Humans Are Weird: The Reality Engine (part 5)
The continuation of the saga, this is the chapter that focuses mostly on the lore and what happened after the reality engine was created.
I hope you enjoy this and thank you for your support, it’s what keeps me writing. For any questions you have for me just leave me an ask.
 “Fine I’ll tell you everything I know, later.”
“Wait, what!?”, Tarv couldn’t believe it, first Hephaestus said that he would tell her everything and now, “what do you mean by “later”, I thought came to an understanding about this?”
“No offence but Klecsh looks like she’s about to pass out from exhaustion”, she turned her attention towards her friend to find asleep and drooling on her bed, “besides, your both covered in rubble dust and, what I’m assuming is, sweat.”
Tarv smelled her clothes and noticed there unappealing stench, “wow, okay you have a point, I’m gonna wake Klecsh and were both gonna take a shower so would you kindly leave so we can change.”
“No need”, he clapped his and in an instant the filth on both Tarv and Klecsh was replaced and both her and Klecsh looked as if they’ve just taken a shower; they both also smelled of something sweat but Tarv couldn’t put her claw on what it was until Hephaestus explained, “no need to shower when I can do it in an instant, I also added the smell of my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner.”
“Uh..., thanks but, whats a strawberry?”
“It’s a fruit from Earth, before I was-”, he paused stopping himself from finishing the sentence, “well, it doesn’t matter right now; hey want me to do the pajamas?”
He prepared to snap his fingers but Tarv, “I appreciate the offer but I can change on my own I just need you to look away.”
“I know, it’s just that, if you wanna have a good sleep do it like a human”, he pulled a long strip of measuring tape from his sleeve and began to wrap it around Tarv, “I would have to change it up to fit your tail, arms and, legs.”
“I mean what are they even made of, how are they even that shade of purple”, Hephaestus then began tapping and moving Tarvs arm on every point of articulation she had, right down to the fingers of her hand, “and why can they be hard as bone and soft enough to have no joint gaps?”
“They’re made of cells that increase density in response to kinetic force”, although the conversation was interesting, it was leaning far off track, “hey aren’t we getting a little off topic here?”
“So your arms and legs are made of non-Newtonian fluid, fascinating”, Tarv started to become irritated that he wasn’t paying attention until she found out why, “and I know were getting off topic, I just wanted to distract you long enough to do the pajama thing.”
“What!, how did you-”, Tarv was amazed to find that her clothes were changed from the dirty ones she had to soft and free flowing clothes, “I thought you had to snap your fingers to do something like this.”Â
“I only do that for fun”, he then changed his own clothes into, what appeared to be, a single piece hoodie depicting an unknown orange and white animal, “so, how do you like my fox pajamas?”
“Its cute, but did you make some for Klecsh?”
“Just look”, Tarv turned towards her friend and immediately blushed white the instant she saw what Klecsh was wearing; a seductive sleeveless black gown over layered with and open robe, pitch black but faded to transparency when it reached the ends of the sleeves and the bottom, “by the precursors why did you make hers so risque!?”
“You blush white?, that really contrasts you dark magenta skin.”
Out of embarrassment she turned away and covered her face, “just answer the damn question.”
“Because, I thought it looked cute.”
“Provocative seems like a better word for it.”
“Oh deal with it, besides you should get some sleep don’t you have class tomorrow.”
“How do you know that?”
“I ready your academy class schedule.”
“But how that was in my ba-”, she paused when she saw that Hephaestus was holding her bag, he then proceeded to toss it to her, “my bag!, I thought this was frozen solid at the museum.”
“It was, but now it’s not”, even if he is a weird human he did have the best intentions, “beside it’s only natural to help a fellow schoolmate.”
“Yeah I guess tha-, wait what?”
“Yup, I need to know more of whats been going on during the humans absence, so starting tomorrow I’ll be going to the academy with you”, this has turned into the worst situation possible.
