For the 13th time that week, Creepuscule has broken its drumplate once again. It was the 13th time every Wublin on the island had to hear that glass shattering sound.

"Seriously, you did that again?!" Zynth buzzed. "That's like... the millionth time today!" it flew over to Creepuscule, who was of course, not happy about the accident.

"YEAH, You don't have to sound so shocked! Geez," the long necked monster snapped.

"Sorry, Creeps..." the Zynth muttered quietly in shame.

"Bah, sorry I yelled at you- I'm just so... annoyed! These things keep getting more and more fragile, I swear..!" it nodded, tapping one piece of the shattered plate with its chin, dragging it to the side. "Hey," Creepuscule realized. "Maybe YOU can get another replacement? I don't like seeing our creator go in there and only end up getting hurt..."

"No way," Zynth shouted. "Our creator has such a creepy lab... if you call it one! Wubbox keeps on coming back from there with at least one bruise or scratch EVERY TIME! ...But maybe I can find someone else who can do it?"

"Man, that'd be heeeelllpful! Thanks..." Creepuscule said with a heavy layer of sarcasm, hinting that plan was exactly what Zynth SHOULDN'T DO. Zynth seemed completely oblivious to it, though, as it gave Creepuscule a cheerful response.

"No problem, Creepsy-Doo!" Zynth buzzed, flying to the other side of the island to ask Whajje.

Well this is great... Zynth thought. No one has said 'Oh sure, why not!' or 'Ok fine...' or ANYTHING that'd suggest they would help. ...Except for Thwok. Thwok was a rather brave fellow according to the others, and normally, it said 'Yes' to ANYTHING you'd ask. Zynth fluttered to Thwok, who groaned upsettingly.

"Oh great... I already know what you're going to asthk..." Thwok sputtered.

"Really? So you're going into Wubboxs lab?!"

"Of coursthe I a- wait what." Thwok, shocked, stepped backwards in shock.

"Great! Thanks a ton, buddy pal chum friend!" Zynth pointed at the stairs, leading to the underground lab. "Lab's right over there if you need some help finding it!" Thwok didn't need any guidance anyway, it stared at the stairs like it was staring at its own grave before Zynth could say a word about where the lab was.
