Not So Sweet Candyland

LXII: Cherry Estates II

Berry was at a party, laughing with some females over a complex game that the men could not understand for some reason. It seemed like Berry didn't care about Chase at all.

However, right under the party, there was a group of psychotic scientists that have tied Chase to a chair and were examining him in very strange ways.

One of the scientists put a flashlight in his eye.

"Pupil dilation is abnormal."

"I'll write that down." Another scientist was behind him.

"Hair has some weird white flakes in it."

"Check."

"And his hair has a weird texture, nothing that I felt before."

"Ok."

"What do you think?"

"Could it be? The human that everybody is talking about?"

"Why would a human be seen in public?"

"He can't be alone."

"Who is even taking him around Candyland?"

"And why is he even in the estates?"

"Who knows? For now, keep things quiet. Somebody could find him."

"Why would anybody even come down here? It's disgusting and it smells like burning sugar."

The group of scientists stated to laugh extremely loudly, unfortunately, Berry could hear their laughter from right upstairs.

"Can you hear that?" Berry asked.

Nobody responded.

Berry looked around.

"Chase? Where are you, Chase?"

Berry got up and started going around the party, the room was a little crowded and Berry pushed through people to find Chase.

"He cannot have gone to the bathroom, unless that stupid baboon got lost on his way to. Idiot should have asked me for directions, I know this place like the back of my hand."

Chase was downstairs in that cellar, surrounded by the scientists.

"What do you even want from me?"

"We have been tracking for evidence of humans for years, doing our father's works. It's what they wanted, after all."

"But, that didn't answer my question. Who are you?"

At that moment, Chase noticed a face in the crowd of scientists.

"Lance? Is that you?"

The person who looked like Lance disappeared all of a sudden.

"HE'S THE HUMAN!"

"How did you know?"

"A human would see an allusion of the invisible scientist. And you saw somebody who was familiar to you. You are the human! What the hell are you even doing in a place like this?"

"I'm not answering any of your fucking questions!"

"Guess he has a mouth after all. I thought humans were cowards. That they let their guards down in this world."

"First off, who even let you in a place like this? And why are you here? What are your reasons?"

"I don't know why I'm here!"

"You're lying!"

"I'm not!"

"You are!"

"I'm not!"
