Hey, so...if I wanted to chat theories about this place and the who-what-how-why-when's of it all, who would be the best one to go to?
[She thinks it's him, personally. They'd touched on some theory stuff back when she first showed up and she'd been meaning to follow up with him about it. But opening up with something sounding like she was accusing him of being a conspiracy theorist didn't seem like the best plan, so she went a slightly different route.]
not to brag or anything but probably me even tho i'm not sure that's actually bragging just means i've been here a depressingly long time without finding a way out
you could also talk to harry but he's a bit um well did you have that grumpy cat meme, in your universe?
hey i've met people here from worlds that don't have the internet at all. or electricity or indoor plumbing for that matter. we're talking full tolkien. i do. in fact he is such a grumpy cat that i named my actual cat, who has a tendency towards grumpiness herself, after him.
ok but like how grumpy do you mean grumbles if you try to leave ten minutes early grumpy or throws things when he gets in a bad mood like a damn four year old grumpy? cuz harry's definitely the latter.
that's...terrifying. and also interesting at the same time. So we're basically displaced across space and time, relatively equally in this here clock, huh? omg that's beautiful.
oh Artie's def thrown things before and he also yells a lot. Like goes Uncle Vernon reddish-purple he yells so much his bark is worse than his bite usually tho
it's not exactly equal. statistically, there's more people from late 20th and early 21st century worlds called Earth, with grape soda and memes and the whole shebang. but there are outliers from the 23rd century and worlds with dragons so you know. the only real rule is expect the unexpected.
harry doesn't do the purple thing but he is not above name calling. his bark's worse than his bite, too. mostly. unless you're messing with his daughter in which case say ur prayers
how about this we can do a quid pro quo thing i answer your questions about the clock and you can tell me about stuff from your world like in silence of the lambs except 1000% less creepy, promise
I've heard that there are people from not-Earth here. Tyler mentioned that to me before. I'm kinda dying to talk to said people but I don't really know how to go about that without coming off creepy and weird and like I'm interviewing someone for an article titled "Space: What Else is Out There?"
Yikes. Don't mess with the Papa Bear, don't people know that's just a basic rule?!
....you're totally sure nothing that happens here, changes anything back home? Cause, like, it's an actual rule. I'm literally not supposed to talk about it. But if it really doesn't matter... Holy-- you could come up with a better reference than that! Don't pull out the creepy stuff til I know you like that, bro.
i don't know if there is a right way. sometimes you've just gotta lean in to the weirdness. drinking games are always an option. unless you're not 21. in which case they're still an option because who's going to card you we're in a weird pocket dimension with no laws or money or logic
you'd think, but supervillains can be pretty stupid when it comes to following rules
i'm not totally sure about anything in this place. but i'm a solid 95% on this one. i was here for months, and when i got returned home, i didn't remember any of it.
[ He'd vibed a few things, here and there, but she doesn't need to know that. ]
besides, i'm not from your universe anyway so if you tell me stuff, and we both get sent back home, still doesn't matter. so that's a no on calling you 'clarice'? cut me some slack i mean what other movie has an iconic quid pro quo scene? i mean, honestly. i'm open to suggestions here.
Probably. I'm used to weird. This is just a v. v. diff weird for me. Okay, one: I'm legal, no worries. But also: Plz. Like you didn't do any under-age drinking.
Oh, no. Did they villain speech at you? I HATE IT when they do that!
That's so creepy...you just forget everything in a blink like that. I guess that's true.
N O P E. That'd be weird. Don't do that. ...OKAY FINE. You're right. But STILL!
it's a pretty different weird for me too i mean i already told you i'm down with the multiverse but this place has no respect for the laws of physics and re: the underage drinking are you kidding? i had a fake id before you were even born. okay maybe not that long. but my boyfriend's a detective i gotta at least pretend to be responsible now.
when has a villain ever, EVER passed up an opportunity for a speech? they're obsessed.
i'm working on finding us a way out, that we control, so we can get home memories and all. but like i said even if i manage that, not like it's gonna matter what you tell me about your world, since i'm going back to central city anyway.
Okay but doesn't the clock know physics are important? That are rules to the world, okay. :| You can't possibly be that much older than me. Gasp! Does he know your dirty secret from your dumb teen years? ....btdubs, that's totally sarcasm, we don't really know each other that well, idk if you can tell my intent in texts yet?
It's the WORST!
Are you now? That's interesting. Any luck so far? on, like, anything related to that?
hooow about we get some coffee and go for a walk or something because this is seriously gonna get waaaay too involved for me to bother typing if we're really getting down and dirty with the details.
the clock has no respect for science or our sanity depends on how you define 'much older'. i'm 26? he does know as a matter of fact. and worse ones. anyway don't worry text sarcasm is tricky even for close friends it's cool dude
some luck. we've built a device that can detect all the different universes people are from, based on the frequency they are vibrating at. and that's a start - if we manage to break out of here the best way to do it will be opening breaches leading from here to everyone's universes. it's just how we're gonna get those breaches open that we're struggling with right now. we being harry and me, obvs
