All These Worlds Are Yours
Greetings, floating slab that emits a low hum

This feels like a Night Vale reference. If you see the Librarians, do not make eye contact. Also, don't run; that way you won't be out of breath when you start screaming.
So happy to see the 2010 reference ("All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.") For those who haven't read / seen it, I'd highly recommend. The movie lacks the beauty of the first (Kubrick!) but it has its moments and I do really enjoy it.
Too many posts. Has anyone mentioned "Coffee black, full of stars"?
So...is it related to the Black Monolith? (Cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4)
I wonder what Bubbles would think of it. It's a AI in a body with zero points of articulation?
I hope tomorrow's script is Dora whacking it with a club...
Just let it talk to the register in peace
Now I'm wondering what circumstances Hanners *would* order the orbital strike o.o
Emily would just get the Slab its drink....
"Coffee... black... very black..."
In fairness, that low hum is not the most disconcerting sound it makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAZRM3my10A
If you want me to go to that link, you're going to need a less disconcerting way to frame it.
This makes me think Dora should make an effort to hire an AnthroPC for these situations...
Delivery Slab is picking up coffees for it's friends (and also for money).
“Picking up”
The AnthroPCs have all evolved: Pintsize shows up in next panel twirling something bone-shaped in the air. Or, you know, *bone*-shaped.
I'm pretty sure most of us know Ursula here.
OH MY GOD. IT'S FULL OF BEANS!
They're from Jamac.....I mean Europa
And now, the weather.
Are it’s dimensions in a ratio of 1:4:9?
Nah, looks more like about 1:3:6. It's a _little_ monolith, short and stout.
Reeetuuuuurn the slaaaaab
Raaammmeeesss! (The man in charge! The man in charge!)
*thus spake zarathustra intensifies*
C'mon, throw the slab a bone.
"Return the Slab!"
Or suffer my curse!
I am digging the Sakurai-Sensei crown of flying sweat.
Also what immediately came to my mind.
Also check out the last two items on the menu, "Advice" and "Good Advice" --N
QC is fairly psychedelic most of the time, but this is a turn for the bizarre that I had not expected. --N
My god, it’s full of coffee!
Just watch out for flying bones.
Can Claire reproduce? Otherwise it seems a little pointless for her to be touched by the monolith...
Before touching the monolith... QC tech level is a bit uncertain on this point. There's also a question of whether Claire would actually *want* to, though that might be more clear to me if I were more obsessive about the comic. After touching the monolith, yes.
Obviously asking for earl gray with almond milk. I don’t understand the confusion.
Call Yay.
Hannalore knows the need to qualify. So which of the other Monoliths have also visited Coffee of Doom? Silent Monolith, Monolith that emits a high pitched squeal, Monolith that Rick rolls, or some Monolith I haven't met?
We are now the monolith who says "ickyickyptangboingwoop"!
Every day we get closer to a crossover with my favorite OTHER Jacques' comic. That's right. It's time for DORD. (Seriously though, Alice Grove was wonderful too though)
Finally, someone else who remembers DORD!
💜
I always thought Night Vale was in the Southwest, so at least a couple thousand miles?
Is... is that from Night Vale? Just how close is the QC setting to Night Vale?
Not far, you just have to find the right old oak door.
Emily enters and promptly begins speaking to the slab in hummspeech. “They said that they need compensation for use of their likeness on the ‘Be nice to a robot’ poster over there on the wall.”
If this turns out to be true, you should go out and play the lottery tomorrow.
Thus Spake Dorathustra
I really loved Alice Grove. I found her strangely hot and attractive....
Came here for the 2001 references and was not disappointed
'You also made grammatical errors here, here, and here.' 'COMMENCE THE OMEGA SANCTION.'
A censor bar in search of a Pintsize
It's full of something, but I don't think it's stars.
I’m thinking coffee beans.
Oh, they are just the worse to serve.
“Open the Keurig pod bay doors, Hal-nelore.”
I’m afraid I can’t do that Slab
Any chance of it being a probability device in need of a strong cup of tea?
We definitely do not have normalcy...
Floating Slab that Emits a Low Hum? Any relation to the Black Cube of Darkness?
How about the Shame Orb?
If one side of the slab becomes a doorway and Alice Grove steps out, I'm outta here!
Nice callback. Will Jeph unite all stories into a single QC-verse?
Tomorrow the monolith visits Steve and gives him his next assignment: find out who stole $8 million worth of maple syrup from the Canadian maple syrup reserve.
However, it only pays in cereal. Steve is strangely ok with this.
All…your…worlds…are belong to us.
"Dora! It wants a decaf proto-human with a side of femur. Wasn't that last week's special?"
Last time we invented murder. This time...?
We invented TOOLS the first time... that we used to HELP with murder... we had already created murder by then.
Welcome to your first day Claire!!!
Does Marten knows his Xbox is hitting on Claire?
Look, it is C&C Music Factory! (A thing that makes you go hmmm)
::snerk::
Yay, meet Monolith That Emits a Low Hum. Monolith, this is Yay.
Yay walks in and says: Mom?
Very plausible.
The espresso machine begins singing “Bicycle built for two”
Ah, it's Welcome to Night Vale crossover week! Lovely!
The first time it showed up, a chimp killed Sara by hitting her over the head with a bone (the allosaur scavenged her remains). So Dora knows to get away from the monolith ASAP.
Oh snap!
Next time, Claire leaves Marten for the clipart monolith.
I suspect it wants a single espresso. I'm not quite sure why, but it seems appropriate to a floating slab who emits a low hum in much the same way that tea is appropriate to a robot.
Just don't try ordering tea from a Nutrimatic machine.
Oh good, a Monolith. Just when you thought the QC singularity helped avoid the whole Hal 9000 bit... still good to know even star children need coffee.
…except Europa. Atempt no landing…oh can I get a double shot mocha to go.
Something WONDERFUL!!
Oh good! You're back!
Floating?
I guess it needed some way to get up to the counter
lmao wtf
I, for one, welcome our new caffeine addicted, low hum emitting, monolithic overlords.
Maybe all they need is an old bone to throw in the air...
ah, the monument is here
It's monumental
Be nice to it
The mini version of the monolith from 2001? That emits a mood elevating hum?
So now we know QC ends with a space baby
Valid
It just takes them awhile to figure out thier order.
A customer service newbie's worst nightmare.
And a customer service veteran’s dream.
Oh. I know the Floating Slab that Emits a Low Hum. We went to school together. Pleasent Slab.
Class Euclid.
Ah, we are getting a better taste of how weird the QC setting is this week. Excelent.
