"where we are going, you will be happy! everyone will be happy! why wouldn't you want to go. give me an answer."
The Last Exit of the Asphodel Express, a new oc universe i've begun developing. still very much in its early stages, but i'll say what i have so far
after a manmade rapture-esque event known as The Last Exit has caused every human on earth to disappear, living numerous creations behind, every robot left on earth wakes up from sleep mode to emotions. Slowly gathering in an AI-operated bullet train, they are left to navigate the world their creators left behind. Florence, the train operator whose prime directive is to gather as many robots as possible. Showroom, a stoic display mannequin in command of many others of his kind. Eliza, a robotic lounge singer repressing her grief. Joel, a childlike educator bot who woke up alone.
All of them, despite everything, have people they want to see again. But that's okay.
The Committee would like to see them again too.
