How can a human have a ‘good’ time? Your entire existence is so tragic.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Compared to you, yeah.
It's not like I have an infinite lifetime to live.
I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
You think on such a small scale.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Reckless, sure.
But the thrill of it? That's something that can't be beat.
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
It’s utterly reckless. Completely so, in fact.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
We take the good with the bad and make the most of what we can.
One way or another, we'll learn and discover things we weren't meant to find. It's in our nature.
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
Then I shall (begrudgingly) admit that mankind is more curious than the Q.
Not that it’s necessarily a good thing. Pandora’s box and all that.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Humanity is stubborn, and so am I.
The curious would take that risk. I would find it tempting.
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
Could humanity? If they were faced with uncovering truths that could redefine and bring chaos to everything there ever was, could your people take that risk?
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
So. . . You haven't questioned whether or not what the real truth is?
What is there to fear? Being able to overthrow each other?
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
Officially? Because being a Q means upholding our reputation, our legacy, our status as superior beings. That’s the lie we like to tell ourselves anyway.
I’ve always chalked it up to some of us fearing the answers to the few questions we haven’t asked yet.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
It makes me wonder . . .
If you're a supreme being? What's the use for rules when you're limitless?
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
More or less. I mean, there’s rules, rules that my people enforce upon ourselves.
But for all intents and purposes? Yes. I could do whatever the ‘hell’ I’d like.
Does that trouble you?
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Well, if our universe is a playground, that means you can basically do whatever the hell you want in it?
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
From my perspective, that’s such a small step-up that it’s near indistinguishable.
Anyway.
I mean beyond this plane of reality. Think of it like this: You’re entire universe is basically my playground.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Hey, I'm not that lowly, I'm a Spartan, a step up from most other humans. Not exactly cheap, either.
. . . Beyond understanding, what's there I can't understand?
Extra dimensional, like, existing outside of 3D kinds of shit?
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
Oh, pleaaaaaaase. Shapeshifting might define some lesser species, but it’s a parlour trick for mine.
The Q are extra-dimensional entities. We’re beyond you. Beyond ‘aliens’. Beyond everything you understand.
I take this form for your benefit.
It’s something familiar to you.
A lowly human.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
A Q . . . What exactly is that?
Is it some other kind of alien species that just so happens to take on a human looking form?
Because I've run into that.
Are you some kind of shape shifter?
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
Me? A human? Oh, don’t be a bitch. I wear this form for your benefit. I am a Q.
Your kind know me as Quinci.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Rabbits fuck like crazy and roaches are hard to kill.
It made enough sense for that kind of compariso—
Hold on, what do you mean 'your species'? You look just like one of us.
𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝟐𝟔𝟐 .
At least you’re self aware. So many of you get so upset with how I describe your species.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Rabbits or roaches.
Shit, I don't even know if I can disagree with that.
