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...

Oh.

[the...rocks. that type.


ok.

well.

he also met a dragon today so he better not assume this is a lie.]

I guess it would be a lot different for a gem. Sorry...

[oceanthief]

It's fine. The earth in my own universe was pretty much the same.

[siriusly]

Is that a good or a bad thing?

[oceanthief]

[...]




It's both.

[siriusly]

So there's some good for you too?

[oceanthief]

Not much right now. But there were a couple nice things before.

[and, she guesses, maybe she should try and say something nice about the present? Lapis wracks her brain...]



There are still some good shows on, though.

[siriusly]

Like what?

[oceanthief]

La Malquerida is back after its break now.

[...is she watching telenovelas? you bet she is.]

[siriusly]

I don't watch TV here, so I'll take your word for it.

[oceanthief]

Then why bother asking?

[siriusly]

Because if I start, I at least have one recommendation...

[oceanthief]

You could always just look for yourself; that's how I found all of the ones I watch.

[siriusly]

Sure, but at least there's one I've heard of now.

[oceanthief]

But you just said that you'd never heard of it before.

[LAPIS NOT THAT LITERALLY]

[siriusly]

Heard of it because you just TOLD me of it though, that's what I mean!

[oceanthief]

I'm not sure if that really counts.

[siriusly]

Why not?
If I turn on a TV and see it I'll remember because you mentioned it first!

[oceanthief]

But you don't know anything about me.

[how can he just trust that they're going to share the same taste in earth television???]

[siriusly]

I know that you're really old and immortal and that means there's got to be SOMETHING interesting about it if it keeps you watching.

[oceanthief]

...you're not either of those things, though.

[siriusly]

So? I can like the same things as other people sometimes!

[oceanthief]

Sure, but shouldn't they be sort of similar to you for that to happen?

[siriusly]

I don't know. I didn't know I liked green tea soda until some old gramps gave me some, and he and I weren't anything alike since I was like six when that happened...

[oceanthief]

...I thought tea and soda were tow different things.

[siriusly]

They are, but there's a soda that tastes LIKE green tea. And it's really good! Not enough people give it a chance.
