[Oh shit, this thing has video. He's figured out how to work it.

He's seen other people talking on this, so he's figured out its purpose. Of course, it's a bit more advanced than what he has in 1989.

The man is young but incredibly well-built. We're talking grade-a musclecake here. He doesn't seem happy.] They said we're supposed to fight for justice here.

But if it's 2014, and they took us from the middle of something in the past, and people died as a result...

...what kind of justice is that?

Everyone says that the stuff that's going on back home is put on hold while you're here.

Re: video

[standsproud]

[The fuck?]

...explain what you mean. That's not possible.

[sniptuck]

I don't know anything about it. But people here say it's been proven.

Took you from the past? I've heard the whole taking people from other worlds spiel, but this is a new one.

Re: video

1989. I was on my way to Egypt. Now it's 25 years in the future.

not here

[diociopath]

[NOPE.

GOODBYE.

NO WAY IN HELL IS HE RESPONDING. Joseph might give him away eventually but for now he has the element of hiding like a coward surprise and that's reassuring enough for him.

Maybe he can just move to Egypt in this world too or something.]

[Are you a WIMP, DIO????]

[purgation]

That is an astute question, though it remains one that is not simply answered. As it would appear you were already informed...the happenings of our home worlds are frozen in time while we exist here. Of course, there is also no precise way to validate that claim.

That's impossible to believe. Who could cause time to stand still for so long?

[theoryandcalculation]

You're... from the past?

[He thinks that over a minute, then shakes his furiously.] No! I've been forced to admit that these people can alter biology somehow, but I'm drawing the line of scientific improbabilities at time travel!

[...well at least he admits that it's only improbable.]

Tch. Stop running your mouth. An hour ago, I was in the year 1989. Do you have another explanation?

[granddevil]

You assume this is your world.

Re: [Video]

[standsproud]

What suggests that it's otherwise except a quarter century in the future?

[abadidea]

[When Isaac responds, his look is almost apologetic.]

Did they really word it that way?

Re: ( video )

[standsproud]

About fighting for justice?

What else is a so-called "hero" supposed to do?

[video]

[glassinine]

Do you intend, then, to fight for "justice"?

Re: [video]

[standsproud]

Whose justice?

[foreshadower]

It's hardly justice, but this place isn't the place to speak of justice.

Re: Video

[standsproud]

Who would trust someone that kidnapped them to be just?

[heralding]

You are hardly the only one to have left behind something important. But a comrade and I are from different points. I know of his resolved future, and he is only left to worry about it still.

[She hopes that helps, but she has a feeling it doesn't. It's hard to detach yourself from that, and she has a feeling she'd be in the same boat otherwise.]

As for justice, they haven't bothered to put it that way. Thankfully.

Re: video.

[standsproud]

Doesn't being here to fight their battles imply they think their battles are just?

[trickstar]

[Huh. This guy looks a little familiar...? But Joseph knows he's never seen him before, so he must be just having deja vu.]

I have that same problem too, but since the world isn't totally overrun with zombies, I think time really does stand still.

Re: video;

[standsproud]

[Yeah. Weird sense of familiarity here.]

...zombies, really? Tch, what a pain.

video.

[ex_question191]

Maybe they'll uh... put you back?

Re: video.

[standsproud]

Somehow I don't think I can just "ask nicely."
