004 [TEXT] BACKDATED TO WEDNESDAY
What effect, if any, does the passage of time here have on us?
I don't necessarily mean what we do in the time that passes here. That's completely irrelevant. I'm talking about aging and other things of that nature. Normally, I wouldn't even entertain the idea that it would be different, but the fact that death isn't permanent here is making me consider it.
If we assume that there's some sort of conscious entity behind our presence here, then it's clear that it wants us alive. I wouldn't say that we're immortal, exactly, as people do die when they are killed, but they're resurrected without consequence a short time later.
What, then, will happen if we're stranded here for a significant length of time? We have no idea how long the investigation will take, nor do we know what will be required of us once we have more information. There is the possibility of being returned to where we came from, but it seems completely random as to when it happens, and it seems as though when we're returned it's as we were never gone-not only with regard to our position in time, but our physical and mental states, as well.
So, do we age normally? Or are we locked into the physical age that we were upon arrival? It would be a fascinating subject to research if I had the proper resources, but there are, of course, more pressing matters to attend to.
[THESE ARE SANE AND REASONABLE BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS]
Speaking of which, has there been any progress on the investigation into the Church of Three? I haven't heard a word about it since shortly after it was brought up. Weren't there people intent on investigating it?

Action
[A dry look and she sets the phone down on the table.]
Nonsense. I can hardly get you a gift, so I will do something more meaningful instead.
Action
...should he just... accept this... those points are good ones, but
...but.
...he can stomach it, it's the thought that counts, it will probably be a Nice Try...]
...ah. Of course.
Action
[The earlier the time, the less complicated things she can try to cook.]
Action
let's do a happy medium here]
...Six. Six would be fine with me.
Action
[While she can't be considered happy - when does she ever? - she at least appears more at ease. Already, she's debating things that she can cook - and things that she can try to cook.]
Action
he'll just
wait
and hope that it's a Nice Try and not industrial waste]
Action
...yeah.
When she disappears into the kitchen, he'll be treated to a mixture of odd noises. And at least a couple of crashes due to handling heavy things one-handedly.]
Action
consider asking her if she wants help
no, she'd just get mad, she seemed really happy to be doing it
...his life...]
Action
Yeah, uh. At least she's not going to make anything too complex. They don't have the ingredients.
Eventually, she simply leaves it to cook and comes and waits in the living room.]
Action
HE'S RICH, WHO DOES THAT
POOR PEOPLE THAT'S WHO
...meanwhile he's still in the awkward state of trying to figure out how to feel about this, uh]
