*Jupiter is meditating on the floor of her dorm. This must be really boring, because Io is playing with the phone and has pressed the video button. You get to see meditating girl and wandering dog for a moment before the phone decides that it would rather show a memory instead.*

--

*You now see Jupiter in her rocket-powered roller skates, skating around in space. She's followed by Io with a jet pack... and it isn't just Io. There are over sixty animals of all different kinds flying after her in space helmets and jet packs just like the dog's. If it's domesticated, she's got at least one. Four in particular, Io included, are flying in the front like they're orbiting her.*

*Back to reality, Jupiter blinks and contemplates the phone.*

Whooooooooaaaaaaaa.

That's very sweet of you to take care of so many pets like that.

[cosmicsoul]

Thanks a lot. It's no big. I just see a poor animal in need and I can't leave them there, y'know? Too bad I only got to take Io here... *She scoops up the dog in question.*

[needsteaplz]

I understand the feeling. Well, at least you were able to have one of your pets here.

[Speaking of pets, Sirius joins in.]

Pets have a way of sensing things. Like Sirius here. He just ended up following me back to the hotel one day and I've had him ever since. I'm very glad I have him.

[cosmicsoul]

*Jupiter pets Io and she snuggles into her.* They kinda do that, huh? It's like... destiny, dudette.

[namedforcat]

One question, if I may. How do they survive with just helmets on...does space have livable properties where you're from?

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

I live, just like they do. I don't even need the helmet. I don't know if it's just how we are or what, though.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Huh, now I'm really curious. Back home there are ways around the dangers of space, but nothing that flimsy looking.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Far out, man. Maybe it's just the way my friends and I are. I'm 4.5 billion years old, there's a lot of stuff to live through.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

[Good going Jupiter, you've managed to completely surprise him.]

You're...what?

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Old. *She smiles.* Although this city still says I have to go to school when it starts up, 'cause, like, they think I'm sixteen, so I just go with the flow, y'know?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

[He's half tempted to ask if she knows a man named 'Wilhelm', but refrains.]

Well, the city probably goes off appearances, and you don't look that old.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Probably. The world always works the way it does for a reason, even if that reason is beyond the scope of normal senses. *Io barks. Jupiter pets her.* You think so?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Yes, while there are people back home who can live past their hundredth birthday due to life extension...We can't quite go into the billions.

So yes, I think so.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

What's life extension? *headtilt*

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Life extension? It's a medical procedure that can extend a human's life span to about 130 or so years. It does have it's limits however and the people do tend to look their age, or at least 'old'.

You still look like you're a young teenager.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Whoa. Far out.

So does the rest of the Girlaxy. Oh, that's what my friends and I call ourselves. It kinda explains what we're all about, y'know?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

So really long lifespans are a common thing in your universe.

And yes, it rather does.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

For a couple of people. *headtilt* Wait, did I ask your name last time? I forget.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

It's Gaignun, and you're Jupiter, correct? [She did ask him last time, but he's not going to hold that against her. Sometimes people don't have good memories for names.]

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Uh-huh. Sorry, dude. Head's just a little fuzzy after seeing your own memories, y'know?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Don't worry about it, that's completely understandable.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Have you ever tried meditating to understand the universe more?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Not really no, I never had the time. [However he does feel that he understands his universe quite well.]

Why do you ask?

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Well, like, isn't that what we're all trying to do here so we can fix it and get back home?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Who knows, but that's as valid a theory as any.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Even if understanding isn't the goal, if we understand it, then we'll know what we are supposed to do.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

If only things were that easy, simple understanding does not mean we'll actually know what to do.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

One thing at a time, man.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Ha, I suppose so. That's all we can ever do.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Yeah, that's how it goes.
