Tw : Yelling, Planning murder, Murder, Death, Car crash, Hospitals
While everything was happening upstairs, Toby and Mercury were talking and designing some animatronics. "So, they're gonna be super creepy, what else about them?" Toby asked, doodling some designs on some scrap paper that Henry left down there. Mercury walked in circles around where Toby sat on the floor, thinking. It let out a hum for a moment, "Springlocks. They're gonna have springlocks. And they should be big, big enough for a grown man to be trapped inside." they said darkly. Toby raised an eyebrow and looked up at his best friend, "Trapped?" he asked, having an idea of what Mercury was planning but not knowing for sure. Mercury nodded, "Trapped." he repeated simply. The two fell silent for a moment, the only sound in the room because the sound of Toby's pencil scratching against the paper. "He killed my sister." Mercury started, "He killed her. In cold blood." it continued. "I'm going to kill him, I'm gonna kill him in a slow, painful, drawn out, way." they hummed, "Springlocks." he said, pulling out some of Henry's old blueprints.
Toby nodded. He didn't think he should think William was as awful as he was, William was a good parent (for the most part) before C.C died. But ever since then.. he'd be anything but a good parent to them or Micheal. Of course, he still baby'd Liz, she was always his favorite. But.. what he did. Its unforgivable. William is allowed to grieve, not make other's grieve. "Springlocks will definitely slow and painful" he agreed, erasing stuff from the design. "How many are we gonna make?" he asked, grabbing some more paper. "Hmm" Mercury hummed, looking around the room. "Four?" It suggested, "You know, just incase. Plus, its poetic, there was four animatronics at Fazbear's." he added. Toby nodded, "Soooo, A bear, a fox, a bunny, and a chicken?" he asked, already starting to design the bear.
Mercury shook his head, "A bear, a fox, a bunny, and a wolf." it said, going through his Dad's blueprints and designs. "A wolf?" Toby questioned. "Yea, not sure why but it feels right, I guess, plus, my Dad created Chica, I remember when he first made her, she was his prized possession. I can't kill someone with her." it said, looking at the blueprint for the original Chica that Henry made. Toby looked up, "Makes sense" he said, continuing to draw. Mercury sighed and sat on the floor, laying his head right next to Toby, "Tobes" he muttered. Toby stopped drawing and looked over at them, "Merc" they responded. Mercury smiled a bit, "I'm sorry I'm killing your Dad" it said with a little shrug. Toby shrugged back, "I'm sorry he killed Charlie" he said with a sigh.
The two of them eventually started talking about random topics, including what 'gay' smells like. (fyi its fruit, 90s aesthetic and the smell when you open fruit loops). "We should make a cooking show, like a reality tv cooking show and we mostly bake fruity cakes and stuff and make gay jokes" Mercury hummed, holding himself up on his elbows, watching Toby draw. Toby gasped, "Yusssssss" he smiled, nodding as they drew. "Andddddd doneee" he said, handing Mercury the first finished design. Mercury gasped, "Appobyyyyyyyyyy its so greatttt" he said happily, leaning against Toby and smiling. Toby smiled back, "Thank youuuuuuu" they hummed. Mercury nodded, "What should his name beeeeeeee" it asked. Toby hummed, "Hmm, since he's a bear like Freddy maybe it should be a twisted version of Freddy's?" he suggested. Mercury squinted and thought about that for a moment, "Thats it!" they gasped, "Twisted Freddy!" he declared as if it was a genius.
Toby gasped, "Ooooooo yusss" he agreed, "The Twisteds" he hummed, leaning into Mercury back. Mercury shot up off the floor and started looking around for spare parts, holding the design carefully. Toby worked on another design, drawing carefully, humming to himself. The two both jumped nearly out of their skin when the basement door shot open, Micheal stood there, a worried and urgent expression on his face "Jesus Micheal! What the fuck-" Mercury huffed, not caring much about the look on Micheal's face because he was just scared deeply. Toby took a deep breath and stood up, putting his drawing stuff on the counter. "Mike? Whats wrong?" Toby asked, seeing the look on Micheal's face and instantly realizing something was wrong.
Micheal looked around the room nervously, thinking about the words to say, "Its um- Fuck- Um- Just got a call-" he said anxiously. "It was a hospital.." he added, before he could say anything Mercury stopped everything, "Micheal. Vincent. Afton." he said, his eyes darting up the stairs and piercing through Micheal's soul like a spear, "What. Did. They. Say." he demanded. Micheal knew that Mercury already knew the biggest part but.... "There was a crash.." he said, looking anywhere but at Toby or Mercury. "And!?" Mercury snapped, stepping towards the staircase. Toby froze, his eyes glued on his older brother. "...Uncle Henry is in surgery.." Micheal finished, moving away from the doorframe.
Mercury and Toby stood in stunned silence for a brief moment before they both bolted up the staircase, "The car?" Mercury said, panic heavy in his voice. "I'll drive." Micheal said, already grabbing the keys. Elizabeth looked around in a state of confused panic. "Liz, car, quickly." Toby said, already out the front door and heading towards the car. Mercury nodded and gently grabbed Liz's hand, leading her to the car and getting in the back seat with her and Toby. Micheal made sure the front door was shut and started the car, he drove to the hospital borderline speeding as the car remained silent for most of the trip. "What happened?.." Liz finally spoke up, her voice shaky, scared, and tired. "Uncle Henry.. was in an accident." Toby said quietly and softly, trying his best not to breakdown. It was so much in a day, it was so much i forever.
Mercury practically winced as if the words physically stabbed him. First Charlie, now his Dad? In the same day. He stared out the window as tears filled and poured out of his eyes quietly. Elizabeth froze, "No.. no no.. Charlie.. Uncle Hen-Henry..." she whimpered, her already broken heart shattering further. The rest of the car ride was filled with cries from everyone. This was a terrible day, truly terrible. Once they got to the hospital they all rushed out of the car, making their way in the hospital and to the front desk as quickly as they could. "Henry Emily!?" Mercury squeaked out, his voice broken and scared. The receptionist took a moment, "He's still in surgery. We'll come to you when we have news, whats the relationship?" they asked, doing typey typey stuff. "Son- Im- im his son." Mercury responded, practically falling apart by the seems.
The receptionist nodded and typed some more, "We'll get you when we hear back. If you'd kindly wait in our waiting room." they said, not looking up at them. The four went to the waiting room. Micheal sat down, holding Liz in his lap and rubbing her back. Toby sat on the floor, bouncing his leg nervously as he barely kept themself from a panic attack. Mercury paced around, this could NOT be happening. What the fuck. Charlie was murdered by his best friend's father, now his Dad is in surgery because of a car crash. He was not having a good time. The four of them stayed there for hours. It was about 5am when some doctors came out, "Family for Henry Emily?" one of the doctors called out. Mercury and Toby, being the only two awake, went over fastly. "Is he ok!? What happened!? How is he!?" Toby and Mercury both asked in complete union.
One of the doctors sighed and looked at them both with sympathy. "We did all we could..." the doctor said quietly, "I'm sorry for your loss.."
