《A World in Chaos》Chapter 16: Lisa Bowell & Tom Ray
Advertisement
I miss Jude. I miss Jude. I miss Jude. I miss Jude!!!!
‘Calm down Mei 1. We can go see him after class is over. You already found the hospital he’s staying at, right?”
Of course. Who the hell do you think I am!! Ahhh, I miss him!!! I think I’ve become addicted to Jude. I was fine just seeing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but I don’t think that’s possible anymore. After holding him, touching him, and sniffing him, I can’t resist anymore.
‘You better hold yourself back Mei 1, I don’t want to go to jail because of you, and aren’t you supposed to be taking notes right now.’
It’s fine, Mei 2’s in charge of the body right now. She should be taking notes, or not.
‘Yeah, that doesn’t look like notes to me.’
‘If we add a slit onto the side then it’ll make it breathable and It’ll also add a hint of sexiness. Hehehe, I should add a hoodie with cat ears on it. No one would ever suspect that the ears are actually used to increase hearing, it's ingenious. A cool mask is also necessary to protect the face.’
(Mei 2 was doodling on our notebook. She was drawing some kind of clothing.)
Wait a minute, Mei 2 you’re supposed to be taking notes. Stop doodling and take notes for this class.
‘Why do I need to take notes? You already memorize everything, don’t you?’
You’re not wrong but I still want notes so I can study. Finals are next week you know. I don’t want my grades to drop.
‘Why do we even need to study still? Don’t you realize that something has been happening to this world? The videos of monsters appearing and the monster we met within the prison. Isn’t that oddly coincidental?’
I understand but what if it was just a rare occasion, what then? We still need to pursue a career in the future and we need an education if we want to do that. We can’t be spending all of our time worrying about non-existing monsters.
‘Why don’t you take over the body then!? I’ll stay in my room and prepare for the future.’
(Mei 2 relinquishes control to me but the class was over already.)
Haah, she’s been like this ever since then. What am I going to do with her?
‘Why don’t you just leave her be? If she wants to prepare for the apocalypse then she can prepare for it.’
But what about her future. If she’s the one that’s left at the end of it all then she won’t have an education. Without an education, she can’t get a good job to survive in this world.
(This was a serious problem that neither Mei 2 or Mei 3 were thinking about. The original Mei has disappeared so there’ll come a day when only one of us is left. I want to prepare the two of them for the possibility of this happening but maybe I’ve been spoiling them too much. I was always known as the smart one so I took care of everything that dealt with thinking. I should have them do some of the work sometimes.)
‘Yeah, I understand what you are trying to do for us but I’m sure Mei 2 is just looking out for us in her own way. Ever since Tod died she’s been trying to think of ways so we can survive if we ever encounter monsters again. She’s afraid that we’re going to die or others are going to die because of her.’

I guess I will just let her be for now but don’t forget this applies to you too. I’m going to give you a thorough educating.
‘Ahahaha, I'm going to take a nap. Looks like Professor Jane wants something.’
Wait, don’t try and run away.
‘Bye bye.’
(Both of them went back and hid within the White Room. Mei 3 was right, Professor Jane was walking towards me. Her brown hair was as curly as ever and she was still wearing her comical glasses.)
“Hello Professor Jane, how has your research been going?”
“We’ve been in a rut for a while. Are you sure you don’t want to help us with our research? We’ll pay you five times more than what we paid last summer.”
“I’m sorry, please give me more time to think about it.”
(Professor Jane was insistent on hiring me because I accidentally helped her and her husband’s research improve last year. It was last year during the summer that I met Professor Jane and her husband, Professor Liam. I was walking around campus looking at the various flyers that were posted all over campus because I needed to make some money. The one that caught my eye was Professor Jane’s flyer. The only work I had to do was reorganize files, transport and deliver documents, and if I had the skill, check on the various formulas and equations. The pay was pretty decent so I took the job.)
