The silence was defeaning.

The familar crackle and zaps of energy inside the can gone.

Schools of neuron flies going about in a hurry.

Overseers gathered in the entrance pipe, zapping at eachother in worry, to the puppet room.

It was quiet.

Except not fully.

Maddened muttering and mumbling can be heard from the puppet of [Triple Core Systems]. Iterator of this can.

Hands tightly clenching his head, probably enough to bruise, wound even.

Body curled up into a shaking ball as his arm held him there.

Anti-gravity on but all the lights are shut off.

The only source of light was from the bio-luminescence of the puppet and the ring of energy thrumming around it.

Its hands dig in further into it's head, about to break skin before-

A latch opens, a whirr of an Iterator arm hurling itself somewhere at high speeds can be heard and-

"Cor3yyy!! Your Comms cut off again!!!"

The puppet, The iterator reffered to in question, goes limp, dangling in the air by its arm.

Interrupted. Interrupted by this shrill sound again. They cannot solve the great problem for their kind and merciful creators if they dally in place. They- It has to work. It needs to work work work and-

"COR3Y!!"

Two Iterator puppets slam into the wall of the room after one threw itself at the other.

"We worried!!!"

It blinks.

One

Two

Three.

Then, they look up.

A familiarly reassuring annoying face is close to theirs.

"Triple Core Systems!!! You shut yourself off and away from everyone else for 5 cycles!!! are you trying to give ME a HEART ATTACK?!?!"

As the smaller, clad in yellows and greens with a ring of aqua green energy crackling in anger around it, Iterator shakes them as they shout and complain and berate them for this awful habit they've adopted

A chime sounds in the air as lights turn back on, their systems start to buzz and crackle as they get activated again, overseers momentarily teleporting in before leaving and neuron flies finally relaxing.

They look down at the other iterator, [Iridescent Ravaged World].

They chuckle at his worry, not mockingly but in relief that they noticed, that they made an effort to push and push against them until they gave in.

Aforementioned Iterator just wailed and weakly bashed their fists against them.

Cor3 lets him, They deserve it for doing it again.

"Do you WANT me to rip out your remaining eye left?? huh??? Do you???"

They sigh playfully as Iridescent huffs and crosses his arms infront of them.

"I do not need to use my eyes to figure out a solution to The Great Problem. But its worth it seeing your finely crafted puppet every moment of a cycle when im not being an idiot."

A straightforward and true statement. Even if Core cannot harbor romantic feelings, they can atleast appreciate beauty.

And besides, its endearing to watch Iridescent sputter and fail to make an appropriate comeback every time Core compliments him.

"Hmph!! W-well, come on. To the bridge!!! They want to check up on your overachieving ass."

Iridescent huffs as Core chuckles at how flustered he is.

They untangle their arms and wires before Iridescent yanks Core off and away to the bridge that connects their Cans together.

As they zip through the side layers of their can, Core thinks to themself...

'How wonderful would it be, if this bond never ends'

Thousands of Cycles later, after the Ancients ascended(Some not by choice. Many not by choice.)

Core holds Iridescent as they hug eachother on the floor of Iridescent's can, their son, a genetically modified to perfection slugcat, cuddled up between them.

They have their differences, and even caused 1 major injury to eachother in the past.

But no matter what.

Cycle to Cycle, Dominion and Ascension.

They are intertwined.

Forever and ever.

I LOVE THEM SOKAY....

(I still cant seem to fix my post and this one wont upload either, I will fix it as soon as I can.)

I'm still really stressed out that my posts aren’t working. I can not figure out what to do about it. I'm hoping that this is just a wifi issue here and when I get back to my apartment I can fix them all. Its really distressing.

Today has been good and I looked hella cute so I wish I could share it with you. Hopefully soon.

I slept alright last night. I woke up a few times because I was cold but that’s alright. I got up at 9 and felt okay. I did a little yoga and tried to fix my post but it was getting me upset so I stopped and went and took a shower. I got dressed, fixed my makeup, tried to fix my posts again. I was supposed to be at Jess’s place at 10 but I was feeling stressed and then mom started asking if I was going to send out the packages and the return I needed to make and I just didn’t want to do that today. Plus the box is big and Jess needed somewhere to sit in the car. So yeah I just wanted to leave.

I went to Jess’s and sat in with her while she fixed up her hair. We were both hungry but didn’t know what we wanted. But we were going to Brownsville antique so I decided to take us down street road towards it and pick that way. We ended up at friendly’s and that was good. We had good luck almost the whole day with no lines and going to places at weird times. So the restaurant was pretty empty.

Even though we both talked about trying to eat less dairy and gluten we got mini motzerella sticks, grilled cheeses, and ice cream. We did not do a very good job sticking to our plan. But the food was really good and it was nice hanging out with Jess. We talked about our favorite colors and it made me think I should find like a favorite thing list to fill out. I found one with 101 questions so I'm working on that.

We left there and went to the antique store and it was fun. Jess likes glass stuff so its like a gold mine of to many things to buy. I like going through the little baskets of jewelry. Jess found many things she liked and I had to convince her not to buy some of it. While we were there the woman who works there came to tell us she liked our style a lot and it was really sweet.

Jess got a neat light pink milk glass milkshake glass, and 2 clear pink tea cups and saucers. I got a seashell hair clip, a beautiful amber glass cup that me and Jess fought over, and a round gold necklace that says “Je T’aime” which means “I love you” and I really like it a lot. We both spent under $15 so that was really nice.

We headed from there and went to target to look around. I didn’t want anything but Jess got a neat glass jar. Okay that’s only half true there was stuff I wanted but I'm flying back home soon and there are targets there so I will pick up anything I want then. But I did have a lot of fun looking around with Jess.

I was getting tired and thirsty though so we headed to Starbucks and I got a half lemonade half ice tea with raspberry, which was a little to sweet but I still liked it. We sat at Starbucks for a while and it was nice.

We headed to Jess’s house after that. She had printed out the shipping label I need to return the incorrect phone case I got. We hung out for a while and then I was just tired so I headed home. Bittersweet. But I’ll see her soon.

When I got home my other phone case had come but it was also wrong! Turns out there are multiple sizes of this phone and I didn’t realize that. So I had gotten the pro/stylus whatever size. Sucks. And one of the ones that is coming from china is wrong as well, but its fine. I got a correct one thatll be here on Monday and the bat one I really like is correct at least according to the description. So hope is not lost.

I was supposed to meet Matt but not until around 7 so I hung out and chilled. Mom bought a weird tofu thing and I liked that. I went to meet Matt and gave him the sculptures. We went to find him pants so I got to look in hot topic and h&m so that was cool. I got salad works from the food court and said goodbye to Matt.

So I just had dinner and I'm waiting for my clothes to finish washing so I can start packing. I don’t know what I'm doing tomorrow. Its my last day and I'm sad about that. But its okay. I'm going to try to just really enjoy it. I hope you all have a good night. Sleep well.
