Better test your teeth drawing skills

Teeth time
Send me a â and I'll draw your muse.
I was going to hunt down a meme like this but then I realized I can just make one myself.
Caine clenched his fists and growled. âAnd youâd know a lot about hiding bodies, huh? You know that youâre the expert in hiding bodies?â
Caine let out a bitter laugh. âOh you occupational cognitihazard I AM GOING TO FREAKING KILL YO-â
Like a switch, his entire body posture unnaturally changes into a more relaxed one, one hand on a hip and a hand up in the air. In a much more pleasant voice, âIt is advisable for coworkers to share knowledge with each other!â
He shook his head, getting himself out of the daze that took over him. His body returned back to his annoyed one. âUgh, anyways, I was just trying to talk to my⌠âFellowâ professor about his limited knowledge! But you know what? Fine! Iâll leave! I- I needed to go anyways and- and you were just some distraction!â
The first time it happened, it did legitimately frighten the film professor. Now, though, he's certain the threat is empty. What's he going to do, stab him? In his imaginary flesh and pretend blood vessels? No, there's nothing to fear about this man.
"By all means, Sir. Go on! Distracting is the name of the game, after all!~"
And as the other looked away, Tenna walked back to his students, monitoring their progress.
................
The knock on Caine's door did not come from a student, or another professor in his department. No, it was a certain television-headed old robot.
He lets himself in.
"THERE you are! Myyyyyyyy good and not at all insane coworker whom it is advised I share knowledge with! How ARE you! Coffee?"
A standard cup of the stuff was put on his desk, according to how he's seen most humans drink it. Some milk, some sugar, all bribery.
Caine was at his desk, smiling to himself as he modelled a big, gloopy monster. It was always more difficult to model more liquid creatures in 3D but the work always paid off!
The knock grabbed Caineâs attention and he was about to tell the other to let themselves in untilâŚ
Oh.
His smile instantly turned into a frown.
âOh. Its you.â
He narrowed his eyes at the clearly insincere flattery. He looked at the cup and picked it up. He stuck his tongue to taste it. Hm, it didnât taste poisoned.
âI prefer my coffee with a more unique flavour.â He says bluntly before grabbing a box of cigarettes, grabbing one stick, unrolling it, and pouring the contents inside before twirling it around to mix it. He took a sip, his mood instantly lightened. âNow thatâs it!â
Hmm, maybe move the character here? Place the weapon here? No no maybe no weapons? Although guns are coolâŚ
âAH!â Caine jumped from the sound of footsteps entering. âOh-? OH! Eiden! Eiden Eiden Eiden!â He repeated the otherâs name, feeling it roll off his tongue.
âYes yes you did! In fact, you did such a good job that I wanted you to help me with my next assignment!â He said giddily, feet shifting. âAn important process in game design is the concept art, so tell me speeder, how good do you think you are at imagining?â
" Y-yeah? "
He's a little bashful hearing he's done that much of a good job. It's not really choice of career he'd want to make but it's not not-fun either? And he's happy his pieces are being appreciated.
Though... helping with his ...next assignment...? Professors got assignments now..? No? What?
" Huh? "
" I mean, I'd like to think I do alright with it? But like sorry, what do you mean....? "
Caine looked at him. âOh you know, my next assignment! The⌠Assignment Iâm going to give the class? I need you to help me brainstorm some ideas for the example piece Iâm gonna show!â
He sat down on his chair, spinning momentarily before putting his elbows on the desk and his head on his clasped hands. âNow, grab some paper or whatever and try to design something like⌠Like a princess made out of candy!â

