Zero Divide - Episode #1 - "Looking Glass"

Ian takes the last bites in his apple and throw what reamin of it in the garbage. "Hmmm... I don't know. If you know something about me, that would be interesting me, but I think it is the first time we meet. Oh, I was wondering today, what date are we. I never cared about it before this morning, not that will change my world either."

"Well despite the retro look you got going on around here, its," she taps what looks like her headphone a blue holographic display forms in front of her eyes, "June 16th, 2170."

The display dissapears, "Hey you guys got any beer?"
 

"Yeah, I agree that we could believe we are two century ago here. It is at least that old is the Mustang I am working on. Once working again, it will be quite a piece of collection." Ian walks to the fridge and open the door. He takes a look to see if there is any beer left in it.

There is beer in the fridge.

Krishna shrugs, or at least maybe the dog shrugs, it could have just been adjusting and just follows him. The books are on various topics, and if anything the book in your hand seems out of place; as most of the books are medical journals, science reference materials, and a healthy amount of cookbooks.

Krishna lies down by the reading chair.
"OK, they aren't here, I think," he says to himself, thinking aloud.

OOC: Unless there just happens to be a copy of the other Mahabharatas that didn't get mentioned. :o

Or some medical text auspiciously labeled as "Property of VSC" on the spine or some such? Barring that...


Picking up the religious text, he wanders out of the upstairs study and begins to look in earnest around the house for the references he thinks he seeks, along with any personal items of the late, aforementioned father of Vanessa.

"Come along, Krishna. We're going to find the rest of you too."
 

2170? Wow, this retro look sure fooled me. Good thing that the angry new guy is keeping Vanessa busy...if she wanted us to know all these details, she probably would have told us herself, right?

"Well then, what country are we in? And what's going on in the world these days?"

“What country, are you kidding me? Wow you guys really are out of touch huh? Well,” she takes a drink of her beer, “considering you guys are being so nice to me I guess I can tell you we are in the United States; and what is going on in the world, what do I look like CNN?”

Dee turns to Michael, “So a better question is why Vanessa has gone to so much trouble to keep us in the dark about the outside world? I am beginning to doubt the benevolence of our caretaker.”

Mira shrugs taking another drink, “Sounds like a typical parent to me.”

Alan

Krishna follows Alan into the hallway, and he checks another room. Inside though is a woman in a cream nightgown, with cinnamon colored skin and curly hair. She is standing in the entrance to a balcony, outside it is raining and the sky is dark… a night sky.

She turns, somehow you feel it, this is or perhaps was your wife. Arianna. You felt like you just called her Ari… but when is this?

Ari turns a cup of warm tea in her hand she smiles at you, “I was wondering when you were coming to bed, I put our little girl to bed, I just wish she could stay a baby forever.” Her accent is charming, and very British, at least you assume it is British…

Krishna walks into the room and hops on the bed, finding himself a nice spot to rest. Ari smiles shaking her head, “Have you even packed yet?” She walks towards Alan.

"No, I haven't. I'm still not even sure I should be going. Do you think Isaac would forgive me if I just stayed home instead?" He smiled with amusement, stepping inside the room.

"I feel like I'm lost already," he says with chagrin.

"The others don't understand. They'll never understand. Wherever I may go, the best part of me is here, right now. Tell me again why I'm doing this?" He sits down on the bed, running his fingers through his hair after casually tossing the book on the covers. Absentmindedly, he strokes the warm fur of the dog beside him.
 

"Why would you say two centuries ago, as opposed to some other time?" Sounds like someone has access to more information than the rest of us. "So if this place is retro, then what sorts of other common technology do we lack here? What else can your headphones do?"

"And what's CNN? We're almost completely lacking in context."
