[It's been more than a week since the AU experiment had ended and for the most part, Alexei has actively pushed aside most of what had happened. Although, for the last week Alexei had continued to visit the orchard. He'd been a bit sleep deprived since the experiment ended and thanks to those memories that were planted in him, the orchard gave him the false impression that it was helping him. It was not just because he was falsely given memories that admittedly left an impact on him, but because near the end of the experiment he continuously saw himself dead in his dreams.

Since he arrived to Luceti, he had been denying his own death. He simply had the delusion that he may have just been spared in some way. A dead person shouldn't be breathing, feel hungry or pain. Who the hell was he fooling though, it did happen to him. It was over, whether he wanted it to or not. The realization just didn't hit him until now. He didn't have a choice anymore, Luceti was all he had now. He could care less for this world though. It would only be a matter of time before he's sent back to his grave. It's not the first time he was thrown back there from here. Even if he didn't remember, it still happened. So what was the point? Give up? ... No, that isn't like him to do that. He just didn't have a reason to care. He couldn't even confide with someone he once considered a friend. They were years apart now and a lot has happened between those times. She would not understand.

There were still so many things he wanted to do, so many things left unfinished back home... tch, even if he had survived, he would have been screwed. His plan had failed. He would have to answer to the Empire and his penalty may as well have been death for the number of crimes he had committed. All for the good of the world... he wondered if that world was worth saving at this point.

Maybe that was why he couldn't ignore the experiment. A life he could have had. Yes, the him in that still had difficult times... but it gave him a family and a new purpose. It was...somewhat refreshing. ]

[Today Alexei decided to spend his afternoon time underneath one of the mikan trees in the orchard. He had a few books with him, something, anything to keep his mind off of his own predicament and that previous experiment.

There was a book on machines and another on origami, which no doubt he only picked it up because of another false memory. It turned out to be something he could actively do besides training. It was like a puzzle. He made himself another pinwheel, just to see if he could still actually do it. Now he wanted to try more complicated shapes. Another reason why he had a book on machinery, to give him ideas of what to make. He could always try and make a little origami Murder machine... still, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask for some ideas.]

[Voice]

Tell me about what sort of interesting technology exist in your worlds. Things you commonly use, vehicles of transportation, war machines and the like.

[After spending a couple hours relaxing in the orchard, he will start to make his way out and head back to the apartment with a work in progress Murder folded in his book. He comes to a halt as he came closer to where the shed was. There were signs of a struggle. Items were in disarray, barrels turned over and it just looked like a big mess, more so than usual. Now that he thought about it, he hasn't seen Nami the last few times he's been here. She was a regular in the orchard as much as he was, but he didn't think much of her absence. They may have just been lucky at missing one another for all he knew. He leans against the shed and opens his journal. He could just ignore he ever saw this, but...this could actually play to his advantage. He's at least aware of two of her crew mates he can contact.]

[Voice - 100% filtered to Zoro and Sanji]

Have either of you seen Nami?

[survivethesiren]

We have tanks...recognizers...light cycles, light runners.

All run on energy.

[voice]

[fallenambitions]

Light cycles? Runners?

I could use some sort of visual reference.

Also this energy...is it some sort of limitless type of energy?

[NOT ACTUALLY THERE]

[trueknight]

[Yuri already knew Alexei was in Luceti, so when he finally hears him speak out over the journal ...

... well, all the entry gets is a dry look before he flips to a new page, ignoring it entirely. Yuri's been in Luceti so long that, as long as Alexei stays away from him and the others living with him, he really doesn't care anymore. He's too busy needing a hobby, anyway.

So yes. He's noted your existence, Alexei. Something like that. Congrats, I guess.]

[intangible-girl.livejournal.com]

My father invented a device that allows me to phase through solid objects. Unfortunately it hasn't shown up here yet.

[fallenambitions]

I've...never heard of such a device capable of doing that. What does it look like?

[dakingofawesome.livejournal.com]

Clown Copter. [Yeah. It's boss.]

[fallenambitions]

[...what?] I know what clowns look like, but a copter?

[The whole 'war machines' thing is a bit off putting, but she won't voice it.]

What do you mean by 'interesting'?

voice;

[fallenambitions]

Technology that is unique to your world. It can be anything you feel like sharing.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[...] We have air ships. I-It doesn't seem like many people have those, so...

[Voice]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Huh? [...what was she talking about again? There's something about that voice that sparks her attention away from the primary question. ...yeah. She knows that voice, but from where?]

Do I... know you?

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

[Did somebody ask about technology? How is Robert going to ignore this?

Oh, well, the war machine part kind of disturbs him. Okay, it disturbs Robert a lot. But he doesn't ask about it...]

Terran technology is myriad and complex, but the most interesting things to discuss would probably be the nanocomputers. The Malnosso were considerate enough to at least let me have one here.

... What exactly would you be interested in knowing, though? Much of Terran technology is significantly ahead of the technology here.

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

[He's totally gonna make war machines, out of paper, that'll actually work.]

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing what sort of technology and devices are utilized by common folk everyday, but I'm curious about these nanocomputers that you brought up.

[NOT REALLY HERE EITHER.]

[formerhero.livejournal.com]

[sherpahat.livejournal.com]

Television.

[A few days without it. He's stumped. He's distraught. He needs his Spanish Soap Operas]

[fallenambitions]

Television...?

[Also not here]

[crisisrain]

[Yes, because asking about what types of war machines people had in their homeworlds definitely doesn't raise any suspicions with Raven what-so-ever.

Not even going to bother poking a response, Alexei knew more about Terca Lumitech than this old man ever did.]

[doubleppk]

Helicopters, autogyros, airplanes, tanks, trucks, cars, machine guns, motorcycles, pretty much anything available!

[fallenambitions]

[good lord, he barely recognized any of those terms]

More than half of those I have never even heard of. Tanks and machine guns I'm familiar with and I did read a few things on airplanes.

[Voice]

[...Zoro doesn't want to answer this. He doesn't want to talk about Nami with anyone who's not Nami, and she was taken before he could come to terms enough with that experiment for them to deal with anything. He doesn't want to answer this.

But no one else is going to.]

...She's not here.

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

[Not here...]

Was she taken?

[Voice]

[wantsfriedbread.livejournal.com]

[Tyria was going to answer without a problem, but then "war machines" was put in there. That. That is kind of odd to use as an example. So--]

Those are strange examples to use. Are you planning on building a tank here?

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

[Maybe. Out of paper.]

No. I doubt I could actually build one here. [And if it turns out he can, he's not going to say it in public.] I've had some experience with machines made for war in my line of work, so I was curious to hear what other technology out there existed.

[daisy023]

Slipspace technology, Biofoam, Magnetic Accelerator Cannons, and Artificial Intelligences.

[Beat. It seems to be technology exclusive to her world so far.]

Faster-than-light travel across star systems, tissue-regenerating antibacterial foam, coilguns that accelerate a projectile to high velocities, and sentient programs with countless applications.

[fallenambitions]

[.....damn.]

I presume, this is all technology that develop along with space travel in your world?
