Zone 0. That was where Batter was dropped off, he didn't know what was happening just he was told he was one a mission to Purify the world? He has a Puppeteer? Oh boy he didn't know what to do! Smoke suddenly wafts from his mouth making him flinch.. right. Stay calm don't lose control- he here's a buzzing sound and suddenly a person is next to him, he jumps while holding his bat in front of him.. a head tilt. The person stares at him they were certainly odd looking.. they had no face just a question mark, on their chest was an X.. they were pretty short and was pure white.. white hurt his eyes. Batter adverts his eyes. "H-Hello.. uh.. s-sorry for my freak o-out.. you surprised me is all.." the person nods ".... . .-.. .-.. --- / -... .- - - . .-. --..-- / .. .----. -- / -.-- --- ..- .-. / .--. ..- .--. .--. . - . . .-. .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- / -- .- -.-- / -.-. .- .-.. .-.. / -- . / .--. .-.. .- -.-- . .-. / .. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- .----. -.. / .-- .. ... .... .-.-.-" Batter tilts his head.. he didn't understand.. "C-Come again?" He shuffles his feet carefully meeting where he thought their eyes were, they suddenly understand and then carefully say "Can you understand me now?" He nods, their voice sounded nice.. he liked their voice, they seem like their smiling "I said 'Hello Batter, I'm your Puppeteer. You may call me Player if you'd wish.' ok?" He nods again, a smile crosses his face.. it quickly dissapears when he realizes they could see his sharp teeth, he steps back and covers his mouth.. another puff of smoke. The Player flinches and walks forwards carefully, they put a hand on his back and rub it and murmur "It's alright. Now, let's find this Judge.. ok?" He nods, they take his hand and give it a gentle squeeze then lead him forward.. he liked them.. they were nice. He looks down at the ground when he realizes.. he dropped his bat.. were they going to get mad at him? He tries to hop off that train of thought.. smoke.. he looks at their hand.. he squeezes it, they squeeze back. He smiles softly barely noticeable, when he sees a cat. It was small but looked very soft.. his Player notices his amazed look and slightly laughs.. they release his hand and nod to the cat he steps forward "My, I must say this is a surprise.. usually I barely have the chance to encounter creatures in this Zone.. this is very surprising.. but no matter. I shall introduce myself- I am The Judge.. and am aching to know your name dear.. elusory beings." The Player nods at Batter who manages to get over his surprise and quietly stutter out "I-Im am The Batter.. I-I am on a-a sacred mission to.. to help the Zones by making.. t-them nicer.. and this is Player-" he ends it there and steps behind his Player slightly, Judge laughs kindly "My such a tough man is very shy? This world has so many wonders! But it is a pleasure to meet you and your Player." Judge nods politely to each, then continues "But it seems you need a guide? Is this correct?" Player nods, "Absolutely.. I- we. We're wondering if you could help us out?" The Judge nods with a purr "Why of course! Everyone loves cats! We do wonders for your health.. so come along. I shall guide you through this leiu." He turns around and walks over to a small window in a building up ahead, Batter looks at his Player who looks back.. they seemed happy. Batter looks down, it was now or never, "I-I dropped my bat.. back there.. I'm sorry.." Player nods and says with a smile in their tone "You may get it if you'd like." He nods and walks back to grab it.. once done he goes up to his Player, they grab his hand and lead him forward.. his mission to help was going to start.

Alrighty! How was this? I think it was pretty good! Headcannon(?) In this where Batter disliked looking at white was from a story in Archive of our own, I don't really remember the person who made it.. sorry. Another Headcannon is the Morse Code. I have a Headcannon that the Player speaks in Morse Code because.. Well- they can't speak. But hope you liked this first chapter- tell me what you think in the um.. comment section (is that what it's called?)
