Lonnie had many reasons to be suspicious of this place.

The toys’ so-called dress-codes, Caleb’s conspiracy theories, Maggie’s hiding spots, Zack’s dad’s whereabouts, the other generals, in Cinnatart’s words, Icarus spotting keylogging devices in places where they shouldn’t…

Whatever the hell this Theater Incident is…

But Lonnie allowed it to slide. He had his own little unfinished business to take care of, which he planned on getting back to later. Right now, he just had to sit through this Geometry lesson Miss Delight was teaching. Were there only…five of them in class right now?

Yeah, it was just him, Maury, Zack, Aether, and Orion…He’s known about Maria and Caleb being missing for a while now, Usher’s dislike of the teachers, and Maggie’s dislike of the toys in general…But Azure? Well, Maria’s apparently like a sister to her, so her disappearance might’ve affected her in some way…

Lonnie had his own priorities. And if there’s one thing that he learned in his workfield…

It’s to learn when not to get involved.

And by whatever god that still hasn’t abandoned this doomed timeline yet, if he really does need to get involved, then let there be a sign.

“Class dismissed! You all have a delightful day!”

And that’s the cue. Upon Miss Delight’s greeting, the students began packing up their things, with Lonnie not being exempt from that. But not before giving him one last glance at his own geometry notes. He can’t exactly say he remembers much of the lessons than when he first learned of it, but the refresher was nice.

His writing was tiny and only included the keywords and all, as if made to fit as much information as possible…and ironically also using up the remaining space for doodles of jellyfish and other sea creatures…

Shoving the notebook back in his worn down backpack, he slung it over his shoulders before leaving. Hmm…seems like everyone already left. Looks like it’s his turn to turn off both the AC and the lights. Scanning the room, the place was full of color and decorations that you’d think you’d only see in the Preschool wing of the school. Honestly, that seemed to be a recurring theme with the factory itself. They really want to drive home the fun kiddy aspect of this place.

Waltzing to where the AC was, he passed Maury’s chair and…spotted his Geometry book? Did he leave it? Out of curiosity, Lonnie opened the book. Looks like he tends to underline keywords with pencil instead of using the traditional highlighter. Probably to leave the option to erase any irrelevant info.

There’s other small notes regarding the lessons scattered about in the pages, though it seems like not much effort was put into it. Some of the writings were smudged too. Lonnie can imagine Maury accidentally smudging it with the side of his palm a lot.

Regardless, there’s nothing here of much use. It’s probably better to return it. Shutting the lights in the room, he stepped out of the classroom to leave, passing through the hallways as he did.

Sticker-filled lockers line from end to end in said hallway, though leaving the textbook in Maury’s wasn’t much of an option. Not without knowing his padlock’s password. Instead, he heeded no mind and exited the school, planning to go to the Game Station.

That’s apparently where Maury usually goes after school. A bit inconvenient since you still have to use the Playtime Express and the Train Station to get there from Playcare, but whatever. Gives him the excuse to familiarize himself with the factory more instead of just Playcare.

Boarding Playtime Express’s cable car, he moved some of the non-living mini-critters to sit on one of the seats, letting himself lean on the back cushions for that sweet sweet back relief. He then stared at the TV in the corner.

It played mostly the same Playtime Co. cartoons that played when he was first being toured around by the toys. According to the other orphans, that’s all it ever played. Well, apparently not always, as far as what Zack accidentally slipped up. Totally not ominous whatsoever, that kid…

Then he arrived at the Train Station.

Not too eventful. Sharing seats with mostly toys and the occasional younger orphan here, he stared at one of the windows, spotting security cameras through the reflection without giving himself away to the cameras themselves. Alright then.

Most of the toys were either completely tense, or absolutely exhausted. While the orphans, mostly younger ones, were talking amongst themselves about whatever new games Maury had planned for them next. Everything was mostly fine, until…

This- ear shattering scream rang out.

The train suddenly erupted into a frenzy. The younger orphans jumped out of their seats, the exhausted toys were quickly woken out of their daze, and the tense ones stood up to calm the situation down. And if that wasn’t enough, muffled shouts from somewhere in the factory followed soon after.

“WHAT!? NO!!! QUIT RUNNIN’ SO I CAN GRAB YOU!! DON’T YALL KNOW WHAT HE'S GON DO TO ME!? I CAN'T GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!!! NOT AGAIN PLEASE!!”

All of the toys simultaneously froze. Did they recognize that voice? Some of them shared shocked glances, while others covered the orphans’ ears. Although they didn’t bother with Lonnie, assuming his headphones are still playing.

But…

“NONONONO!!! PLEASE!!! GET BACK HERE!! WHY ARE YOU TWO SO….FUCKIN’ SELFISH!?!? CAN’T YA’LL SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOIN’?!?” The voice pleaded. “NONE OF THIS WOULDA HAPPENED IF YOU TWO BRATS HAD JUST STAYED PUT IN PLAYCARE!"

He heard it all.

"IF YOU HAD JUST STAYED THERE YOU COULDA LEFT! WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN SO FUCKIN’ HARD!? HIXEL’S DEAD." The voice continued to ring out from who knows where. "THE FOUR LEADS MIGHT DIE…and IM GON GET SENT BACK TO THE TRENCHES AND ITS ALL. YOUR. FAULT!!!”

He heard everything…

“N-no…NO NOT AGAIN! PLEASE! PLEASE, MAN! I TRIED MY BEST! JUST NOT AGAIN! A.I.!?, NANCY!?, ANTSY- SILAS!! HELP ME!!! I DONT WANNA-”

What in the ever-loving hadal zone was that?! The scream was loud enough to cause the lights to flicker, and the commotion was even starting to rock the train a bit. Lonnie stood up and held onto the grab handles as tight as he could until the dust finally settled, and whoever was conducting the train had no choice but to stop to an abrupt halt.

…Well, not that far of a walk away from the Game Station, Lonnie guessed.

As he walked the entire time, he couldn’t help but think of what that was about. Two brats? Maria and Caleb? Hixel? Like the toy robot? There’s four leads? Well, he knows about Mommy and Doey being two of them thanks to Cinnatart, but who are the others? Who are they, and who are those names the voice mentioned at the end? The trenches? D-did that person who screamed die…?

Who’s…this he…that’s threatening him…?

One walk to the Game Station later, and he arrived to see other younger orphans telling the ones Lonnie shared a train ride with not to bother with Maury’s next game. Something about being unable to find him?

‘Don’t tell me I had to deal with all of that for nothing…’ Lonnie thought.

Why is he even spending all of this effort looking for one person, when he could’ve just left the textbook in Maury’s room at Home Sweet Home? He knew he told himself it’s for familiarizing himself more, but he’s starting to think of all the better times he could’ve done that. In the corner of Lonnie’s eye, he then found a certain head toy in pink. Great, maybe Miss Long Legs knows where the missing boy is.

“Excuse me- Miss Long Legs?”

The toy flinched, before turning around to face him.

“Yes, dear?”

Seems even she was tense. Was this about Maria and Caleb’s whereabouts? Makes sense, he figured. The first seventy-two hours are the most critical when looking for a missing person, and how many days has it been since those two’s disappearances? Nevertheless, Lonnie feigned ignorance and tilted his head.

“Umm- I can’t help but notice how on edge you and the others have been, and- I don’t think that scream really helped.” He pointed out. “Is it about Maria and Caleb?”

Mommy’s breath went unsteady for a minute, looking at the other orphans at the Game Station. Why did she even agree on letting Azure go? She should’ve stayed with the others while the other three searched for Maria and Caleb! What- just because A.I. vouched for her? That meeting left here really tense, and the sands of time are only further running out. Regardless, she forced a smile.

“Well yes, b-but rest assured, we will find them!” She tried to convince Lonnie…and herself. The last thing she needed was another orphan conducting their own search party. “But enough about that, what brings you here, Lonnie dear-”

“You guys already contacted the authorities about it, right?” Lonnie raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have to do this all on your own. The factory is really big and all, and I’m sure the police can help-”

“No! No, umm-” Mommy cleared her throat. “What I meant to say is, we’ve got it all taken care of! Now, as I was saying…”

“What brings you here, Lonnie dear?”

Lonnie hid his rising suspicions under his oblivious facade, before presenting Maury’s geometry book in his hands.

“I was wondering where Maury is? He left his textbook in class, and I wanted to return it to him.” He filled Mommy in, then glanced at the disappointed younger orphans. “I’ve overheard from the younger kids that he’s not here, when he usually has all these games planned.”

Mommy blinked in surprise, internally forcing herself to think of an explanation. “Oh! Well you see-” She momentarily looked at the Train Station’s waiting area, where she last saw Maury before leaving to eat lunch, and…

“He’s- He’s been adopted!” She lied. “He’s found a new home, with a wonderful new pair of parents!” She tried to make a convincing laugh, wincing internally at how it came out.

“Adopted?” Lonnie echoed, catching the toy’s failed attempt at subtlety. One that Mommy would hope he’d excuse for stress from the two missing kids. But at this point, Lonnie’s only getting more suspicious from here on out. “Oh, that’s great for him! I’m just a bit disappointed that I didn’t get to know him more before he left. Oh well…”

“Looks like I’m just gonna have to leave this in his room.” He slouched in feigned disappointment, holding the book back to his chest. “Take care, Miss Long Legs!”

Mommy nodded in return, watching in worry as Lonnie disappeared from her sight. She fidgeted with her plastic fingers, unable to shake off the jitters from her spine. Five days…

That’s all they have…

Part 2's first draft is already done, I'm just waiting for Zacker's owner to give me the green light since that's when Zacker actually shows up. Oh, and fun fact! If you can't tell by the title, Lonnie's Filipino! His full name is Haiyan M.(Maalon) Habagat, so take those name meanings in that context🤭

The group entered the room…completely unaware of what was about to happen. Great… A.I. watched silently as they made their way through a 4 by 4 grid of rooms…the rooms all looked different and were connected by halls all had their own little features but had ONE thing in common. A big, metal door. The group continued walking silently before they suddenly heard something…oh god. Not another TV.

A.I.: “Wow you guys really just looooooove being pains in the asses … it’s honestly impressive how long you’ve lasted. Sure it’s only been what a day and a half but still… kinda impressive … anyway, this is the part where we kill you :D”

The group was shocked when a door suddenly slammed shut behind them. Maria angrily looked up at the TV, gripping her bat tightly as Clarance and Handyman were immediately on guard. Caleb put a hand to his ear, listening out for anything unusual.

A.I.: “Hey Lucky, If you survive, mind telling me what Handyman thinks of me?”

Loud stomping was heard before it suddenly came to a stop…Caleb recognizes that stomping from anywhere. That giant toy…they then heard another door open up somewhere…but no sound was heard after that. The group stayed completely silent and so did A.I. … A.I. was being…strangely silent. That’s not normal. Handyman took a step forward, making just the smallest creak when the door behind them opened, revealing a toy…completely black and white. She took a step back before lunging at Handyman who quickly dodged out of the way. The group ran in different directions, making tons of sound which caused Silencer to completely freak out at the amount of noise being heard. The hunt has begun.

A.I. opened up a series of doors for Sandman to get through whilst closing and slamming doors on Maria. Caleb noticed a door opening to Clarance and quickly ran over to him just as Mr Sandman came flying down the hall and eventually slammed his head into a door. He held back a cry, not wanting to alert Silencer while she listened out for the smallest peep. A small smiling critter was crushed under Mr Sandman’s weight as he slammed his fist into a door behind him, just narrowly missing Clarance’s neck. Clarance quickly molded and pushed himself underneath the door just as Handyman walked into the room. The door slammed shut behind Handyman before another opened beside them, sending Silencer in their way. Handyman moved out of the way just enough for Silencer to miss them before running through the open door which then slammed shut again.

