Analog Watches: *quietly Ticking Away Waiting To Be Cross Checked With The Phones And Such* Dont Forget

Analog watches: *quietly ticking away waiting to be cross checked with the phones and such* don’t forget me.

Okay, but I like fixing things, so no.

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

Humans, almost in unison: whats that supposed to mean?

Alien crewmate: your world sounds like it sucks, your people must have been eager to leave it.

First human: no.

Alien: what do you mean “no”?

Second human: Earth, or Terra as most people call it, is home. It’s our place.

Alien: I don’t follow.

Humans: we came to space because we were curious, not because we wanted to leave earth.

Alien: you are attached to this world?

First human, sharing a glance with the second: yes. Yes we are.

Human crewmate: smells like rain

Alien crewmate: you can SMELL that???

Human:. ... yes? Some humans can feel it in their bones, especially where bones have been broken and healed or have decayed. Most of us get it with age.

Alien crewmate, aside to another alien crewmate: what the fuck

Looks to me like either a statue or a well made costume of the Laputian robots from Castle in the sky, so… convention of some kind?

i am fucking obsesssed with this image

My eyes lit up with excitement, never before had anyone offered to play board games with me, I had always had to ask and nag. ‘Michae your games are weird’ ‘Michael the games take too long’ ‘but you always win’ were the most common excuses I’d heard.

“Could we just… stay, here, between worlds, and play games?” I asked, deciding that if I was to die, I it to be among friends. Death, clearly surprised looked up, and if they had flesh, and eyes, I imagine they’d have a shocked expression

“You understand, that time will still move on as it was in life, and in the next, right? People will age and die, you won’t be able to return.”

I merely nodded, my time had come, and while at first I had wanted to barter for my life to be spared, death seemed as lonely a job as any.

“I think we could both use a friend.” I said, moving my first pawn forward. “It’s your turn.”

“Chess? I’ve been around since before humans invented the concept of games, so a game as old as chess would be be in my favour without a doubt. I would advice you to choose again, and pick something you’re familiar with.” Death said as they presented every board and video game ever created.
