Buckler rushed out of the room before the man got a good look at him. As soon as the doors closed behind him, he quickened his pace as he walked towards the kitchen, unsure whether to discuss it to somebody or keep it to himself. Buckler wasn't afraid of no one believing him, he had the ability to control his hair with his natural electricity for crying out loud, no he was afraid of alerting possible enemies. Buckler thought about it for a while, after pacing around the kitchen he ultimately decided to keep it as a secret. It has only been 4 days since he signed that contract so he still cannot determine who are allies and who are foes. Buckler was about to leave when 2 guys came in, pushing 2 refrigerators on pulleys that look a bit too small. One guy asked Buckler between gasps of air, "Is this the kitchen?", Buckler was caught off guard and screamed. The guy stumbled back a bit, causing the fridge to nearly fall. Buckler, fortunately, gathered his thoughts at the last moment, he lunged forward catching the fridge and putting it back on the pulley as steadily as he could. As Buckler stepped away from the fridge, he heard a sigh of relief behind him, The guy was not as angry as Buckler thought he would be. The guys were about to leave when one of the men had their face scrunched up, his face lit up in such a way you could hear the gears in his head clicking. The man said " we had to bring a fridge to the kitchen but "someone" forgot which one to bring", his partner snapped his head in their direction "Really?" he asked, in a really low voice, "at least I didn't have to go to the bathroom three times in that meeting, anyways which one is it anyway?". Buckler was confused, "well, a fridge is a fridge" said the inner conscience of Buckler, Buckler agreed with himself and picked the cooler looking one with an epic sticker on it. The guys put the fridge in place and left with a wave. Buckler looked at the kitchen once more, smiled and moved his sleeping bag away from the fridge since he didn't want to get hypothermia from the cold or something like that. He looked around, turned off the lights, and went to bed.
