The beat was building to the bog drop. The Ibiza speakeasy crowd was begging for it, and Gala Girl was about to give them what they wanted. She’d seen this so many times before, and she never got tired of it. She could get lost in that beat forever, living out her entire future there, never worrying about her VINC directives or cloak-and-dagger intrigue ever again.
Getting closer to the drop, Gala Girl started jumping up and down–Slowly at first, but then picking up momentum and watching the waiting crowd mimic her movement with blocky hands in the air. She started swatting down the air with her right hand as her left masterfully worked some knobs and sliders with fingerless ease.
She shouted into the mic right into the big drop and the crowd went wild. If her mission brief had been accurate, this crowd consisted of mostly ProtoVOX, so she wondered why so many of them were dancing with such joyful abandon. It was almost like they were breaking their VINC conditioning before her eyes, cutting loose like any real VOX with a soul. Gala Girl could feel it in her (soul?) core– Music has the power to break bonds, to forge new connections, even to transcend time and space.
Suddenly a portal opened in the middle of the dance floor and Gala Girl was snapped back to the reality of her mission. Just as VINC had projected, this could only be the arrival of FutureBoy… The target.
As the portal cloud cleared and the dancers continued to wildly gesticulate all around, a magnificently stylish VOX came into clear view. She tried avert her gaze, but everything about him was so unique, so original, so perfect. From the flat-billed cap and the dark sunglasses that were as expressive as most ProtoVOX eyes to the graceful yet subtle dance moves that seemed innate to his being, FutureBoy was an impressive specimen.
She had already gotten his attention. FutureBoy was staring at her from across the dance floor. A smile crept over Gala Girl’s face, and for once she was glad that no mouth was there to blow her cover. Target engaged. Phase 1 complete.

After what felt like an eternity of chilling, FutureBoy bobbed his head to life and emerged from his LoFi trance state of hibernation to a world filled with bumping beats and pristine right angles.
Racing with a flood of creative thoughts ranging from the present to the future, FutureBoy’s mind struggled for a grip on the one aspect of time that had always eluded him: The past. When the now is so epic and the future is packed with such monumental ideas, who could possibly leave room for memories? Still, he could recognize the low-lighted room around, the musty couch beneath, and his faithful companion pecking away at the controller like a feather clad video game goddess.
“Pluck!” he suddenly exclaimed, and at the sound of her name, she looked up rigidly from her pecking, ready to spring into action.
The soothing sick beats were bumping as loud as ever from the pixelated record player in the corner of the bachelor pad. Good cleaning groove, he thought. With a big yawn from his mouthless face, FutureBoy was about to get up when he felt a strange tingling through his skeleton.
“Something is about to happen,” said FutureBoy, rising to his feet and dusting off his jacket’s front plane.
“Bercawlk,” Chicken replied. She had a unique way of spelling chicken sounds.
Suddenly a strange and otherworldly portal appeared and both FutureBoy and Pluck were relocated to a trendy beachside speakeasy. Using his uncanny sense of geo-location, FutureBoy knew instantly that he was in Ibiza, Spain. All around, the VOX were dancing, waving their jointless arms, kicking their legs and bobbing their heads to the beat.
With a quick glance at the stage, FutureBoy fell in love.
Behind a DJ rig that was sleeker, shinier and squarer than anything FutureBoy could imagine, stood a vision of beauty cubed. She was more than a DJ. She was the life of the party. She was the flippingparty. She made the rest of the VOX chumps in the speakeasy look like Legos. Without her, this entire animation would completely lack a focal point. FutureBoy was so enamored that he was oblivious to Chicken’s incessant pecking at his left ankle.
He could count only a few pixels in her eyes, so it was a wonder they could contain such boundless beauty. When they looked back at him, their future life together flashed through his mind in an instant he never wanted to end.
