BEFOREMATH (SJSM fanfic)

What just happened.. ?

Goop:

What happened ?! I heard crashing, screaming, I heard things breaking and some weird sounds from some.. creature ????
The Specimen 1s told me not to pay much attention to this, but how can I not ?! Is this another thing I'll just have to get used to ?!

Was that the Specimen 3 thing ?! What did they do to anger it so much ?! What is that thing ?!

The sounds died down earlier, but I still can't get that out of my head.. the screams of terror...
They deserve it for what they're doing, but it still disturbs me..

According to Stural the stump, I've been here for a week now..
A week..
All this torture, pain, and anguish within just a week..
I'm definitely going to go insane, but.. I guess that's not a bad way to go.. there could be worse ways
Well, technically I'm already dead, but being driven to insanity is an oddly peaceful demise the more I think about it considering all the other things that have happened here, I'd rather further lose my mind than be trapped in the middle of that mess

For now, I can just listen to the Specimen 1s talking, occasionally I might pop in to say something..

" So.. any updates ? "
" They've contained the 3 Subject 5s "
" 3 ?! There's 3 of them now ?! "
" Mhm, they've been caged into one of their spare, empty experimentation rooms, they're also short staffed due to all the murders "
The 2 of them snickered
" On a bad side, they've figured out a plan to bring that Specimen 4 to the mansion "
I perked up and looked at the two
" Who.. even is she ??? I've heard she's a ghost in a school that eats people but.. that's it "
They both shrugged
" No clue man "

I slunk back into the vat and laid down in there, seems like I'll be here for a while
At least that breakout means there might not be any experimentation for a while.. and come to think of it.. are those Specimen 3 ok ? They're as much as victims as the rest of us specimen, I won't be surprised if they've been tortured as well

I'm glad they gave those GLAs a taste of their own medicine, after all they've done, someone had to do that to them, even if it was harsh. And I don't know who that Spooky person is, but if they're behind all of this, if they're the reason why all the GLA are so horrible- I'll-
I..
I'm not sure what I'm going to do
I'm just so angry, I feel so stupid, and I'm not just angry because I was being stubborn and too curious, but I'm also pissed that these horrible people are doing horrible things to people who don't deserve it.. if only.. there was just some way to calm down, some way to relax..

... I'm a comedian..
And these others.. some of them look like they need cheering up... Hmm..

I rose up from my vat and looked around, only to get startled by Whimsy, who was right behing me
I flinched and turned to her, she giggled playfully and wagged her ghostly tail, "did I get ya ? " " Mmmhhm... Say.. is there a microphone anywhere ? "
Whimsy raised a brow and looked at me quizzically, " why.. ? "
" Just gimme it if ya have one "
Whimsy summoned one out of seemingly thin air via clicking her (lack of) fingers and handing it over to me
I smiled, grabbed it, and made my way through the crowd, I saw Bubs jump a bit, " HEY ! What are you doing ? "

I stopped and turned on the microphone, the sound caused nearly all of them to turn their attention towards me.. This feeling.. oh how I've missed the exilliration of stand up comedy.
I cleared my throat, coughing a little
" Okay- uh.. hello ! You know who I am and I know who most of you are ! We're in a uh.. a pretty crappy situation, but as a stand up comedian, by nature, I've gotta bring up the mood ! "
I heard some murmurs and whispers in the crowd, I could feel Bubs' dagger eyes burning into the back of my head, but that doesn't bother me.. much..

" So, have you ever just had a terrible day ? I know a few of you can't and or don't wear pants, but to those who do, on a crappy day, do your pants just gain a mind of their own ? It's like your legs are sick and tired of carrying your tired, depressed self and they control your pants to be uncomfortable or catch onto something, like a doorhandle, they cling to it like a clingy ex girlfriend, like a clingy best friend, and somehow by some superpower it's just so hard to get it unstuck "
I heard a couple of Snickers and giggles, some stared at each other in confusion
" - ok- I can see the looks on your faces, this place is confusing enough, what is this green thing talking about these supposed "pants" ??? " A few more giggles, some of the more lost and confused cracked up a bit
" Could this pants be a specimen, you may ask ? And I feel like they are, they might as well be manmade specimen, because depending on your mood, it's like they can sense it, If I- If I had pants right now- " I said as I mentioned to and wiggled my tail " they would be on fire, they would grow arms and punch me. Liar liar pants on fire? No, Shame Shame turn to Flame "

More laughter errupted, I started to get more excited and gain more energy, It's been a while since I've actually done stand up, and I guess I hadn't realized how much I missed it, even if my current audience is a bunch of cutesy demon things, I still feel great about doing this

" WELL THAT'S ONE GOOD THING THAT GENERIC LAB ASSISTANTS HAVE DONE, NOW YOU DONG HAVE TO WEAR ANY !!! " shouted one from the crowd, a few more laughs ensued
" Hey !!! " I playfully scolded " don't give them ideas, what if they make us grow legs ? "
" I think we should congratulate the Specimen 3s for taking the hit and growing so many for us " came another voice
" Ah yes, those poor poor insects, being forced to have legs, next they'll wear pants, maybe even shoes, just a little something to protect their non existent feet, well, I could be wrong, I've never seen it, maybe it'll decide to grow feet so it can perfectly kick those lab people "

Cheers and hypes washed through the crowd, many of them cheering for me, others for Specimen 3
Maybe.. maybe there can be something good to come out of this
