This is the tale of a worker.

A worker who works at a normal looking store.

You may have heard of this store before.

Ikea.

A furniture store that holds many everyday objects.

But this certain ikea is different, the workers are working 24/7.

They never leave.

But, the people who come to this ikea also never leave.

The people who come to this ikea either spend the rest of their days here, or they die trying to survive.

At dark is when it's most hard to survive, the workers become hostile at night, they chase any person they see at night.

Repeating the phrase "the store is now closed, please exit the building" its like their insane.

But this worker is quite different.

This is the tale of...

The Soulful Worker.

"AH! GET AWAY FROM ME!"

A survivor yelled as a worker was chasing them through the ikea store.

The survivor grabbed a random lamp while they were running and threw it at the worker, it hit the worker in the face.

The worker paused for a moment to deal with the pain.

The survivor got away.

"Ow..- oh he got away.. darn."

The worker then just started walking around again.

This worker doesn't have a name, but his co-workers call him trippy, since he's a bit clumsy.

Trippy was quite unique from his co workers here, he doesn't have a face, but he has a mouth. He wore a blue and yellow stripped hoodie on, with a blue hat.

he did chase after humans at night and just leaves them be at day like the others.

Though trippy is usually mocked by survivors due to his clumsiness, even some of his Co workers mock him also.

He doesn't like it, but during the day he's forced to put up with it.

Though today, trippy was fed up with everything.

Trippy wanted to have a fighting chance, he wanted to fight back, but he knew he wasn't aloud to.

Though, he was considering it.

The lights suddenly turned on, consuming the darkness. He sighed.

"Another day.." Trippy said sounding annoyed as he walked around.

The survivor he had previously been chasing was walking around nearby him.

Trippy saw the Survivor.

"Isn't that the guy..?" Trippy mumbled to himself.

"Where are those meatballs.." The Survivor mumbled to themselves.

Trippy saw a cafeteria area nearby the person.

"There at the cafeteria to your left" Trippy said casually.
