[ @chancestander​​​ sent a transmission : Rex had just finished cutting some celery sticks and carrots, offering them on the side as a snack. He took a seat, and he was rather relaxed for a change.
"I've lived on Earth for as long as I can remember. I've seen other planets, but all I have of my home planet are distant memories and some crystals-- data rods on the culture or something I guess. When did you get here though?" ]
     IT CAN get terribly lonely living on earth.
     THE IDEA is a bit of a paradox, given 683 is never really truly alone -- privacy is a rare commodity when you sleep on the sofa in the living room and spend your waking hours tucked away in crowds. But a terrible, hollow sort of loneliness persists in the pit of his stomach, swallowing him whole when he isn’t consumed by his fleeting obsessions and the bevy of daily distractions he uses to keep said loneliness at bay. 
     THERE’S MUSIC -- there’s Sid and Priscilla -- there’s Clark, when he isn’t busy. There’s new things to buy and new people to see and movies and books and posters and trinkets. Sometimes he thinks he could irradiate away every bad feeling he’s ever had if he just turned up the volume and hid his head under a pillow for long enough. 
     ❝ ONE WHOLE year. ❞ His voice edges towards mousey, quiet and sullen as he breaks a carrot stick between his fingers and listlessly taps them together. It’s a length of time both enormous and insignificant, a mere fraction of his whole life -- what scares him more is that he knows this year will soon be two, and then three, and then twenty, and then he’ll have been away from the place he was born longer than he’d have been on it. ❝ You’re lucky, you know, ❞ he says, his voice pinched and bitter, ❝ that you don’t have to remember anything about what happened before. Then you won’t think about it so much. Remembering things can still make you feel ... sick, maybe, ❞ 683 mumbles, unable to neatly wrap up his thoughts when thinking in a mother tongue that has no word for homesick.

♡ ZENITHSPAN : 
“You might just be onto something there… You put the galaxy in galaxy brain, 683.”
Clark actually made something of an impressive sum from his talk show. The studio begrudgingly had to: His show received so many hatewatching viewers ratings were skyrocketing. So he could afford to drop that much on their gaming. Maybe even slightly more if he were pushed to it. As Clark mentally noted the nonsense numbers 683 offered, he paused to go into the popular shopping StuffShack™ center, making a beeline for the electronics section to start buying a bunch of cards for NewsiePets and Field of Fightmakery and the like. They had to start expanding their efforts into other games. They would be gamer royalty.
“And the cheez poofz…” said Clark, esoterically, taking a couple of large bags– as well as some veggie chips for 683. “We will need strength to play after our lengthy work days..”
     ❝ AW, YOU’RE so sweet the ants are gonna carry you away !! ❞ 683 says through a bashful titter of giggles, harmlessly smacking Clark in the arm as they overturn the box of organ-corroding energy shots into their shopping basket. It’s far more practical Gamer Fuel™ than just plain old tap water, and they’re staying up all night to watch Clark press buttons. ❝ They’ll tuck you in their ant-tunnels, ❞ 683 explains, idly flipping through the plastic loot Clark’s accumulated, ❝ and they’ll keep you there forever. They’ll lay eggs on you, maybe, but the baby ants won’t hurt you, they’ll just give you kisses. But it’ll be really sad because I’ll never see you again. Hmm, ❞ they muse, examining a NewsiePets card with burgeoning interest ❝ maybe instead of the fake pets on the computer, I should buy an ant farm ... not to put you in. Just for fun, ‘cause I dig ants, y’know, almost as much as I dig you. ❞
     CARD DISCARDED, they whistle to themselves, elbows on the countertop as they so graciously allow Clark to foot the bill. After all, Clark is the big man with the big career, and 683 is -- eternally -- unemployed. ❝ Thank you for buying me all this stuff ! ❞ they cheer, crushing him in a hug. ❝ Should we keep going around and buying real stuff ? Or go back to buying stuff on our phones ? ❞

Im all for OCs with golden hearts or OCs who are super awesome and great at stuff but we need to hype up OCs that just suck and are awful petty losers. More shitty OCs. More OCs that are bad at everything and are lame and selfish and wrong and dont learn their lesson

