Can't sleep. Choose topic 1, 2, 3 or all if you will.

1.
If you were to assign your past life a genre what would you choose?
Give me some examples. I'm having trouble with mine -- I used to think it was slice of life but now I'm just confused.

2.
If you think about going swimming in the ocean at night even in July, don't do it. It's cold as hell. Also practice diving first. If you go out at any time of the night, bring your phone no matter where you go. Except the water.

3.
Who here has experience with immortality or time travel? Discussion requested.

For today I'm the cause of them worrying about you. Well, if she demands to know who I am I'll go show my face.

[pheromonecoffee]

If anyone's going to demand to meet you it'll be my dad.

[substitutable]

[He looks up. And looks actually worried.] Your dad?

[pheromonecoffee]

Mmm, family thing. I think he blames himself for the Numbered thing. He hasn't gotten too many chances to come down and visit.

[substitutable]

What's he again, a professor? I can only imagine he's busy.

You still gonna go up to New York this summer to visit?

[pheromonecoffee]

... Scientist, actually. Medical researcher. He lost his job about a year ago and he's been working three or four part time jobs since... That's why I'm here.

I'm not just not going to see my parents because they're mad.

[substitutable]

[Ah. He looks a little apologetic for having blurted that out, nodding quietly.]

I didn't think you wouldn't for that reason. I was just curious, traveling hasn't been kind to you.

[pheromonecoffee]

One trip doesn't mean "traveling."

[substitutable]

Your move from New York put you in Numberland.

[pheromonecoffee]

My trip home will take me out of it for a week or two.

[substitutable]

I suppose. What about the kid?

[pheromonecoffee]

I'll take him with me if I can. The fourteen year old. Ken.

[substitutable]

[He glances over at him.]

I hope you can. Hopefully you'll both have a peaceful trip.
