"A Domestic Future"

[Flameforge]

Oh man... I don't know where I pulled this from...



A DOMESTIC FUTURE.

Yisuncha: Hi, honey! I'm home!

Clattering sounds from the kitchen.

Flameforge pokes his head out the kitchen archway.

Flameforge: Sun? Look at the time. You're late home again.

Flameforge ducks back.

More clattering.

Flameforge: Were you able to find a Heavily-Padded Overcoat on the shopping channels today?

Yisuncha: What? You know we can't afford that. Besides, I was casting mochies all day for tips, so I could scrounge enough for a new dress. You know how expensive Miir clothing is!

Flameforge steps out of the kitchen, dusting his apron off.

Flameforge: Yes, yes. Okay.

Flameforge removes the apron.

Yisuncha: Oh, I saw ol' Cogs too. Still tinkering with his robots. Managed to get 20K out of him.

Flameforge: Good work.

Yisuncha hangs her rice hat in the hallway.

Flameforge: Okay, gotta hurry off now. There's an attack on an omni base I've been called to. Dinner's in the oven.

Yisuncha narrows her eyes.

Yisuncha: You're not going to The Cup with the boys again are you?

Flameforge: No no no...... uhm... we're attacking towers, yes.

Flameforge heads to the door.

Flameforge: Can you keep a close eye on MiniSun? She's been levitating the coffee table again. I swear she's picked up some bizarre skills from you. The Great Notum knows what she'll be like with a computer deck.

Yisuncha crosses her arms.

Yisuncha: Bizarre skills, eh? Did you see FlameJr beating his pet leet the other day? I was not impressed, mister!

Flameforge grins sheepishly.

Flameforge: Ohhh, oops. Heh.

Flameforge kisses Yisuncha quickly.

Flameforge: Okay, love ya. See ya. Don't wait up.

Flameforge rushes out the front door.

Yisuncha rolls her eyes.

A DOMESTIC FUTURE, PART II

Some time later: (Bedroom)

Flameforge: So, honey, are you ready for lo...
(/disco, horizontal)

Ying: *POOF* How may I serve you, Master?

Yang: *POOF* Master, I am at your command!

Tranquility: *POOF* I am ready to kill for you, Master

Flameforge slips under blankets, disapponted.

Yisuncha: Did you say something, dear?

Yisuncha scans the bedroom for Flameforge. (/lookout)

[Flameforge]

((
/me rolls on the floor laughing
/me wipes away a tear
Ah, brilliant.

[BigSwede]

[Cogs]

Rolling on the floor laffing my proverbial ass off!! You guys kill me!!

Cogs (hoping Flame dont get too curious about the 20k)

[Twiggytee]

/me smiles in bachelorette glee.

THE FOLLOWING DAY

Flameforge wakes, rubs his fists into his eyes. He then grins, remembering the hot action he got last night.

Flameforge frowns.

Flameforge: No, wait.... that was a dream :(

Flameforge thinks about pulling out the barbeque to grill some meatballs...

Flameforge thinks about having his head beat with a rolling pin.

Thoughts are interrupted by some loud thumping on the front door.

Flameforge plods to the entrance, opens it. Three big atrox are standing outside.

Bigswede: Hey!
Renegader: Hey!
Thegreatbear: Hey!

Flameforge: G'day! Come on in guys.

The atroxes shuffle inside, making themselves at home (jumping on the couch, switching on the Grid, eating out the pantry).

Flameforge: What's new guys?

Bigswede: We've been up since dawn, working on the Old Athens restoration. You know... throwin' around concrete, rippin' out steel cables, pushin' over buildings.

Bigswede: /strong3
Thegreatbear: /strong2
Renegader: /strong4

Flameforge: Awesome. Must be tiring though, eh?

Renegader: Yeah, mate. But we get rewards! Look:

All three atrox pull HUGE steel girders from their backpacks, swinging them around enthusiastically.

Flameforge: Nice! Uh hey! Watch out for the---

CRASH

Thegreatbear: Oops.
Renegader: Uh oh.
Bigswede: Sowwy.

Flameforge: Uhm... that's okay. Perhaps Sun won't notice if I glue it back together...

The atroxes think it's about time they got back to work, so they say goodbye and head out the front door.

Flameforge: /scratch

Flameforge gets to work on repairing the lamp.

[BigSwede]

Loool!!

"Domestic Future: Counting Beans"

Flameforge is seated, hard at work, at the lounge room coffee table which is covered in a mess of papers.

Flameforge: <sighs> I seriously need new armour -- my current set is in tatters! But...

Flameforge punches a few numbers into his calculator.

Flameforge: ... I just have no money for it. I can't keep bumming off Sun. I need to do something. Get work? <winces> Hmm... nah. I'll go out and see if I can sell buffs or something.

Flameforge dresses presentably and heads out into West Athen.

Flameforge shouts: Buffing Essence! Tips welcome!

Randomdude: plz ess falmefoge

Flameforge executes Essence of Burly Bloke on Randomdude.

Flameforge: Wow! 500K? Thanks soooo much!

Randomdude: too slow dood! l8trz

Randomdude vanishes.

Yisuncha drops in from the sky.

Evillela: ---thetic limb.

Yisuncha: Half hour with a prosthetic limb?? Huh?

Evillela: hahahaha.... yeah... good joke... ok cya!

Evillela vanishes.

Yisuncha raises an eyebrow at Flameforge.

Flameforge fidgets.

[BigSwede]

[Flameforge]
