Chapter Text
I feel like my head is going to explode...
ugghhhh....What did I eat last night that left me in such a deplorable state?
I can't remember... well, I guess that'll be a problem for later Right now, the first thing I need to do is get up from this cold and hard wood floor.
After what seems like a blessed eternity, I am able to roll over and get on my stomach so I can get up with my hands... The problem is that the moment I open my eyes, instead of seeing my hands and arms with five digits on each one, They seem to vary between a light pink and one more like a strong orange?
I find myself with two limbs covered in a black liquid up to the middle of my (arms?) that instead of having normal skin tone (human), They seem to vary between a pattern of light pink and one more like a strong orange.
*Gurglururghhhurhghh?!?!?!!!*
I screamed (or tried to) completely terrified... only to realize I couldn't when I brought my (claws?) to my mouth to try and see what was obstructing it I just ended up realizing it was more of that black stuff that was on my (gloves??) hands.
I tried to calm myself down by stabilizing my breathing through my (nonexistent) nose and trying to understand my situation, looking around my new environment which seemed familiar in a way I can't explain.
I realize I'm in front of a projector, which shows the image of a cartoon of a black and white mask, they appear to share a single body, as they are connected by a red scarf a black body and arms and legs that match the color of each mask side (I think these types of people are called Siamese twins)
Looking around, I see that there are seats of different colors (colorful Bean bags too!) some shelves full of books behind there is a big glass window that let me see some.. cubicles?, many boxes and metal racks and... a kind of large tube with a red light that is connected to the ceiling.
*Ok I'm going to put a pin on the ominous red-light tube with the red valve handlebar, but first I need to find a place where I can wash this--*
My thoughts are interrupted by footsteps coming from the hallway by the large window.
Almost immediately I throw myself behind the bean bags just in case it's something that could hurt me or worse.
When I raise my head above my (not so safe) protection, I encounter... a blueish being with a pink bow (covered by the same black substance as my hands and mouth) wearing a pink dress and some long yellow and... mustard?(I kinda suck at identifying colors)-colored striped pattern stockings.
What shocked me wasn't just seeing something that, honestly, shouldn't exist, but seeing the girl's face (yeah, the pink dress was enough for me to realize that I'm not that stupid) But her face, she seemed to be in some kind of pain, her eyes were red but not from irritation, but completely red and seemed to have a kind of dangerous glow.
I was so lost in the creature that I didn't realize she was coming this way; by the time my senses returned, she was a few steps ahead of me Consumed by the fear that suddenly came over me, I was paralyzed, the only thing I could do was close my eyes, expecting the worst....
.
.
.
When nothing happens, I open my eyes only to see her walk past me, completely ignoring me as if I weren't even there... Why would she ignore me? The only way she'd walk right past me would be if... if I were... somekind of...
.
.
.
.
!!!!!!
I ran straight to the window just to see my reflection and... there, staring at me, was some kind of... lobster? No, its head It doesn't add up. I got confused by the gigantic tail I have forming what is my head.
I feel like I'm a shrimp... yeah that sounds right in my head, but that's not the important thing, the important thing is those red eyes staring intently. I raise my (gloved) hand towards my head to touch (my????) face, the reflection follows the movements without fail which leaves me more (desolate?).
knowing that this guy is not someone else following my moves to mess with me, no...
This is (NOT) my face..... and my (NEW..?) Body....
.
.
.
.
.
.
Want to know what's the scariest thing about this? I don't feel anything, not even the slightest. It's like something or someone has been throwing a bucket of cold water on me ever since I freak out upon seeing my new limbs......
I'm trying to remember something... anything, but nothing comes to mind... I know how to walk, cook, run, draaa- (okay, maybe not draw, at least not very well) But nothing—friends, family, colleagues, whatever—all of that just disappeared overnight.....
The truly frustrating part is that I feel like I have family and friends, but when I think about them, I simply can't remember anything about them...
I kept touching my (new?) face and body for who knows how long without realizing it, completely ignoring the mechanical sound of something large opening behind me, not until the sound of a loud dry clang of metal hitting metal echoes throughout this places wich makes me stop any attempt (tried) to have a breakdown and makes me go spy on what that sound was.
