Dr Leonard McCoy had to admit to himself that just having Kirk here was enough to make things seem a little better. Of course, it didn't change the fact that they were trapped in an incredibly primitive world, even beyond what he was comfortable with, with no hope of rescue. But at least he wasn't alone, at least there was someone else who really knew what it was like to be taken from their universe. Although he was still a little confused about where they actually were. It seemed most likely a planet somewhere, but he just wasn't sure about anything.

He'd felt better about everything, but when he'd woken up, everything had changed again. It seemed almost like a daily thing, and, to him, it was getting very old. He would prefer it if things would stay the way they were, for the most part. Not that he was upset to get rid of the giant board games or the laser tag. They had been fairly odd, and it was no loss to see them gone.

But it didn't seem to him like this new one was any better. Emerging from his room in the morning, he saw that it was all different once more, and he swore loudly. This was definitely getting on his nerves at this point. Everywhere he looked, there was stuff that was just completely incomprehensible to him. He wandered about, looking into tents, watching the dancing with a sardonic little smirk on his face, just looking at everything. In the end, none of it made the slightest bit of sense to him. What was the purpose to all this?

The doctor ended up, just by virtue of curiousity, by a strange scene indeed. Two of the strange little creatures, mounted on animals that Bones recognized from his childhood as horses, running at each other and apparently trying to knock each other from their perch. It looked incredibly dangerous, and he watched intently, just in case his medical services were needed.

"I'm starting to think this really is an incredibly stupid place." He remarked out loud, not to anyone in particular, and took a quick sip from his hip flask.

Brennan was completely aware that she didn't look like a doctor. At least not a medical doctor. It wasn't until she opened her mouth that one even gave the thought that she might be a scholar. But when McCoy put his question so bluntly, she almost smiled. "I'm a forensic anthropologist. It's what I do. I study bones." As such, she had seen more than just a few wounds. She'd seen people ground into chili con carne, flattened between cardboard boxes, waterlogged and mummified. A flesh wound was nothing in comparison.

She turned back when he did. "I am sure that even for them, that would be impossible. But, I would need to study their bones to be absolutely sure. She turned back when he did, though she didn't fully face him the way he did to her. He looked startled by her comment and she bit her tongue. She really needed someone around to tell her when she'd said too much or gone too far. Usually that was Booth, but there was no Booth here. And she quite regretted that fact.

"I agree. If they want to prove who has the bigger sex organ, they should just lay them out on the table and measure." She'd used the immortal words of her best friend, Angela, because otherwise she would never have said it in such terms. But Angela was the more social of the two and Brennan learned a lot from her. Especially slang. She crossed her arms over her chest and then watched as he maneuvered away from the fence.

She contemplated his offer for a moment. She was in a strange land with many strange people. But so far, he seemed to be less strange than some of the others. Besides, she knew three forms of martial arts, she was probably going to be able to defend herself if it came to that. She nodded, jutting out her lower lip as she continued to think it over. "Sure." She pushed off the fence and joined him to one side. "How long have you been here?" She assumed that everyone here had been taken from somewhere else, Gabrielle hadn't said anything about anyone already living here except the goblins.
