Chapter Text
Everyone was hanging out in the main cabin right after a round, everything was pretty, normal, or about as normal it could get in the Forsaken realm.
007n7 and Guest 1337 were to be chatting about something on the couch, Two time and Noob were helping Elliot in the kitchen, The admins and Taph seemed to be planning, supposedly for the rounds, and Chance and Veeronica were in a friendly banter about who's 'cooler'
Everyone was fine.. That was until the TV glitched, and a went all static, a deep voice that everyone knew and hated echoed through the cabin as if their was speakers placed everywhere.
"Hello, survivors." The Spectres voice growled through the speakers, everyone tensed.
"I'm deciding to try something different, something new." This made the survivors more uncomfortable, normally when the Spectre spoke into the cabin it was announcing a new survivor or killer, or an upcoming event.
"I'll be taking 2 of you, I'll put you somewhere. Don't worry, you'll come back, probably, if you survive."
"C-can it just do that?" Questioned Noob, very scared. "I don't know, but everyone be prepared." Guest 1337 spoke up, making sure no one disappeared
"UH- CHANCE??" Veeronica panicked, looking quickly around the area for the person who was just right infront of her.
"Chance if your hiding, this isn't funny!", Elliot also looked around the area, but Chance was gone. "Fuck.."
Dusekkar sighed due to the fact that Chance now had been supposedly kidnapped, but then he noticed Taph started pulling on his arm, when Taph realized he noticed, he started waving where Shedletsky was. Well, where he SHOULD be.
"..John?" Dusekkar said worriedly, Builderman turned at Dusekkar voice and when he realized he let out an annoyed sigh. "Dammit, it took John."
Noob grabbed his arm tightly, "So then.. Shedletsky and Chance.. w-why them..?", Elliot rubbed his neck "No one knows, but hopefully their back soon."
Everyone stood tense, and in a quiet setting now that their two friends have disappeared.
-----------------------
It seemed as a TV turned on.
Their was man there. He walked closer to the camera, that also seemed really old, their was a pink hue to this video.
The man started speaking,
"You're about to see the most incredible doll ever invented."
He walked closer to the camera
"Her name is Poppy, and she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world."
He finally stopped walking.
"A little girl can talk to her, Poppy gives her answers. She is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child. Hard to believe? Just watch.
The screen cuts to a different scene- a doll, presumably 'Poppy', middle of the screen with a white background.
Suddenly a bunch of kids voice come in, "Poppy playtime!" They shout enthusiastically.
It cuts to a slight side view of this doll, a womans voice starts speaking.
"Poppy is as lovable as a real girl, and she talks like one too!"
As she says that, a string is pulled from the doll, setting off her voice box.
Poppy is now being held by a single hand around her waist as she speaks.
"Hi! My name is Poppy! I love you.."
"Can you help me polish my shoes?"
Scene change again, now it's showing just Poppy's feet. She raises one up.
"Why ofcourse Poppy!" The woman's voice is back.
Hands start polishing Poppy's shoes with a tissue.
"Just like a real girl Poppy always wants to look her best!" The woman narrates.
"Perfect! Thank you." Poppy's voices says happily.
Now Poppy is getting her hair brushed.
"Her hair is sturdy and won't come out when you brush it!" The womans voice speaks again.
Now the video shows a Poppy, "And smells just like a Poppy flower!"
Now, the doll is just standing there again, but their is text next to her,
'Poppy playtime,
5.99'
it reads.
"Is their anything else you'd like to say, Poppy?"
The camera is now focused just on her head.
"I'm a real girl. Just like you!"
It is now a white screen with text on it.
"What's the time?" The woman says reading out the text on screen.
"Playtime!" The children's shouts from earlier.
Now it cuts to a man working in a factory.
"And if you've ever wanted to see how all of the nation's favourite toys were created,"
Baby doll heads all lined up.
"Playtime co. Is now offering factory tours,"
A bunch of baby doll arms.
"For just 2.99 a person!"
The baby doll heads are back, but shaking back and forth.
"An entire hour in the most magical toy factory on earth!"
Now it's outside a factory.
"What are you waiting for? Come visit the factory!"
It starts glitching between the factory and a door that has a Poppy flower spray painted over it.
"We can-" the voice glitches out.
