un; pierre, video

I'm going to the planet below sometime soon when I feel like it. This is an open offer to anyone to come with me. Just know that I refuse to guarantee anyone's safety, so if you can't survive in space without oxygen or on unknown planets with unknown atmospheres, you might wanna reconsider coming along.

Also I can only bring like, three people, because I don't feel like carting around more than three of you. [She holds up exactly three fingers.]

Other than that, I'll need someone to look after Pumpkin while I'm gone. She's very important to me so if you screw up I'll make you regret it.

[As if on cue, an extremely adorable sentient pumpkin jumps up onto Lapis' lap, looks into the communicator, and barks.

And then licks the screen. Enjoy your pumpkin kisses, station.
]

[ooc; i'll probably rng if more people wanna go and have Lapis hit them up privately!]

Hello. My name is Connor. [Because introductions are important and polite, okay? Even if it is a little awkward.] I'm interested in accompanying you when you travel to the planet.

[A pause as he looks her over and smiles softly at the creature she has.] You're obviously not human... would you mind telling me about yourself? [He tilts his head a little to look at Pumpkin.] And Pumpkin? I've never met anyone like you before.

[There's something about his motions that don't seem quite natural or human either. It's incredibly subtle, but it's there. And, if she's looking closely, she might spot the flicker of blue light coming from a small, circular LED on his right temple.]

[She might notice now that his LED was flickering yellow and seemed to be making him a little bit twitchy.]

You... [Another twitch. His programming was having a really difficult time with this one. Aliens was one thing, living gems and pumpkins was another.] I don't understand. Gem? You're a gem? [Just saying that sentence was taxing on his processor.] And that... is a pumpkin?

How...?

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-15 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Chemicals... [He echoed, system already trying to work out some way that what she was claiming could be possible. But it really wasn't. There was no way it was possible for a rock to suddenly become sentient and alive and humanoid.

And her explanation for a pumpkin-dog? Someone made it.]


Of course.

[He needed to stop trying to think about this.]

Thank you.

Please let me know when you're planning on leaving...
rk800connor: (21)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-15 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
True... I would still like to see you and your group off, if that's at all possible.

[Curious as always.]

How are you planning to travel to the planet?
rk800connor: (08)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-15 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Lift and thrust are required to fly and for wings to create lift and thrust there must be air. Wings would not propel you through space. There is no air in space.
rk800connor: (19)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-15 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
How is that possible? [His LED is flickering yellow again. Please, start following the rules of physics >_<]

You're 6,000 years old and you can fly through space? [He didn't sound like he didn't believe her, just verifying information.] Do you have any experience traveling to different universes?
rk800connor: (36)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-16 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

[He tilts his head to the side.]

To your knowledge, is this station in a galaxy that you're familiar with?

[He pressed his lips together into a thin line, a little disappointed, but nodded.]

I attempted to match the constellations visible from the observation deck to any known star systems. [He pauses a moment and decides he needs to clarify.] Any star systems recorded by Earth scientists in the year 2038 where I'm from.

[Basically, this place wasn't anywhere that he knew of either.]

Based on your experience, do you have any predictions regarding the planet based on what we can see of it?
rk800connor: (54)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
It will be interesting to see if the liquid present is water or something else. It appears blue but that may have something to do with the atmosphere.

'Gems'? Is that what your people call themselves?

Early human? That would be surprising but, I suppose, it is a possibility.
rk800connor: (08)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-22 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good sign, isn't it? The presence of water increases the likelihood that the planet supports life of some kind.

[She'd answered his question. She was a 'gem' and not a 'human'.]

A projection of solid light? I'm not sure I understand. Light is not solid. Does that mean things can pass through you? Can you physically manipulate items? [Basically, could she interact with her environment if she was made of light.]
rk800connor: (96)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-23 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly the part where light isn't solid. Photons don't act like particles of matter. They shouldn't... do that.

[He opened his mouth and then simply closed it and exhaled, seeming to give up, a weird android sigh of defeat. Lapis was breaking physics again and Connor's programming didn't like it... again.

His LED was a solid yellow as he simply had to force himself to move on.]
rk800connor: (21)

[Connor's expression immediately shifted to mimic apologetic.]

I apologize, I didn't mean to imply you were lying.

[He tilted his head to the side, looking a little puzzled.] That's right... I was created by humans. [He frowned slightly.] I suppose I have nothing to compare humans to but their theories when it comes to physics seem accurate for the world in which they were theorized. Things like magic don't exist where I come from.
rk800connor: (19)

[personal profile] rk800connor 2018-07-27 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
No... [He mentally chided himself for not being clearer.] No, I was agreeing with you... or trying to. I meant, if there are things like magic, which exist here that do not exist where I'm from, then it's not unreasonable that there are aspects of physical science that are not understood or has not been discovered yet where I'm from.