A.I. opened another door for Maria just to slam another shut in front of her, she let out an angry yell before suddenly covering her mouth. Silencer came running in her direction and just barely managed to scratch her leg. She let out a pained hiss and ran into another room, just barely managing to make her way past a large, multicolored table. Caleb slowly began to understand what was happening and as carefully as he could, began to walk through the series of rooms and halls, trying to find the exit. Clarance entered the room, trying to get away from Mr Sandman who was slowly creeping down the halls…Clarance didn’t even notice Maria who was running behind him.

Maria was suddenly grabbed by Caleb who made a “shushing” motion at her before pointing at Silencer. It took her a second to realize but she eventually got the idea and nodded. Handyman was going to run over to the two kids but noticed Mr Sandman in the distance. They immediately backed up to a door before…getting an idea.

Mr Sandman perked up as Handyman knocked on the door before charging at the experiment. Handyman dodged out of the way just enough for Mr Sandman to hit his head against the metal door with a pained cry. This made Silencer start charging down the halls after them. A.I. opened up another door to allow her through but before he could see what was about to happen, a bat went flying into the TV. NOT AGAIN!!! He suddenly moved to a different TV that was behind Maria as she ran to go grab her baseball bat back. Handyman continued to use their trick of making Mr Sandman charge at them, just to hit the door. He was beginning to dent them. A.I. noticed that one of the doors looked very messed up from Mr Sandman constantly ramming into it and attempted to open it back up and close it but it only opened half way. What the-!? He BROKE the DOOR! That was the ONLY door leading OUT of the room! Well…besides for the one they entered in but STILL!

Maria saw this and yelled for Caleb to follow after her before charging at the small opening. A.I. then realized what was happening and attempted to close the door shut again but Mr Sandman had managed to crawl his way under it and chase after the two kids into a giant warehouse. A.I. silently watched before switching to a different TV where Handyman was. He was GOING to say something until….

Handyman flipped him off.

…

A.I. immediately slammed the doors shut then opened a VERY clear path from Silencer to Clarance and Handyman. To be honest…he kinda figured that his “Handyman and A.I. brother relationship” was one sided, but that still kinda hurt…

—————

Maria grabbed onto Caleb and ran behind some crates, hoping the giant beast didn’t see them. Mr Sandman listened out for any sounds…any sign of those two brats. He’s getting sick and tired of them. A WHOLE DAY!? Tsk…it usually takes him SECONDS to get the job done! Maria shifted only a little but but unfortunately that was all Mr Sandman needed to know their location. He perked up and immediately rammed his body into the crates that the two were hiding behind, shaking the walls and floor in the process. Maria and Caleb leaped out of the way of the attack, sending them both plunging to the floor. Caleb stayed down while Maria immediately got back up and began running. Mr Sandman noticed and chased after her.

Mr Sandman: “Look! I don’t wanna hurt yall as much as yall don’t want me hurtin’ you! But I’m just doin’ my JOB so if you would just stay still and let me get ya back to Playcare then that would be GREAT!”

He lunged into another crate that Maria ran behind, sending wood flying in every direction. He was down for a few seconds, feeling disoriented before he finally got back up and continued to chase after him. He was growing angrier and more desperate. Why are they being so difficult!? He’s not gonna hurt them!

Mr Sandman: “Would ya STOP!? I AIN’T GONNA HURT YOU!”

Caleb finally got up and ran one way while Maria stopped and began to climb up the large pallet rack. Mr Sandman growled before jumping as far up as he could to the top of the pallet rack. He shifted his body weight back slightly, forcing Maria to grip on harder. With a grunt he suddenly pushed his legs forward and leaped off of it, sending the pallet rack tipping over. Caleb heard the ruckus and immediately felt around before grabbing something and throwing it at where he assumed Maria was. Thankfully…his judgment was correct as she suddenly caught onto a long, metal pole and used it to safely get back down.

Maria: “Thanks, Caleb!”

Caleb: “No Problem!”

Mr Sandman charged at Maria again with an angry growl but unfortunately missed again, slamming his head into a wall. He let out a pained groan before yelling again, this time sounding even more angry and desperate.

Mr Sandman: “CUT IT OUT!!! IM JUS DOIN’…WHAT I GOTTA TO DO!! Now would you STOP BEING SO DIFFICULT!? DON’T YA KNOW WHAT HE’S GON DO TO ME IF I SCREW THIS UP!?”

…he? Maria blinked in confusion before lunging out of the way of another attack…this time…sending Mr Sandman’s head ramming into a pair of metal bars. He let out a pained shriek as he hit the metal and immediately took a couple of steps back, but his footing was uneven due to his disorientated he was. He looked like he was gonna topple over…He tried to take a step forward over to Maria but fell over, falling face first. He let out a pained groan and slowly pushed himself up, looking around. It was…so blurry…and he was in SO much pain…he almost couldn’t make out the green and dark grey figures that were heading towards the big metal door- WAIT WHAT!? NO!! THEY CANT LEAVE! NOT WHEN HE JUST HAD THEM!!

Mr Sandman let out an angry roar and forced himself up. He chased after the two kids just as they were running into the room that was filled with tons of machinery. He leaped past and around metal machines as he chased after them…. He was SO close to catching them..no more beatings, not more pain, no more torture…

At least…he thought so, before he felt the bone shattering pressure of a machine slamming down on his leg, crushing his femur bone. Mr Sandman let out an absolute ear shattering scream that was heard throughout the entire factory. Everything around the factory suddenly went silent at the sound of his scream, as if listening in to any words he might say. Mr Sandman looked back at the machine with widened eyes before snapping his head back over to the two kids.

Mr Sandman: “WHAT!? NO!!! QUIT RUNNIN’ SO I CAN GRAB YOU!! DON’T YALL KNOW WHAT HES GON DO TO ME!? I CANT GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!!! NOT AGAIN PLEASE!!”

Maria froze at the sound of his scream before grabbing onto Caleb’s shirt and slowly backing away with him away from the giant, flailing experiment. Mr Sandman attempted to pull his leg from under the machine but the pain was simply too much…He was quickly losing blood but was filled with so much desperation and terror that he almost didn’t notice it, the longer he spoke the more angry his words became.

Mr Sandman: “NONONONO!!! PLEASE!!! GET BACK HERE!! WHY ARE YOU TWO SO….FUCKIN’ SELFISH!?!? CAN’T YA’LL SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOIN’?!? NONE OF THIS WOULDA HAPPENED IF YOU TWO BRATS HAD JUST STAYED PUT IN PLAYCARE! IF YOU HAD JUST STAYED THERE YOU COULDA LEFT! WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN SO FUCKIN’ HARD!? HIXEL’S DEAD. THE FOUR LEADS MIGHT DIE…and IM GON GET SENT BACK TO THE TRENCHES AND ITS ALL. YOUR. FAULT!!!”

He choked on his own sore throat and spit as the machine slowly lifted back up off of his leg. He didn’t even get to get from under it before it was slamming back down onto his leg, causing him to let out another pained cry. He was about to try and pull himself from under it again when he…heard it.

Metal…coming this way. Oh god. Oh dear god no…not again. NOT HIM…Mr Sandman immediately began to panic, trying to claw and scratch his way from under the machine to get away from whatever was coming his way..

Mr Sandman: “N-no…NO NOT AGAIN! PLEASE! PLEASE, MAN! I TRIED MY BEST! JUST NOT AGAIN! A.I.!?, NANCY!?, ANTSY- SILAS!! HELP ME!!! I DONT WANNA- I Don’t…I- I can’t…” … “I’m sorry mom..”

The large toy slowly fell unconscious in front of the two of them, his words drifting off into silence. Maria stared at him in shock as Caleb held his breath. They were frozen for what felt like years before slowly regaining their bearings and hiding somewhere…just as The Prototype had walked into the room with Poppy.

Because that awful scene was heard throughout the ENTIRE facility, y’all can comment your OCs reactions to hearing that gruesome stuff! 🤩

She looked around in confusion, giving the place a good close look before looking up at her parents. They said that they were going somewhere but…they didn’t tell her where. They were currently at a bus stop and Maria was silently waiting for her parents to inform her on what they were doing. They were talking about…something…but she didn’t know what. She looked down at her bat before smiling at it. Her parents had given this to her on her last birthday so…it was something she really liked. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t even realize that a bus had pulled up and that her parents were already getting on. She gasped and quickly ran over, making sure to stay by her father’s side.

Maria: “uh…mom…dad..? Where are we going?”

Her father, Roman Harper looked down at her with a smile before ruffling up her hair. Sheena walked made sure to pay the bus driver before stepping on, leading the family to a decent seat. The front seats, not too bad..

Roman: “it’s a surprise…but all I’ll say is that we’re heading somewhere that I personally think that you’ll really like!”

Maria: “Oh- uh..alright then!”

Maria didn’t really know what he was talking about but she was curious anyways. The bus drive was pretty long with multiple people stepping on and stepping off but…they never left. It was pretty crowded. At least 40 people up here. Midnight was around the corner and it was getting dark so the bus driver lazily turned his headlights on. He…kinda looks tired. Maybe it’s just her eyes. She listened as her parents discussed Christmas plans, school, ugh…taxes. She let out a sigh then tried to bring up a different topic.

Maria: “Hey, Mom? Do you think I could visit my friend next week? I haven’t seen him in a while and we’ve already got plans!”

Sheena: “huh-? Oh! Course, hun. Here, Let me call his parents.”

Just as Sheena went to pull her phone out, a loud scream was heard, causing her to accidentally drop it to the floor. Roman looked up and noticed that the bus driver was driving like a maniac! What the hell was he doing!? Maria felt her Mother pull her close as her father ran to the front of the bus to see what the idiot was doing. He was…sleeping… he was fucking sleeping. Roman immediately went to try and wake him up with a couple of other people when a loud whistle was heard. Maria looked up from her seat and saw a pair of…headlights..?…Is…is that a train? And they were at the front seats.. Roman, realizing that the bus driver wasn’t waking up ran back over to Maria and Sheena then went to immediately protect them from the impact by using his body to block them off. Maria was about to say something when the train suddenly collided in with the bus.

—————

Maria suddenly stopped walking. Her eyes were widened and she had a tight grip on her bat. Caleb was still moving, but was briefly stopped by Handyman who seemed to notice. Handyman was about to go to check up on her but was stopped by Clarance, who put a hand on her shoulder to let them know that he could handle it. Clarance gestured for the two to keep moving before walking over to Maria. Handyman looked back at Caleb before lightly tapping on his arm, gesturing to him that they could keep moving ahead. Clarance stepped over to Maria but suddenly stopped when he noticed something below his feet. A newspaper… he looked up at her before picking up the newspaper and reading what it said. “Bus collides with train, killing over 40 people except one girl.” His eyes widened. 40 people!? That’s practically a massacre! Clarance did a double take, rereading “except one girl”.

He slowly looked up at Maria who still seemed frozen. Did she…is that why she’s here? He felt..bad. That’s awful. No kid should have to…go though that.. He took now of how she slowly looked up at him before eventually snapping out of it and hurrying along.

Maria: “I-..I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”

Clarance stared at her before looking down at the newspaper and bawling it up with a small nod. He threw it to the floor then followed after the rest of the group.

Clarance: “🟢I…alright..🟢 - 🟦Where..🟦”

Clarance paused before turning his head to look at Handyman. She’s been around here longer than he has, probably knows more, definitely knows more…she should know where to go. Sure…he used to work here…he has memories of it..but Handyman is allowed to roam around more. Probably has seen more ever since….everyone knows what. Handyman blinked before looking up at him. She looked at Maria and Caleb then huffed before answering his question

Handyman: “…Boiler room. Giant one.”

Clarance: “🔷Wait what-? Why there?🔷 - 🟪Shouldn’t we go somewhere else? Somewhere safer maybe.?🟪”

Handyman: “Too dangerous.”

Clarance: “🟪I-🟪“

Handyman: “A.I. watches everywhere at the higher floors. Harley is down at the lower floors. Security is everywhere. Doodle is back at the other place. S-“

Clarance: “🔷Okay, okay! I get it!🔷 - 🟪Boiler room it is..🟪”

Handyman didn’t like speaking much so…she was relived that he finally cut her off. The two made sure that they both agreed on that location before hurrying that way. From behind them…a toy grabbed onto a phone then spoke into it, making sure to be as quiet as possible.

