lacey burrows, ~desmond hume

Hello ~~Islanders~~ everyone.

My name's Desmond, some of you I may have met at some point, some of you may have met me at some point, and if we're really lucky the two might even cross over and we'll actually have met each other. (Time travel is messy.)

Anyway, I'm here for however long I'm here, and I'm sure I can at least offer some of you friendship, but more specifically, the skills I have to offer that may or may not be transferable to a space station.

- I can sail pretty well.
- I am good with my hands, and I can have a good go at most carpentry work.
- I know basic emergency first aid.
- I have a religious background, and although I am clearly not a member of the monastery anymore, in the absence of any priest/minister/rabbi/whatever, I am happy to listen and advise firstly, and perhaps on a more "useful" note, I have conducted christenings, weddings, funerals etc for islanders in the past (and in the future).
- I did a six month detail with the military in disarming munitions. Hopefully that'll not come in handy, but you never know.
- On a similar note, I can handle most firearms well.

Other than that... I don't know, but if you're in need I'll try to help with pretty much anything I can.

I also like wine, scotch, old records, and a good game of football (soccer). On a more sociable note.

	I was taught to always respect... well anyone. And while I don't normally like to tell people this, I think it's okay now because we're out of that timeline, you let me study you. But you were probably much older. So much development of stuff happened. And even if my parent's didn't teach me that, I'd definitely respect someone that allowed so much discovery.

	You were going to say 'elders', weren't you? You were definitely going to say elders. That's... really interesting actually. I probably shouldn't ask too many questions about what you discovered, even if the curiosity is going to kill me, but you must be someone I really trusted if we came to that agreement. So that's... pretty good to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I was! But that's only because my memory of you is one that is definitely older than me, but I'm not sure if you're an elder now.

No you probably shouldn't, but mostly because I babble. Not a lot of people can follow me, I'm holding back because of that, not because the alteration of time, because who knows? Maybe it is because of my science babble that you trusted me.

I was about to tell you my age, and then I realised that I don't even know how to begin calculating that anymore. So let's just say you don't have to call me Mr Hume?

I know what you mean. I've been told plenty of things that I wasn't meant to know yet to send me on the right path. It could be that something you tell me now is important for that agreement to come about. No way of knowing, really. I do tend to just get stuck in a cycle until it clicks, but that gets annoying.

	Alright, Desmond. I can't promise you it will be a smooth transition but I will make a conscious effort not to call you Mr. Hume. I understand how frustrating it can be. Especially with as many timelines as this place has. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No bother, I won't be offended either way. Oh aye, I just say that I now travel forwards, backwards and sideways. Very Willy Wonka. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've always been so nice, which is why I've got to try. Oh god I know! I can't do it like you do, I have to have gadgets, but when you're trying to get to a specific point in time in a specific timeline it is a major pain in the butt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good. I'm glad I didn't get old and jaded and bitter, at least. Well, see, that's interesting right away. I don't know how to aim for a specific point of a specific timeline. Yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's very inspiring, that you hadn't. It took a lot of jumping to figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
