[ 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. ]

[ there's something oddly serious in her tone as she says this. ]

I would never be silly about any of this.

[captaininnuendo]

Well if you can't be silly about what year you're from then what can you be silly about? It isn't so serious as some other things that require seriousness like death and taxes [Using a Benjamin Franklin quote to make a joke, yep.] or the end of the world.

[ her inner nerd is pinged. one ben franklin quote deserves another. ]

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

Benjamin Franklin, wise man... who knew how to get silly now and again. Now he was a character.
