Q

*Just doing normal Q skullduggery*

Oh, so was I.

The Continuum got a boot out of it. I hadn't seen anyone so stupid in centuries. One thing I have to give him, though, he was fierce. Stupid, but fierce.

I feel my cosmic ears burning...

Oh, the status quo needed to be shaken up.

Well, boo-hoo.

Yeah, the Emissary of the Prophets...how degrading for them.

I can't complain about that, but why meddle on the side of a *human*, I mean really...

The only reason why he was able to punch me is that the Prophets meddled too much. They have it in for me.

It was to show you you needed me!

Still wanna explore it? Or do you wanna crawl under your beds and suck your thumbs, too afraid to do anything?

A hundred? Pfft...Try countless worlds in an infinite number of universes.

I changed you back, didn't I?!

That was fun.

Oof, that hurt.

I do, but if I admitted it, then I wouldn't be able to keep my reputation, now would I?

Well...

Overactor? I thought I was being realistic.

Oh, you wound me, Vash. I'm going to need a doctor.

*He pretended to swoon.*

She's great, isn't she? Her only flaw is she actually likes mortals.

Oh, I'm still the same I always was. I'm still me.

Not really, but I do like to let them know I'm still around. Kinda gives them something to look forward to, a break from the monotony of being worshipped by mortals.

Well, yes, that's true, but I pop in from time to time...Pay a visit to the Prophets even though they hate me.

Vash! Um...hi...I didn't know you were here.

@orzaldax.bsky.social Well, well, well, what do we have here? One of those wannabe immortals called Trill? Surely even the Trill must have better people to make kinda immortal than you.

Ah, but I would have the advantage over you, Commander. You see, I could've kept restoring that old clanker until you wore yourself out, and I wouldn't even be tired!

I would've just snapped it back into existence.

*When the meditation music faded, he just let the sound return to the background noise of the universe. His wife would probably laugh at him over this...*
