Chapter Text
The alleyway was dark, wet, and smelled like week old rotten eggs.
The two anomalies had been on the run for weeks now. Trying to get about of the grasp of crazy scientists, hunters, even collectors. Joocie just wished that he wasn't so different. That he could just live a normal life without any interruptions. Then a loud crash rang out next to him, making him jump slightly.
"Would you keep it down" Joocie hissed "Someone might hear us."
Oof flinched "Sorry! I was just looking for something to eat..."
Joocie sighed "It's ok. Just please be more careful."
After Joocie looked around to make sure there was no one nearby, him and Oof settled down for the night. Joocie was about to get to sleep, when Oof sparked up a conversation.
"You know... I heard that there was this guy that's helping anomalies like us to safety. Apparently, he wears an orange space suit and rainbow socks."
Joocie had to bite back a laugh "An orange space suit? Really? And where did you hear this? Because it sounds like a bunch of lies and garbage."
"..."
"Listen I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so pessimistic. Okay? Oof?"
He looked to where Oof was sitting just a second ago. But he wasn't there anymore. Where'd he go?
"Hey buddy? Where'd you go?"
Joocie got up and walked around a dumpster
"Oof! Don't do that to me, I nearly had a heart attack."
"Sorry!" Oof said "I just thought I saw something ...where'd it go?"
He seemed to be looking behind the dumpster for something. What it was, Joocie didn't know. "What are you looking for?"
"I saw...AHA!!!"
He jumped back out from behind the dumpster holding a whole box of donuts above his head in triumph "Jackpot!"
"Quiet down. But good find! Pass some over." Joocie said reaching for the box.
They sat there for about an hour, eating away at the donuts and quietly talking about where they would go next.
"So," Joocie started "where did you hear about this orange space man?"
Oof seemed to light up at the fact that Joocie was taking in consideration of his idea "While we were running away from some of the operatives, I heard one of them talking to a different dude about 'the guy in the space suit'."
"Did you hear anything about where he might be?" Joocie asked
"...well, kinda. The rumours are that he's in some old abandoned warehouse. The one that they think he's in is actually pretty close. About a three hour walk from here."
"Ok well, in the morning we'll get going." Joocie paused "If that's what you wanna do anyway."
Oof smiled "yeah sure! Even if there's no one there it'll be good to explore around the area."
"True..." Joocie paused, then looked up at the sky. "We should probably get some sleep. I'll stay awake first."
"You sure?"
"Definitely. Get some rest."
Oof shrugged "ok then. If you say so."
"Night Oof."
"Night Joocie."
