What do you do when there's no apocalypse to cancel?

Wear impractical, non-apocalypse-friendly clothes. Pet a dog. Find a routine.

[notobedience]

Why would I wear impractical clothes? They're impractical.

[gulistan]

Well. Because in an alternate universe, where the apocalypse wasn't canceled, there are no other options.

Which is not to say that I'd be wearing heels every day even if our own apocalypse had been stopped, but the luxury of sometimes being impractical is not to be underrated, I think.

You are from this alternate universe?

[gulistan]

Oh — one of many, yes. But where I am from, we have been having an apocalypse for about twenty years, so...those are just a tiny number of things I'd do if we weren't.

Can you not fight it? Them?

[ do you need giant robots? ]

[gulistan]

Sort of. Yes. But not really directly.

[ this is more a war of manipulation and slight of hand; their enemies are not easily made visible. that's why the world's least appropriate person for espionage here is now a spy, technically. ]

Certain parts of it were inevitable, anyway. Empires tend to fall.
