Constellation 03

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur has been riding his bike on the Plane. He has no particular destination in mind, but seems to be simply riding around. He comes to a stop in front of the Astral bar, looking at his watch.]

That's about  two hours worth of riding, and I still don't seem to reach an end. Considering I've been keeping up an average pace of about thirty two kilometers per hour, riding out for half an hour longer each day, and today's the twenty eight.....that's a hundred and sixty kilometers, and still haven't reached some sort of end.

[ooc: Unofficial birthday post! According to records, December 28th is Eddington's birthday. Unfortunately, he happens to be Quaker, and thus doesn't celebrate it. Still, I figured it deserved a post~]

[Yasako's here with Densuke.]

You biked that far, sir? Really?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I bike often, it's a sort of hobby of mine.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I haven't used my bike in awhile. I mostly walk places. But I can't believe this place is that big...

Um...have I met you before?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It seems almost infinite at times.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Arthur Eddington.

[He recognises the bicycle, but has never seen one being used before.] Oh, so that's how you work them.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

The bicycle, you mean?

[ofalzarius.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Are you unfamiliar with them?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Have the constellations repeated themselves at all during your riding?

[looks around at the Plane]

I wonder, since the locations of quite a few seem a bit off. Maybe it just repeats itself after a while. Looping around on itself, giving the illusion of endless space.

For the most part I was riding too fast to really get a good look, but they don't seem to repeat.

They are somewhat inaccurate, for the most part, but I assumed a lot of it had to do with the fact that I was considering their positions as viewed from Earth.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Still, even considering other locations, they all seem a bit off.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I certainly don't doubt that it's artificial.

[lamb_of_gold]

Traveling?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

You could say that, yes.

[lamb_of_gold]

Wherever to?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Nowhere in particular, really. Just trying to find the end.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Looks amused, leaning near the door of the bar.] I've been thinking something similar, myself. Just upwards. It just can't be infinite.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I considered height, but thought I should stick with something I could measure more easily.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about a few experiments to see how deep this space is. Any conclusions you've come to on distance?

[happy birthday, Arthur! the TARDIS appears on the Plane, bringing with her this mastiff puppy (http://www.martinmastiff.com/dog%20info/mastiff%20x/Rocko_2.jpg) for you!]

Arthur Eddington. I trust this suits your needs?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur grins at the puppy, leaning down to pet him] Oh, he's a big fellow. Going to get even bigger, which might be troublesome down the line.

But he's a good-looking dog, healthy. [smiles up at the Tardis] Thank you.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[just watches him with his new pet and smiles] You requested a canine. I have brought you the largest one I was capable of finding on short notice.

[One flicks on and stands idle, as if waiting for something, and happens to overhear Arthur. He turns his head placidly and, with a twitch to his mouth that could imply some kind of amusement, monotones]

Imagination knows no bounds.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Imagination is one thing, reality is another.

[he's cracking up on the inside, but still speaks without inflection.]

Is it.