(Professor Jane and her husband were researching about the reanimation of dead cells. The main application of their research was for people who got into accidents where their hand or fingers was cut off. When this happens there is a time duration where the body parts could still be attached back together but what about those who can’t. After a certain period of time, the cells will die and it is no longer viable to reattach. The two’s research is to reanimate these dead cells for even another few hours so they can reattach these limbs. Initially, this topic sparked interest from the government and funds flowed in, but after many years of no breakthroughs the research was slowly losing all of its funds. The only people who are willing to research this topic was Professor Jane and Professor Liam, the head researchers.)
(In the end, they even had to ask regular college students to help with there work. I didn’t mind the work since it was relatively simple. One day I was looking through the formulas just for fun and realized that an inefficient formula was being used. I told the two researchers about it and they were shocked at my discovery. My formula improved the progress of their work by at least 5 years. Before my input, the cells would only come alive for a few seconds but after implementing my new formula, it would last 30 minutes.)
(It’s been a year since then and Professor Jane has constantly tried to convince me to join them in their research but I discovered something better to research. I wanted to research every single little thing about Jude. I wanted to learn where he lived, his birthday, his blood type, his preference in woman, his love life, his past, his plans for the future, his family life, how much he masturbates, how big his penis is, and what’s he hiding under his jackets and sweaters. I’ve been watching him for over an entire year and hadn’t gotten closer to him at all because Mei 2 and Mei 3 were holding me back. Now they can’t hold me back anymore. He’s constantly been on my mind ever since he saved me from prison. I’m going to the hospital to visit him and I will get him to take me to his place. I even brought cameras to set up in his house so I can see his every action.)

“Alright then, contact me if you want to work with us again and remember to study for your finals.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
(Professor Jane left the class and I was prepared to leave but someone hugged me from behind.)
“Hey, Mako, Professor Jane trying to get you again.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m starting to think she has a thing for you. She’s after these voluptuous boobs and these thick juicy thighs.”
“Stop it, Lisa. It isn’t like that.”
(This girl with a long pixie cut hair was my friend, Lisa Bowell. Since the beginning of my freshman year, the two of us always had a least one class together and we became friends. Besides me, she was also friends with Mei 2 and Mei 3. Mei 2 and Lisa shared similar hobbies like anime and robots so they also became friends. Since Lisa’s boyfriend, Tom, was a robotic engineer the two of them would watch videos of his robots together. Mei 3 and Lisa had met at the gym while she was practicing her martial arts and since Lisa was an MMA fighter, they regularly sparred with each other. If they weren’t sparring then they would spot one another during their workouts. They also became friends this way. All in all, Lisa is the only person that has ever been friends with all three of us.)
“My boyfriend especially loves girls with body types like yours.”
“How’s Tom been? It’s been a year since I met him.”
“Same as always, still trying to build a giant robot in Japon. Recently he was able to create a human-sized robot. It was able to run and jump, and it even punched through a concrete wall.”
‘That’s so cool!!!’
(Mei 2 replied even faster than I could even think. She loves things like this.)
Do you want to take over Mei 2?
‘Yeah!!!’
“Do you have a video, Lisa!”
“Excited now aren’t you. Let’s get out of here first, the other class is going to start.”
(Students from the next class were already starting to fill the seats. We were done for the day so we had time to hang out with Lisa. The two of them found a bench and Lisa took out her phone.)
“See how it runs, it’s a way better improvement than last year. It couldn’t even run last year.”
“Yeah, is it jumping down. Oh no, it's going to break.”
(The robot was on the second floor of the building and it jumped off the railing.)
“Hehe, are you surprised. Even though it jumped off of the second floor it still landed on its two feet.”
“Amazing!!”
“That isn’t even the amazing part, look. It’s about to punch a hole in this concrete block.”
(The robot stood in front a pile of concrete blocks. It punched with its right hand and shattered the blocks.)
“Amazing!! Amazing!!”
“Hehe, Tom’s amazing isn’t he?”
(Lisa’s non-existent chest was puffed out as she bragged about her boyfriend, Tom Ray.)