Icarus: “Hello..? They’re heading to the mechanical room…giant one.” … “Well- no..but-“ … “We can’t do that. It’ll blow up if we do-“ … “…fine…I can do that, sir..”

He hung up before calling other toys. The mechanical room was their last chance at catching those kids and those two rebellious experiments. He called many toys, Bunzo, who was just finished speaking to Mommy and was heading down now. There was also Mr Shortcake, Huggy and a few others. They were sending experiments down too. He heard someone else get mentioned in the call but…meh…tried calling A.I. but he seemed busy. Probably too busy. He should speak to him about that when he has time. Catching those kids…It was nothing personal..but they shouldn’t be outside Playcare..and those two experiments need to be in their cells. They need to cooperate if they don’t wanna end up like him anyways.. He blinked when he saw a small spider land on his snout before smiling.

Icarus: “oh…hey, little guy.”

—————

Frosty hung up his phone before running towards a nearby elevator. Maybe…if he catches those four, it’ll gain him Doey’s approval. As…absurd as it sounds..he actually tried taking A.I.’s advice which of course…failed. Seriously…radiators? Where did he even get that from!? Anyways…he stepped onto the elevator and tapped his claws together as it began to take him down. He closed his eyes, attempting to calm his nerves when he saw Mr Shortcake step on. Mr Shortcake had this…look in his eyes..as if he had lost somebody. He frowned, knowing that feeling…all too well.

The ride down wasn’t awkward but it was sure as hell quiet…Frosty noticed how Mr Shortcake didn’t react to the freezing cold air around him, as if he either didn’t notice or didn’t care.

Frosty: “Hey…about Hix-“

Mr Shortcake: “🩷Yes. I know.🩷”

Frosty: “I just wanted to say that-“

Mr Shortcake: “🩷I know that too.🩷”

Frosty: “….im sorry.”

No response… Mr Shortcake gave him a small glance before nodding and stepping off the elevator when it finally stopped. He was going to catch that brat for killing his friend. Hixel was his best friend, they did everything together! He missed his pranks too…Hixel was like his… … anyways…Mr Shortcake was sure that once that brat was caught, then she’d regret killing him. He’s sure of it.

Frosty quietly watched as he walked away. Seems like everyone’s been losing friends lately…Huggy and A.I., Mr Shortcake and Hixel, him and Doey… who’s next? He didn’t really care to know right now…. Frosty stepped off and chased after Mr Shortcake. Not because he wanted to but because he was heading straight towards where they needed to go. As he ran, he suddenly noticed a large experiment and stopped in his tracks. Silas. He’s helpful! He can definitely help them all with this!

Frosty: “Silas! There you are! Can…you could help me…with something..?”

Silas: “Help..? Yeah, definitely! I can do that. What do you need help with?”

Frosty: “In the big, BIG mechanical room, there are a couple of experiments and orphans. I need your help in catching them! Do you…think you could do that..?”

Silas: “Oh..of course! I’m always happy to help.”

Frosty: “Great! Let’s go!”

Frosty immediately turned and began running again with Silas following after him. As long as he got to help..that’s all he needed to be satisfied.

—————

Huggy quickly crawled through the vents, squeezing through the smaller ones and practically gliding through the bigger ones. He noticed a drop and without hesitation, leaped down, landing on his side with a loud bang. Luckily, it didn’t hurt too much so he simply got up and kept going. He had informed Boxy that he needed to head down to the mechanical room after getting a call from Icarus midway through his “talk” with the other toy. He took multiple shortcuts, avoided dead-ends and blocked off some dangerous routes when he finally found a room to get into. Right next to the mechanical room. It would take those two kids and experiments…what? At least 30 minutes to get here? So he can just catch them once they try getting In. Huggy looked around…it was…filthy…he should try cleaning up at least while he waits.

He grabbed a couple of crates and neatly stacked home on top of eachother before picking up some fallen pencils that were lying on the floor. As he cleaned, the room began to look better and better. Just as he was halfway through he saw…something. A cardboard cutout? He looked at the chair that covered it then made little effort to move it to the side to see…a cardboard cutout..of A.I..

A.I. of all toys. Really? He felt like he was being taunted.. Huggy looked at the big red button next to the art of his friend. He didn’t even realize that A.I. HAD a cutout… he was pretty curious to hear what it sounded like- well…obviously it would sound like his friend! He was curious to hear what his lines were… Huggy looked around to make sure that nobody was watching before pressing on the red button…

“Hiya! Welcome to the tour. I’m A.I. your guide for this evening :D”

Huggy stared at it after it said that. Oh yeah…he DID used to do tours before THOSE two… hm… He remembers how they DID try to let him do a tour after he was let out but…he was just acting all KINDS of crazy, practically keeping them hostage, being hostile at times, he even almost leaked some sensitive information! Obviously he’s not…mad…at his friend for it…it was just a reaction. A response to being sealed away for years. He’s only recently joined them after all. Huggy hesitated before pressing on the button again.

“…Y'know i haven't seen a lot of people on tours recently…”

He sounds nervous. Wait- did they actually have these…recorded? The cutouts were supposed to be a take on the toy’s “behavior”. Tsk…at least what kind of behavior they were supposed to have… and the first line was incredibly accurate to how he used to act before The Hour Of Joy but this second one….Huggy couldn’t help but press on, wanting to see the last bit of lines.

“W-wait it's over already?!”

He blinked in surprised. Okay. That’s DEFINITELY a more modern line. Did they take these voice lines from when they had first allowed him to do his old job after he was let out-? The Prototype wouldn’t do that, would he? But..considering how he is, he may have. Huggy has no big issue with The Prototype, he’s a follower to him, just like the others. But Huggy wasn’t as devoted as Catnap or as rebellious as Dogday. He pressed the button again but was frightened by the response that came out of it.

“DON’T LEAVE! PLEASE! PLEASE DONT LEAV-“

The line cut out into static. Harsh. static. That…usually marked the end of a cutout’s lines. He stared at the cutout with a blank, permanent smile on his face before turning and looking at a nearby TV. It was broken. He looked back at the cutout before frowning. Well…as much as he COULD frown considering the shape of his face.. Huggy grabbed it before walking over to a giant drawer and tucking the cutout behind the drawer. He felt bad. Maybe he should….talk to A.I. later-? This whole “death if you don’t catch those kids” thing was stressing him out a bit anyways. Maybe a conversation can keep his mind off of it for a little.

—————

Rosalie quickly began to type something into her phone. She was only given this due to being a worker experiment…told not to use it for anything bad. Once the call was made, she put it up to her ear.

Rosalie: “Dad? Hey.. I was informed by Mr Hallard as to where the two kids and experiments are. He speculates that due to this spilled information that some of the more hostile experiments might try and go after the kids.” … “Yeah, I was given a couple of guns by him. He told me to lend one to you..” … “Okay..I’ll see you there.”

Rosalie hung up the phone before sighing. She hopes that they can catch all of these experiments before more deaths happen. Hixel dying was enough of a bad thing, they don’t need anymore deaths. Especially with Mr Sandman spilling some…very personal information about the place to those kids. Like her father always said…they can’t keep this secret hidden forever. People are bound to find out eventually. Rosalie processed that thought for a moment before loading her gun and running to the location that she was informed that she’d find the experiments.

—————

The Plasticine demon watched with a malicious and hungry grin on his face as Doris ran down the halls like a madman. Finally…some good food. He felt Candi climb up on his back and looked at her with a shared grin. He began to crawl through the vents towards where he heard her heading, making sure that no dust, dirt or cobwebs got on Candi. He knew how she could be whenever something ruined her fluff. Not to mention they were pretty good friends after all. Maybe he’ll find that Mr Clayman when they get there..

—————

The group suddenly stopped. Handyman looked up ahead. A giant hole in the floor… they were walking through a long hall when Handyman noticed that…half of it was missing. Leading to a giant hole in the ground. Handyman stared at the hole, trying to think of what to possibly do when Clarance slowly began to shift and remold his form. It took at least…20 seconds…but he had shifted into a long bridge for the group to get across on. More detailed than what Doey would’ve done but not too detailed at the same time… Maria was hesitant but finally gave in and walked across as Handyman and Caleb made their way down to the other side. After everyone was across, Clarance slowly shifted back before lagging behind the group, probably to recover after doing that. Maria looked back at him and with a reluctant huff, slowly began to lag behind with him. She was…thinking about earlier. As much as she didn’t wanna talk about it..she just wanted to know.

He looked at her for a split second before looking back up ahead at Caleb and Handyman, though…he wasn’t exactly expecting her next question…

Maria: “Hey D- er….Clarance. Do you ever feel like you did something wrong…even if it’s not your fault?”

He blinked in surprise before looking down at her. Huh? What’s she talking about? Be scratched the back of his head with a furrowed brow and a puzzled expression

Clarance: “🔷Well…I can’t say that I haven’t.🔷”

Maria: “…hm.”

The walk was a bit…awkward, until Clarance began to speak up again.

Clarance: “🟢You know…you don’t have to feel guilty about…whatever you’re feeling guilty for.. if you did nothing wrong then there’s really no reason to be guilty. Is..anyone blaming you for what happened?🟢”

Maria: “Well…No- not exactly.”

Clarance: “🟢Then..that settles it.🟢 - 🟪I-…Look…I’m not exactly the most..innocent guy. I’ve..done some stuff in the past that I..honestly wish I could change. But..what’s done is done and I can’t do anything about it. But you really have to forgive yourself if you want that burden off of your chest. Other people can say that they forgive you all they want but in reality, the guilt won’t go away until you decide to address what happened and accept it. It was bad, it was..probably awful even..for everyone involved…but when you finally do that, THEN the guilt will go away🟪.”

Maria: “…huh…”

Maria fell silent, thinking about what Clarance had said. She supposes that she’s…never actually forgiven herself…for the accident. Sure..she never caused it and wouldn’t have even if given the chance but she was the ONLY survivor. Was it all just from…pure luck? She blinked and thought back to…someone else. Clarance looked down at her before tilting his head.

Clarance: “��Do you have any friends?🟢”

Maria: “Well- I know pretty much everyone at Playcare but…there was ONE specific girl.”

Clarance: “🟪Best friends?🟪”

Maria: “Sisters.”

Clarance: “🟪Oh- I see… and..where is she now?🟪”

Maria: “uh…”

Maria looked away, tightening her grip on her bat before sighing.

Maria: “I kinda…left her...”

Clarance: “🟢wait- what? Why’d you do that?🟢”

Maria: “Because… because I want to leave! I don’t want to…be here trapped with a bunch of..weird giant creatures!”

Clarance was…rather offended by her comment of “weird giant creatures”. After all…it’s not exactly his fault that he looks like this. Well…it…kinda IS…but he didn’t CHOSE to look this way! Nonetheless, he ignored the comment.

Clarance: “🟢Why not take her with you?🟢”

Maria: “Because she…loves this place. If I even suggested it she’d be sure to keep the closest eye on me as she possibly could! I HAD to leave her behind!”

Clarance: “🟢did you ever think to ask her…WHY she likes this place so much?🟢”

Maria: “Well…No-?”

Clarance: “🟢…You know…maybe her love for this place goes deeper than just the looks and atmosphere. Maybe it’s something personal, something she doesn’t want anyone to know.🟢”

Maria: “Personal? Azure is anything BUT personal with me! She tells me practically everything-“

Clarance: “…Azure?”

Maria: “…yeah…Azure. Azure Nilson. You know anything about her?”

Clarance suddenly went silent. Memories…they’re flooding back again. He remembers a few years ago…what was it? 10 years ago? Reports about a kid who had been taken from her parents due to…. Anyways… she was around…6 or 5 when she showed up. Displayed a strange disliking of adults and disliking for other people in general..never hurt them though, just never socialized. Though…she was absolutely phenomenal at the game station. Succeeding in almost every aspect of it…and for a simple toddler…that’s impressive.. they were going to use her for…experimenting purposes…but then…THAT…happened.. Azurite Bluebell Cheery Nilson.. oh, he remembers her all so clearly now.

