World Order
Chapter 11
>World Order
>Here we are.
>After landing back home and straight to the BOSS' main office, BOSS intensely stares at our COSMIC ANGELS. Finn and Val are well aware that they’re in for it now. BOSS is very strict, and seeing how our COSMIC ANGELS disobeyed a direct order, this meeting probably isn’t going to end well.
>An awkward silence roars through the room, making our COSMIC ANGELS very uncomfortable. Their eyes stray away from BOSS hoping this interaction would abruptly end.
>Val periodically checks-in on Finn. She’s been well aware of his spontaneous emotions recently. She can’t exactly figure out what’s going on with him, but she knows whatever he saw in the LIGHTBEAM has to play a part in all of this.

[M] - Awkward Ambience
>...
>Oh man, even the big man himself is too upset to speak. By now he would’ve yelled at them and already had them out the door!
>...
>Okay, this is getting wayyy too awkward. Let’s look around BOSS’ room to help us speed up the time!

>Okay, this is getting wayyy too awkward. Let’s look around BOSS’ room to help us speed up the time!
>Yup.
>That uh... pretty much sums it up.
>He has the entire upstairs room to himself, but instead he likes to occupy all his work in one small spot. We would judge and criticize his poor interior design skills, but we’re already scared of the potential reality-breaking freakout that could occur at any moment. So, for now, we’ll keep quiet.
>You should too.

>You should too.
<COLE sighs> “I gave you guys probably the easiest mission you have EVER had. All you had to do was use your GALACTIC PERMIT, search any broadcast station on N3R-DV13W, and report back if you found any sign of a planet destroying superbomb. I told you to not take action, I just needed a fucking report.”
<COLE scratches his head in frustration> “Now instead, you two made friends with the locals and started to blow our cover.”
>Surprisingly, he’s not as upset as we thought he’d be. We’re still treading on thin ice though, so we don’t want to accidentally set him off.
<COLE scratches his head in frustration> “Now instead, you two made friends with the locals and started to blow our cover.”
>Surprisingly, he’s not as upset as we thought he’d be. We’re still treading on thin ice though, so we don’t want to accidentally set him off.
>Finn is lost. ‘Blow our cover?’ ‘Make friends with the locals?’ What does he mean? Isn’t this the work of a COSMIC ANGEL? Aren’t we trying to rehabilitate the entire universe? Making friends is just the right thing to do, isn’t it? Isn’t it right to change planets from BAD to GOOD? Why is this all meant to be a secret? If it was public couldn’t everyone come together and speed up the process?
>Why is this bothering you so much?
>You’ve always been so obedient. You never questioned the morality of your BOSS. You would blindly follow orders because you never knew any better. With the DISTANT MEMORY and the view of life through the city of Nucleia, this work-life isn’t ideal anymore. BOSS is hiding something; ulterior motives that are abstracting all the answers.
>Meanwhile, the only thing bothering Val is whether she'll walk out this room alive or not.

<COLE> “Finn for the love of piss, please say something. I know this is all your fucking fault.”
>Finn stands there quietly.
<COLE groans> “You do know what WE’RE doing right? What OUR purpose is? We all need to help each other. We have a massive world in our hands and we have to all work together to establish peace.”
>This doesn’t make sense. Finn believes it’s contradictory.
<COLE cuts himself off> “Holy shit Finn, fucking say something.”
>Finn stands there quietly.
<COLE groans> “You do know what WE’RE doing right? What OUR purpose is? We all need to help each other. We have a massive world in our hands and we have to all work together to establish peace.”
>This doesn’t make sense. Finn believes it’s contradictory.
<COLE cuts himself off> “Holy shit Finn, fucking say something.”
>Val stiffens. She is absolutely terrified for the safety of her and her friend. She finds it unfair how BOSS is specifically targeting Finn, but at the same time she can’t help but feel a little relieved.
>With just the snap of his fingers, our COSMIC ANGELS could be skinned alive while their eyeballs melt.
>Okay relax, let’s not overthink and get too paranoid. As long as Finn doesn’t say anything stupid—
>With just the snap of his fingers, our COSMIC ANGELS could be skinned alive while their eyeballs melt.
>Okay relax, let’s not overthink and get too paranoid. As long as Finn doesn’t say anything stupid—
<FINN mumbles> “Go stop them.”
>Oh.
>Oh man. He really is out of it. Usually, he’d be his silly self and play this whole thing off as a joke to piss BOSS off on a comedic level. Instead, he’s purposely instigating him. Val is so nervous she might literally freeze frozen solid again.
<FINN> “Mib said his people follow God. Planets have disappeared and they w-want to help their God speed-up the process of the ‘natural world order.’ That superbomb could detonate any minute now because you w-wouldn’t let us stop them. Even now, you aren’t doing anything about it! That wonderful city, so much life and energy, something so much more EXCITING than here is going to be gone because you aren’t doing anything about it!”
<FINN huffs but slowly gets lost in thought> "Wait... Mib said they made contact with God. What did he mean by that? Have you been there before?”
>Oh.

