taxonomites | [holo] if you tell me where you're going i'll tell you where you're bound

Simon is dragged into Taxon mid-eyebrow raise. "Yes, of course, captain." There's no mistaking the sarcasm in his tone. "And would you like me to--"

He breaks off, looking around. It only takes a moment for his expression to shift from barely contained irritation and impatience to worry. "River?"

That worry is slowly ratcheting up into panic. "Mei mei, answer me."

When no answer is forthcoming, Simon sags just a little, his face going grey. They can't have captured them. There had to have been a warning of some kind; it's not as if the Alliance can simply... take them, without anyone realizing. He has to push away the thoughts of what they did to River, the havoc they wreaked on her mind; if anyone could do it, it would be the Alliance. But he can't have failed her again.

"Tiānsà de èmó," he mutters, panic hardening into anger and resolve. If the gŏushĭ bùrú Alliance is behind this, he'll find a way to get her out, again. He'll do anything to keep River safe.

Glancing around, he sees the tablet, and slips it in his pocket before heading down the steps and towards the door.

O-kay! Because you know, nothing signals a topic change better than a surgeon saying the words 'stitch people'! I can so live my life without imagining that happening, thanks!

[Aaaaaaaaaaand now Simon has no idea what to talk about.]

What are we changing to?

Um. What type of bizarro world are you from?

Edited 2009-07-25 06:51 (UTC)

Osiris.

Okay. Let's pretend I know what that world is and save you the hassle of me asking what the hell type of place that is.

On second thought: what the hell type of place is that?

You don't--

[Remember, humor the crazy people.]

It's a Core world. I was a resident at one of the best hospitals in Capitol City, there.

Capitol City is... somewhere in Houston?

[Okay, so incredibly 'no'. But. At least she tried!]

...Houston.

[This is the place where he can't figure out if Cordy is genuinely insane or just messing with him.]

Texas? United States of Good Old America?

Earth?

You're trying to tell me I could be from somewhere on Earth.

....annnd what's that supposed to mean?

You know, I can't decide if you're being purposefully obtuse or not.

And I can't decide if you're being purposely obnoxious or not! Hey what a coincidence!

Fine. On the highly improbably chance you're not simply an Alliance operative with a sadistic bent, I can't be from earth because earth no longer sustains life.

Alliance what-now?

And, excuse moi - what you said is impossible. Like, totally. I happen to come from Earth, you dork. Last time I checked, it can sustain life juuuuuust fine.

...Right.

Incredibly right, buddy.

My mistake.

So long as you understand. Doofus.

Oh, yes. It's crystal clear.

Mmm-hmm.

And I suppose dinosaurs roam earth freely?

Um. Yeah! I had lunch with Barney the gay dinosaur just last week.

Hello! Of course they've gone extinct, like a billion years ago or something.

Oh. Of course.

What are you, from the future? Or from a galaxy far, far away?
