Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?
Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

I...honestly, I was surprised by all of this. Even after Nina took Wilhelmina away, I never thought... [He glances away.] It's terrible, but it's still not on the same level as systematic snuff television.
no subject
[She swallows, nods again.] By human standards...it's pretty awful. And it's worse that no one's figured it out or is even investigating it. Like everything is so very thorough that nobody considers "is it actually real" to be a question.
no subject
[Presumably someone has filled him in on everything by now.]
no subject
There were still things the others picked up on. How the stars moved outside, the...lack of coherency from the pigeons. Supply lines and such. Just because it all looks real doesn't mean they've perfectly simulated life.
no subject
[should he ask, or...]
Coherency from the pigeons?
no subject
[Example: if Ardyn's bird friend hopped over and sang, Jane would maybe pick up the use of the word "and" once. If she heard it clearly. And was concentrating specifically on the bird and nothing else. And, fuck, I don't know, the moons of Jupiter in seven instances of the Milky Way all align.]
no subject
[He'll have to ask him about that later! But for now - ]
...Alexander Hamilton? Was he really a real person, then?
no subject
[Airquotes around those last three words]
no subject
...he actually sounds exactly like I'd expect.

[A pause.] Do you know what sort of species speak in poems? And...is there a way to see or read some of what they have to say? That sounds interesting.
no subject
...though, maybe your translators would help you with that. They obviously gave you something for that. I don't think all of you even natively speak the same language?
no subject
[Except for some various little bits like san, chan, etc.]

[He folds his hands over his mouth with a sigh, and is quiet for a second.]
I don't understand how it came to this. Everything was...it was a normal television network. We got public funding.
no subject
Something had to of changed. Between when things were fine and when Nina...did what she did. Something changed. Is...was she going through an ordeal at the time? Trouble with sponsors? Anything?
no subject
I know that she was trying to move in that direction after she cancelled my show. There were... [He thinks for a second, then waves a hand dismissively.] ...soap operas, for a while. Some genre shows. I've looked them up again since I met you, and they all had real actors in them, they've had other work since. None of it ever really took off, until this.
no subject
And just like her wishes to change the fork back to a spoon, Jane wishes she could go in and make things how they were. Public television sounds much more beneficial than bloodsports.]
So she must have gotten some sort of...inspiration, to turn things in such a direction. Or she was desperate to get something that would really launch the network into notoriety, and...she found an opportunity, and took it. The technology to bring us all here, maybe? Or that there were all these other worlds and realities to begin with? [A pause.] Mister Ein, if you happen to know off the top of your head, how long have memory altering to this degree and the ability to reconstruct organic bodies...how long has that been a thing that's possible? Roughly speaking.
no subject
As for the memories...well, again, it depends on the species. There's similarities, but even my brain - [He gestures at his temple.] - doesn't have the exact same makeup as yours. I think they must be tailoring it for everyone who isn't an ordinary human, and that...that is a shocking amount of time and effort.
...unless, of course, she's found something advanced enough to be called magic. Then, who knows.

[He folds his arms.]
She was interested in science, but we mostly discussed it in the context of the show. [Which, being for children, was not that advanced.]
no subject
[Even if it was just basic, there is a LOT of science that can be taught to kids and then expanded upon as you get older. Building a foundation of knowledge, and all that.]
