Who: two nerds and you
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: now!

[ The audio comes on sharply, but everything is still dark as two people discuss their situation.]

Is that the camera? Can you get it to work?

I - think so? Here, push this --

I am pushing it, Hank. I thought you knew about these from that show you keep watching. Space Trek?

It's Star Trek and that isn't exactly - you know, the same thing as this.

Right. . . . Wait, I think I see something on the side.

[ And the video flickers on, the red light glowing softly. It focuses on two men. One in a wheelchair and the other right next to him, peering curiously at the camera before they step back satisfied. ]

Well, that’s over and done with. Hello to anyone who might be out there. My name is Charles Xavier and this is Hank McCoy. Apparently we’ve been kidnapped again, by an unknown force again for some mysterious reason.

[muttered:] Again. [and louder] So if anyone would be kind enough to explain exactly what's going on, we'd appreciate it. You have our thanks in advance.

But do keep it pertinent.

Apparently I do! They're just... a lot younger than I remember!

Would you believe they're some of my teachers?

At this point, I'd believe a lot of stuff. You okay with this, or is weirdness like this part of your daily routine back home?

[digthefuzz]

Um... I'm okay with it! It's different from the kind of weirdness I'm used to, but this... isn't so bad? [He shrugs.]

I guess that works. [She pauses, then grins.] I gotta ask, what's the weirdest to you?

video/private

[digthefuzz]

I don't know. How do you even rank weirdness?

[A pause.]

Well, I guess talking to another me ranks pretty highly up there.

Well to me, timelines are weirder than a two headed deer. That's explained by radiation.

[An accurate comparison if she was asked.]

Yeah, point taken. What's he like?

[digthefuzz]

A... a two headed deer?! [Now Kurt seems flummoxed by that.] Different timelines used to be just scifi for me, but in the last few months they've really been becoming more like my scireality...

[He rubs his head.]

I'm still getting to know him. It's like talking to an... older, cooler mirror. Also with a tattoo. ...But it sounds like he's been through a lot more than me, too.

[grounds]

Yes, a two headed deer. [Focusing on that? Really?]

Different worlds, different lives. Hey, you should introduce us.

video/private

[digthefuzz]

[Yes really!!]

I can't even picture it. That's totally far out...!

[Then he smirks and shrugs.]

Different last name, too. He goes by 'Darkholme'. But I'd be glad to introduce you somtime.
