Clone Gareth Tennenbaum // OC (CM/TNG-verse) // A bar-shaped space

Dec 15, 2011 05:05

The Door morphs into a pair of sliding doors, which whoosh open and admit a lanky young man with curly hair and a dark suit and also an armload of books. And a peeved expression which gives way to a scowl and an increasing amount of shouting ( Read more... )

"Er... They're good nachos, at least."

Martin's trying to be helpful. He's just a bit gobsmacked by the guy's appearance. Don't worry. He'll get over it. Eventually.

"Yes, it looks that way, but why are they carrying them?"

Gareth looks up at the speaker and his eyebrows go up; he stands up to more efficiently stare at the unfamiliar yet familiar man. "Are you another one of my descendants?"

They don't look exactly alike. CG's considerably taller and has a mop of unruly dark curls, and even their facial structure is a little different. But the resemblance is striking. They could be brothers.

Martin's a bit thrown by that question. The second one, not the first. He could answer the first one fairly easily, but he's forgotten all about it.

"How could I be your descendant?" he asks. "We're practically the same age."

Beat.

"Aren't we?"

Fucking Milliways.

"I'm a clone. The original me is nearly two hundred years old and he's had at least two children." Gareth scratches his head. "And I have to remind myself that he's 'the original', not my future self."

"I'm twenty. Effectively. But I was originally from 1875."

He seems to think this is sufficient explanation!

...

Well then. OK. That...

"Oh. I see. You're a... clone. Ew. I mean. No. Not that it's... It's just..."

Yeah, he lost that train of thought before it even left the station.

"Sorry. I've just never met a... clone before."

"Are you new here or something?"

Says the guy who doesn't even know he's left the building/city/dimension.

"The city's full of them, this is where we were created... Okay, what on Earth is that?" He has caught sight of the Window. That is a lot of exploding things.

"Oh. That. Uhm. Yeah, that's the end of the Universe." He doesn't sound terribly certain about that. "And this isn't actually Earth. I mean, I'm from Fitton, but there are people that come in here from all over the place. Not even on Earth."

He sounds even less certain about this. Maybe that's just how he always sounds, though.

"I'm Crieff--Er--Martin Crieff. Captain Martin Crieff."

Be more awkward, Martin. We dare you.

clonecalledgary December 17 2011, 04:42:14 UTC

"Gareth Tennenbaum." Belatedly: "The second."

"Is Fitton where you live or just where you're from? I mean, my apartment building's in space, but the access teleporter is in Seattle."

He's still watching the universe blow up as he speaks. With a rather intense stare, actually.

captaincrieff December 17 2011, 12:18:13 UTC

Martin is not watching the Universe blow up. It makes him a little sick, actually.

"Uh, well, I'm from London. I just live in Fitton. And work there. Well, based out of there, really. I sort of work all over the place. Part of the perks of being a pilot."

And a man with a van.
