Twisted Asylum

By The Water Fountain

I had MAJOR writers block while writing this one, and it's a bit short, so I hope it's okay!! 💜

-- Walk to the central fountain ✓
Option chosen!!
----------------------------

The soft sounds of the running fountain fill my ears as I approach it. It was a huge thing, like something you'd find in a garden centre.

I take a deep breath, enjoying the soft splashing of the fountain.

"Ah, Doctor L/N. Good morning." A smooth voice pipes up.

I turn, seeing Azul sitting in his wheelchair next to the fountain. I smile politely at him. "Azul, hello. What are you doing out here?" I walk over to him, sitting on the wall of the fountain.

"Just enjoying this weather. It's quite lovely, wouldn't you agree?" He spoke with a suave smile. His hands steepled in front of his nose, tentacles lazily curling around his wheelchair.

I nod, crossing one leg over another.

I glance around, before noticing two folded wheelchairs and... A pile of clothes? "Uh.. whose are those?" I ask Azul as I point at the belongings.

He raises an eyebrow, before chuckling smoothly. "Those? Oh, those belong to Jade and Floyd, my dear."

"The twins?" Looking around, they are nowhere to be seen. "Where are they?"

Splash!! A pair of cold, wet arms encircle me from behind. "Doctor Shrimpy!!"

I yelp in surprise, nearly falling back into the water. "Wh- Floyd?!"

He giggles manically, his chin resting on your shoulder. "Hi~"

"Where did you come from-?" I ask in bewilderment, looking back at him.

Floyd looked much different now, probably in his mer-form. His long, serpentine body coiled up near where I was sitting.

Jade peeks his head out of the water nearby, before smirking and swimming over. "Floyd, it's not polite to smother people. Even if you like them."

Floyd pouts, almost growling at his twin.

"Floyd, please, you're practically pulling me into the fountain-" I say in mild panic, not wanting to get wet in this weather.

Floyd suddenly let's go, cackling as I nearly fall off of the wall. Jade's hand on my back stops me though. Azul reaches to help me, but practically shudders, not yet comfortable with touch.

Jade chuckles smoothly as you stand back up, and Floyd has started to do laps in the fountain.

I sit with the three for a while, asking a few questions about how they've been doing, and getting occasionally splashed by the eels.

Eventually, I make my way to a different area, giving Azul a wave as Jade and Floyd lean on the edge of the fountain.

I walk to...

--------------------

-- Move along the wall of the building

-- Walk towards the outer fence

-- Walk along the middle path towards the outdoor tables

FreyrBear's fact of the day!!! A regular mantis shrimp punches with the force of a bullet.

Therefore, if said mantis shrimp was the size of a man, the punch would have the same amount of force as eight sticks of dynamite.