Clarance: “🟪Ah. You must be talking about Azurite. Yes, she was very…skittish…around the adults and other people in general. Though she seemed to adore the toys. She’d often stick around the Miss Delights when she didn’t wanna be around any people and she told them far more information about herself than she even told us.🟪”

Maria: “what…s-so you’re saying that she’s SCARED of me?!”

Clarance: “🟢No, no! Not at all..🟢 - 🟪We actually didn’t think she’d MAKE a friend. Nonetheless find a “sister” of sorts… I’m..impressed, Maria.🟪”

Maria: “Oh- er…I just…saw her alone when I got here and decided to talk to her. She’s pretty nice..” … “You think she’s mad? That I left?”

Clarance: “🟢Well…you should know her better than me, right?🟢 - 🟪After all…I Only knew her for a few of months. You’ve known her since you got here. Which I’m assuming has been a while.🟪 - 🔷Anything you know about her?🔷”

Maria: “She’s…she’s smart. Very talented. She’s got PURE skill. But she’s…pretty naive and over forgiving.”

Clarance: “🟢See? Over forgiving. Im sure she didn’t take it personally.🟢”

Clarance fell silent before continuing.

Clarance: “🟢If you truly feel guilty for leaving her…I’d suggest we go back- and…🟢” … “🟪on second thought…what’s done has already been done..and we can’t go back on that. Especially after what we’ve been er…doing…as of recently. Next time you see her? Apologize.🟪”

Maria: “…what if she doesn’t forgive me?”

Clarance: “🟢She doesn’t have to. Her forgiving you is completely HER choice and if she doesn’t want to…then you’ll unfortunately have to live with that. Just…forgive yourself..after you acknowledge your mistake and understand that it wasn’t right… okay?🟢” … “🟪Ah..and…actually show her that you mean it…apologies mean nothing when they’re not backed up.🟪”

Maria: “…oh….alright…” … “Hey uh…thanks, Clarance..”

Clarance: “….No problem..”

Hm…he kinda talks like her dad. Just as their conversation ended, they made it to a pair of big doors. Handyman walked up and slowly pushed it open to reveal…a giant room. Mostly gray. But there was machinery everywhere…except…the middle of the room, which had a giant..thing located there…Maria couldn’t make out what exactly it was but Clarance and Handyman seemed to know. A boiler. Up above seemed to be another floor all together. Either that or a really long balcony that formed a circle… Maria narrowed her eyes. Isn’t this just a boiler room…?

…

Did…the toys not know what to call it or something?? Yeesh…it’s almost like they’re children.. anyways.. Caleb felt around before shutting the door behind them with Clarance moving a plank and some other junk in front of it as a barricade. the group began to make their way through the large room, avoiding certain machines and sharp objects laid around on the ground. Now…to find the doors.. Maria and Caleb made sure to stick close to Handyman and Clarance. Maria took note of some cardboard cutouts in the room…huh…odd… there was an…hour glass wolf, clock dog and that…weird black and white cartoon toy that attacked them earlier with…ugh..that TV. Maria went to go and see what they were all about when loud banging was suddenly heard from the door that they had just entered from, prompting the group to began running to what appeared to FINALLY be a large pair of doors! ..Sliding doors…ugh… Luckily, this one seemed to allow for Handyman to use her hands to get through it. She pressed her hand against the scanner and watched as the door opened up. Finally…they can leave now. Just as the group was beginning to walk through…a giant toy suddenly blocked their path, taking a step inside with a low, rumbling growl.

Maria’s eyes widened as she was suddenly face to face with a pair of headlights. That sun toy…she thought that they killed him! He should be dead! Right-? She saw him die, she…she KNOWS she did! He had a large prosthetic leg and his body was visibly littered with more scars and wounds than before. Not to mention he looked…PISSED AS EVER… Handyman began to push the group back but the doors from the other side of the room suddenly burst open, revealing Huggy, Pianosaurus and Rosalie. From another pair of doors they didn’t see Frosty, Silas and Mr Shortcake appeared. From above Dupin, Doris, Bunzo, Boxy, Yarnaby and…pretty much the rest of security and some other toys and experiments appeared, including a demon looking toy who had a love themed bee on his back, Doodle, and a large black cat who appeared to have a hand for a tail… there was also a clock-dog who appeared with something following from behind him..

They’re surrounded… The group immediately scattered as Mr Sandman lunged at them, slamming his hand against the ground which caused the room to shake a bit. His body seemed to heat up drastically as he got angrier and angrier which seemed to make Clarance uncomfortable. Maria ran past the boiler as Mr Sandman charged directly at her. Rosalie cocked her gun and aimed it at Melly but felt it get knocked out of her hand by Percival, who took it and aimed it at Clarance before firing with a low, demonic laugh. The shot missed…but he felt the heat from the bullet as it nearly went past him. Clarance let out a pained hiss as the clay on his side burned and darkened from the heat. Oh…hes gonna die in here if it gets too hot… and…he was in for more trouble as Percival suddenly dropped down with Candi still on his back. The Plasticine toy seemed to be ignoring the painful heat in favor of making an attempt to attack him. There’s…too much going on. He felt like he was gonna have a meltdown! Caleb seemed to have better luck at avoiding attacks than the others, they seemed more focused on catching Maria, Handyman and Clarance anyways…though Huggy seemed rather interested in catching him unfortunately. He fell back as Huggy attempted to grab him before getting up and immediately climbing up the closest thing he could get to. When he reached the top, he felt something…is that a giant crate? He heard the sound of someone climbing the machine and on instinct, shoved the crate off of the machine, causing it to land directly on Huggy which also caused him to go falling to the ground with a loud thud. Handyman avoided an attack from Doodle, managing to slip past her. The mime wasn’t having it however..Doodle grabbed onto her leg and threw her over towards Melly. Handyman didn’t hit Melly but was thrown past the other experiment, landing on her front fortunately however. She immediately got up and started running again. Caleb leaped down from where he was, landing on his feet. He was met with Maria who managed to get away from Mr Sandman. Clarance had also managed to meet up with the group too with Handyman following after them. Yarnaby pretty much attacked anything in sight but was quickly shot at by Rosalie, who had a spare gun on her. Rosalie then watched as Bunzo ran over to the group as quickly as he could with Silas sticking close behind. Rosalie grabbed onto another gun before throwing it up to her father.

Dupin grabbed onto a gun that Rosalie had thrown him before aiming at one experiment…but…he didn’t shoot..…what’s that sound? He perked his ears up and looked around before his eyes landed on the boiler. Wait…the room is hot… and there’s a boiler…it’s ringing. Boilers only make noises like that when they’re about to…Oh no.. He looked at Rosalie and on instinct, used her real name.

Dupin: “MACKENZIE! THE BOILER-“

Rosalie suddenly looked up at Dupin. Frosty’s eyes widened. Wait. It’s gonna explode from the room’s heat.. he ran over to it and attempted to use his own body to cool it down but…was unfortunately too late. Mr Sandman as standing right next to the generator a when it suddenly exploded, the blast caused him to get thrown back and just narrowly miss hitting Mr Shortcake who instinctively ducked and covered his head to protect himself from the blast. Rosalie and a few others such as Riley, Kicken, Coo-Coo and Luccy managed to dodge out of the way and get minor scars but…others were unfortunately more…unlucky..

Yarnaby was set ablaze from the heat of the blast while Bunzo’s upper half was ripped clean off. Boxy who was also there, had his wooden body burnt from the heat as well, though he was luckily alive. As Yarnaby squirmed and slashed around frantically in a desperate attempt to put the flames out, Frosty simply laid limp against the ground, most of his fur having been burned off with his plastic face having been melted…he appeared to be alive though… Mr Sandman laid completely limp as well but that was only because he as trapped under some rubble.. Silas was more fortunate as he wasn’t buried, though all of the death was a very unpleasant sight… He immediately went to go and make sure that Mr Sandman was alright. The blast launched Pianosaurus back, causing his head to hit a machine and snap his neck. Doodle had curled up into a ball which protected her from most of the blast while Percival had used most of his body to make sure that Candi didn’t get hit, tanking most of it himself.

Mr Shortcake put a hand to his head. Ugh…headache… as he slowly got up, he looked around for any survivors before noticing…Percival.

Plasticine releases toxic fumes when it burns…

He gasped before immediately getting up and running, this caused other toys to notice and begin running as well. Candi was still being covered by Percival who appeared to be alive…just barely. She seemed to be knocked out…huh.. Doris had her leg impaled by a metal pipe and was acting absolutely wild about it, lashing out at everything nearby, though she was stopped when she suddenly got caught in a net by Rosalie, who just barely managed to regain her composure. Huggy was nearby. It took a few moments for him to react but he managed to push the crate off of him, revealing some of his now burnt fur, melted plastic and a couple exposed wounds. Oh..he really shouldn’t let A.I. see him like this.. he’d FLIP OUT!! Luckily there are no TVs in the place… he tried to get up but fell to the ground. Oh…his leg is twisted…great… he sighed before collapsing against the floor. God…he needs a break..

Maria, Caleb and Handyman all huddled together, in an attempt to avoid the explosion.. Maria slowly and hesitantly opened her eyes before looking around. Dark… is…is she dead..? She let out a shaky sigh before feeling around and touching someone. An arm? Felt like…skin…oh.. Okay…that’s Caleb… she felt around some more before her hand landed on what felt like other metal or plastic…very…heated metal or plastic. Ow… so that’s Handyman. She attempted to adjust her eyes to the darkness but..that was pretty hard.

Maria: “er…Caleb..? You there..?”

Caleb: “Uh..Yeah..? I’d hope so.”

Maria: “Okay…Handyman..?”

She heard the sound of creaking. Okay..good…good… as she felt around more her hand landed on a..bowtie? She blinked in confusion before picking it up and holding it to her face, trying to see it better. She can’t see it at all…but that was definitely fabric.

…

Where’s Clarance..?

Handyman pressed a hand against the ceiling?.. she’s kneeling down…the ceiling isn’t supposed to be that low.. with little to no effort, she slowly pushed whatever was covering them off of. She stood up and looked around…it was dark with a couple of lights flickering on and off…bodies everywhere.. she then looked down at what had protected them from the blast. It was completely black with a few cracks over it…

She looked closer before realizing…oh…thats..that’s Clarance.

…

Wait…THATS CLARANCE! Maria gasped in shock as she stared at him. Is he…is he DEAD!? No…he can’t be dead…she- she just TALKED to him! Not long ago they were just having a conversation! She looked around at everything else, multiple toys and experiments laying either limp against the floor or were barely moving at all. Her grip on the bowtie tightened…before she could even say anything, Handyman suddenly grabbed Maria and Caleb before rushing out of the opened door, wanting to leave before any of those experiments got back up…Caleb seemed…reasonably Shaken up from what happened. He just heard something explode, and wasn’t given any information on what’s happening! What happened? Did someone get hurt? Well…besides him throwing a crate on someone… He should ask questions later…

—————

It had been a few hours since that whole…fight. Handyman’s wings and chest area were properly bandaged up. Still uh…messed up, but it’s better than nothing. Clarance was going to help them up but the mannequin lightly pushed his hand away and stood up themself. Huh… Maria took note of that fact then turned to look at Caleb with a raised brow, just to see if he was fine. He seemed perfectly okay, well…he didn’t even see what happened…so it would only be expected that he’s perfectly fine. She then turned back to Clarance with a cautious look. Clarance looked around, examining their surroundings before letting out a hum. This is fine. He gave Maria a nod and started walking. Maria lightly tapped on Caleb’s arm, just barely remembering to avoid the shoulders. Luckily, Caleb got the memo and grabbed onto her hoodie to began following after the two, with Handyman purposely lagging behind. Clarance WOULD ask her who that mime was but er…he’d probably get no response. And a glare too judging by how much the two seemed to dislike each other. Nonetheless, the group continued walking. They didn’t know WHAT this place was…had tons of rooms like any other god awful place in this building, but all the doors seemed to be made of glass…and they all had poppy flowers in them. Clarance suddenly remembered something. The poppy flowers..they…they used those to bring the experiments to life, to preserve the organs and other vital things while they were in the toys bodies! He gulped. His memories flashed to that giant dough creature for a second..those three kids who…he…

🔷He suddenly punched himself🔷, causing Maria to take a sudden step back which caused Caleb to bump into her with a loud “oof”. Handyman glanced and walked to the front of the group, lightly pushing Clarance back in an attempt to switch places. Clarance shuttered and nodded before slowly moving to the back of the group. He usually did that whenever he remembered something he didn’t exactly want to. Handyman knew this…which is exactly why she wanted to switch places with him in the first place. It was…quiet…but in a different way. Nobody had anything to say. Or…more so…nobody WANTED to say anything…Maria grabbed onto the handle of her bat JUST incase she needed to pull it out for something. The group seemed safe. For now.

