I guess those galaxies will be going out with a bang. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

I wanna destroy a couple galaxies fer fun. 

[drscratchmd-blog]

Do we need to have a discussion on the proper responsibilities that go along with universal care?

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Yer an asshole.

[drscratchmd-blog]

Counterpoint: You’re an asshole. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Well, are ya gonna tell me or be an asshole.

[drscratchmd-blog]

I will go with the third unmentioned option. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

The only good thing I’ve heard in fuckin’ months and it’s from you, great. 

Ya know where I can get a good fix on this thing. 

[drscratchmd-blog]

Yes, I do. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

@drscratchmd

If my arm falls off will that fuck anythin’ up. 

[drscratchmd-blog]

Your metallic arm is a cold lifeless husk containing nothing but dead stars and barren asteroid belts. There are plenty of ways to destroy the universe within you, and that is not one of them .

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

The fact is, you suck.

[drscratchmd-blog]

The fact is, you are wrong. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

I still don’t believe ya.

[drscratchmd-blog]

I cannot make you believe anything you do not wish too. Including facts, apparently. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

I demand some goddamn proof that it ain’t true. 

[drscratchmd-blog]

You cannot see me right now, but I am gesturing to my entire body. I believe that is all the proof any reasonable creature would need.  

[drscratchmd-blog]

I have no orifice for which I could use to suck. You, however, do. You are more likely to suck than I and in fact you do. Suck, that is. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Ya suck without being able to suck. That sucks.

[drscratchmd-blog]

It would suck if it were true but it is not. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Doc sucks.

[drscratchmd-blog]

I have no orifice for which I could use to suck. You, however, do. You are more likely to suck than I and in fact you do. Suck, that is. 

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Your meetings are gonna suck and I’ll leave th’ second I get there.

[drscratchmd-blog]

You’ll get into the spirit of mandatory meetings one day. 

[drscratchmd-blog]

I should start informing the felt to be a tad hospitable toward our new member.

Slick breathes in, feeling a strong pull of doubt that any of this will work. He’s going to suffer, likely more than he’d already been before this. He’s going to regret it, bite his tongue but not hard enough to pierce and destroy thousands of galaxies. He’ll scream, he’ll whine, but he’ll do it nonetheless. There were a lot more beneficial reasons to accept the offer, even if it fucked up his own life in the process. He’s going to continue his life the way he wants until Doc catches up with him, of course. What the others didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them, only himself. 

He paces for a moment, bringing a hand to the back of his neck to scratch at the plating. “Fine, fuckin’ fine Scratch yeah-” Spades pauses, taking a good look at the cue ball with expectation and crushing regret short after. He wont be able to hold the deal long, he’ll fuck it up and he knows it. Who cares though, at least he’s trying. Maybe he’ll be able to stand out between most SS’s as well, that would be nice. “ Give me th’ universe.” 

[drscratchmd-blog]

“Done.”

“What makes me think that? Hm, lets go back to all th’ times ya acted like a scheming little bastard and flipped some rules around ta’ where YOU see fit. There’s yer answer.” His eyes are dead set on Scratch again, but he continues to lean against the wall as if he wasn’t phased. 

“But lets say ya gave me another universe, would I be able ta’ visit?” He presses this question again, because if he gets the answer he’s looking for, he’ll more than likely accept the contract based on just that.Ask for another universe rather than his own. Of course having his own universe inside him would help to keep it alive, but having another universe on stand-by in case his own were to die so soon.. and the resources could provide more than they currently have. Not only that, but with another universe set inside of him, he could easily die and respawn back here based on Death’s rules he has on this place, no reason to sweat over if he’ll hit his planet during a fight or not. Both could work to save his crew if anything where wrong, at least he hopes.

“You would definitely have the ability to travel to the other universe, given I give you a universe you don’t presently inhabit,” The enjoyable aspect of being given a universe is free reign to hop around through the alternate universes that are held within the universe’s timelines. Scratch had never given someone a universe that they didn’t inhabit. But if they were to use their spacial hopping abilities they would inevitably hop to that universe rather than any area in their own. Once they are locked into that universe it would be exceptionally  difficult to get back to the other (read: near impossible) unless some highly unconventional things were to happen. What Slick didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him until the moment it happened. 

“Come on now,” Scratch put out his hand, “Have I not answered enough of your silly questions. Let’s get to it -either you want the power I can give you or not.”

