(x2) Agreed. The full moon out tonight is just lovely. I suppose some things, like heavenly bodies, are the same in all worlds. Incredible to think people on the other side of the earth, thousands of years ago, looked at the same moon as me.

(x3) Wait, what? It is? Wow, I guess we aren't so different after all. It's a small multiverse after all?

The moon is lovely here. It's nice to look at. I imagine that if there is extraterrestrial life out there, it's possible that they could live on moons.

So you're finally admitting that you're a human and not an alien, "Alien Queen"?

Hey! That's just a title!

I'm confused. Why do you call yourself an alien if you're not really one?

Ehh, my pink appearance led some of my friends to call me an alien, even though I'm a human. We had a good laugh about that joke for a while. I also happen to be interested in cosmology, astrophysics, exoplanets and stuff, so the "Alien Queen" title kind of stuck.

[1] [2] Looked it up out of curiosity, and yep, it's a thing in my homeworld too. Still interesting stuff!

[3] Welcome back! It's been a while, hasn't it?

[4] In my opinion, the idea that people thousands of years ago might have been looking at a different moon - even if it's an unfounded idea - is more interesting, because it implies that at some point, the moon must've drastically changed. Maybe it's an idea that could fit into pop media?

[1] Well, well, well. If it isn't Ultra Magnus. Wasn't expecting your face around here, aren't you usually busy having a stick stuck in your tailpipe?

Gil, Tarvek, I've got a question. What's the simplest, safest and/or quickest way to test if a certain substance is toxic to a certain organism?

Depends on the context.
If you mean in a lab: test the substance on something closely resembling the organism's body or it's immune system.
If you mean in action: look really carefully at the part where you were bitten or stabbed for anything unusual.

Is this a test of our sanity? Because, by Spark standards, we're relativ—

Sorry I'm late. My answer is: ingest it yourself and see what happens.

OK— I'm relatively stable.

Oh, no, it's not a sanity test! Stefan just called me, said he wanted to throw a birthday party in a universe that all the guests are compatible with, and he also wanted to cook all the dishes himself. And I'm worried what food might or might not be edible for different people.
I guess an approach would be to give the guests very low doses of test substances and gradually increasing the doses to "conventional" concentrations, or until the guest starts experiencing symptoms? If I want to take that approach, now would probably be a good time to start. Idk who Stefan is planning to invite, though, and he's currently busy

Birthday parties are awesome, but I don't really have time to attend this semester due to a very large course workload. U.A. has a lot of technical, mathematical and science classes that are quite difficult. I was barely able to submit yesterday's computer science assignment by the deadline. I'll let you know if I'm available for a party, though.

Yeah, sometimes schoolwork really gets in the way of everything else. I also have a difficult physics assignment that's due in 3 days, trying to complete as much of it as possible...

Birthday parties, ooh! They're always so much fun, my birthday is coming soon (30th of this month).

Like every time I think about parties, I think of last year how we were a bunch of looney party animals especially when the thread goes crazy.

I have to test the toxicity of substances on the regular, being in a field where waste products of alchemy exist. I typically measure it using LD50 on Sweet Flowers altered by Sucrose. However, I understand that bio-alchemically altered Sweet Flowers are not particularly common.

Gonna head to the river and swim for an hour or two for an exercise.

Good luck. Me and Marnie are gonna go hiking up Mount Lanakila to train.

So you visit Marnie's world via some sort of wormhole?

Yep, an ultra wormhole to be exact.

Solgaleo and Lunala can open these types of wormholes for interdimensional travel.

Hey, do you mind if I take a look at the wormhole? I know that my kind already has a method for IU travel, but we're always looking for ways to improve efficiency.

I don't mind at all. I can lend you my Solgaleo for as long as you need, so you can create as many ultra wormholes as needed.

[1] Hey, who says we aren't still party animals?

Well sis, at least we don't clog up the thread with massive walls of text anymore lol.

Hey, Marnie? I think you should probably tell him about the fact that if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, travelling via Ultra Wormholes has a tendency to short-circuit your brain and you end up with total amnesia. It’s not exactly a casual train ride.

Thanks for reminding me about that. Anyway, I think it's best you prepare for any possible side effects and do everything you can to mitigate them.

Also, I’ve been absent for a long time. I had a few months of cleaning up other people’s mess, and then I just… forgot about this thread.

Speaking of old memories, I do remember seeing others from the Pokemon world on here long time ago outside the group Marnie is usually seen with.

Talk about nostalgia, I remember that girl named Rose appearing too occasionally.

(x12)

Oh, really now? That birthday party sounds like it'd be great! I assume we'd have time, assuming nothing unexpected happens on our side.

Your system seems not too different from inoculation, so yes, I'd be open to starting that process today (as would Sturmvoraus). Do you know how it'll work?

(x2)

Oh, nice to see you again, Your Highness! It's "N," isn't it?

In case you don't remember me, I'm Tarvek. Prince Sturmvoraus. I believe we've met before.

Also, I don't believe you've met my colleague Wulfenbach here. Everyone calls him Gil.

Edited by m-95 on Mar 8th 2023 at 11:15:58 AM

My name is N, yes. But the only people who ever called me “Your Highness” were terrorists. I try to distance myself from that part of my life. I would much prefer you drop the title.

Oh, I'm sorry, N! I just heard you were a king and wanted to get it right . . . my apologies. I didn't know you felt that way.

My father mostly just called royals "knucklehead," but I feel you wouldn't like that either, N.

At one point in time, I was the “king” (read: poster boy) of Team Plasma… which was a front for a terrorist organization. I was completely unaware of that fact, but I still don’t exactly enjoy being reminded of that part of my past (especially knowing that it also involved brainwashing and child neglect).

[1] I hope I won't strain your Solgaleo too much - maybe I can do some tests for one or two hours? I don't have a testing protocol ready yet, anyways.

[2] I'm not planning to send myself through, don't worry - the rough idea is to probe with unit materials like iron rods and/or identity crystals. Besides, I have backups, don't worry!

[3] Not sure if I've seen you before - either way, welcome back!

[4] I'll have to talk to Stefan once more about the specific dishes, but he said I can ask for people interested, and he'll have a guest list afterwards.
So, who wants to join?

[5] Yikes...
Anything I can do to help out on that front?

Sure, 1 or 2 hours is fine.

It's good to test things remotely instead of directly in the dangerous zones.

Edited by clemont107 on Mar 8th 2023 at 11:42:51 AM

I’d be interested in coming. I consider Stefan a friend.

Ooh! Ooh! Aether wants to come!

Paimon, you can’t just volunteer me to a birthday party for a person I don’t even know that well- oh, whatever.

It’s all in the past now. Team Plasma has been taken down, and I’ve been able to make up for my actions.
