Chapter Text
My my.. wasn't this interesting. The little Ballon animal seems to have made a friend... and probably see old onss too.. though.. I wonder if it'll stay that way (evil hands rubbing and evil laughter intensity)
(Noobs pov)
The strange living Balloon dog found me and I screamed at it. I definitely did a number on its ears before i decided that darting out the first exit I saw was a good idea.. I ran and ran and being spurred on when it started yelling at me! That only fueled my fear of it! I chugged down some bloxy mid chase enjoying the speed and adrenaline it pumped into and and ran and ran till my legs gave out and i was wheezing for air.
but that-.. that living toy was right behind me! It was sure quick on its feet! I hardly made any distance on it! So got up and ran forward again I turned a corner before being met with a dead end and more of this black liquid... I was terrified. Looking at every possivle direction i could go but it was all blocked off. Flinching at a thud behind me i turned around to meet my inevitable fate at the hands of this... balloon dog? Whatever I was gonna die and this was it as i watched it approach. Curling into a ball as I was ready for the pain of death..
(No death came and instead a pov of looey came 🤣)
The smallish figure had screamed at me like I did something wrong! What the freakadoodle! It had hurt badly as I was right there! Couldn't we just talk it out?? By the time I regained my senses they had already darted away into the halls! There was still razzle and dazzle about and I assumed he mightve found them before I found him. Propelling myself forwards on my agile feet i ran after him yelling "WAIT!! DONT RUN TOO FAR YOU MIGHT GET HURT!!" But it proved to be futile as it seemed my words made them even more scared! I couldn't see them well but they didn't look like any other toon and I honestly was thinking it was a human! Foolish right?
I had them cornered! And from the looks of it they were human enough! Their hair was yellow aswell as their skin but that's okay! Yattas yellow and I love her! I approached the human slowly before my tail started wagging "geez get a hold of yourself looey! You've only just met them and probably scared them with that yelling! Stupid stupid!"
(No more looey pov ok? Ok.)
He mentally punched himself before realizing the human was still cowering.. he walked a little closer before extending his hand out
"Hey? You alright? I didn't mean to give such a scare heh! Its been so long sense I've seen a human! How'd you even get here lil guy and where's your parents??"
He asked quietly like he was talking to a kid and he assumed he was. This yellow kid was awful small and looked young and only kids really came here! He just wanted to help!.. noob however was not convinced. No longer shielding themselves from any blows but neither talking or relaxing. They looked.. traumatized?.. no.. cant be they're just a kid!
Noob however was not fairing as well as looey and needed some time to process this... this.. balloon! Was just chasing him and yelling at him before acting sweet as surgar to him?! It didn't add up.. but he was desperate for answers and desperate to find the others so he grabbed the Ballon animals hand. Letting them help him up.. he realized how big the place looked.. was he smaller? He looked at his clothes and saw they looked loose on him.. weird.. whatever he turned to the balloon before speaking in a meek whisper
"W-where am i..?? Whyd you start chasing me!" He slightly pulled away realizing how bizarre this all was before the balloon animal reassured him calmly. Like he'd done this a million times before..
"Hey now let's not make a fuss you may be lost yeah? Well lucky you because im here now and ill help you find your parents! Looeys the name don't wear it out bud!" He gave a cheeky grin to the lost looking kid before shaking his hand aggressively. "This kid really seems lost! He doesn't even know my name!" He thought in annoyance.. whatever he wasn't the main of the show.. not really.. that didn't matter! He'd help this young guy with all his heart!
"Soo how'd cha get here Lil guy? And what's ya name? I cant keep calling you Lil guy even if you are so little!" *he giggled before tilting his head almost curiously at the small kid. They were a weird looking one indeed...
Noob seemed taken aback at his sudden gentleness and playfullness.. he swore they were out to get his head a minute ago! But that mattered none, now that he was relatively safe with "looey" it calls itself.. he wonders if there's more looey or if the other survivors are with him right now! He sure misses Elliot and his pizza.. he was starving.. bringing his head back down to robloxia (earth?) Before stammering out words in embarrassment. He had totally forgotten someone was infront of him! How rude of him!!!
"O-Oh! I uhh.. don't really know how I got here exactly... it was like.. a headache before I passed out and woke up h-here.. i-im noob by the way.. sorry for uhm.. screaming at you and running away.. I was kinda.. terrified of you.. sorry.. his voice wavered at the few last words before straightening up and trying to seem braver than his was.. he hoped looey wouldn't hurt him..
Looey however seemed glad he was unharmed but what concerned him was that the kid passed out and woke up here?? Hello?? Where are his parents!?!? He calmed himself down before he started to freak himself out more than needed.. he took a nice and fresh deep breath of stale air before talking calmly.. kinda..
"Ohmyohmy!! I don't think that's very good ki- I mean.. noob! "What a weird name.. he thought then again there was a kid name america.. whatever don't judge looey" going back to frantically yapping to noob "your alright though? You just felt dizzy yeah? Like.. did Any of this black stuff get on you? Did you eat any? C'mon I gotta take you somewhere to meet my friends! They're really nice so don't you worry one bit buddy!"
