ok so

this is a little preview to the lecture I'm giving at the Iskaulit soon: The Amazing, Awesome, Absolutely Terrifying Physics of the Multiverse -

So the multiverse, which used to be a theory that is clearly being verified with each passing second is the force that connects an infinite number of alternate universes. Back home, we called ourselves Earth-1 but since we're not dealing with earths anymore, you can just call your home Universe-1.

Now, theoretically, there is an endless number of universes alternate to yours! they all have a version of you. For instance, I met my Earth-2 self which was a traumatic experience since he had the worst hair do since John Travolta did Grease.

[ and he was a psychopath but nevermind those details ]

This here is not an alternate universe, it's a pocket dimension since we have people here from various universes. Usuallym we have only one version of a person at a time BUT, if there ever was another version of YOU, then, you're in the same lifeboat as I am. You have met your Universe-2 self. Hope it was a good time. I'd love to meet the version of me who runs a highly successful company and can afford endless videos games but, I'm getting distracted.

Thing is, time in YOUR world didn't stop, which means that the YOU here is now an alternate version of the YOU at home. If you two ever meet, the one at home would be Universe-1 and you would be Universe-2. Talk about confusion, right?

it also means that if we ever find out how the Atroma is doing alla this that we can go full on Sliders. If you wouldn't want to go back to your world, you could go somewhere else since there is a YOU back home carrying on with the life you have left when you got here.

basically, it means that in theory, we might be able to visit each other's universes and times and if you have a cute girlfriend here you won't literally have to be star-crossed lovers.

Me, I'm less stuck on the 'you jump through the wormhole, I jump, Jack' and I'm more keen on discovering the sham that must be National City's pizza.

For a longer version of all of this and a talk about philosophy, physics and timelines, you can come to my lecture or just come visit me on the blameless. bring food.

Cisco Ramon, out!

[resnipstance]

Oh. Um. [She suddenly looks a bit awkward and apologetic.]

I'm... a carnivore?

Dairy isn't really great for me.

[benames]

Seriously? that's so legit

[ so cool ]

you know, the ice cream is based on water not dairy, so you're safe. we can get some tall bird food to go. The sweet and sour stuff ain't very bad.

[resnipstance]

Oh-- good.

... It doesn't freak you out?

[Sometimes humans get a bit weirded out.]

[benames]

You're my friend.

[ which tops absolutely everything else in cisco's mind. his friends have a tendency to be unusual, after all. this is hardly a first. ]

And you're badass. It doesn't freak me out. Are you managing in the time between planets?

[resnipstance]

[ She's touched he thought to ask. ]

It's fine. I go hunting every time were docked somewhere and I purchase extra meat when I can. And Max is a serial food hoarder. I think he thinks the apocalypse is going to happen any day now...

Anyway. As for the Moxie stuff, I can blend in just fine. Do you own anything in red?

[benames]

Hey, he might be in the right state of mind. I mean, one day they may decide to let us live off the protein bars and the flavored gel for months and I will cry many, manly tears.

[ y e p ]

Oh, I think I have just the t-shirt.

[ his Flash one :') ]

[resnipstance]

You know, everyone complains about the protein rations, but they really aren't so bad once you get used to them! I lived off them for years.

[#child soldier life]

I'm starting to feel like there's a story behind that statement, but I think I'll let you surprise me...

[benames]

seriously? I mean, they're not so bad but they're not a big belly cheeseburger with extra fries either.

[ why didn't he ask the hand holding tree for a burger ;;;; ]

It's a bit of a long one but it's also a super awesome one. I'll be over in a few!

[resnipstance]

Well sure, but it's space! Not much survives up here. You have to make do, right?

[She grins.]

I'm a little short on super awesome stories lately. I'll wait.

[benames]

[ you know what, ahsoka, he'll pick up on that conversation as soon as he sees you. and yes, the flash t-shirt is on ]

but I mean, some of the planets have really cool stuff. I wish we'd get a stock of dry food we could keep - like astronaut ice cream, that stuff is legit.

[resnipstance]

[A small chuckle.]

Well, I've always got plenty of jerky?

You're not wrong though. I could really go for some nerf steak.

[benames]

You have jerky? girl, you are rocking this space reality show.

[ highfive! ]

me and Kate are always trying to create normal food around here but the no dairy thing is a serious downer for us. Also eggs. I always worry that the eggs on the planet will make me grow a third arm or something.

[resnipstance]

[Pffft.]

I'm no scientist, but I'm reasonably sure that food can't change your basic biology.

[benames]

You know what they say - never say never and alla that.

[ a hum of consideration ]

but you know what, I'll consider the omelette option again. I would kill for an omelette.

[resnipstance]

Ugh. Now you're just making me hungry.

[benames]

Good thing we're color cocded for dinner. Tell no one but I mostly hang out in the Spirit area but their food sucks.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka grins conspiratorially.]

Ha. Well, now it's time for delicious meat.

[benames]

-- we are sure they're mostly sanitary around here, right? I mean, you and I are not going to be sick for a week?

[ super important ok ]

[resnipstance]

Well, you might be. My stomach's practically cast iron.

[benames]

You're just turning cooler and cooler by the second, do you even realize how awesome this is.

[ he basically hops around her ]

so! all the people where you're from eat only meat? what meat do you guys have on your planet?
