Scivillage

(I'm thinking about eventually passing it off as an unavoidable after effect of witnessing the reversal of the space-time continuum earlier. ;) Just have to see how long before I get bored with it... :D)
 
deciding i kinda like the smoked out look on the pond, i set up a machine that can produce smoke with a pull of a lever. I also purged my sunbaking rock into the pond, and began the hunt for another one. Of all places....
 
Borrowing apeman for a while, i find a tree with a basket-like branch arrangement, and program him to replant it for me. While he was doing that, one of his compartments comes loose, revealing a number of buttons. Curious.

I wonder what they do?

Closing it up, i allowed apeman to finish his job, while i build an extention to the pond into my garden, with a bridge over it. Originally, i only wanted a little strip, but when i looked up, the pond became a moat around the garden, over 10 meters wide. I didn't realise that the pond had that much water in it, then thought prompted me to understand it must be fed by a underground stream.

A solar-powered fountain in the shape of a giant peace-sign finished it off.

After a power session with Doc NuttyFish, I feel right as rain. He gave me a new batch of drugs that should not affect me so seriously as the last. I told him about the apparition coming to me again and offering me a job. He theorizes how this hallucination might be my minds way of getting over the anxiety of losing first my mother then Blue. He suggests that I do as the hallucination asks. Perhaps the gazebo is symbolic for the comfort that I never received from my mother and the barbecue pit symbolizes mother's love, that nurturing, feeding essence of motherhood. He says it's not usual procedure to cater to the hallucination like this, but my case seems to be somewhat extreme and perhaps it may be beneficial. I thank him with a tip of my hat and head back to the surface.

When I arrive at the surface, I see the apparition has been busy working on her garden. A nice little moat, a bridge, a fountain. This proves that it must be an hallucination. The skill with which these have been constructed is wonderful. Blue was a scientist not a builder so this hallucination must be tapping into my builder's knowledge to form the fantasmagoria. Ahh, I see her. She's directing Grape as he moves boulders about and prettifies the scene.

I give her a wave and find that my feelings of trepidation have vanished. I gather the materials I need and begin construction on the gazebo. It shouldn't take long.

(Figured I'd be useful... Hard to be helpful if I keep collapsing to the ground. :p And, by the way, the buttons are in the organ grinder, a musical instrument. Grape Ape is flesh and blood. Is this confusion why you oiled him? I was wondering about that... :D By the way, Grape Ape was a cartoon character. A 100 foot tall gorilla with a dog for a friend, Beasley if I remember rightly. The famous line was "A 100 foot tall, purple gorililililililililla!!!" As whoever saw ran in fear. Grape Ape! :))
 
(Seems as though NuttyFish got a little, as well. And, I wonder what SpuriousMonkey and SwedishFish do at teatime other than drink tea. And there was some innuendo in a workshed at one time... And, I always wondered about Kunax's relationship with cat. Some things go unspoken you know... ;))
 
Whew, I wipe the sweat from my forehead. It's been a long productive day. I finished the Gazebo quite a while ago. And the barbecue pit was finished soon after. Since then, the apparition has had me running about building this and touching up that. We've hung chinese lanterns about from strings strung between trees. Set up tables, a bar, a dance floor. The place is really starting to shape up nicely.

The roast ox is cooking away over the barbecue pit. It's smelling quite good. I'm somewhat surprised by this. I understand how the hallucination was able to tap into my construction knowledge. But, I'm a horrible cook (untrue. I can actually make several excellent dishes. Lasagna.... *drool*) so I don't understand how it is able to cook such a succulent feast as this. Just the perfect blend of spices and it seems to be being cooked to absolute perfection. She was quite efficient at gutting it and butchering it as well. I don't recall if the real Blue had this butchery skill. I know I certainly never did. Didn't teach us things like that at the orphanage.

At last, the preparations are complete. The place is a wonderland. A veritable paradise. The hallucination and I trade congratulations on work well done. The sun is about to set. I better head down to the pond and wash the work sweat off. The hamster love fest seems to be over. Or at least moved. I hear some Barry White floating eerily drifting across the smoke covered pond. "Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby. Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah baby." I can't make out the source. But, I am guessing it comes from the hamster's love shack.

