now picturing, for the last scenario, literal floating eyeball beholding somehow drinking wine as it watches jonahlias fall for jon's incredibly awkward seduction attempts
we are in an endless void
somehow, set right in the middle of this endless and constantly changing expanse, there is a giant glowing eyeball
in front of it, floating, is a giant glass of wine
it has a bendy straw in it
(the Beholding wanted a fun twisty straw, but didn’t want to deal with the Spiral being all smug about it)
the eyeball has no mouth, as it is an eyeball
it is watching its Archivist awkwardly pose against the doorframe of its Watcher’s office
the Archivist is wearing booty shorts
this is painful for everyone involved
oh no, the eyeball thinks, my precious Archivist is an idiot
every time we look away from the eyeball and look back, the straw is in a slightly different position and there’s a bit less wine in the glass
we cannot think about the logistics of this without questioning our perceptions of reality
the eyeball continues to watch as its Watcher responds to the Archivist’s terrible attempts at seduction
the Watcher is blushing, flattered and delighted at the attention and not at all put off by the horrible awkwardness any normal human would be feeling in this situation
oh no, the eyeball thinks, my Watcher is an idiot too
the glass of wine is almost empty
the eyeball continues to watch its Archivist and its Watcher engage in the worst mating ritual in human history and beyond
oh no, the eyeball thinks, maybe I’m just terrible at picking avatars
