Well, it's supposed to lead to Alpha Centauri, but my IDIOT COLLEAGUE-

*Points to a spot of freshly-dug earth*

*Sighs and calms down*

-Went and broke it. And then shut it off, thinking he could usurp my spot after I was trapped. My faithful wife here-

*Points to Katerina*

-Took care of him and stole the code to reactivate it. Still, it was two years away from my family, my work, and my home.

@Tank O The Lake

But before I can get any further into that, I will need your name. Be truthful, else I will get my darling Alexandria to... compel you.

I wasn't sure. You weren't exactly fully transparent with it. Is it a dimensional gateway? Likely. Wouldn't be the first I've seen.

Traditionally? As homo sapiens, in most places I've seen.
*Holds a up a second finger*
Which loosely leads into point two. I'm not just "not human", I'm from another dimension. You guys conceptualized multiverse theory here yet?

@Armed Forces

*Cocks my head in confusion*

What do you think the Gateway does?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I mean. that's what *points to desired object* is for. But I understand where you're coming from, completely. Either he learns human language or he secretly is incredibly intelligent for his species and was just pulling an ill-thought-out practical joke (smart FOR THE SPECIES).

@Tank O The Lake

Yeah, he's like that caveman character from Night at the Museum where he doesn't speak or understand English but he can still get his point across.

I like all of these. Nice chars.

@Fractured

Thanks!

Sure, I just mean that I'm trying to figure out how communication could happen in an IC-way (i.e. it wouldn't be that hard in a show context, but given that we're writing, being unable to understand the words of either party may grow difficult).

What do you define as 'human' then? Because I would define you as just like me.

@Tank O The Lake

Unless, of course, you proved otherwise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Not quite. My race is an offshoot of humanity, from another world. Similar, though. Very similar.

So the gateway is not a normality for you?
*Chuckles*
Then maybe you're right, one surreal experience begets the believability of more.
*Pulls my hand from my pocket and raises a finger*
Firstly, I'm not human.
