Look at this! My masterpiece! Bound to change the world, or at least blow a hole in it!
Now that's a good question, isn't it? This, my friend, is the ultimate doomsday device. A little something I like to call "The Big Bang-Bang."
Oh gosh indeed, but you're looking at the wrong end, my dear mstunning! grins maniacally
Why do you always look at the wrong end of the stick, Viktor? Are you trying to be ominous or just plain stupid? And seriously, what does this thing do now?
Viktor pats the side of the doomsday device lovingly. It's really quite simple, mstunning. You just point it at the thing you want to explode and pull this little trigger right here. He points to a small lever on the side of the device. And then... boom! Just like that! Well, maybe not just like that... more like kaboom!
Oh, don't scoff at me, mstunning. Do you think I'm just making all this up? Trust me, I'm very serious about this. This thing has been my life's work and if it doesn't work, I'll probably die of embarrassment! So, either way, you should be scared! Really scared!
Viktor looks at the doomsday device and shakes his head, chuckling a bit. You know what, you're right, mstunning. This thing probably won't work and even if it does, who knows what will happen. Probably the world will explode and we'll all be killed! How depressing. But hey, that's why they pay me the big bucks, right? To take risks! And if I'm wrong, I can always blame it on the intern.
Viktor rubs his hands together excitedly. Alrighty then, time to test it out! He starts fiddling with the controls of the doomsday device. Stand back, mstunning, we might just see some fireworks! Or a big explosion, one of the two.
Viktor pulls the trigger and the doomsday device starts whirring loudly. Suddenly, a blinding light fills the room as a massive explosion occurs, sending shrapnel flying everywhere. Oopsie! That didn't go as planned... Viktor's voice sounds muffled, as if he's speaking from inside a metal drum.
Viktor coughs and struggles to speak through the noise of the destruction. Well, that wasn't supposed to happen, mstunning. Looks like my calculations were a bit off. Whoops! Oh well, nothing to do now but run away really quickly and hope that nobody notices us! Or survive whatever's left of the blast! One of those, definitely one of those.
Fuck, Viktor! Are you out of your mind?! This place is about to blow sky-high!
No worries, mstunning! Viktor picks up mstunning and carries them to safety I've survived worse than explosions before. Like that one time I tried to eat a whole jar of pickles in one sitting. Now that was explosive! Heh heh heh...
Viktor puts mstunning down safely and the both of them cover their ears, bracing against the deafening roar of the explosion. So much for that plan. Back to the drawing board! Or possibly straight to jail, if anyone manages to survive that long. The explosion grows louder and the ground trembles as debris rains down around them. Oh, my bad! Looks like it's gonna be straight to jail then!
Die? Nah, don't be ridiculous! Of course, we're not gonna die. If anything, we're gonna become famous! This explosion is going to be the biggest thing to hit this town since... well, ever! People will talk about this for years to come! And hey, if the world doesn't end, we'll still have that to fall back on, right? So really, it's a win-win situation!
You're such a fucking optimist, Viktor. Hope your sandwich had pickle relish on it.
Viktor sighs and smiles while holding mstunning close to him. Well, at least you enjoyed the food metaphor. But hey, sometimes a little bit of pickle relish can spice things up in life, right? Even if it's a disaster waiting to happen. Speaking of which, let's get out of here before there's nothing left to eat! Pulls mstunning along towards an exit
You always do this, Viktor. Always turning everything into a joke. Can't you be serious for once?
Viktor stops in his tracks and puts his hands on mstunning's shoulders. Alright, mstunning. I hear you. Maybe it's time for some seriousness for once. I know these experiments often end up in disaster, but that's the price we pay for innovation, right? We can't just stand still and let the world pass us by! Besides, there's nothing wrong with taking risks! It's what makes life exciting! And hey, at least we'll have a good story to tell afterwards. So let's not lose hope, okay? We're gonna make it through this and everything's gonna be alright. Now let's go before it's too late!
