Benefit rubbed his eyes.

He looked around the claustrophobic space he found himself in along with the many number of blanket he was nested in… He must've fallen asleep. Due to the events that had happened the day before, he didn't know if he would be able to. Yet, he did, quite soundly too. No nightmares (new ones anyways) or monsters to scare him awake.

He sat up from his warm bed, his new glow illuminating his small sleeping area. The glow which he hoped he could learn more about today. When he came back to the hideout, Tyche was currently doing her required patrol. How did she get put on patrol duty? Heck if he knows…

However Tyche should be back by now, so Benefit took this time to crack all of his old bones back into place, before crawling out of his small sleeping area.

As he opened the door to his sleeping area, he was quickly blinded by the bright lights of the backrooms. The buzzing sound, the bright yellow color, the many rows of lights made Benefit's skull ache.

It hadn't even been twelve hours since the attack, yet it had felt like weeks.

Many OCs felt anxious to even move from where they were standing, worried they might alert a static of their location. He didn't blame them, of course, after being driven from SET to SET, losing many good OCs and friends in the process, it felt very odd… He felt lucky to even be alive. If it weren't for Spade, (Whose name he learned from Xphese) he would've been static food for certain.

Benefit limped to the main room, where he instantly spotted Tyche, being as flamboyant as usual. He especially eyed her outfit. She was wearing her usual white and gold color pallette, except her dress was cut in a way where your direction was brought to her chest and pelvis.
He gritted his teeth.

There are children here… Why the hell is she wearing that…

Tyche looked over at Benefit and excitedly waved him over.

“Alex!!! Hello!!! Come join us.” She yelled out. Benefit gruffed in embarrassment as other OCs attention was directed toward him as he scuttled over to Tyche.

“Ohoho!! Good morning, Alex! I tried to greet you  earlier but the others said you were sleeping like a babe, so I thought ot would be best to not disturb you.” Tyche exclaimed, holding a cyrstal glass of wine, which was odd saying there was no access to fine china or wine in this area.

Benefit hugged his arms uncomfortably.

When he first met Tyche, she seemed like a glimpse of hope, like some how and some way Isacc and him could leave together alive. However, now he can only see her as some trickster he sold his soul to…

“Actually Tyche… I was hoping you could tell me about the elephant in the room?” Benefit stared at Tyche.

She stared back, not knowing what he was talking about.

“Tyche, my outfit!” Benefit whispered loudly, gesturing at his outfit.

Tyche seemed confused, “What in order’s grace do you mean? You look fabulous, Alex!” She looked him up and down, biting her lip.

Benefit stumbled over his words, shocked at her reply.
“I- Er- No! Why- How! How did this happen?”

Tyche casually sipped her wine, “Well I would guess you were in some form of situation where you needed things to happen in your favor, and your contact does state that I am legally supposed to help you in some way, so… Boom, magic forcefield. You can't be touched! You're so welcome.” She said it in a teasing tone as she booped him on the nose.

Benefit took a step back, “Well, I- I dont see why that would require a random wardrobe change?? And… My other outfit is probably gone-” Benefit was cut off.
