Fanciful | Dreamteam Au

Familiar faces

Dream could feel the tension in the air like it was thick smoke. He glanced away towards the ground. Dream soon found himself looking back over at Skeppy, he was frowning.

"Oh- you drowned? If I may ask, how?" At first it sounded like a really stupid question, since by drowning that meant you suffocated underwater, however Dream was interested in the fact that he had yet to even see a puddle of water here, let alone enough to drown in.

Skeppy glared at him. Dream felt a bit nervous. Dream could feel bit of relief though when Skeppy let out a sigh and stopped glaring aggressively at him.

"Well, I guess it was some experiment to see if I could breath underwater after being injected with some liquid. Unfortunately for me, that stupid injection didn't work" Skeppy sounded bitter.

"Ouch" Dream felt like that had to have been horrible.

Skeppy started walking back towards the hidden exit that entered into the gym. Dream ran over to follow him.

Dream carefully went back through the exit before covering up his tracks.

He leaned against the wall of the gym, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Hey!" An excited voice called over to him.

Dream glanced in the direction of the voice and recognized that it was one of the people he had talked to in the cafeteria.

"Hi" Dream responded.

"So, since you're new to the facility, want me to give you a little tour as we go throughout the day?" Badboyhalo asked, he seemed really thrilled about it. George and Sapnap were standing behind him, they seemed less excited.

"I'd say no if I were you" Skeppy interjected, appearing beside Dream and intruding in on the conversation.

Dream fought the urge to respond to Skeppy since no one else could see or hear the ghost. It'd probably look pretty weird if he was saw talking to thin air. No one else even seemed to notice or acknowledge Skeppy's rude objection. It made sense though, considering Skeppy was only appearing to Dream which meant nobody else could see or hear him.

"Sure!" Dream responded to Badboyhalo. He snuck a glance again at Skeppy and saw that he was very annoyed. Skeppy then proceeded to disappear again.

Badboyhalo beckoned for Dream to follow him. They started to walk around the gym. As soon as Badboyhalo was out of earshot, George and Sapnap slowed down to walk beside Dream.

"I personally hate this facility, how are you feeling about your experience so far?" George casually said as he walked beside him.

"Well, I have mixed feelings" Dream simply responded.

"What's with that mask?" Sapnap blurted out, pointing at the mask on Dream's face.

"Sapnap!- You can't just ask questions like that!" George yelled at Sapnap in a sorta hushed voice.

Sapnap rolled his eyes and George let out a exasperated sigh.

"I'm sorry about Sapnap, I guess some people here can't have proper decency" George apologized.

"Its alright, I wear this mask just because I'm a bit shy" Dream responded. The answer itself was a total lie, he just didn't want to tell them he was afraid of seeing his own face.

"See? Its not even that big of a deal" Sapnap smugly told George. George shoved Sapnap in retaliation. Sapnap fell over.

"That's not funny!" Sapnap stood up. Dream held in a laugh.

"You deserved it" George yelled to Sapnap before speeding up and walking beside Badboyhalo again.

"Ugh" Sapnap also sped up to continue walking with Badboyhalo again.

Dream decided that this was probably the time that he should do the same.

"Like I was saying, after gym we should be having some free time!" Badboyhalo explained to Dream.

"Then we'll be having-" Badboyhalo continued talking before being cut-off.

Ding

"Gym is over, it's time for free time" One of the speakers blared.

"Well that's convenient" George spoke.

The group rushed out of the gym.

"Um, I have a question" Dream asked.

"What is is?" Badboyhalo replied.

"Why are we all here? What's the point of having this many people trapped in the facility?" Dream asked.

"Your really asking him that question?" Skeppy appeared in front of Dream. He leapt back startled.

Badboyhalo responded to Dream but he was too distracted to hear.

"I'll tell you the answer, plain and simple. The reason we're here is to essentially be test subjects" Skeppy spoke.

At first Dream didn't respond but then he decided that it didn't matter anyway and the rest of the group probably wouldn't even hear him.

"Wait what?" Dream was confused.

"You're here to be a test subject, did I stutter? I heard some scientist say something about using the knowledge they get in experiments to help create super soldiers. I honestly wasn't paying much attention at the time. I was too busy trying to accept the fact that I was dead" Skeppy made it sound like the answer was very obvious.

"But that doesn't explain much! You're basically saying we're all here to be the disposal test subjects. Why do they need super soldiers?" Dream felt even more confused. Skeppy just nodded his head in response.

"Dream! Hurry up! Who are you even talking to anyway?" Sapnap called over to Dream.

It was then that Dream realized he had stopped dead in his tracks when he was talking to Skeppy. Dream looked over to see the others were already further ahead.

"I guess that's my cue to leave, next time direct any questions like that to me. Have fun on your tour!" Skeppy then immediately evaporated into thin air.

Dream was a tad frustrated that the conversation has been cut short but it was already starting to look suspicious because it looked like he was talking to thin air. The only problem was that he still had more questions to ask. I guess I'll ask him later.

Dream ran ahead to join the others.

"This is medbay, only go here if you need medicine or bandages" Badboyhalo gestured towards the room to the right of them.

"And this is the library!" Badboyhalo sounded enthusiastic as he pointed towards the room on the left of them.

"Can we go in there?" Dream asked.

"Sure!" Badboyhalo took off towards the library door.

Dream took in a deep breath and followed. This was the first time he'd been excited to see something.

"I quite enjoy the library unlike some people" George spoke as he and Sapnap entered the library too.

Dream looked at the opened door. He hesitated for a split second. Dream decided to push his worries aside for now. He then stepped into the library.
