I12DT: What The Hell Universe?

by **John Hino** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 3:18 pm

Still entirely too befuddled by recent revelations, John made his way to a table without regard to dietary restraint or anyone else around him. He was completely lost in a fugue usually reserved for people who just discovered that their dog could talk... but had nothing to say but crude insults in a hard to decipher English dialect. Or that they just heard a politician tell the entire unvarnished truth. What I'm saying is that somewhere underground a snowball is melting, and it's shaped like John's brain.

Speaking of unnatural things...

"What's up, lizardman?" Trini asked, sitting down. Hatless.

by **John Hino** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 7:05 pm

John looked at her. "Hrm? Oh... hey... Raven... right?" he asked, unsure and obviously distracted.

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 2:45 pm

"Trini, actually. What's up?"

by **John Hino** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 2:51 pm

"I just got a surprise lesson on my insane family history," he answered with an attempted rueful chuckle that quickly became a sigh.

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 2:57 pm

"Oh, come now, it can't be that bad."

"My dad and I were given a message from one of my ancestors by way of a magical phantom lantern... on VHS because magic is just annoying like that... don't ask how because I don't fucking know..."

"'I pissed of a demon that probably wants nothing better than to eat you out of spite. Surprise!'"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:12 pm

"...Magical phantom lantern?"

by **John Hino** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:23 pm

"A chochinobake.... I looked it up after Asters told me.

"Japanese lore is weird."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:49 pm

"Not when you view it in a larger hist....

..um...I mean yes. Strange, weird things."

by **John Hino** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 4:00 pm

"Yes yes, I'm sure there's a fascinating history behind it," he answered with a little sarcasm before sighing, "I never paid much attention to magic when not fighting some mystical bad guy... let alone Japanese magic... hard to ignore when it supposedly want to eat you though."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 4:08 pm

"It's actually a fascinating subject, intertwined with socio-cultural norms and religious beli...'

I mean, yeah, it can be boring sometimes."

by **John Hino** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 6:48 pm

"Computers and business are my things, not the sociology of theology and how it relates to ectoplasmic entities."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 8:53 pm

"So, what are you going to do?"

by **John Hino** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 9:33 am

John groaned. Here he was blabbing potentially harmful information to the first person he saw.

"First? Ask you to keep quiet about this for now. Second? Find out if there's still anyone out there to keep this grudge going over two hundred years later... and I know just who to ask."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 12:23 pm

"Who?"

by **John Hino** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 1:41 pm

"Professor Weaver, if something's coming her powers might see it."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 2:21 pm

"...Oh," she said, her face dropping. "Well, best of luck with that..."

by **John Hino** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 2:37 pm

"Something wrong?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 3:09 pm

"I've just found Weaver...less than helpful."

by **John Hino** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 3:13 pm

"If she isn't helpful then I'll try Victoria."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 8:15 pm

"Oh. Well, best of luck with that."

by **John Hino** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 9:00 pm

"Not a fan of her either I take it?" he asked.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 10:15 pm

"Is anyone?"

by **John Hino** » Sun Sep 22, 2013 9:56 am

"I'll admit she makes herself very difficult to like."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 1:14 am

"Well, I'm afraid....if it's what you have to do, you'll have to suck it up."

by **John Hino** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:28 am

He laughed. "Yeah. I'm told I'm good a that."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:19 pm

"Well, you're all tall, dark, and broodsome, you know?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:30 pm

"I'm not broody. I'm just quiet."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 4:14 pm

"You're a bit broody."

by **John Hino** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:03 pm

"Maybe lately. I was recently kidnapped by an insane big game hunter."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:08 pm

"Yeah...outside stuff can suck."

by **John Hino** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:34 pm

"And now Ninja Spider Zombie Demon."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:28 pm

"Are you sure it isn't a fanfic written by someone who is twelve?"

by **John Hino** » Tue Sep 24, 2013 9:44 am

"It really felt like the guy on the tape was family in some way I can't explain, but I would be incredibly relieved if this were an elaborate joke. Annoyed and angry, but relieved."

by **Trini Thompson** » Tue Sep 24, 2013 2:02 pm

"Well, VHS didn't exist back then, right? Maybe you can hang your hat on that..."

by **John Hino** » Tue Sep 24, 2013 6:57 pm

"Don't ask me how magical ghost objects even exist, let alone do anything. Maybe it just transferred some of itself onto a videotape it gobbled up."

by **Trini Thompson** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 12:06 am

"Well, there are several ways," she began...

"...but I'm sure the professor can tell you all about that."

by **John Hino** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 2:07 pm

"I don't need to know the not-science, not that I'd understand anyway. I was raised to believe first and foremost in rational explanations."

by **Trini Thompson** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:51 pm

"Oh, there are plenty of rational explanations; you just have to turn logic slantways."
