[Why hello there folks, I hope you like staring at the backs of people's heads because THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. It takes this little red mech a few seconds to realize that there's SOMETHING hovering behind him. he does this little half turn, lets out a SUPER MANLY (no) yelp and swats the thing out of the air, ending the recording.

But that's not all, folks. The camera blips on and off a few more times, catching Knock Out in various levels of annoyance, usually in the middle of either swearing or trying to shoo the thing away. Oh god little drone why are you here.

Finally Knock Out gives up and seems to have just accepted that he's made a new "friend". He looks exasperated as all hell when the little bugger starts recording him one last time.]

Fine, since this little drone seems hell bent on stalking me and recording it, I figured I might as well try to use this to my advantage. So, where am I and how do I leave? I was kind of in the middle of something.

[Knock Out pauses and glances slightly off camera, presumable at the drone itself.]

There, happy now? I swear, if someone come out here to blow me up because of you, I'm going to be very annoyed.

Oh yes, Earth had a rather charming concept of science fiction. I suppose something like that was to be expected of a race that has yet to even colonize their moon. Though to Earth's credit, they are advancing rather quickly for an organic race.

Speaking of charming science fiction, this only ever came up 'cause I was surprised to find Breakdown familiar with The Fly and The Thing.

[There's a soft little snort from Sam, but she takes the moon dig with good grace---and makes a mental note to ask Hiro what's happening in space by 2030. It better be good, since flying cars are still not a thing.]

T'save time, not that you need to; we've already got the jokes about lifespans and height out of the way... but credit where credit is due is, of course, appreciated.

I made sure that Breakdown was well versed in the classics.

[One would think that by 2015 humans would already have hover boards and self lacing shoes, but hey.]

You did well; I'd mentioned the directors first, before I'd thought about it, and his reaction kicked off the conversation.

[but hey indeed she's from 2014 and for all anybody knows Hiro's Earth had both by then because it seems to be the fun one]

Aw, I'm so proud of him! He paid closer attention to my silly hobbies than I'd realized.

[lets go take over that earth and live there]

Must've.

[yes! wait, no; her roommate is a superhero on that Earth so taking it over would be problematic and we are moving on]

So, you feeling a bit better grounded?

Kind of. A little bit. I think.

That's better than a definite 'no,' so here's to cinema.

Fair enough. I already feel like we need to plan a movie night.

Actually, I've got one in the works.

You know, I think you're my new favorite.

[That gets a little self-satisfied grin.]

Already? And I didn't even get to telling you it's Tremors.

Oh, I am so on board. Just the first one?

Fraid so; the selection is a little lacking, since stuff gets dropped here the same way people do. We might luck out enough to get sequels sooner or later, and although I'll keep my fingers crossed, I'm wary of hoping too hard...

...even if Aftershocks would be awesome.

Not to change the subject, but does everything really just happen at random like that?

Not everything. Some stuff seems to tie to certain triggers---like special days---but a lot is apparently at random.

Well that's inconvenient. How do you plan for anything?

First I muster all the optimism I am able, and then I admit it's going to be improvising or resigning myself to rain checks.

[He just nods like that was the best answer ever. Hey, can't win 'em all.]

Well, I better improve my 'winging it' skills a bit, then.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

[Unless you're another fake, in which case you better kiss your bumper goodbye before Breakdown finds out.]

I mean, I've managed. And you've got the advantage of a familiar face.

[NO I'M A REAL BOY]

mmn, yes. I suppose that's a plus. Strange as it all is, anyway.

Chin up! I've yet to see Rod Serling.

Though it would be kind of cool if he were here.

Well all the same, this place doesn't exactly scream, Twilight Zone. I rather hope it stays that way, it's strange enough on it's own.

...Parts of it do. Upside? We seem to be nowhere near Time Enough At Last. People present are pretty decent.

As long as people are decent I think I can deal with this.
