[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.

[[Here comes Theta, limping up to him on one wooden leg and one regular one.]]

Welcome to Ruby City! Come have a cup of tea, I'll give you all the answers you need, though I'm sure you won't like them.

[action] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 02:19:52 UTC

[Bones looks more than a bit skeptical.] Uh... no. I'm not really the tea party type. I'm interested in finding out where am I and how to get back to where I'm supposed to be. So if you have the answers, I'd appreciate hearing them.

[action] ergaleomancer October 10 2011, 02:21:22 UTC

Come sit down, then.

[[The table she's been sitting at is only a few more feet away, and come on. With that leg does it look like she wants to stand up longer than she has to?]]

[action] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 03:36:15 UTC

By all means, have a seat. [He is a doctor, after all. He can see the physical necessity.] I'm too agitated to be off my feet after that damn train ride.

So. Ruby City you said. I'm more interested in planet and system.

[That voice...referring to Jim...She grabs her watch and grins when she sees a familiar face on the feed.]

Doctor McCoy! It's Yeoman Rand. I'll be there in a few minutes. I'll explain when I get there.

[She drops the watch for a moment so that she can throw on her long coat and grab her weapons.] I'll be there soon, I promise.

[Action]/[Video] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 02:24:04 UTC

[McCoy blinks down at the pocket watch. He's never been so happy with hearing a familiar voice in his life. So of course what comes out of his mouth is an intelligent and eloquent echo of her name.] Yeoman Rand?

[And then he remembers himself.] So I'm not the only one with a surprise railway ticket then.

I'm not going anywhere. [He nods, but adds.] But, quicker's probably better.

[Action]/[Video] sf_girl_friday October 10 2011, 04:16:03 UTC

[Jan grins when she hears her title, another part of home that suddenly has appeared. It's wrong to be happy about it and she knows it, but she can't help being glad another person from her old life is here.]

Yes, sir. And no, sir. It's Janice. I've been here for over a year and Mr. Spock arrived recently.

[Somehow she manages to keep the watch steady as she runs down the stairs and out to the street, trying to make it to the train station in record time.]

[Action]/[Video] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 05:24:43 UTC

Over a year?! [This is Bones's incredulous face.] I am sure I passed you on deck yesterday. Is this one of those temporal situations?

[Because he's had his fill of those. He's... pretty impressed by the steady hand, by the by.] Spock, huh? Great. As if this place wasn't infuriating enough. [Oops. Wait. That's not nice. ...oh well.]

You've managed in this place a year? Tell me there's a bright side.

Sorry to tell you, sir, this isn't a joke.

[Sam was just passing by, exercising. At her hip sat her Zat'nik'tel, just in case something wandered out of the forest while she jogged by.]

We're all prisoners here, no signs of possible escape. Not even the stars are aligned to anything recognizable.

[She crosses her arms and bites at her lip.]

You mentioned a starship. Which one?

[The uniforms screams: Not Earth.

Or at least... not Sam's and Jack's Earth.]

Action damn_it_man October 10 2011, 03:30:58 UTC

[So maybe he's a bit startled by the answer given so close by. But he manages to mostly not show it.]

Prisoners? Prisoners of whom exactly? [Doesn't look very Klingon. He sighs.] I don't exactly have time to be held hostage. I have a sickbay to be running.

[He stops though.]

The Enterprise.

Action talkstomuch October 10 2011, 03:34:04 UTC

The Watcher and the Interloper. And their guests. They're the ones in charge of this city.

[Nope, pretty darn human aside from the Naquadah in her blood.] There's good news for you then: Time is frozen back home. It won't move forward without you there. I can assure you of that, from experience.

[A soft, slightly disappointed, sigh.]

Not one I know then.

Action damn_it_man October 10 2011, 03:38:48 UTC

In charge, huh? Fabulous. Where can I find them?

[A pause here. Time is frozen. So ah, he might have once scoffed at this, but he has no ground to stand on about time travel problems. He frowns though at the next bit.]

Ma'am, no offense, but where the hell are you from that you don't know the Enterprise; it's the shiniest flagship in the fleet. Are you from some planet outside the Federation?

[Aqua felt pretty bad that she hadn't had the chance to say hello to Dimitri when he'd arrived. So even with the worlds crappiest cold, she flicking open her watch and smiling comfortingly.]

I'm sorry but you're stuck here. Nobody got you into this but the Watcher and Interloper. Or their guests. I'm not really sure anymore, who brings us and who is just messing with us.

[Video] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 03:32:46 UTC

[Sorry, Aqua. The face that's being made at you isn't really at you. It's at this information.]

Stuck here? And who exactly are those people? [Sounds like title.] Look, I just have to get a communication up to my ship, and to hell with stuck here. If you're stranded, I'm sure we can get you home on the way. Or at least to a starbase you can catch a ride from there.

[Video] asapphireheart October 10 2011, 03:36:58 UTC

[Oh, not to worry. Plenty of people make faces at hearing about the city.]

I'm not exactly sure, I never met them. I've only ever spoken with... Temper Vale, I think. He's supposed to be a friend of the Watcher and Interloper. Or akin to that.

I don't think you'll be able to get a hold of them. There's no way to leave. I tried opening the path to the Lanes Between once but I just walked through to the other side of the portal.

[Video] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 05:20:00 UTC

[He is liking the sound of this less and less. In fact this city is giving him a headache in record time.] ...Lanes Between? Afraid I'm not familiar with that place.

[He shakes his head a little.] Look, Miss, I don't meant to be crass or take my frustration out on you, but this is a damn screwed up mess. And I'm hoping it's a concussion.

[Spock had his watch open to stream various communications while he relaxed in the library, reading up on technological advances through the early 1900s when a very familiar voice with an equally familiar face. Leonard H. McCoy. The book closed with a soft thud with a sprinkle of dust as he got to his feet. A new arrival, and one he knew. He and Janice weren't alone here now. He clicked his own feed to stream, keeping his face as neutral.]

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.]

[Action][Visual] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 06:38:55 UTC

[He's been warned informed Spock was here. Doesn't stop his lips from pressing to a sour little line.]

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.

[Action][Visual] vulcancommander October 10 2011, 06:48:01 UTC

[He turns a corner, eyes not focusing on the screen as he walks and makes sure not to walk into anything as he does so.] By the laws of logic of the dimension that the Enterprise is in, this place is not logical. There are...captors here, that keep is within this city and morph areas to whatever they see fit. They pull people in and out of this dimension at will, and it seems that you have been chosen as someone they are interested in, along with the other numerous occupants of this city.

[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.]

Re: [Action][Visual] damn_it_man October 10 2011, 06:59:04 UTC

I'm so flattered. [There's not enough sarcasm in the world for this situation.] I've heard the captors bit. Makes me feel like a chess piece, and I don't particularly care for it.

[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))
