It has been made known that I am from the past! At least, to most of you. Really, the clothing should have tipped me off, you guys have it really... really rough, whatever time it is you're from. Some of the things you wear hurt my eyes.

But, I do have an important question!

I'd love to know of important events-- favorably something closer to my time, but I won't be picky. It's nothing short of earnest curiosity! As someone presented with a rare opportunity, I'd like to take advantage of it. For history and the pursuit of knowledge!

OK, define "past". How many years back? Did people really ride woolly mammoths? Did you really chuck whatever's in the toilet out the window instead of flushing?

[There are waaaaay too many exclamation points there.]

Earnest curiosity? Really? Are you sure this isn't to make a profit when you get back?
middleofcalibrations: (Default)

[personal profile] middleofcalibrations 2013-09-15 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Because that's what I would do. Pick up some past winning lottery tickets, find out what companies to invest in. Maybe get the names of a couple of places that get blown up.

[He's lying, of course. That's not what he would do - except maybe for that last one. He's just finding the concept of time travelling criminals... interesting.]

... no. Do you know what a time paradox is?

[personal profile] infinitime_loop 2013-09-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The gist of it is that by learning of things no one of the time should know, and using that information to change important events of the past, you could do irreparable damage to the future.

The past?

Are you looking for winning lottery numbers?

[Lets out an amused snort]

I dunno how much I can help you since I've never heard of Corona and you've never heard of Japan. If I tell you too much you might get yourself caught in a time paradox, anyway.

Sounds like an opportunity if I've ever heard of one! If I knew anything about human history, I'd share. I'm sure you'd use it well.

[As in make tons of money and stash some for your benefactors.]

I think such an important contribution to history and knowledge deserves a reward! And what kind of businessmech would I be if I looked down on a little profit?

As much as I would love to give you a run down of what happened I don't know exactly when you are from, much less if we even share the same world of history. Apparently there are several people here from different universes entirely.

History can change quite easily - just based on who tells it.

I couldn't know for certain where your world veers off from mine. There's no way I could.

What century do you come from?
