Q waves as well.

"Is the planet to your satisfaction?"

Permalink

"It's very nice, though I admit I don't actually know if I would be able to eat local food should I stay long term."

Permalink

"Ah yes, food. You mortals need that what, once or twice a year?"

Permalink

"I'm sure there's a species like that but not either of mine."

Permalink

"Hm..." Q looks at T'Mir inquisitively as if reading something printed on her face.

"Several times a day!? How do you find the time for anything else?"

Permalink

"It doesn't take that long after you get past the subsistence farming stage of civilization!"

Permalink

"Well if you insist on indulging in it on such a schedule I suppose this planet's food is edible for both your species."

Permalink

"I said 'long term' - can I live here for a year, not can I have lunch at that little stand with the bowls of local grain."

Permalink

"Yes the food is entirely edible and nutritious for a day, a year, or however long you have need of it."

Permalink

"Then I suppose if I do wind up with some sort of problem it will be a more unpredictable one, like if they're getting all their copper from a specific bean I can't stand or something. I wonder if I can order a bowl in mime. I'd try it but my assets were very much frozen."

An extraneous flourish later and there is a cloth bag labeled "$" in her hand.

Permalink

"What, no domino mask? - where did this come from."

Permalink

"You wound me, I made that money through my own honest labor." 

Permalink

"When was this?"

Permalink

"Just a moment ago, right in front of you."

Permalink

"And the labor in question was...?"

Permalink

"Making a bag of money, of course."

Permalink

"Counterfeit is labor but I would argue it is not honest."

Permalink

"Oh all right," a snap

- and now T'Mir is instead holding a chunk of dilithium worth several times more than her former ship. 

Permalink

"Ha. Now I have to sell this by mime but that might be fun." She experiments with ways to carry it and winds up with it on her left shoulder.

Permalink

"If you'd rather not I could give you the language? Or give them yours I suppose."

Permalink

"Have you done that before, giving ordinary mortals a language?"

Permalink

"Yes, I once gave everyone on Zythron 3 a different one."

Permalink

"So what you're saying is that in the past this experience has not been positively reviewed by the recipients."

Permalink

"Well, I was a good bit younger then."