I look behind me just to see my self alone The girl in the pink dress left, most likely without even looking back. I walked to the source of the sound and I see a massive door made of metal, which is most likely opens like one of those drawbridges,But what caught my attention was not only the massive metal door but what was in front of it.
In front of me were cartoon characters coming out of a elevator.....
No, I'm not kidding, literally a group of... animated (objects?) that you'd only see in old Mouse movies came out from behind the giant metal door...
But before I could even begin to process the madness of the situation that in which I currently find myself.......Without me noticing it...One of the Toons runs and crashes into me.....
*Another day another supply run to go!*
That's what I would have liked to say, but as always I'm too nervous to say anything
*sigh*
"uhmm. Is something wrong, Looey?"
"o-ouh. e-emm no, not really poppy, its just been a tricky run thats all"
"oh! well this Is the final floor and dandy said it only has 2 twisted! si it should be easy peasy!"
poppy finishes with a bright smile which is quite contagious as it makes me smile too.
"Dont jinxed girl"
says connie.
"Honestly, Dandicus and I are going to have a talk with the other mains after this. The Twisteds were acting more erratically than usual."
Vee says, completely irritated
"I agree with Vee on that, the Twisteds were acting as if something had disturbed them"
brightney complements.
"UuUuuUh ominoussss"
said gigi before laughing with connie
"gigi! thats not something to joke with"
Tisha admonishes the duo with a hard look.
I can see Sprout sigh before resuming his gaze straight ahead of the elevator door (most likely because this was an emergency run and he had planned to make a cake with cosmo and ginger)
I decide to copy a bit of Sprout's calmness by also looking at the elevator door
"sooooo Vee!, How many machines would be?"
I asked Vee trying to make small talk.
"Mmmm There are 8 of us on this run so I would say there are 6 or 7 machines."
"huh kinda sucks that the machines and twisted tend to be completly random the lower the floors are"
as she finishes speaking, and the door opens And we are greeted by one of the rainbow floors, the floor with the projector to be precise, When everyone got out of the elevator, Sprout signaled for us to approach and plan how to move without complications.(because Vee and specially brightney might make distracting harder)
Although Vee seems a little reluctant, she tends to put her pride aside in these kinds of situa--.
"last one Is a rotten egg!"
said gigi running off, most likely because she wants to find 'cool stuff' that she keeps putting it in her trash pile.
'(Just like yatta...)'
"WAIT GIGI COME BACK!!!" screamed Sprout.
"relax Berry boy. *testing mic* there are only two twisteds, se--""OOFFF"
Just as Vee was about to finish activating her ability, I could hear Gigi crash into something, We immediately went past the two boxes to see what happened only to see Gigi in front of a bright green outline Twisted Shrimpo.
"Gigi!!!"
Sprout shouts before running and using the air horn he had in cases like these.
Sprout thinking that Twisted Shrimpo was already following him (just like he always did) and seeing Twisted Poppy coming up the stairs, he decides to take both of them to a secluded place....
The problem on that was...it didnt follow him...Twisted Shrimpo just stood there watching Sprout walk away because he had Twisted Poppy behind him.
I could see Sprout's face go from confusion to horror when he realized that Twisted Shrimpo didn't follow him despite being blow an entire air horn in his face..... Sprout disappeared into one of the rooms near the out-of-service elevator, leaving us alone with Twisted.
"W-w-why the air horn di-didnt work.."
I whisper to myself, but everyone probably heard me.
"uhh.... Why he didn't move when... why he didn't follow Sprout....."
Brightney half whisper half shouted to a stunned Vee who seemed to have seen something that shouldn't have happened.
"L-Looey! go and try to get his attention,now!!"
Tisha snaps me out of my shock and I nod nervously , going to try and help Gigi who is still on the ground quite confused to see that Twisted didn't jump on her.
Only to stop dead in my tracks when I saw what the Twisted did next.... The Twisted crouches down and extends his hand (covered in Ichor) towards a completely astonish Gigi.......
