[First comes the video, with Walter in his usual labcoat with a makeshift laboratory in the background. It's obvious he's converted his living room into a lab with the sofa and table pushed up against the wall. He has taller tables arranged around with various types of equipment on it and he's looking down at some notes before he starts speaking, clearly reading what he's written.]

Hello, Luceti. My name is Doctor Walter Bishop. If you are seeing this, which I hope you are, then you are entered into candidacy for a new position as lab assistant. I am looking for individuals who are at least somewhat familiar with a laboratory setting and it's procedures. You must have an open and willing mind to see beyond that which--

[A microwave beeps and he stops reading, hurrying off excitedly.]

Ooh, popcorn's done!

[He comes back with a freshly popped bag of popcorn a few moments later and plops back in his seat, emptying the contents into a bowl off screen as he rereads his note.]

Where was I.... Open mind...lab....experiments... Ah! Yes, here we are.

To see beyond that which modern science calls "conventional." Those with mechanical expertise or degrees in physics or biochemistry are highly favored. It also helps if you can cook well or have an EZ-Bake Oven. Has anyone seen one recently? Such shame not to have one.

Oh, and yes here--

[He holds up his note, written in a careful left-handed slant to the camera so people can read it.]

Position: Lab Assistant
Hours: As necessary

Description: Looking for individuals who are at least somewhat familiar with a laboratory setting and it's procedures. You must have an open and willing mind to see beyond that which modern science calls "conventional." Those with mechanical expertise or degrees in physics or biochemistry are highly favored.

Extra Skills: Ability to cook, access to technology (EZ-Bake Oven), love of music, ability to work well under stress.


[He drops the notice and grabs a handful of popcorn.]

Please inquire within. O-or here, I suppose. I can answer any questions you may have since you'll be working for me.

How goes the search, Walter?

[He certainly wasn't going to volunteer. It wasn't his area of expertise at all]

Yes! Yes, October 26, 1985...! [He blurts out, praying that it'll all make sense to this scientist. And because Walter’s enthusiasm is as infectious as it is encouraging, Marty ends up rambling his way through an explanation as if he’s trying to rattle off as much information on Doc in a short amount of time, his hands making emphatic chopping motions. God, he has felt the overwhelming, desperate need to spill his guts to someone and it turns out it’s Walter’s lucky day. He can't help himself.]

He, he built a time machine out of a car, a DeLorean, and he told me to meet him at the Twin Pines mall parking lot at a quarter past one. He showed me how it works and said the flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible and that he came up with the idea when he was hanging up a clock and slipped and hit his head on the sink. All it needs is, is just a little plutonium or a bolt of lightning, something that can generate a ton of gigawatts. He was supposed to go first, but then... something happened...

[The crackle of gunfire echoes through his memory and he feels a dull pang in his chest, briefly shutting his eyes against the swelling sense of fear and sickness. He lets out a quiet, unsteady breath and swallows before pressing on, wearily.]

...and I was the one who ended up traveling through time. Except I went back thirty years to nineteen fifty five by accident... to before I was even born.

[That's even weirder now that he's actually heard himself say it. Blinking out of his daze he looks to Walter expectantly, completely unsure as to how it'll be taken.]

Well, maybe in some version of early America. I can't imagine that my universe is the only one with someone like Jules Verne-- dreaming of what science could accomplish.

Oh! So you're both scientists? It must have been very easy to find things to talk about.

Glad to hear it.

I have been alright. Keeping busy with the tea shop and chatting with people.

I work there now, it seemed a good option considering how much time I was spending there anyway.

[Might as well]

I think that is the main reason I went into tea brewing later on. I had always enjoyed a good cup of tea, but I hadn't thought of making my own business of it.

[He cringes a little at the making of tea on Bunsen burners. He wasn't exactly sure what they even were, but it didn't sound good]

My goodness, you certainly should. A properly made cup of tea is essential to one's well-being!

...how did you know? [When had Doc found the time to get news out about the DeLorean - and when did he decided he wanted to? God, it seems like it has all happened so fast.]

I see.

[He knew a few who partook in similar things. It wasn't what he generally choose to do, but to each their own]

Oh there is a art to the process. Taking careful time and preparation is essential for all food and beverage consumption.
future_boy: (really?)

2012... [He repeats with a note of wonder in his voice, doing some mental math and figuring out that that'd make him forty-four. Damn. As a teen, that just seems so... old. Surfacing from his thoughts, he blinks and focuses on the screen.]

Separate realities? [Give him a second to take that in. Or five. Although let's be real, you can give Marty ten minutes and he'd still be furrowing his brow in a pathetic attempt at figuring things out.] Wait a minute, what's this got to do with Doc, doc? [What the hell does even mean?]

Root beer float? I can't say I am familiar with it.
