Day 5: The pet store

[hazard100]

Day 1 - Window Display

--------

After the Franklin Supermall shut down, many odd things have been happening, like strange creatures that we, The Philadelphia Society of Cryptzoobiology, have been recording for study, such as the crawling Millipied Eyes, that Breno saw in one of the window displays. They appear to be some breed of Zygentoma that has the appearance of eyes. They are the most common in this mall, and there have not been any recorded sightings of these bugs in the wild.

I didn't have a lot of time to draw this, but I'd say its a good start for caught-on-tober.

Don't get to close to the mannequins.

Day 10- Build-A-Buddy -------- From Millipedes to Centipedes, our newest discovery has us travel to an old Monkey Hut near the Kite entrance of the mall. It's a place where kids built plush monkies of all kinds, though its popularity wasn't as high as other toy-building stores. Strangely enough, it didn't close to bankruptcy, but an incident that led to a significant suing of the company after various ear-related accidents and injuries. We only found empty shelves and plastic vines decorating the place when we entered, though that would change soon enough. We then discovered the cryptid, this one we called the Plush Centipede, crawling along a corridor, scrapping its broken felt body across the floor, seemingly looking for something. Our question was answered when the monstrosity reached up to a lone monkey toy, ripped off its head, and then proceeded to mysteriously thread it to its exposed end. We then looked in horror as it quickly scuttled up the vent, leaving us with just a body of a ravaged childhood memory. ---Harry Stein

Day 11- Automatic Door

--------

It seems that no matter what shape this mall takes, it always seems to surprise me... Just today, I was trying to solo the mall exploration as the others visited their families for the day. I know it's a bad idea, but damn it, I need to know what's causing all these cryptids. I saw one of the automatic doors open in front of me, causing me to skitter to a halt in my wheelchair. What exactly is giving life to this place after all these years, I wonder... Turns out I may just have discovered it, and it is a mold colony. They seem to be an electricity-producing colony that no one else has found, and they are lining the walls and machines of the place. I will name them: Amon's Blood.

Day 24 - The Arcade

——–

Today’s search has been pretty peligroso considering that we just encountered an entire troop of Rictus Patrons! We were looking through this old arcade until we saw a clawed hand clammer from behind a cabinet. Knowing what cryptid that hand belonged to, we decided to slowly back away slowly and calmly. That all went to ay loco rápido when Daniela tripped on a bump in the rug, causing the cryptids to go full alert mode! We did not get clawed on our escape from the arcade, but it was still freaky. At least we know Harry was right about the primate things, considering they were flaring their teeth like baboons.

—Love And Peace, Breno

Day 2 - The Kiosk

--------

During one of our venture into the Franklin Mall, we encountered one of the many kiosks throughout the halls; this one was locked up tight from the inside! Dam-Bi suggested we use a crowbar, but before we could do that, one of the shutters was violently opened up, with three tendrils (or maybe fingers) holding the metal barrier up. Then, like coins in a sewer, a set of gigantic teeth appeared and let out a warbled and loud laugh before slamming the shutter close. This phenomenon of a cryptid has been recorded in the PSC database and given the title: *The Laff Shack.*(Daniela's idea, not mine)

Day 8- Bowling Alley Carpet

--------

Today was an interesting experience, to say the least... To clarify things, the team and I explored this old bowling Alley in the 'Key Area' of the mall. This one was undoubtedly a blast from the past, considering we all met in a bowling alley similar to this one. The only differences were the lack of lighting and the sighting of an unusual cryptid. I don't know how to explain it, but it seemed to form out of the neon carpeting, wiggling like it was constantly made out of jello. Then, as if knowing the unsettling aura it was emitting, it decided to TOUCH ME with these two horn-like protrusions on my cheeks, then proceeded to transmit the worst headache before disappearing back into the ground. All in all, I can't explain what just happened, but I did get a name from it somehow: Amon.

Day 18 - Dressing Room Friend

--------

(Due to the last post being almost illegible and the fact that the cryptid's name, which will be called Neon Hecatoncheires, was not included, Daniela will be denied from writing any future posts in her own style)

Dam-Bi's Progress Report.

We found some wheelchair tracks from the movie theater, leaving for another abandoned store. This one is shaded in faded pinks compared to the sickening yellow or green of the others we encountered, making the place at least a little more calming. Fitting with this calm aura, we found an unusually friendly cryptid we call: Looking Glass Gecko. This creature is only visible in reflections and acts like a golden retriever. After we encountered the twelve-legged lizard, it led us to our next clue: Harry's glasses and a secret corridor to another area in the mall.

Day 5 - The Pet Store

——–

Hola amigos! Harry can’t really be typing today due to his injuries from yesterday, so I’m writing our next entry! Well, if you don’t know by now, nosotros cuatro amigos are looking for cryptids and undiscovered monsters in the Franklin Mall. Of course, our team was cut to tres due to the whole Laff Larve situation,but Harry will be back as soon as possible. We found this pájaro Loco of a cryptid in the old Ned’s Birdhouse and Aquarium, and boy, was it wet as a trapo para fregar platos! It let out a screech as soon as we saw it, and then it flew over us and just went through the wall, like an espíritu! We decided to call it Ned’s Waterfowl, and hopefully we can learn more about this pájaro when Harry is up!

—Love And Peace, Breno

Day 15- Closing Time

--------

Mission Status: Bad to Worse.

We are trapped inside the mall, and I know who is responsible for it. Culprit's Name: Tesla Jr., Occupation: Ex-Timekeeper of Franklin Mall. I remember going to the mall with my family in childhood, and we always walked under the animatronic. It would state notable moments in time in a pre-recorded voice, with an accent of an old scientist from an 80s film. When we, the PCA, walked up to it, it suddenly activated and looked down at us. It then stated the following:

"It's Closing Time, Everyone! Quickly now! Time is of the Essence!"

Tesla Jr. began secreting a green substance behind its face, almost forming a pair of legs. We ran away as far as we could, but when we got to the exit to return to home base, we found the doors unable to be opened. I fear that now we are trapped in here as well...

Day 12- In The Parking Garage

--------

In the dark, my cage is made, Made of false rock and metal veins. Once the god of the desert wind, now the demon of stone, They scrape their knives of metal on veins and bones. My blood, now fused with metal machines, It lets loose the realms of the unseen. For this place, my curse will not rest, Unless someone from outside the cage, it's lock divest.
