Obviously I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll--listen to it. Eventually.

yeah yeah mick came and punched me so
i'm better now

[directed]

[. . .]

I think it perhaps better not to ask.


As to your other questions: no, I don't believe we have seen that particular movie and/or tv show, and yes, I've spoken to some of the new arrivals. Both women in fact, although one was named Peggy Carter and didn't mention anything about being a general or a princess, so I'll assume she's not the one you're asking after.

[shrinkage]

agent carter? i thought she'd been here awhile...

[ weird. maybe a left-and-returned situation. ]

but no. i think snart's going to talk to her for me.
oh god snart's going to talk to her for me.
this is bad.

[directed]

The one I met only just arrived, or rearrived if that's the case. She was rather confused when she stepped out of my closet.

[Because that's a thing that happens sometimes.]

Better or worse than you talking to her for yourself in your current state?

[shrinkage]

please tell me you didn't shoot her?

fair point. as much as i want to talk to her she's already got enough on her plate right now, you know?

[directed]

Give me some credit, Dr. Palmer. I gave her ample opportunity to explain herself.

[At gunpoint.]

Certainly. I take it she has something to do with that Star Wars thing you were on about?

[shrinkage]

i'm just saying you have a better survival instinct than me, that's all!

[ ttly innocent! ]

i just tried to type out exactly who she is and what she means to pop culture and my device started crying

[directed]

Fortunately I also know how to exercise some restraint.

And unfortunately for your device and it's tears, we both know that I'm not the most well-versed when it comes to the pop culture of the early twenty-first century.

But I do gather that you're something of a fan.

[shrinkage]

some is an understatement, rip.

and in the interest of full transparency i'm also having a hard time telling you without telling you about your own future

[directed]

Perhaps, but it also means I can carry on a rational conversation with this Princess or General Leia you're so hyped over.

[So there.]

You're serious, aren't you? [Bloody hell. Unseen, Rip's frowning. It's a shock, I know.] I was led to believe that Star Wars as it exists in our world was entirely fictional. Unless you're trying to avoid confirming that I have seen it by the time you're drawn from. If so, I appreciate the effort, but I think knowing that detail won't put the timeline at risk.

[shrinkage]

[ ray can feel those grumpwaves through the walls ok ]

oh yeah totally fictional!

i think we both know how not good i am at moderation. it's safer for me to just not talk about any of it, you know?

[directed]

[The dourness is strong with this one.]

On the whole? I have to agree.

[No spoilers then. Just a future that's somehow even stranger than Rip might have already suspected.]
