I love this one, Lilly!
This one has been floating around in the back of my brain for a while now...
Do androids dream?
Dorothy pondered the question as she walked through the streets of Paradigm. It was grey, as usual, but the rain was holding off.
It was oddly silent today. She looked around curiously. Even the hardiest street vendors were not to be seen, not even the ones that set up shop no matter what the weather.
She was coming up on the Speakeasy so she crossed the street and headed towards the entrance, wondering at the lack of traffic. It, too, was oddly silent. The door yielded easily when she pushed it open, but there was no one inside.
An odd sense of imbalance pushed itself to her awareness. Had something happened to her? Had something happened to the city? Why couldn't she remember? She left the Speakeasy and began checking the buildings, moving faster and more frantically as she continued to find no trace of life.
Was she the only one? It wasn't... couldn't be possible. There was nothing wrong with her memories. She could clearly remember having breakfast with Roger just a few hours before. She could see him at the other end of the long table, sulking because she had woken him up, just as he did every morning.
Roger. He would be able to tell her. Faster than any human, she ran back to the mansion, trying to keep from panicking. Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong.
She ran through the door and found her home just as deserted as the rest of the city. She checked for Big O. He, too, was missing.
"Roger!" She spoke his name, surprised to find herself lying on a table in the basement of the mansion. The sudden certainty that he needed her was so strong that she barely registered the blonde man staring at her in disbelief. Her feet took her to the roof of the mansion and she stood on the ledge, the cold wind clearing the cobwebs from her mind.
"Rooooooooooooooooger!"
Fin
She raises here newly bought cymbals next to roger's ear.
