It's so funny

[smartass_captain]

This is what's going to happen here.

You are either going to let me go back to my home, back to my ship and my crew and my mission or we're going to have problems.

I get it. The Nexus is fun, New people, new places, all that. But all this refusal to let me go back? Do you even know who you're dealing with here? I'm not giving up, and you need to quit giggling like some sort of demented sadist every time I think I'm getting back to the Enterprise.

It's not funny.

All due respect, Captain... it is a little funny.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

YOU FELL ON YOUR ASS

Congrats, you've made him speechless

[smartass_captain]

All due respect my a--

Uhura?

Jim is not king of FORT ASSHOLE today

[smartass_captain]

I really hate you.

FORT ASSHOLE CROWN IS MINE

[ixis]

I know.

Aw

[uhurajustuhura]

Sorry, sir. We're not really in charge here - they are.

Watch him fall on his ass again

[smartass_captain]

Just watch me.

You know she'd enjoy that.

[uhurajustuhura]

Oh, so you have a plan?

He doesn't

[smartass_captain]

Of course I do. It's me, remember?

[ixis]

His plan is to antagonize powerful wizards and then cry when he gets his comeuppance!

[smartass_captain]

Wrinkles I swear to god I am going to beat the smug right out of your pointy ears.

I wasn't crying!

[ixis]

He wept like a child.

[uhurajustuhura]

I remember your plans aren't usually flawless. Sir.

[uhurajustuhura]

The captain is many things, but I can't really see him weeping like a child.

[smartass_captain]

Thanks. I think.

That is a compliment, right?

[ixis]

No, no, I saw it. Bitter tears.

[not_logical]

Captain. [You're much younger than the Captain he knows so well. An interesting comparison.]

Why would getting back to the Enterprise cause a need to giggle? There is no logic in that assumption.

[smartass_captain]

What the fff--

Spock? Holy shit you aged well

I got dumped into some multiversal hub while on an away mission. No way back to the Enterprise and the mun here thinks that it's really damn funny to watch me try.

[not_logical]

Yep, he aged well, Jim.

Fascinating. It seems these mundanes will seek anything which amounts to amusement no matter what the situation. What was this multiversal hub?

[smartass_captain]

It's so weird, seeing you like this. I've seen you like really old. And normal. Not like this. Uhura stopped by, too. It's...it's good to see you guys are okay.

Some place called The Nexus.

[not_logical]

Weird? In what way? I am still the same man no matter if I look older or younger. The word weird is not a very good example of noticing the difference in different versions of myself. Are there others in the crew within this place?

[smartass_captain]

Yeah, it's you alright. Don't worry about it Spock, it's a turn of phrase. I didn't expect t'see you, any you. That's all.

I'm the only one, s'far as I know. There was some Jem'Hadar from some alternate reality distant future, he was pretty nice. But not the same.

[not_logical]

Enlighten me. What does one do within this place? [Because he has no idea about these places at all.]

[smartass_captain]

It's like shore leave, but safer, so long as you stay in the hub. Meet all kinds of new species and people. There's some sort of shielding in the Hub which prevents violence in the main areas, hence the safety part.

I've been exploring other peoples' universes, to pass the time. Less safe there. But it beats sitting around doin' nothing.

[not_logical]

Why would you need to prevent any violence unless there are species which are prone to such emotional outbursts. [He will never understand the primal need for violence. It was a good thing that his own species managed their primal rages over the centuries. Pon Farr....that's another thing altogether.]

May I ask what sort of people exist within this place?
