(No-one's POV:)

          It was cold. The sky was dark and bleak.. The wind was chilly, with the faint cusp of snow in the air. "It's funny.. Just earlier this year, everything was fine.. But how did it go wrong?" Fan thought bitterly, his thoughts were interrupted by someone distantly calling his name. He couldn't make out who it was.. He saw the Shimmer's ship, but it had landed, and was cracked and broken. The Meeple logo, the one even Mephone4 feared. Smoke poured out of the ship. The air became heavy and dense, it was choking him.

Fan watched as the landscape shifted, first to the pristine ship's walls, hearing Cobs' and his wicked laughter. The landscape shifted to Cobs' place, a cheery voice laughing with some deep-rooted chuckling. Two shapes, yellow and brown. Two more, green and red. The green was shaking the red, who was asleep on the table. Calling Fan's name.

Fan stepped back, slipping off a cliff and ending up in the last place he wanted to be, one line, three stuck to trees. Fan nearly choked on tears, gray, white and green, and white. Three figures, one stuck-up, one motherly, one a distant friend. Colorful mold stuck on them, growing like poison ivy. Eyes hollow and upturned, dry and bleak, beautiful yet horrifying. He tore his gaze away, feeling two hands on his shoulders, they pulled him out. Like a fish out of water.


"Hey! LET ME-"

(Fan's POV:)


             Raspy voice.. Someone's name..Devoid of whispers..All the same it's-

"FAN! ARE YOU CRAZY?! THIS IS IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH! NOT SOME NAP-TIME!"

           Oh, he'd forgotten. He was supposed to be helping out Test Tube with her research on the mold. How could he have forgotten? Test Tube brushed some of her curls out of her face. Sighing as she put a hand on her face. 

"Honestly, why do I even expect any help? Never get any, and besides! Clearly no-one is patient or atleast smart enough to.." Words began to drift off like some kind of book.

"Well.."

"I ought to.."

"Paper-

        Fan flinched at the name. "Paper, I miss him.. I guess..? I'm not sure anymore.. But he's gone.. OJ didn't deserve that.. He was gonna propose, and now Paper's dead."

        Fan thought, picking at some scabs on his knuckles that'd been there for a while now. He cocked his head to the side, eyebrows raised while his attention was glued onto the scabs. Acting like he was paying attention, mumbling and nodding to pretend like he was listening. Test Tube was rambling on again, pacing around the room, she noticed Fan wasn't looking, snapped in front of his face, waved, before finally slamming her hand on the table. Unfortunately losing some of the gadgets, clattering to the floor which finally snapped Fan out of his dreamland.

"FAN! I- were you- you weren't paying attention.. You know what?" Test Tube picked up some supplies for gathering samples.

"Screw this, I'm going to visit them for some samples. Do you want to come?" Test Tube asked, her voiced practically burning with a seething annoyance and hatred for those who didn't listen. 


"M-Me..? W-Well I-"




"It's a simple question." She leaned forward, her eyes burning with anticipation. "Yes or no."










"I-I'll pass..

"Suit yourself."



         The sound of her heavy boots clacking along the floor was so much more relieving. It'd felt like a giant weight had been lifted. He was so happy.. He couldn't bear to see those three anyways, Balloon, Lifering and OJ were so distraught over it.. All their corpses.. In a straight line.. It was a tad much for Fan anyways. Besides, he was always nervous around blood or decaying things unless they were in fanfictions.

       He never understood how people could withstand seeing their dead friends and keep going. It just felt too much.. Besides..


                                       What's he good for anyways?
