ooc: We've had several requests to re-create the story where our RPG characters shifted into the real world and met us (and also the actors who play them on TV). So, here we go!

Last time this was accomplished via Harry pushing a Big Red Button discovered underneath Janeway's chair, but we can go with other improbable plot devices, too.

Pretty much no rules, other than the board's usual rules (be nice, keep it clean, PG-13, etc.) The only addendum is that nobody can NPC another person's real self. Everybody has complete control of their own character. Of themselves. You get the idea. :p

Other than that, it's a free-for-all, so anybody can introduce plot elements and twists at will. Last time we wound up at a cosplay convention, Nth went insane, we were pulled over by the police and had to fake a baby delivery, etc. I also just found the line: "Do we usually store spaghetti in the weapons lockers?"

In short, go nuts.

If you'd like to read the original, click here and start on page 58.

ic: Nothing particularly interesting or life-threatening had happened in several hours. The bridge was quiet. Nobody mentioned either the Delta Quadrant or the Dominion, making it difficult to place this story in the timeline. But that was all right. Because utter insanity was about to throw a party.

TAG: Anybody with any way we arrive in the real world

Mister Harry Kim, newly promoted to Lieutenant status strode into sickbay nursing what appeared to be a black eye.

"Hey, Doc?"

The young man was met with silence and a thorough search of sickbay yielded nothing.

"Computer, locate the EMH."

LCARS: "The EMH is not on board Voyager."

Harry furrowed a brow. The last time he checked on the doctor, he was working on some kind of new way to detect changelings without the need for a blood test.

"Well, where is he?"

LCARS: "How am I supposed to know?"

Ensign Murphy looked at the computer core, then back at Neelix, and back at the computer core.

"How did you even get it there?"

"Hmm.. yes well I'm not to sure about that. But you see, I thought the Engineers here could use a pick-me up since they work so hard so I brought them some fresh Leola Root stew to cheer them up!" Neelix raced through the sentence in his normal jolly tone, a wide smile on his face as he looked obliviously at Thomas.

Thomas looked at the core. The stew was now lightly sizzling on the hot integrated circuitry. "Yes well... atleast the Computer Core is being cheered up." He said in an exasperated tone. "Computer, engage back up circuitry systems, commence shutdown of main computer core for repairs." He sighed, gesturing for Neelix to hand him a nearby Hypospanner.

LCARS: "No."

A look of surprise crossed Thomas face. "W..what? Why not?" He uttered, before realizing that the computer wouldn't respond to that question... wait...

LCARS: "I don't want to."

Neelix: "...Well the computer seems to be in a bad mood!" He said cheerily before waltzing out of the computer core back towards the mess hall.

Thomas was at a loss. The Computer shouldn't be responding like that. He looked back down at the Leola Root stew. Somehow, he knew Neelix was responsible. He tapped his combadge. B'Elanna was still on leave, so he immediately went to his second option.

:comm: Ensign Murphy to Lieutenant Kim, I might need your assistance in the computer core. There's some Leola Ro... :comm:

The connection was cut.

LCARS (in Sickbay): "The Computer Core is fine. No need to worry."

OOC: Oh dear. I'm going to have far too much fun with this since my character is basically me if I was in ST.
"So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it... Computer, erase that entire personal log."

"Computer?" He asked politely as it started playing Klingon rock rather loudly in his quarters.
LCARS: "Here bro!"
That was strange... It got stranger as the computer started singing along, but still in it's normal tone of voice. "Can you please turn that racket off?"
The computer didn't notice.
He walked out of his quarters into the corridor where Beethoven was playing. Strange... He walked into the turbo lift. "Deck 2, mess hall." Much to his surprise, in here the lift was reprising 'the album of 101 lift melodies from the 21st century.' The lift also seemed to be moving much slower. This was going to be a long day...

Gallagher was enjoying some time on the holodeck, when suddenly his Hornblower holonovel desolved and was replaced by a 2D video being displayed on the far wall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IED4JoSncQE
"Computer, what is going on?"
Receiving no answer he tries to leave only to find that he can't...

Harry tapped his comm badge.

