Sixty-Fourth Theory [Action/Voice]

((First part is backdated to yesterday, November 10.))

[Would it really be so difficult for John's droids to just bring Don home?]

[Apparently, because they instead leave him in a side room of the barracks. On their way out, they drop his journal on the floor, just beyond his reach.]

[He can't feel his legs.]

[He woke up this way on John's table, and while part of his brain tried to assess the situation rationally and offer the mitigating factors that it's just for a week, thank goodness he didn't get this as his death loss, the rest of his brain was screaming too loudly to notice or care.]

[And now he's back in the village, half-paralyzed, still uncertain of his speech, and completely alone.]

[It takes a while, but he pulls himself together, drags himself a few feet across the floor, and painstakingly constructs a filter in the journal.]

Voice to Beast | Unhackable

Help. The barracks. Please...

[He closes the book when he's done. Beast won't get any reply from him through the journals, but will find him prone on the floor of the barracks, just wanting to go home.]



Voice for Everyone, November 11

[By the next day, Don has rediscovered his voice, and wants everyone else to hear it too. Being couchbound, he has nothing better to do than broadcast his every thought over the journal system.]

EVERYONE. Citizens, denizens, residents and inmates of our village of Luceti. Those of you who have just arrived, please find adequate shelter, because this is miserable weather to be out in. You're fortunate, though, to have missed our recent tornado. Also an infestation of ghosts and some messy business involving zombie viruses. Never a dull moment. I advise reading the guide, which can be found in your journal.

Those of you who are already jaded by such events, please entertain yourselves on this dreary day by suggesting a topic of interest: a fascinating subject, an intriguing project, or a hypothetical occurrence that you would find truly surprising. Jokes and stories are also welcome.

[He'll stop there. Finding words is still difficult and tiring, and like exercising any other faculty that hasn't been used in a while, he should take it slowly. Full recovery will come from patient practice, not from exhausting himself all at once.]


((Initial action is locked to Beast. Friends of Don are welcome to handwave hearing of his return and come visit, yesterday afternoon or any time during the week. Today's voice post is open to all.))

[Still studying the PADD, Robert glances up at Spock.]

That... s-seems to be more or less the, er, standard when it comes to those i-individuals who are... f-fictional in someone's world...

[Though he's wondering now exactly what that implies. Or whether there are worlds where it is accurate.]
spohkh: Say what? (huh?)

[Spock looks up and address both of his companions....]

It does make for a rather intriguing study... perhaps if you two are amenable, you could assist me in 'researching' this 'Star Trek' series. Fiction though it may be... I am here, so it is reality to some degree.

...

I would... b-be amenable to this, y-yes.

[In a way, it makes him curious whether there's something similar going on with Don's. It's not the first time he had this thought, but it's the first time he's really dwelled on it.]
spohkh: (Orly?)

~lawl! XD hahaha

[Spock lifts his eyebrow, and reaches into the cabinet where instructed...

When he returns, he is hold the 'box set'.....
Spock is staring at the picture in wonderment....]


Fascinating... this Vulcan bears a resemblance to my alternate self... [Spock was absolutely mesmerized with the picture on the front of the Case.]

/just slaps down this old as hell tag

[While that anata was intended to be an instruction for Robert, it's okay if Spock does it himself. Robert arrests his hand motion mid-gesture and steps back so Spock can fish the box set out.

And then... well.]


... He is... m-meant to be you, I... I b-believe...

[He can't help but be reminded of the alternate Donatellos he saw in the Hall of Personas at Lucetiland...]
spohkh: Say what? (huh?)

~sorry sorry! me and my hiatused self... XD

[personal profile] spohkh 2012-12-14 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Spock, not knowing that 'anata' had any special significance, looks up from the box and addresses both of them.]

My Universe encountered a temporal paradox involving a black hole which allow an older version of myself into my timeline. However, the events in my universe made it so that my alternate self's universe will never exist.

[Spock raises an eyebrow.... then looks as sheepish as a Vulcan can...] May I inquire as to what 'anata' means?
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

it's okay, I'm just as slow @_@;

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-12-15 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[... Well, that's the strangest definition of "temporal paradox" Robert has ever heard in awhile. By now he's learned that different worlds work differently, but still.

The other part, though?]


Ah... anata is... a Japanese term wh-which essentially means... 'y-you who is... mine'. It is... a t-term to refer to... m-me.

[Robert's not embarrassed about this or anything, but it is a little odd to explain.]
spohkh: (Surprise)

Re: it's okay, I'm just as slow @_@;

[personal profile] spohkh 2012-12-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[A rather curious green stain appears on Spock's cheeks as he bows his head.] My apologies, I did not understand the context and I intruded. [Spock shifted on his feet... and he would never admit to experiencing apprehension or worry... it was too human.]
spohkh: Say what? (huh?)

~would it be okay if we faded to black? It's been a lot of fun! And I can't wait for more someday!

[personal profile] spohkh 2012-12-15 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spock nods, and places the disc in the appropriate place... and witnesses the illogical mess that is TOS.]
