Case 2: The Case of the Mysterious Music

Aug 08, 2011 00:10

[ James is sitting down in the lobby, neat stacks of two or three papers on a nearby table as well as an open violin case, the violin sitting on the couch next to him as he finishes clipping together another set of papers with a paper clip before settling it down next to the others. The papers are all medical questions, some worded differently on ( Read more... )

That's very pretty.

[most people seem to be, because in her time no one had taken over the entire planet before]

Yes, he did. With the help of the last of the human race.

[No one has managed that task in his world yet, which is why he's curious as to how that happened.]

He took it over, with the last of the human race. Just how did he manage such a thing?

He created a paradox machine and brought them back from the end of the universe.

[A pause and a quiet hmm...over the journal for a few moments here.]

So, if I am under the correct impression here, your husband, created a paradox machine and I am assuming its a time paradox machine, and brought the last of the human race from the end of the universe to Earth, your modern day Earth, and took over the humans in that time with it?

You're correct.

That is...[Overly complicated? Insane? Crazy?] interesting, just why did he use a paradox machine though and not say, attempt to revolt the human race against one another and then step in to stop it?

[yeah, basically, not that Lucy much cares, or cared]

It was much more fun, his way. And the Toclafane were already loyal to him.

[Yeah he sort of figured that...but well husband he has to be at least polite about things.]

More fun yes...but what would have happened if someone turned the, well, Toclafane against him? And what then would have occurred if the humans also rose up againnst him?

They tried. Quite a few times.

[there's the sound of someone snorting lightly; it's Lucy, laughing dryly, without vocal cords backing it up]

He had rebellions put down very quickly. And the Toclafane would never have betrayed him. He saved them, after all. They would do anything to escape the cold and the dark.

I see...

[And an eyebrow is raised at the snorting and he grows slightly concerned.]

Are you alright?

But then, what would have happened if someone learned about the cold and the dark, and did the same to your Earth? What would they have done then?

I don't think there's any way to prematurely bring about the heat death of the universe, do you? But I suppose they would have flown off. They were only little shrunken heads inside steel balls.

No I have never heard of such a thing, but it is a simple question. Who said it had to be the universe, why not just say another ice age combined with the blocking out of the sun on Earth? [And he...isn't even going to comment on the shrunken heads bit, he's not squeemish at all just that, he's not sure HOW to approach that.]

It wouldn't have happened. Not unless Harry wanted it to.

jamesholmes August 9 2011, 07:03:53 UTC
But what would have happened if it did anyway? Unless Harry was an all seeing god, things do happen.

[of course James can't see it, but Lucy's mouth quirks in a humorless, almost sad smile]

He almost was an all-seeing god, from a human point of view.
