As I said, it's as old as history. Terrible and violent, yes. We are talking about bombs. Bloody? No, I don't think so. As you said, it would be quick compared to most wars, but I agree that it is worse. Aren't wars supposed to be fought for a purpose? A war that ends with everyone dead seems rather pointless to me... Regardless, it certainly came in handy with some of our calculations. =P [/blockquote] |

Old as history is right, though some history is teenaged and living in a small town in North Carolina.
Every war starts with a purpose, Orville. It may not be fought with one. Most soldiers in wwi didn't know what, exactly, they were fighting for, or the purpose can shift. MAD, in a way, is a shift of purpose....but, if we were all dead, there would be peace. But not the kind we'd like. =P

XD So perhaps that should be rephrased, since history here at Riverdale High is quite young biologically. =P Well, yes, there would be peace, but at what cost? There would be no winners. Not even the planet itself, which the bombs would wreak havoc upon. We might have a little project to work on at Fred's house over the summer, if we get everything organized efficiently. Will and I, that is.[/blockquote] |

Soulically? Idk XD I have no idea how you'd describe the age of a reincarnate sometimes.
No one would win - hence the name mutual assured destruction. It would be a Phyrric victory, and those tend to suck.
Oh? You've got me curious, my flying friend.

Soulically? Soulogically? Maybe we should just go with my girlfriend's term of 'old soul'. It flows better than the other two examples if you ask me. Agreed. We are, surprise surprise, building a plane. If everything goes right and we can spend a few weeks over there, that is.[/blockquote] |

"Old soul" can mean a number of different things, though. Hmm...soul is a hard word to add something onto it. x.x
A plane? I shouldn't be suprised, but I am. How do you plan on that?

We could try to add something on to the word soul in a language other than English? Could even add it to the secret code to use around normals. Well...I could go into heavy detail, but given that every time I've done that recently, people usually only respond with blank looks, I'll just sum it up as using tools to put several parts together to form the end product. =P Seriously though, Fred informed me that her family has a barn or something of the like which they barely use, and that we can work on it there. Not only will we have Fred to help keep the secret from her family, but her younger brother was recently recruited into the RSOR as well. Our identities should be safe. Considering Fred's a member of the Leader's Panel, I don't doubt her abilities to keep RSOR safe either, lol.[/blockquote] |

Because that wouldn't sound weirder, Oliver. =P Though maybe there's another word in a another language, but I can't think of any offhand.
I meant the logistics, not the science.
As long as you're safe with it, I think that's awesome! You have neat summer plans. I don't know what I'm going to do with mine. Walk the dog and something, I guess. If you see a white great dane in the barn, it's just me and her stopping by. xD

Errol looked up what 'la pucelle' meant when Isa used it for Call of Duty, so I wouldn't put it past them to recognize it as another language and look it up. Somehow I figured as much. It's just hard for me to discern the two sometimes, considering. I've earned more than a few dumbfounded looks when I launch into an explanation of the mechanics behind it. I guess...it's hard for me to understand just how much the lay person knows about flight. There's a member of the Leader's Panel involved. Of course we're going to be safe with it. Though I don't know that you and Lump will be able to stop by. If Fred lived around here, maybe, but as it stands there's currently an ocean between here and there. =P[/blockquote] |

Oh, true. Lucky for her the first thing to pop up on google when that's put in is this. Which is kinda sad, really. I don't think she quite appreciates that game. xD
I can sum up how much most people know about the mechanics of flight in two words, Oliver:
basically nothing
It sucks, but is is fairly true. It's like if I want on about medieval Saracen war tactics, only less obscure...so really...yeah, people should know more about flying.
Do you doubt the powers vested in my dog, Mr. Winchester?

I didn't even know the game existed until now. 0.o They should, though I can understand where I'd go over people's heads entirely.I was talking to Isa and Chess about it last night. I do get pretty carried away, don't I? I guess I'm just used to discussing it with Will all the time, and of course he gets what I'm saying. Not at all. Though if your dog can actually fly and/or teleport, she should be famous.[/blockquote] |

Niether did I, I just googled it now.
Yeah, they don't have scientific minds. Nothing against them, nor am I saying I really do, but note your audience, I guess? XD
My dog might be able to fly and/or heliport, I have haven't asked her. She can, however, detect whenever Jennah and I are alone and barge in, as well as successfully hide my mother's hijab the one time she wishes to wear it.

I can't promise I won't slip up at times, though. We all do. =P It's par for the course. That said, at least Isa seems to enjoy the act of flying itself. I'll just leave the mechanics to Will and I, and possibly any other RSOR scientists, inventors, and what not. It's rather unfortunate that Micah Simmons is not a reincarnate, actually, because it would be nice to candidly discuss mechanics with him. Unfortunately, though, I have to watch everything that I do around him so as to not threaten RSOR security. If your dog can actually answer you on that one, I'd say your dog most certainly needs to be in movies. A real talking dog? She'd be in everything! I miss having a pet. We have a cat at home but it's not as though I can take her to school. Besides, I've always been more of a dog sort of man anyway.[/blockquote] |

That is unfortunate. I hate having to tread on eggshells all the time, but that's the price to pay for being in RSOR, I suppose. No secrecy but no one, or high secrecy, and all of history at your disposal. The sad thing is, that eliminates the others often enough.
I am positive my dog can read some words. Positive. -.-'
You could walk Lump of something if you really miss a pet. I could use company on the walks, anyways.

Still, I'll take being able to talk to a few people about it over being able to talk to no one about it. If it weren't for RSOR, we'd have the former, and that would be worse. Positive? 0_o That dog is secretly a superhero, I'm convinced of it now. Or she's a distant descendant of Scooby Doo. I wouldn't mind doing that some time. If I can handle her on her leash, lol. It's been a while since I've handled such a big dog, and to top it all off, I was in my old body then too. So we'll see.[/blockquote] |
