Ginavium and Mechanics

Chapter 6

Elizabeth was at the bridges, looking up at the giant face, apparently Banban said their name was Zolphius.

Their head moved slightly to look at Elizabeth. "Ya know, you remind me of someone named Marionette, but, we just called her Puppet." She said, Zolphius tilted their head.

"Uh are you confused about something- oh uh, turn your head left for yes, and right for no." She said, Zolphius turned their head left. "Okay so.. are you confused as to why I'm talking to you?" She asked, Zolphius tilted their head left again. "Oh, the answer to that one's easy, I'm bored and Banban's busy, so I don't want to bother him right now." She crossed her legs and rocked back and forth, Zolphius' head got closer to Elizabeth, she jumped up and stretched her wings, and began to fly up so she met Zolphius' eye-level.

Zolphius tilted their head. "Are you curious about me being able to fly?" She asked, Zolphius tilted their head to the left. "Oh, well uh, I'm kinda dead." She said, Zolphius moved their head back slightly, as if to show surprise. Then tilted their head. "How I died?" She said, Zolphius tilted their head left again, Elizabeth sighed and landed. She looked around, then back to Zolphius.

"Please don't let Banban know about this yet, he's already dealt with enough trouble in just these past few days." She said, Zolphius slowly nodded. She sighed, and morphed into her Circus Baby form, she looked up a Zolphius, and activated the claw, the very thing that pulled her in and killed her. "This animatronic that I am possessing, is what killed me, she used this claw, to hold ice cream to lure me in, then." She retracted it back in, it went so fast and there was so little space, even a child would get crushed.

"Getting pulled into this body, crushed my old one, I've been possessing this one since..." She said, she changed back into her 'normal' form. She adjusted her wings, and moved her tail slightly, she picked up her Banban plush off the ground, and looked up at Zolphius, they tilted their head. Somehow, Elizabeth knew what they were asking. "I don't know how long I've been possessing her, I believe around thirty to forty years." She said, she thought.

"What if I was able to change my age- physically? I'm able to shift between my animatronic and human-ish forms what if I can make myself look older?" She said, Zolphius moved their head from side to side. Elizabeth hummed in thought. "To start out.. I think..."

"Elizabeth, there you are!" She heard Banban, she turned around.

"Hi! Me and Zolphius were about to test something!" She smiled up at him, he looked down.

"Okay? What was that?" He asked

"Well since I can shift forms from spirit" She gestured to herself. "And human." She shifted to her human form and back again. "I could shift to be a different age-"

"Sorry to interrupt but- how would that work exactly?" He asked

"Well it depends on how long I've been dead, and I've been dead for..." She paused and looked back at Zolphius. "How long did I say like uh- thirty or forty years?" She heard Banban's breath hitch. Zolphius nodded slowly. "Yeah, just about thirty to forty years." She said, "Sooo, I can probably change how I physically look!" She said, Banban stared.

"That's... around how long we've been down here- all of us, experiments...." He said, Elizabeth paused.

"Oh..." Then she got an idea, she pointed at him. "Old." She smirked. Banban deadpanned.

"Uh- seriously?" He said.

"You said you used to be human and you worked here or something, so you were like twenty or thirty right?' She asked, Banban sighed, pinching where the bridge of his nose would be.

"I was twenty-five-"

"That makes you old."

"Oh my god- Elizabeth."
