Chapter Twenty Page 14
Bianca: Miranda? We need some help — we lost Sparrow!
Miranda: Have you tried putting birdseed in the yard and watching from the window?
Bianca: This is serious!
She was trying to do your teleporting trick, and she disappeared, and hasn’t come back!
Miranda: She WHAT.
Bianca: She took another Being with her — the Cat. We did a challenge with Patrick — trying to talk to her on the battlefield — but we couldn’t find either one of them.
Miranda: Wait, she didn’t try to jump to the battlefield, did she?
Bianca: No — I expected her to get pulled into it, like she always does. You think she actually landed there?
Miranda: You better hope not!
Bianca: What? Why? It’s never been dangerous before! Cold and wet, maybe . . .
Miranda: Think about it!
Time doesn’t pass in the real world while you’re in a battle. Or at least, it passes too slowly for humans to measure. My dad and Dr. Rosen did a week once. Still came back the second they left.
[Normal time]
[Battle]
[Sparrow vanishes]
[???]
[Battle]
Before this call even connected, she could’ve been gone an infinite amount of time.
Bianca: Why did I let her try this?? A shorter commute isn’t worth the risk! I’ll never complain about the MBTA again!!
Oooh, that’s a problem.
Relativity is a bitch.
Oh Bianca, you don’t really mean that. Everything is worth a shorter commute. Now I better get started on mine before I’m late for a third day this week.
Didn’t work. Three wrecks. THREE!
CAT could have been gone an infinite amount of time. Sparrow would be dead in hundred years – at least if she’s human.
It may be that you don’t age while in their, or age differently. Apparently Cohen did a week, which implies at least that food requirements are changed.
Or maybe they found a way to bring food with them.
They find Sparrow and Reseda, thousands of years into their personal timelines. The twist? They’ve had kittens.
Sparrow: …Don’t ask.
As it has already been stated that the Beings can change gender there isn’t a whole lot of asking required, other than how a supposedly infertile Being got her knocked up. Then again, with her strange connection to the Beings maybe she’s not entirely human thus could get knocked up by one…..
Who’s saying it was Sparrow who was knocked up? :-)
… if they don’t age in the battle, the babies wouldn’t age either.
I support this ship.
I highly doubt she is trapped in a battlefield. If there is a nearly infinite time dilation effect when in a battlefield after the first few subjective weeks Sparrow would probably start experimenting with the teleport scroll she’d made to find what went wrong and attempt to fix it, thus she’d already have saved herself.
