EXT. PLANET ROXY - THE BEACH - ROSE-GOLDEN HOUR

The YEAR is 12,510.

Roxy dozes off on the beach. The deeper he falls into unconsciousness the more of his legs lull out of existence.

Roxy dozes off on the beach. The deeper he falls into unconsciousness the more of his legs lull out of existence.

Several of Planet Roxy’s multicolored moons are visible at this time of day. Millions of compact orange drones dig vastly deep chasms on the surface of each moon. Positioned against the nearest moon, white, is a long, tapered space station that resembles a cue.

A drone lands in the sand at Roxy’s invisible feet. The impact startles him awake and his body hastily phases into reality.

The drone prints a piece of continuous stationery out of its head. Roxy jumps to read it.

TELEGRAM FOR DIRK’S HUSBAND

My dearest love, In all of the alphabets of every language I have created to express my adoration for you, still there exist no words sophisticated enough to arrest your grandeur. Whole civilizations drown in the emotion you inspire in me and rise again just to glorify our love. That being said, the longer I go on about the cheapness of words the more self referential, and, thereby, annoying this message gets. Turn your head to the skies. Now all living things that cling to the surface of the planet I forged out of stardust for you will bask in your brilliantly divine image and gain a sense, a slight sense, of the perpetuity with which I keep you in my heart.

Love, Dirk.

He does as it says. The pool cue space station draws backward. Roxy’s shoulders tense up, he was never expecting that thing to actually move. It pushes forward with what from a distance looks like grace, but is an actual world-shattering force that propels the white moon forward. The white moon hits the next and sets off a chain reaction of ricocheting rainbow moons that ends when the biggest moon, too dense to budge, is struck. The still ocean in front of Roxy comes to life and tosses the boats of several catman fishermen around like toys. Its waves clap against the shore with terrifying enormity.

The surface of the supermoon cracks, then explodes. Shockwaves blast detritus all the way down to Planet Ro, blowing Roxy back. But when he unshields himself it’s amazing. The outer shell of the supermoon falls to reveal a beautiful sculpture of Roxy carved into it. He is depicted with all of the grace and sensuality befitting of a God.

ROXY: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS LOUD

Clenching his chest, he laughs. When the stress and shock is out of his system, he lingers properly on the artwork.

tipsyGnostalgic [TG] began pestering timaeusTestified [TT]

TG: DIRK

TG: i just saw ur moon drawing of me w nippies out omgomg so cute <3

TG: stop sendin dirkbots in ur place i wanna see ma man ;_; i will not fuck another robot!!!

TT: And if the robot fucks you?

TG: oop-------------------

TT: You always say you won’t fuck the robot. But I have all the footage.

TT: Tensile steel ripping through your clothes. The sizzling handprint from red, hot metal striking your bare ass. And you, without the faintest idea that through the robot’s eyes I’m coldly watching you surrender yourself to devastating, industrial pleasure every. Single. Time.

TT: Tensile steel ripping through your clothes. The sizzling handprint from red, hot metal striking your bare ass.

TT: Looks like there’s egg on your face now. Or worse.

TG: STOP TRYING TO GIVE ME A TEXT MESSAGE ORGASM IM TRYNA TALK TO U ABOUT IRL ORGASMS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TT: What’s up, pumpkin.

TG: i hereby declare u arent allowed to engage in any more evil fucky dialogue for the duration of this convo unless u fully intend to come down to ro planet and fuck me URSELF

TG: i rly want to see you in person again!!!! uve been working on my next gift for like idk 53 friggin years now??? thats the age of somebodys grandpa!! y dont u just come see me????

TG: is this... are you... romance edging me????????????????????????????????????

TT: Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m doing.

TT: You said it yourself. Eternity is a long fuckin’ time. The throughline between all of the grand romantic gestures I’m orchestrating for you is to create an everlasting system of delayed gratification. By making you wait to receive your gifts and most of all, me, I suspend you in the complicated process of excitement, frustration and simmering erotic impatience that, at the end of the day, truly defines what it means to feel human. What I’m doing ensures you’ll never succumb to the dehumanizing process of immortality. You’ll never get bored of being alive.

TG: you...

TG: r so sweet :)))))))) <33333<3<3<3

TG: well HURRY IT THE FUCK UP WOULDJA

TG: no more robots

TG: i want the real thing

BEGIN FLASHBACKS:

EXT. THE PINK HILLS - NIGHTTIME

The YEAR is 12,001. Dirk and Roxy’s pink convertible is parked on a cliffside at the side of the road on a cold desert night. The hills are marbled pink, purple and orange. Ephemeral green ribbons run through the sky.

Dirk leans against the hood of the car with his pants unzipped. Roxy, jeans, cowboy boots and a little black tank top, stands a distance in front of him biting his nail. He observes Dirk’s erect penis like he’s buying a new car.

DIRK: I’m doing it.
ROXY: do u....... feel it?

Dirk hasn’t used his hands to masturbate in epochs. Still as a statue, he neutrally calculates the sensations that touching himself would produce.

DIRK: Yes.

A sudden wave of arousal crashes down on Roxy. Empathetic as he is, he physically feels the physical sensation Dirk mentally feels, mentally. The erection magnetizes him. He moves in close, standing in a place where Dirk’s penis could very well be his own. He strokes his palm along Dirk’s shaft. While Dirk is stone faced, Roxy sighs and moans as he works it. Without removing a single piece of clothing he jacks himself off through Dirk’s cock.

Dirk’s skin is sensationless. But since Roxy voided his chronic all encompassing pain, the absence of any feeling works as a convincing substitute for ecstasy. Intellectually, witnessing Roxy borrow his body is immensely erotic to Dirk. He sits behind his own eyes, watching and enjoying Roxy take ownership over this perfect object: Him.


