Malakai and Winfrey sat at a plush red booth, Winfrey sipping her Fantastic Blackout special she whipped up. Malakai drinking another root beer as He watched with great amusement Almonda and Rickter teaching Jag how to dance.
"Well all in all, that was one traumatizing yet fulfilling day we had! Wouldn't you agree?" Winfrey asked softly of Malakai as she leaned on his shoulder, the drink slowly beginning to take effect. Malakai felt himself panic at the touch but willed himself to calm down.
"Yeah you could say that." Malakai agreed.
Winfrey struggled to keep the conversation going before she realize there nothing else that needed to be said. So she enjoyed the sight of Jag tripping over his metal feet as Almonda panics and goes to help him up and Rickter laughs.
Dialoco and Uniqula walked in and to Dialoco utter surprise, the wall that was separating the kitchen from the rest of the club area was patched up completely.
"Free of charge. Sorry again about the wall." Malakai called out to them. Dialoco nodded and smiled. At this point he was glad to be alive.
"Um Mr. Malakai sir." A robotic deep male voice called out to him.
Malakai look to see one of the security automations that helped Zylon standing in front of the booth they were sitting in.
"Auto-one? What is it?" Malakai asked of him, slightly concerned. He had noticed that one of the automations was feeling a little off. Auto-One certainly did a great job tonight, helping that forest nymph and breaking Zylon free from that ice imprisonment.
"What will happen to me...well to us?" Auto-One asked, a hesitancy in their voice.
"You and the rest will be working here for as long as you needed or in some cases want to." The God answered honestly.
"Can I...leave? And be by myself? Can I explore the world if I really wanted?" Auto-One asked of it creator.
Malakai smiles as Auto-one for the most part looks nervously as he is able to at his creator.
"Of course you can. You can do whatever it is you need to do. Will you be alright by yourself?" The God asked of his creation genuinely.
Auto-One nodded, feeling a lot better now.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Yeah I be fine. I want to see more of this world, you know? See what people there are and what adventures I get myself into." Auto-One further explained.
Malakai understood completely, he was proud of this automation for coming to self-actualization much faster than he ever could. The fact that the automations continued to evolve made him excited and honestly a little fearful about what this could entailed.
Auto-one took a awkward bow.
"Um thanks for creating me, I wouldn't have gotten this far if you haven't. Jeez I'm kinda awful at conversations aren't I?" Auto-one said awkwardly.
"You get better with time. Just keep working at it and you can improve little by little. It may not seem like you making progress sometimes but you are with every little step you take. I would know after all." Malakai said to the automation gently. Auto-One nodded and left. But then right before Auto-One reach the exit door, he turn and gave a thumbs up to Malakai and Malakai returned it. Malakai wonders how the automation would fare out there. He keep an eye on Auto-one just to be safe.
Winfrey got up made her way to the audio room and put on one of Swano's hits. "Anxiety=Annihilation. Feat. The Big Town Boys"
Malakai look at Winfrey funny, She shrugged and gave one of her smiles that soothed his soul.
"Hey she a sociopathic bitch but she made some bangers." She said as another automation bring them a large plate of spicy buffalo wings and fries.
"I don't think she a sociopath." Malakai said honestly.
"You didn't disagree on bitch tho." Winfrey noted as she sat down next to him.
"No comment." Malakai said before cracking a smile.
They both started laughing. Winfrey offered her drink to Malakai and he thought on it.
"You know what I think I will." Malakai told her as she look worried.
"Are you sure? I call this the fantastic blackout for a reason you know?" Winfrey told him now a little concerned. She could handle it no problem but Malakai was more lightweight than a white girl fresh in college. She still remember the drunk white girl committing arson and grand theft auto at the same time, what a legend.
"What the hell was i thinking? Come on Winfrey you just had a whole experience in your mind and sorta came out a better person. (No you didn't) (SHUT UP I THOUGHT I KILL YOU!) Don't fuck this up." Winfrey scolded herself for falling back into her carless habits.
"I..." He thought on it some more.
"You know what? I stick with my root beer." Malakai said as he went back to sipping his drink.
"Good call. Sorry about that, don't know what my dumb-fat ass was thinking." Winfrey
"It alright and You're not fat. Even if you were you still my best friend and i wouldn't care." Malakai said to her as he placed a comforting hand on her own hand that was coated with wing sauce. The Goddess of Wine was surprised at how he sentimental he could be. It was very sweet to her as a light blush made it way to her face.
"No, what I'm saying is I'm dumb but my ass is fat and very juicy! But thank you...you're my best friend too. Well after Thermes." Winfrey told Malakai who also blushed as well.
"So now let dig in before this food get cold." Winfrey told him before devouring wing after wing.
Malakai did the same, he saw Auto-One talking with Jag. Almonda spinning on the ground while Rickter failed to do the worm and he saw Winfrey stuffing fries into her face and felt a true happiness he couldn't describe.
