On Special: Lasagne Vagabonde

The Emotive Response System has long acknowledged the inevitability of banal life scripts to dictate the foolsome footfalls of the feckless. (Whether this is a result of long-term sociological manipulation by the Powers That Be, or its opposite — their own Social Darwinist laissez-faire reticence — will be forever moot.)
  Folks who cannot ascend any further than Maslow’s Ground Floor are everywhere from Skid Row to Town Square. Indeed, it’s all a state of mind, though the topological space and dimension of origin may vary.
  Resource scarcity amplifies perceived urgencies and proper etiquette often takes a back seat to basic heterotrophic pursuits in an ironic form of Refined Gusto. Mirrored archetypes in alternate dementia illustrate sociological knot invariants (extended im-pasta-bilities, if you will) that appear to be complex algebraic tangles when viewed from home dimensions.
  In the end, tautological dicta win out the day: Help, or don’t help; the quantum endpoint is the same. A never-ending scroll actualising iterations of ambient-isotopic reruns (imagine Champagne Charley on a treadmill reliving his intestinal insurgencies), all washed down with surrogate libations like warm buttermilk or watery marinara.
  Not to be discouraged by Calvinist mellow-harshening, the Emotive Response System has introduced Lasagne Vagabonde to said feckless masses via the Coney Pungeonary to mitigate this dichotomous gestalt.
  Enjoy a delicious dish of Hand Pasta. Or don’t. It doesn’t matter.

Lasagne Vagabonde

The gut rumbles and the hot asphalt burns the calloused soles of a man at the center of the universe on Town Square. Opportunity rings the proverbial dinner bell and the starving id nods and salivates with the triumph of a barnyard appetite: It’s Feeding Time!
  One might quibble about the etiquette involved with basic primal instincts, but when filling the gullet is the first order of survival, the encumbrance of using eating utencils is a mere afterthought. Eating pasta with one’s bare hands is simply a sign of refined gusto, and in the haste of hunger, wolfing down whatever is in front of you is Job One. Damn any reflux down the road or a later urge to regurge — carb-load it all with a shovel if you have to.
  Even if the intake threshold is surpassed with soured ricotta and stale marinara running down your stubbled chin, the calories indeed count.
  Now, the only beverage one needs to wash down this kingly feast under the scorching sun is a nice big carton of buttermilk.

The Hazards of Quantum Venn Overlaps — From Bad Vibes to Historiometric Cataclysms

Originally thought to be a natural phenomenon, imbricating branes known as Quantum Venn Overlaps (Oneirophrenic Conflicts) pose an array of risks to Dimensional Integrity. The immediate hazards of QVO’s to field agents complicate known time displacement side effects. The long-reaching effects are much more dire.
  Devotees of Hasslein’s ‘Infinite Regression’ thesis maintain that dimensional overlaps spawn new Dementia multifurcating from original time-space primes, a theory similar to Virgil’s multi-lane ‘Time Highway’ postulation.
  Actualised scenarios have confirmed that intentional inter-dimensional tampering has created QVO’s, thereby generating ‘Grandpa Paradoxes,’ unexplained anomalies, and temporal dead ends that affect timelines across multiple Dementia.
  In the current timeline (relative to D.III Earth), there are two known Trans-Dimensional Interlopers:
  • Infinata of Dementia V, a cunning despot power-brokering with the Xarnaq Praetorium — a move the United Planets opposes with tart criticism.
  • The Entities of Barutansei, who invaded Dementia VIII sometime in the mid-20th century. This has had an acute effect on the D.VIII timeline of Earth; in particular, their underhanded shenanigans in creating the Pacific Puppet Hemisphere, which soon was superseded by the Sino-Japanese Co-Prosperity Sphere (SIJACOPS).
  The SIJACOPS situation is notably precarious, as the fractalisation of orthogonal timeframes has rippled through other Dementia, creating resonance tessellations that override HistoryFeeds with episodes of dimensional incongruence. In other words, it screws up the history books for just about everyone.
  The rise of the hegemon SIJACOPS has been bad enough for Eighth Dementia Earth, but projections of said resonance (foreseen by ChanceCompass™ analysts) show a SIJACOPS extancy as far ahead as year 2026 on the Earth of both Dementia III and VIII. Fragility Cultivation, Cogency Struggles, and other psychic detrusions are spilling over (‘brane drain’) to our very own time and space. Are there screwups happening here and in parallel else-realms we know of not?
  United Planets bureaucrats have long been outspoken about the issue, repeatedly mobilising Orville’s Project: HORLOGE chrononauts to rectify temporal obtrusions. But it seems Rules of Causality are only enforced in Dementia III, and barely at that.
  What to do, and when to do it?

Unexplained Anomalies of Dementia III

i) Come evening during the Days of Indian Maize, Gass-Boy and Ian roam incognito the Nottingham Weg. A crack vocalisation turns the duo’s heads to gasp at the sight of a hairy dude with a guitar strapped to his back. The figure bounded through Weasel’s yard into the dark wood up to Mystery Hill.

iii) After an evening sesh at The Häag, Stoddard makes an Uchū Gomi jaunt to Nrbablit Haus via The 285. En route, a black Lincoln approaches from behind to tailgate proximity. Its main beam headlamps filled the rear-view mirror with a white harshness. Was that shudder actually bumper contact?

Explicatio: Even in Dementia III, aberrational events can usually be explained away as either bulldada, Ansark’ut’yun Matrits’ayum (Matrix Glitches), or the black ops of some unknown entity. Freaky episodes that are divergent from standard D.III Inexplicables are often Quantum Venn Overlaps or Causal Rule Offenders, and dedicated contingency teams are at the ready to deal with these issues remotely or up close and personal.

Nota bene: Anomalistic instances as such are disparate, and any conjunctional conclusions may be disregarded as subjective validation.
