It worked! I'm here again! I thought it'd all been a dream, but I knew somehow that I'd be able to reach out like that and touch this place...

[with a small, bemused grin on his face]

Say what you want about it, it's beautiful here. It's a lot different to see the stars without anything in the way.

I see you (or sense you?) other people out there. Has that Meredith lady made an appearance? She didn't answer my questions the last time!

Really? Do you have a ship?

Yeah, I'd say it's frustrating! What sort of a person just dumps everyone into the middle of nowhere like this?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I do, yes. In fact she's not far from that shop.

Someone very bored, I expect. This is why the powerful shouldn't be allowed to be idle.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

[excitedly] That's amazing! Then you must be from Earth?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'm on Earth, yes. They've not developed space travel yet, in this period.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

... what?

How's that even possible? If there's no space travel, how do you have it?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'm only visiting. Surely you don't believe Earth is the only other planet in the universe?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Of course not!...

... So that makes you an alien?!

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[amused smile]

To you, yes.

Are you human?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

That's kind of crazy to think about. I've never met anyone that didn't originate from Earth, or at least their grandparents did...

What do I look like?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Really? Perhaps you simply didn't realise.

[chuckle]

What do I look like?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

You ... look human to me.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Quite a lot of races have a humanoid form - that's down to my people, actually, being present as the universe was still developing.

There do tend to be key differences, of course.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that your people influenced the evolution of so many races? ... I'm not sure what to think about that.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I am, yes. Not intentionally, of course.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Well, accidents happen! Even on, er, universal scales.
