Chapter Text
There was nothing but a blank and dark area. In what looks like a desolate wasteland, Bhomas lays on on the floor, with no train tracks for him to ride on anymore. He was completely alone in what used to be his home, not a single soul now lives. Well except him of course...and someone else.
He lays for what feels like hours before seeing a shadowy figure in the distance, slowly looming from the background. It looked like a big figure, it looked very spooky.
Bhomas stares at this figure. This figure was the one who destroyed the entire landscape, and that makes Bhomas very sad. All of his friends are dead, and this figure decides to come up to him in such a calm manner, it makes Bhomas very mad.
"WHY!?"
Bhomas yells out at the figure. "Why would you do this to us?! Everyone is now dead because of you!" Bhomas was failing to not cry. he would not look weak to the figure that straight up killed everyone. But the tears kept coming, and it will not stop anytime soon.
The figure in the distance calmly looks at Bhomas. A smirk can be seen on its face.
"Its just a prank bro."
Everything went dark...
...
"Thats all folks! Have a good night!"
Dave Brubot stands at the front of his stage hearing the claps and table bangs of the cogs in the audience. It always gives him such a good feeling every time he performs, he was made for it anyways. As the audience slowly start to move out the door, dave heads in to a backstage, where he spends some of his time after a good performance.
While dave puts away his instruments and starts to prepare home, his phone start to ring.
'Oh, who could it be?' Dave picks up phone and puts it to his ear.
"Hi dave!!!"
Oh, its buck, an old acquaintance of dave long before they were hired at COGS inc. He missed that funny duck. "Oh hey babe, whacha doing?" "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you want to do thomething with me tomorrow! You know, thince we uthed to work with each other!" Dave chuckles a little bit. "Well, sure I guess babe, where are we even going to go though?" There a brief pause before buck spoke again. "Letth go to the cathino! We can have thome fun over there!"
A cathino? what is..oh right, casino. It was sometimes hard to figure out what he was saying due to his lisp, but Dave isn't bothered with it. "Eh...lets not go to a casino babe, I don't want you blowing all of your money there, and not mine as well. Maybe you can come to mezzo melodyland instead, maybe come to a show of mine? You can have a front row seat!"
Buck audibly make a bwomp sound. "Aw man...but I can come to a thow of yourth. We can chat afterwardth ath well!"
"Alright then, see you tomorrow!" Buck hangs up the phone. Dave places his phone onto the table and and sat there for a moment. Well, this was sort of unexpected, but this is a welcomed change, it has been a while since he spent some time with buck, since they aren't in the same region.
After putting away his instruments and packed up some of his stuff, he starts to head on out. The scenery of mezzo melodyland is thankfully not so highly contrasted due to it being nighttime, it sometimes stings his eyes when he looks at the brightly colored landscape. Well, wearing sunglasses is not only just a style choice anyways.
His thoughts are immediately interrupted by a weird noise in the side of the road. There isn't really that much cogs outside due to the night, well there is a few, but this one sounded like a small object has fallen, a light but hard little sound. Dave looks at the road and saw...a toy?
Dave went to the toy and bended down to get a closer view. It looks like...a small toy train. it has a faded blue paint, and it seems to be those toy trains that have a magnet at the end of it.
"What in the...eh its probably nothing." Not really thinking much of it, he decides to just put the toy in his bag to think more of it later.
And just like that, he heads home.
