When Lydia opened the door there was another long hallway. 'This is way too much walking for my taste.' After the long hallway was another room like the one Lydia and Sierra met Flowey, speaking of which, there he was cat ears and all.

"Clever, very clever, nya~. In this world it's kill or be killed. So you managed to play by your own rules, you spared the life of a single person."

     "Can you shut up for once?" Lydia said trying to walk past Flowey.

     "I'll be watching you!" Flowy shouted as Lydia left the room.

     "Why is that flower so creepy?" Questioned Sierra as they walked past. "Who knows." Lydia replied.

There was another door at the end of the hall existing through it led the girls to a snowy forest.

     "Is there a camera in that bush?" Lydia said pointing towards the said bush.

     Sierra floated over to it and said "Yeah, there's definitely a creepy a$$ camera in here."

     "Oh boy, someone's a stalker."

Lydia barely took five steps before she realized that her fingers were turning white.

     "Boy I sure do love losing circulation in my fingers." Sierra pulls out a red glove from her ghost pockets cause magic, and hands it to Lydia.

     "Thanks, fam." Sierra replied with finger guns.

Walking along the trail Lydia noticed a branch just lying there. "OoOh a stick," but the stick was too heavy to carry :(. Lydia took about five steps from the stick before she heard a CruNcH. Turning around Lydia saw that the stick had been snapped in half, like someone had just stepped on it, but no one was around. 'Creepy.' Sierra kicked one half of the stick across the snow.

     Lydia continued forward until she reached a bridge with bars across it, made to keep things from going through, but the bars were too wide to stop anyone. Especially not a ghost.

Lydia then heard the crunching of snow, someone was walking up to her, but she was too scared to turn around. Lydia felt this person tap her shoulder so she turned around and was met with... a hand doing the upside down ok symbol? Lydia was confused. Sierra made only her hand appear and replied with one of her own.

     "nice." The stranger said pointing finger guns at Sierra's hand, not even questioning why there was a ghost hand.

Turning back to Lydia the stranger smiled, "'sup, kid. didn't mean to scare ya my name's skans, skans the skeleton." Looking at the stranger Lydia noticed that although this "Skans" person had the face of a human girl with dark skin, brown eyes, and long brown almost black hair, everywhere else was skeleton bones.

     It would be creepy (well even more creepy) if everyone in this story wasn't depicted as cartoon characters. Skans was wearing a blue jacket over a white t-shirt, black gym shorts, and pink slippers.

"What the heck kind of name is 'Skans'?" Lydia asked.

     Skans shrugged, "combination of two names, it's the same for my brother, conrus. speaking of which, i think that's him over there. you should probably hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp over there before he tries to capture you." Skans pointed Lydia in the direction of a lamp conveniently shaped exactly like her.

     Lydia hid behind it wondering how in the world the lamp was shaped exactly like her. Just then a taller skeleton came running up to Skans.

     "SKANS WHAT THE F**K?!?"

     "'sup, bro."

     "DON'T 'SUP ME, SKANS. A LITTLE OVER TWENTY MINUTES AGO YOU SENT ME THIS!" The skeleton Lydia could only assume was Conrus had short, fluffy black hair (that Lydia desperately wanted to pet), pale skin, glasses, and was wearing a weird white and orange superhero costume of some sorts. Like Skans, only his face had skin the rest was just bone. Conrus held up his phone showing Skans something on the screen.

     "oh yeah, forgot about that. did you like the meme? i made it myself."

     "THIS ISN'T A MEME, THIS IS A CURSED IMAGE- YOU NO WHAT FORGET IT. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY HUMANS? YOU KNOW IT IS MY GOAL TO CAPTURE ONE."

     "nah, bro haven't seen any but i'll be sure to keep an eye socket out for any."

     "SKANS, YOU BONEHEAD, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SKELETON PUNS AT LEAST MAKE THEM GOOD.

     "sorry, bro didn't realize that my puns really gets under your skin." Lydia could hear the sound of drums going "ba dum ching". Conrus let out a disappointed sigh.

     "JUST REMEMBER TO RECALIBRATE YOUR PUZZLES, SKANS."

Conrus left making it safe for Lydia to get out from behind the weird lamp, she then approached Skans.

     "Don't worry about Conrus, kid he's harmless (mostly). well i'll be up ahead, see ya around." Skans then went towards the door Lydia had just left through, barely a few minutes ago, the opposite direction of "ahead". Lydia decided not to question it, today was already weird enough.

     Unfortunately, the weirdness had barely begun.
