Sleep

Part 23

"So you weren't joking"

"How is that possible?!"

"Wait so can we feel if she touches-"

"-we sure it's not a hacker?"

Words flooded in, confused people occasionally overlapping their friends sentences and questions. A large grin spread from cheek to cheek as I took in the voices, actually coming directly through this time, but instead of from my watch, they came through little speakers appearing above the characters heads.

Looking up, I noticed a blue Luchador standing on my other side, opposite the pikachu fox.

I heard Cartoonz voice cut through the loud talking and the others silent down as he started to speak, but didn't pay attention.

"Dellie!" I giggled, standing and wrapping my little arms around the wrestler. I didn't for a second consider that the characters could have been swapped, but thankfully when the reply came, it was above the right characters head.

"Luna." It sounded like a deep breath was taken, before he continued. "How are you here?"

It was kind of weird hearing the bubbly voice of H2O Delirious sounding low, almost sad. It didn't suit him at all and I wanted to help make it better.

"It was when I fell asleep again. But don't worry!" I hugged tighter, before letting go and pulling back to look into the round white eyes of his character "I can just stop sleeping!"

In the back of my mind I realised that the other chatter had dwindled down to silence, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting that laugh back.

Well, it didn't matter until someone else interrupted.

"You can't just stop sleeping..."

Turning my head to frown at the brown bear who had spoken, I pulled my arms away from Del, crossing them instead over my chest.

"Why not?" I grumbled, before my hand flew up to slap my forehead. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I'm Luna! And I know everyone here, so don't worry about introductions." I giggled out, skipping toward the brown bear to shake his hand. "Is it cool if I say Marcel?"

"What the-" could be heard mumbled from him, but I just continued talking.

"Or because I don't know you is it better to say Basically? Because I don't want to be rude." The rapid hand shaking stopped and I stepped back, looking around. "Oh hey Ohm!" I called out to the red dinosaur, who had stopped head banging at some point.

"Hey Luna" was said back, at almost the same time as Marcel spoke.

"Uh, Marcel is fine... You have a strong grip." he huffed out in what sounded like surprise, and I pouted.

"I'm s-"

My sentence was cut off by 407, who jumped in with shock.

"So you did feel it?" He said, and almost immediately I heard at least two sighs of frustration. I guess the repetitive explaining and disbelief was becoming annoying.

"Yeah dude, I told you!" MiniLadd shouted while running over, the funny thing on top of his light blue chicken onesie head flopping back and forth as he went. "It's so insane!"

"It's cool, and I don't mean to interrupt," Cartoonz said, walking toward us with Delirious by his side "but we have problems to deal with. One, how do we stop this from happening? And two, how the fuck are we meant to help her out?"

Delirious' characters hand reached out for me as they stopped behind me, and I willingly let myself be pulled into the warm chest with a smile, hiding my face in it.
