Oh, don't worry, the Queen's Society has a much different approach to things. One major difference is that the other guys who wrote that journal are still alive.

But in seriousness, that journal I shared (that feels like forever ago) was by people from other fields trying out hard mathematics (and failing). Unlike the Queen's Society which has/had actual mathematicians.

Soo... the Queen's Society isn't really being taken seriously? What happened?

Probably some people opposed to mathematics tried to discredit them. That happens a lot in societies where mathematics are often seen as evil due to being too difficult.

I probably would disagree, but I would like to learn more about this situation, please.

From what I know about Tarvek's homeworld, I'd guess the answer is probably much wilder.

Oh, the answer is actually a lot simpler than that: most of the Queen's Society membership is dead.

I actually saw it all unfold myself, in-person. Those guys all seemingly chose the same day to backstab each other for their master plans. Agatha and I joined the Society just before it happened; we survived it because we weren't part of any of their nonsense. We even stopped a giant monster they summoned.

My joke earlier about there being a mathematics chair open was that, technically, all of their chairs are open. But I guess that joke requires context to work. Whoops.

Oh. Yikes.
I guess for the time being, the Queen's Society wouldn't be safe for me, even if it completely fell apart.

So, which queen is “The Queen’s Society” named after, out of curiosity?

Probably Queen Elizabeth, the queen of England? Don't know which one it would be though, in my homeworld it was Queen Elizabeth II (until her recent death).

Also, stupid joke:

Stefan has the right country, but the wrong name. The Queen in question is Albia of England. She's been Queen there for as long as we've had records of an England existing.
Before you ask: no, I don't know how she's still alive.

Ugh, this homework is so difficult. And my spine is hurting a lot. There's a part of it that keeps cracking, for some reason.

You okay, Mina? That sounds really serious.

Yes, I'm okay. Probably it's because I've been sitting too much recently trying to finish up homework assignments. Maybe I need to stretch out more and sit less.

   It's certainly is a good time of the year to do some stretching, it's so warm out there well at least where we live.   

   It's ahmost wike an earwy summah! I got a widdle sweady dis morning and had to get a dwink of cool milk.   

Small update on the transit system: We've realized that using space stations as intermediate connection points is not a good idea, because among other reasons, it's not good for the human psyche, it may be disorienting, it's unsafe, and using toilets specifically designed for low-gravity environments requires lots of training. So instead, since we probably won't connect to universes that don't have planets, all our stations will be on solid ground! The transport will generally take place in a different universe than the station's in order to avoid gravity and noise pollution from launch/landing procedures.
A couple of the designers told me they were a bit disappointed, because designing a livable space in 0 G's was something they've never done before, but thankfully, the choice has greatly simplified the design process.
Maybe we'll be able to set up the first couple of stations in a couple of weeks instead of a whole year!

[1] I've tried a 45 min work/15 min break rhythm before - ignoring my lack of motivation, it worked out decently well. I'm sure doing some physical exercise in these 15 minutes won't hurt

Currently listening to some demos of Eurorack synths. They sound really amazing. I'm probably not gonna get one of them as of now, but I'm probably gonna get a software recreation of one as a virtual instrument for doing composition and stuff. I've read that Celldweller uses them.

That's pretty cool. Never knew they actually existed until you told us about them.

Yeah, stretching and other light exercises have helped a lot for me lately, might as well try that again.

Agreed! Might as well take advantage of the nice sunny days we're getting before April showers starts!

The showers you're referring to sis seems like they'll hit in the 20's of this month as stated by the weather.

Do you guys have any plans for tomorrow? From what I've heard it's gonna be overheated just like today, so I'm probably gonna go for swim in the ocean. Galar is not as tropical as Alola, but I'll still find a lot of biodiversity down there under the surface.

That's a good idea. Here in Japan it's gonna be warm too, so I might as well go freediving in the Pacific Ocean to see what new creatures I can find. Maybe I'll find one of those orange dorid nudibranch sea slugs. They look pretty colorful and beautiful.

So far, we plan to have an mostly ordinary day at work. Of course, we'll have some time for walking too.

Maybe if it's really that hot tomorrow, we should get the water hose out sis! That should cool us off!

We're currently looking into more research notes about our ancestor's origins.

Yeah. There's a lot about the Grand Expedition that we still don't know about.

I'm curious to know why humans decided to travel across space from their home. Travelling across the Sea of Stars without the magic gateways is insane to say the least.

It just takes patience and a few million lifetimes to travel a galaxy. Unfortunately that last part is not accessible to biological life.

   Or you can just use Accreti-Nova drives to speed it up by a factor of about a quintillion.   

Those have their own problems, though…

To list them: hyper-fast acceleration, uncertainty, tachyonic effe

What’s an “effe”?

They meant to say “effects” but got cut off.

hi
how many people are in that post and why does each of you use a different text format?

Why...do you...ask?

Well, that's new.

Interesting, poi.

Oh, hi Qiqi! Welcome back, didn't your master say they don't want you to read this thread because of the odd behaviours of some people here?

   Smile a sunny morning...Sunny all the way. Something new is dawning and it's called a good Friday! Good morning everyone! aroo.   

   You better enjoy it now Hapihapitchi, they're calling for rain tomorrow despite what the Miracle sisters said earlier.   

   We'll be fine regardless of the conditions, besides the plants needs something to drink to keep growing beautifully!

Gah, I had a nightmare of being sawed vertically in half upside down. Good thing it was All Just a Dream.

That's horrifying! What kind of stuff is causing you all these nightmares?

No idea. Maybe I watch too many horror movies at night. I probably should take a break from them for a while. How was everyone's sleep, by the way?

   Yikes, that's sounds like one scary nightmare. I slept good last night.   

   I think it would be a good idea to take a break from those movies if they are effecting your sleep.   

   I had dreams like that before but I usually don't think too much about them since I'm not a character from A Nightmate on Elm Street.   

Glad you guys slept good last night. I guess I will re-watch some older Marvel superhero movies as part of my break from horror movies. By the way, today I'll be heading to the beach to go swim and find the orange sea slug I mentioned before. Its scientific name is Thecacera pacifica. It's also sometimes called the Pikachu sea slug due to its resemblance to Pikachu.

Cool! I like the Pikachu reference! Might as well do the same thing and head to the beach to swim and find new creatures.