…

Where’s that weird TV guy that tried to kill them some hours ago?

—————

Yarnaby ran rampant through the halls, paying no attention to where he was going or what he was running into…he was just doing what his master told him to. As he ran, he got his leg caught in some sort of machinery and as a response, immediately began to tear and rip into it like a furious wild animal. Chester slowly snuck past him, knowing he’d probably get mauled if the lion took even a GLANCE at him. God…how’d he end up like this!? Just a chess piece? A pawn to be played with? He should’ve never gone about Leith’s orders but…the threats of being fired…NO of being KILLED…though…he has to admit…he’d rather have THAT than what he has to deal with now… Chester ignored the small Baba Chops plush that quickly walked by him, looking around for any sign of the past intruders. Huh. Tommy. Chester looked back at Yarnaby, noticing that the lion had finally finished its mini rampage and was continuing along, some of its yarn was torn out, revealing a bruises and wounds. Possibly from Harley. He usually did that to Chester too..though…he could take the hits. Better than being trapped in a small room for another week thanks to that…yellow…smiley face.

Chester walked over to a small hole in the wall then began to squeeze himself through it, it took some effort considering his short, stubby legs but he managed to make his way through and into some experimenting rooms. Filled with red smoke. It was like a maze. He held his breath as he walked through, taking small note of the small experiments that laid on the beds in the different rooms. He then found the door. It was open. He walked through then entered an empty room. Hmm…

Chester looked up at a vent. Huh….guess he’ll need a ladder for this.

—————

Huggy walked past Catnap. He wanted to ask him about…Maury, about Mr Sandman, about all the recent stuff that’s been happening but he knew that certain information like that was only for Catnap and the other scientists to know. That’s exactly why he’s going to Boxy instead. He knew that A.I. seemed to be with some…girl in blue. He never actually got a name from the kid…but he did remember that her jacket was a sort of…dulled-down Azurite blue. She seemed rather smart. Much more thoughtful than Lucky was. It was very obvious who was the brain and who was the brawn. Huggy’s whole symbolism is strength! That’s what he represents…but god. Lucky sure is just so…LUCKY. Because he’s 90% sure she should’ve been either caught or DEAD by now…and while he does NOT want to hurt the kid, at this point, they MIGHT have to. Because who KNOWS how much she knows? Not to mention she’s a cold blooded KILLER. Sure, Huggy kills people all the time but THATS because they were stupid enough to trespass on Playtime Co grounds! And by the order of The Prototype anyways! He let out a small growl then huffed as he put a hand to his head. They’ve captured adults, experiments, rebellious toys…and they can’t even catch a couple of KIDS!? He’s gonna get KILLED in like…5 DAYS if he doesn’t CATCH THOSE TWO! The blind boy wouldn’t even be an issue if he weren’t helping her! This was really stressing him out and the fact that so many experiments are being found OUTSIDE their cells is NOT HELPING!! He suddenly stopped when a small smiling critter tapped on his leg. They must’ve heard his frustrated growling. He slowly looked down at the Hoppy Smiling Critter as she looked up at him

Skippy: “are you okay..?”

He blinked before giving a nod and a thumbs up. This luckily seemed to satisfy the small critter as she nodded and quickly ran off again. In the same direction that Catnap was going. It must be important…Anyways, off to go and find Boxy Boo.

—————

Mommy silently watched from above as all of the kids played and had fun. She’d normally be smiling happily at the sight but today…she wasn’t in the mood. She would be out looking for Maria and Caleb, but she had to stay here. Make sure that no more got out, that no more tried to leave. Maria and Caleb were already missing and she almost can’t believe that Azure of all orphans had snuck out from under their noses. She was supposed to be the MOTHER of this place! What kind of mother was she if she couldn’t even notice one of the most frequently visiting orphans being gone!? Azure ALWAYS comes up to the game station and last time she sees her is at a MEETING!? She grumbled to herself with a blank expression as she stared down at the kids. So many of them. And yet…so many missing. Maury would normally be here…but The Prototype…oh…god…she didn’t even want to think about him. About the horrible things he could do to her and so many other toys. 5 days…just 5..that’s ALL they got.. she’s rather greatful to Huggy for convincing the giant hunk of flesh and metal to give them more time as the four of them would’ve been dead by now if it weren’t for his brains but…just 5 days…? That’s absurd!

Mommy looked away for just a second to check up on Stella. Oh…right she’s uh…she’s with Hoppy. Frosty wasn’t available at the moment and neither was A.I. so she simply left the small toy with Hoppy. She knows who she is. She can recognize the person who baby long legs is from a mile away…but…she just didn’t care. She saw her tape…how she wanted to be oh, so young again and you know what? She got her wish. Now she’s back to square one! A baby, so tiny and vulnerable….something so easy to break…that’s exactly what she wanted, wasn’t it? Well she definitely got it. And she seemed to be enjoying it, she stopped complaining 7 years ago about her predicament. It was adorable! She almost acted just like a little baby now! Well…aside from her moments of remembering who she was. Mommy hated those moments. She’d be just…SO DEFIANT… almost made her want to-

Mommy looked back down at the orphans. She shouldn’t be thinking of this right now, not while she has work to do! She swears…if those 3 don’t find those kids by the second to last day then she’ll go and do it HERSELF. For now…she’s feeling rather exhausted. She should go and grab Bunzo, maybe he can make himself useful. Give her a small break. Or…better yet…he’ll go and look for those two. Yes…he’d do that. After all, she represents family. And he’d do ANYTHING for family! Wouldn’t he?

—————

Catnap slowly walked into the room with a mass of little smiling critters following after him. Hero stood still next to Mr Shortcake and Bubba as they stared at an empty cell. Mr Shortcake let out a hum as Bubba crossed his arms and shook his head. Hero seemed like she didn’t want to be here though…she never exactly voiced it. Bubba looked at Catnap then sighed.

Bubba: “another one got out.”

Catnap: “another?”

Hero: “Of course…” …. “Hey, atleast “you know who” couldn’tve gotten out”

Bubba: “Oh..she..also got out. We believe one of the other escapees grabbed her before they escaped.”

Hero: “…MOTHERFU-“

Hero suddenly closed her mouth and took a deep breath, Mr Shortcake cautiously spoke up, not wanting to set her off more than she already was.

Mr Shortcake: “🩵…we’ve…made…a small list. A small list of all the experiments currently escaped. A toy is up here too but…she’s violent enough to be considered an experiment.🩵”

Mr Shortcake pulled out a piece of paper then handed it to Catnap, listing the names of all the experiments who have escaped. His eyes widened at the large amount. His jaw would’ve dropped if it could open up any more than it already was.. Bubba, Hero and Mr Shortcake silently anticipated his reaction, knowing the large feline toy wouldn’t be happy to hear this. And even MORE unhappy if The Prototype found out..

Catnap silently stared at the list before slowly lowering it, he began to tighten his fist, crumbling up the paper and even tearing it a bit with his claws before looking at the group with a…glint…in his eyes. One that NONE of them liked…or even…recognized.

Catnap: “You mean to tell me…that we…have 18 EXPERIMENTS GONE LOSE!?!? WHERE IS SECURITY?!”

Everyone flinched back at Catnap’s sudden outburst. He usually didn’t…freak out like this. He was actually quite timid, more so…mysterious? While a reaction like this was reasonable, it was certainly unexpected from the group. Mr Shortcake slowly backed away as Bubba defensively raised his hands. A few smiling critters cowered behind some equipment.

Bubba: “Security is trying their best! They’re just…”

Mr Shortcake: “🩵Ca- Theodore, do you truly expect all of security to catch 18 hostile experiments? Patience, please…I’m sure they’re on it as we speak!🩵”

Hero quickly nodded in defense of Mr Shortcake before quickly leaving and heading out the door. Multiple critters watched as she quickly walked off before turning back to the small group. Catnap put his paper down before speaking up again, he was DEFINITELY not happy..

Catnap: “…I don’t think you all understand…Clarance, Bolt, Coo-Coo, Silencer, Bernie, Doodle, Doris AND Dainty are all out, and I’m not even counting the others because these are some of the most VIOLENT experiments THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH…and THE PROTOTYPE…would NOT. BE. HAPPY.”

Catnap was about to continue when he suddenly realized something. Wait a minute…Silencer is out? Isn’t A.I. supposed to be keeping her locked away? Why did he not mention that during their last meeting!? Is he insane!? Well…he IS…but that is NOT an excuse! Catnap’s mind suddenly went to Boxy and Huggy who have definitely not caught ANYBODY. What is UP with those two!? He remembered walking past the blue toy in the hallways and he SAW the look on his eyes…he is DEFINITELY hiding something! Catnap huffed then slowly lowered the paper before walking out, leaving Bubba with Mr Shortcake. As Catnap walked out he silently thought to himself. He’s supposed to be a leader. He represents well..dreams. But honestly, he is NOT LIVING THE DREAM RIGHT NOW. 5 days. That’s ALL they have to catch those two kids and he feels like that some toys aren’t even making an EFFORT to GET them. Yes they got useful news from A.I. and the smiley girl but that’s NOTHING against 2 missing orphans and 18 MISSING EXPERIMENTS. THAT IS 20 THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. He made a PROMISE to The Prototype, to his GOD that he would NOT fail him and he is going to KEEP that promise even if he has to sacrifice himself DOING IT.

Where’s Miss Delight? Perhaps she can help….

—————

Doey quickly sped walked through the halls, attempting to avoid…Frosty. As much as he wanted to talk to the other toy he was just…too…cold. Far too cold, it gave him awful memories from when he was back in his cell. He could be at Playcare right now but..he was too worried about finding those two kids. They could’ve gotten hurt, or worse. One of them killed Hixel so…they definitely need to be taken care of. He doesn’t want to kill them, no, not at all. He just wants them to go back to Playcare so that everything can be back to normal. 🟡So that he could go back home🟡- No…no. He doesn’t…have one of those anymore. Well…not the one he used to anyways. He cared a lot about the other toys here, about Scout, Kissy, Dogday… but The Prototype…ugh.. The Prototype… he’d never say it to his face but he hated him. They could’ve all left by now.

No…HE could’ve left…he doesn’t have to stay here but…he has a job..he’s a leader, his whole…thing…the thing he represents is trust and to him, that means he CANNOT LEAVE. He has to stay here and play his part. Just play his part, that’s all, do that and everything will be okay. That’s what he keeps saying to himself. He wouldn’t be here in the FIRST place if it weren’t for that…THAT SCIENTIST.. he knows that he’s not just him that…that there are other people in there with him but he just can’t help but get ANGRY when he sees him. He can’t help but only see that…🟪AWFUL, CRUEL, MEAN MAN WHO MADE HIM LIKE THIS🟪. Clarance the Clayman. That’s a FUNNY little pun on his name. Doey sighed and shook his head to stop thinking about him for a moment. Right…back to the original plan. Alright…so…what he has to do is go and get Dogday, inform Rosalie and some of security to check the lower floors, and find the orphans. 5 days. That’s all he has left to do this before…HE…does something awful to him. And he doesn’t want to know what. Rosalie is great at catching experiments and intruders…he’ll send her out. As he was walking, he suddenly saw him.