I reached out to help the dome-headed girl wearing a bluish sweater with a big yellow star on the front and red skin?. But I can see the hesitation in reaching my glove-like hand because of a detail I forgot...It's covered in that black substance that's also preventing me from speaking. I withdraw my hand and look at the other cartoons just to see the faces of complete disbelief at my action.
*I feel like the creature I transform into shouldn't be doing this, judging by their reactions.Especially the green robot television that seems to be seeing a glitch in the Matrix...*
.....
"OH COME ON, I REMEMBER THE MATRIX BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER MY FAMILY OR MY NAME!!?!!?"
"*I HATE THIS KIND OF RIP-OFF!!!*"
I scream, or well, I try to; it probably just sounds like a lot of horrifying gurgling wet noises.if the girl's reaction is any to go by, She begins to crawl backwards towards her companions who tense up at my action.
A... ghost?!? floats near the girl and helps her to her feet as they back away from me. I try to lift my arms in a position of surrender trying to show that I'm not dangerous (although I probably look like it, very much so) but Something is stopping me from doing it.
Warning: Thanks to interaction with non-twisted Toons, the mission menu and user interface have been unlocked.
*Huh?*
Menu? Like in a video game? That must be some kind of joke right?.
Before I could understand what the message meant, one of the toons said to a... Balloon Boy??.... Not a guy who gives out balloons, but a guy completely made of balloons from head to toe,
His head and torso are yellow, and his limbs and... ears????? vary between green and purple; he wears a white vest with green and purple dots.
"Lo-Looey get its attentio-on"
says a certain girl in a pink dress and pink bow who I clearly saw not long ago covered in a certain black substance.
"Ye-yeah dude! dont just stand there! Do something!"
says the ghost girl (if her voice is anything to go by), Her body is light blue and her hair is a few shades stronger than her body. She is wearing a kind of white sleeveless shirt and a white cap.
"i-i dont know if i ca-an.... it should be following me or brightney by n-now"
said the ballon that I identified as looey.
"If that was de case it should be following sprout when he blew off de air horn in its face!"
says a light blue tissue box with... wearing a simple blue maid's dress (she's also carrying a feather duster for some reason)
"guys I don't know if... if it is aggressive...mayb--"
"Brightney Absolutely not!"
The purpleish??? lamp (yeah it is a lamp head) was just saying only to be cut off by the green robot television
"b-but vee!! this Is the first time a Twisted, not anytwisted mind you but a Twisted Shrimpo no less! Is not being agresive! this could help us understand more abou-"
"you and rodger need to stop hanging out, like right now" fiinishes Vee.
"G-Guys!!!"
i heard a voice call from the stairs ,I turn around and see that it's the strawberry.who ran past me while using some kind of horn on my face.
For some reason, that should have made me chase after him, and by not doing so, it seems that terrified them, (especially the strawberry and the television).
"i lost twisted poppy near the televisión.... Vee...Isn't that a--?"
"Sprout.Dont.get.close.to.it"
Vee warned. Sprout froze again and he looked at me like I was about to explode,I continued watching them intently.
With every second I watched him, he seemed to tense up more and more. (He's only wearing a scarf with a striped pattern of... pink? and white, and he also has... I don't know if you'd call it hair, but it looks green, making it stand out even more that his head is... well, a strawberry.)
"V-Vee! why there is...."
"I.... I dont know..."
"Vee you... you knew this kinda behavior from twisted?"
"brightney later oka---"
"Gigi! girl what are yo--"
"relax Connie, i think i got this"
"Gigi what---"
Poppy said to Gigi, who started to approach me slowly , drawing everyone's attention to the two of us.
"G-Gigi Stay away from that thin-"
"GIGI WHAT---"
"Hey Shrimpson! how its going?"
I cut off Sprout before he could scream.To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing, but the fact that the Twisted, Shrimpo's Twisted. Was Trying to help me get back on my feet is already enough to attempt something the mains probably wouldn't approve off.
'Heh, not even Shrimpo himself would dare to do this'
"Gigi what are you..."
Before Tisha could continue with her question, the Twisted Shrimpo took a small step towards me, which made me and probably everyone else tense up.
