In a small little world, there are cruel laws and unfair roles. Angels, known as Highgrounders live in the sky. They make up the laws and government. They're all rich. On the surface of earth are the Middlegrounders. These are normal objects, which...
Lightbulb and Paintbrush are walking through a field. Paintbrush is wearing a red Jacket with pockets, and they've got a pistol for protection. There is always a high chance of getting jumped or attacked in the middlegrounds. Lightbulb is holding a map. She glances up at a hill.
"Look! There it is!" She smiles and takes Paintbrush's hand. "Woah! Slow down! We have to act normal." They say sternly. "Awh.. Well what are we waiting for, silly! Let's look at the village we're moving into!" She says happily.
Eventually they get up the hill. A sign read "Rainyhills Village." It was a small, poor, broken down, and dirty village. Lightbulb's smile faded. Paintbrush was disappointed, but it's what they were expecting, if they were being honest.
"Oh.. Uhm.. It's..." She paused. "It's better than living with your abusive parents. Now let's go look for somewhere to stay." They start walking down the first row of small houses. People didn't seem very friendly.
After about 30 minutes of searching for a house that didn't seem suspicious, or- the least suspicious house. they finally found one. It was a blue house.

Lightbulb stood there awkwardly. Paintbrush glanced down at her. "Ugh. Fine. I'll knock." They roll their eyes and walk up the stairs, they take a deep breath, and knock on the door with lightbulb standing behind them.
A cabinet lady opens the door. "Hmm? Are you guys new? I've never seen you before!" The lady asks. "Yeah! We just arrived!" Lightbulb says with a smile. "Yeahh.. Uhm. So.. We had to escape from an abusive guardian, and we're looking for a place to stay. Do you think we could stay here for a while?" Paintbrush asks the lady.
"Hmm.. Well, let me see what my sister thinks! Test Tube! Come here for a minute please!" She yells for someone inside the house. A test tube walks up beside the cabinet lady. "Who are these?" The test tube asks. "These are some people looking for a place to stay."
"Uhm.. Well first of all, how old are you guys? And what are your names? Sorry- I just wanna at least know your names before we let you in." The test tube says with an awkward smile. "My name's Lightbulb! And this is my buddy, Paintbrush! I'm 15, and they're 16!" Lightbulb giggles.
"They seem friendly-" Test Tube whispers to Cabby. "Sure. You can stay for a little. We apologize.. It's pretty small, anddd we haven't gotten to clean it for a while due to work and stuff." Test Tube says. Both Cabby and Test Tube step aside to let Lightbulb and Paintbrush in.
Lightbulb looks around curiously, there was a red couch, a television, a carpet on the floor, and a lamp. It wasn't really that dirty, but it was a little dusty. There was also a staircase and a small ceiling fan in the living room. Cabby closes the door. "So! I guess we forgot to introduce ourselves! I'm Cabby! Nice to meet you! And this is my sister Test Tube!.. Ah, I'm sorry if we struggle to get along. It's a normal sibling thing I guess." Cabby says.
"Awh don't worry! Me and my buddy painty don't always get along either!" She pats them. Paintbrush moves her hand away. "Uh, excuse me. Do you guys have a room we can stay in? I just wanna.. Get used to being here." Paintbrush asks. "Oh! Uh, we have upstairs, but that's just an attic. There's nothing in there but we have some extra mattresses we can put in there for you guys!" Cabby says.
