I was here for about a week and then I went home for what seemed like ten minutes but when I return it's been two weeks?
What the hell is up with that? Does this happen often? Is the transporter trying to give me dimensional whiplash?

I hope my room is untouched.

From the looks of it, they recycle rooms pretty often.

Not often, but it's been known to happen. As for why, I don't think we'll ever know. It's probably faulty.

[bloodfreak]

I didn't so much mean by the government but by my roommates, seeing as I'm still in the same house.

[bloodfreak]

Good to know it's not just me. As for it being faulty, they should really have someone look at that.

I haven't heard of that happening before. What the hell. Are you okay?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Hello again.

[bloodfreak]

Apparently others have and it's relatively normal. I'm fine, just completely lost because I'm missing roughly two weeks here.

[bloodfreak]

Hello, Doctor. I trust you're much better situation than before.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Indeed, I am. I can't thank you enough for your timely rescue. And speaking of timeliness, it appears a welcome back is in order.

[bloodfreak]

You don't need to thank me anymore than you already have. [By having been his juice box.]

Thanks. It's a bit odd being jerked around like I have.
Oh, I never did ask. What are you a doctor of?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Psychiatry. Abnormal psychiatry, specifically, though I've been managing trauma more in this location.

[Yes, he appreciates the irony, in context.]

[bloodfreak]

I see. Sounds like it could be interesting work.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I enjoy it immensely. Might I inquire what it is that you do? Since we're already so cordial.

[bloodfreak]

Not anything as exciting. I just repair computers and stuff. I like building robots in my spare time along most of them seem to end up catching fire.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I could tell you were good with your hands. You didn't let me tumble down, I mean.

[bloodfreak]

And here I almost excited to be flirted with.
But I am good with my hands, never had any complaints. :)

[Chilton takes a few moments to respond -- how flustering! -- as he reads too deeply into the text. He was, of course, rather fond of Cyril for saving his life, and that gratitude mingled with the mystery of his own behavior (fainting, imagine!).]

Oh, no, I would not doubt that, in any regard.

[He squints at the message, after sending, wondering if it sounded awkward. Perhaps clarification was necessary.]

I imagine you would rate with "Sensing" under any Myers-Briggs type test.

[Yes that is much less awkward.]

[bloodfreak]

I've never taken those tests so I wouldn't know.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Do they exist, where you're from? Sometimes psychiatry does not exist in the occasional alternate universe. Much to my despair.

[bloodfreak]

Yeah. I think I've read something that referenced them.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm relieved. But I wonder why you've never been exposed to the test, or any of its progeny versions, yourself? They're rather prolific.

[bloodfreak]

Probably has to do with my home town being stuck in the eighties and relatively cut off from the rest of the world. We didn't even get any internet or cell phones until 2000. [And most people do those tests online unless they visit a psychologist, which Cy has never done.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Ah. Time difference. I was much younger then.

correction, his hometown is kind of stuck in the 70s

[bloodfreak]

It's 2023 where I'm from. Everyone can just blame the witches for fucking us over on progression.

[corviform]

They have a whole team of scientists.

[ Either they suck or something else is at play here. ]
