So what is 'pataphysics? You glance at someone, they glance back at you, and you decide they either love you or despise you. You then think that maybe they do [[Yandere|both]] these things and thus they are a stalker. You imagine yourself running away from them like a scene from a bad horror movie. Suddenly it is also an action flick and things are exploding everywhere because in this world, the rule is that all chases must create explosions. Maybe it is not a rule, but an unexceptional exception. In this world the rule of explosions is quite dangerous, so, as a solution, people wear large fire-resistant capes to soak up the explosions to be utilized later. Welcome to 'pataphysics! |
