[Now he's had more time to practice filters, he's trying one out. He's sure this matter has been brought up before at some point in time anyhow, so it's not like it's too sensitive. But he has to ask, since it seems like people never discuss it. At the moment, Mulder can be seen holding a small handheld mirror and

[The snark mode definitely catches this kid's attention.]

Heh. I couldn't have said it better. Well done.

[Voice]

[ufo_fanboy]

Thanks. I figure this place deserved nothing but the most accurate description. They really should have a brochure.

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

The New Feathers' guide should be the only brochure you need. Didn't anyone show it to you?

[Voice]

[ufo_fanboy]

Already got my hands on that, it's a classic bestseller for sure. I'd have been even more lost than I already was without it.

I'm talking more along the lines of advertising this place across space and time, to warn people what they're getting into. Of course, to do that we'd need some way of getting information out of this place, and that kind of communication is on the side of impossible as far as I can tell. If we could do something like that, we could get out of here.

...scanner?

[ufo_fanboy]

Yeah, usually it involves some kind of a laser- a specialized beam of light if you've never heard of that. They have the capability to read any information that's stored in the barcode.

[...Beam of light? Oh, Future. You silly thing.]

Oh! I see. Do you think...there is information on our tattoos then? I wonder what it says...

voice - filtered to residents

[ufo_fanboy]

My best guess would be information about us, home world, basic identifying information, anything else they happen to be aware of...

[Voice--Locked]

[derek_bliss]

My first guess on the barcode is a tracking device. Maybe where they hide the translator too, because I seriously doubt the entire fabric of reality speaks English as a primary language.

...Kinda like the grocery store idea though. Wonder how they decide pricing. Genetic make up? Skill set? Area of Origin? Color of our hair?

You can try asking for a computer; dunno if you'll get one or not, but I have a laptop they gave me if you want to borrow it.

[Voice--Locked]

[ufo_fanboy]

Tracking device is what makes the most sense to me, too. Maybe they also store some of our identifying information, things like home worlds and so on. Good point about the translation, too, it's a logical assumption, considering that aside from it and the wings, I haven't come across any other abnormal physical alterations. Although implanted devices are hard to be certain about.

...People from the less interesting planets get thrown on sale. I bet it's genetics, though. I'm sure they already have all of our genetic information compiled in a database somewhere.

Thanks about the laptop, I might take you up on that offer, especially if I'm not able to get my hands on one of my own.

[Voice--Locked]

[derek_bliss]

No problem.

Damn, you and I must be in the bargain bin, then.

[Voice--Locked]

[ufo_fanboy]

Pretty much. The majority of people where I'm from don't even believe in extraterrestrial life.

[Exceedingly wrong, in Mulder's opinion.]

I have to wonder if the barcode would just grow back if anyone tried removing it...

[Voice]

[kingofwaste]

Boy, I wish I coulda gone to Disneyworld instead.

[Voice]

[ufo_fanboy]

You and me both. I bet no one ever had this much trouble on the It's a Small World ride.

[Voice]

[kingofwaste]

Depends how long the line is. Five hours of the It's a Small World song can start gettin' on people's nerves, but on an average visitor's day, I'd take my chances with the annoyin' music.

[Voice]

[ufo_fanboy]

Ok, true, even the sanest mind would crack after hearing that song repeatedly. But you can be sure that the people in the rides won't come to life and start abducting you for tests, at least...

You must be from my world, roughly.

[slaying]

Can I go ahead and down-grade that to a quarter star? A smidgen of a star?

[ufo_fanboy]

How about just a single one of the points, would that count as a rating?

[slaying]

Oh! Or...negatives. Can we do, like, negative ten stars?

[ufo_fanboy]

I could get down with the concept of negative stars. Luceti would end up as the lowest rated interdimensional resort town in the whole universe.

It would have really had something going for it without all of the experiments and sneaky overlords...
