I'm curious. Has anyone ever tried to go beyond the wall and see what's out there? Map it out maybe?

I haven't mapped anything out but I've done a little surveying. Mostly it's just more jungle and more dinosaurs so far.

But, I can also fly, so I wouldn't really recommend trying to do it yourself without some back up.

Surveying, huh? Is that what you're calling it now?

It sounds more professional than dino spotting.

Of course, honey. It's very professional.

Just admit you're a giant nerd for dinosaurs. It's cute.

Isn't everyone a little bit of a nerd for dinosaurs? They're almost as cool as aliens.

That's disappointing. Or encouraging, depending how you look at it.

Handy trick. Don't think I'll be venturing anywhere...unfortunately.

It's a mostly untouched world. Pretty incredible, even if it's not home.

Kara or I could always go with you sometime if you really want to get out there. We can't be hurt by much.

A few people have done some exploring, or just gone out to punch dinosaurs in the face, but that's mostly just the people with powers.

And there was one time the barriers sort of got destroyed a bit by me, because I suck at life and some of the dinosaurs got into the city.

Not sure about mapping it out though. It's a lot of jungle, so far as anyone's seen.

Punching dino's in the face? And I thought I had anger issues.

I missed all the excitement? Damn.

Sounds like, from what I'm hearing. Thanks for filling me in.

I'm fine. Certain people are just overprotective and paranoid and I swear to god if I don't get to run soon, I am going to take a page out of your book and blow something up. I don't like being stuck near him

You could always go see for yourself. Which, probably, isn't the best advice but you could still do it. I would just prefer it if nothing ate you.

So now you're saying I should? Haha, I would also like to not be eaten..in the literal sense anyway.

My curiousty of it is gone for now. I found something pretty to burn instead.

I wasn't really saying you shouldn't go before. My real concern is you never coming back because a dinosaur ate you. At least we agree on that part. The not being eaten in a literal sense. Or the you not being eaten in the literal sense. I don't want to be eaten in the literal sense either but... I'm going to shut up now.

You burned something?

Ray..shorter sentences.

If I do decide to go out there I have two superhumans you've offered to play tour guide/body guard. Which is something I'd normally pass on, but in this instance, I might accept.

If you look outside, I'm sure you'll see the smoke. And before you say it, I'm fine, it's contained, don't worry. I just needed to let off steam.

It's pretty, and the dinosaurs are pretty cool, but I haven't seen a lot that isn't just land and dinos. I'd take you to see, but I know you said you don't like to fly. I could take pictures?

No problem.

I could go out on foot with you sometime, if you change your mind. I'm a pretty good bodyguard. Not that you're not capable on your own probably but they have a lot of teeth. And are extremely big.

Smart ass.

Daisy mentioned punching dinosaurs just for the hell of it, and I'm starting to see the appeal. Does that answer your question?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]chillout
2016-06-18 12:10 am UTC (link)
Always.

There are other things to punch besides dinosaurs. Find yourself a sparring partner with fewer teeth and maybe not as many super powers. But there are always other ways to spend all that energy.

[Mick]
I'm sure we could also find somerhing expendable to burn if that still works.

I don't think I'd ever really punch a dinosaur, maybe burn them..but only for food, or protection. I like animals.

Sparring with superhumans sounds bad for me, and sparring with anyone else sounds bad for them with the way I'm feeling right now. Just tought I'd do everyone a favor and steer clear for a while. That's why I asked what's beyond the wall.

You might want to stay clear yourself. I'm not in a gentle mood.

Len
Already ahead of ya partner.

Roasted dinosaur. Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe you need to bring home a stray, instead.

Doing us a favor implies we don't actually want you around even if you're in a bad mood. I don't think I'm the only one who would call bull shit on that these days. And I'm pretty sure someone like Sara could go to to toe with you.

Is that a request or a suggestion? Not that either usually stops me. You don't usualky do gentle anyway, Mick.