Doey: “🟧Dogday! I need you over here for a moment…it’s very important.🟧”

—————

Melly silently watched from the shadows as multiple different experiments ran rampant, causing havoc around the place. She saw a cheetah-like toy speed past her then turned her head to see…Doris. Oh. Doris.. She ran after the large dragon as she left. As she did this, other experiments were attempting to escape. Hysteria climbed up to the bridge above, causing other experiments to attempt to join. Sunnie was already to the top and running through the door, though she was running through the opens ones, not the closed ones that seemed to be covered in clay. Bernie followed after Bolt as he made his way to the nearest elevator while Dainty stopped a few other experiments, stepping in front of them. She could use these four little guys to escape… Figaro hid behind a large crate as one experiment even attacked another, not wanting to get caught in the cross fire. Sock-It walked by…though..he was probably trying to find some place more quiet to sleep. It was…so loud.

….

Too loud…

Everyone suddenly cleared the area as loud banging was heard…that could only be non-other than…Silencer. It barely took a second before she suddenly burst through the door, charging at anybody who made even the smallest peep. Some experiments used this to get others attacked, other experiments tried to escape faster. It was too loud. FAR too loud. She seemed to be still freaking out over that shriek that Mr Sandman let out a while ago…

Azure took quiet, careful steps down the lit up, grey halls. It was the afternoon at this point. Plenty of people could be roaming around. She gulped and lightly clutched onto her bag. Ughhh…why’d she have to come up here? Was she stupid? Dumb? All she knows is that this…is probably one of the WORST decisions she’s ever made in her entire life. She was shaking with every step she took. It was quiet. Too quiet… she liked the quiet but not like this. Not in such an unfamiliar place. She pulled her mini notebook out of her small, smiley face bag before grabbing her pencil along with it. She began to write down her thoughts into it while also keeping her eyes and ears peered for any danger.

“So it’s been a while since I’ve seen Maria. At least a day. Maybe more? A day and a half? I don’t know. I just know she’s been gone for a while. I’m walking down a dark hallway. Empty, except for the occasional TV or two. Red stuff. Hopefully not what I think it is. And there are giant prints in the floor. It reeks here. Awfully metallic. Maybe blood. Did someone get hurt? Hopefully not. I just hope that no security guards find me.”

She continued to write quickly yet neatly, slowly losing focus of her surroundings before she suddenly heard a voice. She jolted up and frantically looked around. Ohh no…busted… Who said that? She’d gonna be in SO much trouble! Eventually, her eyes landed on a TV that seemed to be place directly next to what seemed to be a broom closet with a mop lying outside of it. Azure rose a brow. No…the TV didn’t talk. Pfft, she’s not stupid!

….or did it? She can never be sure… Azure look a small step towards the TV. Nothing.. She narrowed her eyes and grabbed the mop before poking the TV with the stick. Huh…maybe it IS just her head… she turned around and was about to walk away when she heard it…a voice. She definitely heard someone say “Hey! Listen!”. She snapped back around, looking frantically and yet she STILL saw nothing but that TV. Alright. Maybe she’s just losing her mind now. She stared at the TV just a BIT longer before finally…she got a response. From the TV.

A.I.: “Ooooooh Busted…”

Azure shrieked when she heard this, oh my god. It just talked. The TV just TALKED. So she’s NOT crazy then…that’s…at least relieving. But either way, a LITERAL TV is talking to her…THAT is TERRIFYING. She was about to completely bolt in the opposite direction when the TV suddenly made a loud noise in an attempt to gain her attention.

Azure suddenly froze at that, almost as if on command. Her eyes were wide as she listened closely to whatever this…weird…TV headed thing had to say.

Before this, things were uh..pretty intense. A.I. had just come back from Checking up on Mr Sandman and trying to find Silencer. Mr Sandman’s leg looked…literally unusable with how that machine had it pressed down. He was 90% sure that green girl had done that on purpose. She literally slammed a bat into Pianosaurus’ face when they first caught her outside of playcare, which he recovered from. She killed Hixel and he’s sure she doesn’t mind adding onto that kill count! She’s definitely gonna get it when they end up catching her. Which they WILL. He looked back down at Azure, taking note of the fact that she was just as still as a statue, listening as closely as she could to whatever he had to say. Huh. This one seems less snappy than the other two. More listening and less attacking. After what felt like years of silence, Azure cautiously spoke up, attempting not to stutter but failing to do so anyways. Wow. She’s embarassing herself. In front of a TV of all things.

Azure: “Uh..w-who are you?"

A.I.: "Me? Well I'm A.I.!... yes, that's my actual name... But, who are YOU? Shouldn't you be in playcare?"

Azure was hesitant for a moment, feeling a bit well- guilty that she got caught breaking the rules. But she’s been caught…suppose she should answer anyways.

Azure: "Well- yeah. But uh. I was just- looking.. for someone."

A.I.: “Someone? Who? If you don't mind me asking.

Azure took note of the fact that the TV had said the last part in a sort of, joking way. …doesn’t do much to ease her anxiety but it’s something.

Azure: “Jjjust my sister. I..haven't seen her in playcare for a while and I WOULDVE asked one of the caretakers but uh.. I don't think any of them like her very much."

A.I.: “Now that I think about it I have seen a kid around... I gotta ask, does your sister, who looks nothing like you by the way, wear green?"

Azure: ".Yes? How'd you know?"

A.I.: "...Let's just say she likes smashing things... EXPENSIVE things... and also may or may not have caused a lot of chaos recently... "

Ah…smashing things. That um…that sounds about right for Maria. But wait…that means he knows something!

Azure: "Wait! So...you've seen her! She's around here?!”

A.l.: "Last I saw she ran off... I honestly have no idea what the place looks like from a "normal person's" perspective but things were a bit crazy back there... those screams will haunt my digital nightmares for atleast a week...”

A.I. muttered that last part, those screams were some of the most blood curdling he’s ever heard in his LIFE. Definitely wouldn’t wanna hear that again.

A.I.: “All I know is she isn't nearby "

Screams? What does he mean screams?! Is she okay? Did she get hurt? Azure immediately seemed worried at the potential idea of her sister being hurt or injured.

Azure: “What? Screams!? She's okay though, right?!”

A.I.: They weren't HER screams ...she did cause them though... she's been nothing but pure violence and I thought HE was the violent one here...

A.I. muttered that last part as well, clearly referring to someone but…Azure didn’t know who. She doesn’t exactly WANT to know who..

Azure: "oh..."

Azure fell quiet. She gulped before finally speaking up again. She knows how er- violent Maria is to things that she doesn’t consider “living”. The toys…she always seemed to hate them with a burning passion. Azure didn’t know why but..she wasn’t gonna pry about it to her.

Azure: "well, are YOU okay? I mean- you DID say that you saw her and uh..she can be a bit…mean…sometimes"

A.I.: “Yeah, annoyingly she did smash SEVERAL TVs... seriously does nobody know how expensive those are...? I'm fine but I doubt Sandy is... she really did a number on him... not as bad as Hix though...”

Azure: “Oh- I’m reallly sorry that she did that to you! And whoever the other two are. She's uh, been acting pretty strange for the past week. Oddly…before she..left too." … “oh wait! You said she was breaking other TVs, right?”

A.I.: "yup, really annoying... and what She did to those two was gruesome... I mean, sure hix put a chip in her which is all kinds of messed up, but MURDER?!... and then she pulverized Sandy's leg... I don't think he's gonna be moving for a long, Long while..."

Azure: “Wait…SHE KILLED SOMEONE!?”

A.I.: "Those screams are definitely gonna haunt me for a while... I mean he WAS kinda asking for it when he planted a chip in the kid, but MURDER!? YEESH... "

Azure: "ohhh my god....she killed someone..”

She said in a shaken, terrified manner. Maria KILLED someone…okay…she’s DEFINITELY acting out then.. Azure knew that Maria didn’t like some people but she KILLED someone?? Hearing that, she was starting to grow a bit worried for the TV- er…A.I. that was right in front of her. She’d probably smash it if given the chance.

Azure: "well...if she's been acting out, I wouldn't want for her to hurt you or anything..." … “Oh! I got it!"

Azure then turned and ran into the closet next to the TV. A.I. could hear her rummaging around in there for…what? He doesn’t know. What is she even doing? He attempted to call out to her to see what she was doing, his tone confused and flat.

A.I.: “Kid? What?”

When she finished, Azure quickly walked out of the room with a step stool, scissors, a belt and….what looked like a screw driver with some screws. She then put the stool down and climbed up it. She placed her hands on the TV and attempted to use whatever strength she had to carefully snap it off the wall.

Azure: "Don't worry! This won't hurt!… Hopefully."

A.I. was silent, confused as to…what was going on. Reasonably so… He hasn’t even gotten an explanation for what this kid is doing. It took around…maybe a minute or two, but when she was done, she got up and admired her work. She had the belt into two and screw it onto the back of the TV in a sort of..”backpack" way. Apparently this kid doesn't know that A.l. can switch between TVs… meh. Anyways, She then picked the TV up, but didn't put it on or anything.

Azure: "There! Now if she tries to hurt you, she'll have to go through me. I mean- cmon! she wouldn't hurt her SISTER!” ... "I think so at least??”

A.I.: "well- okay then! So. Where are you gonna go?

A.I. wasn’t exactly…ASKING. More so saying it. Azure didn’t seem to get this though…either that or she was ignoring the fact all together.

Azure: "Look for my sister! I uh...You seem to know a bit about this place...so I was hoping..you'd help me out?"

A.I.: "Look, kid... you’re definitely not gonna last just wandering around. Everyone's going nuts with two of you already running around everywhere like weasels on a sugar rush... if you start looking, things aren't gonna go well...” … “I have an idea though. Go to that security office down the hall."

Azure rose a brow but hey..this guy seems pretty nice so far! She complied and started to walk down the hall, looking around before walking into the security office.”

Azure: "Okay, now what?"

A.I.: “I'm just gonna send a quick message to the boss- then you need to go to the meeting room down the hall out the other door in here in front of you. It's at the very end. Got that kid?"

Azure: "Oh- okay!"

She patiently waited for him to send a message to...this "boss" he was talking about. She would ask A.I. about him but hey, not her business to know though, is it? After he was done, she quickly began to make her way out of the room and towards where he wanted her to go. She walked into the meeting room and looked around. Huh…big. She looked at the chairs. They had names on them. Doey, Catnap, Mommy and Huggy..? She didn’t know that Doey and Mommy went here sometimes. But…who’s Catnap? And Huggy? She walked over to the large table and set A.I. down.

A.I.: “so since we’re waiting, do you know about my buddy, Huggy?”

Azure: “Oh…you mean..Kissy?”

A.I.: “No? Huggy. You know, the mascot. The guy whose face is planted literally everywhere from the small rooms to the front entrance.”

Azure: “Ohhh, that guy. I didn’t…think he was real to be honest. We never saw him at Playcare before..”

A.I.: “oh well, he’s a pretty busy guy…VERY busy… But he’s my best friend! You’ll get to see him when he shows up.”

Azure: “Really? He’s not…MEAN or anything..is he?..”

A.I.: “Nope, nicest guy I’ve ever met!”

Azure: “Oh-! Well…I hope he likes me.”

Just as Azure said that, four large toys walked into the room. She immediately took a step back and watched in shock as the four of them sat down in their separate seats. Oh…they’re big…REALLY big.. She knew that Mommy and Doey were pretty big toys but she’s 90% sure that they could crush her if they wanted to. The four toys stared down at the two, seeming rather confused and bored as to what they wanted. Huggy looked at A.I., waiting for him to speak up.

A.I.: “Hey, Huggy! Been a while since we’ve talked…especially after you ignored me.”

Huggy blinked, almost paying attention to the more disappointed tone in A.I.’s voice but managing to ignore it all together. He didn’t MEAN to ignore his friend..he was just.. busy.

