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!

[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.

People keep using that term, yet I never get that much closer to understanding it. I assume it's bad.

That's what science fiction tells us, anyway.

It's not like time travel is even possible where I come from.

Pah! If it's just what the books say, then I wouldn't take it seriously.

That sounds like a set of famous last words to me.

I'm just saying fiction is fiction for a reason.

Ghosts were fictional for a while too. Look how well that turned out.

Come on, I'm sure not... everything supernatural will come true while we're here, right?

[ flynn might just die if that were the case ]

Maybe not everything.

[I could do without mermaids, he thinks to himself, but doesn't say aloud]

But I definitely think we should be prepared for the unexpected.

I don't think we have adequate materials for that kind of preparation. Or therapy.

And here I thought you were the resourceful type, Flynn Rider.
