Destroyer looked at MoD, whose eyes were baggy from another sleepless night. "Jesus, MoD, do you ever sleep?" he asked.
MoD shook his head as he handed Destroyer a large mug of Root Beer. "Haven't slept a wink in nearly a year now. I've learned to survive without it."
Destroyer pointed to his eyes, which held more bags than a supermarket. "Doesn't look like it."
"Well, I have too much work to do." MoD snapped.
"Hey, cool man. No need to get all worked up." Destroyer said. "I understand."
"Do you?" MoD said, intimidating Destroyer to the point where he grabbed onto his barstool tightly. "Do you have even the slightest sense of what it's like to live here?"
"I-I-I don't know..." Destroyer stuttered. "I've only been here for 3 weeks."
"And in these 3 weeks you have stayed close to this Tavern, living on the streets, is this right?"
Destroyer nodded, daring to take a sip out of his root beer.
"And this is in part due to the fact that you spend all of your money on your rather humorous addiction to root beer, isn't it?"
"Maybe..." Destroyer said.
In a swift motion, MoD Took Destroyer's root beer from under his grasp, lifted it up and threw the pitcher against the wall, where it all spilled out and the pitcher of glass broke into pieces. "Then STOP drinking the damn stuff!"
Destroyer looked at the wall, the dislodged Dart Board and the broken pitcher pieces. "Isn't... isn't Demonik gonna be mad about that?"
"Demonik?" MoD chuckled. "He's never here. He did the smart thing and skipped town. I practically own this damn place."
Destroyer's eyes bugged and he dared to ask "What is wrong with you?"
"I'm Bi-Polar, you foolish young man." MoD chuckled again. "But that's not all that's wrong with me. Let me tell you what else is wrong with me." Without warning, MoD leaned up to Destroyer and whispered quietly,
"I moved here."
Leaning out, he continued. "When I first arrived here, it was because Runouw IV was a technical genius as well as a great leader. An Inspiration. He put years of effort into one project, his virtual game. This was not any virtual game, this was a masterpiece. You could roam entire worlds inside one large building, and it was magical. You were Mario. You didn't just play as him, you were a hero. Best yet, you could create your own virtual worlds.
"But lately, popular demand for the game died out, and people were left with little to do, and some of them started leaving. Runouw was desperate. He left his right hand men Superyoshi and Demonik in charge, who in turn hired Fourinone to lead with them, and he went into intensive work on his next virtual game, promised to be even bigger and better than before. No one has heard for him in a year.
"Essentially, what use did occur of Runouw's last virtual game was punished by hackers who tried to abuse the game. They made horrific worlds that entrapped other people in Virtual Reality. To stop them, Game Officers were hired.
This is how Blablob and I got our start."
