Part 57: The concept of what?

— after a while, astrowife arrives home after deciding to come home early —
AW:
DV: oh haiiii
SR: hiii!
KV: HONK!
AW: oh hello!
Dont you three look.... comfy...
DV: mhmmm!!! tenn took my bed so i sleep down here now.
SR: yeah... we get to sleep all squishy together...
(strained) thought it is a bit hard to breath...
AW: hrm okay...
by the way, who is tenn?
DV: she's a fellow escapee!!!
AW: Ah okay, have you seen my son anywhere?
i need to ask him some things
DV: nope!!!
SR: i think he is upstair in his lair
DV: he's been up there ever since i like,,,, turned human?? i think...
AW: yeah, he is a bit introverted... ill be talking to him if you need me for anything!
DV: got it!
AW: (heads upstairs opens her son's door)
— astrowife is immediately grabbed by a rope and pulled upside down —
AW: WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS GOING ON??
AS: Oh- sorry, Mother. That wasn't meant for you.
It was for the *intruder* that you've nonchalantly let inside our house.
I think i heard two, actually...
AW: Um....
Please let me down...
AS: (he released his mother from the rope) Is there anything you need?
AW: um yeah, do you happen to know why nasaballs and humans arent really the same thing and how a nasaball can become a human...
AS: Why do you ask, mother?
AW: Dave went from a nasaball to a human!!
AS: (a look of realization swept his face) Is that so? I suppose I've been wrong this whole time..
AW: what do you mean?!
AS: At first, I thought this.. human version of Dave was an intruder. It was a mistake on my part.
AW: oh my goodness! No wonder you were so scared! Im sorry, i should have told you that
AS: (he went over to the whiteboard he had in his room) I should've realized this sooner... do you mind me explaining?
AW: of course not!!
AS: (he grabbed a marker and started drawing as he explained)
So first, you have a nebulous, undefined concept. In this case, it is space exploration.

NASA sprouts from this concept, being a more defined branch

NASA then branches into the NASAballs, them technically being puppets of NASA

AW: uhuh uhuh... so how did dave become a human??
AS: Although Dave was born into the concept, the connection can be broken. The influence soon lost its hold on him. One cannot be without a concept core for long, so Dave attached to the nearest one. The concept of culture, where humans originate as well.
AW: thats really interesting! Does that explain why sardi is a countryball?? Something similar
AS: Well..  for Sardi, I don't know too much about her origins. She's still a mystery.

AW: Any thoughts on how the workerbois and gurls fit into it??AS: They're similar to Nasaballs

AS: They're similar to Nasaballs. Although born human, companies have more hold on them than their original concept.

AS: thank you mother
-~ a large crack is heard from the living room ~-
SR: AHHH!
DV: ARRGGHH!!
AS: Er... what was that?
AW: oh dear lord what was that...
(She goes down stairs to see sardi and dave on their back on the floor, with kevin sitting untop of Dave's belly, surrounded by rubble.)
DV: ururghhh.. get offa me,,,
KV: (looks at him blankly then pecks at his belly)
DV: wahahahaha!! stop it!! hahahaha!!!
KV: (alerted by the laughter, he flaps down off of him)
AW: WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MY COUCH!!!
DV: ummm....
SR: well uhhhhh
AW: you two SERIOUSLY need a diet if you break a couch just by SITTING on it!!
DV: we didn't mean tooooo!!!
SR: yeah we were just watching tv  and then BLAMO! On the floor
DV: yyyeaahhh!! that!

SR: and i like you all soft and squishy too :3
AW: i dont think you too understand the health issues your size can cause for you two!
DV: what do you mean??
AW: it can cause problems like heart attacks and diabetes, it could cause you to die!!
DV: (GASP)
SR: "blah blah blah science science science, bigger! And bigger is better!"
DV: fair point, sardi!!
AW: (sighs) even if you like each other looking like that *for some strange reason i don't understand* you wont live as long, that means less time for you to  hang out!!
DV: what??

AW: (sighs) never mind.... just come with me and help me pick out a new couch...
DV: okay!
SR: YAY SHOPPING!!

AW: (grabs sardi's hand and pulls with all her might)
SR: (manages to get up) gee thanks!

SR: (grabs Dave hand and pulls him up with relative ease)
DV: thanks sardi!!
SR: yeah no problem! Your not THAT heavy anyways
