Who: captains and party crashers!
Broadcast: nup
Action: yes; tonight in the local dive Hange mentioned earlier. Get drunk! Play drunk games! Get to know each other! Mingle!
When: October 27th; late :}

[The bar Hange picked out is about typical for the planet: a little small, although big enough for the turnout Hange more or less expects, and clean albeit a little dingy and stained around the edges. At very least, all the stains have been scrubbed at thoroughly at some point in their history, and only the most stubborn and enterprising remain.

Stubborn and enterprising like the crew the bar will now entertain!

Captains, make your parent threads and tag around. Party crashers are also welcome.]

[you know what, that one was at least close enough that he'll let it slide without more than an eyeroll.]

Yeah, tons of humans. And monsters. No aliens.

Wait--you didn't say that all the people there were human last time!

Uh, duh. [confused...] What else would they be?

Martians....?

Whats?

You know, the big-headed freaky eye guys!

[he... shakes his head.]

You're losing me, kid.

Don't you guys have aliens??? [ You are letting him down in so many outer space-y ways, Robin ]

Is that what those are? You called them something weird.

We got aliens in, like, movies and stuff...

Martians are the aliens that come from Mars! Like...if the aliens came from Gracia, they'd be Gracians! [ That sounds kind of like gracious, huh. ]

We don't have Mars. [he even says the word like he's never heard it before, kind of with a Z instead of an S.] But okay, okay, I get it now.

[ he just educated an alien C: He's so proud of himself. ]

Cool! So how'd you get humans all the way out wherever Gracia is?

[ooohkay running his hand down his own face.]

No, they didn't travel there, they just... were always there.

[ Be proud, this is the first time all evening Sam hasn't been afraid he's about to be arrested 8) ]

Like from the beginning?

[he would take pride if he knew...]

Yeah, when the Gods created the worlds, they created humans too. That's how it goes.

...Gods?? What about the monkeys?? [ Evolution....Sam's world doesn't have a god-based religion anymore oops ]

...What about the monkeys?

[go on, Sam. tell him about evolution.]

You know, the ones people came from! Monkeys then chimps and then humans! Evolution.

[PFFT he laughs!] You're just making that up. People did not evolve from monkeys.

We totally did! That's why we have the same hands and everything! And thumbs and stuff!

Just because our hands look similar doesn't mean we came from them. That'd be like saying... [he rolls his eyes...] Like saying dragons evolved from lizards.

...?? Lizards didn't evolve from dragons, they were around like 220 million years ago. They're reptiles just like the dinosaurs. I think the oldest is the iguana?

Dino-what? Pfft, okay, kid.

[he CLEARLY thinks he's just making stuff up at this point.]

[ WOW okay someone is CLEARLY an uneducated boob. ]

Dinosaurs! Come on, you have to have heard of those! Everyone knows them! T-Rex?? Leopluradon?? Stegosaurus?

[he is a perfectly educated boob thank you very much!]

We are definitely from different worlds, because there is nothing on my world called... those.
