Rose: Answer.
Why Is It That When The Subject Of Temporal Mechanics Is Broached Your Sparing Human Intellects Instantly Assume The Most Ingratiating Posture Of Surrender Imaginable Time Is Not That Difficult To Understand It Is A Utility That A Universe May Resort To In Order To Advance A Desired Degree Of Complexity Or May Not Resort To If That Is The Case Its All Pretty Pedestrian But No When Time Travel Comes Up You Present The Face That A Man Shows When The Breeze Gradually Alerts Him To His Absence Of Netherdressings I Dont See How We Are To Properly Agitate You All If You Continue To Insist On Failing To Understand Basic Concepts Which Common Infants Effortlessly Manage To Describe Via Scrawlings In Their Own Puddles Of Sloppy Discharge Have we spoken before? Yes In The Future You and your friends never cease to invent ways to strengthen the credibility of your assertions. Oh My It Is Your Human Sarcasm Again I Enjoy Listening To It And I Wish Doing So Could Serve As My Primary Form Of Recreation There See I Just Did It Too Saying The Opposite Thing To Emphasize My Contempt But Suddenly I Feel More Primitive And Hate Myself A Little More It Was Like This Funny Miracle That Just Happened In My Heart I would admire the sophistication of you and your fellow future-dwellers a little more if you seemed to be aware the word "human" only functions as that sort of adjective in bad science fiction. But I won't be rude and change the subject. There's a still a bit of unflagellated straw poking out of your rhetorical effigy over here. Oh Dear No We Arent From "The Future" But We Are All Already In Agreement That You Dont Get It And Never Will I thought you said we spoke in the future. We Did Your Future For Me It Was Only A Couple Minutes Ago I understand. You exist in some temporal stratum through which you have communication access to various points of my timeline. It's not that complicated. Yes Thats Right Will You Try To Talk Some Sense Into Your Idiot Friends So That We May Proceed To Bother Them All On More Rational Terms I try to every day, with mixed results. But you see, it's not that I don't understand you. It's just that I don't believe you. Because it's nonsense. Albeit persistent and coordinated nonsense. Why would a bunch of temporally dislocated trolls want to harass a group of friends throughout completely random points in time? I Will Admit This Campaign Of Provocation Wasnt All That Well Thought Out Dont Tell Anyone I Said That Alright. Maybe you should get some trolling tips from us humans. Our sparing intellects are probably better suited to it. Yeah Maybe Why Dont We Be Friends You want to be my friend? I Think So I Think Were Supposed To You Suggested As Much Earlier You mean I did in the future? Yes A Couple Minutes Ago Probably because I remembered you mentioning it in the conversation we're having now? Thats Likely Hmm. Your commitment to this roleplaying scenario is intriguing. What choice do I have but to accept?
