Ramaat: Tuesday Fandom Time

badassprodigyIt had been five years since Barry left Fandom. Well... at least five years for Fandom. He at first thought he'd be content just staying on the island where he'd be free to pursue his experiments to his heart's content. But once his friends were gone it just wasn't the same.
And then after one sleepless night of reading and reading and reading he ran across a quote by of all people: A self help guru. The quote said: "All of the great geniuses of the world were inspired and driven by their desire to enrich the lives of others."
And that's when Barry realized he needed to leave Fandom.
He packed up most of his warehouse into one of the many storage facilities off-island and began his trek. Where exactly? Well one place was a kingdom where his ex-girlfriend lived. He spent some time there designing aqueducts and began improving the technology there until a certain snowman started making theories about advancing technology leading everyone to their doom. Seriously. Fuck that.
He then left for space where he spent time learning and teaching other species and providing technological aid for worlds devastated by war and natural disasters. He spent time in another world where science had created monsters, humans mutated beyond what they should ever be.
And then he found his way to a dimension he swore he'd never return to. Where the backwards world of Ramaat existed, led by a manipulative telepathic gorilla known as Bezeruul.
No. Really.
Finding a way to put aside his differences with the jerk gorilla, Barry set to work building an infrastructure that would help bring about agriculture and technology advances that worked against the dimensional features of what people there called "The Drain."
It's also here that Bezeruul taught Barry meditation. Granted, Barry could have found some sort guru on Earth someplace but only Bezeruul had the patience to teach Barry.
"God fucking damn it! Will someone please kill that fucking cheese dick of a fly?!"
Lots of lots of patience.
You need to look past the distractions of the world if you wish to-
Barry opened his eyes and gave Bezeruul a long withering look. "Yeah, I fucking know. Okay? Look, that time it lasted at least five fucking minutes. That's like a fucking eternity for me," Barry said pulling himself out of the lotus position. "Anyway, I think I got the fucking concept. I can handle it on my own from here."
Bezeruul nodded slowly looking at Barry with a curious look. You are leaving.
Barry groaned and rolled his eyes. "What the fuck did I say about reading my mind?" he snapped.
One does not need to read your mind to know that you are ready to move on.
"Yeah, but you fucking read it anyway, didn't you?" Barry shot back as he pulled himself off the ground. "But yeah, I've done all I can do to get those idiots out there enough of an advance in technology and shit to get them out of the fucking bronze age. Your people are at peace with the Tolan. I've taught them the most I can about modern medicine. It's time I moved on."
Even though you've been gone so long? What compels you to return?
"I've only been gone five years back home," Barry said shaking his head. "Which isn't that long for them."
But it's been ten years for you living here.
"Like I said," Barry replied. "It's time I move on instead of fucking around in a dimension where time moves differently."
But why?
Barry groaned. "You're going to fucking make me say it, aren't you?"
Indeed.
"Because I fucking miss home! All right?" Barry said throwing his hands in the air in exasperation. "I miss my friends. I've done all I can for other places. I think now I just need to go back and return the favor for fucking others. Okay? Is that enough exposition you fucking mind reading cumwad?"
The gorilla let out a small chuckle.
"Let me fucking guess. By making it say it out loud I have to live up to my thoughts and actually fucking do it. God, you're a fucking pain in my ass."
Bezeruul reached out and put his giant paw on Barry's shoulder. I've grown to know you very well, Barry Ween. Enough to know that your motivations are good even if you pretend to act otherwise. You have brought the Ramaat and the Tolan together to live in peace. You have given us the gift of technology and science that will advance our culture for eons to come. You will be missed, Barry Ween. Once more, I am in your debt.
Barry, for once, actually was emotionally moved by Bezeruul's thoughts and words. For a moment. "Yeah. Well. Don't let them fuck it up. Or I'll have to come back and kick your ass. Later, jerk."
He gave Bezeruul a final pat on his chest and turned away, heading for the portal that would take him home.
