Afterparty 2

[conways_retribution]

[Week 2: finished.

Death toll: 6.

With the defilement of Shinkansen Station, everyone and their mother has gone to send their thoughts and prayers to the "god" now that the fiendish Akudama who dared to harm it has been executed.

All but those X-Class Akudama that were still alive. This was yet another opportunity to take over more of Kansai's locales. Mainichi Treasure was the target this time, with some other locations being ransacked and robbed for some "decoration" and "entertainment". Who's going to miss a few robots anyway?

So kick back and relax. There's plenty of comfy chairs and sofas to go round in here. Maybe have a drink with the alcohol vending machine taken from the Karaoke Bar. Live like you're gonna die tomorrow.]

Yeah, Sacchin told me that too... It's actually been airing on TV for just two years so far where I come from. So... it's more of the hot new thing to me. _{[Time to unbox these TVs and try and find some outlets to plug them in.]}

[voidseeing]

You're from the 60s?

[THAT SURE IS... a time difference there, wow.]

This must be one heck of a culture shock to you. Last I checked, things like cellphones didn't even exist until the 70s.

[conways_retribution]

Yeah, this isn't what the future was in my head either. I thought we'd live in space and everything would be chrome and there'd be flying cars... _{[...this was a distractiin Jake needed too...]}

[voidseeing]

We've traveled to space by my time, but living there? [He makes a small sound, half-snort and half-laugh.] We're still having enough trouble just living on the earth as it is.

[conways_retribution]

I know Apollo 11 was set to shoot to the moon... How far has your world gone into space?

[voidseeing]

We've sent landers to Mars. Last I checked, we'd been working on sending them further.

[conways_retribution]

Holy shit... Mars? Are there any Martians? _{[This is a Very Important question.]}

[voidseeing]

Wouldn't that make life more interesting...

[conways_retribution]

Damn. _{[That was definitely a "maybe not" answer.]}

[voidseeing]

It's probably for the best.

[And there's an edge of something to his voice, tight and sharp as knives.]

Like I said, Earth has enough problems of its own already. The last thing we need is to add more.

[conways_retribution]

...yeah... _{[He's been in 'Nam, he knows firsthand...]}

[voidseeing]

[That grin is back, albeit slightly more subdued.]

But I think that can wait until after Speed Racer.

[conways_retribution]

_{[He grinned himself.]}

Yeah... You're right.
