“If it reacts to pain, then it might not be ‘zombie-like’ at all. It might have some form of actual life in it. Perhaps try a gentler approach? See if it reacts to more natural instincts like drinking water or a change in behavior when the lights are turned off? Like an animal would, I mean.”

“I could, but the boss came in and told me to be rid of it asap. It’s his heart, thus, his call in the end.”

“By the way, who are you?”

“Did you use their kindness against them and conquer their entire society?”

“Uh…. no. They were great masked giants, and one of them had a dog. The Masked Army liked going to war a lot though… and one time when they came back Alicia and Doug bled all over my lab and… well, ruined my months of research and work. I… felt unable to stay after that.” Carlos frowned at the memory. It was… very disappointing. For many reasons.

“The whole ordeal sounds disappointing, but next time you go through the rift maybe you’ll find a place more accommodating to your professional interests. And with less blood.”

“Perhaps. And this time around I ended up here.” He gave the other a polite smile. “By the way… this is your lab. What sort of work are you up to here, if I might ask? Aside from the heart, I mean.”

“Oh I’m a villain. Most would call me a “mad” scientist, but, well I’ve got a clean bill of sanity really. I just look at the bigger picture. I create weapons and help run an organization that specializes in the neutralizing of heroes and do gooders the world over!”

“The boss of course being that of an Elder God has taken over the world more then once, has decided to help evil doers flourish through capitalistic means. We’re the largest conglomerate known to our world! Almost everything has Black Hat Organization’s brand on it!”

“Well, Twinkies aside. Everyone loves those.”

“The Black Hat Organization? I… can’t say I’ve heard of you guys. Huh… this universe may be far more removed from mine than I thought.

“This might be stretching, but since you described your boss as an ‘Elder God’… have you ever heard of a town called Night Vale?”
