"Hello? Hello?? I'm sorry, there's nobody home right now. [ obnoxious peal of laughter: go ]

Ahh, that's right! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you. Right? That's how it goes? Aha, no telemarketers, please!

If you run up my bill, I'll have to ask you to pay the extra costs.

Not to brag

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Feels like an adrenaline rush
Like the coolest thing ever

[and to have somebody believe her, be impressed by her, share her enthusiasm -- it's comforting, in a strange way that she hadn't known she needed.]

It was
Still spent most of my time on earth though
What can I say, I'm a homebody

[ after all he'd seen in his world, in his life, in his travels, a flying spacewoman was the least bizarre of all the things he's beheld until now. ]

how lucky!
you must have been the envy of all travelers far and wide

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

I had some friends who could do it too
But I was the best, naturally
Is it only ships where you're from?

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

for humans, yes, only ships
some amanto could do it id imagine
your world must have been a busy one
flyers everywhere

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Crises everywhere too
Flying makes it easier to get to the next one
Never a dull moment back home

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

[then--]

It's too quiet here

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

anything that isnt 'home' is too quiet

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

whats yours like?

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Kinda like here honestly
But with more big cities
And less interdimensional kidnapping
I lived in new york, I dunno if you had a new york

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

we had edo
i think ive heard of new york
thats one of the american cities isnt it? across the ocean

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Yep that's us
We saw more supervillain activity than probably anywhere else on the map
So we had a lot of hero types

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

maybe the new york of your time is like the edo of mine
a lot of excitement

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

What year did you have
Before you got here

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

by the modern calendar...
1860s?

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Wait really
You're serious
B/c mine was 2013

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

before the amanto came we were pretty primitive in terms of technology compared to where we are now according to history
their colonization of earth jumpstarted everything by a good amount
is the shogunate still going in your time?

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Considering I'm not sure what that is, I'd say no
Sounds like ancient japanese kind of territory though

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

maybe? its current for us
tokugawa shogunate