[Mick]
Of course you are. Don't go getting yourself injured. I've been at the hospital enough lately and I hear the Jell-O is crap.

Would you prefer dino pops? I'm sure they can't taste that bad. It's gotta be better than prison food.

A stay what, dinosaur? If only this place had dragons.

I'm not saying she couldn't. But I was more murderous than playful sparring earlier. It's passed..for now. It was like the rage I'd felt as Chronos all over again, only less directed.

Good point. You never listen anyway. I meant even less gentle than my usual.

Len
Don't worry, it doesn't get me quiet like it use to, still just as pretty though. You don't see the smoke?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]chillout

Dinosaurs are more closely related to birds than lizards. For all I know they taste like chicken. Anything's better than prison food.

I was thinking smaller. Like cat. We eat regular food here. So there's livestock. There have to be cats and dogs too.

I think she can handle murderous, too. But I get what you're saying.

Again, not usually a deterrent where you're concerned. Easy to deal with when you grew up in the school of hard knocks, remember?

Mick
I see it now. Just remember to clear out before you get caught. It's been a while since I had to plan a prison break.

Sounds good to me.

You think I should get a cat? I don't think I've owned a pet since I was a kid. Haven't been settled anywhere long enough to have one. But we had cats on the farm. Before I set the place on fire.

Len
This whole place is a giant prison..

I'll let you know if I wver feel the need to fire some up.

Why not? Sara and Nyssa have a collection. And cats don't need as much care as dogs. Baby steps. Might break up some of the monotony for you.

Mick
It's maddening at first. Just living. We haven't played it normal in 30 years. It gets better. Easier. You find ways to distract yourself. But maybe it's easier for me now that I don't have anything to go back to. I'm sure you'll get back to heroics wirh Raymond and the others before you know it. This place always sends people back. Until then think less about the walls and more about what's worth paying attention to inside of them.

Len, it's not like I have a lot to go back to either. You're here. Ray, and most of the teams here. It's more what you said about actually living than wanting to be anywhere else. I'm just not use to it. We've always had a plan, even when we had to lay low.

But I think you're right..just gonna take some time. Which, apparently we have lots of. I started going to the gym everyday. I'm working on cars now, and somehow found my way into some form of fight club. Plus, burning down that building really did help. You know I've always taken longer to adapt than you.

I know I'm just being bitter. It's been a long few weeks and it gets to me. You deserve better from me.

But I meant what I said. About living. It's not so bad once you get used to it. You find more reasons to actually be agreeable. Bring people into your circle. Practically domesticate. But not completely. That wouldn't be any fun.

Fight club eh? Sounds like something worth watching. Not so much participating, for me. And I know you have. Doesn't mean you don't do it well. You have a habit of selling yourself short, Mick.

What's making you bitter, Len? I mean, I know you've been stressed about Barry, which is why I've just tried to give you some space. But is everything else okay?

Did Leonard Snart just use the word domesticate? We definitely aren't in Kansas anymore. I'm still not sure how to do that..but I guess I'm gonna have to guve it a shot.

I'll let you know when and where it goes down. Was just glad to know I wasn't the only one who solves boredom with fist fights, Haha.

Maybe I do. Less chance to let people down that way.

It's nothing I don't want to talk about
Ever think about what happens when you all get sent back? Because it's probably going to happen. Then it's just me. Or maybe I get sent back too and that's it. I don't regret what I did because you and everyone else are alive. But I don't.. have to like it. Just eats at me sometimes. Seeing Barry in the hospital just made me think about what it'll be like when he's gone too. I'll get over it. I always do. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

He did. And we won't talk about it ever again.

Oh you're definitely not. There are plenty of hard heads around here.

You shouldn't.

All the goddamn time.
I worry about you being left here just as much as I do about going back to world you're no longer in. We're survivors. We always have been. So I know we'll manage, but it doesn't make the facts any easier.

My lips are sealed.

I'm starting to notice. Which honestly is a nice change up from all these hero types. Even if I did find a few I could tolerate.
