This is Dr. Leonard McCoy.

[And Dr. Leonard McCoy? He does not look pleased.] It seems like the nonsense of the past week is on its way to ending. I suppose we should be grateful for that, though I'd have been a lot happier if it hadn't happened in the first place

Ve? Nonsense? What nonsense? The catacombs were boring, but it wasn't that bad!

[There is Feliciano on the screen, looking cheerfully puzzled. He has spent the zombiecalypse in the catacombs, the four-star hotel version with all his basic needs provided for.]

[Maybe McCoy is going insane. He's considered it.] Catacombs, is it? You missed quite the shindig up here. It was a goddamn laugh a minute.

[morethanpasta]

Ve~?

[Have a nation blinking at you in confusion, still utterly unable to comprehend what the fuss is about.]

What happened? I just found myself in the catacombs suddenly. There was everything you needed to survive, only no arts supplies... and no pasta, either. I spent a lot of time having siesta.

[And nearly as much time fretting what had gone wrong with his relationship this time, but he's trying hard not to think about his romantic woes.]

[damn_it_man]

Goddamn zombies happened. Flooded the streets. Bit people left and right. Turned people into more zombies. [God even remembering makes him tired.] Probably best that you missed it really.

Zombies? [Feliciano's face is blank with incomprehension, the term isn't one he is familiar with. Oh, wait, there's something...] Oh, like White Zombie with Bela Lugosi? People talked about it, but I've never seen it.

I don't watch horror movies, they're scary! Uwah, I don't think I would've liked that movie coming alive around me! Getting eaten is horrible. [He shudders, he speaks from experience, no thanks to the maze.]

[video]

[damn_it_man]

Not precisely. [McCoy waves a hand.] The undead, but more the mad, murdering type than the turn-into-bats vampire type.

Yeah, tell me about it. It was a goddamn long week.

[Feliciano blinks. He gapes. He opens his mouth to ask further questions, but decides at the last minute he's better off not knowing. Being chewed on once was quite enough, thank you very much.]

I'm sorry you had such a bad week. Did anyone get hurt?

[video]

[damn_it_man]

[McCoy nods.] Yeah, you could say that. But we seem to have been lucky -- if you can call it that. Everyone ought to pull through just fine.

[video]

[morethanpasta]

Oh! I'm glad. I wouldn't like it if any of my friends had gotten hurt. Or anyone else!

[video]

[damn_it_man]

I think most of us can agree on that one.

[Here he pauses.] Nothing untoward happened while you were down in the catacombs then?

[video]

[morethanpasta]

[Feliciano looks puzzled for a moment, then he gives a tiny shrug, dismisses the oddness of the question and just shakes his head.]

Ve~ it was just very boring, though!

[video]

[damn_it_man]

Well, boredom luckily isn't malignant. Usually. [Most of the time. McCoy's come close to smothering himself with his texts back in a medical school class or two, but that's life.]

[video]

[morethanpasta]

[Feliciano just hums in response. The boredom wasn't so bad, he could spend perfectly enjoyable weeks, years even, doing absolutely nothing. The problem was that he had spent the time worrying.]

Ve~ I'm glad to be back. But I hope I won't see you again anytime soon, Doctor! [He giggles at that.]

[video]

[damn_it_man]

[McCoy nods at that and spares him an amused smile.] Good man.

[morethanpasta]

[video]

[Feliciano giggles again.] Ve~ I am! [Still laughing, he ends the transmission.]
