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

[ 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.
