Mailman and Joshua wake up in a room divided by a mirror. Mailman on one side, Joshua on the other.

There's a screen in each segment of the room, currently blank. They are both able to hear each other and communicate with one another.

Mailman blinks some as he glances around. He wears a smile.

Joshua groans as he wakes up and looks around. "Where....where's MailMan?"

"I'm right here, where are you Joshy?" Mailman asks as he gets up.

Joshua stands up. "I'm...right here, where are you?!"

"No, you're not right here, I am." Mailman looks over at the mirror.

“Oh my god, look describe the room for me,” Joshua says.

"It's a room...and there's me.” Mailman replies.

"...very descriptive dear,” Joshua says with a sigh.

A Perfectly Generic Object (a green cube) appears on the screen. A robotic voice rings out through the room;

"Please alter this object into the room with you."

"What if I don't?” Joshua asks as he looks at the screen.

"Please alter this object into the room with you." Repeats the voice.

"You mean warping?" Mailman asks.

"It's warping.” Says Joshua.

"Please al-" The voice corrects itself. “Please warp this object into the room with you."

"Oh ok!" A green cube suddenly appears in the room with Mailman.

"Hold on, I got this.” Joshua visibly thinks really hard and a gelatinous green cube of meat appears in the center of the room.

An image of a rolled-up sheet of lawn turf appears on the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you." Says the voice.

"Oh ok! Fun!" A chunk of stiff and sharp turf appears in Mailman’s room.

Joshua visibly thinks hard as the floor changes to the turf. "I think I missed a little…”

An image of a model of a cherry red Miata appears on the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Joshua thinks really hard, his eyes look like they are gonna pop out of his skull.

A cherry red, miniature but functioning, Miata appears on the turf. Mailman still smiles calmly. "My! Are we going on vacation?"

A single cherry red smooth tire appears next to the meat cube in Joshua’s cell.

An image of a scarecrow appears on the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"Are you sure?" Mailman asks.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Joshua thinks really hard and a floating straw-stuffed scarecrow appears in the center of the room.

"If you say so!" Mailman smiles as nothing happens.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"I did it,” Joshua says as he stares at the screen.

"Mhm!" Mailman nods, but nothing happens.

An image of heart-shaped sugar cookies appears on the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"... I don't wanna…” Joshua shakes his head.

"Any minute now.” Mailman says.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"I don't wanna!"

Joshua cracks his tail like a whip, just barely missing the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"FINE!” Joshua yells as a condensed cube of heart-shaped sugar cookies appears.

Suddenly a being about 8 feet tall with a fluffy neck and dark horns appears near Mailman. "There, one scarecrow!" Mailman smiles.

The screen becomes black as the lights in the room shut off. A bright light fills the room for a second, before returning to dark as the room's lights turn back on as does the screen.

An image of an egg appears on the screen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Joshua smirks as he visibly thinks really hard as 40 packs of eggs appear on the floor. “Egg.”

"Oh my gosh!?!? Is that a cherry red mini Miata!?!?!" The “Scarecrow” goes to pick it up happily while smiling.

Mailman remains watching the screen. "Oh ok! Just be careful!" An egg appears on the floor.

An image of a hadal mask appears on the screen, basically the same one as Madelyn's.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Mailman shakes their head. "No, thank you!"

"I love cool lil masks!" Joshua thinks really hard as the mask appears in his hands. He inspects it.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Mailman shakes his head. "Nope.”

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

“But I already did it-” Joshua says, confused.

"Can I have this?" The “scarecrow” asks the disembodied voice.

"Not doing it!” Mailman still smiles.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"I already did it!" Joshua huffs.

"No, thank you!" Mailman smiles.

"Can I PLEASEEE have this?" The “scarecrow” keeps asking while holding the tiny car.

The mirror turns to a window for Mailman, as he can see several guns and deadly weapons aimed in Joshua's direction. They aren't actually there, and Joshua is unable to see them or Mailman as his side is still a mirror.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

"Ohhh that one." Mailman says as several guns and deadly weapons appear in Mailman's room.

“What are you doing over there?" Joshua asks as he puts the mask on and presses his face against the mirror.

"Please warp those objects out of the room!!" A voice says from over the speaker, sounding more like an actual person.

"Are you sure? I mean I spent so much time on warping them in…” Joshua replies.

"Ok!" Everything in the room with Mailman disappears including the uninvited guest.

"BRING THE SCARECROW BACK PLEASE-” The voice from the speaker asks.

"Oh ok!" Mailman smiles as nothing happens.

"I feel like I'm missing some context here..." Joshua says with a sigh.

The Perfectly Generic Object reappears onscreen.

"Please warp this object into the room with you." Says the robotic voice.

The "scarecrow" with the fluffy neck and dark horns reappears with empty hands. "Awwww mini Miata gone...."

"Oh ok!" Mailman says as the green plastic cube appears again.

A dense cube of green meat appears in Joshua’s room. “So are we just doing it again?"

"Please warp this object to a shape that resembles the human body."

The cube in Joshua’s room melds and shapes and contorts into the shape of Cole Genesone. “Here ya go.” Joshua says.

"Oh ok!" The green cube in Mailman’s room suddenly turns into a fully formed human with hair, pours, and clothes, all in a plastic green texture.

Scarecrow looks over at the screen and tilts her head.

"Please attempt to puppet the object as though it is a living organism."

Joshua points at the screen as the meat Cole Genesone's hand flies off and splats onto the screen, leaving behind a black residue. “Gottem," Joshua says.

"Oooo I can do that!!!" Scarecrow picks up the plastic human and moves it around while doing a sad attempt at ventriloquism. “Hii my name’s merfwermermeer-”

"Please warp the object out of the room."

"Ok!" Mailman says as Scarecrow disappears.

The meat Cole Genesone screams as its body parts dissolve slowly.

The screen on Mailman's side stays the same, but for Joshua, it shows the hadal mask again.

"Please warp this object into the room with you."

Joshua shrugs and thinks visibly hard as another hadal mask appears in his paw. "I mean I’m already wearing it but okay.”

Another green cube appears by the plastic human in Mailman’s room.

The lights in the room shift to a soft orange as the screens shut off.

"Test complete. Please stand by."

"Oh, I love tests! What did I get?" Mailman asks.

Joshua sits on the turf and bobs his head left and right.

The same gas as before fills the room slowly, making them veeeerrrrryyyyy sleeeeeppppyyyy ...

Joshua falls backward and falls asleep instantly.

"But...what did I get?.." Mailman slowly falls over and passes out. The plastic human blinks some as it looks over at Mailman.

Mailman and Joshua will awaken in their cell. The objects remaining in the room are collected.
