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.
(Yes, this is another...
Baseball sat up, his leg feeling numb. He blinked a few times and sighed as he realized he was back in the white padded room. "God dammit... We were so close..." He mumbled.
"Holy shit I'm Agender." Balloon said, mostly to themself.
Baseball glanced at them. "Wh- uh. Awesome.."
He turned around and saw Lightbulb staring at the wall. He stood up and walked over to her.
"...You okay? " He asked.
Lightbulb just kept staring at the wall with an unreadable expression. She slowly moved her hand up and placed it on the padding in front of her.
"...What's it like outside, Baseball...?" She asked quietly.
Baseball looked a little surprised. "Wh..Huh?"
Lightbulb turned her head to look at him with the same hollow and traumatized expression. She looked like she was just realizing what she was saying as she spoke. "I can't remember..." She started tearing up.
Baseball's eyes widened in horror. "Oh my god..." He whispered to himself. He fell to his knees as Lightbulb basically collapsed onto him, hugging him tightly as they both cried.
The door suddenly slammed open, making a loud thud as it hit the wall. Lightbulb yelped in surprise and started backing up a bit as she saw Test Tube in the doorway. Test Tube glanced at her and smiled slightly.
"You guys have new company!" She said, moving her hand from behind her back to reveal she was holding Goo. She stuck her arms straight out and dropped him onto the floor. Goo squished and popped back up, looking terrified and confused.
"That's all, I'll see you guys later once I think of another experiment." Test Tube walked back out and locked the door behind her.
"W-WHAT'S GOING ON?? WHERE ARE WE??" Goo yelled out, melting into a puddle on the ground.
Balloon limped over to him. "It's alright, this is just.. where we've been this whole time."
Goo looked up at Balloon. "So Test Tube's the one who made you guys go missing??" He asked in a shaky voice.
Balloon nodded. "Yeah."
"Hey, uh... How close are you guys to finding us...?" Baseball asked after a few moments.
Goo popped up a little. "T-they, uh... They said they were gonna do a meeting with everyone today, to ask if anyone knows more... B-but other than that, they've been at a dead end recently..." He responded.
Baseball blinked. "Oh..."
Lightbulb's head perked up. "What do you mean 'they'? Who all's looking for us?"
Goo took a breath and brought himself up fully before continuing. "Bot, Paintbrush and Fan started an investigation to find you guys the same day you went missing."
Lightbulb smiled a little. Balloon and Baseball glanced at each other.
"What've Nickel and Suitcase been doing?" Balloon hesitantly asked.
Goo thought for a second. "Bot told me they've been helping out a lot, but they're not fully into the investigation like the other three are."
"Hm.." Baseball looked down.
"They seemed kind of in denial about it, but I think they still really cared." Goo said reassuringly.
"That seems about right. I'm glad they're trying." Balloon smiled, as did Baseball.
Test Tube led the four of them down the hall and into another room. This one didn't have any walls or doors separating it though, it was almost like a part of the hallway itself had been cut out from the wall.
"I-I have a question..." Goo said nervously.
Test Tube turned to look at him. "Which is?"
"W-why am I here exactly..?"
"Oh, well that's simple." Test Tube began. "You are here to partake in my experiments alongside my other subjects. I chose you specifically this time because your physical attributes intrigue me, like the rest of them."
"Oh.." Goo looked away uncomfortably.
"So for today's experiment, I-" Test Tube began, before suddenly stopping.
Her subjects stared at her in confusion.
A beeping noise could be heard faintly from the other side of the lab. Test Tube turned around and stared down the hallway.