"*Gulp* He-Heeeeeyy Buddy... heh it-its m-meee.. your ummmm frie-end Gigi~"
I say and then give my best smile, which is most likely not convincing at all. The Twisted just stares at me intensely as if trying to solve a puzzle I can't understand.
"Gigi....back away from it.... slowly " said Sprout
"Ye-yeah Gigi, i am with sprout on this one you dont know what Is that thing about yo--" Vee was saying but then.
Twisted Shrimpo grabbed me by my shoulders (scaring the living hell out of me and most likely out of everyone)
"GIGI!!"
"OH MY GOD----"
"SPROUT WHAT DO WE---"
"N-NO W-WAY-"
*This... This is it.This is how I will die*
I close my eyes for the inevitable headbutt that I'm about to receive, which will most likely crack my skull open while I listen to my friends shouting about what to do to get the twisted off me.
(twisteds are usually not strong enough to do that, but there are exceptions, like for example twisted goob, twisted scraps 'her dumb tail' , twisted blot, twisted coal, twisted soulvester 'with his silly but sharp sword', twisted boxten, the mains obviously and finally twisted Shrimpo).
.
.
.
.
.
When my face doesn't end up violently kissing the floor or the wall, i crack 1 eye open just to see the face of the twisted Shrimpo looking at me with genuine curiosity, (which calms me down a little surprisingly )
.He then looks at the rest and upon seeing their distress, he removes his hands from my shoulders slowly (staining my sweater btw) and takes a few steps back, creating distance between us again
"Gigi! girl are you ok?" asked Connie behind me
"Ye-yeah, heh I'm fine, just a slight scare, that's all. " I replied
Poppy, Brightney, Vee, and Tisha approach me and Connie, while Sprout and Looey stay closer to the Twisted Shrimpo. (maintaining a safe distance from him).
"Are you nuts!!!! that was Completely unnecessary, you could have been hurt by that thing for nothing!" Vee admonishes.
"I'm with Vee, doing that was incredibly irresponsible of you, Gigi." tisha follows up
"Gigi, you're my friend and all, but that was next level of dumb, even you know who standards. " connie exclaims making me flinch a bit.
"But why..... you know.... it didnt bash your head through a wall!" asked poppy
"Poppy!" Tisha call out.
"Wait brightney, she has a point " Brightney said now looking at Vee
We all look at Vee who, for her part, seems quite uncomfortable; after a few seconds she sighs and looks at all of us.
"Well, anyway, we have to warn everyone that, as always, Dandy's countermeasure plans... tend to fail on the long run."
"what does have to do---" I start saying only to be cut off
"Like i said. Not here " Vee said with finality.
Brightney was about to try to continue the conversation but
we heard a growl coming from where Twisted Shrimpo, Sprout and Looey were,
We all turned towards the direction of the sound and watched as the Twisted Shrimpo prepared to circle a Twisted Poppy who, for her part, looked...
*Is that twisted poppy...... scared.. of the other twisted*
Notice: Thanks to the interaction of 1 toon of each rarity, the socialization table has been unlocked.
*ok......?*
A message appeared before this one saying I had to keep in touch with a toon, and well... Gigi the gachapon was the closest to me, so... nothing personal or strange mind you!.
I also wanted to see the toons' reaction to a sudden action but without any physical harm..... and I must admit I wanted to see something I noticed in these cartoon characters brought into the real world Their eyes are incredibly expressive; they can convey so many emotions just by looking at them I don't know if this is something all cartoon characters share or if there are exceptions... oh well.
I walk away from the group (Sprout and looey following closely) where l wake up not so long and open my menu to see what all this is about and......uh.....

Completely ignoring 'that' message, I proceed to analyze my statistics 15 hit points, 10 strength, 10 speed, 10 endurance, 5-10 damage, and 10 dexterity....It's not bad, really, although I have no idea what the maximum stats are for Twisted or Toons, so...Not bad i guess? i mean If I were a normal toon, I could only go up to 20 points (I guess), but since I'm a Twisted, I can apparently go up to 40.....
..........
There's also the user interface, but... that's locked.........
...
....I mean..... It's not bad considering how terrible this whole situation is for me, looking behind me, I see Looey and Sprout talking quietly to each other.
