[Not just one of few--he's the only one! Chekov is absolutely delighted (not that it wouldn't be delightful to see Reid even if he hadn't guessed properly, of course).]

Yes! If anyone would know, I thought that it would be you. [Who else knows about twentieth century physicists?] You're... [He tilts his head for a new perspective, but that doesn't help.] ...I have no idea. What are you dressed as?

	[ He's pretty pleased with himself for getting it right, it is a pretty subtle costume after all. Unlike his, he thought. Maybe not. ] You can't tell? Seriously? Does no one read 19th century horror in the future? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My knowledge of all 19th century literature is limited, but I can't speak for everyone in the future. Are you a sickly Gogol? [He's trying, okay.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-05 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Seriously? [ He points at the raven, giving an obvious hint with great exasperation. C'mon man. He figured out your vague costume. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Deceased Gogol with a carrion crow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh my gOD? What. What are you. ] Edgar Allan Poe! Please tell me you've heard of Edgar Allan Poe. The Telltale heart? The Raven? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. The American who wrote about birds and bodies in walls and organs in floors, yes, I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-16 07:35 am UTC (link)
	Yes! Him! [ He's so relieved, you don't even know. ] You had me scared for awhile there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm certain that there are many people from the twenty-third century who would know this costume on sight. [Although the words look sarcastic typed out, he's entirely sincere.] More than would know mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess we can both be satisfied with our costume choices today, then. Seeing as both of them were recognized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-11-27 12:34 am UTC (link)
	Satisfied as well as surprised! Although maybe my surprise was unwarranted. You're a very knowledgeable person, Dr. Reid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-27 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you? [ Is this an appropriate response. Is this an appropriate subject change. ] So, uhm. How've you been? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-11-27 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	[If any of these things are not appropriate, Chekov doesn't notice. He also doesn't foresee any ways in which this conversation could go poorly.] Well, I think, if unproductive. And you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-29 05:38 am UTC (link)
	About the same. [ And since he can't just leave it be, obviously, let's get more inappropriate. ] How are things with Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-11-29 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Chekov's expression goes from baffled to startled to nervous before settling on cautious.] Ah. Fine. I care about her very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-30 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	Good. That's, uhm. Good. [ Totally not trying to glance at Chekov's wrist or anything, nope. He's being super subtle, I bet you didn't even know he was even here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes. Er... [Chekov's wrist is band-free (for now). He gets the feeling that Reid is checking out his current band status but chooses not to say anything about it. He could be wrong, and even if he's not, there's no way to say are you trying to figure out if I'm sleeping with your ex without being rude or weird or both.

New topic?]

Have you made progress on finding a way back to the prison?

	[ Hey, one of these days he needs to cash in on his bet. He's actually a little surprised to find no band, red or blue or otherwise. Are you not putting out, Chekov. ] I, uh... I'm working on something that looks promising. It's still early days, we're doing a trial run within the next few days so I can't really say if it's progress or not yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-12-04 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	[For a while there, he'd just assumed that there was zero chance of getting prison-laid. Whoops.] A trial run! Then you have some confidence in your idea. [Which is more than Chekov has, so he's excited!] Are you operating under the premise that you can think your way out still? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-12-05 03:51 am UTC (link)
	[ That's when they get you. Or, he guesses, that's when Kitty gets you. ] Yeah, that's the angle we're working. It's, uh... the best idea I got. Nothing else really seems to make sense in practice. [ Speaking of. ] How's your thing working out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-12-05 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	[That's when his first girlfriend swooped in too, incidentally. Two for two!] Eh. The less said of it, the better. [He looks profoundly disappointed in himself, which he is.] I am a physicist. Escaping is, I think, a psychological and philosophical problem that I'm unprepared to address. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-12-06 09:51 am UTC (link)
	Well... I wouldn't go that far. Maybe this first stage is more mental than physical, but once we wake up we still need to find out way back home. That, I suspect, is way out of my skill set. [ So, you know. Don't assume too much. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have been thinking of ways to escape the physical prison that rely on what will be available to us there... [He sounds doubtful, but he's a genius from the Trek verse. He can totally MacGyver an interuniversal portal once they have some reality to work with, probably.]

If there are ways that I can help with this first stage I'm happy to, even if those ways are small.

	thisiscalm 2016-12-08 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, but I think for the time being it's a two person job. I'll get back to you if I need a consult, though. [ See? They can still be nerd bros, even if Chekov is shacking up with Reid's ex not that awfully long after their messy breakup. It's all good. It's not like he's the kind of guy who holds childish grudges for months and months or anything. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-12-10 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Good, thank you. [Now that you bracket it, it's kind of remarkable that things are as okay as they are. Chekov hasn't been pushing anything because he is too cautious to push, but he's definitely encouraging things along. Actively. Enthusiastically, even.] May I ask who your second person is?
