party rock is in the house tonight

[flashmaiden]

Date & Time: Backdated to sometime before Emil leaves
Location: Unit 103
Characters: Too many people idek. Roommates, Asch, Emil, Asbel, & Christopher??
Summary: Legitimate fixes to the apartment that do not involve duct tape plus a dinner!!
Warnings: I think this entire cast is a warning.

[After the whole duct tape fiasco, or maybe because of it, they'd finally gotten someone to agree to repairing it. And since they have extra guests, it makes senses to do something like a family dinner, right? Only probably is that they don't really have the space for that even, but it won't stop them from trying! If they could cram that many people in the apartment last time, this should be considerably easier. So after some finagling, a dinner had been set up! This is that dinner.

Set up will be in the comments! Tag around, get CR, HAVE FUN. ]

[KITCHEN | DINING/MINGLING | WALL...FIXING??]

[inhumanity]

[And back to offense.] 'You guess'? That is entirely the wrong way to think about it. Your lack of imagination disheartens me. You see, there are a great many plants that don't have flowers, and many of them are perfectly wonderful plants, but flowers were themselves a late evolutionary development. Thinking of it that way, isn't a flower a beautiful way of a plant declaring that it has a will to reach beyond its former limits and live in new ways?

[knightofcourage]

[What's with this guy. What should he say. Help?]

Did they really evolve that late?

[inhumanity]

[Just learn to suffer.] They only appeared in the Cretaceous period of human history. In other words, while plants have been around for, oh, 475 million years, flowering plants appeared at the earliest 250 million years later, if not more. [The problem with being raised by scientists: Christopher knows a lot of random things and has incorporated them into his worldview in ridiculous ways.]

[knightofcourage]

[But that's hard, and not very fun!]

I think you and I come from very different worlds.

[He's older than literally everything but the elven race on his planet and still only 10,000+ years old. What are your millions.]

[inhumanity]

[liberal misinterpretation is a go] Do you mean to say that flowers in your world appeared even earlier in the geological record? Amazing! You must tell me all about the many diverse and elegant forms they've developed in all that extra time.

[knightofcourage]

Later, actually...the world I come from isn't that old.

[Seriously, hundreds of millions of years?

Oh wait that's how long he's supposed to live. Heeeeey.]

[inhumanity]

Hm? How old is it?

[knightofcourage]

Life has been on the planet for about ten thousand years now.

[inhumanity]

Really? [Pause. Consideration.] Then how do you exist? Wait, don't tell me. Your planet has a secret and strange ability to accelerate evolution!

[knightofcourage]

Maybe everything just took a long time on your world.

[inhumanity]

[He gasps.] What if you're right? Perhaps my world experiences time at a billionth the rate of other universes! When I go back home, I might discover that the world I once knew has passed me by and all has transformed into a strange place where nature is wiped out, smog covers the atmosphere, and children don't respect their parents!

[knightofcourage]

I don't think those are all possible at the same time.

[inhumanity]

I don't see why not. Perhaps the smog clouds have children.

[He doesn't even seem to think he's saying something ridiculous.]

[knightofcourage]

How would they do that?

[inhumanity]

It's not very polite to ask that sort of thing. I certainly never have. [Oh my GOD Emil, you can't just ask smog how it reproduces!]

[knightofcourage]

[He's stumped now.]

Of course.
