Cole, Roxy, Spider, and Harmonia arrive in a very clean, white hallway with signs that have various numbers, symbols, and colors. The lights are fairly dim, and no one is around it seems.
"Looks like the ward," Roxy says.
"Why is it so quiet?" Spider says, looking around.
"It's been abandoned, I think," Cole says.
"Would they do that? Seems a bit weird," Spider replies.
"So... get the info and run?" Harmonia cocks her gun, ready for anything
"Just follow me," Cole draws an MP5 from his jacket and walks down the hall.
"I'm gonna steal an SCP," Roxy whispers, walking along.
"Roxy no," Spider whispers back.
"Roxy yes."
"Roxy no or I'll try one these darts on you," Spider whispers, a tad bit louder. Roxy makes a small "eep" noise. Three, purple-skinned women appear. They are 5'10" 150lbs with flamethrower hands, tank treads for feet, and a small supply of McDonald's happy meals. They include both boy and girl toys.
"Mmmmm, the death machines are here," Cole smiles.
"What the fuck?" Spider asks, confused as all hell.
"OH MY GOD THAT'S SO COOL," Roxy yells.
"I'll explain later," Cole sighs, as Roxy bounces on her toes.
"Hello, we are Naomi!" the women speak.
"Holy shit????" Harmonia stares.
"Cole is our Father!" says Naomi.
"Who's the mother, Cole," Roxy stares directly into Cole's eyes.
"Can I kill one?" Spider asks, probably-not-jokingly.
"If you kill one, you will not receive a replacement," says Naomi.
"Naomi, go kill any guards," Cole sighs, ignoring the corruptelam sisters' questions. Naomi scans for guards.
-scanning for guards-
"Cole, where do we go to get the info?" Harmonia sighs.
"Should be in Gerald's office," Cole replies.
"Who the fuck is Gerald 💀," Roxy asks, somehow literally speaking the skull emoji (it sounds like the sound the kid who drinks the Eminem potion makes).
"Gerald sounds hot!" Naomi giggles.
"Nobody named Gerald is hot, Naomi," Roxy yawns. The group stops at a door marked "Dr. Gerald".
-log updated-
"Is it too late to bow out?" Spider groans.
"No," Cole replies, readying his gun just in case.
"Gerald must be converted into matter. Right, Father?" Naomi asks.
"What the fuck lmao," Roxy says, actually saying "lmao" out loud like a fucking dweeb.
"No, he is long dead Naomi," Cole replies.
"Do his bones remain?"
"No," he groans.
"Should we just go in?" Harmonia sighs, walking to the door and prepping her gun. Cole jiggles the door handle.
"It's locked," he curses beneath his breath.
"Would you like for me to attempt to open it?" Naomi smiles.
"Nah, I got it," Cole says as he kicks the door off its frame.
"Father is amazing!" Naomi giggles.
"Thanks I guess, now let's look for that document."
"Cole, who's the baby mama?~" Harmonia teases as she starts looking through files.
"I'm gay, Harmonia, there is no mother."
"Yes, because that's how biology works," Spider drawls. Roxy sits on the desk. She takes out her phone and takes a selfie.
"Harmonia, the mother is converted matter, brought to you by Solcorp, and sponsored by Lavender Concepts!" Naomi explains, enthusiastically.
"That's nice," says Cole.
"That's good, Naomi," Roxy says, not looking up from her phone.
"Oh- well er- have fun?" Harmonia looks for relevant files.
-sarcasm detected-
Harmonia finds a document labeled "The Metal Bones and Organ Experiment," and takes it out of the filing cabinet.
"I think I found something," she says.
-scanning document-
"WARNING: GUARDS APPROACHING," Naomi says, loudly.
"Okay, kill them," Cole nonchalantly replies, "Do not let them get close."
"Okay," the Purple Powderpuff Naomis leave the room. Spider draws her knife and waits by the door.
"Harmonia, what was the document labeled?" Cole asks. Harmonia shows him the document, and he reads it. "Yeah, this is what I was looking for." Roxy lays down on the desk she's sitting on, and the Purple Powderpuffs return, covered in melted muscle and organs.
"Mmmmmmmm, nice," Cole says, looking at Naomi.
"This is just like among us, guys!" Roxy chuckles at the sight.
"More may come. We should leave soon," says Naomi.
"Yeah, we have the document, let's get the fuck out," Cole sighs.
"Well, this was eventful," Spider says.
"Spider, we're only here for info," Cole replies.
"Would you like for us to remain and self-destruct?" Naomi asks.
"Search the halls and kill more guards."
"Okay. Would you like another Happy Meal?" Naomi asks.
"Okay so now we find the girl and her caretaker?" Harmonia takes a deep breath.
"Yeah, I'm assuming so," Cole shrugs. The Purple Powderpuffs speak numbers in unison. They are coordinates. 43.8701244,-91.1985791
"Coordinates, huh," Cole sighs.
"Cole are you logging them?" Harmonia asks. Cole notes the coordinates on his phone.
"Take good care of Blanka," Naomi smiles.
"I will," replies Harmonia. The Naomis leave the room to search for more guards.
"Has this 'Blanka' girl ever put butter on a pop tart?" Roxy asks, getting up off the desk.
"Cole, will you teleport us to the coordinates?" Harmonia asks.
"Sure, but now I want a pop tart," Cole chuckles.
"Me too!" Roxy says.
"Alright we'll get some poptarts on our way back then." Harmonia cracks her knuckles and extends her hand to Cole.
"Hell yeah, pop tarts," Cole says, taking Harmonia's hand. They all teleport to the location. An Applebee's in Onalaska, Wisconsin. Who the fuck goes to Wisconsin????