The video is now focused on the Poppy door.
The video fades to black.
Now it's a piece of paper. Not in a video this time.
It reads
'Everyone thinks the staff disappeared 10 years ago
We're still here
FIND THE FLOWER'
The last sentence being underlined a few times, with a Poppy flower underneath it.
------------------
Chance wakes up, the first thing he notices is the fact he's on a cold and hard ground, they push themself up into a sitting position thinking about the odd dream he just had. Who is Poppy?
Then he takes in his surroundings.
They seem to be at the entrance of a building somewhere, the front desk was infront of him, just a bit far away. The floor was white tiles but had alot of red, yellow and blue tiles spread out randomly in the mix. The front desk had a single old-fashioned computer on it, the wall behind it had a drawing of weird blue creature saying 'Welcome!" On it. There was two, entrances to who knows where on the side of the 'blue-creature-saying-hello-wall'
..WHERE THE HELL WAS HE?
They look side to side,
Nothing but a wall on one side, and on the other side there was nothing but Shedletsky, who was asleep and curled up in his wings, and another wall with nothing on it! Why-
Wait a damn minute.
"SHEDLETSKY??" He yelled, Shedletsky didn't react, as he wasn't exactly conscious.
Chance shuffled on his knees over too his friend, moving Shedletskys wings out of the way, they try to shake him awake.
This actually worked, Shedletsky yawned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Mmm.. Chance what do you need..", Chance gripped their friends arm tightly. "Where are we?" Chance asked, and realized that Shedletsky probably didn't know either due to the extremely confused look on his friends face.
"...What?"
"Just- just- look around!"
Shedletsky slowly got up, and looked around. Chance watched as his emotions from earlier are displayed on Shedletskys face.
"..Well damn."
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Well- what do you expect- I don't think asking the 'where are we' question again will help-"
Chance tipped their fedora, "fair.. how did we even get here?"
"The Spectre!" Shedletsky suddenly pipes up, "remember?"
Chance remembers earlier, "Oh right!.. how long have we been passed out?" Shedletsky sighs and pushes his hair back, "Man... I don't know.."
They sit in silence for a minute, They both notice how they still atleast still have their weapons.
Chance looks behind the both of them, "Oh! Doors!" He stands up and walks towards the doors, "do you think these will open?"Chance grabs onto the door, "theirs no way," Shedletsky replies.
Chance pushes on the door, then pulls, they groan, "ughhh.. you're right, they won't budge!"
"Well," Shedletsky stands up now, pressing his wings against his back so they don't take up space, "Should we explore?". Chance moves beside him, "guess we have nothing better to do!"
Both of them start walking towards the front desk, "Hey uh, did you also have that Poppy factory dream?" Chance brought his dream, "Ah so we both had it, probably the Spectre, that was honestly creepy as hell."
Chance nodded his head slightly, "Yea, who even is Poppy?", Shedletsky smirked, "A real girl, just like you!" He was quoting the last line Poppy had in that dream video thingy, this made Chance laugh, who put his hands on the front desk they finally made it over too.
Both of them started searching the area, it didn't last long as Shedletsky immediately found a green tape.
"Now what could this possibly go to?" He showed Chance the tape by holding it in the air.
"Probably that tape player that's green and hooked up to the TV." Chance pointed behind him , Shedletsky turned around.
"Wow, I'm the smartest of the smart." Shedletsky joked, "Well I mean, their is a difference between being smart and blind. Now put that tape in the tape player, I wanna see what's on it!" Chance walked over by the TV as Shedletsky put the tape in.
The TV started glitched to life, as it showed a.. hand? It was hard to tell what it was for both Shedletsky and Chance, then a new voice started up.
"Hi, my name is Leith Pierre, and I'm head of innovation at the playtime CO. Toy factory. If your seeing this, then your trespassing!"
"Whoopsies" Chance put his hands up as if was surrendering.
The guys voice continued on,
"Yea we play this little tape on loop whenever we close the factory for the day, so! Trespasser, just to make you aware, while we pride ourselves on our high quality toys and childcare. We also pride ourselves on our security."
"Well we trespassed without even wanting to be here AND haven't been caught yet, so I dunno if you should pride yourselves on that.." Shedletsky commented, pulling a giggle out of Chance
"For example, this facility is full of hidden motion triggers, which, once set off, will run the factory's emergency alarms and directly contact the authorities!"
