(~◊'▪What's the Plan?▪◊'~)

~~Chapter 27~~

Previously...

"So, what's the plan?"

"Back for some more, I see?"

"I'll figure something out then."

"We should go once the footsteps are gone."

-------------------------------------------

After the footsteps left, Gregory and I carefully move out of the booth, looking around for the okay before completely getting out of the cramped space. I sigh, then look at Gregory.
"What do we do?" I murmur softly.

He hums and looks around before walking to the elevator, gesturing me to follow him. I nod in reply, and follow suit. Soon, we find ourselves in the Fazcade. I watch the brunette step out of the elevator we were in and look around. He glances back at me, then looks back ahead to look at all the games.

"...What are you doing?" I ask, jogging to walk beside him.
"Just observing." He replies after a second or two. "You know what's a little weird?"

I tilt my head. "What?"
"The initials "GGY" are number one in a lot of these." Gregory pauses, pulling his pointer finger up to gesture toward the name. "Funny thing is I don't even think those scores are possible. If they are, then they've gotta be really good with their hands." He comments, then starts walking along the games again.

I ignore the slight heat in my cheeks, as well as my thoughts, and linger my eyes on the number 1 spot. It's true, their score is super high. Coming here, I don't think I've seen anyone get scores as high as that. But I think nothing much of it, and decide to look around as well.

I'm thinking, if Vanessa's game was PQ, then whatever her name was would be around the same lines. Well, I'm not certain. There could be like, I dunno, something in her mask. What if it wasn't like Vanessa? What if she's doing this willingly..? Who would even do that...?

The sound of a laugh catches me off guard, and makes me look around. My eyebrows furrow and I move my eyes around the room, looking around the arcades. "Was probably just me.." I mutter under my breath. I turn around and walk over to Gregory.

"Hey Greg, did you hear that?" I question. The sound of my voice makes him look at me.
"Hear what?" The brunette replies in a confused tone.
"Here a giggle? It echoed, and sounded like a little girl's." I answer, getting a little concerned I was the only one who heard it.

He thinks for a second, turning his head before shaking it and looking back at me. "No, I didn't. You sure you heard it? You've been getting some sleep, right?"
I roll my eyes. "Of course I have. Whatever, it's okay. Let's just hurry. I don't want to stay here any longer than I have to."

He nods, lingering his gaze on mine for a few more seconds then turns. "Alright, let's get going then. There's a lot more places that need to be checked. Who knows what or where this game is." As he talks, he moves up the stairs to the next floor, dodging around a few STAFF bots.

---------------------------------------
Time skip because of laziness and no one wants
to read about walking back and forth through an arcade
---------------------------------------

After three hours, I groan and put my head against an arcade machine. "There's nothing here. We've checked all of the arcades! We even checked Roxy's Raceway."
He hums after giving my head a small pat. His hand still rests atop my head as he thinks.
"Maybe... What if we get rid of the glitch?" He questions.

I think for a moment, then look at him. "...Really? Do you even know how to do that?"
"No, but I bet Vanessa does?" Gregory says in response, looking at me.

"Guess it's worth a shot..." I murmur, picking my head up. He nods and lets his hand fall back to his side. "Alright then. Come on." He leads me toward the elevator to get out.

Sorry this is a shorter chapter. I've been trying to come up with ideas, and I'm torn between two. Also, I'm thinking once I 'finish' the book, I could make sort of one shots, I guess? And have all of you guys request what kind of concepts you want. Go ahead and be as creative as you want when/if I do decide to do this. But this isn't because I'm planning on ending the book any time soon, don't worry lol-
Anyway, have a good day/night~!