[bladesslick-deactivated20190108]

Slick stares for a moment before letting his eyes wander, listening for once. This time it wasn’t as hard to pay attention to the convoluted answers Scratch brought up, since they were more-so straight forward from his own previous statements. “Beatin’ Sn0w in her own game of life would be fuckin’ promising..” He adds in short, nothing more on that topic though since he hasn’t made his decision just yet. He takes a step over to the window, leaning against the wall next to it and watching whatever went on past the glass. Nothing interesting, of course. “Bein’ a universe ain’t for me but that wont stop me from makin’ my answer.. few more questions for ya though.” 

His head tilts allowing his robotic eye to glance over at them. “ If I agree, can I back out later? What’ll that do to th’ universe I got and will ya have ta’ kill me.” Spades pauses, his hands slipping into his pockets, loosing interest in looking at the other. “If ya give me another universe can I visit it? Can I still visit other timelines ‘er universe?” 

[drscratchmd-blog]

“You can’t back out once you are strung to the universe your fate is sealed.If you tried to back out, the only way to do that is to attempt to kill yourself. I’ve dealt with individuals attempting this way out before and it is never successful until I want it to be.  I’m going to end up killing you eventually, my orchestrations and involvement in your universe will force your death. It’s better to wait for your time rather than forcing it,” Scratch zapped in Slick’s line of vision, “What would make you think I would give you any universe but the other you inhabit?”

“I dunno Doc, I don’t look that great with boobs..as far as I fuckin’ know.” He wouldn’t know, he personally hasn’t had the opportunity. That’s beside the point, and he’d rather not think about it. Slick slides out of his chair, dusts off his suit, and takes slow steps over to Doc to get a good look at the orb spewing bullshit he’d asked for. “Team buildin’? Look, I don’t wanna be apart of yer gang of fuckin’ morons-” He stops himself from triggering further poor choice of words. Instead he takes in a breath and starts again. 

“I want everythin’ ta’ be fuckin’ normal or close to it. I don’t want m’ crew findin’ out ‘til I show ‘em and I ain’t gonna jump on yer little idiot band wagon for some bullshit team buildin’. If I’m called, it’s gotta be for actual fuckin’ business matters. I ain’t here ta’ help you, I’m here for me. For what I want. I’ll let ya teleport me here, but if m’ crews out fightin’, I’m goin’ right back to ‘em without a fuckin’ word.” Spades’ heels click on the ground as he makes his way around the omniscient puppet, trying to lay out his own rules on top of theirs. “My crew comes first ta’ me, always will. If I gotta deal wit’ yers too that’ll be th’ least of my fuckin’ interest.” 

Slick stops behind Scratch and continues. “Second, If I get a lil scratched up, don’t get so butt hurt about it alright Doc? I’m me yer talkin’ about. Spades fuckin’ Slick. Th’ amount of dings in my carapace already add up to th’ amount of galaxies I don’t give a shit about. I hit mine, that’s m’ own fault. I wont die, but ya can’t keep me from a few cuts n’ bruises from time ta’ time. Not in my field.” 

[drscratchmd-blog]

He turns to Slick, “We’ll discuss the bust business later.”

“If you are to be the universe the normality you know now will change. If your decision to become hyper important to the survival of the universe hinges on your hope that you will have both power and normalcy than I am afraid I must stop and tell you that being the universe is not for you. I am giving you the freedom to be your own person, you can be a part of your little crew and devise your own schemes. But you are a continuation of the Felt’s power, of my power, of the Lord’s power and in that vein you must succumb to some of those rules or you will be doomed. Some try to escape their fate and eventually they die -rather horribly might I add.

He turned on his heels and paced the room, “I would never stop you from leaving when I summoned you, you have every right to leave. Of course your crew comes first to you that is only natural. I would ask you tell them about this as soon as you possibly can, it would be a tad rude to keep such imperative information from them -but that’s none of my business yet.” 

Scratch spins around slowly, “And me? Butt hurt? I assure you that this butt is never hurt about or from anything. Snowman did a remarkable job of not getting dings and cuts while she held the universe within her, and that is saying a lot considering who she is as an individual. With your sort of bravado and manly essence I am sure you can out-due her in that regard, show her who is boss by getting harmed even less. But some kinks in your carapace isn’t any felt off of my puffy stuffing.”
