Chapter Text
Yatta and Looey looked around to see if he was just a bit behind but to no avail
"Aw gee where could he beee!" Looey tugged his ears, it was unlike blot to just disappear like that. He started taking deep breaths to calm themself down
"RELAX Looey! He can't have gone far, he was JUST with us." Yatta reassured but now rubbing her chin.
Turning their gaze to the entrance of the floor they had came from they decided to check there first.
As they went up the stairs they saw a familiar swiss roll dressed as a scientist. "Heya Cos' Have you seen any blobby fellows around here?" Looey inquired as he scanned the crowd.
"Er- I haven't! I could ask Sprout if he's seen Blot." Cosmo scratched the back of his head looking around.
"GUYS IT'S LOOEY AND YATTA!" A kid with braces shouted
Looey and Yatta gulped as they looked at each other and thought that this would be a perfect time for Blot to appear right about now.
"OH MY GOSH HHIIII YATTA" "Where's blot?" "LOOEY, LOOEY SHOW US A TRICK!" The kids erupted it wasn't new with the fact that they were used to handling loud children it was no biggie. And the fact that most of the kids were occupied with exploring or talking to the Halloween toons
Just as the crowd started to become smaller as children went to explore A ghost suddenly appeared in front of them
"BOO!" the pale figure shouted "AAAHHHhhi there!" Looey screamed before realizing it was a fellow toon that spooked them
"Heh, sup dude one and dude two, the names Boolynski" The ghost said crossing his arms
"HIYA!! I'm Yatta and that's Looey and we're lookin for a fella named Blot, HAVE YA SEEN HIM?" Yatta waved her hands around
"Err no clue who you're talking about" Boolynski raised an eyebrow.
"Oh!- uh, He's an ink blob, about thiiis tall, talks backwards... Oh and he's dressed like a vampire." Looey described him while making cartoony motions to get his description of Blot across
"Hmm I think I know a guy just like that and he went over to the haunted house. You better hurry before my brother Soulvester yaps his poor ears off! Hah!" the ghost informed them while laughing
"Thanks ma'am-! We have to get going. Come on Yatta!" Looey scurried off holding Yatta's hand
"THANK YOU BOOLYNSKI TALK TO YOU LATER!" Yatta started Running faster to keep up (and eventually go faster than Looey).
("... Ma'am?") Boolynski thought to himself...
At the haunted house the children and a few toons and two employees stood around Soulvester as he gave out maps for the floors.
"So that's where you've been." Looey waved to get Blot's attention. Blot turned around and signaled for him and Yatta to come over.
"SO where'd ya run off to exactly?" Yatta Squinted her eyes trying to figure out how Blot could just vanish without warning.
".reisae owt uoy dnif ot pam a teg ot ereh emac I os ereht t'nerew owt uoy kcab emac I nehw tub ,tou ti kcehc og ot tnew dna eye ym fo renorc eht ni gnihtemos was I lleW" Blot explained
[Well I saw something in the corner of my eye and went to go check it out, but when I came back you two weren't there so I came here to get a map to find you two easier.]
"Well that does check out..." Looey rubbed his chin squinting slightly and looking up.
"QUICKLY NOW IS OUR CHANCE TO GET A MAP!" Yatta exclaimed pointing at Soulvester as he handed out maps
The trio went over to get their maps.
"Be careful during your travels!" the knight said passing out papers with information regarding the floors and additional coloring sheets for the younger ones who asked
Soulvester was passing out maps when his eyes met with a certain ink blob who had been staring at him for quite some time. He had red eye makeup and a cape.
Soulvester snapped out of it and shook his head before addressing the blob in the room. "Was thou in need of something?" He asked now directly at the individual before him.
"sEY .hU" Blot blurted out before covering his mouth ("...taht morf revocer nac I ebyaM") Blot thought to himself.
[Uh. YEs] [Maybe I can recover from that...]
Soulvester tilted his head nut understanding why the peculiar mime-vampire asked him to "say hu"
"!tah a rof gnikool saw I ,seY !tah a rof gnikool saw I" Improvised knowing DAMN well he was planning to get a map.
[I was looking for a hat! Yes, I was looking for a hat!]
He tried signing as well but his hands were shaking because of the absolute fumble he just preformed which embarrassed him even more,
Blot was trying his absolute hardest to maintain some kind of eye contact however he for some reason found it difficult to keep focus could it be the subtle breeze making Soulvester's hair sway lightly? How confident he looked, him looking at him caringly? the waving of a hand in his face and asking if he's ok...
"Earth to Blot, earth to Blot! Are. You. O. K.?" Yatta asked the frozen in place blot, a small "Eep" sound exited blot's mouth as he shakes his head.
"You kinda zoned out there buddy, is everything alright?" Soulvester, Looey, who is now holding a map, Yatta and roughly eight kids and three adults looked at Blot being out of character compared to his usual calm and charismatic self. Soulvester was about to say something, but a child got his attention and
"!sklof eybdooG !og ot evah -I"
[I- have to go! Goodbye folks!]
Blot said whilst also signing as he made his way out the house.
Blot ran down the stairs but before he could think about bailing he saw a grandfather clock that read 12:45 which meant he had to stay on the floor for another 15 minutes on the floor before heading elsewhere. he devised a plan to simply maintain distance from him and Soulvester.
Shouldn't be too hard, right?
