{Nineteen} &diams It's another perfect day

[burnt_orangesky]

Has anyone else been having difficulty with their chairs? Mine start singing and moving about whenever I try to sit in them.

On a different note, does anyone know if the buffet that is currently occupying the Wilderness only consists of Earth food? I will get round to exploring it properly myself soon, I was just curious if anyone had discovered food that is obviously not from Earth.

Chairs, Fred?

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, chairs. Try sitting in one, please; I want to know if mine is an isolated event.

Translation: It is way too early for science.

[subject-e0057.livejournal.com]

...Is this urgent, or may I get some coffee and a warning, first?

.Blasphemy, it's never too early for science.

[burnt_orangesky]

It isn't urgent, no. The warning is: every time I sit in one, it bursts into song. So far I have been subjected to
-Some sort of jingle for [pause] I think it was singing about cat food of some sort
-A song of either nonsense words or a language I did not know
-A song comparing bananas to phones [pen taps] I think that is what it was singing about.

They also move about until you get up from the chair.

But it requires caffiene if it is before noon. :<

Typically these are either a game of the tree or occurs after a memory is gained, but I'll check.

[Written about fifteen minutes later.]

...Yes, it's happening elsewhere.

EARTH food?

This is true

[burnt_orangesky]

Oh joy, everyone gets to suffer. At least the Wilderness seems to be something we really need just now.

[Pause]...oh bother, now I have that banana-phone song stuck in my head.

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, exactly.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

What other kind of food is there?

..Speaking of, I need coffee.

[subject-e0057.livejournal.com]

Thankfully chairs can be avoided at times.

[Pentaps] Mine was something about loving and trusting. I'm not entirely sure it means anything.

[burnt_orangesky]

Food from worlds that are not Earth, of course.

XD

[burnt_orangesky]

True, this is why we have couches.

The songs seem random to me.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

There's no scientific evidence that any other planets but Earth have intelligent life. I'm not sure why I know that. So they probably don't have food, either.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Inkblot; she's laughing.]

I'm afraid your evidence would have to be most compelling indeed to convince me of that fact.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

I don't need evidence to prove something doesn't exist. It's more important to show proof that something does exist.

The universe is a lot bigger than people think, so it's pretty arrogant to think only Earth could have life, but it's very unlikely that any aliens have visited humans or kidnapped cows. So our only food is Earth food.

[stonyfaced.livejournal.com]

Where's Earth? Doesn't sound like they were too creative with their naming scheme.

[burnt_orangesky]

The third planet in the Sol system, located in the outer spiral of the Milky Way galaxy. [Pause, pen taps.] Interesting. Of course, since we don't know where we are in relation to that, it doesn't really mean anything.

Perhaps not; but it is a name that seems to work well enough.

His world is a disc and is in permanent quasi-medieval stasis. XD DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[stonyfaced.livejournal.com]

[There's a moment of hesitation as he tries to figure it out and realizes that none of that made sense. At all.] Sorry, run that by me again? The what system in the... what?

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, that is exactly my point.

[More inkblots.]

Perhaps the aliens were just extremely good at blending in, or perhaps humans merely overlooked their presence. But why would the aliens kidnap cows? That seems rather a cruel thing to do.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

I don't think it is. Any food in the Wilderness is going to be Earth food because it's here.

It a question of fuel and propulsion and the time it would take to get to Earth from another solar system. I'm not sure about the cows, though. I can't really remember...I just feel like kidnapped cows have something to do with aliens, except they don't.

Rofl, I love it.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Slight pause; there's no other way she can think to say it.] Erm, well. I believe it is a method the inhabitants of Earth used to give their planet a location in the overall universe; but as I said it doesn't really mean anything here.

[burnt_orangesky]

And here is Earth, is it?

Ah, you are judging your measurements no doubt on fuels and methods of propulsion Earth had at its disposal. How do you know other worlds might not have come up with other means, or had other materials they could use?

...I think the cow issue may be a red herring of sorts.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Well, it's definitely not Mars.

People can actually learn a lot about what's available elsewhere, even from far away! That's what I love about science. It never stops being interesting.

...I think it probably is.

[burnt_orangesky]

It certainly isn't Earth. And I never said I was from Mars.

Yes, science is a never-ending field of study. You never know what you might discover.

[subject-e0057.livejournal.com]

I may have to fight Yehuda and Jack for that, sadly.

Quite possibly.
