THE ATLAS SMP [ ON HIATUS ]

III

slime roamed around the lake, trying to spot the oh-so-familiar hole in the ground where a secret base was shared. of course it was night, so he had to keep a lookout for goose. once slime found the entrance, she quickly got inside and—

"hey slime" spoke a voice from beyond the lake.

"ah shit- hey goose" he replied, covering the entrance.

"why ya in the lake??" they asked, obviously curious like the person they are. "are you collecting fish?? can i help??"

slime seemed dumbfounded, but then realised they could just lie. "oh! yeah yeah, collecting fish! right. i'm almost finished though so there's no need, really." goop smiled convincingly, seeing goose apologise and continue to roam in search of other stars.

slime let out a sigh of relief, quickly crawling into the lake hole and covering it up with seaweed. once making it to the base, goop smiled once he saw his boss.

"hey" unknown said. "you good?"

"yuh. ohh, yeah, i've been meaning to ask you this!! can i go into that room you hide—"

"no! i.. i mean not yet!! just.. just a few more weeks.. or days.. heh. not sure."

slime let out a sigh of annoyance, accepting fate and travelling through an iron door.

unknown quickly traveled through a hidden trap door and set their feet on the stone floor.

"sir. me and my worker have been satisfying your needs. we will soon have our chance, and the others will decay into ash."

the voice grumbled.

unknown gasped, quickly going back through the trap door and hiding it immediately.

they sighed. if only they could find a way to please it.

"what's poppin" goop asked.

"nothin.. nothin much broski"