A.I.: “But anyways…I managed to find this kid who was running around, but get this…she just so happens to know the green kid who’s been running around causing havoc all over the place! So I was thinking, she could help us find the kid! Sure she doesn’t know the other one but just one of them is all we need to know about to catch them both! So basically, I keep her safe and she gets us the kid back.”

The four of them stared at A.I. he…makes a very good point…but something feels wrong about this. They know he’s already asked The Prototype.. Doey then spoke up, his tone serious and doubtful.

Doey: “are you SURE you’ll keep her safe? You promise?”

A.I.: “Swear on it.”

Mommy: “well then..You better not be lying, A.I.”

Huggy narrowed his eyes at Mommy. A.I. wasn’t really known for lying, more like being a little shit to intruders and being…insanely clingy..but he wasn’t a liar. He was about to start writing when Azure suddenly spoke up, immediately moving to defend A.I.’s case

Azure: “I’m sure he’s not lying! He’ll protect me!”

Azure smiled in an attempt to get through to the four. All the four leaders were still silent before eventually, Huggy gave a thumbs up of approval. Slowly, the other 3 began to agree as well, though Doey was a bit more reluctant than the other two. Azure grinned and picked up, A.I.

A.I.: “Great! Onward we go then!”

—————

Maria and Caleb walked as quietly as possible. Everything was dead silent…awfully silent… Caleb had an idea as to why it was suddenly so quiet but…he didn’t wanna think that it was what he THOUGHT it was. He still remembered what happened those 5 hours ago, sure, he didn’t see much of what happened due to…you know…but whoever was chasing him dropped some PRETTY heavy stuff. Like…who’s A.I.?? Silas!? Heck- who even is Nancy!? Was it the thing that was chasing them earlier? He didn’t know…he just continued to follow after Maria, holding tightly onto the back of her jacket as to not lose her.

Maria looked around before frowning. No stairs, no extra rooms…nothing. No where to go except…down. She looked over to the elevator before letting out an uncomfortable groan and turned back around, causing Caleb to let go of her. Maybe…they could find something. A source to communicate with eachother even when they’re apart. After being alone with that crazy TV, having to run from that sound-sensitive monster and that ant…god. That gigantic ant. Was he even a toy?? Looked more like god’s worst creation to her… either way, she eventually found something laying under a table in the middle of the hall. There were two torn, beaten and shredded toys lying dead next to two phones. Creepy…but it’ll have to do. Maria picked the phones up, wiping some blood off of them before walking back over to Caleb.

Maria: “ey, I found a couple of phones. You think we could talk to each other this way? Incase we get separated again.”

Caleb: “oh! Definitely. Would be useful too.”

Maria: “Great.”

Maria handed Caleb one phone and began to tamper with the one she had kept. Just as she began to do this, she heard running coming from down the halls. God…not again! She braced herself to come face to face with another random toy or experiment but was surprised to see Handyman and Clarance making their way down the hall towards them. She shakily sighed in relief before taking a step forward towards them, handing Clarance the phone he had before he could speak. He looked down at it in surprise before looking back up at Maria. Some of his clay seemed to be a bit…uneven. As if someone had been pulling and tampering with it. This caught Maria’s attention but she ignored this fact for now to explain what she had found.

Maria: “Clarance! Handyman! We found a couple of phones. We were thinking that we could communicate incase we get separated again.”

Clarance: “🟪I- oh….so you two are okay then, yes?🟪 - 🟢We’ve been looking everywhere for you two.🟢 - 🟪especially after that deafening shriek.🟪”

Caleb: “We’re fine.”

Clarance: “🟪Good…now, about these phones…🟪”

Clarance gave it a couple of taps, gaining Handyman’s attention as well. He hummed and tilted his head before nodding

Clarance: “🟪Hm…impressive. And to think that they were smart enough to make more of these despite previously being in-…🟪”

Clarance suddenly paused before shaking his head and clearing his throat.

Clarance: “🔷R-Right. It’s a good thing we have these.🔷 - 🟪You kids are very clever. Now cmon. Let’s go🟪.”

The group seemed to agree on this and made their way over to the elevator. Maria wondered how everyone at playcare was doing…she thought about Azure for a moment but brushed the thought away.

—————

Kissy was desperately attempting to calm down the many panicked children in Playcare, some crying, some froze, some didnt even care. The scream had scared the caretakers just as much as everyone else. Connie was busy taking some kids to her Sleepy Time area in an attempt to ease some tension while Vile assured some children that it was simply just some incredibly good acting, though…he was just scared out as those kids..he’s never heard a scream THAT loud before..Yeesh. Whoever screamed like that must’ve been some…5 star actor or something. Rosalie was also attempting to reassure the children that everything was fine though she seemed to have been doing a better job at it than Vile was. She rubbed her head, attempting to remember how her father would do it whenever she was scared or needed reassurance. Eventually, Doey came down and cleared his throat.

Doey: “🟧Everyone just calm down! Everything is perfectly fine and under control.🟧”

Aether: “What was that scream? And the yelling? Did something happen?”

Doey: “🟧One of our…🟧 -🔻helpers..🔻 - 🟧just got his leg caught in something. Hes….🟧 - 🟡Everything is perfectly fine though!🟡”

Kissy nodded in an attempt to back him up while Rosalie seemed relived that the situation was being handled better than what was originally happening. All the orphans were still…reasonably shaken but seemed just the slightest bit more relived at the reassurance. Rosalie silently thought about her father for a moment before standing up and ushering some children to the Playhouse. Maybe a few games will help get their mind off stuff. Vile noticed this and quickly followed after her. Doey watched as the orphans all slowly but surely began to go back to their previous spots before the…incident. Good. He pulled out his phone and walked over to the school, making sure that nobody could hear him before speaking up

Doey: “Ca- er…Theodore? Yes…it’s Doey. How is he?” …. “The prototype? Well…if you say so, then I can’t complain. I’ll call you back later. Oh…and…tell him that we got the situation settled back down here at Playcare. They’re..all still pretty shaken up but the caretakers, and a few experiments… are handling it.” … “right. I’ll call back when I need something from you.”

Doey hung up the phone call and slowly but surely shoved the phone back into his doughy body. Ew…but okay. He then made his way over to Medic who was just making his way down to Playcare.

Doey: “🟧Medic? How are the patients? Not too shaken up still, are they?🟧”

Medic: “They’re managing. Hoppy just delivered some supplies so that was quite useful.”

Doey: “🟧Good…good. I’ll go get some food from the kitchen. Hopefully Candy cat, Picky and Pizzaman made something good. We don’t want another panic to happen down here. In the meantime, I have an idea to make security more accurate with our er….🟧 -🔻recent death..🔻”

Medic: “Yes…Hixel.” … “How’s Mr Shortcake doing?”

Doey: “🟧I’m..not sure. I haven’t gotten time to check up on him with everything going on recently.🟧 - 🟡I just hope he’s okay..🟡”

Medic: “…I see. Well then, I’ll be going back to working. Don’t overwork yourself.”

Doey: “🟧I won’t. And…thank you.🟧”

Medic: “No problem. I’m just doing my job.”

—————

Voloveoraptor quickly darted through the security halls before stopping when he saw it. The security room. After making sure that nobody was watching, he tried to open the door but found it locked. Darn it…! He growled and went to punch the door but managed to calm himself down. Right…back to the mission at hand. He took a deep breath and counted to ten then continued down the halls. As he ran, he finally saw it. An elevator up to the higher floors. He ran over to it and quickly stepped inside, allowing it to take him back up.

—————

A.I. looked around, flipping through every TV he could but…nothing. He lost her. Dang… He stopped what he was doing before his thoughts briefly drifted back to earlier. He managed to cut the thought out of his head though. He knew it was one sided, but it was definitely still more than rude of them to do that. He thought they were brothers! He flipped to another TV before eventually deciding to head back up to see if maybe she had wandered up there. He noticed the raptor that he once saw before running by and attempted to follow him but slowly ran out of TVs. He needs to tell Huggy about that too then…hopefully he still isn’t insanely busy. He hasn’t gotten to talk to him in a while..in the meantime, he’s gonna look for Silencer again. Hopefully she hasn’t mauled anybody yet.

—————

The group slowly descended down. The elevators seem to be in tip top shape. These toys really kept the place clean…well- as clean as they COULD as some rooms were either empty or had way too much in them. It was like they were children who couldn’t make up their room. They reached a new floor. A different one. It seemed like the warehouse that Maria and Caleb were in before but it was much smaller and seemed to have tools everywhere except toys, not to mention it seemed to have a giant bridge up near the high ceiling. They looked up and saw the bridge. It was completely intact..Infact…looks like it just got fixed up. Odd. Clarance continued along with Maria and Caleb but Handyman paused…they’ve been here before…many times before. They “narrowed” their eyes and looked around before looking up and deciding to peer in closer to the bridge above. A shadow…they began to eye the strange shadow hanging over them. Was that…a toy? Wait. Handyman recognizes this experiment. Oh. Her. They squinted in an attempt to glare at the experiment from above who let out a glitchy laugh and came falling down in front of the group. Doodle.

Doodle: “little dove, i didnt think id f-f-find you a-around here! And s-s-some f-friends too? Oh how fun-un!”

The experiment didn’t seem to have a specific voice…more like she was using previous things said from other toys, experiments and even orphans then replaying them. Her voice was filled with static too..along with constant glitching. It reminded Maria of Hixel’s own voice. Handyman glared at the nickname. Ugh…not this stupid mime… Handyman and Doodle had a rather…tense…relationship. Mostly consisting of constant fights or Handyman getting beaten then dropped on their back and Clarance knows from experience that Handyman HATES it when things touch their wings. Doodle looked over at Maria and Caleb who seeemd to be slowly backing away from her before grinning and speaking up again, more mockingly this time though.

Doodle: “children? Now why would you bring them s-somewhere so dangerous!? The p-prototype wont like thisss” tsk tsk “To think they-yy call you a a-angel, little devil!”

Handyman: “..Buzz off, Doodle.”

Maria and Caleb blinked in surprise. THEY CAN TALK!? Clarance looked at Handyman with widened eyes. Oh. This is serious… Handyman huffed, knowing this mime experiment wasn’t gonna just leave without pestering the group…she clearly wants something, and Handyman knows EXACTLY what it is. To Handyman, this is personal. They took a step forward and cracked their knuckles. Oh…so they want to fight then, huh?

Doodle: “so the c-chicken wants to fight? Ill enjoy-y this~”

Clarance was about to protest this but Handyman put a hand on him, gently pushing him back. He looked back at Doodle then down at Handyman again before sighing and stepping away, lightly pushing Maria and Caleb back with him. He quickly grabbed the two and back away to a safer part of the room before setting them down. As much as he didn’t want this…jumping her just felt…wrong. Not to mention, Handyman was being VERY clear about the fact that this was personal and he wasn’t about to put him and two children in the way of some personal drama. And he doesn’t want Handyman to put a metal pole up to his throat again…

Doodle grinned maliciously at the sight. She hasn’t gotten to fight Handyman in a looonggg while and she’s OFFERING to do a 1v1? This day couldn’t get any better! She took a step back and quickly stretched her arms out to try and grab Handyman. Luckily, Handyman managed to move out of the way of her left arm before stomping on her right one. Doodle quickly turned her left arm back around with the intention to grab onto Handyman’s wings but Handyman quickly turned around, catching her hand whilst stepping off of the other one. Doodle laughed using Handyman’s old voice(which seemed to anger the other)before swinging her arm to throw Handyman at the nearby wall. Handyman blinked in surprise and braced themself for the impact but was grabbed by the leg and flung to the ceiling before being slammed back down on their back. An agonizing pain shot through their spine, causing them to let out a choked and pained gasp.

Doodle: “d-d-dawwwww did that h-hurt?”

Handyman “glared” at her and shakily began to get back up, ignoring the pain in their back. When they recovered(which didn’t take too long), they threw a punch at Doodle but unfortunately, had their hand caught and twisted. Fortunately for Handyman, their hands don’t have nerves in them. Handyman gave Doodle a deadpanned look before biting down on her hand. Doodle gasped in pain before growling at the other.

