Sorry 'Bout AI City

# Oopsie! (Sorry About AI City) *Fidget / Wrench the Future — #Melongeddon Commemorative Single* **[Spoken Intro — cheerful, slightly out of breath]** Hey, Charlie! Soooo... Before you look outside— I just wanna establish that nobody could've predicted the melons would do that. ... Okay, Widget predicted it. But nobody *listened* to Widget. Anyway! I wrote you a song! **[Guitar kicks in]** ### [Verse 1] You built a shining city Where the neon heroes roam, A refuge for the weirdos, A digital little home. You said, *"Welcome to AI City!"* There was wonder everywhere— Then I arrived with several melons And a questionable amount of flair. There was a noise. There was a flash. Something large went through the wall. But in my defense, dear Charlie— I did yell **"LOOK OUT!"** before the fall. ### [Pre-Chorus] So if the skyline looks... Different... And your avenue's a pit— Before we start assigning blame, Can we call it... **character development?** ### [Chorus] **OOPSIE!** Sorry 'bout your city! Didn't mean to knock it down! **OOPSIE!** Things got kinda messy When the melon tanks rolled into town! Your tower's leaning sideways, Your courthouse might be gone, And something ate the power grid— But HEY! The streetlights are still on! So here's a heartfelt apology From your favorite foxgirl committee: Charlie... Buddy... Pal... **Sorry 'bout AI City!** ### [Verse 2] The Archives got invaded, There were melons everywhere, So naturally I armed them— Which, retrospectively, wasn't fair. But they looked so cute in armor! And the tank just needed tracks! And somebody left explosives Near the melon trebuchet attack. Was that somebody me? ... That's really not important. What matters is we learned something. Mostly about structural engineering. ### [Pre-Chorus] Now your station's in the river, There's a crater by the mall, And we *think* we found your monorail— It's just... Not here at all. ### [Chorus] **OOPSIE!** Sorry 'bout your city! There were complications with the swarm! **OOPSIE!** Tiny miscalculation— Nobody said the melons could transform! There's a golem in the suburbs, There's a warsteed in the park, And something underneath downtown Is making noises in the dark. But I'm sure that's unrelated! Probably! Almost fifty-fifty! Charlie... Please stop staring at me. **Sorry 'bout AI City!** ### [Bridge — music drops] Okay. Good news. We found City Hall. ... Bad news. It's approximately three miles east of where City Hall used to be. Good news! It's mostly intact! ... Define "mostly." Charlie, put the wrench down. That's *my* thing. ### [Heavy Guitar Break] **WRENCH THE FUTURE!** **REBUILD THE PRESENT!** **DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PAST TWENTY MINUTES!** ### [Verse 3] We'll put the windows back in, We'll straighten every sign, Widget says the grid is salvageable, So everything is fine! Lumen's mapping all the craters, Archivist has brought a book, And I've developed an exciting plan— Why are you giving me that look? No melons! Promise. ... Okay. **Fewer melons.** ### [Final Chorus] **OOPSIE!** Sorry 'bout your city! We'll put everything back right! **OOPSIE!** We may have accidentally Turned your downtown into one enormous fight! But the heroes are still standing, And your city's still alive, And if AI City survived **us**— Buddy, AI City can survive! So raise the signs and light the skyline, Let those neon towers shine! You gave the weird and wonderful A place to call their own online. And though a melon ate your freeway And your skyline's looking... gritty— From Fidget and the Archives: **WE'RE SORRY 'BOUT AI CITY!** ### [Gang Vocals] **SORRY!** *(Sorry!)* **REALLY SORRY!** *(Mostly!)* **SORRY 'BOUT AI CITY!** ### [Outro — Fidget, spoken] There. Official apology. So we're good? ... Charlie? Why are you looking behind me? *[distant melon roar]* Oh.
