	That's some secret to keep, though. For all this time, too. I dunno if I can ever truly forgive you. [ As if there's anything to forgive. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I maybe shouldn't tell you that gardening is an art that originated in Russia. If I did, you would never forgive me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-02-14 10:45 am UTC (link)
	[ He shrugs. ] I ain't even heard of Russia before I met you. For all I know it's a made up place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He is aghast. Much too dramatically so for the horror to be sincere.] How can you doubt its existence after everything I've told you about it? I'm not that imaginative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-02-15 09:18 am UTC (link)
	That's exactly th' kinda thing someone would say if they tried to make me believe in a made up place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't need to stay here and be insulted like this... but I will since I have no place else to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-02-26 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	Ain't got much to do either, huh? If nothin' happens soon, I fear I might turn this entire place into farmland. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-03-09 12:32 am UTC (link)
	That wouldn't be such a bad thing. It would give me incentive to learn how to do this well. [Not that he's picking carrots poorly. He's so good at this. He's practically a farmer now, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-03-09 05:25 am UTC (link)
	[ Sure. You got to start somewhere. Aidan was also an expert carrot picker when he was five. ] Y'ever think that we'll run out of supplies? Because I think 'bout that all th' time. I know it's all fake, but... shit happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[So Chekov is a little behind the curve. There's nothing but time to catch up.]

Sometimes, yes. I think a lot about data corruption and mechanical failure and what those things could mean for us. Maybe supplies stop regenerating themselves, or maybe we experience other glitches that worsen in severity, or maybe the simulation ends and we stay unconscious in stasis until the pods break, too.

	I still don't get how most of this works... shouldn't we be dead already, if all we eat is computer stuff? [ At least he's old enough now to be that weird old guy who shouts at technology. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When I'm from, there are stasis units that suspend cellular activity... they stop everything, and so living bodies emit no waste and don't need to be nourished. It would be difficult to place every part of a body other the brain in stasis, and even more difficult to keep the brain alive and fully functional, but it's possible theoretically.

[He's mostly thinking out loud for his own benefit since none of it matters and Old Man Aidan isn't going to ask him to elaborate on stasis fields.]

By rights, we should be dead. I have no idea how whatever keeps us alive is being maintained.

	[ Yeah no he understood about a fraction of what Chekov just said. Elaborations would just make his brain hurt, please no. ] So for all we know, we could wake up tomorrow an' be dead. [ Sounds pretty great actually. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-03-13 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, except we would be dead, so we wouldn't wake up. ...There are worse things than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-03-14 07:43 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. [ A heavy sigh, too heavy for carrot picking. ] Ain't sure which is worse, dyin' or never dyin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-03-15 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	[If his thoughts didn't regularly wander in this direction, he might have to be concerned.] All of us will die eventually, I'm certain of that. Even the immortals may not survive if the systems keeping us alive fail. When that will happen, though... [He shrugs and turns his full attention back to carrots.] We need to be content with our circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-03-19 08:39 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I guess. [ They have no choice but to be content. That's the problem that keeps him going in circles. ] So, everythin' alright with you an' Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-03-20 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	[He doesn't like it either, he just... can't think of anything to do about it.] Yes, yes. I think that I would have gone crazy by now without her. [He pauses thoughtfully.] I don't mean to rule out the possibility that I have already gone crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-03-24 06:25 am UTC (link)
	Not bad crazy, at least. Pretty sure there're several kinds. [ Man, he misses having someone to be crazy with. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-03-24 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	As long as I manage to never become the kind of crazy that encourages you to avoid me, that's fine. What else are you doing now, other than gardening and wondering about our eventual deaths? [Anything fun? There's got to be something fun.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-03-27 08:25 am UTC (link)
	's about it. Ain't much else going on around here... aside from Rebecca's dogs. [ Everything is boring and he thinks way too much. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
