It is absolutely strange but...

( so is this place. )

I came here from the sixties so I had to learn that strange was very possible very quickly. If I allow myself to get stuck on it, I will go out of my mind.

[deadthenred]

I dunno if knowing how to use the internet really prepares you for all this. [ Does Bucky actually know how to use the internet? ]

Strange things happened in the sixties, too. The space race. [ Maybe that seems quaint in 2512, but fifty years before that going to the moon was something for H.G. Wells. ] I always felt like time was moving fast.

[kgbs]

I don't know if I ever felt like that. I was...focused on my work.

( he keeps the mention of his employment to that so he doesn't dredge up an argument with the other man. )

I suppose there is an argument for strange things happening anywhere but you have to admit they are especially strange here.

[deadthenred]

[ He's about to say something about it being a matter of perspective, because time travel and other dimensions aren't new, but— ]

I guess my life has been weird for a long time.

[ That's an understatement. ]

[kgbs]

And now you are here.

( congratulations. )

Where it will get even weirder.

[deadthenred]

[ Will it, though? He doesn't really know, he hasn't been here long. ]

What's the weirdest thing you've seen, here?

[kgbs]

( that is...a good question. )

Here? I do not know. I know there have been giant monsters that I avoided. And there are a lot of people from different planets here. That is strange too.

( and took some getting used to. )

[deadthenred]

[ Okay, normal things. ]

Yeah, I heard about the monsters. And vampires. [ Man, it's been a while since he had to deal with vampires. ] Aliens, I think people've been cagey about.

[ Or he just hasn't really talked with many people from Star Wars. ]

[kgbs]

Vampires?

( well, someone had missed those. )

There are vampires? They are not a myth?

[deadthenred]

Oh. [ Well, he doesn't actually know much about the vampires here. ] Well, we had them back home. Not a myth.

Same with the monsters, and the people from other planets.

[kgbs]

We had none of that.

( illya bets he's very surprised. )

I still do not believe it sometimes until it's right in front of my face where there is no choice but to believe it.

[deadthenred]

Or you did, and you just didn't know about it.

[ He takes another sip of his drink. ]

Tricky time to be a skeptic, that's for sure.

[kgbs]

Do not tell me that.

( because it would be all he could think about. )

I prefer it my way.
