[The pocketwatch feed comes on suddenly, fixed on a less-than-pleased face, lips pursed in the beginning of a rather sardonic expression. He's figured out that what he has in his hand is a communicator, he just doesn't know who he's communicating with.] I'd like to know whose idea of a joke this is. Because I'm not really seeing the punchline.

I am surprised you are aware of the definition of 'quaint' with a bedside manner such as yours, Doctor. You are correct in assuming that the Enterprise doesn't make any stops at railway stations.
[He's already on the move, heading out of the library with his communicator in his hand and fixated on his face as he walks outside and onto the street, heading in the direction of the train station.]

I'm well aware of the definition, and if you're here, then it's definitely not a quaint place at all.
[...aww, Spock. Coming to play welcome wagon? Gives McCoy all the warm fuzzies. Really.] So what's the logical explanation of this place? Because I'm not hearing much that makes sense.

[His quick footsteps could probably be heard from the alley that leads to the train station, the same alley he had be Anya at when he first arrived before he is visible, still in his uniform that he has managed to keep somewhat intact, though there are tears here and there from his adventure in Jurassic Park.]

[And here is where McCoy is sure he can hear rather purposeful footsteps, so he straightens up a bit, anticipating Spock's arrival.]
((ooc: Spock's Adventure in Jurassic Park sounds like the best awful fanfic EVER))

He clears the alley and walks over to the train station's platform, looking as neutral and logical as ever, with some dust here and there.] I will state that it is satisfactory to see someone else from our universe and/or dimension as it would be, Doctor.
[ooc: damn that does sound like a terrible fic. XD]

[All right. He'll put away his sarcasm for the moment.] So there's really no discernible way out?

[He clasps his hands behind his back.] We are trapped here.

Trapped. [He echoes this darkly.] Beautiful. So what do we do while we're trapped here? Aside from looking for a way out.

[He pauses and adds, much more seriously.] Thinking about it, if refrigeration is available, you may think about being your own blood donor, if this place is really that dangerous. I can type human blood well enough if it comes to it, but you're right, your physiology complicates your situation.
Speaking of, what is the medical facility like here?
Reply
[He focuses on the serious part, because that's easier than deciphering sarcasm.] I believe refrigeration is available, but it would be easier to ask Janice Rand, who knows more of the clinic than I do. I have only been there once, not long after my own arrival. It was then that Janice discovered that our own Nurse Chapel had been sent back to the Enterprise. If there are available ways of doing it though, I would not mind creating blood packets in case an emergency reveals itself that I would need such a thing.

I'd heard Nurse Chapel spent some time here. I'll talk with Janice about it then. If we're here for the long haul, preparation can't hurt. [He's already thinking this through, making a mental inventory of what he'd like to have in an emergency, what he thinks a place that looks like this might actually have to offer and how to bridge the gap between the two.]
How dangerous is this place? You mentioned creatures. But it sounds like they're avoidable.
Reply
[He glances in the direction he had come from.] If you wish, I may lead you to the clinic, or perhaps somewhere for you to take residence temporarily for the night so that you may rest and prepare for your day tomorrow.

I suppose it's getting dark. A place to pass the night sounds like a good idea. What's the day/night cycle here? [Twenty-four hours? Bones can only hope.]
Reply
My records show that this realm has the standard twenty four hour time cycle that our own dimension has. You should be pleased, as you are not trapped within the starship in the vacuum of space. [He starts walking, hoping that Leonard would follow.] I know there is a hotel, but I am uncertain if they require a payment of some sort for you to stay there. There is no currency here, but things are provided, like food and water. There is an extra room I made up in the library in case there was another that would wish to take up residence with me. You may stay there for the night if you wish. It is quiet.
Reply
Library, huh? [How surprising that's where Spock is just plain living. But McCoy nods in agreement.] Quiet sounds good right about now. I'll take you up on the offer. Thanks
