A Reignited Fuse

[Cupa]

I awoke to the sound of a chirping alarm clock, the same high pitched chirping that had woke me for the last few months. I wandered downstairs in my nightgown into the living room that I had spent hours decorating with the colors of my people. Most things were green with only a few exceptions, which were the same orange as my hair and eyes. After taking a second to stretch out my back, I stepped into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of gunpowder. I chugged it a little too quickly and ended up burping out a small mushroom cloud that i found quite humorous. 

The laughter faded quickly however, as the dead silence of the house around me once again reminded me how incredibly, horrifyingly… alone I was. I flipped through the contacts on my phone, looking at the unanswered text messages I had sent them all as everyone had dropped off of the grid, something that was sadly common to life in the Omniverse, I had discovered. I placed the phone down on the counter and headed back upstairs to change. After coming back down in my usual creeper hoodie and mini skirt, I grabbed the phone and a banana, and headed out into the city.

I walked out, and the smell of the city entered my nostrils. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t rancid or anything, but you could tell that it was a city of mostly animals. As I walked through the streets searching for something to do, occasionally saying hello or waving to acquaintances of mine, I occasionally looked towards the center of the city, the location that every occupant knew, the huge pink palace that was the first building ever created in the city. Some days I wondered if I would ever meet the princess who had created it. Most days I thought about trying to see if she was there, as being a princess myself, she might be interested in meeting me. Other days I shrugged it off as madness, as I wasn’t exactly the most productive member of her city. Never did I actually approach the palace.

Eventually I found myself in a banana orchard. I laid down in the shade of a tree and reminisced on my past failed attempts to migrate into society. The time that I accidentally poisoned a customer while working as a waitress in a bar by dropping gunpowder in their white russian stands out at the top of my colossal failures. As the weight of my mistakes weighed on my, I thought about Andr, and how she would deal with this situation. First of all, she wouldn’t be in this situation. She would have found the nearest opportunity for danger and gone chasing it, confident in herself and her abilities. I pulled myself into a sitting position with my back on the trunk of the tree.

Well I’m not Andr. My name is Cupa, princess of creepers, a creature that destroys everything around it as well as itself, and I, was gonna find somewhere to cause some fucking chaos.

I headed through Ambrosia to the exit that was closest to the portal to the nexus. If any place sounded like a chance to do what I wanted with no repercussions, It was the lawless sea of sand that makes up the dunes. As I walked out of the city gate, one of the shopkeepers that I had frequently done business with called out to her. “Hey, Cupa, you headed out?”

I flashed a smile and waved. “Yeah, see you later!” The shopkeeper waved as he watched one of his better customers walk out of the city and disappear into the jungle. I dropped the smile as soon as I had turned my back. As I walked through the forest, I kept a tnt ready to be primed in my hand, but found that it wasn’t needed once I got to the clearing the held the nexus portal.

I looked around at the jungle that most resembled my home from before being transported to this world. I had a feeling that this was not the last time that I would visit this realm, although it would be awhile before I was here again. And with that, I stepped through the portal into the Nexus.