While he told noob not to worry he was freaking out like honestly! Where'd this kid come from? They passed out and woke up here! Unless he was lying but he didn't seem like he was lying and looey is a good liar finder considering Connie is always pestering him! He needed to take them to dandy right now! Dandy has the most knowledge about humans considering this whole place is marketed after him!
Noob however was getting worried that looey was looking worried.. he had touched a little bit of that black stuff.. not alot! He hoped it wouldn't be bad on his part.. wait! Where was looey taking him? He didn't consent to this!
"Ah! Wait please!.. w-where are we going? What would happen if I did touch that black stuff? Awnser me!" To no avail looey only said "ill tell ya in the elevator hurry up slowpoke!" Before hurrying over to a large metal door assembly the "elevator" man was it huge. Were they fitting a school of kids in here? (Yes noob. Yes they were.)
Looey had eventually reached the elevator telling noob to stay put and hold on really quick before running off in some direction. He heard.. liquid? pouring into something off in the distance before a loud "DING!" Could be heard echoing down the empty halls. This place was so uncanny like it had the shell of something much happier but ended up drowning in despair..
Looey was rushing to finish the last two remaining machine before the kid wandered off. He was never good around them and only performed for tricks and usually met them backstage! This was his first experience out of that and he doesn't know when his last one was! He shakes those dark memories away before rushing off to the next machine he hoped that kid stayed put.. he should've just brought him with him! Whatever looey just get to work..
Noob was not gonna go anywhere. Too scared to follow looey but too scared to stay out in the open. Memories of him walking unhidden before 1x shot a dagger through his chest immoblizing him for a quick and swift-
The sounds of the elevator roaring to life and the doors opening without harsh grating noises of old machiney and the smell of.. something he couldn't name quite yet.. he stood infront of it before hearing looey shout behind him
"Ah! It open go on in noob! Im right behind ya!" He jogged over while noob seemed skeptical at first eventually had walked slowly inside. The air was freezing cold compared to the warm almost humid feel of out there. It was.. refreshing. It smelt decent too like it had undergone some deep cleaning recently.. huh.. looeg couldn't have done this all so he must have some form of help..
*looey skidded to a halt as he stepped inside. Feeling a rush of relief come over him that noob not only stayed put but didn't twist either. He doesn't know if it'll work on humans but he doesn't want to find out anytime soon. Clicking a button with a swift click started slowly closing the door to the elevator before dropping down with a loud thud looey chuckled at the sight of noob looking so baffled at an elevator! What a strange kid.. hes met worse..
He walked up to noob before tapping him lightly to connect him back to earth "hey kid you done daydreaming? Ha let's get ready i have some awesome friends for you to meet they would love to see you! Oh its gonna be a big surprise like a birthday! But no cake.." he laughed at his own comment before holding noob. Close, enjoying the presence of an actual human(?) Being by him again. Its been so long..
Noob seemed a little comforted by looeys gesture of kindness. Maybe this wouldn't be so back after all and if looey is this nice maybe the others are just the same? He turned to looey with a slight smile. They were around the same height he realized.. noob was never a tall guy but he swore he shrunk.. his clothes don't fit either.. ugh whatever. Just be happy your not dead.. sighing slightly he leaned on looey slightly. Embracing the comfort he was getting
"Hey looey?" He asked quietly "do your friends look like.. you? Are they also.." he looked at looey up and down briefly before locking eyes again "balloons?"
Looey only giggled before tilting his head "I dunno! Let's find out together heh! Maybe they're like me maybe they're not! Who knows!" A big smile spread on his face before the elevator was gradually slowing down. Signaling they were nearly there. Noob was starting to feel anxious. He was never good around crowds.. he wondered how many were exactly here.. oh well..
(Toons in the lobby)
Today was pretty chill vee, Shelly, and sprout had all awaited looeys return. He clicked the button pretty early on in his run. Vee estimated he was only on floor 7-10 before retreating. Maybe he got in a pickle or found good items! Shelly couldn't help but lift the mood with sprout and vee constantly glaring daggers at each other..
"Cmon guys! Cheet up a bit! Maybe looey has found some stuff we need! Some more parts for your robotic stuff vee! Or maybe even more ingredients for you and cosmo sprout!" Her attempts weren't all in vain as sprout lossened up slightly.
Yeah maybe your right but honestly I wonder what was THAT important to stop us from doing what we needed too.. cosmos baking all alone how will I help with breakfast if this is taking forever" he groaned dramatically before vee rolled her eyes "your such a nuisance sprout. Cosmo has it in the bag berry boy he can handle himself without his little boyfriend helping his every little need!"
Sprout blushed at the rude mention of relationship. They were not dating! Vee just knew how to push his buttons and it was working. Whatever. Let's just hope looey gets here and fast before he gives vee a factory reset..
