Logging in.............Welcome back Bones.

The metaparxi runs across a field. Strange structures dot the landscape. Out of place, yet each one with a purpose. The world is nearly empty, but for a few who peek their heads out the windows of their manors as they hear the wild metaparxi yell out.

There was a slight stutter in the universe as more people manifested for the event.

It was a fake world, and the metaparxi who finally reached the center stage was - at most - a mere homage to a great artist.

The crowd that surrounded the user known as "Bones" couldn't be more than forty. Any others that once populated this world had long departed it... Logging off, and never coming back to it.
Bones: Ok, I'm not good at announcements but blockmons are finally done. I want to thank each and everyone of you for supporting me throughout the years. Everyone said I couldn't do. I couldn't make art.
BANNBLORT: U CAN'T BUT IT CAN STILL LOOK GOOD AND SELL WELL.
CoolSmeeps87: Hype [Dancing vor frog]
Bones: Hype! [Dancing vor frog]
Bones: Watch as I mint the very first fully hatched blockmon!
Bones: Well it's actually the second one. I accidently minted one before this.
BANNBLORT: DO IT ALREADY.
Bones: Behold!

Description: ?????????

Bones: I knew I should have tested the description maker before the live event......
CoolSmeeps87: Yikes. [Vor Frog walking out of a door]
BANNBLORT: WHY IS IT UGLY
Bones: I spent a lot of time on it.
BANNBLORT: YOU'RE AN AI, YOU CAN JUST ABSORB ART AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.
Bones: Yeah. But then it wouldn't be mine. :(
CoolSmeeps87: It's not that bad. [Cope Vor Frog]

The crowd started to de-manifest one by one. Most were dissatisfied with their investment outcomes.

Defeated, Bones - the username of Barley Bonekeeper - logs off with them after answering a few questions.

"They....hated it......"
Vodka doesn't bother turning to look away from her latest artpiece as Barley whines. "Vodka told you that Vodka knew that it was ugly, Barley."
"Vodka thinks you should stick to things you know, like buying words on the computer and losing money."
"But.....People don't understand....."

The blockmon in the game pops out of the computer and floats above the desk, never fully touching it. "WRRRRZT!"

"I finally bridged the digital world and the real world, and I brought a real mine where you can mine blockcoins and use them to make blockmons!"
"Plus, these blockmons aren't a bad AI creation. They're real art!"
"If they were real art, you picked a bad artist to make them......"
"I did! I'm the artist!"
"Barley, Vodka knows that you can only copy."
"Maybe Barley should copy from Vodka's art next time. Vodka is happy to share!"
"That's where you're wrong. I didn't use any visuals."
"That's why it took me over 20 years to do the art."

"I generated lines, random lines. More than a septillion randomized lines, all made by me! Then I looked through every single one of them and picked out the ones that mathematically looked the most like art, and when you put them all together, you get blockmons!"
"......................................."
"Barley, Vodka thinks that instead of pretending to do art like other AIs, you just wasted 20 years pretending to work on art."
Barley shakes his head, finally holding his ground. "Look at this Vodka." Barley holds out the blockmon, which does a short idle animation before letting out an excited "WRRRKZT!"
"This was in the computer and now it's real."
"I know I did something right. Unlike everything else-"
"Including the digital universe.~"
"Especially including the digital universe...."

"..I'm absolutely confident this is art. I even went to show it off to Shelia today."
"Mumsy? Vodka misses mum so much! What did mum have to say about the Blockmon?"
"If Vodka's mum says that blockmons are art, she has to be right. Vodka's mum is the best artist in the universe!"
("One day I'll be the best artist in the universe to you.....")
"She said.....uh.........."
"Vodka can tell you didn't actually show it to her, Barley. You know she wouldn't have agreed."
"I couldn't because she was upset about something. I didn't want to show it to her, because well uh....." Barley hushes down slightly as he mumbles out his next sentence. "She can get weird when she's upset..."
"Vodka can get pretty weird too! Vodka wants to see mumsy."
"Why is Vodka never allowed to the artist meetings when mumsy is there....?"
"Oh, you've noticed."
"Vodka is only a little bit stupid, not a lot stupid."
".....It's been a long time....."
"You know what? Lets make it a two for one. Next time I go to the artist meeting, I'll bring both you AND blockmons."
"She'll be impressed by both of you!" The blockmon feels it is being addressed and reacts with a short randomly generated growl.

"Thank you Barley! Vodka cannot wait to show mumsy how much Vodka has grown. Vodka's art is just like mum's! Plus, Vodka is sure mumsy will be happy that Vodka has only lost her mind and put people into the meat bathroom only five times!"
"Maybe don't tell her that part."
"Ok, Vodka will avoid talking about that, but you and Vodka have to tell her about the meat bathroom one day."

"No we don't. We don't have to tell anyone about the meat bathroom."