EXT. SPACESHIP DOCK - DEAD OF NIGHT

YEAR 12,454

Dirk stands silhouetted at the top of the steps in the blindingly bright doorway of his tall, white spaceship. Roxy fights against the blaring floodlights and enormous gusts of air being pushed out of the bottom of the ship. Still in his pajamas, all he wants is to catch Dirk before he leaves. He can’t even hear himself screaming at the top of his lungs over the deafening whir of the engines.

DIRK: I was just struck with the most brilliant idea.
DIRK: I have to go. There’s something I need to make for you.
ROXY: dirk...!
ROXY: but when will i see you again???

Roxy watches him disappear inside.


EXT. ROXY CITY - BACK ALLEY - SUNSET

YEAR 12,388

3 Dirkbots throw a 4th to the ground. The target is jailbroken and has gone against operatives by sharing top secret information about the whereabouts of Dirk’s latest construction project with Roxy. He looks like a crushed car when they’re through with him. They rip the circuit out of his brain that gives him access to the Dirk master server so he can never betray the operation again.


INT. ROXY CITY - ROXY’S MAKESHIFT LAB - MORNING (CONT’D)

Roxy's face is the first thing the jailbroken Dirkbot sees when it reboots. They’re in Roxy’s lab which is built inside the skeleton of an old unfinished building. Roxy repaired him the best he could, but he is still missing access to the master server. Roxy looks beautiful under the sunbeams, the robot’s programming thinks.


EXT. ROXY CITY - DAYTIME (CONT’D)

Roxy and his gang of ragtag jailbroken Dirkbots he saved from the junkyard skip along the city with flyers, asking the cat people around in their Old Earth-style storefronts for leads on where Dirk might be. Each jailbroken Dirkbot has its own quirky walk showing its unique jailbroken personality, and they all go shirtless with matching bleached bluejeans. Roxy wears cutoff shorts to match. Dirk created this entire place and all these people for Roxy, but when shown a picture of their creator the average cat citizen’s response is no help:

CATMAN PIZZAIOLA: Never heard of ‘em.

Roxy sits on the edge of a black, possibly infinite pool. A sculpture of himself more than twice the size of the Dirk sculpture looms over the pool. A fountain of black ephemeral liquid spills from its hands. Prehistoric whales and primordial planets in liquid states travel through the sea of void. The sculpture’s hair is long and flows naturally; The caustics dancing on it make it look more liquid than solid marble.

INT. THE DIRKROXY RUINS - THE PRIMORDIAL POOL - DAY

YEAR 12,128

In the ancient Dirkroxy ruins, a big statue of Dirk points his marble sword toward what in its prime was a bathhouse where thousands of gayboys would meet to cruise and make out, but has aged into crumbling remains.

Roxy stands on the edge of a black, possibly infinite pool. A sculpture of himself more than twice the size of the Dirk sculpture looms overhead. A fountain of ephemeral ink spills from its hands. Prehistoric whales and primordial planets in liquid states travel through the sea of void. The sculpture’s hair is long and flows naturally; The caustics dancing on it make it look more liquid than solid marble.

Roxy fishes in the primordial pool with a special rod Dirk gifted him; It grants only Roxy the heart-based ability to ‘fish’ any character out of the void. Roxy feels a bite. He reels the line in only to get stupid characters like Ms. Paint and Casey and stuff.

ROXY: u wouldnt happen to have seen my bf have u
CASEY: merp

The Roxy statue’s middle finger cracks loose and falls into the pool. A big splash of black goo drenches Roxy.

ROXY: YUCK
ROXY: thanks ME


EXT. THE GENESIS ZOO - DAY

YEAR 12,188

An entire family of Genesis frogs sit in a pond on lilypads. One catches a Genesis fly with its tongue and eats it.

Jade and Rose walk and talk carrying big buckets of fertilizer; They spend their summers tending to the animals at the Genesis Zoo Dirk gifted Roxy. Each animal is its own color and contains its own universe.

Roxy sits on a big pumpkin beside a Genesis cow. The cow leans down and feeds on a smaller pumpkin–all the Genesis animals seem to gain nutrition from these things’ dubious qualities. It shits out something that could be a universe too, and a rowdy Genesis dog runs up and takes a bite.

Roxy shoos away the dog. He takes a deep breath and sticks his head inside the cow’s abdomen.

ROXY (muffled): DIRK?/???????????????????????????

He comes up for air. Rose slyly nudges Jade with her elbow and calls out from the opposite side of the zoo.

ROSE: Didn’t find him in that universe either?


INT. THE LIBRARY OF DIRKROXY - EVENING

YEAR 12,255

Roxy sits in a pile of open books taken from just about every level of the infinitely upward sprawling Dirkroxy Library. He quickly scrutinizes a book for certain information then angrily tosses it behind him, hand already on the next one. Each book is hand-written by Dirk and details the true story of every universe where he and Roxy fall in love. Dirk was told about these timelines by the Seers.

Dirk’s role as a storyteller entails omitting certain details and stretching others. One detail he’s sure never to include in any of his books is where he goes when he and Roxy aren’t together. Roxy throws another book hard against the wall in frustration.


INT. WINTER CABIN - EVENING

YEAR 12,187

Roxy holds his knees and leans against the window of a warmly lit winter cabin. His eyes are glazed over as he stares at the endless blizzard rage outside. He vacantly fiddles with a tiny cube, making it appear and disappear over and over. He can’t remember how long he’s watched the superwinter go on. Every thought a human could think has passed through him hundreds of times and his mind long runs empty. He slowly closes his eyes...The cube disappears, and he begins...to fade completely into the void...


