Doomed To Laminax (Interactive Kaiju Paradise Book)

1: Where Am I?

My eyes slowly open, my conscious coming back to me. I blink rapidly, as something bright shines on me from above. My eyes adjusting, I stare at a ceiling with loads of lights. I cover my eyes with my right arm, to not go blind, shifting my head to the right. Taking in my surroundings, I realise I'm sat against a wall, next to a few shelves and whatnot. I look around, still sitting down, seeing a blue sci-fi laser barrier looking thing.

'Where...am I? That fuckin' guy with the tranquilizer..' I think to myself. Looking straight ahead, I see a counter with boxes and more shelves behind it. Suddenly, a figure pops up from under the counter, looking at me. It takes my eyes a bit to adjust, but the figure...isn't human. I stand up, cold blood running through my body, before the 'thing' speaks up.

"Just gonna stand there? C'mon, whatchya want?" The thing asks. I stay quiet, taking a closer look at it, and it looks like a raccoon or something..but...it can talk? And stand on two legs? I've got to be dreaming. "Ya gonna answer me, or.." The thing asks. "Uh...can you explain to me..uhm...who you are?" I ask, finally speaking up.

"Oh, you're a newcomer..I see...well, come closa' and I'll tell ya." The thing says. I reluctantly walk over to the counter, about two or three yards away from the thing. "Anyway, well, the name's Bandit. I'm the shopkeeper here!" The thing says, opening their arms wide into the air, then putting them back down. "Shopkeeper?" I ask. "Yep, I run this little shop and hand over some of ma precious weapons." Bandit says.

"Uhm...why do you have a stock of weapons, if you mind?" I ask. "Well..uh..hmmm...I'm not sure how to put it for you...let's just say there's other people, kinda like me...in this place, who aren't very fond of ya." Bandit replies. "You mean..like...animals that also stand up, and talk?" I ask. "Yep!" Bandit replies. 'Great....' I think to myself. "Before ya go..or..research about this place, I gotta hand ya somethin'." Bandit says.

"Yeah? W-what is it?" I ask. Bandit goes under the counter, then coming back up with a metal bat in their hands, er..paws? Whatever...

Then, handing it to me. I take it, and take a moment to look at it a bit. "You'll need that incase the..'others' try to harm ya." Bandit says. "Okay..I'll gladly take it then.." I reply. "WAIT! I almost forgot!" Bandit exclaims, going back under the counter, pulling out what looks like a sling with a gun, but with a slot for something attached to it. "Here, it's a bat holster. Er..sheathe..whatever you humans want to call it!" Bandit exclaims, offering it to me.

I take it, trying to put my bat into the slot. It perfectly fits. I then take it and swing it around my back, tightening the sling to my chest. "Thanks..." I say. "Yeah, no problem! There's a small room behind you by the way, ya should find at least one or two people willing to help ya out. Cya 'round." Bandit replies. I wave, turning around and seeing a small open area. I walk up to it, noting a desk with a computer, a flat-screen TV on the wall, and a few bushes, along with a tree to the left.

I look to the right, seeing someone else in the room with me. They're wearing some sort of grey camo, with boots and a gaiter face mask. They also seem to have a sheathe like the bat one I have, but it holds a katana instead of a bat. They also have black hair, swept away from their face to the sides of their head. They look up at me, reaching a hand out. I put my hand there, shaking with them. "Greetings. You must be new, correct?" They ask.

"Yeah...I honestly don't know where I am or what's going on.." I reply. "That's good. I'll teach you how to ah...live here." They say. "Okay...well, Bandit already told me a few things about this place..." I say. "Oh, that's nice." They reply. "Uh..what's your name? Mine's Xavier." I ask. "I'm Kalton. Weird name, I know." They reply. "Sure is an interesting one...haha..." I say, chuckling lightly.

"Well, I got to tell you something..." Kalton says. "Yeah?" I ask. "Ah..how do I put this...you're trapped in here. The exit doesn't work." Kalton says. I stand in silence for a few seconds. "Really? So I'm trapped in here for god knows how long?" I ask. "Yep. Nothing I can do for you, sorry." Kalton replies. I stand there for a bit, not sure how to react. "On the bright side, you'll stay here with me."