I strip and dive in the pond. Nice touch, this fog. But, a bit late. I think we've all seen each other naked enough that it hardly matters anymore. :p
 
Hmm, I smell food....something roasting nearby...better get moving.
I leav my house and follow the smell, it leads me to a nice little garden that was still under construction yesterday. I have to say, SexBlue can obviously work quite fast, but perhaps Inverts big ape was a help?
Anyway, I see a big ox cooking over a fire. Damn I am hungry...
 
After the bath, I dry off and get dressed in my finest clothes, take some more pills, and head to the garden. The Blue hallucination is nowhere in sight. The garden still seems very real. Maybe I really built the whole thing? Dreamwalker is the only one who has shown up. He's ravenously tearing into the roast ox. What an animal. He's practically wallowing in it. His whole body is practally smeared with ox juice. I find a portion of ox that he hasn't touched yet and cut off some meat and put it on my plate. Then, I head over to the salad bar (which Dreamwalker hasn't even touched) and dish up some potato salad and other side dishes. It's probably rude to begin eating without the host, but since she's just my hallucination anyway, and also since Dreamwalker was well on his way to consuming the entire ox... I think I can live with myself. I sit down next to the fountain to eat.

I wonder if anyone else is coming? Except for the hamster love fest, the village has been rather quiet lately. Almost as though the apocalypse that so recently threatened us all still lingers in the air.

As I think of the events of that day, my mind swims a bit and I get an uneasy feeling in my mind. Once again, I feel as though none of this is real. As if I am just being written into reality by someone else. Someone real as opposed to my unreality. Just a story on a page.
 
As the sun rose over the lake, Fay Ray stirred beside me. I kissed her, and got up to make some breakfast. I put some bacon on, and watched the humans on the screen. Th mike seemed to be picking up "Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby. Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah baby." How strange, I thought. Its not me, unless the mike is on a feedback loop. Wonder who it could be. My computer bleeped.
[You have 1 new message] I had your sister. [message ends]
I have a sister? Ah who cares, I've got along without a sister so far, why should I start caring now?
I took the bacon in to Fay Ray. She was still asleep. Ahhh, she looks so cute.
 
Hey Invert, I have some manners, I wasn´t living in the jungle my whole life. And it wasn´t my intetion to bathe in the oil and fat dripping from the ox.
Hey SexyBlue, where are you? Didn´t you say something about scirum?
 
:)p Your hunger must have got the better of you then... :D meh, just chalk it up to another hallucination then. Damn pills that Nuttyfish are giving me are probably messing me up worse than if I never took them... :D)
 
("the village has been rather quiet lately. Almost as though the apocalypse that so recently threatened us all still lingers in the air."
I think your wrong, it's moving much faster then usual)
 
(It was quite busy in here for a while. Newcomers are always extravagant in their desires to "catch up" and go with the flow. Probably a consequence of reading the past story in one go rather than the slow build up in which it actually took place. It's quieted down now though. Hell, I can't even get NuttyFish to psychoanalyze me... :p

I want my money back, by the way... I must have paid only as a consequence of being so drugged up, because my original intent was to pay by constructing your facilities...)
 
The participation comes and goes. There's only about 6 of us, so i don't think there's many underlying factors here.
Sorry, i'm still connecting Grape Ape with the robot.

I lost track of time in the lab, and didn't emerge until late in the night.
ARGH BBQ!!!
I ran over there to see the food demosished. At least they enjoyed it.
 
Dreamwalker and I had a nice little conversation over dinner. It turns out that he had better manners than I had originally thought. He even stuck his pinky out when he was taking a swig of scirum. In fact, he seemed somewhat disgusted at my manners. The nuns had tried to instill proper etiquette into me at the orphanarium, but I was a poor student and never learned to keep my elbows off the table. The nuns were bitches anyway, all except for Sister Mary Catherine. She was a nubile young thing. Even in her nun's habit, I could make out her lithe form. Perfectly made for carnal desires. I spent many a night pondering what wonders she might hide beneath her habit. What delicate shade of pink her...