:comm: Ensign Murphy? Thomas, can you hear me? :comm:

"I guess I have to find out the hard way what's going on with the computer core and, did he mention leola root?"

ooc: LOL you guys!!

ic: Janeway was in engineering, trying to figure out why every single thing was going wrong on her ship, and why LCARS had suddenly started replicating bloodwine instead of coffee and then laughing at her when she tried to correct the error. At first she thought it might be Q Jr. again, and had spent several minutes angrily yelling at the impassive walls of her ready room before giving up when no Q appeared to fix the problems. Apparently they'd have to solve this themselves.

Ensign Murphy and Neelix werewas cleaning the mess Neelix had made in the computer core. She'd start there. "Report," she said, approaching the two.

OOC: Neelix has already toddled back off the the mess hall

IC: Ensign Murphy snapped to attention as the Captain approached. He still hadn't quite adjusted to Voyager...
"Yes Ma'am! Well, it appears that somehow..." He shot a disapproving glance and the disappearing figure of the chef, " somehow, some Leola Root stew ended up on the main computer core circuitry. It happened just about the same time that the Computer started act..."

LCARS: "I am acting perfectly fine, thank you very much."

Thomas paused as the computer spoke in an annoyed tone. "I don't know why, but i'm positive the stew is responsible for the backtalk..."

LCARS: "Stop talking."

"I was just about go and engage backup systems manually, since the computer is refus..."

LCARS: "Ok. You asked for it."

Thomas covered his ears as the Computer began to play an ancient 21st century Eurovision entry at a deafening volume. He shot the Captain a miserable look as he began to climb over the barrier separating the exposed computer circuitry. He jumped back in shock as a forcefield suddenly materialised around the Leola Root encrusted circuitry.

After 5 minutes of the lift being excruciatingly slow, it finally made it up the one deck he had asked it to go... Scott wasn't too sure what was going on or if he was even sane anymore and this raised the question, had he ever been sane? Judging everyone else's reactions and the fact that the computer was singing along to Queen, he came to the conclusion that either everyone had gone mad or it was just the computer. He entered the mess hall.
"Irn-Bru, chilled." He asked the replicator.
LCARS: "Sing along! We are the champions, we are the champions!"
"What on Mars is going on?
LCARS: "No time for losers! We are the champions of"
"The world." Scott said as deadpan as possible. "My drink please?"

ooc: You guys are making me spill my coffee, I'm laughing so hard!
Thomas, Faelon says thanks for prompting me into blasting that song in our apartment. :p

ic: Janeway clamped her hands over her ears and shot a disgruntled look at the ceiling. "Computer, silence audio!"

It grew louder.

OOC: You are both VERY welcome! :D I can go alot randomer than that though xD

IC:
Thomas' ears were bleeding. He was a fan of Eurovision, but this was just.... "Can it go any randomer?" he said to no-one in particular.

LCARS: Challenge Accepted.

That was it. Thomas walked over and removed a nearby wall panel covering one of the power relays. He would manually cut power to the computer if needed.

LCARS: Stop.

Thomas paused momentarily before reaching in to disconnect the power relay.

LCARS: Fine then.

Thomas' vision disappeared in a flurry of lights as transport was suddenly initiated and the computer ejected him from Engineering.

OOC: So, originally I was just gonna have the Leola-Root infected computer send us to crazy town when we tried to repair it. But I believe Nth has an idea for getting us there, so I'll let him go ahead :) )

ooc: LOL! Whatisthisidonteven. Also, there's apparently a Jpop version of that song.

ic: "Computer, beam him back immediately!"

"What do you say?" LCARS responded in a sing-song tone.

Okay, this had to be a strange dream. Janeway glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then tentatively added, "Please?"

From the moment that Seven had stepped out of her alcove, she had known that something was... wrong. She didn't know how she knew it, but something was definitely off. It was more than a "hunch"; she could somehow feel it in her bones.

Against her better judgement, however, she did her best to put the feeling out of her mind and get on with her business. She wasn't particularly hungry and didn't feel like wasting her time by going to the Mess Hall, but she also knew that she would probably get a lecture later about how "breakfast was the most important meal of the day".

With that, she left the Cargo Bay and made her way to the Mess Hall, feeling a slight revulsion when she walked in. "State the nature of this chaos!", she called out to whomever was within earshot.
