Second and a Half Experiment [4th Wall]/[Visual]

[scienceintensifies]

[That old scroll is flashing up yet again, and a familiar pair of goggles can be spotted on the feed. Not to mention the blue foam lizard on his shoulder.]

Alright, so, with the time displacement between universe-

What, no hello?

[He gives the lizard a look.] We’re talking about science here. Hellos can wait.

Oh yeah, they’re sure to listen to that.

[He makes several grumbling noises and grimaces.] Fine. Greetings Ponyville, Linksano here once again, etc etc.

Hey guys. Eliza here too. I have a name now.

Yes yes, they’ll are very impressed. Now listen. After returning home, its been about ten to eleven months in my world. Depending on how long its been here, perhaps I can locate some sort of connecting pattern to the differentiating levels of time and space, thereby uncovering a frequency to-

How have you guys been anyway? [She assumes that’s what normal, non-Linksano people do. Granted, she’s a one year-old walking foam lizard, but she’s pretty sure she knows more than the doctor on this one.]

...I was talking.

You do that a lot.

[heartofsteel]

...oh, it's you.

I remember you now.

[scienceintensifies]

[There's a lengthy silence where Linksano just stares at the person in his scroll. Eliza glances back and forth between them.]

...Hello.... Pollo..?

[Please be Pollo mode please be Pollo mode please be Pollo mode]

[polyturtle]

You were sent home also?

[visual]

[scienceintensifies]

As far as I can recall. My memory is a little, erm.... [He trails off.]

Well, unless I have evidence otherwise, that's what I believe, yes.

[visual]

[polyturtle]

[A frown.]

No, that makes sense, trust me. There are certain things you're probably not going to remember between here and there.

[visual]

[scienceintensifies]

Good, good.

So, about a year of... events occurred on my end. And I remember the incident with the Pale Pony and the game occurring around the time I arrived.

And I think the last thing that happened here was some sort of battle with Zetta. Oh, and the Hoovesweek was talking all about yogurt

The what.

The Hoove- did you read the magazine at all while you were here?

They have magazines?

[visual]

[polyturtle]

That was awhile back, but yeah, they...they do have magazines here.

You've been gone about six months, then, give or take.

[heartofsteel]

Yes, it's me. Mechakara's been dealt with now.

...actually, the fact that he's still gone may confirm that robots have souls. [He thinks about that for a second, then smiles.] That's nice.

[visual]

[scienceintensifies]

Interesting... So at least between my universe, there's a difference of at least four months... perhaps one and a two-thirds of a month per month...?

[You could never go wrong with scientific mumbling.]

[scienceintensifies]

[Linksano quickly shifts from "probably about to unleash a very loud whimper" to "SCIENCE".]

Really? No desire to strangle anybody deep in the circuitry or anything?

[heartofsteel]

...no.

[Noooot sure how he feels about that tone.]

[surpriserainbows]

[Oh hey look. It's that weird white pegasus from last time just kind of waving at you.]

Oh hey! Congratulations on getting a name man! I mean, I've never been without a name but, you know, I'd think getting a name is probably a pretty big deal!

[scienceintensifies]

Interesting... Have you tried testing it? Think about strangling for a minute.

[Eliza looks about as horrified as a foam lizard can be. Linksano how are you still alive.]

[scienceintensifies]

[Oh look, someone they both like.]

Thanks Surprise. I didn't really remember our conversation back home, but it must've been in the back of my head because I spent a while thinking about my name.

I'm fairly certain no memories should ha-

Let me have this one, alright?

[polyturtle]

I'm not sure you can really put it into a precise mathematical conversion. I was gone a year when I disappeared for a week here.

[heartofsteel]

.....what is wrong with you?
