Alright let's do this.

 ...Clones?


Clones. You want me to go to a goddamn island in the goddamn future full of self aware clones.

And you want me to be a clone along with the rest of the madhouse.

No, no, and no. Not gonna happen. I don't care if there's a clone of Jim, I don't care if the whole damn command crew is there in clone form, I'm not going.  Between space or the clones, I'll take space in a heartbeat; flares and Klingons and hobgoblins and all.

I don't think you... we have much of a choice, Doctor.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

You're damn right we don't. It just won't do to let them think we're happy about it.

[designates]

I think they're aware of the wrong note screeching over the top of their symphony, Doctor.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

Well I'm gonna screech and sour until the damn conductor lets me sit out. Poor players are usually kicked out of the concert hall, not dragged along kicking and screaming.

these two are r i d i c u l o u s also omg your bones ❤

[designates]

Seems to be more of a mandatory school concert than a professional philharmonic.

fff thank you

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

So instead of being fired I'm stuck in the back with the triangle. Lucky me.

[kwirkin]

Could be worse. Could be prison.

[don't be mad come on look at this face]

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

With you or someone that thinks he's you there? Prison'll happen sooner or later. Probably sooner.

[kwirkin]

Nah, with me. And Spock. We're a little bit...stuck.

[Very stuck.]

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

...

[Let him take a long breath, Jim. You and prison never end well. Throw in the hobgoblin and it's just a bigger migraine.]

What did you do?

[kwirkin]

Personally? I'd say nothing, or at least nothing Starfleet hasn't already decided isn't worth writing me up for. Them, they say the usual run of...treason and a little bit of murder. Assault. I think there was even something in there about the prime directive, actually.

[He wasn't really listening at the time.]

As prisons go, it's pretty nice, though!

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

What.

[Any one of those was a little hard to wrap his head around- except the assault. That just came with Jim being Jim and not sitting around when he saw something that needed fixing. But treason? Murder?]

What the hell happened man?

have a deleted scenes character?

[notgaila]

I think protesting only encourages them, Doctor.

Obscure characters need love too <3

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

Should've told me that before I started ranting; now she's determined to put me there.

[notgaila]

At least you'll know for next time? Don't let your mun talk you anything - what's that human phrase? Don't drink the koolaid?

[ whatever that means. ]

[evodevo]

Being a clone isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

No, you're right. It's not the being a clone that bothers me, it's the fact I'll be forced through constant goddamn psych evals and therapy.

[evodevo]

Yikes. Yeah, that's something to be concerned about.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

It makes sense if you've got a batch of clones that know they're clones with memories that don't belong to them but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

[evodevo]

Whoa, whoa, back up. Memories that don't belong to them? That's a new slice of the crazy puzzle.

u never call, u never write

[ _{PUPPYDOG EYES} ]

But then I'll be all alone. Don't leave me all alone out there, Bones.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

Don't give me those eyes, kid. I am not walking in there if I can help it and ask'n isn't going to make me want to.

[That look comes before trouble, a migraine, and a soon to be sore liver.]

[barelydead]

[ _{FINE he'll drop the puppydog eyes for a grin instead.} ]

It isn't even half as bad as you think it is. Trust me, it'll be fun.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

[The grin is worse than the puppy eyes. He's going to need a drink to put up with this, goddamn.]

What you call fun I call insane, Jim. Keep me out of it.

[barelydead]

But that's what you always say. C'mon. You and I, we'll take the place by storm.
