Right, so here's the deal. July 31^st is either my 211^th birthday or my 33^rd- give or take 35 years. Either way, I need ideas on what I'm doing because as fun as doing a bar crawl is, the last time I did that I ended up at a monastery in Spain. I'd go into the story, but really it's a very, very long story. So, what is it that you all do in the future do for your birthday?

Regardless, whatever I choose to do, you're all invited. It's no fun celebrating your birthday in the future.

Plus, while I'm here I would like the following things for my birthday:

➝ A lion
➝ A trip to Ireland or India
➝ Apparently you all have perfected the submarine? Yes, I would like that.
➝ And one of those contraptions that let you fly. What's it called, an aeroplane?
➝ Seriously, I would really like a lion.

What, y'think it swims?

[ioudas]

.... No.

Maybe.


Yes. I thought it swam.

[ex_engineers208]

Y'wanna own a sub.

But y'don't even get it.

[ioudas]

You're making this out to be a bad thing, Madison.

[ex_engineers208]

It's kinda a bad thing.

And here I was, gonna say I could maybe get you somethin' or other in the near future.

[ioudas]

Don't you get my hopes up only to destroy them.

[ex_engineers208]

I never said I considered teachin' you how to drive one.

[ioudas]

How hard can it be? Boat goes up, boat goes down, pressure changes, throttle - whatever.

[ex_engineers208]

Oh, sure. When y'see a good more'n a hundred buttons, levers, valves a-and gauges on the dashboard...

That'll be a joy.

[ioudas]

Stop being pessimistic, it will be an absolute joy.

[ex_engineers208]

If it would happen, it'd be beyond stressful. Just sayin'.

[ioudas]

You keep spelling "amazing" wrong.

[ex_engineers208]

[ stares. ]

Wh-what, was I typ―oh. I'm dead serious, alright?

[ioudas]

I've been in worse situations.

[ex_engineers208]

It's not that the situation'll be bad, it'll be hard.

Them usually need an awful lot a' trainin'.

[ioudas]

One of my powers here is that I actually learn very quickly. This, I plan to take full advantage of.

[ex_engineers208]

A-and it means y'can learn well? Like, not accidentally screw up and drown yerself?

[ioudas]

We'll know in the execution.

[ex_engineers208]

Y'seem awful certain it's happenin'.

[ioudas]

What can I say? I'm the sort of person who gets what they want.

[ex_engineers208]

Y'are?

So, are y'askin' me?

[ioudas]

Yes Madison, will you come ride my submarine with me and explore whole new worlds.

[ex_engineers208]

I thought y'were gonna ask again for one.

[ioudas]

Well, yeah. I thought that was a given.

[ex_engineers208]
