So the
door opened and there was this Japanese girl or something, knocking on the
door! She came out of nowhere! I think it even surprised Uncle Rogers, because he had
this odd glint in his eye and he moved quickly and got the beam on her
and that was that.
I wondered what was going to happen now! Asians were super interesting. Ninjas and Samurai and stuff like that! Maybe we could make this girl
into a ninja, how cool would that be?
Uncle
Rogers guided her inside and checked the street before closing the door. Turning to me, he smiled and said “why don’t you take
a turn with this one?” See? Uncle Rogers was the best. I swelled with pride and set my Switch down carefully on the carpet. Ideas raced through my head. I could make her fat! Give her a topknot!
But
then I hesitated. I had to do the right thing with Uncle Rogers around. He had
given me another speech on the way here, just like the other times, stuff that
went over my head. “Calibrations are
sensitive and prone to rapid deconstruction…” “… Just a week or two until phase
three…” “… the last thing we need is a reality burn that ends the known universe…”
What was he talking about, exactly?
