"My dear muse, once I finally figure out the equation to break free of the force keeping me inside this town, I'll finally be able to rule this entire dimension! Though, I haven't seen much of the U.S in years. Perhaps we'll go to New York City for some sightseeing, maybe see the Twin Towers?" said Stanford Gleeful, to an exhausted, chained up Will.
"Don't fucking call me your muse anymore, I- wait a minute, the Twin Towers? They're- Oh wait....you weren't there for that." remarked Will, the realization dawning on him that the scientist had not witnessed the 2001 September 11th attacks.
"...What do you mean?" asked Stanford, confusion on his face.
"Well...I don't know how to tell you this, but uh- the Twin Towers are.... no longer with us..." said Will.
"What?? Did they disappear?? How??" exclaimed Stanford.
"No.... so basically, there were terrorist attacks. Some crazy extremists decided to hijack four planes, and they um.. hit the towers, causing them to go down. 3000 people died." said Will, somberly.
"...Each tower got hit by two planes?" asked the scientist, loosening his grips on the chains that held the triangular demon in place.
"No, it was one plane per tower, but one of the planes hit the Pentagon, and the other crashed in Pennsylvania." said Will.
"THEY HIT THE PENTAGON???" exclaimed Stanford, eyes wide in shock.
"Yeah..." sighed Will.
"Huh...." said Stanford.
""Huh"?? That's all you have to say? This was a national tragedy, people died." exclaimed Will
"That is simply an issue of skill for them. See, if I had been there, I would have survived." stated the scientist.
"What the fuck are you talking about? There's no way you'd have survived." exclaimed Will.
"Well, you see, I am simply better than everyone else. Even if I had been at the top of either one of the towers, I would have been able to escape fast enough before either towers came crashing down." said Stanford.
"...you're even more delusional than I thought you were." said Will, rolling his eye.
"Sure I am, what's your point?" said the scientist, with a shit-eating grin.
".....Kill yourself." said Will.
