It's weird to think that maybe this Earth could turn out like the one from my universe. Or timeline. Or however it works...
(I'm not really smart about all this, I'm sorry...)

But there's a lot that's similar. Even on the planet I lived on, and all the ones in the galaxy, we all use the same clock system, even though some days are longer or shorter depending on which planet you landed on. Same 24 hour clock. And this Earth uses one, too. And there's baseball and hovercars and the moon landing was about the same time (I think)...

So I wonder how long it will take for this Earth to leave the planet, if it will. Or maybe it won't because it won't make the same mistakes the Earth in my history did. Or maybe they WILL but they'll decide to do something differently. Maybe because people like us are here it's already changed how things will go. Maybe because I'm here the railways from my world can show, and maybe because someone else is here, something from their history will happen? IS that already happening?

It's also weird that I can think about all this without trying when I'm TRYING to study something else...

it's fine. no really, i heal up pretty well as long as i get a few hours of sleep in. no scars, no problem.

plus i'm pretty sure the butterflies going crazy was an accident if only because nobody would incite that kind of bullshit on purpose.

If you're human then you don't have enough time to build up much of anything.

[siriusly]

I don't know...That's not the first time bug-themed craziness caught fire across a city.
I'm glad it seemed to get snuffed pretty fast, though.

[siriusly]

That's bleak...
I don't know if I can change your mind on that, even if I tried. I hope someone can, though. You don't sound very happy.

[pale_blue_arrow]

never assume malice where stupidity would be an equally valid explanation.

everyone split and the people with useful powers got into fights with the things. got stomped out pretty quickly, all things considered. definitely coulda been worse.

[siriusly]

Haha that's a good way of putting it...
Well I'm relieved. Things could've gone way worse than they did.

[oceanthief]

It doesn't really matter. What I feel isn't going to change the ways things are.

[pale_blue_arrow]

don't take this the wrong way but i'm glad you weren't there. someone would've hit you for sure and i don't know if i could've gotten you out alright. turns out i'm not great at that aspect of superhero-ism considering i barely hauled anybody out. i need a class on this stuff or something.

[siriusly]

Maybe not but...I hope you can find something worthwhile for you here. I mean if you didn't already, I'm just guessing from the way this all reads. And I'm not really the smartest when it comes to that anyway.

[siriusly]

Haha well I appreciate that I guess...But I'd have rather been there than you, just based on my past experience. Licks aside, I'm at least trained for disasters.
But I'm glad you were there to help too. It means it was just a little bit less dangerous for those barely anybodys you did help right?

[oceanthief]

It's not worth the effort of looking; nothing here lasts long enough.

[pale_blue_arrow]

you're sweet as sugar, you know that? but i'd hate to think of you getting trampled by that crowd. people were acting crazy, and, well, i kinda went through a similar riotous place once back home.

i definitely need to learn not to suck so much at my power, though. basically i just threw butterflies into each other to give everybody more time to run.

[siriusly]

Well...I hope you find something that changes your mind. It won't be any fun for you otherwise.

[siriusly]

Sounds like you're going to need to find someone to train with, huh. What kind of power you working with besides healing?

[pale_blue_arrow]

just some super strength. not a ton, though. enough to be mildly useful.

[oceanthief]

It's not like any of us are here to have fun.

[siriusly]

Something that lots of other people have experience with, probably. I could ask around some people I know to see if there's anybody who does training if you like. I bet Jacob or Kaidan would know.

[siriusly]

Sure, we didn't choose to be here. But we have some say in how we deal with it...in that way, it is what you make of it. To as much of a degree as you can, you know?

[pale_blue_arrow]

i dunno. i'm not sure if this isn't something i can't figure out on my own. but i'll keep that in mind. thnks.

[oceanthief]

I know how important it is to build a prison you can live with. But it's stupid to try and forget that the bars aren't there in the first place.

[siriusly]

Sure. I mean who knows when...giant caterpillars or something come to town.

[pale_blue_arrow]

so long as it's not a giant flood, i'm good. aquaphobia is a bitch.

[siriusly]

That's fair.

[siriusly]

[nnnnnnoted...]

If it makes you feel any better, I never learned to swim. Not a lot of water back on Tobito.

[pale_blue_arrow]

never had a chance to learn. california is a series of deserts punctuated by towns. but if there IS a flood here, i'll be useless in any rescue efforts...
