HI DADDY!

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO POST THINGS IN THIS JOURNAL OF YOURS!

AND NEUTRINOS ARE REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY GO THROUGH MATTER BECAUSE THEY'RE SO SMALL BUT IF YOU GET ENOUGH OF THEM TOGETHER YOU CAN MAKE A THING THAT LOOKS LIKE MATTER BUT IT'S RELALY NOT!

CAN I GO SEE YOUR FRIEND DEANNA? I'M PRACTICING HOW TO MAKE REAL FOOD THAT REALLY TASTES REAL AND I WANNA SEE IF MY CHOCOLATE SUNDAES ARE WORKING!!!! CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN I??????



OOC Note:

Time is moving differently for Q than for the other characters, because the Continuum isn't bound to the same linear timestream as everyone else lives in. Unlike the dimension of the Prophets, the Continuum *has* an internal linear timestream, but it has nothing to do with the one everyone else lives under. So when Q comes out into "our" timeline, he's generally more or less deliberately picking an exit and entry point-- he could jump to any time period in "our" universe and it would be equally as valid for him.

Thus, it's been 3,000 years of Earth years in the Continuum since the war, even though by Star Trek time it was only two or three years ago, and Q's son is by our standards emotionally about 9 or so. By the time the episode "Q2" takes place in two Star Trek timeline years, many more thousands of years will have passed and young Q will be approximately 15 or 16.

Also, because of the timeline thing and because, as much as I loved Peter David's "Q-Squared", it's been rendered non-canonical by "Q and Grey" establishing that Q and his mate were the first to have a child within the Continuum, I've decided for this shared universe that Q's son is actually Trelane, and that incident with Trelane kidnapping Kirk happened when Q's mate was still involved with the kid (and probably had something to do with her flinging her hands in the air and declaring she washed her hands of the kid). Which makes what Picard said to Q about Trelane's antics inadvertently even funnier, as Picard doesn't know Trelane is actually Q's son.

...Prophets, I can't believe I'm asking this...

Q? You ok over there? The kid (I'm assuming this is the kid) is loose. Might want to do something about it.

I see your eye roll and raise you a banging head on walls.

Yeah, taken care of. Thanks.

I leave the kid alone for a *day* and this is what happens... at least he didn't create any temporal anomalies or start any wars. Yet.

Just so long as astroids don't start hurtling towards Bajor or something.

Oh she of little faith.

[identity profile] qcontinuum.livejournal.com 2003-03-20 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Now what kinda faith do you call *that?* I don't do the god thing very often but I *hope* my worshippers had a bit more trust that I'd do... well, since I was generally a trickster god, that I'd do what I was supposed to do which was mess things up, but the point remains.

There's a no-fly zone around Bajor. Folks like us can come for a visit, even mess with a Bajoran or two, certainly mess with the humans and the Ferengi there, but absolutely no throwing of asteroids. It would greatly piss off your Prophets, and we honor the territories of other omnipotent beings. Even my *kid* knows *that.*

Now, throwing asteroids at *Earth* might be an entertaining pastime on occasion, especially when the planet is covered with nothing but boring, stupid lizards, but not Bajor. You should have more faith in your gods.

Well, I figured that someone would get some sort of Orb warning and that we'd have to go out in the Defiant and the runabouts and blow the asteroids up and then consider ourselves very lucky to have found out about the asteroids in the first place.

The Prophets love us, and watch over us, but they seem to prefer to send visions and guides and work in more...obscure...manners. They're not big on the meddling, although the Captain is, so I guess they might be more into the miracle buisness.

...yeah, I guess I have to go to set up the mandela.

Besides, how was I to know that you had a cozy respect for the Prophets? I figured gods and godlike beings had little fights about this sort of thing all the time.

Oh, they won't help you against much.

Your Prophets aren't very interventionist gods. Comes from having next to no comprehension of linear time. They won't let Bajor get blown up, aaaaaand that's about it. I'm not 100% sure they'd intervene if mortals were the ones blowing it up, either. But they won't let other godlike beings mess with it, either.

At our level we try *really* hard not to get into fights with other beings at our level. In fact we in particular have had to bend over backwards recently, since everyone is looking at us funny after we had our Civil War. There hasn't been a war between two different species of omnipotent beings since... oh, hell, there's one going on right now and you know about it, but Prophets vs. Pagh-Wraiths is a cold war through mortal intermediaries, not an actual out and out fight.

Before you get any bright ideas, Q--

Read my lips: No babysitting!

It's not that I don't sympathize with your situation, but God knows I have my hands full enough with my crew (particularly a certain former Borg).

What, you think I'm nuts?

[identity profile] qcontinuum.livejournal.com 2003-03-22 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
I can't let this kid *visit* mortals and you think I could trust a mortal to *babysit*? I've *seen* what happens when mortals try to baby-sit omnipotent children.

He'd need to be a hell of a lot older and more mature before I'd consider even bringing him to see you.

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIVEJOURNAL!

NO, you may not go bother Deanna. You are never going a ship near Enterprise again for a million billion years, not after that fiasco with Kirk.

Now STAY the hell out of my livejournal! What in the name of all the galaxies were you THINKING?

I *swear* I will drop you off in a black hole and you can stay there until you learn how to change the gravitational constant of the universe... I am *this* close. Do NOT push me.