" You see the screen.... "
Masa SIGHS, shaking his head.
" It won't turn on. I have been trying all day and... "
" See?" he says after pressing the turn on button.
Nothing happens as. It's a problem, really, he's got a class to teach in 2 hours.
Caine chewed the inside of his cheek. He was very toothy. Hmmm, not able to turn on, huh?
âWell then, letâs check if itâs plugged in first!â That was good âol reliable. Caine looked underneath the table to grab the plug. Oh, it was disconnected! He plugged it in. âThere we go! Now letâs turn this bad boy on!â He pressed the power button.
It did not turn on.
âOh. Hmm.â
âHuh?â Caine snapped his gaze towards the screen. Oh no! His beautiful bees!
The bees were clunky, low-poly things. Just orbs with wings and stripes. Still, that many wasnât something the computer was supposed to handle.
Caine grabbed his mouse and ever so slowly dragged it to the menu, mouse moving frame by frame. He decided to replace the previous 10 thousand with a moderate 1 thousand. Not too little but hopefully not too much.
Instantly the framerate increased by a lot. Keen observers could probably notice that it isnât an optimal framerate but it sure was a lot better than the previous one!
âPhew! Thank you and your widened face-cakes, Queen.â Imagine that, inability to access his adventures! Oh the horror!!
"Me And My Widened Face-Cakes Appreciate It," she says with a grin. (That and the thing about wood resin are sayings that she needs to share with Lancer.) "There Are Probably Ways To Reduce The Lag Further, Like Not Rendering Off-Screen Bees Or Lowering Draw Distance... But It Really Does Create The Impression Of Being Caught In A Bee Swarm, So Good Job With That"
"You Know... I Forget If I Told You This Or Not, But I Did Some Work In Game Design Back In The Day, Like With My Virtual Boxing Simulator, My Driving Banana Collector Game, And The Cyber World MMO (Lost To Spambots RIP)"
"You Could Probably Use Some Of Those Concepts For Your Circus Adventures (With Credit OFC)"
As she understood it, Caine had countless ideas, and he wanted his players to play every day!
Caine gripped the table slightly at the suggestions she was making but tried to exhale quietly to calm himself down, nodding. He should just be glad someone enjoyed his amazing adventures. âHmmm, well thank you very much! Iâll take your suggestions!â
Oh, she was still talking. Caine idly listened to her blabber, kind of letting it fade into the background as he dealt with the bees. Hmm, boxing sounds good, so did driving and collecting, would this VR game count as an mmo? He hoped his beautiful circus wouldnât get invaded by spambots!
âIâll take your suggestions, and of course Iâll credit you! I have enough confidence in myself to not steal ideas of my fellows.â Unless you were a certain tv, of course.
Hmm, did it need more bees? Of course it needed more bees! Everythingâs better with bees!
As he typed into the program, replacing the population of in-game bees from 10 to 10 thousand, he heard Queen come in.
âQueen? Queen!!â He jumped up from his seat, ignoring how his computer was slowly getting louder. His computer looked like a desktop from the 90s but the actual operating system was a LOT more modern. âIts always wonderful to have you around Queenie!â He paused after he said it, the nickname somehow more familiar than it should be. He shook his head.
âYou know me, as hard working as resin-filled wood! Iâve done the main âhubâ area, the Big Top! Next Iâm thinking about adding an amusement park and a lake, those good âol water physics am I right?â
"Queenie" is what her ex used to call her, so it is a little too familiar of a name. Still, she did call him "Cainey Wainey," so it's not like the nickname came out of nowhere.
"Ha Ha Yep Good Old Water Physics"
Looking at the digital circus, Queen adjusts her sunglasses. The ludicrous amount of virtual bees is dragging down the frame rate into the single digits.
"... No Offense Mr. Caine But Is The Game Supposed To Lag That Much? Your Players Might Have Trouble Traversing From Adventure To Adventure IMO"
âHuh?â Caine snapped his gaze towards the screen. Oh no! His beautiful bees!

âPhew! Thank you and your widened face-cakes, Queen.â Imagine that, inability to access his adventures! Oh the horror!!
âWell you started it my computational companion!â Both hands on his hips. He should stop, let go, and go to whatever he needs to do. He needed to do something. Stuff. But maybe he can twist itâŚ
âActually, TV Tony, I need yourâŚâ A pause. âExpertise on something. Now your little cpu can probably not handle it but Iâve been wondering about camera angles and composition for my cutscenes in my video games! I know you prefer primitive art forms but Iâm talking more 3d models here.â
Oh, what a horrible sneer that snaked across his screen.
"Ooo, what a plot twist! You need my expertise, is it? Sure you want to waste it on your game, and not when you need to hide a body?"
It's a joke in poor taste, but one the CRT makes often enough to not be taken seriously. The other professor had already convinced himself Tenna was bad news anyway, right?
"Maybe if you'd get out and go see a movie once in a while, you'd already know what to look for. Go find a copy of Trinket Tale--maybe that'll give you an idea without having to put up with your ugly mug longer than I need to."
Caine clenched his fists and growled. âAnd youâd know a lot about hiding bodies, huh? You know that youâre the expert in hiding bodies?â
Caine let out a bitter laugh. âOh you occupational cognitihazard I AM GOING TO FREAKING KILL YO-â

