muse_academy, today.
Muse Name: Q
Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Prompt Numbers:
Week 18.1.A - When have you sacrificed for something you really believe in?
18.1.C - If I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said "No." - Margaret Smith
Title: Plan B
Warnings/Disclaimers: Up through the phrase "cease fire", all of the dialogue comes verbatim from the script for "The Q and the Grey". Everything after that is original, as is all the explanatory text around the dialogue.
This is an AU (well, obviously, but it's an AU to the version of Q I write in this journal as well), which belongs to a fanfic story arc.
Word Count: 2769 total; 2236 original
( How the plan got changed )

Prompt Number: Week 11.1a - Quote - Mignon McLaughlin: "Your children vividly remember every unkind thing you ever did to them, plus a few you really didn't."
Warnings/Disclaimers: In the universe this journal is written in, Q's son from Voyager "Q2" is also Trelane from TOS "Squire of Gothos". Some of this will make no sense without that knowledge. Also it might help to have seen TOS: "By Any Other Name".
( An argument. )

Week 10: 1.A - Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lord Acton
This, of course, is absolutely true... but depends entirely on your definition of power. And corruption.
( What is power? Or corruption, for that matter? )

Prompt Number:Prompt Week 1
Title: Muse Inquiries: Canon
OOC, obviously. Q's mun here. I rather like that this particular prompt community has prompts for muns to talk about the muses, because I actually almost never get to talk about what I'm doing with this journal. :-)

Prompt 1A – Category - Quote:
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. Leo Tolstoy
Been reading Starfleet analysts' notes on me. I'm finding them awfully amusing. The sheer misconceptions and silliness these mortals put in their reports based on never having met me, but merely reading reports that those who have met me put together? Oh, could there be any better example of the blind leading the stupid?
"It is unknown why the Q entity has repeatedly referred to various species as 'ugly' (cf 'It's as plain as the noses on your ugly little primate faces', stardate 42372.5; '...any more than you could win a beauty contest,' in reference to a Klingon, stardate 43539.1), if it indeed has no corporeal form at all. Why would an entity with no corporeal form have aesthetic preferences that in many cases seem to match Human?"
Because, you numbskulls, when I'm in a Human form, talking (mostly) to Humans, my frame of reference is Human. Besides which, you somehow managed to overlook that the first comment was about humans. (And you forgot me calling a Ferengi a "repulsive little troll", but I suppose Vash didn't submit any reports to Starfleet.)
( How to use your physical appearance to get mortals to react the way you want, in a few easy steps. )

OOC: Sleep ficlet for application for muse_academy.
Muse Name: Q
Fandom: Star Trek TNG
Prompt Number: Application
Title: Sleep
Warnings/Disclaimers: Based directly on the episode "Deja Q" of Star Trek:TNG.
Word Count: 1333
The thing I really don't understand about sleep is why it doesn't terrify you mortals.
You talk about sleep as if it's relaxing. Fun! Sweet sleep. Gentle sleep. Delicious sleep. Has it occurred to any of you that from your own perspective, the only way you can tell the difference between being asleep and being dead is that you wake up from being asleep? (Okay, obviously it *has* occurred to some of you, for instance William Shakespeare. But most of you seem to treat it as a fun adventure to another country, rather than what it is, which is THE TOTAL CESSATION OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.)
( My one experience with the horror of sleep. )
