But you've heard of parallel universes. Right? Different timelines, alternate dimensions, blah blah blah. All that!
I think we're dealing with that right now.
Was that your theory too, Senku?
no subject
But you're right. That was more or less what I was going to say. Ten billion points to you.
no subject
It's my lucky day! What can I buy with ten billion points?
[ Because Lalo is both a deranged maniac and an eternal optimist, the shock and "what the fuck" feeling that had permeated him earlier is wearing off quickly; in its place, possibilities emerge. Endless possibilities.
Gotta get off the island first though. ]

Not a hell of a lot right now, looks like.
But this place just got pretty exciting.

[ That hero type optimism just kicks in sometimes. ]
I wonder if we can figure out how to cross barriers between worlds, though. We have to eventually to get everyone home but in the meantime, do we HAVE to go back to our own worlds? I already want to learn everything in my world. To be able to learn things in other ones, I could ten billion percent never pass that up.

Haha. Don't know about "we", but I certainly have to! I've got a wife and two stepkids. I can't imagine abandoning them permanently. I miss them more than I know how to say already. [ Lies. But he does have unfinished business in his own world; Lalo is curious about what other worlds hold, but until he's able to take bloody revenge on Fring and expose all of Fring's lies, he can't let himself get distracted by anything else.
He does contemplate, though, that if they're able to cross between worlds... then he can go somewhere that has monsters, dragons, weapons his world has never seen. He'd have to be careful about it; couldn't rush into it; would need a plan; would need to be careful who he took; but if he could bring back something like that, from another world to his world, and use them again Fring...
The Chicken Man wouldn't stand a chance. Lalo almost has a revenge boner just thinking about the things he might be able to do.
He can't tell anyone that either, though. None of their business anyway. ]
Your zest for knowledge is admirable, though! Is "ten billion" your favorite number?
But maybe we should worry about keeping ourselves alive first. Then we can worry about traveling to other worlds.
no subject
[ BORING but f i n e. ]
My favourite number? Sure, I guess. It's a play on words. Oh but this is auto-translated or whatever, isn't it…
[ He has to think of how to do this. ]
You're American or English or something, right? With a name like Ben. But in Japanese, 100 in 100% is hyaku. Ten billion is hyaku-oku. So it's just an emphasis kind of.
[ He's just a huge nerd who likes to sound like he extra knows what he's talking about; it's a childhood habit he never grew out of. ]
Science is about understanding where we are now and figuring out where we go next so I'm thinking about both. I don't plan to die here or anything. And I don't plan to let everyone else die either.
[ Chronic hero disease. ]
