I've still got your dagger. If you're not busy I can drop it off at your room.


[ jenny ]

[ She mulled over this for a while during that Pokemon world. Jenny intrigued her on various levels and she certainly didn't mind her company when they had run into each other. It was nice a breath of fresh air to be able to talk to another woman about the castle's mysteries and the residents without passing off as too nosy. Of course, Jenny could just be feigning ignorance of Kate's perceptiveness.

Either way, Brock and Molotov's wedding invite said bringing a plus one was fine. There was no way she was going to ask Renee; too many uneasy feelings made her feel on edge.

After a long pause, she dictates: ]

Got any plans on the twenty-ninth?


I wonder if filmmakers would kill for whatever it was that happened with the library a while ago. Who needs 3D when you can experience your favorite story with all five senses? Then again, it would have been much preferred had the history book I borrowed not stuck me in a corset.

Anyway, out of curiosity... how many world changes have there been in total here?

[ And for anyone wandering into the game room, Kate's seated in there, focused more on her journal than the movie that she paused anyway. ]

Comments

[gevurah]

[ She looks up from her journal. ]

Hey, Hellboy.

[hellshaped]

[Oh, it's Kate! Yay, Kate. He waves.]

Hi! What are you doing?

[gevurah]

I was watching a movie. [ A pause, as the movie itself is paused. ] Took a little break.

[hellshaped]

Oh, wow. That's -- [WAIT WOWWWWW] Is that in color?!

[gevurah]

[ IT'S PROB SOME VIOLENT HORROR MOVIE SHE WAS WATCHING, TOO. She's glad she has it paused. Hellboy, you're too young!!

But she raises an eyebrow. ]

In '54 the first commercial color television was available. You're from before that?

[hellshaped]

[He's already bounded up to the TV and is like, staring at it. Color, wow, so cool ...]

It's 1947.

[Wait....... he turns to look at her over his shoulder, squinting at first, and then his eyes go wide.]

Are you from the future ....?

[gevurah]

[ HELLBOY, YOU OLD. She really is surprised by the amount of stuff she didn't know about him. ]

It's 2011 for me.

[hellshaped]

[It doesn't really come up in conversation that often!]

2011? Oh my gosh. Do people have jet packs? Do you have a jet pack?

[gevurah]

[ Lol comics. Batman probably has one... ]

Probably, but I don't have one. I use a car or motorcycle to get around.

[hellshaped]

Some of the army guys have motorcycles. What do cars look like in the future?

[gevurah]

Depends on the model. If I could access the garage here, I could show you some of Stark's old cars.

[hellshaped]

Who's that?

[gevurah]

He used to be a resident here. From what I knew, he was an expert with technology.

[hellshaped]

Oh ... "used to be"? Did he move? Or ... did he go home?

[gevurah]

He was sent back home. [ As far as they know... ]

[hellshaped]

That's good. I'm sure his family missed him.

[gevurah]

[ Giving him a look now. ]

Do you miss the professor?

[hellshaped]

[nodding!] Yes. But I should be back with him soon, right?

[gevurah]

You will. [ She thought it'd be sooner, but he's still here. Can't be too long now. ] You'll tell him about color TV?

[hellshaped]

[Hellboy has only vaguely noticed that he's here longer than everyone said he would be -- he's too busy exploring to worry about that sort of thing just yet.]

Sure! We don't have a TV, but maybe we'll get one if they're color.

[gevurah]

We don't have many channels in Paradisa, but back home, in the future? You're going to have way too many to keep track of.

[hellshaped]

Really? Why are there that many?

[gevurah]

Thousands of them.

[hellshaped]

Why would you even need that many channels! [He puts his hands on his face!!]

That is way too many.

[gevurah]

There's a channel for everything. There's even an aquarium channel.
