[Hardison steps up to the podium, trying to be as smooth about this as possible. He's not really succeeding very well, but points for effort, right? He's wearing a suit and everything. Never mind that it's for a con.]

...If I'm having my midlife crisis at 23, does that mean I'm going to die at 46? I mean, hypothetically.

[The weird ones are the best ones! Plus, she's adorable, don't even pretend she isn't.

And River eyes him dubiously, because that is not a name she recognizes.] What planet.

[becauseimjewish]

[Okay maybe she's a little bit adorable. He raises his eyebrows at the planet thing though.]

Earth. What planet are you from?

[bytwo]

Osiris. In the Core.

[And she eyeing him even more now, because... Earth-That-Was.] Your chronology is out of alignment.

[becauseimjewish]

Obviously I'm not the only one, here. You know, if we were anywhere else I'd have a hard time believing you, but... [He glances up at the sky, and shrugs.]

So what year are you from? 23rd century? 24th? Or does that count as a spoiler? [He might be grinning now, because omg future person from space Eliot will never believe him ever.]

[bytwo]

[She tosses her hair, because River is 100% a brat and enjoys knowing things other people don't.] Can't tell. It's a secret.

[becauseimjewish]

[Rude!!! Well fortunately for River, Hardison can also be a brat when he wants to be.] Well I won't tell you anything about the past if you won't tell me anything about the future.

Got history classes for that.

[She's bluffing. Recorded history doesn't go back that far.]

[becauseimjewish]

Obviously not very good history classes, if they don't even know where Boston is. [He's so smug right now.]

[bytwo]

[She makes a Face at him and only stops short of sticking her tongue out.

So there.]

[becauseimjewish]

[Hardison just laughs at that.] Are you at least gonna tell me your name, or do I just have to call you Future Girl?

[bytwo]

[She tilts her head for a moment, like she's thinking about it.]

I like Future Girl.

[becauseimjewish]

...Of course you do. [It's the same sort of there's something wrong with you tone he has with Parker that says he's still fond of her anyway.]

I'm Alec Hardison; though most people just call me Hardison. And also "Past Man" just sounds weird.

[bytwo]

It's in the tenses.

[Future >>>>>> past tense, obviously.]