(The two of them were squealing over the robot. I can’t bring myself to have the same amount of excitement over robots like them. All I see is a clunky humanoid piece of metal that can barely run and jump. I would rather be watching videos of Jude sleeping than robots but it's fine. Mei 2 looks like she’s enjoying her time with Lisa. She hasn’t been feeling well so I’m glad she can laugh and smile with Lisa.)
“Lisa, can I ask you a favor.”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
(I wonder what Mei 2 wants to ask from Lisa.)
“Do you think you can ask Tom to create an armored bodysuit for me?”
“An armored bodysuit? Like one to use to fight crime? Are you trying to become a superhero?”
(What is this girl asking? Why are you asking our friends to create a suit for yourself?)
Stop it, Mei 2! Don’t waste Tom or Lisa’s time with your selfish request.
‘I’m not being selfish!! I don’t want to feel weak anymore! I don’t want to watch as a friend dies in front of me!! I don’t want you or Mei 3 to die either!!’
(She screamed at me and even protested my demands. I was used to Mei 3 bluntly rejecting my ideas but not Mei 2. This was a shocking change in her but not an unwanted one. She’s starting to grow as a person.)
(What can I say? My little sister wants to protect her friends and her big sisters. I really am too soft on my little sisters.)
Ahhhh, go ahead!! My little sisters are such troublemakers, just do what you feel is the best. If you make a mistake then I’ll just fix it. Are you happy now!?
‘Thank you, Mei 1.’
“That sounds cool!!! Count me in Mako. We can go around beating up bad guys. I’ll have a red and black suit while you can have a…”
“I wanted a red and black suit…”
“Hahaha, we can’t have heroes with the same colors. I guess I’ll change my colors.”
“No, it's fine. I’ll change my colors.”
‘Mei 1, Mei 2, what colors do you guys want? I’m choosing red.’
‘I want white. It’s the color of Justice.’
(Mei 3 quickly answered. I guess she was still listening in on our conversations.)
I want gray. Since both of you chose colors that would easily stand out, I have to choose a darker color. If we are going to be fighting monsters then we don’t want to stand out too much.
‘Sorry, Mei 1.’
It’s fine, it’s the job of the big sister to ground her childish little sisters to reality.
“I want a suit that’s red, white, and gray.”
“Ooo, nice colors. Just thinking about it makes me excited. I’ll call Tom and ask him for the suits right now.”
“Isn’t it 2 a.m. in Japon right now? Aren’t we going to bother him while he’s sleeping.”
“It’s fine, he should still be awake at this time. And he can’t refuse my calls anyways. Hahaha.”
(Lisa’s phone continues to ring and it was immediately picked up. I’m also curious why she says he can’t refuse her calls.)
“Hello?”
“Facetime.”
(Lisa hung up and stared at her phone.)
“Why did you hang up?”
(Lisa’s phone rings and this time it was a request to facetime. It was probably from Tom.)
“I missed you onii-chan!!”
(Lisa talked in a higher pitch than normal, and onii-chan? I remember hearing that phrase from one of Mei 2’s anime she watches. If I remember correctly, it means along the lines of Big Brother.)
“So you guys are like that. I see.”
(I wonder what Mei 2 understands. She’s sitting there nodding her head up and down like she understands everything. I bet she’s just trying to show off.)
“Stop messing around Lisa.”
“Ehhh, didn’t you say you like that kind of play. I’m hurt onii-chan! You don’t love me anymore, are you cheating on me with another little sister.”
(Lisa was playing around and acting all hurt. She was even wiping the fake tears from her eyes. It seems that she’s used to this sort of play.)
“You know I wouldn’t do that to you. I love you, Lisa.”
“Hehe, I know. I love you too Rommy”
“I love you too Boa.”
(I guess this is what an actual couple is. They joke around with one another and they even have cute nicknames for each other. I hope I can reach that level one of these days.)
(Mei 2 was just sitting there awkwardly as the two of them flirted.)
