Mesus made a fire that night. And they pondered… Bad One deduced it was their old nemesis Greed at the right end of the pipe. Mesus deduced what must be at the left end. Mesus and Bad One were in the middle… or rather, at both ends! They had been duped by Greed and Propaganda once again! They fetched their glassblowing tools and set to work on their grandest invention yet. Freedom, here we come!

mesus 16: unfortunate truths

Bad One makes an underwater discovery. (prev | next)
















Previous: Mesus 15: Intermission
Next: Mesus 17: Deductions

(With their new swimwear, Mesus and Bad One were eager to start exploring again. *dive* The foundation of their island wasn't as deep as they had presumed. Idealist Isle. Exploitation, Incorporated!? They can't be good!? Mesus surfaced. Bad One stayed to experiment. Here, Bad One! *flick* *splash* *catch* Bad One checked out the knobs. DANGER! Authorized Access Only! He flipped the left known towards "more" and didn't stop until he heard Mesus yelp! Aiee! Bad One turned it all the way the other way and the island blossomed with life! He tried the left knob next, "more" first. Tree fruit burst into diamonds, flowers grew into rubies. Mesus made snow monkeys in the gold-coated grasses. Then the other way, leaving Mesus sputtering and grasping for the beach. Bad One set both dials back to normal and rejoined Mesus at the surface, monumentally befuzzled.)

(*creak* *creak* *creak* Mesus stood up from his rocking chair. "Do they really want to know?" he asked. "Sure they do, wouldn't you?" *yoink* "We're just badly drawn monkeys ranting in metaphors." "Badly drawn or not, we're real. As real as any meme. And if we can't find Freedom… beyond the bubble of Propaganda's delusions, in spite of Greed's omnipresence… whoa!? uh-oh! They're F'd!)

mesus 14: new horizons

Mesus outthinks their island's limitations. (prev | next)










Next: Mesus 15: Intermission

(Life was good but their island was small. Mesus had an idea! Bad One got his magnifying glass, Mesus rolled up a new leaf, and they got to work. They made three glass balls, and two big ones with holes in them like Jack-o-lanterns! Bad One was confused… until Mesus strapped the balls to his feet with leaf-rope and jumped in the water! Great idea, Mesus! Bad One put his helmet on, grabbed a few leaves, and dove in after him. Hooray!)
