The Date At The End Of The Universe

[gudbye_despair]

(Locked to Roads)

*Suddenly out of nowhere, no matter what you're doing, you're ambushed by a certain young girl.*

Mr. Roads, you're late!

1/2

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Gah-!

2/2

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[Well, that gets him to put down some of his robot fixin' tools.]

...Late for what?

Re: 2/2

[gudbye_despair]

Silly... Our date of course!

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[The brilliant mind of Roads Blackwell snaps into action! Capable of performing advanced calculus unaided, it crunches hundreds of complicated equations to arrive at the appropriate answer for this situation!]

...Sorry?

[It is not geared for social work.]

[gudbye_despair]

Hee. I know you're bad at things like this, that's why I prepared everything. The universe is ending with fate worse than death soon, with the incoming cosmic horror and everything, so before we're all turned into half-sentient insane gibbering blob, we're going to have a date! Come, Mr. Roads!

*Elena then holds Roads' hand and pulls him away from his workstation.*

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[Roads offers little resistance as he follows along.]

...Okay...

So, where are we going?

[gudbye_despair]

Your room would be the best, if we could get rid of that living book.

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[worry intensifies]

...Sure, I'll ask her to leave.

Are you alright?

[They do indeed come to Roads's room, and he shoos Eibon out quickly enough.]

[gudbye_despair]

Aah... Mr Roads' room.

*Elena sniffs the air like she's in a flower field*

So... Sorry, I don't usually act this way. It's just because this is the first time I'm actually invited to be here.

But umm... now what?

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Well, I dunno...Did you have something planned?

We could go out for dinner, or maybe see a movie...

[gudbye_despair]

I'm just caught off guard, I just didn't actually expect for you to allow me to enter your room!

I prepared a movie. Ta-dah! It's an old movie I found in the german internet... called... Tetsuo... the... Iron Man? So it should be about robot? I thought you'd enjoy it!

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Oh, cool! I love robots!

[Nope, he hasn't heard of this film. Though this also seems to put a temporary damper on the Elena hitting on him thing, so that's nice too.]

Go ahead and pop it in.

[gudbye_despair]

*And the movie is... well... it's about robot alright. If you squint your eyes. And ignoring all the horrible violence. Elena seems to enjoy it a lot.*

Ha ha ha! This movie is so silly. He's turning into a very weird robot, Mr. Roads!

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Yeah, he really is...

[This is kind of weird. Still, as time goes on, Roads relaxes more-the movie's hardly scary to him, so he gets to just sit back and enjoy the trippiness.]

I kinda feel bad for that office lady...

[gudbye_despair]

*Elena leans toward Roads at the climax of the movie, where the protagonist and antagonist merge into one horrific monster*

This is so romantic... I have no regret anymore.

Hey, want to throw stones at ducks on the pond next?

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[He puts an arm around her shoulders, not really thinking about it.]

...Can't we just try skipping stones instead? I mean, I'm not that opposed to beating up waterfowl, but it's kinda...mean.

[gudbye_despair]

Oh really? That's what people do with stones and pond? What about the ducks? The ducks must be there for something.

What do you think about the other dimension, Mr. Roads? Do you think there will be ducks there?

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Well, normally people feed the ducks, or just watch them swim on by...

...If there are any ducks there, they're probably fire-breathing nightmare ducks that can induce hallucinations.

We should throw rocks at those ones...You're planning on coming?

[gudbye_despair]

Of course! I can't leave you alone, can I? I've packed everything! I even packed two toothbrushes, just in case!

I'm going to kill everyone in White Chalice beforehand just in case though. I owe them that.

1/2

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

...!

2/2

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

Yeah, uh....don't...don't do that part, with the killing and all.

...Maybe you could just give everyone cyanide pills instead? That way if we win, they won't die needlessly.

[I am gonna need a toothbrush, though...]

Re: 2/2

[gudbye_despair]

I know you're the smart one! That's a lot more efficient and effective than what I have in mind. I'll prepare some right away! I bet Mr. Wolf has some.

By the way, I have a surprise for you... Would you follow me, Mr. Roads?

*She leads you toward one of White Chalice's abandoned storage room.*

[sexygodofscienceandwar]

[Roads follows along willingly.]

...What kind of surprise?

[gudbye_despair]

Meet... Roads Jr... The fruit of our love...

*Wait what!?

Thankfully, it's just one of those power batteries you made back then, but dressed with a giant labcoat.*

I didn't throw away the baby you gave me back then, Mr. Roads. I just stuffed it with as many explosives as I could. It might actually be nuclear, tee hee.

I planned to leave this here primed as our final gift to White Chalice. But in light of what you just said, maybe it's better to bring this to the other dimension, right?
