Twenty-first Theory [Voice/Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Hi, Luceti library. A giant turtle is rummaging through your card catalog and muttering to himself about how woefully incomplete your filing system is. Then that same giant turtle is conducting a thorough search of your nonfiction section, and changing his complaints to a muted diatribe about how woefully incomplete your research collection is.

Eventually, he gives up, and turns to the one book that's always there for him.]

I'm looking for information about healing magic... can anyone spare a moment to enlighten me?

[Later, the very same giant turtle can be found near the playground, wandering in and out of the area, staring in odd directions and generally acting quite strange.]

... Just the once. My Captain chewed me out for attempting it. Buying into the bullshit, or whatever the hell he said.

Who, Captain Kirk? I thought he was more open-minded than that.

You knew him?

[Um. He'd already been through this with Uhura, but...]

... You're fictional in my world, Doctor. I watch you on television.

... Care to repeat that?

[ He's been here for over a year, but this is the first time someone has fourth-walled him. ]

You and your crew are characters on a scripted television show. It's extremely popular. Everyone knows who you are.

((Sorry, do you mind?))

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Right, of course we are. Did you discharge yourself from the clinic?

(( fffff I don't mind at all. ))

[... And suddenly he feels like a naughty child.] Miss Sage said it was all right.

((... Was totally stalking your threads with Jack, btw.))

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that? You don't sound so certain.

(( What why they were terrible. ))

[ voice ]

[i_speak_softly]

I've never been discharged from anything before. I don't know the procedure.

((THEY WERE HILARIOUS and also Don was at the clinic at the same time so he may have overheard some of it IC-ly.))

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

What, you've never been in a hospital before? [ ... Wait. ] Good kid.

(( ... HAHAHA oh yes, feel free to ridicule him over all that >3 ))

[ voice ]

[i_speak_softly]

No, but I've frequently been a patient in my own infirmary.

((Don does not ridicule, he gently enlightens.))

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Own infirmary, huh. Good God...

(( And that's why we love him. ))

[i_speak_softly]

I'm sorry to say we get a lot of use out of it.