"I wish the authorities would come.." Mumbled Chance,
"And that's one of the more.. tame.. aspects of our security system, no spoilers!"
"Awh yea I can't wait to get shot as a surprise. My favourite part of breaking and entering!" Shedletsky said putting his hands behind his head.
"So, ya got my warning! It's not to late to turn around, I just hope whatever your certain your doing is worth it."
And the tape turned off.
"Well that was very informative," Chance said sarcastically putting his hand on his hip.
"Shall we explore the area more?" Shedletsky turned away from the TV.
Chance looked back at the front desk, they had tried turning the computer on but nothing happened, plus that desk didn't look like it had anything worth spending time over.
"Yep!"
The first went to check out the space behind the front desk, but there was a big metal doorway piece that looked like a small arched garage door. There was some toys around it but that was it.
Then they went to the left side of the place, they tried to open the door, but to no avail. Chance then played with colors on the side. ".. I think this is a code? Like, we need a code for this.", "man I hate puzzle games.." Shedletsky sighed, his wing feathers fluffing up.
They started walking over to the right side
"Dude, why do you think it choose us for this?" Chance questioned, "No idea, maybe it just has something personally against us", Shedletsky said, "heh.. maybe it's just mad we are better then it."
They make it to the right side of the room, this door opens freely and has some stuff in it. Mostly toy boxes on some of the selves.
There's also a train in the middle of it above everything, Chance knew he heard a noise, now they know what the noise is!
"Ookkaayyy! You check right side I'll check left side" Chance followed what Shedletsky said, moving to the left he didn't see anything crazy, just toy boxes.. and more boxes
One thing that was driving him crazy though; that damn train. He looked up at it, it was a odd colour palette. Green, pink, yellow, then red. What things are those four specific colours. Four..
They blinked.
"Shedletsky, call me insane but I have an idea, I think those train colours in order are the same colours we need to get into that code room."
Shedletsky stared at him for a second,
"Woah bro, never told me you were genius."
Chance laughed, "I'm really not, Infact I think I'm insane myself." Shedletsky, who was now standing next to Chance apparently, elbowed him. "Well, it never hurts to try!"
They walk over to the code room, again, Chance puts in the code he remembers and.. it works!
"That's actually insane." Chance says, pretty surprised as he opens the door to the once locked room and walks in, Shedletsky following suit.
The room has more of an officey vibe then the last, it also has an old TV and a blue tape player.
Next to the TV is a weird hole in the wall covered with glass and something inside.
Then beside that there's a desk with a blue tape on it, Chance is the one to pick it up this time.
"Man, they're really bad at hiding these." Chance comments, Shedletsky shrugs, "I'm grateful for that, I would rather not go on a treasure hunt for these things."
Chance pushes the tape inside the tape player.
The TV glitches on.
This time, it starts with purple checkered pattern background, followed by relaxing music.
The playtime logo appears big on the middle of the screen, before shrinking a bit and going to the corner.
Something neither Chance nor Shedletsky have seen appeared on the screen, underneath it, the text said 'GrabPack'.
It changed to show it on a model of a human, showing you how to put it on. Underneath said 'Tighten the straps!'
'Hold both cannons' read the text beneath it showing you how it works.
A animation showing how it worked, the text underneath;
'-Pull the trigger to fire'
'-Pull again to Retract'
'-Hold to grip onto object'
Now the text was above the animation
'ONLY fire at small objects/handles'
'do NOT fire at a co-worker'
The animation with that text made both Shedletsky and Chance giggle a bit.
'This may cause injury'
Shedletsky made a small shocked noise at this animation due to the fact it featured blood and someone's head missing.
'wire is conductive! Use for rewiring!"
Chance took a small mental note of this due to the fact it was weird to him.
And finally, the ending text.
'Thank you
Use your GrabPack responsibly!'
The TV turned off, and suddenly the glass on the hole in the wall started sliding down.
"Oh! Is that the GrabPack?" Shedletsky noticed, "Ooo, sick!" Chance took it out, "May I?" They said, already trying to put it on. "Sure, we can swap if we need to!" Shedletsky wasn't even sure if the GrabPack would fit with his wings.
