Prompt Response:
Vermouth’s chuckle made Anova turn his attention to the earth kalon. “What is funny?” The two had just been watching tv, some folks were discussing their cache for what they were considering “the apocalypse”. They all had similar descriptions of this worlds end, but their plans were all different.
Vermouth shifted to angle his body to Anova. “I mean, these people who act like they’ll ever have to prepare for the end of the world? It’s ridiculous!”
Anova just flicked his ear in response. He forgot Earthlings hadn’t seen the rise and fall of any planets in their history.
“…what? Anova, you don’t really think what they’re doing is sane, do you?” Vermouth was clearly baffled.
Anova nodded thoughtfully. “Well, their technique and their idea of the end of the world is very… fantastical, but they have the right spirit.”
Vermouth’s mouth was agape, and after a long pause he started to laugh again. “Okay Mr. Nihilism, what do you think is going to happen to us?”
Anova shrugged. “To us? Nothing. Those kalons with entire bunkers are wasting their time and money.”
Vermouth rolled his eyes. Anova had only been around for about a month and was not yet used to not taking everything so literally. “To earth, Anova. What do you think will happen to our civilization?”
“Oh!” Anova perked up at the misunderstanding. “Well, I mean, look at everything here. War, climate change, civil political destruction… I don’t see y’all changing anytime soon.”
Vermouth sat back against the couch, looking serious. “Not that I will ever do any of this bunker stuff, but… explain more?”
Anova nodded in acknowledgement. “Well, I believe first the war will eventually take over. Earthlings will destroy each other for resources, but not to the point as to radiate the whole planet. But enough that any place that was once valuable will no longer be so. The civil turmoil will split apart countries into smaller factions, which will create a great decline in civilizations functions. Essentially earth kalons will unevolve from civilization. Revert back to your natural ways. Without internet and technology to continue to help you all, it’s only inevitable. As a race you’re too connected. Granted, so is my home on Calci, but we don’t fight like you do. Anyway. Then climate change will run its course, nature will take back over, and the earth will become a beautiful lush place again, with only ruins as a reminder of your specie.”
Vermouth looked astounded at Anova’s matter of factly description. “And what do you think kalons should be doing to prepare themselves?”
Anova shook his head. “Nothing. There’s really nothing one can do. Live your life.” He looked at the stairwell to the kits bedrooms. “Be happy, I guess.”
Vermouth shook his head. “I know you’ve learned about the rise and fall of all kinds of races. How long do you think we have?” He was visibly tearing up from stress at the thought.
Anova paused to think. “With how volatile you earth kalons are? Twenty, maybe thirty years.” He lied, but he knew it was worth saving Vermouth the emotional turmoil. He’d instead give it another millennia or maybe even a few millennia or so.
Vermouth facepalmed and laughed. “Oh! So you think that the kalons on the tv are fantastical! You’re funny Anova. But I know we’ll last longer than that.”
Anova tried not to crack a smile. “We’ll see, friend.”
