Technology's archaic.

[ Well, that's one way to introduce oneself. Insult the technology. Like an asshole. ]

Year you're from? [ Then, as an afterthought: ] Mine's 2547.

[ Guess what, buddy? Maine's got the Best News Ever: ]

Found soap.

[ BEST. NEWS. EVER. ]

The year each of us comes from seems rather arbitrary given the theory that our homes may very well exist in entirely separate universes.

[bloodbathing]

[ For a moment, Maine just sort of stares at that username. He hasn't used the language of his childhood in ... shit, must be decade now. But he's pretty fucking sure that means "aloft" in Icelandic.

Why the hell is someone calling themselves aloft? ]

Maybe. Reference point.

[ ... Yeah, this is gonna bug the shit out of him: ]

"Aloft"?

The year 1257 by the Christian calendar.

[bloodbathing]

Old.

[ WOW MAINE. RUDE????

After that initial comment: ]

Tech here's advanced?

[ From this man's point of view, he means. ]

2079. But I don't really recognise the same history that others have had, so they do not seem to line up. Some people had alien invasions, we had robots.

[bloodbathing]

[ At first, that username startles Maine. It's the "ö" that's to blame. He sees it infrequently enough that he thinks of another language — but he doesn't know that word. ]

Robot invasion?

un: reva

[vidal]

[ Finally, more high-tech people. ]

2185. Or -- 2819, depending on how you count it.

[bloodbathing]

[ Heck yeah high-tech! ]

Big difference.

[ Between those dates, he means. ]

un: unrecovered

[notyourrookie]

You did?

That's amazing. I could really use a shower.

[ Look at that fancy username that Maine ... totally doesn't get. SO FANCY. ]

Shampoo, too.

[ Plus a bunch of other stuff, but shampoo seems most relevant. (Why the hell would they need four liters of body lotion?) ]

Obviously.

[This "technology" is an affront to technology. Specifically, to him.]

2038. How are your history skills?

[bloodbathing]

Shitty.

[ Well. At least he's honest? ]

Know wars. Weapons.

[enterprisingheart]

2373, as of when I first arrived here. But I've spent more than year in the village, since.

[bloodbathing]

[ 2373... Maine tries to remember any significant events around that time, but none come to mind. He's no historian; if it doesn't have something to do with war, he probably doesn't know about it.

Instead, he turns his attention to the latter half of the message. ]

Long time.

1198 by the gregorian calendar

archaic is a matter of perspective anyway

[bloodbathing]

[ And here Maine thought that Altaïr was old. Granted, sixty years or so isn't significant when dealing with a gap of over a thousand years, but still. ]

Ancient.

[theyellowbird]

2018. It is archaic. Could still be worse.

[bloodbathing]

[ 2018...? That's only one year off from what someone else told him. Which is probably significant — but Maine's not sure what to do with the information yet.

He's really not an intel guy. ]

How?

[ The space marine is trying to picture a place more low-tech than this, and he's failing. ]

Doubt the dating where I'm from would mean anything to anyone else.

[bloodbathing]

Weird symbols?

[ Because if it includes anything like "[ν]–εуλ", Maine won't have the faintest idea. ]

[moderndayassassin]

2012. Wow we have a lot of future people here, damn.

[bloodbathing]

[ Funny thing is, Maine was thinking just the opposite: ]

Lot of 2000s.