<FINN huffs but slowly gets lost in thought> "Wait... Mib said they made contact with God. What did he mean by that? Have you been there before?”
>Okay, he really needs to shut up. He is going to piss off BOSS so badly he might just eradicate the both of you this instant.
>This is bad. This is very bad. Your HEART OF GOLD could literally burst out your chest right now. Now you’re freaking out even more...
>Hyperbole Val! BOSS isn’t going to rip your HEART OF GOLD out... maybe... hopefully...
>This is bad. This is very bad. Your HEART OF GOLD could literally burst out your chest right now. Now you’re freaking out even more...
>Hyperbole Val! BOSS isn’t going to rip your HEART OF GOLD out... maybe... hopefully...
>Finn’s remarks have left another awkward silence. Val is shaking as everyone stares at each other.
>As if the distance wasn’t already far enough, it feels like the room is stretching, expanding the distance from our COSMIC ANGELS and BOSS.
>As if the distance wasn’t already far enough, it feels like the room is stretching, expanding the distance from our COSMIC ANGELS and BOSS.
>What was Finn even thinking!? Talking back to BOSS like THAT? Even if it was stupid, you can’t help but agree with Finn. To keep the peace, BOSS can’t know that.
>What could BOSS possibly be thinking? Is he planning a new creative way to murder you two? He wouldn’t actually commit to that right? He needs us! He always makes it very clear that we’re the ones he wants, so he wouldn’t actually do that, right?
>Something suspicious is going on around this mission, but you know better. You know to let things happen as they do. Who are you to interfere with what others tell you? As long as everyone’s happy in the end, things can work out.

>...
>Gone. Just like that.
>Gone. Just like that.
>We’d say gone, but like BOSS previously stated when he rudely cut us off, he NEEDS our COSMIC ANGELS. They are too special and he cannot dispose of them.
>In a situation like this, maybe disappearing wouldn’t be so bad.
>You’re never vocal about your feelings and opinions as it seems like whenever you are, you bring the world down.
>Like right now. Thrown into the COMFORTABLE space of your bean bag.
>You are concerned about the well-being of others but for some reason, that’s too much on you. Maybe you handled it the wrong way, but what’s the right way?

>Maybe you were rude to BOSS, and maybe you should respect the AUTHORITY of someone even if that diminishes how you feel. Everyone around you will always be right, and you should REALLY STOP acting like you know any better.
>This sucks. Everything about this sucks. That DISTANT MEMORY is festering in your mind and the fate of Nucelia weighs on your shoulders. This is why you run to the COMFORTABILITY of DRAWING, or STARING AT YOUR BOXED SCREEN.
>Emotions like this are a burden, who would ever want to feel this way? You feel shaky, nervous, and upset. You wish you could be OCCUPIED, but a DISTANT MEMORY is distracting you from REALITY.

>This DISTANT MEMORY won’t stop gnawing at you. Those BIG ROUND EYES… it’s like they've been haunting you forever. But how? You’ve been a COSMIC ANGEL for as long as you can remember, and not once have you ever encountered that person.
>Are there more MEMORIES you DON'T remember?
>Work was never Finn’s forte, but now he truly believes that he is capable of living a life more COMFORTABLE and EXCITING than this. Things really would be better if you could just get out of here.
>You can’t help how you feel. Your BOXED SCREEN isn’t going to distract you, you can’t help but constantly draw a FAMILIAR FACE, and your bean bag is oddly UNCOMFORTABLE. Your mind is too busy, and being trapped in this dimensional tear-of-a-house where you have no one to talk to isn’t helping. If only you could runaway and live in a place as ACTIVE and LIVELY as Nucleia.

>You feel lonely. Maybe you don’t deserve a life outside this box if all you do is ruin everything.
>In the COMFORT of your own home, there lacks any bit of COMFORT-ABILITY, yet at the same time, you’re COMFORTABLE with this LACK OF COMFORT. It’s confusing, but for some reason, at this moment, it’s the only thing that makes sense.
>This feeling… it’s all you’ve ever known.
>And maybe… it’s all you deserve to know.
