Military Log - 002

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Maes is out of his military uniform, now wearing a simple black shirt and some pants. Although you can probably see the military jacket hanging up in the background. He's leaning back in a chair at his desk, looking thoughtful. Of course, he has the Cambot on so does he have a reason for posting. Finally he sits forward, letting the chair legs hit the floor again. He waves.]

Greetings everyone! Just wanted to check in and see how you all were doing. Now that I'm settled in I've had the chance to think a little more about our situation. I can't say that I know anything about it, but I figure we need to start looking for answers at some point. The best way to start that is by collecting data. Any information you can give me will be helpful. After all, I get the feeling that a lot of you have been here for awhile before I got here.

[Scratches his chin] Actually, that might not be a bad place to start. So how long have you been here? When did all of this start happening? And what were you doing before you got here? [pauses to consider] Hmm, when you're from might be a good question too. Since apparently I'm the only one from 1914.

[Looks up] And don't worry! If you don't want to broadcast this information I've already sent Cambot around with a paper version of the survey you can fill out anonymously! You should find it under your door.

[[ooc: Make sure to note whether or not the person if filling out the paper version or not so I know if Maes needs to respond. Paper Version looks like this:
Length Of Time Here:
What You Were Doing Prior to Arrival:
What Time Period are you From: ]]

I've been here about three weeks. In July 2011 I was defending myself against a maniac in a gold vest in an alternate universe who was trying to take over the world.

...Yeah. My life is average.[Said with a smirk.]

[ low whistle as he writes this down]

This is going to become a contest in strange stories, isn't it.

[virtualunknown.livejournal.com]

Excellent idea, sir. If I can be of any assistance, do let me know. These sorts of things are my specialty.

As for your questions. [He ticks off the answers on his fingers] Three days, working on my computer, and 2000s.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

You do a lot of research or investigations where you're from? [He makes a note]

I wonder if a lot of people are here from that era.

[Sora doesn't mind answering the questions on camera!]

I think it's been about three weeks or so since I showed up here.

Me and Riku were going home from the world of darkness...we just ended up here instead.

...I don't get what you mean by time period.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

That's quite a long time to be here. [Making notes in his notebook] What's the world of darkness?

[frowns a bit] Well, like, what year is it that you come from? I realize we might not all have the same numbering system but there might be some pattern or something to be found and if I could get dates that would be helpful.

Crow: Tom's busy, so I'm gonna answer for all us 'bots!

1) Eeeever since Joel made us! Which was about six years.

2) Absolutely nothing!

3) Right now!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Right, you guys have been up here the longest then. Nothing like this has happened before, right? With people mysteriously showing up on board?

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

I've been here about three weeks too, I think. And I remember I was making some cupcakes in Sugarcube Corner before it happened, because we had all these really great-looking sunshine yellow ones in the display window for spring, you know, with the little green-and-blue sprinkles, and they looked SO good that I just HAD to try a few, and theeeeeen I kinda ended up trying most of them. So I had to make more!

Oh, and I thiiiiiink it was a Tuesday!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[writing this down] You have...quite a memory there Pinkie...not to mention quite a stomach.

[frowning at his notes] Tuesday...of what year. [looks up] Do peopl---ponies where you come from have a calendar system?

[blood-on-torfan.livejournal.com]

That's actually not a bad idea.

I've already told you before when we first met, but I've been around here since the same day you showed up, which was about...four days ago?

The last thing I remember was going to bed in my quarters after helping out my girlfriend with some trouble she was having.

And the date when I went to bed was 00:38 hours 17 September 2185

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I have to do something productive while we're up here, might as well try to figure out the how and why and to do that I have to start looking for any information I can get, including information from everyone on board.

[Writing this down in his notebook] Well, that makes you fro the further time period as far as I can gather. [looks up] Most of the others seem to be from the 2000s or there abouts.

[keeperonenya.livejournal.com]

I have been here around three weeks. I was boarding a ship for the Uttermost West when I came here. It was the 3021st year of the Third Age of the Sun.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Got it. Thanks Galadriel. [writing this down]

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[Falco's feeling anti-social, so he just fills out the paper version. He got bored in the middle of it and started doodling little space ships on it too 8|a]

1) 3 weeks

2) Just finished a job, en route to Corneria from planet Venom

3) ((some incomprehensible scribbling, as Nintendo has seen fit not to provide us with such information 8|b))

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine goes with the paper version]

1) 2 1/2 weeks.

2) Just finished making plans with friends

3) [canon doesn't give us any calendar system, so there are numbers here, we just don't know which]

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Xion will write on the paper. Thank you for thinking of that, Hughes.]

1. A little over a week

2) Leaving the old mansion in Twilight Town

3) [Same as Namine's]

[ Who even has patience for paper anymore? ]

I got here three weeks ago. Preeeeetty sure that's when this all started, except for Mike and the bots. It was September 2011 back where I came from -- don't remember which day, exactly -- but we were recharging after a mission.

If it helps, we seem to be in a dampening field. I don't know the details, but no one can access their powers.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

That does seem to be the further back anyone started coming here. I'm trying to get more information out of the bots, but I'm not sure how focused they can be about this.

[writing this down, he pauses though] Mission? [looks at Wally] You're a little young for the military aren't you? [taps his chin with his pen, he mutters] Then again Edward was only 12 when he got his state Alchemy license...]

First I've heard of a dampening field. What can you tell me about that? I'm afraid I'm a bit misplaced time wise.

[yerlittlehelper.livejournal.com]

I've been here a couple days. Before that I was...working. And it was 2027 last time I checked.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Anything specific or just "working."

[best_day_ever]

Oh, I've been here about two and a half weeks. I was testing out some Super Shoes with Ferb and then I woke up on this satellite! And it's [insert some year between 2007 and 2011 because we don't have a specific one]!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Super Shoes? What do those do?

[itsjustamike.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll answer those questions.

I'd say...about a month or so? That other guy was here longer.

Well, I was temping for those Mads. And then they lost the other guy, and, well...

Nnnnnow. Which would be 1993.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[as usual he is writing this down in his notes]

I'm guessing the other guy is the one the robots mentioned named Joel, right?

Can you remember what you were doing 3 weeks ago? The bots couldn't seem to remember exactly.