*Yawn* Must have dozed off. Where am I? Ahh, the garden. I was having the most wonderful dream of Sister Mary Catherine. Wait, what's that? Someone approaches. Who is it? The night mist obscures the form. Is it? Can it be? Sister Mary Catherine? Am I still dreaming? She draws closer. It's Blue. What's she doing in a habit? She looks so sexy that way. With only her blue feet poking out from beneath her robes.

As she draws closer still, the image of the habit shimmers and fades and I see that she is in fact dressed in pajamas. Cute pink pajamas with the powerpuff girls emblazoned upon them in various action poses. She seems so real. How can it be possible that she is illusion?

I give a wave and a shout. I notice that I have a plate nearby full of food. I must have subconsciously saved it for her. Strange thing to do for an illusion, but I am determined to get to the root of this strange psychosis that I am experiencing and the only way to do so is to converse with the apparition... With Blue.
 
Night has set by the time I get to the BBQ, in the eerie light of the full moon only the reddish glow of my eyes is seen for a time, as I surveys the BBQ site, it was not here a few days ago.

Sexy Blue arrives and sit down opersid(sp err. Other side of table facing Nexus) Nexus and they begin to talk, Nexus seem to be settling down a bit. About then I see the the ox, and in a flash I stand before the BBQ, after a few attempts to reach in over the fire pit, a strange aroma of burned hair start to linger in the air, with a final push of a paw I give up reaching the ox, leaving it spinning, the coals still radiating to much heat for my liking.

(something for Nexus hallucination)
Being an omnivore I move right along to the second best think, the salads. While munching on the salads Nexus start to look on over Sexy Blue's shoulder, his getting that weird look in his eyes again.
Just like i have seen humans do before, I smile back at Nexus, a smile from ear to ear showing all the dents and mouth full of salad, even a tomato pierced on a fang, for some reach Nexus seems more disturbed after that, oh well on the the pasta salad.
 
Well, I chatted with the hallucination until the sun came up. I'm not sure we got anywhere. Sometime during the night, I noticed movement over by the salad bar. It seemed that the salad was moving about. From it's green depths rose a cat-like head. My head began to ache once more. Visions of the cat-army ricocheted through my head. Veering off of tender nodes of memory striking a fire as it went. The head turned towards me and... smiled. A hideous, green smile. A smile of cosmic conflagration. The horrid green of the death rays blasting the village clean of life. Within the green was a vivid red. Red the color of blood. The blood of the village. Brutally slain that day. The vision continued to bounce around my brain cage. My nose began to bleed. Red.

"It happened... NO!! It didn't HAPPEN!! YES!! YES!! It did!! No!"

I clench my hands over my head. The visions coming fast and furious. The day of doom. The day I died. The day I first saw Blue on the rock. The day I came to the village. Farther back. The orphanage. Sister Mary Catherine. Being beaten unmercifully by cold, brutal nuns. Being taken to the orphanage by a weeping woman. A woman who, when she looked at me, had nothing but hate in her eyes, her cold blue eyes. A man being viciously torn apart by a mob. Myself crying out from hunger drawing their attention. A beleaguered family escaping a war-torn land. A happy family living in luxury. They call me prince. A bright piercing light.

"Why, mother, why did you leave me? I was a little boy! I didn't mean to kill father! You shouldn't have left me! MOTHER!! COME BACK!!! I'M SORRY!!! FORGIVE ME!!"

I collapse once more into oblivion.

(A breakthrough I should think... :D)

Living, dying, screaming in pain.
Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain.
Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain,
Radical amputation, this is insane.

Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest.
Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest.
Soldier of misfortune
Hunting with bated breath.

A vile smell, like tasting death.
Dead bodies, dying and wounded
Litter the city streets
Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit.
Dying in terror,
Blood's cheap, it's everywhere.
Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line.

-Mandatory Suicide, Slayer

(By the way, Kunax, it's opposite. And thanks for the breakthrough. :D King Nexus. I like the sound of that. Although, I suppose it's just prince in exile at the moment. Hmm. I wonder if it was a communist revolution.)
