I've been around here for who only knows how long and I'm still finding out new things.

Right now, I'm looking for a show of hands. Ben-the-lawyer is under the impression that vampires and werewolves are pretty much old hat. Now, I've lived through Magog attacks and Nietzschean raids, but I've never met anything claiming to turn into a fuzzy thing when the moon shines right. Besides, what do you do if you're caught off planet? Whoops, the blue moon threw off my month, better luck next time?

That's not to say I don't believe him, some of you are weird enough that I'm pretty sure I'd believe someone who showed up claiming to be the King himself at this point. I'm just saying, it all sounds really out there.

Other planets? Now that's out there.

Why else would we have spaceships?

[mansons.livejournal.com]

Sure, in Florida or Houston, or something.

Huh? [He's horribly intelligent, you know.]

[mansons.livejournal.com]

... NASA?

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

Right. Timeline differences. I don't know how I keep forgetting. No, I'm talking about actual spaceships. Big, bad, and beautiful. And did I mention big? NASA's not exactly up to speed yet.

Timeline differences? ... Oh, so you're from the future? Right. [Here, have an attempt to cover up a very skeptical look.]

Sure am! You ever seen a 'port before? [craning his head to the side and tapping on it]

[She looks at it, and then winces and looks away.] Whoa, whoa! Wow, how did-... that had to hurt! What is it?

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

Dataport, datajack, whatever word you want to use. Lets me hook up to computer systems directly. It's really useful when you're short on time.

[mansons.livejournal.com]

Whoa. That's actually kinda cool... I've never seen anything like that!

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

It's a little past NASA — no offense. I mean, it's still a pretty new thing back home, too.

[She stares, pretty impressed and interested for a while... but then she folds her arms and gives him a skeptical look.]

Alright, then... prove it. How do I know that's not some sort of professionally done... accessory... thing that doesn't really work?
