[ all the music's stopped. thank god. that was like living below incredibly noisy neighbors who wouldn't shut their music off. not that liz had ever experienced that back home in roswell, but her the family who lived above her aunt's in florida weren't exactly the quietest people. at least they didn't blast music all day long, that would've been intolerable. as it were, she only made it through this recent event by plugging in headphones and settling down with a good book to drown it all out and focus on something else. ]

A question, City. I was wondering... Not counting any of the aliens we have here, because the dimensional shift between worlds is sort of cheating and can make something that isn't reality become a reality... But, yeah, not counting any non-humans you may or may not have met here, do you... Do you believe in aliens?

[ just out of curiosity, of course. certainly, she doesn't want to see if she's not the only one with actual aliens back home. ]

Comments

[stopbleepingme]

Well, yeah. But only 'cause my best friend is one, though.

[cametolife]

...really? Your best friend is an alien? Would that be your best friend here or back home in your world?

[ says the girl who dated one and was usually found in the vicinity of (secret) aliens, back in roswell. ]

[iwasherefirst]

Nope. Don't believe in 'em at all.

[There is an amazing amount of teasing in her voice.

[cametolife]

[ liz can't help but laugh. sure, rose. sure. ]

Completely fictional, right? All Hollywood.

video: *unless liz is home then action*

[charring]

After living here? I'd say it's a distinct possibility.

action!

[cametolife]

There were never any UFO sightings or anything like that where you lived?

[conesoldstober]

With the utter vastness of the universe I think it's foolish and self-centred to dismiss them. Never met one myself, however.

[cametolife]

That's a good point, but I think there's a difference in believing in them and acknowledging the possibility that there might be something else out there in the universe besides just us.

[baitswitch]

That depends entirely upon how you would define alien, doesn't it?

[cametolife]

It tends to be someone defined as an extraterrestrial. Someone not of this earth who isn't human.

[uncounted]

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

[cametolife]

Have you met any, or are you just really certain there's aliens out there somewhere?

[lookjustlike]

Why wouldn't you count aliens who know humans who believe in him? Or her. Hypothetically.

[cametolife]

Well, I guess the could count. Hypothetically...

[team_sociopath]

Does it count as believing if you make them buy you pizza and stuff?

[cametolife]

...um, I guess that would constitute as having solid proof, which is believing.

[candothat]

I have met many! Everyone believes in aliens where I am from; it is very strange, being in the past where aliens are not so common.

[cametolife]

[ ...the cosplayer. 8| (one day, liz will settle into the idea that his really is pavel chekov and not some delusional trekkie.) ]

Yeah, I bet. We must seem really behind the times to you.

[awkwards]

You mean those green things with the big heads and three fingers?

[ ... despite everything alisha has seen and experienced, you'd think she would believe in aliens. ]

[cametolife]

If that's what you believe aliens look like.

[ ikr, the city is nuts. you'd think it'd make people a little more open minded. ]

[errandry]

... why wouldn't the ones count? They're still real somewhere, right?

[cametolife]

Well, yeah, but if they don't exist in your home dimension, then that sort of throws my chart all out of whack.

[ she totally has a chart, too. ]

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam's eyebrows raise before he answers the question. A census should always be answered when called to it. ]

In aliens? [ he may be looking that word up right now in his trusty dictionary. ] Non-humans, of course, but aliens... [ he's just not sure ] It has not been my pleasure to meet one of those. [ except for here, but he's come to believe that no one here was normal. ]

[cametolife]

Do you believe in the possibility that there are aliens out there, somewhere?

[intheblanks]

Arrogant not to.

[cametolife]

I'd have to agree with that.

[ audio ]

[the_dawnster]

Totally! I met some aliens once, even. I mean they seem like aliens to me and less demon-y. They were these bug type creatures, which... ew, I know, but they were these massive bug aliens that flew in this little bubble like space ship. They had this vampire friend of ours named Spike on board. And honestly they kind of helped us save the world by getting us from point A to point B.

[ audio ]

[cametolife]

...your vampire friend, and a bug alien spaceship...

[ vampires. with aliens. give her a minute to wrap her head around this one. ]

[captaininnuendo]

Believe in aliens? People who don't believe there's more out there than themselves would have to be pretty closed-minded. But sadly, even when the evidence of their existence is right in front of people's faces, they still seem to find a way not to believe.

|| audio

[cametolife]

Sometimes people go out of their way to ensure people don't have anything in front of their faces to see.

[ like the special unit of the FBI... ]

[generated_anomaly]

Aliens are everywhere, I think. And to the aliens even the humans are aliens, which I suppose would make you and I aliens too! I like being an alien.

[cametolife]

I never thought about it that way. You're right, we are aliens to the al-- [ HOLD ON. ] ...oh. You are? I mean, yeah, of course you would. Who doesn't like being who they are?

[dr_conscience]

I don't think I ever would have said no outright, with what limited understanding of the universe humanity has, but... well. I certainly can't say it now.

[cametolife]

I like to think we're not alone in the universe.

[ hey wilson, guess who was shot and killed, then brought back to life by the ~magic healing powers~ of an alien king? yep. ]

[what_the_flux]

Absolutely! In all the vastness of the universe, certainly, somewhere out there, must be life at least as intelligent as our own - if not presently as advanced or more so, then possessing the potential to become so. It would be doing the universe a great disservice to think that our current understanding of it is anywhere near complete, and to dismiss things as purely impossible is to greatly underestimate the extent of possibility.

[cametolife]

[ HELLO DOC. you are one of her favorites, okay? okay. geek attracts geek. ]

You are absolutely right.

[fatespoken]

Sure.

An inconceivable number of universes, including alternates, means there has to be other life forms.

[cametolife]

Exactly!
