[002] [Video, no mask] So, about that aging thing...

[mrsarcastic003]

Have we ever worked out whether or not we're aging here?

Asking for a friend.

[No, he's asking because his birthday has passed without having to have a party. Yes, the slightly smug look on his face is for you, Bruce. Enjoy.]

I hear you're going to school me in chess.

[Yes, Dinah, he uses 'schooled.']

[Text to Dick]

you've got mail

[It's the flash drive again. Updated. More codes, weird number games, a few jokes from the Teen Titans about Batman, and part of a video of Bart driving the Batmobile with text scrolling across the bottom. "Don't let this happen to you."]

Good question. Maybe it's like... being in a coma?

[She might be thinking about this way too much, but for someone who already lost two years, it's actually a pretty confusing situation.]

Or maybe we'll age here, but revert back to whatever point we were at when or if we get home?

[mrsarcastic003]

I guess we won't really know until we wake up, or... whatever. It's kind of confusing, though isn't it? Time passing here, but not where we're from.

[cmdreffingshepard]

Something like that. I feel bad for the kids - I don't know what'll happen to them. And the people who died in their worlds?

[escarabajo]

[Huh. Something about this guy's really familiar. Maybe he's got one of those faces.]

Well, if time's stopped, we shouldn't be, right?

[mrsarcastic003]

[GRIN. o hai thar.]

Therein lies the confusion. Time may be stopped at home, but clearly, it's passing while we're here. So do birthdays count or not, do you think?

[escarabajo]

[HELLO STRANGER... he is a stranger..... right???]

No clue. Time could be passing, but not passing-passing-- I think you'd have to look at the people who've been here for a year, really.

[zerotoawesome]

How could we even tell if we're aging or not? And that's so not cool if we aren't, since I'm supposed to be eighteen in a few months.

[mrsarcastic003]

I turned eighteen yesterday. I'll definitely be upset if it doesn't count.

I can vote.

[ Kara has not yet managed to stay away from the tribbles, and so there's a contended little smile on her face while she answers him and the sound of a dozen tribbles squeaking behind her. ]

We did! Sort of. Mostly. On a cellular level everybody looks normal. Aging, I mean. And you can't age on a bigger scale if you're not aging on a molecular level, so it seems right!

[mrsarcastic003]

[Bless you, Kara, that is basically exactly the information Tim wanted.]

Sounds about right to me. I mean--I'd definitely assume that if my molecules were aging, the rest of me was too.

Which I guess means I get to be eighteen now, huh?

Did you miss the information about the clones?

[mrsarcastic003]

[Oh, hello paranoid person who likes to use encryption. You are a man after Tim's own heart.]

No, I didn't. But it doesn't really answer the question does it? If this is technically a place between, does time pass, or doesn't it?

[chiot]

Pffffftttt--I know I ain't agin', huh?

video;

[mrsarcastic003]

Young forever, huh?

video; hello stranger

[urbanmagic]

I'd like to think we are. Of course, some people might enjoy the idea of turning centuries old but still looking like a teen thing.

video; o hai thar

[mrsarcastic003]

Some people might like that. Me? If I'm getting older, I'd like to get to grow up, too.

[lol, comic ages]

video or action (your call if Bart's been crashing there yet)

[backinakidflash]

[Bart throws his hands up at this.]

Please tell me there's no aging weirdness.

action (howdy roomie!)

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim glances over]

Kara says we're aging on a molecular level, if that helps?

comment not here

[backinakidflash]

[Bart totally ruled at driving the Batmobile.]

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

[He is so mad at you right now, Tim. So mad.]

Cheater. [Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday? ;;]

I don't really mind turning fourteen twice. Though I guess my body's age and my soul's age wouldn't line up but if you believe in reincarnation...

Anyway, it's weird.

[video]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Grin. Why do you think he didn't say anything?]

Yeah, it is. But I think this whole situation is kind of weird anyway.

[superoverachiever]

But if we are, it's still not gonna count. I don't think the DMV accepts 'I was stuck on a giant Turtle for a year' forms. Even if they're signed.

[mrsarcastic003]

Damn. And I was going to try to get Evandu to fill one out for me and everything.
