[Someone's feeling nostalgic.]

Hey, uh, did anyone here ever go to one of those...waffle houses? Like, back home?

[This is so awkward. Bluh. Why is she even doing this?

Oh well.]

Do you think we could...I dunno, make one...here? Maybe a German one?

[Okay that's enough embarrassing awkwardness. She shuts the feed off.]

Whoa. Far ooooout.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, when are you from?

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

1962. What about you?

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I'm from 2004.

[Snort.] That explains some things, I guess.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Is everything chrome in the future?

[Eyebrow raise.]

People have been telling me that a lot, recently.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

[Ffff.] Afraid not. I think they were teasing you, kid.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Aw, man. What a drag. I was really looking forward to everything being shiny.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Sorry to break it to you.

How long have you been here that nobody's told you that yet?

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Well, someone informed me that there were, in fact, no flying cars. But then I didn't want to ask about the chrome thing too.

[Sigh.]

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Well, there's cell phones to look forward to, if you're that into technology and shit. And the internet'll blow you away.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

..Oookay?

[Sean smiles.]

So what do you do in 2004?

[Reap dead people's souls?]

I work at a temp agency. I place people in jobs.