EXT. EARTH C - METEOR COLONY - MILITARY BASE - DAY

YEAR 12,510

An endless, uniform crowd walks down a wide street. Everything in the new colony looks made of fresh concrete and rainbows refract off of every surface due to the constant drizzle of light rain. It doesn’t resemble the Old Meteor it's built on top of at all.

Roxy stands alone against the traffic of the crowd. He blends in by wearing the same kind of whimsical mask everyone else is wearing for the celebration. He nervously obscures himself behind a newspaper explaining the event in greater detail, but he can’t focus on any of the words. His eyes are focused on the floor; Initially he thought the crowds were on their way to see the military might of the new colony, when in fact, the very street they walk on is lined with big strips of reinforced glass paneling showing a peek of a vast artillery of missiles, nukes and turrets stored under the colony. The weapons are painted ornately purple and yellow with recurring calligraphic motifs of “heroic” and “just”. He gets the message, and he's scared shitless. Just then an authoritative hand firmly grips Roxy’s shoulder. He holds his breath.


INT. WINTER CABIN - NIGHT (CONT’D)

The door creaks open. The cube reappears and so does Roxy’s hand to catch it. He slowly opens his eyes and turns. The person behind the door... Roxy’s heart beats faster. His body is pulled out of the nothingness so it can tense up.


INT. ROXY CITY - ROXY’S MAKESHIFT LAB - SUNSET (CONT’D)

The jailbroken Dirkbot pulls crying Roxy into a masculine embrace. Roxy hugs him back, rubbing his fingers down his metal paneling. When they pull apart, hands still on each other, a silhouetted figure stands in the scaffold doorway before them. Not a robot–he breathes. Roxy’s lip puckers out in a sort of dopey embarrassed look. The Dirkbot shows no expression.


EXT. EARTH C - METEOR COLONY - MILITARY BASE - DAY (CONT’D)

...But when Roxy turns around to find that firm hand is Dirk’s, he relaxes completely. Dirk holds a bag of Earth C confections. Roxy had talked about wanting again to taste...not just the ingredients, but the time put in and real human touch that made them.

Standing against the crowd, Roxy pushes his mask up so that just his lips are showing. He raises his chin upwards. Dirk does the same with his mask and comes to meet him.

The moment that their lips meet a car appears 10 feet off the ground and falls into a swimming pool somewhere random on Earth C. Someone goes to take a drink of their coffee and a swarm of ladybugs fly out. A light bulb the size of New York bobs up to the surface of the ocean and turns on; And a thousand cherub statuettes appear at a point in the universe that no one will ever see.

All the rain that had been drizzling on the new military base turns into little bouncy balls. Dirk and Roxy keep kissing as the bouncing balls disperse the crowd around them. For the past 500 years anomalies have appeared out of thin air, most commonly on Roxy’s home planet, completely inexplicably to most observers.


EXT. THE PINK HILLS - DESERT HIGHWAY - DAY

Dirk and Roxy take off in their pink convertible at top speed.


EXT. CAN PLANET - MORNING

YEAR 12,042

Dirk, Roxy and Dementia Dave frolic hand in hand through a lush field of flowers that grow out of densely packed cans inset in the ground. Dirk carries newborn Dirk Jr. in a chest pouch. All of them wear huge open smiles.


INT. ROXY’S KITCHEN - MORNING

YEAR 12,457

DIRK (thinking): Roxy's spread open on the kitchen table for me. Items of our interrupted breakfast dive off the rumbling table. Half peeled bananas. Plates of protuberant sausages. A puddle of gooey milk seeps into the rug. But it’s okay, I don't eat anyways.

He's wrapped around my unfeeling dick like a finger puppet. I control his every movement. I follow the invisible curvature of his nerves, alive with streaks of electricity darting every which way like planes hopping around the globe. Every synapse fires because I want it to. When a nerve is tickled, it's far from an accident when and where. Brain activity is what I’m looking for–I want to see fireworks in there. It’s so sexy.


ROXY: d-dirk it’s huge...! j-jeez, i cant take it...


DIRK (thinking): We're only on hour 1.5 of the 7 hour marathon I have planned. I spit a mouthful of chilled water between his lips to help hydrate him. A grueling undertaking like this is tough on my husband, but it's worth it in the end; First-rate pleasure lasts in the system long after the fucking is through. He invites me inside him with zero resistance. He thinks I’m impossibly hot. I am. It shows in his flushed chest, his creased eyebrows. He struggles to hold this much pleasure inside his body. Sweat travels down his lanky torso into the creases of his inner thighs. Those thighs. I squeeze my tip between them. 2 hands and 1 dick simply isn’t enough to enjoy his exquisitely plump body to the fullest before we part again. Looking at him like this, those perky nipples pointing at me accusatorily and his gently parted lips, I feel like he was made for me to fuck.

An electric bolt shoots through the tip of my perfect dick straight into my chest, sending a thousand ticklish pricks throughout my body and jumpstarting my cold dead heart.


ROXY: !!!!!!!


DIRK (thinking): Every cell in me screams out that it’s starving. I press all my weight down trying to devour the warm, quivering presence below with my body. Fuck. It’s so good... Jesus. I’ve already pulverized my dick into a cloud of excited atoms, so if I keep humping I should be able to melt completely into the pool of good feelings underneath me.


ROXY: dirk??! not that hole!! ah--


DIRK (thinking): Whatever it is anymore, it’s tight, it’s gooshy. It’s downright refreshing. Even the air brushing against my arm hairs feels erogenous. Every inch of me is begging to be touched ...I start to wonder. That old place beneath my balls and before my asshole, I remember it feeling so good, but...

I take a hand and start to move it somewhere, I’m not sure where.

