A storm? Is there really? (Metaphors, if that's what it was, might go a little bit over Eddie's head at times. He understood them fine and all but he was still young enough that certain words put him on edge. Words like 'storm'.)
That is so fu- That is the coolest thing ever. I didn't know girls could be soldiers. Could you take out a boy? (Eddie is absolutely thrilled by this prospect. Thing was, Eddie wasn't very masculine, didn't have a lot of weight to his body and was small even among his friends. There was the whole sick thing too. And sexist though it was, the idea of a girl who- in his time period- were known for being small and weak growing up to be a soldier? It gave him a weird sense of hopefulness.
He's pretty quickly distracted though by her given date.)
2186?! Yee-owza. That's. I don't even know how far off that is, wow. I'm from 1958...So does that mean NASA figured out space exploration?
(They had only just started where Eddie was from but...Wow. But then again, wasn't he in space right now? He hadn't found the observatory yet so he actually is still pretty far removed from that idea.)
Honestly, no. There's some pretty weird people here. I talked to a skeleton even. (A really nice one, mind.) So I'm starting to get a sense that I should probably just accept stuff as it is. It's like my mom says, adults are always right.
