Chapter Text
The team were hanging out near the hotel, discussing their ideas on how to prevent death in the future. After having a whole argument about it in the past, they decided that it’d be better if they actually had a plan on how to go about it without being UFE every time.
‘Yeah, I like Marker’s idea. I think asking Two to add a penalty to the teams who need their members revived could work’
‘But wouldn’t it make other teams try to kill members of other teams so that team gets a penalty for something that’s not their fault?’ Black hole asked ‘It’d just result in more death’
‘I HATE NOT HAVING ANY WORKING IDEAS!!’ Fanny yelled
It’d already been around an hour of thinking, but they still had 0 plans set. Marker groaned and fell back-first on the grass, putting up hands to his face.
Black Hole was nervously fiddling with his hands. This is not as much of a relaxing activity as they thought.
‘I just wish there was a good way of preventing all death that we knew of. There has to be something we could do, right?’
‘I’m sure it’ll be fine! We’ll think of something eventually’ Marker said, standing up, and walking up to Black Hole. He went in for a pat on the back, but they floated away slightly. Marker stood there for a second, hand still up, and a slightly hurt expression on his face.
Black hole noticed it
‘Oh, ah, uh. Sorry, I um.. Didn’t want you to get sucked in. Black hole and stuff..’ they said quickly, but they didn’t think Marker felt better. ‘Here, uh I’ll go and check the area if there’s anything we could use for a plan’
Before the others could say anything, Black Hole swiftly floated away into the sky and away from the hotel.
‘Ugh! Didn’t even let us say anything!’ Fanny grumbled
‘I forgot we can’t touch him(( I didn’t mean to make him upset’ Marker slumped forward a bit
‘It’s not your fault Marker. We all do that sometimes. There are not many objects we can’t touch’
‘I wonder what it’s like being him’ everyone looked at tree questioningly ‘I mean he can’t feel anything, right? And he’s never touched anyone either. It has to feel at least slightly lonely’
Marker’s frown deepened at that. They sat there in silence for a bit, waiting for Black Hole to come back, and thinking about what Tree said.
Suddenly Marker perked up, which caught Fanny’s and Tree’s attention.
‘Hey guys! How about we ask Two if he could make Black Hole not be a black hole?’
‘Hm.. I’m not sure about changing how he looks, but we could ask if they could make them not suck everything they touch, up. They could even possibly touch objects then’
‘I hate that I don’t hate this idea! It actually sounds possible, and would prevent deaths!’ At that they looked at tree for a second
‘Then it’s settled’
‘We could make it a surprise for them! Everyone appreciates surprises!’ The other two nodded at that, and this set off Marker on a run to the hotel; tripping on his own feet periodically and shouting with his whole Purple might
‘TWO!!! WE NEED YOU FOR SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT!! WHERE ARE YOUUU?’
