TWQ, DIQTATED.

So... what do you do for fun? [The word 'fun' said with the most disdain one in the body of a seventeen-year-old can muster.]

[qball]

Well, it depends on how well-made it was... I could always just look through the database, I guess, if it were a real clunker. If everything else failed, I'd just rewind through its personal timeline. But I'd only put in that level of effort for something really interesting.

[whistles_the_blues]

Hm. That's an interesting way to go about it.

I go by Break.

[qball]

I'm always interesting.

Q.

[whistles_the_blues]

And yet you can't think of anything fun to do? That's tragic.

[qball]

Oh, I could think of plenty of fun things to do! I could surf the plasma waves of Antrellia IV! I could teleport to Risa! I could watch the Xubolchian wars on Pesied Prime!

But I can't do any of that here.

[whistles_the_blues]

...Well what can you do?

[qball]

Holodecks, I guess.

[whistles_the_blues]

Holodecks?

[qball]

Yeah. They're not very fun, though, and I don't even think this place has any.

[whistles_the_blues]

I haven't heard of any around here. What about an instrument? You play anything?

[qball]

No, my people generally find recreational arts redundant.

[whistles_the_blues]

That's your people, what about you?

[qball]

I am my people, duh.

[whistles_the_blues]

Sounds lonely.

[qball]

Oh, not like that. We're a continuum-- look, I wouldn't expect temporal beings to understand.

[whistles_the_blues]

Feel free to explain. I have the time.

[qball]

It's... complicated. It's not that we're not individuals with our own experiences, but as omnipotent beings we're always constantly aware of each other's activities... Does that make sense? I don't know, what's it like existing in only one dimension? You couldn't explain it to me.

[whistles_the_blues]

You're right. I couldn't buy I think I understand well enough, it's like you always he someone behind your back. They're aware of what you're doing but not exact lying paying attention.
