the third.

Exercising my powers of logic and argument while concentrating on other, more constructive tasks leads to some...strange results, I find. The statements I make are undeniably correct, and the questions I ask are apt to the situation, but on further analysis, there is something disconcerting about the things I appear to have said. They carry a certain weight, and are thick with implications for myself and my current situation.

Making the temporal adjustments to the program is proving difficult. As there is no precedent on my world for the act of time travel, I am having to search further afield for information, looking through the databases of other worlds, other times. However, the little I do find has no real application in the program. I suspect I will have to fill the gaps with theoretical presumptions, and make adjustments as I continue. It is far from efficient, but would seem to be the only avenue of progress open at this point in time.

Time travel, hmm? It sounds like an interesting proposition. I'm curious as to what your theories are.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It's not time travel itself that holds any interest for me, rather the transfer of data to other periods of time. The community itself can achieve it, I just need to find out how, so that I may adjust my program to compensate.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Does it bug you that much?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Does what bug me?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Your first paragraph, genius. You say one thing and think another - it bugs you, doesn't it?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You say it like it's not something to be concerned about.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Then tell me why it is something to be concerned about.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It is irrational to have two conflicting opinions on one subject in the same individual. And I am not one to condone irrationality.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

How is it irrational? Perhaps you're just confused over how you truly feel on said subject.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't be confused about anything!

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

I've got news for you; you're human. Confusion happens. No reason to flip out over it.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You're even stupider than I first thought.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Forgive me for not understanding your complexities. What is so absolutely horrible about being confused over something that it brands me an idiot?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Would you even be able to understand, if I told you?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Try me.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Maybe I don't want to.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're afraid.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Maybe I don't like telling secrets to strangers.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should be more careful with your words, then.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Maybe I didn't think you were worth taking care with my words over.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Maybe you just think way too highly of yourself and need to be knocked back into reality.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Oh? Are you going to be the one to do it?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Nah.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I thought as much.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

You're not worth the hassle.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Well, you wouldn't know, would you?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose I wouldn't, because you'd be too confused and afraid to say something otherwise.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

If you think I am going to sink to the levels of being aggravated by what is essentially an implication of "chicken", you are sadly mistaken.

[tipsytactics.livejournal.com]

'Time travel', mm? Sounds a little incredible!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...why is that the one thing everyone focuses on? I'm not particularly interested in time travel itself, but the community relies upon some form of temporal programming to move data forward and back through time. I need to find a way to allow my program to do the same thing, so that it can monitor and block the appropriate entities.

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

...

Are you encountering more problems then you anticpated?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I realized this would be a vast undertaking, but I didn't think that I'd have to rewrite the laws of physics.

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

...Why are you doing that?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Because the community does things that shouldn't be possible, and I'm having to adjust the program to compensate for that.

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

Oh. Will it even work?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Of course it will!

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

...

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You don't think it will, do you?

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

We'll see when it's finished.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You most certainly will.

[tipsytactics.livejournal.com]

You're not even a little interested in it? I think it sounds fascinating.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It's irrelevant at this point in time.

[tipsytactics.livejournal.com]

It could prove useful!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Data will be difficult enough to move, never mind matter.

[tipsytactics.livejournal.com]

But you're making progress, aren't you?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Slowly.

[tipsytactics.livejournal.com]

Still better than none!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I suppose so.
