Zombies in space? Really?

[ lydia hopes that her level of done is conveyed through text (sarcasm usually gets lost in text but she's in a typing mood, ok). ]

So, now that the pleasant welcome is over, can someone tell me how we are even maintaining Earth's gravity? Or a better more relevant question could be, where is all the oxygen coming from? I mean, even water is pretty limited.

[ she is disappointed about the lack of available scientific research about this place. come on, guys. the archives and records say everything about the island and its history, but nothing about what's been happening on this secret moon base. (also, seriously? this is getting a little too science fiction — says the girl from a town of werewolves.) ]

And assuming that time travel is actually possible, shouldn't the butterfly effect come into play here? You can't seriously know every single influence that lead to an event and its outcome. Sorry, I must have left my Time Travel 101 textbook back in the real world.

Perhaps our influences have already been made within the gist of things, and we're merely returning to the spot that we hadn't remembered prior in order to be in the right place to set the catalyst to perform them. So it's happening for the first time, yet ... it's already happened! Perhaps some of it is yet to happen. The intricacies of time certainly have us for a loop.

[velveteened]

It's a mystery! ＼(^▽^＠)ノ

[hear]

Literally. That is some serious circular logic. But there's still no proof, it's speculation.

[badnewsboy]

Speculation, yet we're still here.

Surprise! :)

[hear]

That's one way of putting it. But preferably with less emoticons.

[hear]

For over a year, right? I read that. I'd like to go back to a non-tampered timeline, thank you.

Perfect. What other type of surprises should I expect?

[latkje]

They don't even know if our missions will succeed. Of course they can't know their outcomes.

[hear]

Because that sounds like a solid strategy. Then why risk altering history at all?

[badnewsboy]

Aside from the anachronistic nature of our situation? The undead, perhaps. Also, we're in space! Perhaps we've descended into some fine piece of Midgardian media.

[hear]

Check, check and check. So basically nothing that makes sense. My guess might have been descending into a state of full-blown psychosis, but even this is too much. Besides I've been on a sane streak and would like to keep it that way.

[ which could be why she's grasping at facts right now, but, meh, details. ]

[latkje]

Because war is risk.

And we're expendable.

[velveteened]

What's wrong with emoticons? ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)

If it actually starts making sense to you, let me know.

[ because she sure had tried to wrap her head around a lot of things when she'd gotten here, only to slowly start feeling like the explanations were more complicated than they were worth. ( of course, she also didn't have lydia's natural genius, so maybe her best friend would be able to make more sense of it ) ]

How are you doing now?

[badnewsboy]

"Makes sense" is always the odd bit out. Nothing quite makes sense until you understand it. Ah! How philosophical of me.

You're not normally on a sane streak? From what I've known of mortals, sane streaks are usually something that's generally among the masses.

SCIENCE

[khajidont]

We don't have to assume about the time traveling thing. It's possible, and most of us have done it by now. I'm talking walking with the dinosaurs levels of time travel.

[ringwizard]

It's only fictional until you've actually done it, I promise. After the 'getting pulled into a different universe' thing, it makes a little more sense, really.

[acclimatized]

It all sounds like a sci-fi film, doesn't it?

[lazyinlove]

you think a really shitty movie with the punk'd guy is something people like a thousand years in the future who stole time travel have seen?

betcha a chocolate bar they haven't

[hear]

I beg to differ, but something tells me they would agree with you. Do we even know what qualifies someone being brought here?

[hear]

Nothing. But if I wanted to exchange cutesy faces, I would have recorded a video.

[latkje]

Accident.

[ while she's still filling in the gaps, lydia has at least already figured out how to lock a conversation in the time she's had to pick apart her tablet. ]

Apparently the laws of physics — or laws of anything — don't apply here. They totally gloss over the details of their "advanced technology" in their records, so whatever. But I'm doing okay now. Is there a way we can move rooms? If I have to stay here, I should at least get a say in my roommate.

[velveteened]

Good point, good point! I doubt these can compare to you at all.

( he's weirdly sincere about it considering he's never seen her before but he's sure she's beautiful okok )

[hear]

Which is why I'm asking. What's not normal is me not understanding something. I don't like it.

Yes, us mortals. And that makes you...?
