Emmett lead Miss Sparkle to the his not!mother's Florist Shop, as they comminuted there he obvoiusly wasn't concerned about Twilight leaking out the secert base to anyone else. The bell rang as the door to the Florist Shop was open, Emmett held the door open for Miss Sparkle, "After you." Oddly enough, Emmett wasn't trying to play into this 1950 nightmare, just how he was raised from the earlier part of the century.

No? It's incredibly fascinating. [Letting go of the book with one hand due to exictment some paper drops out of the book]

The town can send things back.. However, the trade off can be rather harsh.

[magicalrealist]

With a title like "The Time Machine," it has to be fascinating. It makes you wonder if somepony could ever invent one someday... (Hint hint.)

I imagine so. It'd be too easy to just get my magic back at no cost. Things are never that easy.

LOL and was pushed by a purple pony all makes sense now xD

[Emmett's eyes sparkle]

To see hypothetically where mankind may be going, seeing the process of mankind. [Emmett is eyeing just beyond Twilight as he speaks, like he's looking into the future]

That's so much better then a power rocket car that makes traffic a thing of the past isn't it?

[Showing the blueprints of a flying car]

[Emmett nods] I like to think life is like physics, equilibrium.

Ponies are inspirational! :D

[magicalrealist]

(Is he...staring off at the other side of the room? Twilight has seen this before...

...oh, she's done that before. Many many times.)

Much better, definitely. There's so much that could be done, could be learned! But with that equilibrium, that means there's responsibility that could come with a time machine.

yes yes they are :3

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

[Emmett is now deep in thought for a bit] I haven't thought of that. [Looking back at the book. Great book but that time traveler doesn't seem to even mention that or the author for that matter]

Tell me more about magic in your world and how that balances with science.

[magicalrealist]

(She'll gladly do that.)

Both of them are practiced regularly and equally. Magic is exclusive to unicorns, but everypony can practice science if they want to. They're both accepted as everyday parts of life in Equestria.

Because of my dedication to studies, I've dedicated myself to mastering both. I was making excellent progress back home, but since meeting others in Mayfield, I've realized there are many other types of magic out there and I want to learn them all!

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

Fascinating. A world where magic and science coincide to the accepted parts of life.

.... Are they able to be combined?

[magicalrealist]

Yup! And both are capable of great things!

I can't imagine why not. If such a feat was accomplished, the combination would be capable of much more than what's available right now! It could be the next greatest thing that could change the world!

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

I wonder if that's the functionality of this plane of existance.... [Though it was kinda tearing Emmett up that magic would be any 'logical' cause but then he couldn't explain how a pony was speaking to him elsewise besides delusional and he had made sure earlier that he was in fact awake]

[magicalrealist]

Now that you mention it...that's a very probable theory. And it would explain why so many people aren't familiar with how they manage what they can manage.

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

Might also explain, when mother told me Lucy Smith can bend the physical reality of this place.... Either that or she processes a machine powerful enough to bend time and space at will in Einstein’s equation E= MC2.

[Small crazy laugh and here I was about to buy into that magic business] ... [stares at Twilight. Again she makes a valid point about magic being real]

Great scott. We need a way to test this theory.

[magicalrealist]

If one machine can be capable of preventing anypony from dying, then I don't doubt the possibility of another machine being able to completely reshape time and space. After all, Mayfield can rebuild damaged and destroyed buildings in a day.

We need to, but what exactly would that entail? Provoke Lucy Smith into triggering that?

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

[Emmett gives her a look. Course not that would be idiotic] If we could a device to pick up on the wave motions, that disturbances the normal frequency we could find out at least where that machine is located if such a machine exists.

[magicalrealist]

That sounds like a great idea! We should get started on it!

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

I'll have to get some materials first and draw up a blueprint.... I wouldn't mind assistance just - [besides her mind what else could Twilight help with? She has no hands]

[magicalrealist]

(She's oblivious to those thoughts, so Twilight's just standing there.)

Is something wrong?

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

Well, it's only - I'm not exactly sure how much assistance you could give....

[magicalrealist]

(Oh...she figured it out now.)

It's because I don't have hands, isn't it?

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

Well... It does keep you rather limited...

[magicalrealist]

It just means I can't really help with the construction or the physical aspects of the project; that doesn't mean I can't help with the designing or brainstorming.
