“I can't feel my face when I'm with
you,” he drunkenly slurred at the mass of primordial gelatin, “But
I like it. I like it!” slowly, the paralysis crept across his neck,
chest and extremities. In a state of ecstatic bliss, he never noticed
his lover was beginning to digest him.
This was the fate of many of suitors of
Cynthia, the sexiest gelatinous cube at the disco. The pounding bass
would make her quiver so enticingly, all the laser lights refracted
through her. Patrons of all races and all inclinations would she her
quivering on the dance floor and flock to her like moths to the
candle flame. Perhaps it was the drugs that made her attractive,
perhaps it was that she literally
was a drug. Perhaps it was the ennui that the patrons felt which made
them flock to her. She was still death. But compared to an
adventurer's blade, Cynthia was sexy
death.
The
disco never tried to bounce her from the floor, having realized that
they could collect all the inorganic belongings of Cynthia's many
lovers once she finished digesting them. Besides, there was something
grotesquely disco about nubile young beings floating in translucent
jelly, paralyzed in a state of bliss, the strobes bouncing off their
jeweled and bedazzled armor. Management actually started to promote
the club with her as the main attraction. Sales were never higher.
Eventually,
adventurers showed up. There was blood. There always is, with
adventurers.
The
adventurers burned down the club with Cynthia in it. The pitiful
player characters had no idea what they had unleashed onto the world.
News of the razing spread to all edges of the map, and before long
outposts started burning.
Five
years to the day of the club being razed, Drage, king of the Disco
Orks, threw the last king humanity would ever have into a massive
gelatinous cube. As the ruler was floated within the caustic jelly
with the members of his court, the Orcs danced sang and did strange
inorganic drugs.
Within
ten years, adventurers were extinct. The world was now safe
for Cynthia.
This
is how the world ends. Not with violence, but with dancing.
