#36: Non-Euclidean Geometry

Aug 31, 2009 19:07

[Video]

[The footage is somewhat dizzying. Look at this and this for reference. A duck seems to be running across a landing--no, sideways across part of the wall. He's finally turns the camera on himself.]

So, apparently I'm stuck in an M.C. Escher drawing. Through which I am chasing a duck. Not very successfully, at the moment, I admit.

Um... ( Read more... )

cue ridiculous chase scene, avoiding issues, ducks, breaking all kinds of laws, curse: affected, rat maze day

Ducks? Why are you chasing the duck...? Are you trying to save it?

horrible_phd September 1 2009, 00:45:05 UTC

I'm not sure it needs saving, but I'm trying to catch it. It belongs to my roommate and it ran into the stairwell when I left this morning only then the stairwell turned into, well, this.

Oh, I see...so it's your friend's pet! I can see why you'd want to get it out of the maze.

I don't want her to be unhappy with me.

How the hell did you get into there?

horrible_phd September 1 2009, 01:50:45 UTC

A very short time ago it was the stairwell of my building.

der_freischuetz September 1 2009, 01:56:02 UTC

I see. Where you ended up looks a lot more interesting than where some of the others got lost, though.

horrible_phd September 1 2009, 02:16:13 UTC

It's...a little nauseating after a while, actually.

Backdated? (sorry for the fail) horrible_penny September 1 2009, 04:43:14 UTC

Simmons has a great sense of direction. He'll be okay.

Totally fine--only just made activity orz horrible_phd September 1 2009, 17:33:01 UTC

As long as he doesn't get run over by monsters.

But, um, I think he'll be fine. They're not very fast, just big and lumber-y. Lumbering-ly? Lumber-ful?

horrible_penny September 1 2009, 18:30:31 UTC

How big are these things again?

Whatever they are, start running if you see any that look hungry.

horrible_phd September 2 2009, 19:42:52 UTC

Like, as long as person or so but fat. Although, not always. It's hard to judge, with perspective not actually working.

They don't seem to be.

Oh. Oh my, that looks like it would give you an awful headache. I'm sorry.

Feel free not to answer this until you get out of that place, but- do you break the laws of physics often?

horrible_phd September 1 2009, 17:49:16 UTC

Not very often. But I think it's easiest to get things done if you ignore silly "laws".