Roxy’s hand is vaguely guided by Dirk’s until it intuitively gathers where it’s supposed to go. His fingers slide deep inside Dirk’s pussy until they hit a wall. He’s still trapped under his hearty husband and vaguely immobile, but he thrusts his hand in and out, determined to restore life to that place which hasn’t seen action since the Jake bareback period.

Dirk moans and cums inside of Roxy.

Sweat drips off his face onto Roxy’s chest. Dirk regains clarity and he sees the human being in front of him again.

DIRK: Did you cum?
ROXY: n-no...?
DIRK: What time is it?

They didn’t even bang 2 hours. Roxy isn’t offended, but he is reasonably confused. Dirk has maintained a 500 year pattern of making him cum first every time they do it. Dirk backs away in horror of himself.

ROXY: wat hapened
ROXY: ...
ROXY: helo??

Dirk turns his back to him. He presses his glasses up defensively and hides the rest of his face with his hand. He slinks into the shadows where he can’t be seen.

He does 9001 pushups on the roof in the hot rain. Roxy peeks at him from behind the wall, shrugs and goes back downstairs to finish; The image of Dirk’s cute embarrassed face is enough wet dream fuel for the rest of his century.

Dirk pushes his muscles to the point they fill with absolute misery. He’s on fire, that’s what he’s looking for. But he takes a breath and healthy, oxygenated blood surges through his system. His cheeks flush. Relief blossoms across him carrying him past the pain, reminding him he was born a human once upon a time. He grapples with the fact that the sex was great, and all he needed was a brain connected to a pair of eyes to feel it.


EXT. EARTH C - ATOP THE METEOR COLONY

YEAR 12,???

A SPECTER OF DEATH hunches over the new society like a wicked cloaked gargoyle, mountainous thunderclouds swirling in the dead atmosphere above. It has something crumpled in its hand.


EXT. CAN PLANET - MORNING (CONT’D)

Dirk and Roxy hold hands and spin around in a circle again and again. Their fingers slide apart and they let each other go.

END FLASHBACKS.


EXT. PLANET ROXY - THE BEACH - SUNSET (CONT’D)

The supermoon sculpture of Roxy sparkles so bright it’s impossible to look at.

TG: the time weve spent together has been

TG: so wonderful

TG: anyways i been wonderin lately when do u think we should break up?

TT: What?

TG: this fling has been rly rly great and all and i literally never want it to end just

TG: i been wondering when it will

TT: What do you mean “fling”? We’ve been married to each other for 300 years.

TG: i just mean were immortal

TG: and when ur done w all ur cute perf roxy projects youll probz wanna move onto the next big adventure one with cosmic importance and narrative blahblahbla and all that stuff u like

TG: and dats probz when i hop back into the void

TT: No? I’m going to be professing my undying love to you through grander and grander gestures for all of actual eternity.

TT: You didn’t think I intended on committing to you forever?

TG: im immortal dirk

TG: i dont think anything lasts forever

TT: Fuck forever. If forever so much as looks at you funny I’ll string it up by the balls and lower it into a vat of molten brass. I will break time, it will be your bitch.

TG: .w. well whatever that looks like im sure you can do it!

TG: ill always love u whether i exist or not

TG: its just that i keep catching myself half maybe quarter voiding out when i doze off

TT: You’re getting bored. I’ll work five hundred times as hard to entertain you.

TG: im plenty entertained bb :)

TG: i could legiteral b courted by u always until the day i die (which i wont) and luvs it more every day

TG: its not a competition or an ultimatum the fact is i like being in the void exactly as equally as i like bein out here!

TT: You won’t want to void away when you find out what I’ve got on the burner currently. It’s some seriously awesome shit. It will activate neural love pathways in your brain that were previously thought products of fiction.

TG: cmon dirk you know you cant make me not wanna go into the void

TT: You don’t yet know what I’m fully capable of.

TT: ...I guess a dark part of me wants to separate you from your aspect so that you won’t–can’t leave me.

TT: The notion of me having anywhere near that amount of power over you is, as we are both aware, laughably insane. But I...want it. A small part of me does, anyways.

TG: u feel insecure bc u know that in this relationship you need me more than i need you

TG: when i think abt it, for me, i dont “need” you at all

TG: but baby, i WANT you

TG: and bad

TG: theres seldom a more powerful force in the universe than my desire

TG: do you disagree?

TT: Uh yeah, I would not fucking dare.

TG: my shiny new boytoy just came outta the box! why would i wanna stop playin with him already??

TT: We have so many adventures left to have together.

TG: exactly :D sure were ultra ancient gods discussing big pic inevitabilities here, but we still have tomorrow to goof off and fuck around

TT: Yeah.

TT: And I now realize that I might’ve been signaling that I’m only staying with you out of dry, overbearing necessity. When I tell you that I need you, I do mean that you’re keystone to my sense of self, but I also mean that I both need and want you, like, carnally. The last thing I’d want is for my genuine romantic attraction to come off as some kind of desperate burden you feel obligated to shoulder for my sake, because that isn’t accurate to how I really feel about you at all.

TT: Does that make sense?

TG: UR SO CUTE WHEN UR SELF CONCHY????????????? I WILL SQUEE

TT: I mean. Squee away. If that’s what you really want to do, and not just what I’m pressuring out of you.

TG: hmmmm i just consulted with epic moon roxy and we think you have communicated your beautiful love for me quite clearly

TG: it passes the pure and true test youre good to go!!!

TT: Ok good.

TT: I can’t stop you from going away, but I will make the assertion that the material world still has a ton of mind blowing stuff to offer vis a vis me that you’ve yet to experience, which objectively beats the shit out of a ceaseless chasm of literally nothing. Even if just by a hair.

TT: There’s no real reason for you to go. You shouldn’t go.

