Discovery #48

[saikyocivrobo]

This alternate reality-hopping adventure... It was certainly something. For better or for worse, I don't think I will forget about it anytime soon. Or ever.

It was also exactly what I needed. I'm feeling alright now. And it's time to get to work... We have several important matters to resolve and a madman to stop, after all. I'm sure I can help with devising a plan somehow.

Texotic, Coztic... Watch me.

Now that's the Werter I know.

[saikyocivrobo]

Someone I really cared about departed lately. I'm using that word because I'm not 100% sure she's dead. Though she probably is...

Regardless, I cannot mourn her forever. She wouldn't want that either.

[the_awakened_idol]

Mmmmmmm, the way you talk about her makes me feel a bit jealous.

[saikyocivrobo]

I'd lie if I said I didn't feel anything for her. But in the end, it was just friendship. And I was okay with that, too.

The one she loved... They are together, now.

[the_awakened_idol]

Personally, I wouldn't have been happy with just being friends...but I think you already know that.

[saikyocivrobo]

Indeed, I know.

...We'll see in time, alright?

[2000_skills]

That's the spirit. Welcome back.

[saikyocivrobo]

I've never been really gone. Not to the point where I stop doing what's right.

[2000_skills]

Either way, good to have you back in high spirits.

[saikyocivrobo]

I agree.

[2000_skills]

Besides that though, you finally got to show up your enemies one last time. That was something.

[link_to_revival]

Good to hear.

And if you ever need a little bit of help in the area of physics or portals... feel free to ask.

[saikyocivrobo]

Don't worry. I think I still know more about them than most laymen. And after what happened today... I don't think I will want to dabble with portals anytime soon.

[link_to_revival]

That's... probably for the best. Take it from someone who had to learn that the hard way.

[saikyocivrobo]

When all this fighting is over, something tells me we will have to invest heavily in safety procedures for all scientific experiments.

[turningyaponese]

Good. We can't have all of our nerds sulking over something.

[saikyocivrobo]

I cannot stay sad about Texotic forever. She said it herself; I'll remember her in other ways. The good ones.

[turningyaponese]

So then, just what did you see that got you so inspired all of a s udden?

[saikyocivrobo]

I've seen... Different world. Alternate realities, where things went completely differently; sometimes better, sometimes worse. It gave me a sense of perspective.

Also, having to fight two overpowered and arrogant gods at once helped.

[turningyaponese]

Hmm... honestly that sounds like a trip almost everyone could use at least once. If not just to show them what good their current life is like, but, answer some of those 'What if's'.

Seems like it really helped you out though. I'm glad. Going back home for a while helped me too.

[emorangerpink]

Every description I'm hearing of what happened out there is really, really confusing.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, some things I've seen there just defy description. Others make sense only if you acknowledge that our understanding of the world is still really limited.

...And others were patently ridiculous to begin with.

[emorangerpink]

That just describes the status quo here.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well then. Dr West's malfunctioning created a rip in time and space which sucked me and a few other people in, I witnessed dozens of alternate realities (some of which were really messed up) before ending up in the same dimensional prison as Artifex and Baphomet, we had to stop them from reaching the device while West and Tesla were working on it, somehow we defeated both gods and reduced them to the forms of a whiny brat and old codger respectively, instead of going home we ended up on some planet populated by very condescending people, and then we went home. Artifex had an army of mass-produced Prometheuses.

I think that's all, in a very brief version and not counting Yuu's complicated friends and family situation. It all ended well though.

[emorangerpink]

Mass-produced.

Prometheuses.
