Chapter 2: Baby

Bryan turned around. "Um, what?"

Baby smiled. "Didn't you hear me? My name is Baby the Clown! But you can just call me Baby."

Bryan stepped forward, still a little confused about Goldie's sudden disappearance. "Okay, then. I'm Bryan."

Baby tilted her head. "Bryan? No, that won't do at all. I won't remember that. How about...Chris!"

"But that's not-!"

"Anyways! You're new to the underground, aren't cha! Gosh, you must be really confused!"

Bryan sighed. Baby was definitely rude, but it was in his best interest to be nice. "Yes, I am. Do you mind explaining any of this to me?"

Baby smiled. "Of course! Let's start with the basics."

Bryan started to feel a weird glow in his chest. Then, out of nowhere, a red heart appeared in front of him.

"This is your soul, the very culmination of your being!"

Bryan laughed nervously. "Oh, okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

His soul disappeared, hopefully to be put back in his body. "Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV."

"LV? What does that stand for?"

"LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you? Don't worry, I'll share some with you!"

"Wait, what?"

Suddenly, little flowers surrounded him.

"Down here, LOVE is shared through... little friendliness flowers!"

Okay, that sounds a little suspicious.

"Are you ready? Move around! Get as many as you can!"

Bryan hesitated for a moment, but his apprehension soon started to melt. After all, Baby was teaching him. And he should be a good student, right?

So he reached out to grab a flower.

And then he suddenly felt like he had just been shot.

"You idiot!" Baby's sweet voice suddenly turned sickening. "In this world, it's kill or BE killed. Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this!?"

Bryan tried to run, to scream, to do anything, but his body wouldn't move. He felt like his soul was locked in place.

More flower bullets circled in on him. All he could do was hope that someone would swoop in and save him again.

And as if on cue, someone did.

A fire blast knocked Baby back, and she disappeared, along with her flowers.

"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth."

It seemed that there was someone else involved in this oh so amazing story that was being unveiled.

But what did Bryan say, after so many near death experiences? Would he say something impactful? Interesting?

Well, maybe he was thinking of something interesting or impactful to say, but all that came out was,

"What the brown."

And then he blacked out.
