Current Mood: awake
Current Music: Those damned compys.

(no subject)

It's 2:00am here on Isla Sorna and the sound of compys (Procompsognathus for those of you unfamiliar with dinosaur slang) chirping and scratching against the walls of the trailer prevents me from getting any sleep whatsoever. With my luck, I’m probably the only one awake and definitely the only one typing away at a laptop this late at night. But, hey. Anything to pass the time.

My name is Ian Malcolm and I’m a ~~mathematician~~ chaotician. Really, I couldn’t think of a better community to join, especially one that thrives on such chaos. It would make for an interesting experiment to see if my arrival might effect the community as a whole and if it will (hopefully not) cause any turbulence. Yup. That’s chaos theory for you.

...This pink layout is hurting my eyes.

This is depressing.

I'm a depressing person.

Sounds like it~ so what do chaoticians do?

Study chaos theory, of course. Erm...simply put, chaos theory is unpredictability and learning how to use it to predict things that were once thought to be random and erratic. You know...stuff like the weather, the economy, the atmosphere, etc.

What about stuff like...human emotion? Hearts? That's pretty random.

Yes, I guess you're right. Emotions can be pretty unpredictable, especially negative emotions like anger. But I don't think chaos theory could really apply to stuff like emotion. In the end, you're the only one who can control your emotions.

Why do you ask?

Because. Uh. Hearts are power?

...Well, yeah. They're basically the most important organ next to the brain...

...uh. I meant, like, the metaphorical thing. That controls emotion and stuff.

Oh. That heart.

Mmm...emotions don't apply to chaos theory. A "heart" is too random. So many emotions, so many ups and downs. It's just too staggering.

As much as I hate to admit it, there are some systems chaos theory just can't predict. Hearts are one of them.

Of course.

Is there a reason why you ask? You seem to have an interest in the heart. Why?

Um. Yes? Uh. It's a bit of a long story.

Understandable if you don't want to talk about it. We barely know each other anyway.

Yeah, you still haven't told me how you came to be in a trailer surrounded by dinosaurs.

Well, it's a funny story. Basically, there's this billionaire who one day had the bright idea of cloning dinosaurs to put into an amusement park. I was one of the unlucky bastards who was chosen as a consultant for his little pet project and was sent to a godforsaken island where a bunch of dinosaurs chased me around and nearly ate my leg.

That was four years ago.

Now, I’m being forced to go to another fun dinosaur island to document the animals in their natural habitat. With the exception of my girlfriend and daughter, I’m surrounded by idiots in a trailer with no letal weapons to defend myself or my loved ones with.

Uh, there are some other minor little details, but I don't think you wanna hear about those.

...billionaires are stupid. I hope Rufus doesn't try something like that.

Well, unless he has access to a large supply of dino DNA, I think you're safe for now.

...he has access to a bunch of alien monstrosity DNA. Shit!

Oh.

OH.

Take him out before he manages to clone anything. TAKE HIM THE FUCK OUT.

...I'm not gonna do it!

Well, I can't do anything from where I'm at. Nor do I think I want to face down aliens; I have enough problems with dinosaurs already.

But I already have problems with crazy heartless scientist organization leaders!

WELL, SO DO--

Wait.

What?

The Superior. He's a crazy heartless scientist organization leader. He used to be my boss.
