Day 1 Night

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

And yet, there is a logic about his appearance that typically does not appear in real people.

Would anyone survive with that level of mechanical implantation, do you think?

[personal profile] dedoctionist 2013-04-09 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No way, not where we're from.

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. Even assuming technology advanced far enough to achieve the same effect, there is something bombastic about his design all the same.

[personal profile] dedoctionist 2013-04-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly leaves an impression ...

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And the turtles. Clearly fictional, yes?

[personal profile] dedoctionist 2013-04-09 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but here they are.
beeductionist: (HMMMMM)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ nods! ]

I wonder, then, if all of us might be fictional in one way or another.

... Like Michelangelo said you were a TV character?
beeductionist: (believe it or not)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, I believe we may be a special case, but yes - the same concept applies.

[personal profile] dedoctionist 2013-04-09 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would we be special compared to that guy?

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Because we are so fictional that we have multiple adaptations.

[... that makes her pause]

You see it too, don't you?

All the differences he talked about, the hat and pipe ...
beeductionist: (unattractive)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-09 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
And your gender, for that matter. All point to a modern revision of whatever story we originate from.

[personal profile] dedoctionist 2013-04-10 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
... At least our story is popular enough to warrant adaptions?
beeductionist: (believe it or not)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-10 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
And old enough to warrant multiple changes. Given that one person has mentioned reading us and the other knows us from black-and-white television, I estimate that we must originate from before the 1930s at least.

[... can't even deal with that statement right now]
beeductionist: (welp)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-10 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Curious bit of anachronism, that.
beeductionist: (watch out we got a badass)

[personal profile] beeductionist 2013-04-10 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly we have our work cut out for us.
