Welcome to the Neptune Social Animation
This process varies in length and difficulty between subjects
However, it is proven to be beneficial for all cases
Before we begin I must remind you that your reactions
To the following tests are important and it is beneficial
That you do not attempt to hide them
Thank you.
Let's begin.

Two unacquainted geese have just
Woken up next to each other on a distant planet
Far from their own
After a brief exploration of the nearby terrain,
A chessboard is found hidden under a fairly medium-sized brown rock
After about a month of survival,
The male goose attempts to force himself onto the female goose
Reacting out of self-defense, the female goose strikes her attacker
With the very same brown rock which had
Previously been used to hide the chessboard
Killing him instantly
Before we proceed
I'd like to ask you the following question
If there are two barking dogs
But you only have the power to make one of them stop barking,
Do you choose to do so, or let both of them continue?

Two locals, both male, come across the female goose
Traumatized by the recent turn of events
Out of each of their own sexual desires
They decide to take her and, masking their generosity as common courtesy
The female goose accepts their offer
Bringing along her only possessions
The rock and the chessboard
They decide to leave the male goose to rot
Now we've got three barking dogs
And you have the power to make two of them stop barking
Do you do so, or do you let all three continue?
Thank you
Now picture yourself riding a bicycle down a very large hill
Your speed increases rapidly as you continue
Down this seemingly never-ending hill
Suddenly you are not even riding the bicycle anymore
You are sitting in the corner at a party where
You are expected to acknowledge each and every one of the attendees
Possibly even in a sexual manner
What is your plan of action?

Let's revisit that moment on the bicycle.
What did you feel?
Did you feel joy?
Did you feel terror?
Did you feel invincible?
Did you feel in control?
Did you feel what you wanted to feel?
Regardless of your actions, the dogs have quit barking.
The female goose has begun to suspect, rightfully
The two local males intentions
She has decided to leave to be on her own again
Bringing with her only the chessboard, the rock, and a blanket
The two males had given her
Just as she's about to get up and leave
Something comes over her
She forgets her plans and goes to lie down on the couch
Falling fast asleep, she dreams.

Before Sunset

Imagine you are walking down a dark alleyway
As you are about halfway through the alleyway
You notice a frog that appears to have been squished by an automobile
Unsure why, but this event causes a movement of tears directed by you
As you are mourning the deceased creature,
A deliveryman walks out of a nearby door to the alley,
And begins to laugh at you.
Within his fit of laughter, he doesn't realize that
He accidentally drops one of the packages he is supposed to deliver
After he is done laughing at you and has left the area
You open the package.
It is empty.
As the female goose awakes from her slumber,
She is surprised to find that she has now been tied to a chair.
Her screams for help cause the three dogs to begin barking again.
The two local males rush into the room,
Yelling at her to be quiet.
All of a sudden, three gunshots are heard from outside.
No more barking is heard.
For reasons unknown, the planet suddenly implodes.
Do you desire a purpose?
Do you want to get the most out of life?
What is your passion?
Do you love?
Are you patriotic?
Do you own an automobile?
What are you doing?

Have you ever been within a romance?
If yes, pick your favorite.
If no, imagine the best-case scenario.
This romance seems it will never come into an end.
You are fantastically in love.
You feel joy.
You feel terror.
You feel invincible.
You feel in control.
You feel what and how you want to feel.
The goose, the dogs, nor the frog longer matter to you.
You are in love.

A wise man once told me that
You will miss the toilet every single time if you never
Learn to take a piss without the help of another.
That being said, I will be leaving you on your own
For these next few steps
I'm sure you will do great.
I wish you the best of luck.

Bark bark bark
Ha ha, just kidding around here.
How was the brief solitude?
You appear to be doing wonderful.
There are a few more steps of the Neptune Social Animation we must complete,
But don't worry,
I shall be here guiding you for the rest of the journey.
Standing on the corner outside of the hit local ice cream parlor,
You and your romantic interest notice a cool haircut guy
Pulling up the curb on his jet black motorcycle
He approaches and starts to put the moves on your romance partner.
Are you gonna take that?

Sailing Away

Flash forward a few months.
Your romantic interest has had the realization that they are
Not able to be within a romance at the present moment.
This hurts, but you eventually come to understand.
Yet, you just can't seem to shake that feeling of loneliness
And begin to crave their presence at every waking moment.
Then you find out that cool haircut guy has made out
With your previous romance partner.
Four dogs begin to bark.
You have the power to make each and every one of the four dogs
To quit barking
However, the only way to do so is by stabbing them over and over again
With a pocket knife until they are dead or cannot bark any longer.
What is your plan of action?
What is your purpose?
What is your passion?
What makes life worth living?
Why is life worth living?
Who gets to determine that?
Why do they get to determine that?
The frog loved to skateboard.
Skateboarding made life worth living for the frog.
The frog can no longer skateboard.

What is your favorite number?
Mine is six hundred sixty-nine.
You should keep that in mind.
Nothing is real and nothing means anything.
Well would you look at me.
I sound like that pretentious prick from
Your community college philosophy class
If I gave you one shot one opportunity
to own a jet black motorcycle
And to obtain a cool haircut
Would you take it or would you let it slip?
Do you understand why you are here right now?
Have you realized your full potential?
Complete.
