Baseball, Lightbulb, and eventually Balloon are captured by Test Tube and forced to partake in experiments that slowly get more and more dangerous. Meanwhile, their friends back at Hotel OJ are desperately trying to find them.

WITH OST
Balloon sent the message to Nickel and walked out of the hotel. He was going out on a walk to clear his mind. He wasn't necessarily close to any of the objects that had gone missing, but he still felt tense in the hotel knowing they were gone. Balloon felt a bit more at ease as he walked through the nearby forest. 'Man, I really needed this.' He thought.
He heard a rustling noise in the distance, but assumed it to just be a squirrel or something. He continued walking and decided to take a small rest on a tree stump. He closed his eyes, just listening to the wind blowing through the trees. He suddenly felt some sort of cloth wrap around his mouth from behind him. His eyes widened in alarm as he struggled to get free. He started feeling nauseous as the forest around him felt like it was spinning, and a few moments later he finally fell unconscious.
Balloon woke up in a different location, still feeling tired and dizzy. He tried to move his hand down to rub his head, but it was restrained above him. He realized he was strapped to some sort of metal operating table, which was positioned facing outwards at around a 45 degree angle. He looked around him and saw he was in a small room, and saw someone familiar sitting in a chair on the other side of the room.
"Test Tube...?" Balloon mumbled, still feeling the effects of whatever that substance was.
Test Tube looked up at Balloon and smiled, which made him even more uncomfortable.
"Where've you been..? We've been.. looking for you.." Balloon struggled to get his words out with how drowsy he was.
"I've just been here. And now, you are too!" Test Tube responded cheerily.
"Huh? ..What is this place...? Why am I...." Balloon didn't even finish his thought before Test Tube spoke up again.
"Looks like the chloroform is still having it's effects, huh?" She observed. "No worries, I can fix that!" She grabbed a syringe and walked over to Balloon.
"This should wake you up a bit," She explained, before injecting some of the liquid into his arm.
Balloon winced at the injection, but he started feeling more awake after several moments. He now had the energy to properly ask all the questions he had.
"Wh- did you bring the others down here too? Is this where they've been??"
Test Tube ignored his questions, walking over to a small table in the middle of the room. On the table was several vials of different chemicals. She picked up one of the vials and walked back over to Balloon.
"None of that is relevant right now." She said blankly. "What is relevant is this experiment. I haven't tested out this chemical yet, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to test it out." She held up the vial, the label on it looked like a doctor's handwriting in terms of how unreadable it was. Balloon stared at it nervously.
"Wh-what're you gonna do with it..?" He asked.
"Well, since this one in particular is quite acidic," Test Tube began. "I'm going to see the effects it has on an object's body."
Balloon knew he probably shouldn't argue against her, even though he really wanted to. "Can I have some anesthesia first..?"
"No." Test Tube responded bluntly, quickly turning the vial upside down and dumping most of the substance directly onto Balloon's leg.
Balloon instantly shrieked in pain, trying to pull his leg out of the restraint as the chemical burned through it. Tears streamed down his face as he pleaded for the pain to end. After several moments, it eventually did start to fizzle out as the nerves surrounding the area were fried. The chemical eventually severed through his leg entirely, leaving only a stump attached to him.
"Wow, that was pretty quick.." Test Tube observed. She loosened the strap around Balloon's now-detached leg and picked it up from the table, leaving the room for a minute to dispose of it.
Balloon just laid there, crying in shock and pain. Test Tube returned to the room and cleaned up the stump of his leg. "The reason I decided to bring you down here in the first place is actually quite interesting," Test Tube began as if she hadn't just burned a man's leg off. "See I went up to the surface in the first place to find MePhone4, so I could use his abilities to generate objects and use the MeLife system." Test Tube pointed beside the table Balloon was on. Balloon had to strain his eyes a bit to look over there, but sure enough, there was MePhone. He was just sitting there limply with no face visible on his screen, despite it showing his signature blue wallpaper.
"I was walking through the forest near the Season 2 location to bring him back to the lab," Test Tube continued. "When I saw you sitting there. I decided your physical attributes are quite unique, and I had quite a few ideas of tests to run, so I brought you back here!"
Balloon stared at Test Tube in horror. He couldn't even find words, he was just so baffled at why she would do something like this.
"Your body's reliance on helium intrigues me." Test Tube stated. "I have a few things I'd like to test regarding that as well."
Test Tube grabbed an empty syringe and gently stuck it into Balloon, careful not to pop him. She extracted most of the helium out of him, and Balloon groaned in discomfort as he began deflating. Test Tube pinched the opening she'd created close as she removed the syringe. She then injected him with normal air, which returned him to his normal size again. Test Tube bandaged the small hole as to not leak the air, and Balloon's head felt strange as he was not used to being filled with air like this. Test Tube then turned to MePhone4.
"MePhone, spawn a stick!" She called out. A few seconds later, a stick materialized next to MePhone.
Test Tube picked up the stick and jammed it into the end of Balloon's leg, causing him to yelp in pain. She bandaged them together and took Balloon off the table.
"Alright, I'll take you to your room with the others now." She said, leading him out of the room. 'Leading' as in she dragged him out by the arm. She opened the door to the padded room Lightbulb and Baseball were in, and tossed Balloon into the middle of the room before locking the door again.
"Balloon??" The other two said in surprise.
Balloon sat up and stared at them. "THIS is where you've been???"
Lightbulb cut him off. "OMGA WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOUR LEG???"
Balloon looked down at his leg, as he hadn't gotten a good look at it yet. He instantly felt like he was gonna throw up just looking at it, so he looked away.
"I... I don't wanna talk about that.." He responded uncomfortably.
They all sat there in silence for a few minutes, until Baseball finally spoke up.
gonna start putting specific trigger warnings on the next chapters, as well as adding them to the preexisting ones cuz i feel like theyre gonna get more necessary after this point
