"Don't eat other citizens," - someone really thinks it's necessary to give that direction? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's definitely good to not eat other people, I would just think that it wouldn't be the best idea to bring people that might eat the other citizens. It wouldn't really be cannibalism though, right? Because if you brought someone from another planet that wasn't a human, but ate humans, then....

[Billy kind of trails off as he contemplates this - and then the fact that wow the first thing he's posting to the notwork is discussing the technical terminology of cannibalism when it comes to alien races. Awkward.]

Anyway, hi. I'm Billy. I was kind of in the middle of something back home but I'm guessing that's not really going to do anything for me in terms of getting back there, so it's probably better just to get into this whole network....thing.

Oh, yeah, one last question - so "Stark Technologies" communicator, right? That wouldn't happen to be Stark as in Tony Stark, would it?

[I mean, hey, there are other Starks in other worlds. GRRM is particularly fond of killing them.]

Comments

[centurybaby]

Comes with cosmic powers and a spaceship, so whatever, I guess.

[tesselate]

That's cool.

[centurybaby]

Yeah. It's alright.

So. Billy. What do you do?

[tesselate]

Magic. Sometimes.

[nbd. except for where it is and he just downplays it entirely.]

[centurybaby]

I know a guy that does magic. He's almost as good as I am.

You any good?

[tesselate]

Oh yeah? Who?

Yeah, I am. I get the "unrefined" comment a lot, but...

[centurybaby]

The Doctor. He's like a fucking shaman of the earth or something. Who fucking knows.

"Unrefined" happens when you're fucking powerful. So, how good's good then?

[tesselate]

The Doctor? Who?

Like, what, on a scale from 1 to 10?

[centurybaby]

You watch way too much TV, B.

Sure, 1 to 10 works. Or major suck to capable of breaking the fucking universe.

[tesselate]

Maybe a little.

[hopefully there are premium channels here because he needs to see Game of Thrones, man.]

Then, uh, 10, I guess.

[centurybaby]

Fun.

We're either gonna be best fucking friends or worst fucking enemies.

[tesselate]

Well as long as we just...don't break the universe together, that's probably good, right?

[centurybaby]

No guarantees.

[tesselate]

That's reassuring.

[centurybaby]

Oh, sorry. Was I supposed to fucking reassure you?

[tesselate]

I don't see any particular reason we shouldn't get along just become we're both magic users.

[centurybaby]

I'm not a magic user. I don't alter reality that way.

[tesselate]

How does it work, then? The century thing?

[centurybaby]

Some quantum bullshit. Who knows. I think about stuff and it happens.

[tesselate]

That can be dangerous.

[centurybaby]

So what? I'm fucking dangerous. I bet you are too.

[tesselate]

Sometimes.

[centurybaby]

It's not a bad thing.

[tesselate]

I don't know about that.

[centurybaby]

It's not bad. It just is, Billy. So you might as well fucking use it.
