Case 9: The Amazing Device

[jamesholmes]

What? What is this?

[And with that voice is this music playing repeatedly.]

Wait, so I have to choose, one of them...I see now...

[...James is playing Satchel Monsters Aqua Version, on a Game Boy Color so he could see how it works while he messed around with it. No he doesn't know what he's doing.Alright, fire, water and...wait grass? Grass

James? [ Do you hear that chiding? All those bloody's and... you're disturbing her nice, quiet reading ] Whatever are you doing?

Forever?

[jamesholmes]

[Whoops sorry Helen, he didn't realize his journal was open.] Terribly sorry Helen, I was not aware the, journal was open. And I found, a device...some sort of entertainment device and am well...testing it.

[longaevus]

An entertainment device? [ The who what now ]

[jamesholmes]

A contraption powered by some, internal power source that allows you to do things on it. [Yup James' dictionary brain serves him well here.] It's very complex even though it does not appear to be.

[longaevus]

[ She's just going to look at her journal now because... so unhelpful, James ] No doubt due to it being unlike anything that you have seen before, which you still should not be. [ Time continuum, honestly ]

[jamesholmes]

[Sorry? It's cool Helen ;A;.] Well there is that but a gentleman showed me a laptop earlier, when we first arrived. So I thought I should look into such things. [Little early for that Helen :/ Basics yeah but here? Pfft.]

[longaevus]

[ She doesn't want to screw up their possible futures, okay. If they're supposed to be here in the future she doesn't want to ruin anything by knowing it now, honestly ] And again learning more that you no doubt should. James, when we return to London?

[jamesholmes]

[It's a laptop and a Game Boy it's not going to hurt anything...] From what everyone has said we will not remember this experience when we return, so it will not effect us at all Helen.

[longaevus]

'Has said'? We have no way of knowing.

[jamesholmes]

Everyone that I have had this discussion with, including those that have been here a year or more, have said the same exact thing. We do not recall these events upon returning to our world.

[longaevus]

And we cannot be certain of the truth, or if there are other beings at play that could affect our perceptions.

[jamesholmes]

When it is mass opinion then it must be true Helen, honestly. And I doubt there are others affecting us, unless he is here of course.

[longaevus]

Then you'll pardon if I'm not quite as quick to believe - I'd rather have a little proof than that.

[ Oh how things were certainly reversed ] You've changed your opinion, then?
