[Nepeta stands behind a brightly decorated stall in one of the main areas of Freyr, looking bright and chipper and even more excited than usual.

"Black and Blue" is the name announced across the front of the stall, with lots of not-completely-professionally drawn pictures of the services offered at Equius’ and her shop.

She has a smile on her face as she cheerfully accosts passers-by, offering them a tray of cupcakes, and she seems to have enlisted Aurthour to do the same, while Pounce carries an open bag of sweets in her mouth to draw people in.

Nepeta and Pounce both have a cute black and blue ribbon tied above one ear, and Aurthour seems to have acquired the same as a bowtie. Oh! And it looks like a certain glowering moirail of Nepeta’s has been talked into wearing the same as he presides behind the stall.]

Come visit us at Black and Blue! The best service station in Asgard!

[The only one, actually, but shh. She’s having too much fun with this.]

That's insane, people use robots to make cars.

[alternia_strength]

Those are pre-programmed mechanized limbs humans call robots. Inferior, pathetic constructions compared to the glory of even my simplest fabrications, worth of nothing but my pummeling them to dust. Real robots have at least some programmable intellect in their false think pans.

[boogerman]

Lucky you. My world hasn't gotten that far. Yet.

[alternia_strength]

I do find it fortunate. However, an interstellar conquest requires certain power and technology.

[boogerman]

What's that?

[alternia_strength]

Ah, perhas your society is locked to a single terrestrial sphere. My people have conquered thousands of planets. Travel requires technological advancements most humans lack.

[boogerman]

Are all those planets gone now?

[alternia_strength]

Alternia I am aware of. The rest of the empire's status I cannot say for certain. I am quite expired at this point, after all. You'd have to ask a surviving one. Perhaps ... no, she remembers nothing of the future.

Perhaps one of the ones who stops in later might remember. They come back and forth often.

[boogerman]

One more question, did you ever find any humans?

[alternia_strength]

... I spent the last three months of my life watching for exceptionally idiotic examples of their species make general fools of themselves playing their version of the game, so yes. Yes I believe we found them.

[boogerman]

You in general, did you try to conquer Earth? That would have been fun to see.

[alternia_strength]

I do not believe that we had quite reached their planetoid before it was destroyed prior to the game's initiation.

[boogerman]

By what?

[alternia_strength]

It appeared to be an orbital bombardment of some sort. I am beginning to suspect the game was related to the worlds' destruction.

[boogerman]

A game caused meteors to hit your planet and Earth at the same time.

You're not making much sense.

[alternia_strength]

Why do you think I stopped bothering to worry about it after a while? It doesn't make sense.

[boogerman]

I do feel sorry for you, it sounds miserable.

[alternia_strength]

Being dead makes things much easier to cope with.

[boogerman]

Sometimes death is only the beginning. You might become a wandering spirit.

[alternia_strength]

According to those who survived my expiration, my spirit continues to wander the dream bubblescapes, so I believe that is going to happen, yes.

[Pitch... you are learning more about this strange, nonsensical world than you ever didn't want to know, aren't you?]

[boogerman]

[Spirits are not news. After all, what is he?]

Not a bad... existence.

[alternia_strength]

There are certainly worse options. I will take it. Hoever, as informative as this has been, I think we will speak again in the future.

[boogerman]

[Fine, he can take a hint.]

Enjoy your cars.
