[ He's not believing any of this. Any of it. Either everyone's cuckoo or he's on some kind of drugs, and Dexter isn't certain which of those sounds more plausible. ]

Someone mind telling me where I can get a plane ticket back to Miami? I'll settle for a freighter at this point. A helicopter? Seaplane? [ Pause. ] A yacht?

I get it. First thing everyone asks is how to get home, but I'm not the kind of guy to kick up my heels and take it all for granted. Crime scenes to get to, work to do, and there's my son--he needs me.

...

How about a kayak?

Chuck Shurley, by the way. I don't think I actually got your name before. Friggin' internet video chat, nobody knows if real manners actually, you know, apply.

[doctor_mccoy]

Leonard McCoy.

And no more than anywhere else around here. I cant follow what's going on half the time regardless of knowing who did what and where.

1/2 sob

[paterelohim]

[did he just say Leonard fucking McCoy

yes he did]

[paterelohim]

[Recovery! Amazing what being Hetero Life Partners with Magneto will do to your weirdness tolerance.]

Yeah. Well, it's weird. There are internet etiquette rules and real world manners, but this is something different.

Nice to meet you. [Have a lazy two-finger salute from the hand holding his glass.]

He gets that a lot.

[doctor_mccoy]

[Hey if anyone knows about fictional people that also happen to be real . . .]

At least it means you never have to leave your house to socialize.

Same to you. [He's on break at work so no drinking, so the best cheers you get is with a coffee cup.]

he must have so many questions by now. :|

[paterelohim]

[You should have seen him meeting Batman. Chuck nearly peed himself.]

Mostly that just encourages being anti-social basement dwellers.

it's easier to pretend not to notice.

[doctor_mccoy]

[Who wouldn't? It's the goddamn Batman.]

However fortunate that is for the gene pool.

get chuck drunk enough and he'll explain.

[paterelohim]

I don't know. Isn't diversity a good thing?

Deal

[doctor_mccoy]

It's a bit overrated really.

[paterelohim]

[He stops himself from beginning his retort with "You're a doctor, you-". Barely. Somehow.]

-You know genetic diversity's a good thing. We'll all end up one color with twelve toes and that hip thing dogs get.

[doctor_mccoy]

Hip dysplasia.

I was kidding anyway [Because mostly he does that sarcastic with a straight face.]

that awkward moment when chuck quotes bender

[paterelohim]

Yeah, yeah- save it for the cross-burning, Adolf.

His pop culture references are limited to novels and classics

[doctor_mccoy]

Trust me, we learned our lesson after the Eugenics Wars. [Scouts honor]

[paterelohim]

They were actually called that? That's as bad as naming a horror movie "Snakes on a Plane."

[doctor_mccoy]

Most Wars haven't been staffed with creative writers.

... is that honestly a movie or did you just make that up? [it sounds made up]

[paterelohim]

That's honestly a movie. Samuel L. Jackson only took the movie because of the name, and threw a fit when they tried to change it once they finally figured out a real one.
