So it is true. Calenders and watches are completely useless -- as it stands that is common knowledge in this world. Curious, isn't it? Is it on purpose we are not allowed to tell time? Even the days almost seem to blur together. What other reason would time and seasons not exist?

Your human seasons make debatable sense to me to begin with. I have learned not to be too concerned about the differences here.

[digophelia]

What on earth does my species have anything to do with it?

Voice;

[alternia_strength]

Different planets, different seasons, different life cycles. One would think that rather obvious, yes?

Voice;

[digophelia]

The way you said it - your tone - makes the implication I'm some sort of simpleton.

Voice

[alternia_strength]

Simpleton? Hardly. You cannot be blamed for the deficiencies of your homeworld.

[Because that was SO much better, Equius.]

Voice

[digophelia]

Deficiences?? I doubt you have been to London.

[There are some, but still.]

Voice

[alternia_strength]

Perhaps once it is a conquered state. But for now, I am content with what I have visited.

[threadspinner]

I doubt it's meant to be something we're to pay any attention to. If anything, perhaps we're supposed to consider how we could unlock those things eventually. Like rewards in video games.

[digophelia]

Pray tell, what is a "video" game?

[moonflowing]

We can't tell time, really? Well, aside from just being able to say it's morning or evening.

(audio)

[digophelia]

It certainly wasn't... spring or whatever spring month it is where I come from. There's no clocks.

(audio)

[moonflowing]

Hmm... if there's no clocks currently, what if someone made one, I wonder?

(audio)

[digophelia]

I wonder as well. Would it function?

[bornarebel]

Sounds to me like it's a way to keep us confused and stuck in place.

voice;

[digophelia]

I see I am not the only one who thinks as such.

Re: voice;

[bornarebel]

Something tells me, we're not the only two even.

[vigilanteup]

The way I see it, you could consider it part of the whole notion of a heaven, or of a god's realm. Surely more worldly matters like time or season don't translate.

[digophelia]

Well, yes, Asgard is realm to the Aesir and the like, but not for mortals. I am afraid I don't see it as such... perhaps more ill-intentions behind the notion of lack of time.

[vigilanteup]

Oh, I never said it was a nicety. There's nothing good about not being able to tell the time.

[digophelia]

But we should count our blessings we are able to differentiate days themselves.

[Says a girl who sometimes can't.]

[vigilanteup]

Hey, don't give them ideas to stop doing that. I like a setting and rising sun.

[digophelia]

Ideas? Who's to say that they can't read minds already.

[bloodypocket]

This realm does have a calendar of its own, having recently celebrated its new year for the second time since Travellers arrived. But if you happen to come from one of the many Earths, then the calendar you know would serve you little.

audio;

[digophelia]

I knew as much and yes, it wasn't spring. But what of the hours?

audio;

[bloodypocket]

To my knowledge they seem to number twenty-four, but who can say for certain other than the natives themselves?

audio

[volted]

Calenders are useless? Since when...?

[He's still new here, relatively. Someone was just going on about a holiday though, so there had to be some form of..day-counting.]

audio

[digophelia]

They don't line up with everyone else.

audio

[volted]

What do you mean? Are you talking about time travel?

audio

[digophelia]

Perhaps. That would make sense, wouldn't it?

audio

[volted]

Right, but time travel by itself doesn't make sense.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

It's an entirely different world, you can't expect time to work exactly the same.

[Video]

[digophelia]

Of course not, but why doesn't it?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Because it doesn't have exactly the same orbit around the sun as the Earth has around its own nor does it spin around its own shoulder at the same speed the Earth does.

[Video]

[digophelia]

But that's not-

[Possible? She knows already that's a failed argument.]

Oh, nevermind.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

But it is.

[horlogerie]

[Hugo feels like he should be offended on behalf of watches...but it is not like it isn't true.]

This isn't the only world where people can't tell time.

[Yes. Good argument.]