"HOLY SHIT IS THIS THE APPLEBEES NOLANHAUNTED WAS TALKING ABOUT?" Harmonia yells the second they arrive.
"Why the fuck are we at apple bees?" Cole groans in disgust.
"My favorite! Let's check the bathroom..." Roxy waltzes into the bathroom, and opens up the second stall. There's a severed head in the toilet.
"God, why did the coords lead to here," Cole sighs.
"Er... I think this is where Blanka is? I'm assuming we just look around.." Harmonia shrugs. Roxy returns from the bathroom and walks up to an employee.
"I'm gonna order the apple and the bees," she says, smugly. Cole slugs Roxy in the face.
"Shut up Roxy," he says, as Roxy emits a pained(?) noise. Cole searches the place for the girl. At the corner booth, a very thin, very pale little girl is seated, as well as a man and woman in business suits. They are sharing a plate of Cheetos boneless wings. Harmonia ignores Roxy and Cole's antics and approaches the girl and her caretakers.
"Um... Blanka?" she asks, as Spider joins her. Both of the adults turn their attention to the group and stand.
"Can I help you?" the man asks. Cole and Roxy stroll over to the table.
"Um- My name is Harmonia. Lavender said you needed a place to stay?"
"Lavender... Lavender spoke to you?"
"Isn't lavender a color," Cole says, confused.
"Yes, she did," Harmonia nods. She's about 5'5 and slender but muscular. She wears a handgun and a shotgun and her knuckles are bandaged as if she was in a fight. However, they're clean.
"You all want to try some nasty, half-thought-through chicken?" the little girl asks, smiling and waving.
"God no," Cole replies.
"No thank you," Harmonia looks at the chicken, smiling.
"I would LOVE to!" Roxy swipes a piece of chicken and downs it in one foul swoop. The woman gives her a harsh look, and the girl lowers her head.
"Eh I've had worse," Spider chimes in.
"They are telling the truth." The woman whispers something.
"I, uh, have what you might be looking for," Cole says, revealing the folder in his hand. The man reluctantly takes the folder. Harmonia patiently waits, standing in front of their booth. Cole puts his MP5 away in his coat. Spider watches Harmonia and the girl, knife still in her hand. The little girl slides out from behind the two guardians and offers Harmonia her hand.
"Hi, my name is Blanka! Are you a color?"
"I'm not, my name's Harmonia. It's nice to meet you, Miss Blanka," Harmonia smiles at the girl and takes her hand.
"Oh." The girl runs and hides behind her guardians.
"I can be red I can be yellow I can be blue or I can be purple I can be pink or green o..." Roxy whispers the song from that video of the grown man with paint on his face...
The girl giggles at Roxy's song.
"Erm- sorry-" Harmonia stands back, embarrassed. Spider just watches, looking bored. Cole is leaning against the wall.
"Lavender tells me you are offering sanctuary. I suppose we must comply." The man addresses Harmonia. The woman gives Cole a strange look.
"What are you looking at," Cole quips.
"Wait," Spider gestures to the kid, "They're coming back to the house?"
"Oh um- you dont have to- its just an offer. I just don't want to leave a kid out here in this hellscape without trying to help..." Harmonia turns to Spider, "If they want to. They're from a different veil... I can't just leave them out in the cold when we have options," she pauses and turns back to the Naomis, "If you don't want to stay with me, I know plenty of empty houses you can use." Spider doesn't say anything, instead starting to fiddle with their knife.
"The child and I will stay with you. Blanco will lodge at another location," the woman replies.
"Like the house isn't crowded enough already," Spider sighs.
"Ill figure it out..." Harmonia says, looking to Spider.
The little girl smiles at Spider and says quietly, "I like your knife."
"Errr thanks.."
"Fair warning that my place is... really crowded. And chaotic..." Harmonia says to the group, laughing nervously.
"It's not that bad," Cole says, fiddling with a pistol in his pocket.
"I would have the child stay with Blanco, but she... Doesn't do well alone. Being with Blanco is more or less being alone," says the woman. The man doesn't react, aside from grabbing a piece of the trash chicken.
"I see..." Spider says, "I have a question though, who the hell are you two?" Harmonia looks between the two and Spider.
"We are the child's guardians."
"Great and we should care about you all why?"
"Doesn't she have a name? Why are you referring to her that way?" Harmonia asks.
"Hey, hey Cole," Roxy nudges Cole slightly, and whispers, "there's a severed head in the bathroom."
"FUCK YEAH FREE SKULL," Cole yells, sprinting to the bathroom.
"If you don't want to help. We will move along." Says the woman.
"I want a reason as to why we should help you," Spider replies.
"Could I play with your knife sometime?" asks the girl.
"No."
"I don't want to leave a child out here..." Harmonia sighs.
"You help us help Blanka, and we give you a portal access to Lavender. She has already proven what she is capable of. We have been updated," says the man.
"I see," Spider's grip on her knife tightens. Cole returns from the bathroom, putting a skull in his backpack.
"So, uh, are we done here, or?" Cole asks, leaning against a wall.
"Yeah. Can y'all help teleport them home? I'll set something up in the basement for them." Harmonia asks.
"No," Spider replies.
"Roxy, you do it," Cole looks to Roxy.
"I'm gonna chat with the severed head." She walks back to the bathroom.
"Already skinned it, it's my skull now."
"It always comes back!" Roxy yells in reply, now in the bathroom. Blanka shifts on her heels a few times, getting anxious. Roxy returns from the bathroom a few seconds after, though virtually unnoticed.
"So who's teleporting them back?" Cole asks.
"Cole can you?" Harmonia sighs, rubbing her temples.
"We don't need to cause controversy for your group. We will find another place to stay." The man says.
"No, it's fine," Cole says, as Roxy snaps, teleporting the group to Harmonia's house.
