I'M CONFUSED ABOUT MY AGE!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

So there's a new teacher around here, dr_tommy. I remember seeing this guy at the Fox Kids Saturday Morning Christmas Parties back in the mid-90's. Back then he was just a long-haired kid who changed what color theme he used for his wardrobe every year. And now he's a professor... nay, a doctor? With glasses?

He's received a doctorate and aged enough that his eyesight has deteriorated while the amount I've aged is not only indeterminate, but perhaps even negligible!

EGADS! HOW WEIRD IS THAT?

Hrm.


I think I shall just blame Rory.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

She was 7 years old when my show was on the air. I'm pretty sure this couldn't be her fault.

... or could it?

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

You're obviously nigh-invunerable to the ravages of time.

Unlike this poor guy.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Egads! That may be it, Callisto!

I kinda feel sorry for him. I couldn't deal with it if my eyesight was no longer keen.

Dude, I was 15 eleven years ago, and I'm just turning 17 in April.

Figure that out.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's easy. You travel here through a rift in space in time. Chronologically, your age makes sense.

It's not that you didn't age for eleven years, it's just that you skipped that time.

Unlike me.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Dude, don't even get started on that with me. 'cause technically? In canon? I'm actually at least six years older than my girlfriend even though we're the same age here.

Maybe even ten.

I can't handle that. I might go emo.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

But you're also from the future, chum! If you're going to be picky about your timeline in relation to time here, you're negative-some-big-number years old!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she's from even further in the future than I am, then! *flails*

Or . . . I'm confused, Mister The Tick! Math is so not my strong suit!

My brain hurts.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

But when you're talking about, what, a few hundred years? Then a decade isn't a big deal.

Unless you go back to your time and try to start a relationship with Cally-of-that-time. Then you're a creepy person and should be thrown in jail.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

. . .

. . .

*cries*

That settles it then. I'm never going home. I'd only get left behind to die eventually anyway.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Good for you, Wise Man! It's best to choose a life of non-creepiness early!

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

...Wait, I'm sekritly dating a possibly older man?

Go me!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Technically, yes.

I don't know why, but I suspect it's best if you don't tell Rory about this.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

*goes looking for Rory*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I like older men. You're allowed to.

*does not mention anything one might DO on a date with an older man*

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

Giraffes?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Giraffes!

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

...It's a government conspiracy.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Watch it, mister. Don't make me throw my shoe at you.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

I think my experience lends me justification to label weird and unexplainable happenings as government conspiracy.

Also your outfit. What is it with female operatives running around in heels?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

I have my eye on you.

And heels are more aerodynamic when thrown like a boomerang than flats. That's why I wear them, at least.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Do you always get them back? If you don't, you're sort of stuck hobbling around, aren't you?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you want to play 20 questions, you should have been in Tick's class last semester.

I say this mainly because I have no good answer.

[mycanonhatesme]

Maybe he's an alien clone assassin! *gasp*

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Wait-- which one? The Tick? Dr Tommy?

OR BOTH? Dun dun duuuuuun! *has spiker ready at hand, just in case*

[mycanonhatesme]

I'm pretty sure The Tick isn't an assassin. I'm also pretty sure you'll get in trouble if you try to spiker him. *snickers*

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

No alien clone assassins here as far as I know!

An extra-dimensional being once made a mucussy clone of me and tried to kill me with it. But that clone was green and didn't speak, so I'm not him.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

How about this one? I'm a teenager, but Liz Weir (and adult in a teenager body) actually remembers a fight from my adult years where I go MIA.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, that one's just confusing.

Maybe you're from a reality alternate to Liz's where you were just born about 20 years later?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think I might just be from a different time considering how the adult me is in Janet and Sam's universe too.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Um... Uh...

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Keen, sir!

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Well, technically I don't think he's there anymore, if that helps.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not really...

[can_be_more]

You know, technically speaking, I think canon says I should actually be 30ish in Sebacean years. Yet equivalent to a human 16-year-old.