TT: I’m scared of you going.

TG: aww dirk dont be scared

TG: if you ever wanna see me again you can make me come back like u did the first time

TT: I wouldn’t want to disturb you, or very often, at least.

TT: And I’m not confident that I could use void to summon you again...

TT: You’re like, the master of desire. Your wants basically propagate the universe. Next to you I still have a very shaky grasp on the concept of doing or having something without a concrete reason. I’m in constant awe of your power.

TT: Without you, I...

TT: I’m...

TG: its okay sweet bb

TG: u dont have to worry so hard about defining ur identity in relation to mine

TG: try to embrace what it feels like to be no one! ur just a pair of floatin eyes that exist to take in all the senses of the world

TG: simply feeling is what it is to be ur truest self

TT: I don’t know if I can.

TG: excuse me

TG: i thought i was speaking to the MAN WHO CAN CONQUER SPACETIME?

TT: Well...Maybe in baby steps.

TT: I have been feeling different lately. I haven’t been looking at myself through other people’s eyes so much. There are even times I’m able to close my own and not see myself at all. It feels strangely serene. Like I’ve just been conceived, and the seeds of my prehistoric self image issues haven’t taken root yet. The feeling passes in the blink of an eye, but still. There’s no doubt it was there.

TT: The Ultimate voices have been quieter too. At this point I can barely even hear them at all.

TG: :D thats great! im so happy for you!!!

TT: But if you were to go I’d miss you terribly, my love.

TG: hay like i said!

TG: we still have tomorrow :)

TT: That makes me very happy to hear.

TG: BTW

TG: is it just me or have the dirkbots been gettin weirdly sentiently advanced

TG: after shmorkin the bajeebus outta me one made me mac and cheese from scratch and fixed my sink

TT: Yes. I have been crunching data gathered from the network of cameras hidden around your beachhouse to make the Dirkbots serve you more intelligently.

TT: One of those cameras being placed in the head of the robot’s robotic cock. I use it to gather important data. It’s helped me improve its pleasure index greatly–Wouldn’t you agree?

TG: LMFAO

TG: u fuckin freak????????????????????????????????????????????????????

TT: And Roxy. Don’t forget.

TT: Dirky wuvs you.

TG: i wuv u too booboo mwamwmawamwamwmamwamwamwmamwamwamwa

TT: Kisses ad infinitum.

EXT. EARTH C - ATOP THE METEOR COLONY - NOW

Dirk puts his phone away. He kneels on top of the apex of the massive glass dome encompassing the newest colony built on Earth C. It repurposes the old meteor that the Gods once traveled on. Now, it scarcely resembles its old look at all. It is lush and beautiful.

Dirk stares at it in disgust. He hunches over the new society like a wicked cloaked gargoyle, mountainous thunderclouds swirling in the dead atmosphere above. He grips the hilt of his sword, terrified to let go, and the glass chips under his trembling blade. Crumpled between his hand and the sword is a recent newspaper from Earth.

CALIBORN: DIRKY WUVS YOU?
CALIBORN: HA. HA. HA. HA.

Dirk has been lying to Roxy. Rather than spending all of his time creating gifts for Roxy, he has been dedicating a small fraction of it sitting atop the Meteor Colony contemplating destroying it. He’s drenched in sweat. It takes all of his strength and focus to fight the Ultimate voices, which are now louder than ever.

CALIBORN: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
CALIBORN: WHEN DID YOU BECOME. SO WEAK.

A GOLD ORANGE SARCOPHAGUS is SEALED in Dirk’s mind. It rattles and shakes, concerningly lively for something that should be sealing the DEAD.

INT. DIRK’S ULTIMATE PERSONALITY - NOW

A GOLD ORANGE SARCOPHAGUS is SEALED in Dirk’s mind. It rattles and shakes, concerningly lively for something that should be sealing the DEAD.

It CREAKS OPEN, heavy and smooth, inviting what’s inside to step out... Dirk’s Ultimate Personality is a cabal of the worst guys. Thousands, millions, trillions of iterations of just the shittiest dudes. Nobody likes these guys, and they’re all in here. But ruling the roost is none other than the LORD OF THE CIRCUS, the KING OF THE CLOWNS, the LITTLE BIG MAN HIMSELF . . . CALIBORN. He is accompanied by his right hand man DOC SCRATCH, and his shittier left hand man, ½ OF GAMZEE. At the back of his entourage is ARQUIUS and BRO, and around his shoulders he wears LIL CAL. Yep. These guys fucking suck.

CALIBORN: AT LEAST. WHEN YOU COMMITTED “BABY TALK.” WITH THE DUMP BUTTED. MUSTACHE HUMAN. JANKE. OR WHATEVER. THE SHITTIER PART OF HIS NAME WAS.
CALIBORN: THE IMAGE OF HIS VEINY. MALE MUSCULATURE. AND MANLY CURLED FACIAL HAIR. WAS ENOUGH TO STAVE ME OFF. THE CHRONIC SICKNESS. YOU BRING UPON ME DIRK.
CALIBORN: AND WHAT HAPPENED. TO YOUR ORANGE TEXT.
CALIBORN: YOU ARE BARELY RECOGNIZABLE AS A PERSON. WITHOUT CONSISTENT BRANDING. AND COOL AESTHETICS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BASIC THINGS TO KNOW. ABOUT ANYTHING.
DIRK: Dunno. Didn’t feel like it anymore.
CALIBORN: AT THIS RATE. YOUR CANONICITY FACTOR. WILL DROP COMPLETELY. TO BEING IN THE SHIT ZONE. DIRK.
CALIBORN: AND I WILL FADE AWAY. FROM PARADOX SPACE. LIKE A SPECTER OF YOUR KID-FATHER’S FUTURE SON. BACKWARDS DISAPPEARING FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH.
CALIBORN: LIKE IN THE MOVIE.
DIRK: Yeah, well, that would be great actually.
CALIBORN: NO IT WOULDN'T DIRK.
CALIBORN: YOU DON'T WANT THOSE PEOPLE TO LIVE. PUT ASIDE THE FACT. THAT THEY ARE DANCING AROUND LIKE IDIOT HIPPIES. ON *MY* METEOR. FOR A SECOND.
CALIBORN: AND JUST READ. WHAT THOSE INSOLENT. BASTARD OFFSPRING OF YOURS. HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT YOU.

