.01. ANOTHER TANGENT UNIVERSE

[tangentdarko]

[VIDEO: Donnie is sitting at his desk, hunched over his computer a little bit and occasionally emphasizing his point with his hands. The technology is a bit beyond his time and he doesn't seem to realize it's a video function.]

What would Dr. Thurman say about this? Frank said the world would end, but it didn't. [His tone is almost whining for a second, then it switches to intellectual and excited.] It was just the end of that parallel.. of the tangent universe. I think this is a new one though. I don't think Grandma Death's book talked about this? [He seems to look around for a moment, then returns his attention to the computer.] I don't really know how closing one would create another..

[A pause, then he's complaining.] I don't want to live through October again.

I don't want this calendar. Someone take it. [A hint of desperation as he glances at the calendar on his wall, to his right; another pause, then back to a neutral tone.]

I hope wherever this is is better than the shithole I lived in before. [He laughs a little, not quite a genuine or sane laugh. Then his tone is falsely amused.] I don't really know how it couldn't be.

Grandmother of death?

Nooo. This old lady we called Grandma Death because she was so old we thought she should have died already. I mean, I wasn't the one to start calling her that. I don't even know who was. It just kinda stuck and then no one even knew her name for a really long time.

She numbered amongst the undead?

What? No!

What is wrong with this?

She wasn't undead! Besides, things like vampires don't even exist for real. They're just like, stuff people write about to make a good horror film. Where are you from anyway that you don't even know how dumb it is to think someone old is automatically a zombie?

Plus she was outside like, all the time in the sun and everything and I heard vampires are supposed to be attractive and she wasn't attractive at all. I think she might have even been religious too and that's kind of weird for a vampire. She was too fat to be a skeleton. And I found out she used to teach at my school and she wrote this book on time travel, so she couldn't have been a zombie because she was too smart. You see where there's like, a lot of flaws in your idea? Not to mention it's just illogical to call someone "grandma" if they're undead unless you're related to them.

I am tempted to toy with you, I think... To speak of such things as trivial fancies. To say, why, yes! We should mock them together!

Only to induce terror at a later time.

But no... This would disappoint others who know of me. Instead, I shall teach you only one important lesson.

I am vampire, Sir.

And so, too, are others who dwell here.

Are you always this full of shit?
