Case 34

Ripped Apart

(sorry for the long wait, guys! some stuff going on, so I hope yall like this one!)

"Log 19, Case 34. This is Fan again, hello! Okay, so the camera and audio feedback from the room the subjects are in are fine. The files here don't seem to be tampered with or seem to have missing information. At least from my studies. It's currently 2 am and both Subject T-34 and K-34 are awake. They can't seem to be getting some sleep. Audio feedback says that they're confused about my presence here! That means that darn Test Tube never told them. But perhaps it was for the best that they never knew until now. I mean, this was unexpected for me too. Anyhow, Test Tube told me to give them check-ups every now and then. Especially N-34. I'll be giving them check-ups in the morning though, I think they're tired. Bye for now, recorder!"

Fan clicks the recorder off.

When 7 am strolled around, Fan woke up from an uncomfortable and cold slumber. Suppose sleeping on the desk wasn't such a great idea. His usual early morning routine applied the same way in the lab, but some differences here and there. Make some coffee, check the audio feed, and playback the video recording from last night. During the time Fan fell asleep, Taco and Knife started to talk. A lot. Fan turns up the audio and plays the video.

"Jesus, I'm still really confused about Fan. Does he work with Test Tube now or something? I never took him to be the torturing and heartless type." Knife picks at his teeth and yawns into his other hand. Taco sighs and lays her body against Microphone's side. "He's definitely working with her. He is a nice and rather vulnerable guy, but that doesn't mean he isn't capable of whatever Test Tube is capable of. All we know is that he's on her side, and he is absolutely not trustworthy." Taco crosses her arms and closes her eyes, merely listening to Knife's reply. "What an asshole. I actually trusted him at one point in the show. Plus, he's really cute." Taco's eyes snap open and she peers over at him. "I beg your pardon?" "Nothing." He shoots her daggers and she covers her mouth to suppress a laugh. Knife scratches his back where his tattoo imprint is and yawns again. "Anyway, I'm tired. You can talk to the wall or something. I'm hitting the hay." Knife slumps against the wall and covers his eyes with his arm again, falling asleep in less than 10 seconds. Taco holds onto one of Microphone's hands, her eyes closing a few minutes after Knife.

"Wow, fascinating. Even after season 1, Knife will trust anyone in this dire situation. Even Taco." Fan puts on his glasses which are slightly similar to Test Tube's but more rectangular. He clicks his pen and starts to jot some things down on Knife's folder. "Still very stubborn on some points, tend to have an attitude with Test Tube and perhaps may go easy on me? I mean he did call me cute. Hehe. A-Anyway, I don't think he will have some kind of bias. He's Knife after all. K-34 has changed only a bit. He seems to trust T-34 a lot more and is friends with M-34? Wow, this is a lot, Hahaha! This will be fun! Oh, I wish to ask him some questions later regarding his relationship with Taco and Microphone. That could be fun, huh? But first, they need some breakfast!"

Smiling widely, he ends his notes with a period and clicks his pen back.

Fan stands from the desk and walks into the hallway and into the kitchen. Test Tube told him that food wasn't a necessary exercise to be done. But Fan didn't want to starve the poor things. He grabs some of the pancakes in the fridge which he brought from the hotel just last night. He had no idea what to do with them, so he just placed it in their room cold. He opens the door and peeks his head inside. Knife, Taco, and Baseball were still asleep while Microphone and Nickel were already moving around. Not being able to really hear their conversation, he takes a few more steps inside and casually slides the plate of pancakes by their feet. They look up when they hear the plate scraping against the metal and see Fan. Nickel doesn't seem fazed by his sudden appearance, but Microphone nearly jumps out of her own skin and gives him a frightened look.