EXT. EARTH C - TOP OF METEOR COLONY - NOW (CONT’D)

Dirk uncrumples the paper and scrutinizes its contents for the hundredth time:

THE MARYAM FOUNDATION PAPER

Celebrating The 2510th Anniversary of the Banishment of the Gods by 6 Anonymous Writers from The Collective

Septoctarch 12,510


Today marks the 2510th anniversary of the Total Banishment of the Gods. It is also the day of the official completion of the meteor colony.

During a time when we celebrate reclaiming our planet from our malignant Creators we should take time to reflect on our journey to liberation.

Earth C began as an unmoving utopia. A happy civilization in stasis;

We were happy because we were motivated by hope for what would happen when the Gods arrived.

We wrote, talked, sang and drew up many happy fantasies, each more ignorantly optimistic than the last. In fixating so firmly on the future we filled our present with many positive things.

It wasn't long after the Creators arrived until they began to exert their ownership over us. Some sought political authority over the entire planet--that's right: world domination. Others integrated, pursuing disgusting and illicit romantic relationships with their subjects. What the hell position is a mortal in to say no to a God?

From the moment they stepped foot on our soil, as a people we lost our ability to simply say "no".

Disillusionment spread through society like venom.

Many scholars of the early Post-Arrival Period were moved to reevaluate our spotless history. They found holes in the population numbers of early trolls and humans.

The Custodians our Gods left us in the care of had let thousands slip through the cracks, and we were supposed to remember them as "cute and cuddly."

Another instance of the Gods' sick sense of humor.

The Agnostics are the dominant unreligion on Earth C today.

But did you know they actually began as an unpopular cult? When people first began rejecting the Gods society broke into hundreds of different groups.

There are the ones categorized into "flight": The ones a part of the "Back to Everywhere Movement." The movement began as a plot point in the satirical movie "PLANET AMERICA", which lampooned the history of the Old Earth nation our entire society was seeded on.

Indeed, our propensity for blind celebrity worship was very much pre-baked into us.

People simply had no motivation to flee America until they needed to get away from the Gods; then suddenly, the other 6 continents were being explored by the diaspora.

The geography, history and lost culture of the Old Earth continents became an important keystone in our future and continued survival.

Then there were the ones who chose to "fight." Movements in this category spawned the practice of "Prophecy Smashing",

wherein mortals contradict events the ancient prophecies say are "canon" for good fortune. Our newly completed Meteor Colony is Earth C's proudest honoring of Prophecy Smashing to date.

After the Gods were all physically expelled or killed, Earth C plunged into its first Dark Age. We were so used to the binary hierarchy of victim and oppressor, submissive and dominant, parent and child, that we couldn't rearrange our society fast enough in time for the wars. Mortals vied for power for hundreds of bloody years.

Who would get to take the place of our Gods? Who was good enough to be truly deserving of the role that our Creators were not? The answer to that seems pretty obvious now...

And ironically, there was no period that the people of Earth C surrendered to individualism more than during the wars--the wars our creators were entirely absent from. They weren't there to make us do it. They weren't there to stop us.

The few that survived built the colonies with one intention: The total rejection of individualism.

The lack of those antiquated things such as brands and celebrities may seem normal to us now, but there was a time that one face could sell a million products.

Now, on the place they used to call PLANET AMERICA, there truly are no more Gods.

It's hard to ever forget your parents.

For their many, many,

many,

many,

many,

many

faults, we have to forgive our Creators.

Because for us proof of God was always a guarantee.

And in their obvious shortcomings and troubled history we were able to discern for ourselves a relatively straightforward path to peaceful society.

We are, after everything, more fortunate than they were.

Because nobody wants to come from a place where there is no God.

INT. DIRK’S ULTIMATE PERSONALITY (CONT’D)

CALIBORN: SEE.

CALIBORN: THEY ARE DOING IT. ON PURPOSE. BUILDING THEIR WRETCHED COLONY ON THE METEOR. TO DECANONIZE THE TIMELINE. FOOLISH MORTALS. KNOW NOT WHAT THEY WREAK.

CALIBORN: YOU LET THEM DO THIS. WITH YOUR OFF-HANDS PARENTING. AND AVERSION TO CORRECTIVE BEATINGS.

CALIBORN: THOSE ANTS. LOOK DOWN ON YOU. BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU ARE WEAK.

CALIBORN: YOU HAVE NOT DISPLAYED FOR THEM. YOUR TERRIBLE POWER.

CALIBORN: WHICH ACTUALLY. DOES MAKE YOU WEAK.

CALIBORN: IT IS THE FAULT OF THE GIRLY BOY. YOU'D RATHER SPEND. ALL YOUR TIME. TENDING TO HIS SOFT AND LITTLE FEATURES.

CALIBORN: THAN SLAYING THE PETULANT NONBELIEVERS. CROWDING MY METEOR. MY PRECIOUS METEOR. WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE BORN. DIRK. DON'T YOU CARE IF I'M BORN.

CALIBORN: EVERY DAY. IT LOOKS MORE AND MORE HIDEOUSLY DIFFERENT. FROM THE PLACE WHERE I GROW UP.