Until they notice I'm watching them, which abruptly ends their conversation, I see them tensing up a bit (especially Sprout), although Looey doesn't seem very afraid of me anymore being a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
Looey looks to his left and his whole body tenses, he touches Sprout's shoulder in rapid succession until he looks at him.
After seeing her face, I follow her gaze just to see what... The twisted version of Bubble Girl Poppy, (Unlike her twisted version, her pink ribbon is clean and... shiny? And her dress is well cared for , her striped stockings completely without any trace of the black substance btw) I think that was her name, coming from the side of the crates and metal rack
I still haven't seen the social board that the menu told me I've unlocked because i cant do it if there are toons on the same floor as me....*sigh*.....
Honestly, I don't want to hurt such cute beings as these toons That would be... bad for me and my (scarred) mental health at the moment.....and of all the twisted versions that must exist (there's probably at least one twisted version for every toon there is)
I just so happened to stumble upon one of those twisted versions that needs a hug more than a fist in the teeth.....
*'sigh' lets get this over with*
I open my eyes to ser the twisted version of the poppy girl, she was looking at looey but the moment my eyes set on her she stopped cold.
*heh You're only just now noticing I exist, aren't you?*
Perhaps it's the intention of my eyes that has stopped her in her tracks, Since I no longer see it as something that can harm me (sure she still can, I have my health so...)
But I can also hurt her, and from what little I've interacted with these toons I can say with certainty that to this day none of them (at least the 8 in front of me) thought about attacking a Twisted either because they were afraid of them, or because they were much stronger than them, which was probably one of the main reasons.
Or.... perhaps because of whatever the black substance is, it could be infectious if it comes into contact with an open wound.(because from my interaction with Gigi, none of the 5 who stayed talking to her seemed scared about me having touched and stained her) sooo......
I growl surprising both Looey and Sprout (and myself) who back away understanding my intentions.
I can hear footsteps coming from the direction where the giant metal door is.most likely Gigi, Poppy, Tisha, Vee, Brightney, and Connie.
*heh*
*hehehe*
*hehehehe...Ahahahaha*
This feeling... is so familiar... my heart racing, my fists clenched .
*yeah this feeling it takes me home for some reason.*
I would be smiling if it weren't for the black substance covering my mouth.

!!!!!
BRING.IT.ON!!!!!!
*GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!*
the abnormal twisted Shrimpo lunged at Twisted Poppy, who instinctively raised both arms towards her head; they collided and went down the stairs Twisted Poppy bore the brunt of the impact after being tackled.
Twisted Poppy takes five punches to the face before she can shake off the abnormal shrimpo, who, for his part, seems much happier after blowing some steam from... whatever. that was bothering him,
Twisted Poppy tried to throw herself to crush the abnormal in a deadly embrace, It just could easily dodge it by stepping to the side, putting him in the perfect position to give her a right hook that made her lose her balance, making her fall back.
*Didnt Dandy didn't say that these things shouldn't come up from the deep floors at all!!?!!??*
*and why are his fists glowing?!*
I force myself from stated of shock and started doing the same with looey.
"Looey, Looey!! "
"hu-hUH!?!"
"I need you to go with the others to do those machines so we can get out of here as quickly as possible!."
"Bu-But!.... what about you---"
"I'm going to keep an eye on the abnormal and the twisted poppy. I need those machines up and running as fast as possible. If we don't contain it here, it could get out of control."
"co-c-contain?! A-AbnOrmal!? s-Sprout WhA---"
"LOOEY NOW!!!!"
"a-aAAaAh! o-o-okk!"
I see Looey going with Vee and the others who seem to be talking erratically; Vee is probably already telling them the same thing I told Looey.
*'sigh' this is going to be a really long day isnt it*
*Not to mention that dandy will probably say we're making a mountain out of a molehill, Luckily, Dyle is taking a much more active role in these kinds of decisions, he, astro and pebble are the only ones that can get throught his big head*
I glance towards the two twisted figures only to see them getting closer and closer to the out-of-service elevator just because the abnormal keeps dodging Twisted Poppy's attacks with slight ease only to end up receiving more of the counteroffensive of the abnormal twisted
"*whistle* That shrimpo is definitely giving it his all."
