《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 197: Sealing in the Heart through Necrosis

"How is he still sleeping?" Lulu groaned as she put her hands out to keep herself from falling.
The fleshy room was rocking back and forth violently. Everyone was being thrown around the room, except for Sentenza. He was still lying on the ground with his hat over his eyes and his hands interlaced on his chest.
"I thought we were stable?" Og'drimun complained, as even despite his floating away from any surface, he too was being tossed around.
"I mean, he's stable." Lulu smirked as she pointed at Sentenza.
Narissa rolled her eyes. "This place was never really stable. It's just losing its thread much faster than I expected," she said half to herself as her eyes darted around invisible screens only she could see.
"Is that thing still jumping around like crazy?" Og'drimun asked before his head slammed into a wall. "Ow!" He groaned as he rubbed his head.
"Not as much, but thats probably just because it's losing ground to run to." Narissa explained as she slammed her hand against the wall to keep from hitting her head like Og'drimun did.
"So it's being cornered?" Lulu pointed out.
"Not quite, it's more like..." Narissa's eyes grew wide. Then, a wicked smile crept onto her face.
She looked up and down the wall and moved her hands along invisible controls. As she did, the room started to shake even more.
"What the heck are you doing?" Og'drimun hissed. "Do you want to make this ride even rougher?"
Narissa turned back to look at the tiny demon as she smirked. "That's the plan."
Lulu grinned as well while she was being thrown around the room. Like she had her own little secret just to herself.
Og'drimun just looked confused and then was flung around by a particularly violent jerk of the room. "Want to let me in on whatever it is you're smiling about? Because speeding through our only link to a stable reality seems pretty dumb to me."

"Oh? I thought someone as incredibly smart as you," Narissa teased, "would see through Mt plan with ease. Why, shouldn't it be nothing but child's play?"
"Nya Nya ma ma, mwu mwu mwah," Og'drimun teased back. "That's what you sound like."
"Gotta admit, he does a pretty good impression."
The three of them turned as Sentenza spoke from the ground. His gruff voice sliding out so easily he didn't even move from his spot. Still with his hands over his chest, and hat over his eyes.
"Oh? Finally decided to wake up sleepy head?" Narissa asked with a slight sneer on her face.
"Yeah, I thought you were going to sleep through everything," Og'drimun added.
Sentenza sighed and sat up. He pulled a cigarillo out of his pocket and slipped it into his mouth. But, he didn't light it. He just left it in his mouth as it was. Even though the room was shaking, he was complete unaffected.
"I wish I could've gotten some sleep, but whoever was driving this thing couldn't go straight if their life depended on it." Sentenza grumbled as he scratched his neck.
Narissa scoffed. "We're lucky I was able to keep this thing together through this mess."
Sentenza pushed his hat down firmly on his head. "It's a risky move you know."
Lulu smiled. "We just have to rig things in our favor."
"Now you're gonna say you have a problem with it?" Narissa complained. "Since you've apparently been awake and not offering any help, you don't really have a right to say anything I'd say."
Sentenza shifted the cigarillo from one side of his mouth to the other. "Darn right." He said firmly. "It's your choice not mine. I'm just here for the ride."

Narissa looked genuinely shocked. "I...what?"
"You deaf now?" He snorted. "You were leading the way. I'm not gonna question the path you take. Especially when it's not something I can do."
Narissa was stunned silent. But a rough shake of the room shocked her back into action. "Uh, right, yes!"
There was a light color to Narissa's cheeks as she returned to the seemingly empty wall to steer the flying room.
Sentenza grabbed the front of his hat and lowered it over his face. As he did, the ends of his mouth curled up slightly into a smile.
Lulu's eyes were fixed right on Sentenza's face. As he smiled, just so slightly, her eyes darted to the corner of his lips. As she saw the small expression, she lifted her hand up to her chin and then turned her eyes to Narissa.
"Seems this arrangement is a lot more like the kind of business I'm used to." Lulu mused aloud.
"What? People flirting so openly it makes you want to gag?" Og'drimun said before he pointed a finger towards the back of his throat and made gagging noises.
"Flirting?" Snapped Narissa. "I think you mean just getting deserved respect!"
"Uh huh," snorted Og'drimun. "Keep telling yourself that toots."
"Toots!?!" Narissa fumed.
Og'drimun gulped, "Uh, I mean..."
Lulu let out a haughty laugh while Senteza shook his head in clear disappointment.
