On moving back...

[original_fine]

I want to congratulate you on your efforts here, miss, not least because this user name is vastly preferable. Golden boy? Really?

But you've already found several people interested in my world here, and that's encouraging. I will say that six versions of me seems like overkill. Believe me, I've met me many times, and it wasn't much fun.

You can keep the lady one, though. She can stay.

Oh my God.

[Captain Kirk!?]

[original_fine]

Beg your pardon?

[nonononono]

You're...you're...I mean, uh...

[JUST IN AWE don't mind him!]

[original_fine]

Oh my god, do I have something in my teeth?

[nonononono]

Wha—no! No, nothing in your teeth, you're just...

[Words, Sam, articulate them.]

You're Captain Kirk.

[imaythrowuponyou]

I'm almost afraid to ask.

[original_fine]

About which?

[imaythrowuponyou]

Why everyone but the girl you can take a hike.

[original_fine]

The others are evil or upstarts. She's a hot girl. There's math in there somewhere, do I need to do it for you?

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

How can anyone handle more than one of you, Uncle Jim?

[original_fine]

I'd tell you, but your dad would probably kill me.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

I'm sure daddy wouldn't go... that far. Just make your physical more hellish.

[original_fine]

Yes, and I already enjoy them so much.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

I would offer to do your physical instead but I'm not assigned to the Enterprise.

[Which is a damn shame, really.]

[with_discipline]

And I thought four was excessive.

...Though I suppose this 'account' is shared. [She will always dislike having her mirror self around. :x]

[original_fine]

I think there are so many on the chance she doesn't want to pay for more icons and things. Apparently my face is just that important.

(Oh, and she added another yesterday. Two, actually. Extremely flippantly. Apparently with the idea in mind that an entire account should be devoted to snide rumors about myself and a certain Vulcan.)

[with_discipline]

I'm sure Mister Spock would b very interested to hear that.

[spockactually]

Do you think so??

[dominion_war_graduate]

I can't even imagine six of you, Captain.

[Apparently not just anger brings out the old Scottish accent. Fanboyish glee must be strong indeed.]

[original_fine]

I wouldn't advise it. I hear it can lead to hemorrhaging. Mr...?

[dominion_war_graduate]

Oh, er, sorry, Captain. Lieutenant Commander Warren Matthews. I'm also with Starfleet, just ... at a later point than yourself.

I had to read all about you during Starfleet Command School.

[original_fine]

Really? [Nope, not preening. Not at all.]

[starfleetway]

Six of the infamous Captain Kirk? [One eyebrow quirks up in amusement.] As I understand it, Captain, you tended to cause quite a stir without the aid different 'versions.' With all due respect, I imagine meeting so many of yourself could be quite tumultuous.

[original_fine]

It could be, and is--but what you may not know is that it's happened before. I've met variants of myself in the course of my mission, and what I will say is that most of what I've encountered here is less disturbing.

But I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not, captain.

[starfleetway]

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you, Captain; your work in Starfleet helped to shape the Federation itself. Your logs are required reading in the Academy. I do know a little of the story concerning some of your- alternate selves, but of course, it's not the same as experiencing it personally.
