《Day of Doom》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The admin is insane. He has fired everyone in the facility, including himself. We have been trying to vote out the admin, but he has argued that we are strictly authoritarian. The cats are not intervening, instead commenting about how we should have listened to them and chosen a better admin. The dogs are not even intelligent enough to know what democracy means; We are doomed.

David dreamed of a mouse firing a bunch of mice, rehiring them, and then firing them again?
Whatever. Weird dreams were normal. The psychologist had told them that they meant something, but...
What the heck could a bunch of mice firing each other and arguing about him, the "test subject", and talking about some "doom day" as if they were the cause of all this nonsense possibly mean? This made even less sense than that dream he had about a unicorn barfing on little white pebbles and then selling them and calling them "skittles"!
Come to think of it, the one about the unicorn barfing on pebbles wasn't all that weird. That would explain why all the skittles tasted the same. But if the barf was rainbow, and the colors were different, wouldn't that mean that the taste was...? Dang it! He was confusing himself again.
It was time for his morning coffee(s). Adding an S at the end always makes it seem like there was more.

-REDACTED REDACTED
* * *
"Didn't the admin fire that redactor, like, yesterday?"
"Yeah, he did."
"Say...Who is the redactor?"
"Don't have the foggiest idea. He never showed his face and he seems to get fired every other day."
"Every other day?"
"The admin got on the news for firing the redactor every day, and then the redactor partially redacted what they put on the news, and so then the admin only fires him every other day now."
"Partially redacted?"
"Yeah. I'll email the news article to you later. Which one do you want? The first or the second? Or both?"
"There are two?"
"Three, actually."
"How?"
"They made another one about how the first one was 'partially redacted', only to have it 'partially redacted' as well."
"And the third?"
"That one was just to see if the redactor would 'partially redact' anything involving us."
"What happened to freedom of the press?"
"Dunno."
"Say...Who is the redactor anyway?"
* * *
What...was the meaning of life?
Was it to develop? To be entertained? Or was it to drink coffee?
Probably the latter.
David's coffee-powered brainstorming came to its inevitable end when he began thinking about coffee again.
* * *
"Subject is...Thinking about coffee again."
"Humans."
"I know, right?"
"Should we switch to a new subject?"
"Yes, probably."
"Okay, you go switch subjects, I'll see if I can somehow get Paranoi - Dadmin removed from his position."
"That's a hopeless cause, you know."
"Then what should we do?"
"I don't know, transfer all the equipment over?"
"It's easier and more effective to get Paranoi moved into an asylum."
"But wouldn't he just order his way back out?"

"...Whatever. Just go change the subject already."
"Say... What's the code for that?"

The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.

He is taken to jail, not before tossing his bag of money to Drusilla, telling her to keep it safe. Drusilla, unfortunately, loses the bag of money to the woman, as she is a more skilling fighter. Both the magician and Drusilla are knocked out and they wake up in darkness, tied to a thick piece of wood. The light shines in on them and the woman approaches, saying that she is sorry if she hurt them, she only wanted the money. Drusilla spittles in the woman's face and she becomes very angry and punches her in the face, which instead of hurting her, breaks her hand. The captain of the ship there comes into the room and tells the woman to get her hand looked after. He tells Drusilla that is his wife and he has to tell her often not to steal from people on the beach. They eventually go to bail Comotos out of jail, not before he meets Lance, another prisoner. He is there because he practically destroyed the very place he was meant to protect. A fellow soldier broke his glasses right after he was knighted and Lance lost his temper and ended up in jail.
