Cohort Mingle

[complicatedliar]

WHO: Hux, Leonard, Keith, Natasha, Loki

Seems like a good idea to have a post for mingling while everyone's trapped on the ship!

"I think I'd be pretty frustrated," he says in response.

Then they start talking about teleporting cosmic wolves and Bones is now on to that topic. "A what?" He appreciates him not having the wolf teleport in at that moment. Or ever, really. He puts his hand up, hopefully to keep Keith from doing that. "I believe you. At this point, there isn't much I won't believe."

Keith scrunched his brow a bit, and gave McCoy a knowing smile. Frustration was Keith's middle name. Dealing with something like this place when one had anger issues was sometimes a little difficult.

He smirked, though, at the reaction to his description of Kosmo. Scooping up Snow into his arms, he stood back up from his crouch.

"I think I've hit that point in my life, too." Even before he'd been in Drift Fleet...

"I was pretty skeptical before I joined Starfleet, and I'd like to think that I still am, but one only has to be told about an alternate version of you before you decide that there are some crazy things in the universe."

That wasn't even taking into account the other things he had gotten into after that first adventure on the Enterprise, like bringing Jim back to life by using Khan's blood.

Keith nodded a little.

"I haven't had that happen, yet, to me, but I've seen others... and met a few versions of people, too." He frowned a bit. "I think that's the weirdest part."

Meeting another version of Shiro back home had been weird, too... so he supposed he was already exposed to even that before really dealing with it in one of these kidnapped type of places.

"It's definitely weird," Bones agrees, "but there is at least scientific theories to support the possibility of there being alternate universes or timelines."

He takes a seat on the bed, hoping that Keith won't mind, since technically Bones is taking this room back as his anyway.

"Stuff like magic though, that definitely doesn't exist where I come from."

[tempredmental]

Keith raised an eyebrow at the magic comment.

"There's apparently an explanation for that, too, where I'm from. I don't fully get it, but it's pretty crazy. I didn't think all of that was possible, either, but..." He shrugged. "Yeah... I uh... it's a thing."

It could definitely be seen as magic.

Bones shrugs. "That's what some people have told me at least. At this point, as much as I'd like to continue to doubt everything that I've seen here, it gets exhausting. It's easier to just take whatever can't actually be proven at face value."

It's not something he ever thought he would have said, but he also never thought he'd be in this situation. This isn't an alternate timeline; it's another place entirely.

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded, a knowing look on his face.

"Yeah... that's kind of how I've been approaching things ever since I left Earth. There really isn't a better way to think about it."

He shrugged a little.

"Anyway, I should go grab another bed before there aren't any left." He gave Bones a nod. "Good meeting you. I'm Keith, by the way." He'd offer to shake hands, but his arms were a little full of snow leopard cub.

[thatsjusttypical]

"McCoy... Leonard, I guess." He's used to being called 'Bones', but the nickname almost feels wrong here without Jim. "Nice to meet you too, as well as your..."

He motions to the cub in his hands. While not thrilled about sharing a ship with a predatory animal, at least it's only a baby and Keith seems to have a good handle on him.

[tempredmental]

Keith smiled a little.

"Her name's Snow."

Two predatory animals, if one was to count Kosmo the wolf. But, really... domestic cats and dogs were also technically predatory and carnivores. This wasn't much different... Right?

"I'll see you around."
