You all ever get into some kind of reading rut, where every plot and character seems to blend into each other? I guess it's easier to do when books are your job here.

[Clearly, someone's bored.]

So that being the case: what are you favorite books, what are they about and why do you like them? Can be anything from your own world too, I don't care much.

Astrophysicist, huh? Sounds new to me. An unstoppable quest for knowledge, however, I've heard that more than once.

Shit, I think I might've heard about the multiverse somewhere else here too. Superboy, maybe?

[Not that she expects some stranger to know who that is.]

I think there have been people like that since there were first people. But I study how the universe works.

Oh! You mean Kon! Yeah, he's familiar with that. A lot of us experienced such things before coming here.

[Get to know enough people and everyone can be connected, somehow. Like Kevin Bacon.]

Well shit, if you put it that way, I guess figuring out science vs. magic is simple in comparison.

Yeah, that kid. If you're friends, I'll take that as a good sign on your behalf.

[bifroster]

Only to an extent. There is a point where technology gets so advanced it's pretty much 'magic'. That's the tough part.

Thanks! How did you and Kon meet? From when you arrived here?

[thecacophony]

On that point, you're going to have to prove it with this research of yours.

Yeah, it wasn't long after. We were both flying, and I offered to help out with his superhero gig. Not the worst idea—that kid has a serious fucking work ethic and can use the help sometimes. What about you two?

[bifroster]

Well, I think I've gotten the start of something. One report shouldn't be the end of the research of any question.

Oh, so you helped him! Thanks! You are absolutely right, he does kind of take on a lot. I responded to one of his first posts when he initially came and we just became friends over things like movies and science.
