We're already in some magical land that makes our dreams come true - mostly the bad ones - so let's think about the impossible some more.

[Leonard may be calling it "impossible" mostly to heckle one specific Brit, given he's travelled through time himself, but maybe it will also flush out other time travellers. May be interesting.]

If you could travel to any point in history, where and when would you go, and why?

Also, if you could travel to any point in your own personal history, your lifetime... Same questions.

Would you try to change anything?

[He has experience with trying and the resulting failure too.]

Wouldn't that erase everything that happens to us afterward?

If so then I wouldn't.

[catchacold]

Depends, I guess. Always hard to tell what would influence things how.

I've tried changing something and it didn't stick. Idiocy prevails, it turns out. Never underestimate incompetence.

[morethan084]

Are you saying you've actually time traveled before?

Here?

[catchacold]

Not here, no. Back home, yeah.

Been part of a mission, had a team and everything. Not a tourist trip or I#d have chosen different destinations.

[morethan084]

You're telling me that you had a FUNCTIONING time machine?

[catchacold]

Would have been a pretty short mission if it hadn't worked.

A time ship, technically. The Waverider. Cool ride. Nice AI, excellent fashion sense.

[morethan084]

You know you're just making this sound more unbelievable by the second, right?

So what year were you actually born in? 5030?

[catchacold]

1972, actually. June 2nd, now you gotta get me something for my birthday.

Come on. We're all huddled up in Wonderland, your disbelief ought to be in permanent suspension.

[morethan084]

Wait. So you're telling me you come from the 70s with time traveling technology?

I didn't say I didn't believe you, but you can't tell me it doesn't sound far fetched.

And you still owe me a drink, so...

[catchacold]

Nah. Technically I'm from 2016 and got picked up by a Brit with time travelling technology from the future.

Anyway. Meet me at the bar?

[morethan084]

Right, yeah, of course. How stupid of me.

Like right now?

[catchacold]

You busy?

[morethan084]

No. I'll meet you there in ten?

[She needs to get out of her pajamas. Don't judge her!]

[catchacold]

See you there.

[No judging. He'd not even judge if she got there in pajamas.]
