I'm kind of freaking out here.

So I've been having weird dreams lately about mechanics and plans and all of this. Today I found myself working on the heating coil of our stove in my Cabin and turned it into a Air Conditioner. I don't know how I did that, how it happened and certainly had no idea how I was able to cook something on a broken stove as well... that I fixed.

And to boot I've been coming up with plans, ideas. I've been trying to write them down and I can't, like they're THERE but I can't get it OUT OF MY HEAD.

I'm trying to go for a walk and clear my head but I keep looking at things and going "You know, that could be turned into a steam-powered ballista"--NO BAD AKANE!

Help?

An Air Conditioner. It means it makes the air cooler.

[lovemguns]

Heeeh, first time I've heard'a somethin' like that.

[hotbloodedpower]

Really? It's pretty standard in hot places.

[lovemguns]

It is? Is't some foreign thing?

[hotbloodedpower]

Not really, Air Conditioners are used everywhere in the world now.

[lovemguns]

That so? Since when?

[hotbloodedpower]

Well before I was old enough to walk at least. Maybe 1995 or so is when they got really prominent?

[lovemguns]

Oh... Oh, I see. That explains why I don't know about it.

[hotbloodedpower]

Are you from a point before the 1990s?

[lovemguns]

Last time I looked it was 1908.

[hotbloodedpower]

Yeah that's a long time ago.

[lovemguns]

Not to me it ain't.

[hotbloodedpower]

1908... well it's long for me at least. I'm actually supposed to be from 2012.

[lovemguns]

2012? That's more than a hundred years from my time.

[hotbloodedpower]

Yeah it's quite a long time ago from my point of view.

[lovemguns]

Sure seems like't, huh.

It's pretty interestin', that people're brought from different times an' worlds.

[hotbloodedpower]

It really is yeah. There's a lot of people from all sorts of places.

[lovemguns]

Though I don't like this idea of us not havin' the families we had back home, I do like the idea of gettin' to know a lotta things about other worlds an' times. [ His grin is way too wide and curious. ] Kid'll be jealous. [ No he won't. ]

[hotbloodedpower]

Mmmm, you have a point. I'm still getting used to having a god for a dad.

[lovemguns]

I had ta get used to the part about there bein' many gods overall. My parents were mormons, an' pops didn't really want anythin' to do with me after I ended up on the Trail. So I guess non-present parents ain't any different.

[hotbloodedpower]

My parents are Shinto but we're not exactly religious by any means. So it's new for me.

[lovemguns]

Shinto? That a religion?

[hotbloodedpower]

Yes, it's Japanese.

[lovemguns]

Really? So are samurai also Shinto... believers...?

[hotbloodedpower]

Depends on the family I'd think. There's a few major religions in Japan right now. Shinto, Christianity, Catholism, Buddhism...
