This is Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise. Bridge, do you copy?

[ There’s a man in science blue standing next to the fountain, looking cold and grumpy as he shakes his device. ]

Damn interference… Enterprise, this is McCoy. I don’t know what the hell happened with those infernal transporters, but I’m damn sure I ain’t where I’m supposed to be. Scott, can you hear me? Jim? Uhura? Sulu? Chekov? Chapel? Anyone?

… Spock?

[ Nothing, not even the hobgoblin. Dammit. ]

Right, well. Looks like I’ll try and blend in. Christmas music and all...

[ Except since his communicator couldn’t reach the Enterprise, it broadcasted his conversation to the entire city instead… ]

They do that, though.

[mintjulep]

And it shouldn't be possible.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Lots of things shouldn't be possible. Still happen, though.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

But how?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Magic. Technology we don't understand. Take your pick.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

... Second sounds better.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

There y' go, then.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

[ There's a sigh. ] Right.

You have a name?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

'course I do.

[ a beat. ] Amy Pond, hi.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

Leonard McCoy -- 'course, you probably heard that.

Thanks for the guide.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Yup. 's on the network for all to hear.

You're welcome. Better than me trying to explain.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

Great. [ Well, if anyone else shows up, at least they might be able to find him. ]

Not as concise?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

I would've forgotten half of everything. And mentioned the important stuff. Like, there's dinosaurs in the zoo.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

... Dinosaurs in the zoo.

[ He needs to see this. ]

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's brilliant

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

I'm gonna have to take a look at those.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

You should.

[ a beat. ] There's also a unicorn.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

A unicorn?

[ Whaaat. ]

What else am I gonna find in there?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

The unicorn and the dinosaurs are the most exciting, I thought.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

They are exciting, I'll give you that.

[ A unicorn. Dinosaurs. What even... ]

This place is many things, but boring's not one of them.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

And how often is that a good thing?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Always?

Well, no, okay, not always but... 's better than being bored, usually.

[ voice ]

[mintjulep]

You're not a fan of routine, are you?

[ Bones likes his routines, but it doesn't look like he'll be getting as much of them as he'd like here. ]

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Got me in one.
