Chapter 41 - Side-Story: Inside the Pearl (1/2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may be wondering: If Mesa and Cang Yue were doing the nasty stuff together outside. Were Jasmine and Ophis forced to watch them? What kind of a sick mind does one have to force an innocent girl, albeit one that is the most powerful being in the universe, to watch someone have s.e.x.
Well, the answer to question is: No, they did not watch.
And how come they didn't watch, you might ask. Well, that is what we are going to explore in this chapter. Follow me as we go in to this Side-Story chapter and see what happens inside the Sky Poison Pearl during Mesa's time outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us go back to when Mesa first arrived at Blue Wind Imperial City.
Jasmine and Ophis were just sitting inside the Sky Poison Pearl, while casually eating some cookies and reading some of the books that Mesa had bought for Jasmine, when all of a sudden Mesa entered the Pearl. Looking up at Mesa, both Jasmine and Ophis were not very surprised, but what Mesa said next did surprise a little.
”Hey girls, I am just a clone, in case you're wondering, but I have come with some news. The original 'Me' has just arrived Blue Wind Imperial City and is planning on staying here for a few weeks maybe even months. So I decided that since it would be difficult, maybe even impossible for you to get out, that I would come in and keep you company throughout these days that.... let's call him 'True Me', would stay here. So~... what you are both reading?”
”I am reading a book on astronomy. Did you know that once a star that has a mass of 10 to 29 solar masses dies, its leftover core will become what is known as a neutron star and that it will have a diameter of up to 30 km but weigh as much as the sun itself? And that once its mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit of 2 solar masses it will collapse into a black hole, a region in space with gravity that is so powerful that nothing, not even light itself can escape it once it passed it Schwarzschild radius. It's really, really, really fascinating stuff and I just can't get enough of reading it.” Said Jasmine excitedly as she went right back to reading.
”Is that so. Well, now I know when neutron stars become black holes. Thanks for the trivia, I guess. And what are you reading Ophis?” asked Mesa.
”A book on your Earth's mythologies. I wanted to see the similarities in the mythologies between our Earths.” Said Ophis
”Ohh…. Well, how goes it then? I know for a fact that the mythologies between our Earths are like 90% percent similar, besides the fact that the mythologies in my world were just that, mythologies. And in your world they are real, just hidden from view.” Said Mesa.
”Yeah, that is also what I am finding out.” Said Ophis.
”Well, how about we do something else? We will be together for a while, so let us have some good old fashioned American fun.” Said Mesa proudly causing both Ophis and Jasmine to look at him questionably and curiously.
”What do you have in mind than with this so called 'American fun' of yours?” asked Jasmine.
”Ohh, you'll see soon enough.” Said Mesa with a grin on his face.
['Hey JARVIS, is it possible for me to have internet even in this world?']
[”Yes you can have internet with the only restriction that all communications with the previous world are impossible, no matter what. So that means that social media sites are unavailable, no creating account to post questions on forums or post comments on YouTube, no talking through a microphone with other people etc. As for things like online gaming, it is possible, but you cannot befriend them or send messages and you cannot search for their account names. And the reverse applies to other people. They cannot message you, befriend you or search for your account name.”]
['Alright I understand; this just means that there is no possibility of communicating with others from Earth. Meh, not important. So JARVIS, I want you to...']
In the end, Mesa bought a 100 inch 8K Ultra HD TV, an Xbox One, a PS4, a TV-cabinet to place the TV and consoles on, a black leather U-shaped couch big enough for 12 people to sit on, a coffee table, a kitchen for himself to make food in, a dining table for the three of them, a bed for himself, pinewood walls to create a room for himself and a room for Jasmine and Ophis for some privacy.
Setting everything up took him a few hours and about 35,000 system credits but after he was done he called over Jasmine and Ophis, who had been looking at him curiously from the very beginning and wondering what he was doing. Seeing that he even created rooms for himself and for them, it became obvious that he would be staying with them.
”Uhmm Mesa, what are you doing and what are those things?” asked Jasmine curiously.
”You'll see. Now, come and take a seat. We are gonna watch a movie together and I know just the right one. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.” Said Mesa excitedly as he sat down and started the movie. After quickly explaining what he did, what movies were and the premise of The Lord of the Rings movie, Mesa and the girls took their seats and started watching the movie. Suffice to say that Jasmine and Ophis were immediately captivated by the movie and couldn't keep their eyes from it.
