Forty-Second Theory [Voice/Action for Housemates]

Apr 13, 2011 11:33

[Don is feeling a little claustrophobic today. The number of vehicles he has stashed in his workroom has increased to five over the past week, and he's running out of room to build more. He'd been hoping that the wet, overcast weather would break so he could take his work outside, but that didn't exactly pan out. It is sunny today, but it's also ( Read more... )

getting stuff done, from the safety of his own home, inventing things, taking a survey

This world, or worlds in general?

[voice] i_speak_softly April 13 2011, 23:46:41 UTC

Any world.

[voice] godbent April 13 2011, 23:48:40 UTC

Well, then first things first, I'd try to see how we can't resolve the situation here. [...] And then I'd make the world more interesting.

[voice] i_speak_softly April 13 2011, 23:52:44 UTC

Pretty vague. What's your name?

[voice] godbent April 13 2011, 23:55:58 UTC

There's nothing vague about it! If the world needs aliens, we add aliens. If it needs espers, we add espers. If that's not enough, let's throw in some time travel. If that's still not enough, then start to make for an alternate version of that world. With the power to change it, there's no reason not to make it better.

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 00:38:31 UTC

Oh, you're talking about a non-specific world.

Do you think 'interesting' is always better?

[voice] godbent April 14 2011, 00:47:53 UTC

Ye- [...] Yes... no. Usually - legitimately interesting things are always better, but if you're using "interesting" to mean "nightmare induced place where people die all the time" then you're not handling it correctly anyway.

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 02:08:49 UTC

You mean things that are just interesting and not also dangerous?

[voice] godbent April 14 2011, 02:10:33 UTC

And not also... well, like, you know, sometimes people are interesting, but as a result they're ostracized. That defeats the point.

[...Actually, isn't this guy a giant turtle? Of course he'd know that]

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 02:45:56 UTC

I think I know what you mean. [He's just not sure how to put it in words.]

[voice] godbent April 14 2011, 02:46:55 UTC

...Yeah, exactly! So we're talking about a world in which everyone can live a fun and interesting life.

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 02:55:38 UTC

But what if some people just prefer boring lives?

[voice] godbent April 14 2011, 03:00:52 UTC

Who the hell would prefer a boring life?

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 03:22:25 UTC

Maybe someone who had experienced too many interesting things already?

[voice] godbent April 14 2011, 15:54:11 UTC

Maybe they just didn't see the right things.

[voice] i_speak_softly April 14 2011, 23:46:19 UTC

It was only hypothetical.
