[As it's raining today, the old man has decided to do what he usually does, get drunk out of boredom. But it has been a while since he's used the journal for anything other than people watching, so he figured he should probably contribute to that mess that we call social interaction. He's been trying to figure out what he was doing the last time he was in Luceti, he must've entertained himself somehow. He did gardening.]

How do you guys stop yerselves from gettin' so bored in this place? Not that I mind the peace and quiet we get when we're not bein' experimented on! It's just that some of you must've picked up new hobbies, ones that don't involve spendin' every day at the battle dome, right? Us old folk just aren't cut out fer that sorta thing. Drinkin' alcohol every day isn't a very healthy hobby ta have.

[A pause while he pours himself another class of wine.]

A turtle did suggest that I take up a musical instrument now that I think about it.

Comments

[Voice] Race cars, lazers, aeroplanes!

Biplanes, you mean? Air-ships? Things like that? I expect so. They have books published up to and beyond 1986 - and I met a guy from a world where they travel through space as a matter of routine. There are bound to be books from his world there too.

[Voice] All the wonderful technology ;_;

[crisisrain]

Traveling through space, as if it's normal? [That's unbelievable to him, to think that people walk among the stars at will is something else indeed.]

Just how many vehicles are there anyway? I know about boats, carriages, and cars and planes, but I'm startin' ta think there's way much than I can imagine.

[Voice] It's a duck-blur!

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Vehicles, yes, but also more foods and vocations and worlds, races and species and books and places, more of everything.

[She pauses for a moment's thought.]

Unless there's some reason why you're caught up on vehicles specifically.

[Voice] That makes me think "Quack!"

[crisisrain]

I know that! I've met a few people here who aren't even human, let alone from Earth or any world I've heard of. I think Luceti has opened my mind up enough ta realize there's some strange things out there.

But hmm... I'm not sure why I'm interested in the vehicles, maybe it's because I can't imagine what they look like?

[Voice] Awesome. I wonder how many other people I can make think "quack" today? ^_^;

Then you'd love the Gravitube.

Presuming, that is, that your world doesn't have them - or something like them. They make use of the natural gravity of the earth's core to travel long distances very very quickly - though obviously they only work in a straight line.

[Obviously.]
