Calling the Enterprise Crew! [Seriously, Spock, Kirk, and McCoy READ THIS]

[geekofthegate]

Jim Kirk, Spock, Dr.McCoy? This is Daniel Jackson, please read this and respond. I've got a friend of yours here - Montgomery Scott. He is okay, if a little frazzled, and I will bring him to you as soon as I can

Pickin' 'em up like nothin' else, hm? Sounds like you're just startin' a collection over there.

[geekofthegate]

Well, hello, stranger! How've you been?

[dry laugh] You have no idea. Although I don't think I've ever picked up so many people from the same PLACE before.

By the way, just so you know: I think my unofficial title now is the Welcome Wagon of Manhattan.

[voiceofserenity]

Well, you know. Been good. Still movin', at least. You're soundin' like you're doin' pretty gorram well yourself.

Yeah, been lucky enough that when I meet 'em they're normally from all sorts of places. Wonder if it means maybe they're pullin' in clumps now, 'stead of individually...

Ah, torch's been passed, then? Cap'n'll be glad 'M not draggin' 'em home anymore. [ oooh, just listen to her tease. ]

[geekofthegate]

I like to think I am, although it can be hard to tell around here, can't it? But I'm not dying, and...oh! There are more people living in the Dan Apartments now. I'm thinking of throwing a party. You'll be invited, of course. It's been too long since we hung out.

...Wait a minute. You mean this happens to YOU, too? So I'm not the only one who magnetically attracts the new people? Because honestly, I cannot explain how I just keep running into them. It's happens on and off with increasing frequency since about three weeks after I showed up!
(Wondering that myself. It does seem odd that FOUR members of the same ship would show up from the near-same time. And granted, I volunteered to meet two of them over the network, so they might not count.)

[grins] Oh but why would I ever want to take the torch away from you? I'm sure they would appreciate your lovely charm over me. Especially since a good half of them just assume I'm insane. I was only committed once, give me a break here. [is half-kidding >.>]

[jackyourcars]

Don't tell me it's another Kirk incident.

[geekofthegate]

[barks a laugh]

No, that time, I threw everything at him at once and he called me crazy. This time, I only explained the crabs and the monsters. (I didn't even mention what the venom does to you!) And he is already calling me crazy. Obviously this is a simple matter of disbelief. (Or maybe I just strike people as being unstable, I don't know.) Which might be rectified if some of these other guys will vouch for me.

(I have my suspicions about how helpful Kirk will be, but we'll see how that goes.)

[jackyourcars]

I'd say just let him get bit and see how he believes you then, but I think that would bite us in the ass in the long run. No pun intended, come to think of it.

You want me to try and talk to him? I mean, if you think Kirk won't help then, like, I could.

[geekofthegate]

Tempting as that may be at times, I would really rather not put people through the accelerated case of bodily aches and coughing up blood and potentially turning into a monster. I mean, talk about adding insult to injury, what with them already being trapped here and confused. Or injury to insult, I suppose.

Well, maybe. If I can't get a hold of them, then sure. I think he'll be much more likely to believe his own captain, though; he might just assume you're insane like me. Fun, isn't it?

[sangre_devil]

Wow, you just seem to have a knack for running into people, dont'cha?

[geekofthegate]

You would be amazed, Dante. I've actually lost count.

[sangre_devil]

Wow, do you have like, party packs you hand out to people? Like here's a flashlight, here's your first aid...because that would be awesome.

[geekofthegate]

[laughing]

Well, you know, with supplies being tight and people just falling out of the sky at random, I have to improvise a little. The general package consists of one overly detailed explanation, assistance finding housing, assurances against insanity, and the optional life-saving addition in the case of crab interference.

[justthesebones]

Fantastic, Scotty's been pulled into this now too.

Tell him he'll get that Saurian brandy I owe him if he just keeps his mouth shut and lets you get him here in one piece.

[geekofthegate]

Yeah. I'm sorry to say that you guys seem to have a trend going.

[light chuckle] Thanks. I'll pass the message along.

[justthesebones]

He didn't manage to run into any of those crabs did he?

[geekofthegate]

No, I think he just ended up on the street and made his way straight to the internet cafe we're in. That's actually proving to be part of the problem: I only got as far as telling him about the crabs and the larger monsters, and he's already calling me crazy. Do you guys really come from such a sane universe, or do I just come across as not right in the head for some reason?

Sorry about that, I deleted the comment before you replied to it. Please repost? ^^;

[geekofthegate]

No, stay there, Jim. I'll bring him to you as soon as I can. He's already agreed to come with me thanks to Dr. McCoy.

You people are going to end up being one of those groups with fifteen members here at this rate.

(OOC: if you really do want him in the thread, feel free to have him insist. XD Not like he has a lot of reason to trust Scotty's sanity with Daniel's explanations.)

Re: No worries!

[geekofthegate]

Well, if I run into any more of them, I'll let you know. I seem to run into practically everybody who shows up here anyways. You're friend was trying to figure out how the computers work when I walked in for my morning coffee.

Good thing they don't charge rent around here, although I suppose you could always get a group rate. Is McCoy settling in okay? I've haven't seen him except on the network since Dante and I dropped him off.
