[Test Tube's POV]
"Hello, Test Tube. Welcome to Meeple."
I rubbed my eyes in shock. This can't be real.. But what do I see? Him. The famous piece of corn himself. More like the future popcorn-!
"Cobs-?! Why am I here?" Those aliens. He had tried taking them. "Hello, Test Tube. You are here to complete a little quest for me. You do not have a choice." Cobs said. "And what if I don't do it? Get off your lazy jeebweezer corn butt and do it yourse-" "Excuse me?" Cobs asked. "I SAI-" "Well, if you don't do it, you're dead. Oh, yeah. And your friends too. And your little free recovery center won't be able to revive you, because I have blocked his ability to generate items." Cobs Interrupted with a stern tone.
I sat there in silence for a second. Mephone isn't able to revive us? What if Lightbulb shatters again? Thoughts raced through my head. "Why me, specifically? Why did you choose me?" I asked. "Do you accept this mission or not?" Cobs asked. "Well tell me-" "Nope. It's a yes or a no. If you accept, I will tell you what it is. Besides, I'm sure you'd rather do this then your friends dying, right?"
I just stood there deciding for a minute or two. It was a hard decision. "Are you going to deci-" "SHUT. UP! YES, FINE. I'LL DO IT YOU JEEBWEEZER." I yelled, not meaning to be that loud. "Do not yell. Also what kind of name is that? Not very offensive if you ask me." "Just tell me!" I demanded. Cobs leaned against a wall, thinking of how to explain. "Well. First, I want you to bring Mephone4 and Mepad. Mainly Mephone4. Make sure Mepad is alive, I don't really care if Mephone's dead. Actually.. Yes, keep him alive. Second, I need you to get each and EVERY person at Hotel Oj. If you do as I say, no harm will go to them, I just don't want them in my way." Cobs instructed.
"Understand?" Cobs asked. "I.. Uhh.. But-" "Nope! Understand? I just need one simple word." Cobs said. "F-.. Fine.. I'll.. Do it..." I said with regret, but it's better than my friends dying, right?.. I'll find a way to get out of this situation.
"Good. I'll give you some time to settle. Need anything?" Cobs asked. I need a way out of here, I thought. "Uhh, no thanks." I said. "Alright. I'll be back in an hour to check on you. Your little quest will start tomorrow." Cobs said as he shut the door. Within a few minutes I regretted saying no thanks, I was pretty hungry.
I sat in bed, staring at the clock. It was too quiet in the room. All I could hear was 'tik, tik, tik, tik, tik.' Coming from the clock. It was boring and unsettling. Other than the batteries on the shelves, it was bland
I glanced around in the room for any entertainment. There was a small TV in the corner of the room. Hmm, better than nothing I guess. I stood up and walked to the corner where the TV was and looked on the remote, the TV was on a rolling cart. There was a small remote, probably the size of one of those LED light remotes. I pressed the power on the remote and there was a bit of static when it turned on, the speakers on it were not very good. then I realized how much dust was on the screen.
I wiped it off, this TV was definitely old. Kinda weird, I thought Cobs had some kind of hatred towards old technology for some odd reason, I think it's kind of stupid if I'm being honest. I brought the cart over to my bed and watched it, there was only old cartoons and news channels on it, so it was still pretty boring.
[Cob's office]
Cobs sat in his chair, thinking about what he'd do with all of the contestants.. He could.. Kill them? No. That would get him in trouble. He could.. He could use the electrical ones for parts, and then keep the rest in the jail he had.. For some reason. He nodded to himself as he thought of that. He was sure it'd do no harm if he took parts from contestants who were electrical.
[Hotel Oj, Fan's room.]
"Gosh.. where IS she..? It's 3PM!!" Fan panicked as he looked at the time on his phone, Fan had tried spam texting her AND spam calling her. she hasn't been online or read his messages. "She always answers her phone!" Fan said. "I gotta do something about this- I gotta tell Oj!" Fan bursted his door open, not even shutting it and ran to Oj's room while also earning weird stares from Mic and Soap, who we're sitting in the hallway. He ran up a few sets of stairs, completely forgetting there was an elevator.
Fan knocked on Oj and Paper's room. "Hey Oj!!?" Fan yelled. "Uhh, yeah? I'm kind of busy-" Oj said behind the door. "Please! I gotta talk to you! Test Tube! She's still not here, and she's not answering her phone at all! It's 3 PM!!" Fan told Oj. Oj opened the door. "She's still not here?" Oj asked.
"Yeah! I'm starting to worry- we gotta do something!!" Fan said. Oj looked surprised. "Alright.. I can't do anything yet, but tomorrow.. If she's still gone, I'll report it to the police and we can go look for her." Oj said. Fan's heart dropped. She could be in big trouble.. But it was better than nothing. At least Oj understood.
"Oh.. Alright, thanks." Fan said, trying not to be too upset. Oj went back into his room and shut the door. Well that didn't work. Fan checked his messages again, still nothing. Fan sighed and walked to the elevator and went to the floor that him and Paintbrush's room was on. After a minute of standing in silence, he finally got to floor 3. The doors dinged as they opened. Fan stepped out of the elevator and walked back to his room, it was now 3:48. Fan sighed miserably and layed in his bed. But then an idea popped up in his head, what if he went down to her lab to look? He gasped at the idea. "Why didn't I think of that earlier..?" He asked himself.
He got up out of bed, grabbed his phone and walked downstairs. He quickly went out the door, avoiding the looks he was getting from going so quickly. He ran down the trail until he got to the area where Test Tube's lab was. He walked off the trail and looked around him. This little 'walk' was actually quite nice for him. Perfect weather, birds chirping, and the sound of him walking in grass. "Ouch!" He yelped, grabbing his foot, He had stepped on something. He looked at his foot, he stepped on a tiny piece of glass with wet green-ish liquid surrounded by it. Fan was confused for a second, what was that green liquid..? He paused as realization came to him. He quickly picked the glass out from his foot and looked at his surroundings, there was a rock right beside his foot, it had more of the green liquid with a bit of red on it.
"What.. Is..." Fan then realized. It was test tube. She got hurt! What happened to her, where is she!? The amount of possibilities sent Fan into a panic attack. Fan gripped the sides of his head with his hands as his breathing sped up. His heart was pounding, it hurt. His legs started shaking as he would breathe faster.. faster and faster. "Oh god oh god oh god oh god-!" Fan would repeat. It felt like his heart was pounding from his ears. Fan ran in a panic, starting to cry. "Where IS SHE!?!?!?" Fan yelled as he ran as fast as he could. When he got back to the hotel, he slammed the doors shut and nearly twisted his ankle running to the elevator. He spammed the button of the highest floor, repeated dings coming from the elevator. He could hardly breathe knowing that something happen to Test Tube. The elevator went up, once again the doors dinged as they opened. Fan hurriedly knocked on Oj's door, still having trouble. Oj slammed open the door. "NO, I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHR- oh sorry Fan. You okay? Jeez- what happened to you??" Oj asked.
"I-I- PLEASE LISTEN.." Fan said as he was still trying to catch his breath. "Test Tube.. I tried walking to her lab to check on her and.. I found glass- with green liquid and blood.. I- I think something happened to her!" Fan said. Oj's eyes were wide..
"Oh, she probably died. No worries though! Mephone can revive her. I'll go give him a call now." He said as he walked back into his room, closing the door behind him. Fan sighed in relief, starting to calm down.
... That was until Oj came back out with a worried expression on his face.
