That's heavy

Marty McFly || Occasional Time Traveller and Saver of the World - or at least Hill Valley. Okay, okay mostly I'm just looking out for myself. Sue me, I like my timeline just so. [Independent roleplay blog for Martin "Marty" Seamus McFly from the Back to the Future films/games. Marty's timeline is set post-films but before most of the stuff in the games. If you want to be real picky, June 14, 1986.]

“No,” Charles said quite plainly “as I suspected - you’re telling the truth. So - tell me, Marty. What are you doing here six years before you were even born? You don’t look like the sort of chap who has any real reason to be in 1962?”

[thatsprettyheavy]

   "Ah-- well. No. Not really. It's just my ah, my car... broke down."

Not the car itself, though that did happen. The time circuits seemed to be out of whack and Marty didn't have the first clue of how to fix them. Of course, he didn't even understand how the DeLorean was even there at all, in one piece, but he needed to focus on one problem at a time. 

           "I guess you know when I was born because                 of the mind reading thing, huh? That's a cool trick."

[professorcfxarchive]

'Please, don't panic. I'm just trying to read your mind.'

'I need to be certain that you don't mean any harm.'

[thatsprettyheavy]

   His laugh was forced. "What? A guy can't joke that he's from the future without someone thinking he's a threat? What is the world coming to?"

ooc: so I've been back on this blog just a few days and I have like 10 drafts. Like 4 of those are Carrie. "You love it," she says. YOU ARE A DORK, CARRIE.

"Do you need help with that?"

[thatsprettyheavy]

   "Huh-- oh. No." He's definitely not being suspicious at all, the way he's standing in front of the open gull-wing door of the DeLorean. He actually could use help getting the car started, but didn't want to risk anyone seeing the inside of the time vehicle.

           "I'm good. Thanks anyway."

nxwtongeiszler replied to your post:But Rory, why DOES the DeLorean exist in 1986, where you've set your Marty?

[in conclusion: timey wimey]

ooc: it really is though. And it doesn't make much sense. And unless you ask the right questions to Doc at this one part in the first episode of the game, it's just never explained. It never comes up again. Marty just accepts it.

[thatsprettyheavy]

But Rory, why DOES the DeLorean exist in 1986, where you've set your Marty?

Why that is a GOOD QUESTION. It's true that in October of 1985 the DeLorean was destroyed by a train. But the DeLorean is a huge part of the franchise and so the game meant bringing it back. When Marty asks, Doc explains that when the DeLorean was struck by lightning in 1955 one car was sent back to 1885 with Doc while the other was sent forward seventy years. He retrieved it at some point post-movies. He then used the DeLorean to go back in time where he landed himself in jail in the Hill Valley of 1931. At some point, the automatic retrieval system took over and sent the car, along with a recorded set of instructions for Marty, to May of 1986.

"One that I’m reallysure I would love to hear.”

[thatsprettyheavy]

   "Right. Okay-- well, the DeLorean is, well it's a time machine." He explained about how his friend Doctor Emmett Brown had invented it and briefly mentioned some of their previous adventures, from 1955 to 1885.

   "But the car was destroyed. Run over by a train. So when Doc sent the distress message along with the car from 1931... I mean, I shouldn't be here. I mean beyond the fact that the Enterprise I know of is a fictional ship from a television show twenty years in my past-- along with a few movies..." But he was getting sidetracked. "I started off in Hill Valley. I shouldn't have been able to get out of Hill Valley by using the time circuits. Shouldn't happen. I don't think." Maybe he didn't know the DeLorean as well as he'd thought, after all. Who knew what this car could do?

[captainpicxrd]

"I assure you that this is very real. As real as the Delorean car that has somehow found its way onto my ship."

[thatsprettyheavy]

   Okay. Real star ship. Real star ship, real problem.         "Yeah, there's a really good story behind that car."

"Brand new. Just arrived--"

   He looked down at his watch, which currently    told him it was 2:37 in the morning. So much    for that.

         "--a few hours ago. Been ah, seeing the sights."

[thatsprettyheavy]

   "Unrealistic." She's kidding, right?               "Which part of-- of this--"

He gestured wildly towards the screen.       "--is unrealistic? I think it could happen.        I think it could happen exactly like this."

[headsisdead-deactivated20140907]

"My reasons for being here are my own." That, and he didn’t want to be hindered in his quest to determine how many tears that ridiculous car had produced. The fabric of space-time in Hill Valley had become ever so slightly unstable due to the time travelling DeLorean.

[thatsprettyheavy]

   "That's fair," he said, assuming the reasons were something he wouldn't be interested in anyway.

   During the course of their adventures, the Doc had often explained (or tried to explain) to Marty about the consequences of their actions with the DeLorean. But after they'd returned home, after they'd returned to a different, better, happier home-- well, Marty hadn't really considered the downside. Why would he want to?
