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

Drink heavily, dress flawlessly, insult the lessers. So basically the same thing I would be doing regardless, pretty much.

Why, is an apocalypse a frequent thing where you're from, because. Like, you'd think they'd lose their urgency after the first ten times.

[notobedience]

We were attacked many times, yes. It made us complacent for when the apocalypse did come.

[meanwhileback]

Okay, question. Does it count as an apocalypse if the world doesn't actually end. Because then isn't it just like... some really unfortunate-ass circumstances.

[notobedience]

But it would have been an apocalypse if it had happened. Does the word not refer to the concept of world destruction itself? It does not have to have happened.

[meanwhileback]

I don't know, I always figured it meant more like, the actual act of the world ending rather than just some shit that very nearly happened and then was averted at the last minute by probably some guys in spandex or a really big gun or whatever.

We had robots.

We saved the world from destruction. We saved it from the apocalypse. Do you suggest a different word for an apocalypse that has not happened? Would that not prove the term apocalypse by including it within that definition?

...Almost-pocalypse?

... But you are using the word. In the word.

[ why is she even having this conversation. ]