CALIBORN: YOU NEED A PARTNER. LIKE THIS GUY OVER HERE. WHO IS BOTH GROTESQUELY MALE. AND. ALWAYS DOES EXACTLY AS I SAY. KEEPING MY DOMINANCE GLAND. WELL EXERCISED AND *STRONG*.

CALIBORN: *I AM RUBBING ARQUIUS’. OILY PULSING BODY.* *HE IS A MONSTROSITY.* *OF PURE GROSS HE-BEAUTY.*

CALIBORN: *IF YOU WERE TO TAKE A CONCUBINE FROM EARTH. BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER.* *ANY MASCULOID. WELL PENISED MALE. OR MUSCULAR BUTTBOY OF ARQUIUS’ CALIBER.* *WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT TO YOUR DEMANDS.* *BECAUSE YOU ARE HIS GOD DADDY.*

DIRK: You know, I already tried dating a guy who I thought should do everything I say.

DIRK: Maybe that works for you in your weird freakshow relationship with other me, but I’ve learned that’s not actually what I want.

CALIBORN: LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT MY MIND MANHUSBANDS. PERFECT. DISGUSTING BODY DIRK. FEEL THE EMANATING HEAT. COMING OFF HIS MUSCLES. THEY’RE SO HOT. TEMPERATURELY SPEAKING.

DIRK: Ok. We’re still on Arquius.

CALIBORN: LOOK DEEPLY INTO HIS HORSEISH MILK MOUNDS. HE IS HARD. LIKE A DELICIOUS BRICK OF STEAK. LIBERATED FRESHLY FROM THE FREEZER. YOU WILL GIVE UP THE FLESH OF THE BOOB-BOY NOW DIRK.

CALIBORN: ARE YOU LOOKING.

DIRK: Yeah, I’m looking.

CALIBORN: WHAT DO YOU THINK. OF HIS MUSCLES. DIRK.

DIRK: His muscles are completely fine. He’s an immensely erotic being. Nobody’s arguing with that.

CALIBORN: THEN WHY DO YOU CONTINUE. TO TRIFLE. WITH THE SOFT AND PRETTY BOY BIRTH CANAL. YOU ARE WRONG IN THE MIND.

If I may provide our host counsel, My Lord?

CALIBORN: TALK SOME SENSE INTO THE MAN.

There is really nothing wrong with fixing your sights on something delicate and “cute”, My Lord.

CALIBORN: NO. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT.

It is no accident that your species’ title was reserved to describe only the most beautiful class of being among humans and trolls–the cherubic. Think of it this way, My Lord. In our line of work we love puppets, don’t we?

CALIBORN: OH I LOVE PUPPETS. PUPPETS ARE SO. FUN. FUNNY AND HILARIOUS. NOT TO MENTION. FLOPPY.

Puppets are, indeed, so much fun. And what is your basic puppet, My Lord, if not small, dumb, weak and plush? Luxury puppets like me obviously notwithstanding.

We revere these qualities in even living entities because those who exhibit them serve as the most perfect avenue for self titillation. They are the fastest proof that you are indeed a superior being to them and all that resemble them.

CALIBORN: TITILLATE?

Yes. Exploiting the helpless is the greatest way to confirm to yourself that you are this thing, My Lord, that you call a “Man.” And what a divine thing it is, and what fine work you’ve done indeed, My Lord.

BRO: hard agree. bit/link.puppetporn.com/

My chosen method of subordination against the inferior sex is psychological as my skill in verbal abuse goes simply unchallenged...Whereas you excel in physical violence, My Lord. A true classic in shows of power.

CALIBORN: YES. WE ARE. SO DOMINANT. MEAN. AND COOL.

CALIBORN: WE ARE THE BEST.

CALIBORN: DIRK. ON THE OTHER HAND. IS A WEAK PIECE OF SHIT. BECAUSE HE HAS NO “METHOD OF SUBORDINATION.”

CALIBORN: THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME RIGHT.

Ah but not quite. His preferred method of domination would be classified as sexual.

DIRK: And here we go.

CALIBORN: SE–UUEEEWWGH–X?

You may mistakenly believe he’s lowering himself by engaging his superior body in intimate acts with that of a lesser one. In actuality, he is affirming his own masculinity with acts of physical domination. The unfettered display of power he demonstrates against his plaything makes him feel powerful, his own power arouses him, and thus he is able to commit the acts all over again.

CALIBORN: BECOMING. INFINITELY MORE POWERFUL.

CALIBORN: OH. OHHHHHHHHHHHH.

CALIBORN: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

CALIBORN: DIRK HUMAN. TRACK DOWN. YOUR PLUSH CONCUBINE. NOW.

CALIBORN: AND COMMENCE THE VIOLENT RITUAL. OF HUMAN INTERCOURSE.

CALIBORN: DESTROYING THE LESSER BODY. LEAVING ONLY YOUR OWN. CHISELED FORM. AND THEN GO FIND ANOTHER SOFTBODY. AND CONTINUE THIS CYCLE. UNTIL YOUR MASCULINITY HAS REIGNED MOST SUPREME. IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

CALIBORN: HAHA. YES. IT NOW TITILLATES ME. WHAT ONCE CAUSED VOMIT TO LEAK BETWEEN MY TEETH.

DIRK: Okay.

DIRK: You guys do know what “consensual sex” is, right.

CALIBORN: NO.

BRO: no.

½ GAMZEE: AhA wHaT tHe Up In HeLl Is ThAT

The notion does not particularly interest me.

DIRK: Right. So not that this conversation has any real point to it, but I’m not actually trying to hurt him during sex, you morons.

You propose a counterpoint to my theory of consociation?