♡ ZENITHSPAN : 
“Yeah, sure go ahead. You have the magic touch or something.”
Clark trusted 683′s luck because they seemed to have a way with all those mobile game rollers. That totally transferred to desktop game rollers, right? At least it did to Clark’s sleep-addled brain, overwhelmed by losses he couldn’t possibly hope to recount because of his day job’s demands. 
Tumblr media
“Oh GODDAMNIT!” swore Clark, looking at the subpar results. But instead of getting any angrier at the game, he just proceeded to fish for his wallet all too forgivingly. “Okay. Don’t panic: We can just INCREASE our mathematical odds by purchasing more. And I’ll get you some more for your games so you feel better.”
Clark also proceeded to put on a tophat and tailed dinner jacket. He even went as far as to replace his glasses with double monocles, as he retrieved an ivory cane that also held his phone (for quick access, to purchase himself and 683 some more goodies).
“Let’s hit the town. Maybe some fresh air and sunshine will help… our rolls that is.”
     ❝ RIGHT -- YES. That’s very logical, ❞ 683 commends. 683 sympathizes with his quest: they, too, dream of owning every Candy Crush unlockable, and they, too, know the true meaning of hard work and dedication. Especially when Clark does the hard work so 683 can concentrate on the dedication.
     CLARK’S GOT an awfully deep wallet, because when 683 opens theirs, only spiders come out ( they leave them cute little cobwebs ). Once the wardrobe change is out of the way and 683 finds an endangered-animal-fur-coat just lying around, as usual, they sniffle to themselves miserably, plodding along after their ritzy better half. The sun shines on their dour little face. They hate wanting things they can’t have. 
     ❝ MAYBE WE’RE going about this all wrong. Like, we’re pressing the button just fine, because that’s all you do -- you press the button, y’know -- but maybe it’s when we press the button that’s wrong. You know what ? I read on the gaming board on four-and-a-half chan that you have to roll at double digit times: 1:22, 4:33, 5:77 -- nevermind, 5:77 isn’t a real time -- to get the good stuff. The computer rewards punctuality, ❞  683 informs him, smacking their hands together loudly, ❝ and all those snotty players with all their fancy items are lying when they say it’s really all just ar-en-gee randomness. Total drags ! Can you believe that ? ❞ 683 scoffs with disgust, ❝ that someone would just write a lie on the internet ? Where we can all read it and know they lied !! ❞

I don’t have an actual promo graphic yet, so I’m throwing this out in lieu of one. It’s me Jonnie! again, giving this cowpoke another shot! If you have love in your heart for heroes of the west then consider inviting Lucky Luke in amongst them. The character’s got 75 years of history and I’ve got plenty of love for him!

♡ ZENITHSPAN : 
Tumblr media
“–I used to think the whole idea of paying extra to score big in online games was a scam. But then it occurred to me: I spend so much more time at work. So by using the prodigious earnings I accrue from all that work, I can purchase gold-premium accounts for the both of us and then we don’t have to spend so much time level grinding and practicing in-game: We can just get right to the action!”
In reality, Clark was just trying to justify the fact he not only purchased himself and 683 a very unfair advantage in those premium status accounts, but was also pretty much covering the fact he’d succumbed to lootboxes and managed to rope them into it too.
“Now let’s roll and see if we got some good stuff this time.”
Clark hit the buttons on his keyboard anxiously.
     683 CONSIDERS themself somewhat immune to addiction; it’s a human affliction, really, so oversaturated with convenience in their day to day life that they need some sort of instant fix of satisfaction when their smartphones and advertisements and constant streams of media aren’t enough to lull them into the comfortable numbness of easy gratification. 683 can stop smoking cigarettes and going on social media apps and playing gatcha games whenever they want. They swear.
Tumblr media
     ❝ LET ME press the rolling thing ! ❞ they exclaim, uselessly mashing the enter button a few times after Clark’s already pressed it. They clench their teeth and wait in baited breath, groaning in misery and practically knocking the laptop out of Clark’s hands when they uselessly flop over onto him. ❝ This isn’t fair ! With only fifty boxes left, and four items per box, and a 1% chance of an ultra rare item ... we’re probably only going to get two. And that’s -- that’s just ! ❞ Indescribable, apparently, because they seem to be at a loss from words. Their hand shoots out and then smash the enter button again, holding their breath as it yields a big shitload of utter garbage.
