"Hey Xeph!" Honeydew said excitedly as I walked into the lobby and jumped up to sit on the reception desk.
"Hey Honeydew."
"Oh! Could we do the thing that we were going to do yesterday?"
"Eh... sure, why not!" I gave him a crooked smile and stood up. He followed me as I walked to the room, both of us talking the whole way there.
We walked into the holographic room, which was meant to look like a park, and I looked around and sighed. Half annoyed by the villagers and half annoyed by where we were.
"Wrong room..." I muttered and Honeydew raised an eyebrow as we started leaving.
Before we could exit, I heard Honeydew let out a terrifying scream, sending chills down my spine. I turned around quicker than my brain could process what was happening around me. It was all moving too quickly, my heart, my eyes, my mind and the giant plant green plant starting to wrap around my waist and ankles.
My dwarf friend wasn't even touched, probably because the plant was so focused with myself and some other scientists, "Honeydew! Run!"
"But-"
"I said run, dammit! Fucking run!"
"Where do I go?! What do I do?! I'm not just going to leave you here!" he barked back. Dammit! He's being a mutinous clone! Right now, out of all times!
"Fuck, I don't know! I'll respawn anyways! It doesn't matter!"
"It does to me Lewis!" Shit, did I accidentally put him on teenager mode or something?! Do we have a teenager mode?! I DON'T KNOW!
"Look, there's a- a chainsaw- FUCK this thing has a very strong grip... there's the fire axe somewhere around here, but- SHIT- fuckin' hell... there- there's a chainsaw in- in the next room over, to the right, I think- PLEASE HURRY!" I was slowly being squeezed to death and it hurt my ribs and lungs, it was hard to breath, really. The dwarf slowly realized how dangerous this assumed-carnivorous plant would be and ran off through the door, "Fuuuuuuuckkkkk, who's idea was this?!"
My head pounded harder than my heart did, and my heart was pounding hardcore. I felt like I was deteriorating from the inside-out very slowly, the other scientists seemed to be in even more pain, wails of agony escaping their lips as I still tried to struggle out of the diamond grip. (Heh...)
"Xeph are you alright?!" Honeydew asked worriedly as he ran in wielding a giant chainsaw -well it was giant compared to the dwarf at least. I continued struggling, clearly out of breath, but still trying. He ran over to where the stem met the dirt and aggressively drove the chainsaw through the lower-stem. The plant didn't growl or groan or even make a noise, just the BAM when it hit the floor, Dew ran over to me and helped me up.
"Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine..." I said semi-confidently, but when I stood up a let out a moan, "Bloody 'ell! That thing's- it's got a strong fuckin' grip, that's for sure..."
"Could get the government off our butts," he joked as he stepped next to me to support.
"I do not want to deal with that ever again... who ever made that, they're seriously grounded!" I growled and Honeydew looked at me, worried again.
"Xephos..? Are you sure you're alright?"
"What do you think? My side aches, breathing hurts, my head is throbbing and I don't even know what's happened here!"
"Sorry..."
"You don't need to be sorry- unless you're the one who made this stupid plant thing!"
"Uh- no. No, that wasn't me actually. I have no idea who that was. Promise, Xephos," my brain wasn't functioning properly, but it sounded like he genuinely did not know, so I believed him.
"Alright..."
A/N: I had to write something, it was killing me...
