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

[ 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. ]

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.

[hellshaped]

Why wouldn't you just get an aquarium?

[gevurah]

[ Real fish die too fast? That's a good question. ]

I have no idea.

[hellshaped]

I guess people watch a lot of television in the future.

[gevurah]

Definitely. [ She's guessing he hasn't seen a computer yet. ] If you want, you can watch whatever you want on this TV. I'm not using it anymore.

[hellshaped]

[He doesn't even know what a computer is!] Wow, okay!

[A pause.]

How ... do you work it?

[gevurah]

Oh, hang on a second. [ She should get that rated R movie out of the DVD player... ]

[hellshaped]

[Probably a good idea.]

Okay -- wow, what's that thing? [WHAT IS A DVD.]

[gevurah]

It's a DVD player. [ When the disc pops out, she shows him. ] They play movies and such. In the past you had cassette tapes, which were more bulky.

[hellshaped]

[He just peers over at it. Everything is exciting.] It looks like a record. But it's shiny.