Chance shot at a small toy and pulled it towards him, "holy shit that's cool!" He said, admiring his GrabPack.
"Wasn't there like.. a red hand aswell? on the TV one." Shedletsky pointed out, Chance shrugged at this, "oh well, still sick as ever!"
"Wait, wasn't their a blue hand thing behind the front desk? Do you think we can use the hand for that?" Shedletsky says.
"Oh hell yea, we are on a roll!" He high fives Shedletsky.
They walk to the garage door and Chance shoots the single hand up to the blue handprint, a little loading bar appears and when it finishes the door starts opening.
When it's fully open, it comes to reveal a bigger part of whatever place they were in, and in the middle a blue, fluffy, giant.. toy? Stands tall.
It scares Chance at first, but then he realizes it's not alive and it won't attack him.. phew!
"So uh.. that things creepy as hell." Chance points at the big fluffy horrifying creature, "yea, no.. what is that?" Shedletsky replies.
They walk closer to it, Chance looks the little podium right infront of it.
"Hm, I think it's name is Huggy Wuggy, that's what the podium and all the boxes say." , "Huggy for short then, theirs no way I wanna say big fluffy terrifying blue creature or Huggy Wuggy everytime I wanna address him." Shedletsky says.
Chance reads the podium, "oh, this has some info.. damn Huggy was created in 1984?" Shedletsky laughs, "you old!" He says pointing at Huggy.
"It says here he was designed to be a toy that could hug you forever", Shedletsky made a 'yikes' face, "yea.... No... I think I'm good without the hugs."
"Oh, the founders name is Elliot Ludwig!", Chance notices, "Elliot also owns a toy factory? Thought he just owned a pizza place!", Shedletsky jokes
Due to their low attention spans, Chance and Shedletsky started to look at the doors, like the cafeteria and others, but they were all locked.
They come across another door with only one blue hand, Chance uses the GrabPack again but- this time it sparks and nothing happens, Shedletsky looks over at him.
"Uh... What didja do??" Chance puts his hands up, "nothing! I swear!",
Shedletsky looks around, "the power room.. would that work?" His wings fluttered with his question. He walked over but to no luck, it was also locked.
"Dude, I'm sorry I really have no idea what I did," Chance scratched his neck. Shedletsky smiled, "it's not your fault! I'm just wondering how it happened," Chance sighed and leaned on the wall, but then something caught his eye.
"Hey uhm.. did Huggy.. always have that..?" They pointed up to the key in Huggys hand.
Shedletsky blinked, "There's no way he had that the entire time.",
"Wait, I have an idea!," Chance moved into a better position then aimed for the key Huggy was holding, the blue hand luckily got it and he could grab it with his real hands after he brought it back.
"So uh, what's this for?" Chance said, holding the key up, Shedletsky pointed behind him at the locked power room, "Wanna try?", Chance nodded and handed the keys over to Shedletsky
The door clicked and opened, "Well then!" Shedletsky said surprised. The two of them entered the power room.
It was a pretty empty and dark space with a bunch of cabinets in it. Chance noticed a specific spot that was sparking, he pulled off the cover to it and it seemed to be a power source.
They remembered from earlier, that the hand can conduct electricity..
Chance shoots the hand and the electricity and-
"CHANCE OH MY GOD-" Shedletsky backed up from the glowing blue arm, Chance jumped a tiny bit, "Jesus Christ, I wasn't expecting the whole ARM to be filled to the brim with power.."
Shedletsky threw his arms up, "WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS GONNA DO??" Chance put his hands closely infront of him for defense "I mean.. I dunno.."
Chance started back away from the power, but it was still flowing through the GrabPack, he suddenly past a pole, when the arm of the GrabPack hit the pole, the lightbulb starts glowing.
"Oh! That's new" Chance said, "Is.. is that a good thing? Why is glowing?" Questioned Shedletsky.
Chance noticed their was one more pole, "wait a minute..", he pulled the powered arm around the 2nd pole.
And suddenly, all the power came back on!
The hand let go of the electricity power and Chance put his hands up in the air, "HELL YEA!",
"Let's get outta here", Shedletsky sighed, the both walked out of the power room.
Outside everything was normal,
Except for the fact where Huggy once stood tall was now empty.
"Oh what the fuck."