‘God damn normies. Flirting in broad daylight. You should just go explode!!’
(I guess she was just angry at them.)
“So what did you want Lisa?”
“Oh, you remember Mako, right? That girl I introduced to you last year.”
“Um, sorry Lisa, it doesn’t ring a bell. I’ve been meeting with so many people lately so it’s all just a blur.”
“That girl that has the Boing Boing aura around her. Look she’s right here.”
(Lisa grabs Mei 2’s shoulder and brings her in view of the camera.)
“Oh, I remember now. Nice to meet you, Mako.”
“Nice to meet you, Tom.”
“So yeah, she has a request for you.”
“Can I bother you to make an armored bodysuit for me?”
“An armored bodysuit? Interesting, what are you going to use it for?”
“Fighting bad guys.”
(Lisa interrupted Mei 2 before she could speak.)
“Actually, I was thinking of fighting monsters.”
(Mei 2 scratched her cheek. If it was anyone else than they would have just thought that Mei 2 was crazy.)
“I see so you’ve realized it too.”
(It seemed like Tom knew something about monsters.)
“What? What are you guys talking about?”
(Lisa was looking at the phone then at Mei 2 in confusion.)
“Boa.”
“Yes, Rommy?”
“I want you to stay inside at night.”
“Why?”
“Have you seen those videos of monsters lately?”
“Yeah, what about them. You’re not going to say that they are real are you?”
“Exactly, that’s my smart Boa. These videos of monsters are real. I don’t know how much of these videos are real but I do know that the one about Gadzilla is real.”
“It’s real!!”
“It’s real!!”
It’s real!!?
(All three of us had the exact same reaction. It’s unbelievable that Gadzilla was real. Although it wasn’t the same size as the one from the movies, it was still about 15 meters tall.)
“Yeah, it’s definitely real. A personal friend of mine was there when it emerged from the ocean. He even recorded footage of it.”
“Can I see it, Rommy!”
“No, it isn’t my video so I can’t show it to you.”
“Ok.”
(Lisa replied in dejection. Her shoulders were dramatically slumped down and she occasionally glanced back towards the phone. Tom decides to ignore her antics.)
“So that’s the gist of it. This means that some of those videos are real and that monsters are appearing around the world. I want you to stay safe Boa.”
“Ok, Rommy. I won't go outside at night. Oh right, I also want an armored bodysuit.”
“Got it. Can the two spin around in front of the camera.”
“Ok, I’ll go first. Mako just point the camera at me and I’ll spin.”
“Ok.”
(Lisa begins to slowly spin in front of the camera. I could hear Tom writing something down.)
“You’ve gotten fatter haven’t you, Lisa?”
“Don’t say that Tom! It’s because you’re not here to exercise with me at night.”
‘Good god, are they going to flirt all day long. I want to rip my ears off.’
I think it’s cute. They're just trying to show their affection for one another.
‘I know but it makes me a little bit jealous.’
I feel the same way. That’s why I suggest we go after Jude.
‘Didn’t we decide that we’ll only go after a man all three of us approves. I know you like Jude but I’m not sure about Mei 3. I don’t particularly like him or hate him, but I’m grateful that he helped us escape from the prison though.’
Yeah, I just need to convince you two then we can act all lovey-dovey with Jude.
“Ok, it’s your turn, Mako. Don’t be nervous it’s just Tom recording your measurements. He does this when he wants me to cosplay.”
“Ok.”
(The sound of his pencil writing on paper was heard again.)
“Ok, I got all of your measurements. Do you have any preferences?”
“I want it to look cool and strong. Make it black and red.”
“Ok, what about you Mako.”
“Can you make anime-like? I want it to be gray, white, and red.”
“Ok, I’ll probably be done with these suits in a month or so. You can always contact me through Lisa if you want to add more features to your suit.”
“Thank you, Tom”
“Thanks, Rommy. See you later. I love you.”
“Yeah, I love you too Boa.”
