Everything outside of the ride fades to pitch black with no stars as they see Jack standing off the side of the ride waiting for them.

Roxy gets off the carousel. "Hello Jaquerel." Everyone else hops off, following Roxy and Jack.

"This way! Can we have some quiet coyotes?" Jack puts his hand up with his pointer and pinky up like a coyote. His other hand makes a hushing motion over his mouth. He walks backwards as he leads the group into the dark.

"What the fuck is a quiet coyote?" Kade whispers.

Roxy is a VERY quiet coyote, mimicking Jack's movements as she follows him. Luna also follows silently.

Cole whispers to Kade. "Shhhh quiet coyote." He follows with his cane.

"What if I screamed right now? For fun." Melody asks in a sweet voice.

"Then the divulgars in the area might try to tear you limb from limb for potentially disturbing the zinger in this area!" Jack smiles as he keeps doing the hand gesture waiting for them to get quiet. Melody crosses her arms.

Kade keeps quiet and shrugs. Roxy is also doing the hand gesture. Luna shrugs and stays silent. Even her usual playlist is off. Cole's coolant pump is audible. It is dead silent except for a distant quiet breathing and Cole’s coolant pump. Cole’s soul aches a bit more as they walk. The breathing is getting closer.

Cole groans in pain a little louder as he grips his cane tighter and keeps walking. Luna wonders what the hell kind of Zinger would want dark and silence. But she continues walking in pure silence. Jack makes an another gesture asking them to stop as he stops walking. He seems diligently scanning the area.

Cole stops walking as he looks around carefully. Luna pauses and looks around. Roxy stays a quiet coyote. Melody stops. Kade stops, hands on his hips as he looks around.

Jack looks up. He points up as he makes another quiet coyote hand. Looming above them looks like a long stalactite partly hidden in the dark. It moves up out of sight after a few seconds. The party watches silently.

Jack waits a moment before continuing. Eventually, they can no longer see the carousel as he stops again. He faintly whispers to them, "Ok. Now let’s hope he isn't sleeping or he will probably try to kill us instantly, he’s not a morning person." He instantly cups his hands over his mouth and screams "AYO WE HAVE A QUESTION!"

Melody puts her head in her hands. "I swear to the Gods Jack.." Luna silently says then facepalms.

Roxy smiles.

Kade tries to leave, "Nah, I'm out."

Cole looks over at Kade. "You are staying here or I'm removing all of the mayo from the house."

Kade looks like Cole just killed his firstborn.

Lights in the dark flicker on like stars. Closer lights are a bright white while the thousands in the distance are green, blue, and red. Cole’s soul starts to severely ache. There’s a sickening feeling of bad luck. "Oh goody he was already up." Jack smiles.

"He made me drown!" Roxy complains.

"What the fuck. What did you bring us to???" Luna takes a deep breath and prepares for battle.

Melody is terrified and backs up, summoning her bow to her hand.

Cole groans in pain as he falls to one knee and grips his cane harder, struggling to stand back up.

Kade looks amongst everyone, but tries to keep Old Man Cole on his feet "You good?"

Cole nods as he winces and groans, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Jack looks over at Cole "Waitwaitwait- what do you feel?" Jack sounds a hint concerned for once.

"Fuckin’ aching in my soul or something, not important." Cole's breathing is slow and deep as he looks over at Jack.

Jacks ears perk up again. "OK- NOT, no not not important- very important- has a fublumblingeeber of a doober ever cried on your soul?" Jack looks a hint panicked. The aching gets worse as something large moves in the dark. It seems to be whale-sized.

"What the fuck does that even mean." Kade asks.

"Sounds like some kinda nonferal std..." Roxy says.

"Cried on a soul what?" Luna asks.

Cole groans in pain louder as he leans on his cane more. "Yeah it fuckin...god...yeah it cried on my soul."

Jack looks over towards the movement in the dark. He has a look of fear. "Hey uhhhh Wobbles buddy! We uh just wanted to check on you! Please don’t try to take his soul, thanks-" The aches grows unbearable.

Cole grips his chest as he falls to one knee as he drops his cane and mutters, "I'mnotgoodanymore."

Luna goes to Cole to protect him.

"What the fuck??" Kade raises an eyebrow, but tries to help him up and carry the majority of his weight "Please don't have a heart attack, I don't know CPR."

They all see a large face faintly in the dark. It has stretched flesh and dark eyes. Its golden teeth look messed up. The teeth on the lower jaw point down to the ground and its jaw stretches along long ears. Its face alone is the size of a large house as it looks down at them. Everyone's knees become slightly weaker.