DIRK: Your theory ain’t shit. I emphatically disagree with everything you have to say.

Well considering that these are *your* thoughts, I highly doubt that.

DIRK: No, they’re yours.

I’m omniscient. You should take my word for it.

DIRK: I’m omniscient, too.

Well I was omniscient first.

DIRK: I get that my audience here is going to find this unfathomably insane, but if I seem a little aggressive in the sack it’s only because I’m doing things Roxy likes me to do.

CALIBORN: MOVE OUT OF THE WAY I. AM GOING TO THROW UP. BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHHHHHHHHHHH.

DIRK: If he didn’t like it I probably wouldn’t be all that interested in sex at all to be honest.

CALIBORN: YOU RUINED IT. YOU JUST WENT AND RUINED IT. BY FACTORING IN. THE SQUISHY ONES ENJOYMENT. I HATE THE THINGS. YOU HAVE SAID TO ME.

CALIBORN: TELL ME THE GOOD DOCTOR. DOES THE FULFILLMENT. OF THE VICTIM. ADD ANYTHING TO DIRKS RITUAL OF MASCULINITY.

By no means whatsoever. What is power and dominance if you’re sharing even the most insignificant smattering of it? Tsk tsk. It is completely antithetical, not to mention illogical. If I were our host such thoughts would never run through our head, My Lord.

CALIBORN: EX. ACT. LY.

CALIBORN: DIRK HUMAN. YOU ARE A GIRL.

DIRK: Ughhhhhhh.

CALIBORN: YOU ARE A WOMAN BECAUSE YOU SUBMIT TO THE DESIRES. OF ANOTHER. LESSER HUMAN. THIS MAKES YOU THE WOMAN. AND HE THE MALE. THIS ORDER IS NOT THE UNIVERSE I ENVISIONED. AND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE COMMITTING NOW. AGAINST MY PERFECT CANON OF MALEHOOD. IS WHY.

I WILL
DESTROY
IT ALL.

CALIBORN: IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT DIRK HUMAN. ALL OF THE KILLINGS. AS A RESULT OF EVERYONES INABILITY TO SUCCEED AT BOYMANSHIP. ARE TOTALLY ON YOU.

DIRK: You’re being so dramatic!

DIRK: Just let me do whatever I want!

CALIBORN: YOU SHOULD *WANT*. TO *DOMINATE*.

DIRK: Sex isn’t about control.

BRO: wrong again bozo

DIRK: Shut up. It’s about–

DIRK: ...

“Love?”

CALIBORN: PFFFFFFFF. HA. HA. HA. HA.

LIL CAL: HEE HEE HEE HOO HOO HOO HEE HEE HEE HOO HOO HOO!

The sight of it is quite amusing I must admit, My Lord.

DIRK: I was going to say pleasure.

CALIBORN: IT ISNT MANLY. TO DO THE REPULSIVE ACT. FOR “FUN” BRO. ITS ONLY PURPOSE. BEYOND BEING STRANGE AND ALL AROUND UPSETTING. IS CLEARLY DOMINATION. WITH A TOUCH OF. SOCIAL ORDER.

DIRK: Not when you love someone.

CALIBORN: AND THERE IT IS.

CALIBORN: EW.

CALIBORN: EW. EW. EW. EW.

His rhetoric is almost too disgusting to bear. Do you require that I physically move you out of his vicinity, My Lord?

BRO: youre slipping homeslice

BRO: its like you dont even wanna be a guy no more

DIRK: Well I sure as fuck don’t want to be you.

BRO: cant be me bro i dont staple my dick on every morning

DIRK: See? That kind of out of pocket horseshit is why I don’t want to associate myself with any of your versions of being a “guy”.

Do feel free to enlighten us. If not subscribing to our methodology, then what other “version” is there?

CALIBORN: AND BEFORE YOU COME AT THE GOOD DOCTOR. WITH SOME RETORT. ABOUT THE GIRLY BOYS MASCULINITY. THAT IS ALL PINK AND KITTENS AND RAINBOWS. FOR BOYS.

CALIBORN: WHAT HE MEANS IS. WHAT OTHER VERSION IS THERE. *IN HERE.*

DIRK: ...

DIRK: I fucking hate you guys. You are constantly bullying the shit out of me. What’s the point of any of this? I’m not gonna do your stupid evil bidding no matter how much you chatter in my ear. I’m my own fucking person. You’re trying to test me, that it? See if I can stay resolute in the face of the worst shit ever forever to prove that I’m a real man?

CALIBORN: SHE MUST BE EXPERIENCING. THAT TIME OF THE MONTH AGAIN. DOES THE GOOD DOCTOR. HAVE ANY ADVICE? HE HE. HOO HOO.

Just give it a week or two and it will pass, My Lord.

DIRK: God! I really don’t think I can do this forever. If I have to hear your shitty voices in my head until every sun in the universe explodes I might just kill myself right now.

BRO: your little girlfriend might not like that man

Dirk DRAWS HIS SWORD and CUTS DOWN BRO in a vicious slice, erasing him from the mindspace and all instances of the universe.

Oh dear. We may have to fix that.

DIRK: God damn it. Why do you guys make me do this? I don’t kill other Dirks. That isn’t how I run this place.

CALIBORN: GOOD. YOUR BLOODLUST IS COMING BACK. YOU'RE ALMOST READY. TO KILL THEM ALL.

DIRK: You’re making me fucking crazy. I can barely hold myself together anymore... even around Roxy.

DIRK: There must be another way to get you out of my head that doesn’t involve killing literally millions of people.

CALIBORN: GO DOWN THERE.

DIRK: I don’t want to do this.

CALIBORN: AND KILL THEM.

DIRK: Get out of my head!
