"Hello? Is this the What-Iffer?" someone says as they go into the What-Iffers hut."
"Ah, welcome, Seven." says the What Iffer.
"Seven? Is that the number that I represent?" Simon plays with his hair.
"Yup. Lucky number Seven."
"Wow, uh, that explains a lot! So anyways-"
"Did they all voted you to come?"
"Woah, yeah! How'd you know?"
"I'm a random Orb, I somehow know everything."
"Oh."
"Anyways, something that I don't know is, what brings you here?"
"Oh yeah. So the majority of us thought that the reason we're all suddenly turning into stone for no reason was because somebody plotted it and asked you for this to happen. Is it true? Can you make it stop? Can we know who?"
"Okay, I'll answer your questions in order. Yes, your lucky guess is true. Can I make it stop? No, the person that requested this said 'the only way for this to stop is to know they did it'. So I cannot tell you who did it." Simon sighed, but before Simon walked away, the What-Iffer added one more thing. "But that person asked me to leave some hints around the town." Then the What-Iffer suddenly disappeared.
"Er, okay." Simon leaves What-Iffer's hut. But then something clicks in his mind again. "Does that person represent a prime number?" the orb isn't there.
Simon comes back to his lab. But no one seems to be here yet. Hint... hmm. I still find the pencil suspicious. Pencil! Simon goes to this random glass case where the reddish orange pencil stood, to see if the culprit the culprit came back. Seems like that pencil is gone now.. but instead, there is a black hairpin stuck in the lock. The culprit must have used their hairpin to open the lock. Just to get a pencil. But then Francine came in.
"Francine! You came in, just in time! Look at what I found." Simon points at the case.
"Security cameras!" Francine runs to a random computer sitting on a counter. So they both went to see what the security cameras picked up. Francine winded the time back a little bit, maybe too far back?
In the video, there, the Town Square, all peaceful. No one else except Felix and Ezra(eleven) get chased by Eliot, Toby, and Tobias(Purple Terrible Two).
"I thought they'd changed." Simon sighs. Then suddenly. Black.
"NOOO!" Francine cries at the computer. Shaking it, hugging it, whacking it, rewinding back. That's how the security camera's life ended: black.
"Wait! Turn the speed of the video to 0.25!" Simon holds onto the chair. Francine did as she was told. The second before the camera died, there was this strange tool flying towards it.
"Well I have no clue what that object is. But I know someone who can explain how random objects work by just looking at them." Francine stretches her back and stares at Simon hoping he knew what she was saying. Simon, was staring at the object's shape with great concern. But he didn't talk about it.
