Fonttale 2: Waking the World!

Chapter Twenty-Three: Heroes and Villains

"Hey uh, Dollface...?"

"..."

"What're ya' planning on doin' next?"

"I'm not starting another Holocaust if that's what you-"

"No no, I'm just wondering if World's virus is affecting-"

"No." Black Widow got up and walked out of the room.

I can't believe those were her last words...

"Maybe it was a joke to cheer you up..." said World hopefully.

"I think the old broad hit her noggin too many times on those stairs and got a little balled up at the end. It'd make sense."

No, she meant it. She really wanted to help the monsters and she really believed that was the best way.

She's never lied to me.

"Are you alright?"

I know she was a good person.

Was she too good though?

"I'm fine, no one came out of the rooms despite the screaming so this floor is clear. We should head up."

IS there such a thing...?

"Gal's right. If we could hear Pray from all the way downstairs surely someone in one of these rooms woulda' popped their heads to see the rumble."

Can doing the right thing be wrong, or is it vice versa?

I don't know what to think anymore...

Heading upstairs they heard a rapping on a door from another story, loud and persistent.

"What's all the ruckus?"

"COME ON NOW HIP NIPS, OPEN THE DOOR FOR AUNTIE BERTHA!"

"What'd that fella' say?"

"Looks like he and his aunt have been locked out of their room."

"Sh-should we help Widow?"

"...I don't know." Widow had a bad feeling about who ever was up there. She didn't know if it was because she had just seen her friend die or had been unknowingly traumatized by the demonic dog, but the idea of going upstairs made her nervous.

"I'm getting a bad feeling about this, I don't know if we should be buzzing anyone up there, remember we're crashers in this dive-"

"YOU LEFT KIBBLE NIPPLES OUT HERE, DON'T YOU WANT HIM BACK?"

"I-is he talking about the dog?" asked Black Widow grimacing.

Ew...

Sinner Script's brow furrowed, he was just as disturbed as Black Widow.

Who in the hell names their pooch Kibble Nipples?

"I think so." Goodbye Cruel World climbed the steps and after a full ten minutes, returned. The look on her face implied that she'd just gotten back from a war.

"You alright girlie?"

"There's no aunt...just a guy in a dress smiling way too big...you don't want to talk to him."

"He's not coming down is he...?"

"No, he wants to get in the room upstairs-"

"I say we dry-gulch em' and get inside ourselves. Maybe someone we know is held up in there."
