[ Voice ]

So, who here's heard of dinosaurs?

[ He's been reading Michael Crichton lately, sue him. Also, he genuinely wonders how many not-Earth people have, given a lot of animals do seem similar between a lot of worlds, but... dinosaurs though. ]

[ Well, there are normal staples of Masaomi's day: you can see him working the Convenience Store if you want, you can see him shopping for clothes, you can see him in the library (perhaps picking up some books in the aforementioned dinosaurs), or training (in a tank top and shorts) at the Battle Dome. At the end of the day you might also see him going to HQ for the end of the night.

But... something else is at the Dome today fore someone who wants special stuff. Namely, once he's tired and sweaty and Linda has worked herself hard, Masaomi is still using his room, but he's using it to project images of all sorts of dinosaurs based on a picture book that he picked up at the library. To see them in motion, because why wouldn't you try to do something like that? ]

You were laughing at it, which means you think something about it is funny. So what is it?

You... don't want me to answer that.

[ Snicker ]

It's because you think it looks dumb, isn't it?

[Rude.]

No, the hat looks good.

[ OKAY SERIOUSLY.

He makes to tap on the door to the room he's using ]

[Emil shoots him an unsure look, but it's hard to stay angry for long when there are dinosaurs to be excited about.]

Is everything set up? Are the dinosaurs in there?

As promised! Once we open up the door here we'll be back several million years!

And they're not going to eat us, right?

[You know, just making sure.]

Don't worry, promise. Safety's even on.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's go see them!

[He's practically bouncing at this point.]

Here I was hoping you'd open it.

[ But he laughs here, and opens the door to her! Alright, alright! And it opens to -- a jungle. It's much hotter in there, much more humid and... curiously, there's also a somewhat higher oxygen level, so it might make you feel a little bit loopy ]

[It takes several seconds for the heat and humidity to kick in enough for Emil to really start feeling the effects; once he does, he takes a couple of steps back into the cooler air of the hallway to get a few deep breaths of non-humid air.]

... is it supposed to be like that? It's making me a little dizzy...

Yeah, it's weird, huh...? I could technically kill it, but going by the books I was working with, dinosaurs used to live back in air like this. You get used to it, but it still feels weird.

[ Plus the safeties are securely on. They won't die or even pass out here, because the program won't let them get hurt. So it should auto-adjust? Maybe? Or at least wouldn't let him make it if it'll kill them.

Either way, he steps on in now. Let's head into the bush, so to speak ]

[Emil takes a another of the cooler hall air, then steps inside again. Okay... okay, this isn't so bad now that he's prepared for it. He can deal with this. He thinks.]

I guess it's like how fish can live underwater. They've adapted to their surroundings, huh?

Exactly. Same principle of how when I train, I try to do it in twice Earth's gravity. Humanity... no, actually, all species that survive learn to adapt to what's thrown at them. After all, if they didn't, they wouldn't live.

[ He exhales some to himself, as he takes in a deep breath of the warm, oxygen-rich air here. It still makes him feel a little light headed, but he's trying to be cool ] That's evolution, right?

Right. I remember reading about that in some books before. It kind of makes you wonder why the dinosaurs didn't survive, though.

[But that's a topic for another discussion-- right now he just wants to go see them for himself.

Which means he's going to start into the jungle very slowly and cautiously, looking around to make sure there isn't anything close by.]

And here I'm thankful they didn't. Otherwise, wouldn't I have scales?

[ This is said with a sense of humor, coming on in too. He starts to walk through the underbrush here (not that there is much - a lot of the plants seem to be centered up high in the trees) and looks around him. There's a lot of sounds (particularly once he closes the door behind Emil) but there doesn't seem to be one in the immediate area. Yet ]

You might also have fangs and claws too. That would be kind of cool... but I guess you're right. I like dinosaurs, but I'm not sure I would want to be one.

[He's keeping his eyes open for any that might happen to be nearby, just in case they overheard what he was saying and took it as an insult. At least the plants here aren't too thick, making it both easy to walk through and easy to see if anything is trying to sneak up on them.]