"Oh dear, mister wobby, you're really makin' me weak in the knees!" Roxy jokes.

Melody is freaking out but goes to Cole, trying to drag him back the way they came. "Someone help me! We need to run-"

"DONT RUN- Don't run, just stay calm!" Jack calls out to the party.

Cole stares at the face, "itlookslikeapokemon."

"WHAT THE FUCK." Kade just stares, then looks at Jack "STAY CALM?? YEAH??"

"Guys just stay calm he's just a little guy. Hasnt hurt anyone yet." Roxy adds.

"We just need to talk to it! And everything will be fine and dandy!" Jack sounds scared. Something is attempting to purify Cole’s soul.

Black smoke starts to rise from Cole's chest. "Ohthat'sweird" Cole coughs out some black smoke.

Melody draws her bow, aiming a shot at one of the Frobwobber’s eyes.

"So, Frobwobber, that's your name, right? Let's see here... Ah!" Roxy walks closer. "Alright, yeah, you're on our list tonight. Okay... so, what are you looking for in a job here?"

Kade like, watches the smoke, absolutely confused out of his mind.

The arrow Melody fired phases halfway into Frobwobber’s face and flickers like a video game glitch. It doesn’t react at all. Jack tilts his head some "what the..."

The black smoke continues to rise as he coughs out more of it. "goodnessgracious"

"W-what is that?? Whats wrong with Cole??" Melody asks fearfully.

"Uhmmmmm-" Jack is trying to think as he’s looking around at everything happening.

Cole continues to cough and do nothing, fuckin old man. Kade turns away and huffs a small burst of flame away from anyone, just to get some more light. In the bust, they see a checkered floor and distant arches. Frobwobber is only a head and an arm clipping in and out of reality.

"What the fuck." Kade looks around some. Cole breathes in heavily and mutters, "gat damn."

"What’s happening?? That monster looks fake???" Melody says.

"Oh....uhhhh...actually that explains a lot." Jack no longer looks scared and he walks up to it.

Kade is so confused. He looks to Cole and asks, "How do you wanna be held. Like a bride, over my shoulder, or."

Melody looks around, shooting an arrow of light up to the ceiling to try and see how far up it is. It goes up and doesn’t hit anything before gravity forces it back down.

"Ok...NEW PLAN!" Jack resumes his confident demeanor, "Since Wobbly here isn't all that there, we need to fix his soul so we can talk to him."

"I mean like-" Cole freezes up and turns his head to the side and spits out a green and black tissue. He stares at it.

"Fix whose soul?? Huh??" Melody says.

"Probably the one who's fucking hacking up his lungs." Kade replies.

"I have no idea what's happening ever honestly." Roxy sighs

"We need zinger tears to fix his soul. All of the zingers to be exact." Jack explains.

"Ohhhh ok we have some of those don't we? One." Roxy says.

"I think that is supposed to be on my soul....." Cole stares at the green and black tissue.

"Uh. Your soul looks pretty gross.." Kade responds.

"...ew...anyway, seems I cant speed run this one like I thought." Jack says

"Sucks... Cole are you okay?" Melody asks Cole.

Cole nods, "yeah I uh....feel strangely good." He tries to clamber out of Kade's arms. Kade lets it happen.

Jack nods, "alright well I'm going to pawn off that task to you all. Now did you guys know what a zinger is?"

Roxy starts making noises. "Yes I already took moosey's skull!"

"I'm pretty sure me, Roxy, Ari, Harmonia and Clair- yeah," Kade says.

"Man I must be really good at explaining. Now when you guys get all the tears in one bottle, hand it to me and we can have a talk with the wibblywobbly."

"Shouldn't we have them in. separate bottles? Cross contamination is a bitch." Roxy asks

"We're going to mix them anyways" Jack shrugs as he starts walking back

"I dont know what a zinger is," Melody mumbles.

Cole stands up as he dusts his overcoat off, his stature seems off but not in a bad way, "so uh what are we doing I just finished processing the last 10 or so minutes."

"Home time!" Kade presumably leads the way back home for everyone.

"Leaving is certainly an idea," Cole follows the others home with confidence in his stride

Roxy sticks around for a bit until she’s the only one left. She starts walking, trying to find a different exit from the building. It's oddly quiet and she finds herself walking for hours before finding a wall with a black door. She opens the door and slogs through.
