|~Hello Puppets~| [The Final Show]

|~Chapter 8: Tea Time~|

"Push it, see what happens?"
Marcus pushed the button, but nothing happened and so he tried again but still nothing happened.
"Huh, guess it does nothing."
So they turned to leave-
"AHHHHH!!!!-DAMNIT!!!!"
Marcus fell against the machine in Fright, hearing a muffled scream from under his bagged head and sewn mouth.
Behind them, appeared a creepy looking-
"Wait. . . That's Owen!
That's the guy that made us, and then. . . Went crazy and used some Voodoo spell to bring us to life."
Marcus slowly stood up,"Bet he regrets that now. . . But, holy shit what did they do to him?", it looked like he was screaming before he died, but he was definitely made into a Puppet via his missing legs and his mouth.
But it was like the life was sucked out of him.
But Marcus had no choice but to keep going.
They had all the pins to enter the main stage and they can get out of there at last but he was worried about Paige, did she get out already maybe, he hoped so.

They got to the stage, but the curtain was down so Marcus turned on the power and-
. . .
Oh crap.
"A-Ha! Just the puppet I've been wanting to see! Don't be shy, come; Have some tea!"
Oh crap. . .
"And don't try and go for the door, I control the whole room with my handee control board!"
Scout turned to Marcus as he slowly approached Mortimer,"Damnit. . . He's got us, just buy us some time and I'll think of a plan.", so Marcus was in-between Rosco and that weird looking Sock Puppet.
"Here's how it will be, you will join us now for tea if you follow our instructions and prove you're polite, you might just survive this night.
But fail to obey three times and these lights will turn red and when that happens. . . You're both dead."
Marcus gulped.
"RILEY!!!!
YOU'RE LATE!!!!
LET'S NOT MAKE OUR GUESTS WAIT!!!"
And that crazy Puppet lady was back.
"Scout! I'll rip your guts out!"
"Calm yourself Riley, we're just having tea; Now Scout or Host, or whoever you are, would you pour me a fresh cup so I don't have to get-"
"This highly irregular I must insist."
Oh boy. . .

"Okay, Host. If you go in the same way again, Mortimer will know so this time use the back entrance that was made by the fire."
They ran around the warehouse quickly as they could, finding a hole in the back of the warehouse.
"There! Go in through there!"
So they got on their hands and knees and crawled through the hole.
They could hear Riley, why was she in the main stage?
"She might be there because there's another test subject or one of the sock puppets are being chewed out."
"Poor things. . ."
. . .
"Yeah I agree. . ."
Finally they got up and peaked in through the door to the main stage.
"?"
"They're gone?"
Mortimer was nowhere in sight, no Rosco or that huge sock Puppet.
"Where did they go?"
"Shit. Rosco must be on the hunt."
On the tea table, there was the button that gave them a chance to run.
"Okay Host; What's your plan?
Usually I'd think of something, but I can't see shit and can only hear!"
"First we need to find where the book is, if we find that and we can revert the spell."
So they made their way off stage and deeper into the studio.
"Okay: We have two possible places where the book can be, either here in Mortimer's section or in Owen's old section but. . . We can't be out in the open especially if Rosco is hunting someone."
. . .
"I have an idea."
They rushed down the halls, careful the rats and the sock puppets even though they probably couldn't see them since they had no light.

"The meat locker?"
"Yeah, don't you posses a new Host? That way we can split up and you can blend in more, they shouldn't recognise you since you're missing an arm and your appearance kind of got messed up. . . Sorry."
"It's whatever, but that's a good idea despite people dying in horror films but yeah: If I lose a Host I'll just make my way here and get another."
So they took out Scout from the bag, aftering bringing down one Host and grabbing some needle and thread, they placed Scout on the stub and began to sew her on.
Then grabbed Duck tape, just for extra security.
"Oh my- I'm alive! Host!- Oh my Goodness. . . That's what you look like. Huh."
They nod, Scout shook her head,"Never mind that, I'll go into Mortimer, Daisy, Riley and Nick's zones and you go to Owen's office, it's not too far from the main stage so we won't be too far from one another Okay?"
They nod, Scout chuckled,"Huh, you're just as optimistic as I recall. Let's find that book and if Rosco or any Puppet is close by, just hide in a locker or just away from view."
They nod again, giving Scout a thumbs up with their new hand.
"Cool new hand by the way."
So they split up, Host on their way to find Owen's office and Scout checking the other sections.

"AHAHAHHA!!!!"
Marcus did his best to struggle but Rocus had him as he carried him to Riley's surgery table.
"A new test subject! But before we go any further. . ."
With no warning when Marcus was strapped down to the table, Rosco bit off Scout!
"Those damn hand puppets are quite the meance, so now they may not see the next day."
Marcus was losing blood, he tired to scream but his screams were muffled as Riley came closer with a scaple.

Paige had two more pins to find so they can get the main stage.
The only problem was the scanner wasn't working for some reason.
"Shit. The power must be down so we better get it back on!"
