[network] @magenta2; voice - morning 286 [open]

[himalayanyeti]

Mm, so, is anyone else here from a very long time ago?

[Magenta apparently decides to leave it at that for a couple minutes, before returning to elaborate on the question with a carefully maintained tone of carelessness to his voice. It's a far cry from what he actually sounds like when he's excited or happy, but to the casual listener, it's probably close enough.]

I mean--you know. I think we're s'posed to be in...twenty-one-and-something, I can't remember the exacts, but is anyone here from long before now? A few folks I've talked to have mentioned they're from twenty-something, early twenty-something, but I don't know about all of y'all.

[A pause.]

I'm from 1891, and I reckon it's all a little new to everyone, but it sure seems like y'all have an easier time of gettin' used to things! Computers, and the nan...nan--nanomachines, and whatever else. I don't really know much about any of it, and I'm not that smart to begin with! It's all past me, and I'm sorry for not bein' much help. I guess what I'm meanin' to ask is how everyone deals with figurin' stuff out from the future.

He~ey, though, while we're on it: tell me about the future! I've heard the airplanes are marvelous. I'm very interested in all of it, even if I can't quite get it.

no its ok i believe you you seem like a real medicine doctor for diseases and stuff. cancer or whatever it is i dont think it exists where im from else i might know what it is or maybe had it. im not a doctor though so maybe ive just not heard about it cause i dont know any doctors at home

i mean i do but theyre all non medicine doctors. one of them is a fossil doctor

[onlytwothings]

I hope I do, or I should contact the colleges I went to and ask for my money back. And you don't want cancer, Magenta. I'm also fairly certain it exists where you're from; it could have a different name, perhaps.

Fossil doctors are interesting. I'm sure they must uncover all kinds of interesting finds in their work.

[himalayanyeti]

so is it like a cold or what cause ive had a lot of colds and chicken pox (NOT shingles) and those all were very bad. also if i ever find you again you should take a look at my eye cause ive also had brain issues that make me seem sick

yeah he was a real bag of cats but fun. hated dinosaurs i think though which seems weird

[onlytwothings]

Picture if you can the world's worst cold, and then multiply it by a million. Some people feel tired and sore all the time, while others only feel tired and exhausted some of the time. There's usually muscle aches involved, and depending on the medication you're using to treat it, you often have nausea and cramps as side effects.

Well, I'm not sure where you are now, but I could always meet you somewhere.

[himalayanyeti]

i feel awful just thinking about it but you help all the folks who have it? thats awful nice of you you must be a damn smart doctor to do shit like that and not even have a trouble explaining it to a moron like me

oh you dont have to worry about it but im up in the tunnels. with joker and harley still

cw: cancer

[onlytwothings]

I help the ones that I can. A lot of people out there have cancer, and I'm just one oncologist out of many.

[ Not touching the ones who don't make it. It will never stop hitting him hard, whenever he loses a patient. ]

I studied a lot, and I try to keep up with advances and discoveries that are being made.

[ He's not addressing the moron comment, because he feels like he's beating a dead horse there. But he does have something else to add: ]

All right, but if you ever want to meet up again, just let me know.
