Chapter 6.2: COCONUT MILK

Dave woke up. He was back to his usual attitude. Nora had finally told everyone what the fuck they were even doing, apart from Hyda, who was enjoying doing whatever everyone else on this journey was journeying for, which was for a reason.

"So basically, right? um, I think I'll just, uh" Said Pink Nora right before she turned red and lifeless ,"Ok, In the year 3998, a guy called Adam Shelby recreates a human mind in digital form and puts it in a microwave, the microwave then proceeds to call itself a self loathing god that is bored, kills his wife right next to him and destroys the world." She said with a straight face. "Cool, so what planet is this?" Squeedo asked Nora. "Earth, like a millennia or something from then. The world resets in the year 3998 because of the microwave, but the thing is that Shelby remembers everything from the moment he born. The thing is that he can't change the births and deaths of living things apart from A.I, which is why I didn't exist in the original timeline. Also Dave didn't exist either but that's because he has like a 0.006 percent chance of existing or something like that because of being literally born because of what the microwave did. Anyway, he tried many ways to change the outcome of 3998, but nothing worked so he created a machine which transports non living objects into the future and a satellite which stores his mind after he dies. That's why we have mages here and 'Rectangle God' which is really just the microwave that was sent by him to Ancient Egypt where it eventually got hailed as a pharaoh for reasons I am unaware of. Also that file consists of all of his attempts using us four and also a bunch of other people including his own daughter to fix everything. And that's the reason Dave has to kill the microwave in the future right now. Just read the stupid file in it's entirety, there's a lot of terms he coined for a bunch of phenomena." She said. "Wow, they should make a movie about him or something, he's like, main character material." Said Squeedo. "I'm gonna go to the deck to think." Said Hyda. "About how your temporary life is going to end in a forgotten, temporary timeline?" Pink Nora enthusiastically asked. "Yeah."

Dave went on a stroll on the tiny ship, its corridors were quite... sturdy. They looked like shit and corroded metal. Dave made his way to the deck, where he found Hyda looking out into the vast ocean. Nobody mentioned the elephant in the room, which was a GIANT FUCKING HOLE IN THE WOODEN FLOOR OF THE DECK WHICH WENT INTO THE OCEAN. Who cares, it's just a giant hole. You can move at the edges of the deck, easily ignorable.

"Hey." Dave said as he tip toed to her.

"We are royally screwed. We stole a terrible boat, we're travelling in an ocean of acid and, not to mention, there are fake ocean cleaner guys in submarines rapidly approaching us so that they can eliminate us, and our only chance of survival is if we act mentally disabled or insult them very harshly so that they put us in a literal game that you play till you die for other the entertainment of other people, and you have the nerve to say, oh so casually, 'hey'." She blurted.

"This is as much my fault as it is yours, mostly yours, also last I checked there is no such thing as an ocean cleaner assassin that puts you in a game that you play to the death. There is definitely something wrong with you ." Dave ranted, but in a pretty calm manner as if he was trying to tell himself that he isn't ranting. It was a rant with identity crisis. Hyda pointed at the black ocean. Dave could barely make out a blue cylinder submerged under the black water. "Its been following us for some time now."

"Damn, there still something wrong with your head though."

"Says the guy who lived in complete isolation."

"Says the woman who also lived in complete isolation after literally dying and losing her memories, you know I read that file. 'Project Lilith', was it?"

Hyda looked at him and smirked," You wanna know what's wrong with my head? Coconut milk. Who in their right mind would want to call it coconut milk? That means that the coconut is the plant's boob, isn't that weird? Cuz last I checked, it was a seed. So then it's a boob that you cut off and plant in sand and then it grows into another individual plant? Imagine that, but with humans. It's a boobseed!" She said, then she started laughing at her own joke.
