[Private to Seto Kaiba; Cybertronian encryption]

We'll have to do that again sometime, hmm~?

[Private to Shockwave; Cybertronian encryption]

Things are going very well, all of a sudden. I'm not sure of the cause, but I'm not arguing. I am making headway. [So much smirking.]

[Unlocked]

Well, well. Another fall turning into winter on this ( Read more... )

Winter is a good season. Snow. Holidays. The sight of your breath on the air.

Tell me about your "stellar cycle".

Video femmescream November 30 2011, 19:05:29 UTC

A stellar cycle is a unit of time in Cybertronian terms, equal to a 'year' for whatever solar system one might be currently located in.

So it would be an Earth year, in this case.

So does not make for good flying weather.

Your measurement of time changes depending on where you are. Interesting. Alien?

Video femmescream December 1 2011, 03:29:59 UTC

That's only one measure of time, a very specific one. We have others. Why so curious?

Video exceptfebruary December 1 2011, 15:05:08 UTC

How it records time says a lot about a culture. I am interested in the others as well.

Video femmescream December 6 2011, 19:11:02 UTC

...Why?

[She's seriously curious about this.]

We have quite a few units. A Vorn, for instance, is equal to roughly 83 years in Earth-time.

Everything carries meaning. Take the days of the week on the Gregorian calendar - they come from Norse gods. Yet the months have a Roman origin. Sometimes it is merely a case of basing the calendar on the sun or the moon - and for an alien species, whatever celestial bodies they use to tell time.

Vorn. Quite long, don't you think?

Video femmescream December 7 2011, 00:04:43 UTC

[that all just went over her head :D]

Not that long, considering that my species, as you put it, is capable of living for thousands of years.

Video exceptfebruary December 7 2011, 01:11:39 UTC

That would explain it. I suppose you also have other, longer units of time?

Video femmescream December 7 2011, 02:28:39 UTC

Of course.

[Nevermind the fact that she's technically like. 3 earth years old.]

Video exceptfebruary December 7 2011, 02:50:26 UTC

[ He smiles. ]

So you see? How your kind measures time says something about you.

Video femmescream December 8 2011, 19:10:14 UTC

Mm. So what do you read, from us?

Video exceptfebruary December 8 2011, 20:49:02 UTC

It's difficult without context. But. Long-lived. Well travelled, interstellar. Cybertronian - the name of your species? Or planet, maybe. Scientifically and technologically advanced, to travel so far, and to need such specific measures of time.

Video femmescream December 13 2011, 01:09:30 UTC

Our home planet is Cybertron, and so we are Cybertronians.

[She is quite amused, as well as somewhat intrigued by his insight.]

Video exceptfebruary December 13 2011, 02:02:45 UTC

And is it a good planet, this Cybertron?

Video femmescream December 13 2011, 19:07:51 UTC

[She wouldn't know! She's never been there! Good thing she's got her creator's memories though.]

Worth fighting for, yes.
