Dee nods -- she may not get all of what Little Blaine's saying, but the general meaning is easy enough to parse. "Good -- that sounds like a bad place to get stuck," she says with feeling. "And I thought train tracks were bad. . .and having a real body is nice, isn't it?" She wiggles her fingers. "Hands are super useful. Legs too, though they're not as fast as wheels." She still prefers her DeLorean form for the speed, that's for sure.

She tilts her head at the rhyme -- well, that sort of came out of nowhere. "Uh -- okay. . ." she says slowly, unsure how to respond. Doesn't help that she doesn't have the most positive feelings about trains, having narrowly avoided being clobbered by one. (Granted, she knows if she had been clobbered, she wouldn't have felt it -- sapience only came with the mini-Rift that grabbed her just in time. But still, it's not a nice thought.)

Marty cant help a snort himself at that. "Figures, huh? Well, I'm glad you managed to change the world for the better. We're all anti-slavery -- Doc and I especially." Both before Arcadia, and definitely after.

The group considers this. "So -- sort of like how movie me went to the 50s, got between his parents, and almost prevented Dave, Linda, and himself being born, only you're not doing that weird fade-out thing?" Marty says, waggling a hand. "I thought that was a given if you mucked up the past like that."

"The rules of time travel might be very different in his universe," Doc says. "It's possible paradoxes don't function like they do in our home dimension. I assume Marty's roughly correct, though -- only I guess in your case it would more a part or plan essential to your construction being somehow destroyed." He personally wouldn't mind hearing the long version -- even if he isn't the same as his movie counterpart, time travel still fascinates him -- but he'll understand if Quint wants to just give a highlights reel. That's how he generally handles talking about Arcadia.
