been abruptly ended after a few months. She had wanted to see so many things.]

voice;

[mintjulep]

[ Maybe after some drinks. ]

They wiped out nearly the entire population. Before that, they wiped out every ship that came to help, except for the one I was on -- and we were still hit pretty damn badly.

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

[ B[ ]

You 'ave a bit of luck on your side, zhen.

[Unlike someone.......]

What was zhe purpose of zhis genocide?

voice;

[mintjulep]

Psychotic Romulans -- aliens -- from the future.

[ Another sigh. ]

They were pulled back into time through a black hole and altered the timeline. Their planet was destroyed when a star went supernova and their captain thought that destroying every planet in the Federation would somehow prevent it from happening again.

So he started with Vulcan, since it was a Vulcan who tried to help save Romulus.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Or maybe he asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said yes.

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

What nonsense.

[Psychotic indeed.]

Chekov 'as mentioned your federation. How many years 'as it taken to establish such a thing?

[MAKE UP A NUMBER GADGETS. IDGAF WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS.]

video;

[mintjulep]

Or maybe he got a raise.

voice;

[mintjulep]

[ TOO BAD YOU GET TO KNOW ANYWAY. ]

It was founded in 2161 after a temporary alliance in 2154. It's 2258 when I'm from, though with Vulcan gone, we've suffered a big blow.

They're damn good scientists, even if they're practically emotionless bastards.

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

Zhe emotionless are dangerous.

[Fuck you, SHODAN.]

voice;

[mintjulep]

Their society is all based on logic. Makes dealing with them a pain in the ass, in my opinion.

...'course, when you do piss 'em off, you don't want to be in the way.

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

[Hmm.]

I should 'ave liked to see such a society.

[She probably shouldn't have said that. Let's blame the painkillers and pretend it never happened.]
