O-O Tentacle hug. XD eep. Hi again haha. How've you been?

[Lawtan]

And yet are rather similar in some ways. In one, you start a fire to open the gates to an Alexandrian temple. In the other, you hack into the automatic door/side of a robotic giant turtle.

*Hugs the ml1201*

[Vincent]

Looks like you know how to make your way into places, then Lawman. XD

[Lawtan]

*Is sucked into a time vortex*
Apparently...
*Is spat back out - chaos tastes bad to time*

[Vincent]

Lol. :P Have you written any time-related stories as of late?

[Lawtan]

Working on it!
(Two of them...One talks about a vagrant who stumbles upon a time paradox in the form of a living ship with his older dying self on board...the other is about a cephalopod who has abilities between a "blink dog" and those immortal jellyfish...who through involuntary testing and adventures thereafter winds up reversing the disorder and biochemical processes of its underwater world, cleaning it of pollution and setting things back to the dawn of squid civilization...)

...Lawtan is odd...

[Vincent]

If you could ever made like a 3d digital world of your own I would so visit it just to see what it's like. XD
But yeah it sounds like it would be difficult to write about anything involving time or such. <_> The living ship one sounds interesting... I don't think I've heard of a living ship before. o.0

[Lawtan]

Farscape and Dune come to mind...
But yeah, I sort of figured that a structure that could maintain itself despite speeds greater than the speed of light would need to be able to rapidly fix itself, so something living.

...Also have a horror story about a Nautiloid abomination infecting people with fungi to create the resources needed to power a device akin to a particle accelerator...but for exploring and manipulating strings (string theory exploration)

two of my faves! =D

I feel like I might've heard of Farscape, but there's so many -scapes out there. XD I don't believe I've heard of Dune though...
And yeah I would kinda guess so o-o It's still interesting though.

That definitely does sound sorta horror-ific. o.o Kinda makes me think of the Matrix for some reason. xD

Hi, Trystan~ O:

[trystan830]

Farscape was on SciFi in the late 90s when SciFi was still good. it was about an astronaut, John Crichton, who ended up going through a wormhole and ended up on the other side of the universe, on a living ship of escaped prisoners. and that's just the opening episode. it ran for four seasons and ended with a 2-part, 2-hour mini-series.

Dune is a huge epic (a) book series that the first book was made into (b) a movie and then (c) the first book was a mini-series; and books 2 and 3 were also mini-series on SciFi... when SciFi was good. it's a multi-planet 'verse that spans thousands of years, the first book, Dune, taking place in 10191 A.G. - After Guild (the Spacing Guild, that is). there's 6 books in the series by the original author, and then two more after by his son & a co-author. and there's a number of prequel trilogies, as well as 2 books that take place between the books of the original series.

... i might have all of 'em that are out so far. there's another one due out later this year, too.

[Lawtan]

Dune is a science fiction series on par with Asimov's Foundation series. It takes place in a feudal interstellar empire, where "spice" provides long life and "sandworms" guard the precious very limited substance.

Farscape is Jim Henson's Science Fiction epic...essentially, it is very bio-punk (punk being "sci-fi" - steampunk is "science fiction 19th century victorian style")...so there are symbiotes that translate languages and break language barriers between sentient species, ships birthing ships, reptillians and humans modified to be xenophobic "peacekeepers"...and an astrophysicist from "primitive" Earth in early 2000 is lost via a wormhole among all this.

...yours sounds better than mine, Lawtan! =) mine is kinda boring.

[Vincent]

Nah they're both very explainative. XD I've never seen either though. Never been too much of a scifi buff. X: Thanks to both of you though I know about them a bit. xD

Did either of you see the new Star Wars movie? O:

[Lawtan]

I haven't .-.

Is it good? I was told it was a rehash of the original trilogy.

[trystan830]

thanks, Vincent!

i've seen the Force Awakens three times (twice in the theatre in 3D and once on my DVD player, since i have the DVD... as well as the original score on CD.

'a rehash of the original trilogy'? kinda. it's repackaged and characters have new names, and there is a Big Bad, but there's only so many characterizations & plots out there..... but i liked it. (then again, i like pretty much everything i watch and read. if i don't like it, i stop watching or reading it. =)