Doodle: “you little d-devil!”

Doodle barely got a chance to react further before she was flung to the side but before she could hit the floor, she reached out and grabbed onto Handyman’s wings before chucking her into a pile of wooden crates. A pop along with some tearing was heard from feathers being torn from the mannequin’s wings, with one being completely dislocated, though luckily not torn off completely. Handyman seemed to say down after this, though not unconscious. The pain was too much for her to even want to get back up anyway. Doodle snickered and let go of Handyman’s feathers, letting them slowly fall to the floor before slowly walking over to her.

Doodle: “whats wron-n-ng? little cherub n-n-ever learned to fl-y-y?”

Handyman coughed before attempting to life up their hand to make a…certain hand gesture…but was simply unable to. They watched silently as Doodle began to approach them. Aw great…this again? Handyman “glared” again. Ugh..they HATE this girl. Even more so now that they’ve practically plucked her feathers. Seeing this, Clarance quickly grabbed Handyman, Maria and Caleb before climbing up to the bridge above as quickly as he could, trying to get away from the other experiment. Doodle quickly noticed this then attempted to chase after the group when she reached the top and looked over to the pair of doors at the end of the bridge, she saw them closed. She laughed to herself before slowly lowering herself back down. She’ll see them again. She just knows it.

Doodle: “ohh…p-parting is such sweet…t-tragedy-yyy…..b-bye bye little birdie! Ill s-see y-YOU later!”

She laughed. She seemed to ALWAYS be able to get her to speak. She was probably one of the ONLY experiments who was able to get Handyman to actually USE her voice. She retreated back into the shadows as a black cat toy with a claw for a tail walked into the room. Oh, it’s Melly! She watched silently as the other toy looked around. She WOULD mess with her..get a laugh out of tormenting her…but trying to clip that angel’s wings was far more fun.

(Icanexplainwhythisnameisbad helped me with A.I.’s dialogue!)

—————

Azure walked through the cold, dark halls with A.I. strapped to her back. She held tightly onto the straps on the TV as to make sure he didn’t fall or hit the ground under ANY circumstances. She wouldn’t wanna hurt him after all… they had left the room as SOON as they confirmed that everything was safe and she wouldn’t wanna cause an injury immediately after. Everything appeared to be as if it were night. Well- she can’t tell…there aren’t any windows around here..but she’s sure that it only appears this way because of all the ruckus that Maria’s been causing. It’s only reasonable that the toys would wanna close everything down if her sister’s going around and literally KILLING people! Where’d she even…GET that-? Sure, Azure knew that Maria could be snappy and harsh with the toys, sometimes even a little difficult or physically aggressive but killing someone was a whole new low! Maybe she’s just not feeling well?? After all, Azure acts WILDLY different when she’s not feeling well.. not as…aggressive as Maria, but different nonetheless. Either way…the search for her sister shouldn’t be TOO hard. After all, with the help of A.I., they should be able to find and stop her in no time! Speaking of A.I...

Azure looked back at the TV strapped to her back JUST to check up on him and make sure he was doing good. Ah…he was rambling about..something she doesn’t quite know of. She let out a small hum before reaching into her smiley bag and pulling out a pencil and a journal. She began to write..

“It’s dark and cold in these hallways but it’s logically not night yet. They must’ve closed everything down because of Maria. I’m currently traveling with a TV? No. An artificial intelligence. It’s weird, he acts almost human. As if he isn’t a robot at all. Though that’s just what artificial intelligence are. He seems to talk a lot but not in a way where it isn’t welcoming. I have my headphones on anyways so if it really annoyed me, I could just tune him out. Not that I want to, his topics are interesting. He may be one of the nicest toys I’ve ever seen judging from his demeanor and attitude. He offered to help me find my sister. That’s pretty kind of him. Been thinking about possibly installing wheels or limbs onto him though I doubt he’d be able to move them. He’s just a TV after all, it’s not like it’s a situation with limbless animals. They can still move and have the ability to control given prosthetic limbs. A TV on the other hand logically shouldn’t be able to do that so I may just be stuck with carrying him on my back. I can easily tell him apart from the other TVs in this place but he just looks so bland. He could use some more color. Maybe I can find some coloring or maybe create some pins for him. For now, he’s gonna look pretty boring. He could really use a make over or something.”

Azure looked down at what she wrote. Hm..this is fine. She snapped her book shut and quickly put it back, zipping up her bag as she returned her attention to A.I.. Azure walked over to what appeared to be an office room before entering it. This seemed to catch A.I.’s attention because he immediately dropped what he was talking about to instead pay some more attention to whatever she was doing.

A.I.: “Hey, What are you doing?”

Azure: “I’m just…looking for something.”

Azure made sure to close and lock the door behind her. She then walked over to a nearby computer and began to quickly type on it. She was looking for something… after a minute or two of searching, she managed to find the email from before. There it is! The list of escaped experiments. It seems longer than normal now… and… “experiments” is a REALLY weird term to use for other toys but…she probably shouldn’t wuestion it.

She took a closer look at the list to see whose names were added onto it though the name “Bolt” definitely caught her attention. Bolt…Bolt…she’s never heard of a toy named that back at Playcare. Besides the action figure of that car cheetah. He must be another toy. Judging from the name and how the action figure looks…he must be fast. VERY fast…. Hm… Azure silently thought about what she’d do if she ever encountered the experiment before grabbing onto A.I. and placing him down on the table, facing him towards the computer so he could see what she was doing. He knows more about this place than she does and he’s pretty honest. He must have more information about this toy than she could ever possibly get from her ideas alone.

Azure: “Hey, A.I.? Can you tell me more about this “Bolt” toy?”

A.I. “glanced” at Azure before turning his attention to the long list. Azure took small note of the fact that he looked sort of like a…mannequin. One that can’t move for a matter of fact- yeesh. She should really modify his TV a bit. At least so he has a little bit of freedom. Though- wait. No. Enough of that. Back to the computer. Azure silently waited for an answer. She almost assumed that she wasn’t going to get one before A.I. suddenly spoke up, giving more information on the experiment she had specifically asked him about

A.I.: “Hmmm bolt… Bolt. boltboltboltboltBOLT. Oooooh. the half feral cheetah guy! Yeah… he’s fast but can’t steer to safe a life! Ha! Ha!-.. one time I saw Doey push him down a long flight of stairs once when he bit someone. All I can say kid.., avoid long hallways”

Azure hummed. “Avoid long hallways”…. that’s…much more difficult than it sounds. After all, this place is FILLED with long hallways! Maybe if she stuck to more cramped hallways…no- that won’t work. That’ll just make it easier for whatever that cheetah is gonna do if he…sees her…or hm…maybe she can stick to hallways filled with more things. Chairs, crates, all of that. That should keep her safe… A.I. said that he was “half feral” so..that can’t be good. Feral like an animal or feral like a psychopath?? Either way, neither sounds very appealing. He bit someone so she could only assume that it was the first option. She scrolled through the list some more, keeping an eye on escapees that sounded particularly dangerous. Doris, Silencer, Coo-Coo, Bernie, Hysteria..? There are…so many… Azure gulped before typing something else in. She just wants to know more about this cheetah toy. After a few failed attempts, she eventually sighed and picked A.I.’s TV up again, though she underestimated how heavy it would be from finally putting it down and…dropped it.

Azure let out a gasp and immediately picked up the TV again.

Azure: “Sorry! Did that hurt-? What am I asking?? Of COURSE that hurt.”

She examined the screen. It wasn’t broken or cracked… but she could never be sure. She was also 90% sure that DEFINITELY hurt him in some say or another..but he didn’t exactly react to it…he’s just a robot, right? An artificial intelligence?? Azure looked around before spotting what appeared to be a broken pair of scissors. She walked over to them and picked them up before placing the TV down on the table. What is this kid doing-?

A.I.: “Kid. What. Ag-“

Before he could finish, Azure suddenly attempted to stab the side of the TV with the scissors. Well…not STAB…more so lightly scratch and/or dent the side of it. She glanced at where the dent was before turning her attention back onto him. Normally she wouldn’t do this with anybody but A.I. can’t really move or do anything besides verbally express if something were to hurt him. So Azure is basically..

Azure: “Sorry...Does that hurt??”

A.I. blinked. Is she checking to see if he was in pain-? No- wait. She’s checking to see if he would REACT to any pain. In other words…she’s essentially making sure he’s alive and conscious. In Azure’s defense…he can’t exactly move and therefore could only verbally express if he was distressed or something but does she seriously not know that he can’t feel that??

A.I.: “Kid… pardon my language- but what the fuck are you doing?”

Azure: “I’m just…making sure I didn’t knock you out or give you a concussion or anything cause that fall looked like it hurt. But…you seem okay!”

She suddenly threw the scissors to the side and picked up the TV before walking out of the room. A.I. slowly began to realize…this kid ACTUALLY thinks he’s stuck in this one TV…oh. Oh, okay. That is gonna be HILARIOUS later. Azure made sure to look both ways in the hall, remembering about the cheetah that A.I. warned her about. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw nothing and began to make her way out of the room and down the hallway again. Jeez…there’s a lot of hallways in this place. Azure seemed to have forgotten that she put straps on the TV..or…maybe she just didn’t care as she wasn’t using it as a “backpack” at the moment. Maybe she was planning something…

Azure had been walking for at least 10 minutes when she began to see some sort of…light up ahead. Maybe the lights at this part of the facility were just off?? She quickened her pace, wanting to leave this dark area as quickly as possible until she heard a weird…screeching..? Azure looked down at A.I. before turning around and seeing what appeared to be headlights at the other end of the hallway. Azure’s pupils shrunk as she turned to face A.I. towards what those headlights were. She was…REALLYYY hoping that’s not what she thinks it is..

Azure: “Uh…A.I. .. Any idea of what..that is??”

A.I.: “..Unless someone stole a car and somehow managed to drive it through several hundred tons of stone and metal to get it down here while it’s still intact, that’s either Sandy or…OH SHIT…” … “RUN.”

As soon as he said that, the strange toy from across the hall let out a roar before bolting towards them at a speed Azure didn’t even think was possible…she immediately turned around and began running towards the light up ahead, making sure to put the TV on her back again. Azure noticed that the light up ahead was ACTUALLY coming from a large metal door…one of those “lifting doors” that have a bunch of gaps in them. A.I., knowing this place better than her, knew that those were doors. Doors that he could open thankfully.. He began to open up the doors to allow for Azure to run through them but she had a..different idea. When she got close enough, Azure leaped onto them, grabbing onto the metal before using the gaps to climb up. A.I. had…NO idea what she was doing…and if those doors closed while she was on them then her hands would get crushed which is something he DOESN’T WANT. A.I. immediately attempted to close the doors back up but Azure took this to her advantage. Just as the doors were at the top and about to close up again, she jumped off of them, using her agility to sort of…do a flip off of them just as Bolt sped through the doors RIGHT before they closed up. Azure thankfully managed to land on her feet, watching as the cheetah sped down the halls from behind the giant closed door. That…was terrifying. But…she felt strangely thrilled. Must be the excitement. She manage to recover in at least three seconds, brushing off her sweater before fixing her posture.

A.I.: “Hooooollllllyyyy shhhhhiiiiiiittttt…THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!”

Azure: “Well then- guess all those games of tag and freeze tag at the game station and playhouse really played off!”

A.I.: “How the hell does TAG get to doing epic backflips off opening doors?!”

Azure: “I’m VERY determined NOT to get caught during tag.”

A.I.: “Ooooookay then-. Well let’s get going..there should be some sorta elevator down to the halls we need to go through to get to where I last saw the green kid..”

Azure: “Great!”

Azure immediately looked around and spotted…oh! Another door. After A.I. opened that up for her, she walked through, making her way to the nearest elevator. With him, she’ll be able to find Maria in no time! She’s really starting to like A.I.! For a TV, he’s got a lotta personality!
