Hey , sorry but I can ' t find you . Let me know when you upload another Pokemon ! <| sep |> O tempora ! O mores ! Caveat emptor . Facilis est descensus Averni . Sursum corda . E pluribus unum . Magna est veritas , et prevalebit . <| sep |> I like to picture how carefully they put that in the trash . <| sep |> I ' d say go for it if you can . While the white looks good , dirt and other grime shows up far too easily and if you ' re like me that ' s very annoying . I like the look of the black bar tape and saddle a lot more too it looks way better in person than in the picture ! <| sep |> It ' s scary , isn ' t it ? a woman asks . What ? a man replied . Change . It ' s scary , isn ' t it ? I guess . Their eyes darted between several displays as their conversation was drowned out by the sound of confirmations and rejections . Their left hands rejected ideas projected through the crack in the table while their right hands sent the suggestions to reservation , to be put through strainer later . But you know , the woman asks before stopping both hands . Why us ? Hmm ? the man asks nonsensically , his hands completely in sync with his optic nerves . Because , honestly , why us ? It ' s not like we ' re the brightest , the youngest , or even the best in anything . We ' re just two people , or at least I am . Mhmm . Are you even listening ? she asked , crossing her arms in frustration . Of course . Then what did I say ? This job is boring , right ? he asked , his eyes starting to hang from the intense stress of darting between screens . What ? No ! Stop for just one second already ! she screamed before ripping his hands away . Huh ? What ? Is there an emergency ? he asked , his eyes now darting around the room looking for a fire . You weren ' t paying attention to what I was saying you jackass ! she replied , slapping him in the face a few times , sending his brain into further confusion . Okay , okay , stop already . I get it , sorry . It ' s just , you ask the same thing each time , and we already know no one ' s going to answer us . He gently pushed her off and sat back in his chair , now facing her and giving her his complete attention . It ' s been . well , I don ' t know . I lost count after three days . His kept hair became a mess in an instant as he scratched wildly . We just . we just have to keep doing our jobs . She stared into his eyes before heaving a big sigh , her chest bouncing along the way . They had been locked into the room after being told their job . Sort through the suggestions made by the public , which had already been filtered to remove duplicates and asinine ideas . They already knew the outcome of their work , as various media outlets had been debating its ethical dilemmas long before they were seemingly picked out at random . They ' re not going to open those doors until we finish , so let ' s just get this done , he said before going back to the grind . They had discussed their situation many times already , each time chiseling a bit of their sanity and shell once they ' d returned to their task . But this time she wasn ' t willing to return . I ' m not doing it . What ? I said I ' m not doing it . There ' s no point . I haven ' t felt hungry , or thirsty , or even required the lavatory since I got here . So ? So ? Is that all you can say ? You asked that the second day we got here . Or was it third ? he asked , now questioning his memory . It doesn ' t matter what day it was , but it ' s been too long for either one ! Well ? What do you want me to do about it ? Talk with me about it then ! I did ! Whatever day you had it ! And we didn ' t get any closer then , and we won ' t get any closer now ! So just give up that stupid pointless thought and get back to work ! Stupid ? Pointless ? How the hell do we know what we ' re doing is neither stupid nor pointless ? she screamed . There ' s no progress bar or bank to keep track of out stupid choices ! For all we know , this is just a bad dream ! Then wake up then , princess , and go back to your ivory castle . What is wrong with you ? What is wrong with YOU ? They both grunted in frustration . She turned his back on him while he continued to work . The relative silence bothered both of them deeply , and while they both looked at each other through the corners of their eyes , they continually missed each other ' s glance , making the ordeal far longer than necessary . At this point however , time was no longer an issue . They could neither tell if it was the third day , or the third repeating day . Oh . Oh ? she asked facetiously . It ' s the suggestion from the first day . What ? she asked , jumping over to his console . Bigger . dick . she mumbled after sorting through the various unnecessary text . Too close , he said , trying his hardest to remove her face from his . Just like a man to remember the one part that he holds important , she said in a sigh . Hey , it ' s something , he replied , fixing his posture . How do we even know we ' re any closer ? He opened his mouth to answer , but remained silent from her rhetorical question . It was , as she said , impossible to note their progress . He had only recognized the suggestion , but it was just one . If asked if he could name another , even after given suggestion after suggestion , he ' d only reply possibly , or probably . Then what ? Just give up ? We tried that . In one of their attempts to understand their predicament , they surrendered to the action of nothingness , and ended up with nothing in return . Not doing anything ate at their minds , and they eventually returned to their work . Well , we could do something more interesting , she said , a slight tinge in her voice . If it ' s you explaining how to build an AI core , I ' ll pass . That stuff is too technical for me , he replied , his eyes and hand back at work . No , I mean this . The man felt two sacks weigh down on his back . They carried weight , but was soft , and he could smell her familiar scent more strongly than before . He had an idea of what was behind him , but he did his best to pay it no mind . Whatever you ' re doing , stop . We need to get back to work , he said , stuttering between syllables . We have to finish this . Are you sure ? This is the one thing we haven ' t done before , she asked , shoving her ample chest harder onto his back . He arched even further forward to remove himself from the sensation , and now he was pinned between the table and the woman behind him . His mind raced as he remembered the day they tried satisfying themselves . Her voice gave him an ending more satisfying than he had ever felt before entering the room , and he was starting to become intoxicated by her scent . You never know , she said seductively . This could be the test . Finally unable to restrain himself any longer , he turned around and tackled her to the ground . Well , that was fast , a strange voice resounded . Indeed , the last test took two hours , another voice spoke , nearly identical to the first . Are we truly just complacent to our sexual urges ? Possibly . Observation 958 over . Results standard . Man and woman reduced themselves to their genetic instincts . Then we are finished here ? Yes . This is our future . A large hologram appeared from the crack in the table , revealing a white quadruped covered in fur . It ' s most distinguishable features were its large hind feet and long narrow ears . This is what we were meant to be . One by one , beams of lights pierced the dark endless room as the mysterious beings resigned themselves to their fate . This is what we are . EditFirst time writing a story here . The line breaks were nonexistent the first time .
