THIS IS CRAZY. DOES THIS THING REALLY WORK?

Oh MAN! Does this mean we're on our way to better, newer tech? Will I ever get my PS4 back??

Looks like it might just.

[ a pause and then, ]

"Newer tech" by whose standards?

[ because seriously? this has nothing on federation communication technology and she's still bemoaning the lack of proper medical equipment. she'd like her computer and commbadge back now. ]

[majorlyugh]

by ... uh, lowly earth human standards. .. assuming you're from a more advanced time.

look, i really just wanna know how high to get my hopes that this is the beginning of other tech filtering its way through. i've been without a single video game and trash tv show for MONTHS, and i am gonna lose it.

[ethnobotany]

[ okay, that actually gets her to laugh a little. ]

Is that what a PS4 is?

I was wondering the same thing myself. How high to get my hopes up. We got electricity not long ago and now this. Makes you wonder.

whoops that was way over 140 characters lol

[majorlyugh]

it's a gaming console. a wonderful console.

OH MAN WHAT A MIRACLE, RIGHT?!

/belatedly breaks it into separate texts

[ethnobotany]

I guess we can hope.

I WILL DO BETTER IN FUTURE

[majorlyugh]

you are not nearly as excited at the idea as i am.

things no one is used to: CHARACTER LIMITS

[ethnobotany]

I'm a doctor. I would be more excited about medical technology.

[ a few seconds and then: ]

But I won't say no to good entertainment.

[majorlyugh]

you sound like ravi. now that he's got a percolator, though, there's little he wants.

except for medical stuff.

[ethnobotany]

We're doctors. Wishing for medical equipment is what we do.

[majorlyugh]

you guys are SUCH DWEEBS.

[theluckygirl]

I'd say so. Hopefully, you didn't just jinx things though.

[ Regardless, this is pretty freaking cool. ]

[majorlyugh]

oh ... crap.

i hope i didn't.

don't torch my place down if i did. ):

[theluckygirl]

Oh, it won't be me.

Here's hoping they take it easy on first offenders.

[ No, really, she's laughing. ]

[majorlyugh]

for good measure, and because it TOTALLY WORKS, i definitely just knocked on some wood.

but if i start to smell smoke, i'm knocking on your door!

[theluckygirl]

Smart plan.

Starting fires isn't my thing though. I'm more the type to know all the ways to make someone sick.

[majorlyugh]

see, that's not comforting AT ALL, as surprising as that might seem.

it sounds like i should just steer clear of you. by a lot.

[theluckygirl]

Relax. It's still working so you're fine.

I'm Claire, by the way.

1/2

[majorlyugh]

cool, so now i have a name to go with the threat, and i have a more complete picture of who to definitely NOT piss off at any point in the near or distant future.

[majorlyugh]

oh, yeah.

i'm major.

[theluckygirl]

Hey, for the record? I didn't threaten you. I'm a nurse, not a mafia queen.

1/2

[majorlyugh]

it wasn't a direct threat? but you basically told me you'd go all vizzini on me and poison my wine cup ..

2/2

[majorlyugh]

.. while probably also having already built up an immunity to whatever poison you use.

hopefully it works better for you than it did for him.

[theluckygirl]

[theluckygirl]

Sweet Christmas, this guy has been here a day too long...

You know what, you're right. So you better sleep with one eye open and make sure you have someone to taste all your food and drink.

THIS IS JUST WHO HE IS, CLAIRE

[majorlyugh]

[Haha. Funny thing about eating food ..

Nope, let's not get into it.]

see, that's a direct threat, just like a mafia queen.

duchess? lady? dame?

wait also

[majorlyugh]

thank you for also totally catching the reference.

LOT of folks here don't.

[ithuriels_blood]

You have no idea how happy I am about it too.

I don't know about a PS4 but I'd be happy with access to Netflixs.

[majorlyugh]

OMG NETFLIX YES. i never got around to watching planet earth ii, and it's been BUGGING me.

[ithuriels_blood]

Same. I've only heard good things about it too.

[majorlyugh]

the first one was really cool. i remember watching it and having my mind blown. and i'm not usually a nature guy.

[ithuriels_blood]

well they have some pretty baller shots. I remember Simon putting on an episode that had pink flamingo's.

[majorlyugh]

"baller shots." you sound like a seattleite.

oh, yeah! with then all travelling together in a pack? that was hilarious!

[ithuriels_blood]

Ew, don't say that. I like being a New Yorker, thanks.

YES! You know exactly what I'm talking about then.

[majorlyugh]

WEST COAST BEST COAST!

yeah! i always thought it'd be neat to be a nature videographer, though exhausting.

[3ofswords]

we cld die on an alien planet and u nerds r still worried abt call of duty

[majorlyugh]

priorities, man. priorities.

if we die here, we go back home. but while i'm here, I WANT SOME COD! LEGENDS OF PEGASUS. ANYTHING.

[3ofswords]

i'm pretty sure if you die in the village you die in real life

[3ofswords]

i'm pretty sure of it b/c i have an old journal entry about how they BURIED SOME LADY who got sliced open by a monster

[majorlyugh]

wait, seriously??? i thought you just .. went back home. picked up where you left off.

also where did this lady get sliced/buried? here?

[3ofswords]

somehow, stumbling on old graves in the woods not on my to-do list. p sure she died here.

[3ofswords]

i mean if we knew dying got you a ticket home wouldn't people just do that?

[majorlyugh]

how would anyone know for sure?

unless they somehow get the short straw again and get pulled here.

[3ofswords]

nobody who does remembers; apparently i was here twice and i don't know a thing about it.

probably not something to test.

[majorlyugh]

so .. that leaves open the possibility, right? that .. we just go back to whatever, wherever we were before.

[3ofswords]

whatever makes you feel better, just don't make us hide the sharp objects from you.

[majorlyugh]

oh! no!! no no no i'd never do that. ravi's here, which ... helps.