"Uhhh!?!"
"Co-Connie dont do that, and why are you not doing the machines!!"
"Relax berry bo--"
"ConnieISwearToEverythingAbove-"
"okokok chill! i was trying to lighten the mood a bit..." Connie pouts slightly.
"...."
"...."
"I am going to follow them, 'the abnormal seems to have the upper hand' " I murmur the last part, but Connie most likely hears me.
"......Carefull dude, i am priming the machine on the staff supply room"
"Cool" i said moving down the stairs towards them as i follow a path of ichor (most likely from twisted poppy ) i reach the big Window thats grants you visión of this out of service elevador and see the twisted poppy barely holding on, she was completely covered in bruises on her face, Ichor leaking from her eyes and mouth, her bow on the ground and her dress covered in Ichor stains
The abnormal twisted was much better; he only had scratches on his arms and one on his face, but he looked pretty tired Because Shrimpo, the toon it's based on, isn't usually very well-known for its statistics...not very outstanding, to say the least.
*Well, small blessings, I suppose.*
I heard a ding followed by 3 more (most likely Vee ,Brightney, Connie, and Gigi, I wonder if Looey-)
D I N G
'that was probably poppy'.
i thought to myself i heard something on my right and I immediately turn around just to see... Tisha coming by
"Looey is about to finish his machine... they keep fighting?"
Any response from me was cut short by the sound of metal hitting something hard and wet.Both Tisha and I looked out the window only to see the abnormal one (who looked much worse now since one of his eyes appeared to have been cut out)grab the head of the twisted poppy and smash it against the out-of-service elevator door for the second time The body of the twisted poppy slides to the ground with no sign that it will get up again.
The abnormal also falls to the ground apparently but seems to remain conscious (unfortunately for me)
Tisha watches the scene with horror and disgust, and I'm honestly not doing any better.
"Sprout.... did that twisted just-"
"sprout! tisha! se are all on the elevador! Come quickly so Connie can finish the machine and we can get out of here!"
Vee's voice cuts through the tension and snaps us out of the trance we were in.
We both look at each other and nod at the same time, then head back to the elevator.not without looking back one last time, hoping the abnormal doesn't come for us next.
When we arrived, Vee gave the signal and Connie, finishing the machine, opened the elevator door. We all entered almost immediately, all except...
"Gigi! Girl what are you doing! come inside" said connie to Gigi who didnt seems to eager to enter the elevator .
"Gigi! come right NOW, WE NEED-"
" Just! a moment i want to see if-"
"he Is out cold Gigi! now come on in so we can-" as I was saying this as I walked towards Gigi who was on the railing trying to see if the abnormal was going to say goodbye.
then i saw it.
in the center of the floor On the green carpet was the abnormal twisted Shrimpo covered in wounds and cuts stained in Ichor.
He looked at me like someone would analyze a recipe or a condiment, and I froze...But when his eyes met Gigi's, he simply looked at her for a moment, then raised his hand and waved goodbye. Gigi, for her part, was stunned to see him covered in Ichor, but she returned the greeting without much further complication.
The two of us entered the elevator and the metal door fell with a final thud.......
Nobody said anything for a long time.....
The compartment where Dandy opens his shop to sell items, and from it comes Dandy himself wearing that commercial smile which no longer fools anyone at this point
"Hello my friends! I'm sorry we had to do this emergency run, 'me and dyle have no idea what happen that we lost so much power' but it was necessary to keep GardenView running! So... I hope it wasn't too... too bad...."
His mask falls to pieces when he sees our faces, especially mine and Vee's.
"Dandy We need to talk, all the mains, and then have a meeting for all the toons, and I mean all."
".... ummm.. Sprout?" Dandy asks, sounding genuinely concerned
Vee never sounds like this, even on the longest and most dangerous runs. I would also be very worried if she told me the same thing in the same way.
I could feel all those eyes on me, all I could do was sigh and look Dandy in the face to tell him
"Dandy we have an abnormal roaming the upper floors.."

"............What....."