Caine was at this mall looking around for⌠Whatever fits his fancy he supposed! He hated that this ai seemed to have removed his own ai-related powers.
What was odd though was that he felt⌠watched. Thatâs weird! Heâs the guy who watches people uncomfortably all the time! He turned his head around, scanning the area for anyone who could be spying on him.
Another people-watcher was nothing new around here; Cyn had watched her own fair share of them before! Usually they seemed to have some ulterior motive, though, at least when she cared to chat them up. This silly pair of teeth atop a body looked more as though he were simply struck with wonder about every mall goer that passed him by. Something more akin to herself, though only a bit less creepy. Only a bit, really.
Naturally she kept herself out of sight when he began to look around. She knew when they felt watched, and knew just how long to wait, to make them feel the paranoia drift awayâŚbefore, in a flash of yellow light, she was directly behind him, head in one pair of hands, elbows propped on the nearest horizontal surface.
âSO! Which one of them isâŚyour favorite, so far?â
His guard lowered. Maybe he should be happy heâs being watched! He likes being watched! Maybe he should put on a show and-
âGEE WILIKERS!â
He jumped higher into the air, not expecting this⌠thing to have teleported into his vicinity. âYou scared the bees knees out of me!â He narrowed his eyes, or well, his teeth closed closer together to mimic narrowed eyes. âAre you an AI? You sound like my grandpa, But a girl.â Ah, good âol grandpappy IBM 7094. If Caine himself was anything to go by, then AI must love watching people.
âHmmm, well I was watching that woman-â He pointed a gigantic finger at some random lady with big hair, everyone easily able to tell that he was pointing. His hand shrunk back. âLook at that hair! That rendering is amazing, uh- but I can definitely do better! Its just my artstyle!â

Caine thought about it, chewing his gum as his gaze was locked into a steady stare, looking at⌠Nothing, really.
âWell in our previous assignments we had our students work on concept art then 3d models for those, if you mean I have some examples to show them then yes!â He brought out his phone, showing the other various slides. The characters were⌠Weird, at least to the average person. Caineâs character designs leaned more towards big, bulging eyes and cartoony proportions. He also loved big gloopy monsters. âWe already rigged the models beforehand so now we just have to use the game engine directly for the animation. We can use pre-made animation but thatâs not really viable for computed controls like walking or jumping.â
"And will your games be open for public use?"
half was understand because as a history professor, he had to keep up with everything and all his children schedules as well. hence he was mildly profession with the computer. A busy work schedule can create miracles, or make nightmares. Some could break under the pressure, especially one as skill base as gaming. and making games was no easy task at all.
"I have quiet a few children who would be interested as ..testers if they could."
âWell of course my manly mango! Well, my games at least. The students can choose whether or not theyâd want their games to be public. Theyâll be pretty janky as theyâre simply learning and all that jazz, but if they choose to then yes!â
At the otherâs request, Caineâs eyes widened almost unnaturally. âReally? Really? Iâd be happy to! Keep in mind that these games are spooky, so only bring the most maturiest of kids!â
While some students at Ofiuco University â and even a few staff members â thought that Professor Caine was "cringe culture" and "trying too hard to be cool," Professor Queen, who was able to make friends with almost anyone, had taken a shine to the strange little man. He was kind of charming in an odd sort of way, and he reminded her of a dog with a mismatched set of eyes.
(If only he were small enough to fit inside a bag... though that might've not stopped Queen from trying.)
During a break between classes, Queen heads over to his workspace to say hello. She doesn't doubt that he's hard at work on his VR circus game, and she sneaks over to take a peek at his monitor.
"Hello Cainey Wainey, How's Your Prototype Coming Along? Are You Working Hard Or Hardly Working? LMAO"
For all of her teasing, she's genuinely interested in his progress, and she hopes that she gets to play a demo sometime. And offer some friendly feedback, of course!

Hmm, did it need more bees? Of course it needed more bees! Everythingâs better with bees!
As he typed into the program, replacing the population of in-game bees from 10 to 10 thousand, he heard Queen come in.
âQueen? Queen!!â He jumped up from his seat, ignoring how his computer was slowly getting louder. His computer looked like a desktop from the 90s but the actual operating system was a LOT more modern. âIts always wonderful to have you around Queenie!â He paused after he said it, the nickname somehow more familiar than it should be.
