Chapter Text
Theo was covering for Parrot while he worked on the electrical mainframe, fighting Wemmbu as best as he could, Apparently his Mace broke earlier so it was quite fair, He disappeared and he got a moment to rest.
“MACE ATTACK !!”
He heard multiple voices, Parrot screaming his name, and Wemmbu. He eventually blacked out, hitting the wall on his far right.
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‘⸊ˎ
He woke up again, in this void, his head hurt like crazy, and he could barely see.
“Wow !! A new kid !! WIFIES ! Introduce them to everyone.”
Theo opens his eyes, spotting Boomie infront of him, whats weird is he’s missing an arm. he races off to find wifies and eventually comes back.
“Yo dude !! I assume your one of parrots friends?”
Wifies looks like normal, except half his face is swallowed in this horrifying burn. He nods, trying to distract yourself from It.
“alright! heres everyone.”
He introduced theo to Spepticle, Nufuli, LuigiToans, DeanTheBean9, Boomie, Deputy Ace, and Napa.
“Thats everyone i can think of, just go interact with the others, we can figure out how you died later.”
Theo walks over to the group, they’re all laughing and talking.
“YO LUIGI !!!! When is a door not a door?”
“i don’t know, when is it not?”
“When its A-JAR!!!”
The room went silent, before bursting out laughing at Deans terrible joke. Luigi fell off his chair, rolling on the floor. Theo stared, watching as Luigi rolled on the floor, Boxes falling off their stands, tumbling off with a loud thud every time Luigi bumped into the tables.
“Uh, is this normal??”
“Yeah, 100% bro, WAIT NEW KID ???” Dean shot up, looking like he was gonna start doing jumping jacks.
“Bro. we JUST got introduced to him by Wifies. are you a brick, dean.” Deputy_Ace sighed, annoyed.
“Yeah probably. . .OW—” He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, earning a slap on the head from Ace.
Nufuli rolled his eyes, Leaning back on his chair.
“guys. Clearly the new kid is disturbed by all the ruckus that is happening, give him some space.” Nufuli said, shaking his head, clearly disappointed.
“HEY NEW KID !!!”
“My names Theo—“
“Tomato, Potato—“
“THOSE DON’T EVEN RHYME??”
“SHUT UP. Wanna see something cool???” Everyone started screaming “NO” At Spepticle, who was just grinning and staring at Theo, waiting for an answer.
“Uhm. . . Sure. . . ?” Theo spoke, clearly iffy about the idea of trusting this red, fetus looking thing.
“Theo, the one rule of this place, is NEVER trust Spepticle.” Deputy_Ace pointed to Spepticle, rolling his eyes dramatically. Which got him a shove off his chair, landing on the floor, beside Luigi who was oddly still down there.
Dean started laughing again, But Deputy_Ace pulled his chair leg from where he was laying, Making him flop to the floor pathetically, Now everyone was on the floor, asides from Theo, Spepticle, and Nufuli.
“So is this everyone? Asides from Wifies and Boomie being. . . somewhere else?” Theo asked, sitting on one of the empty seats.
“I mean, basically, asides from Napa, whos missing. this is just the waiting room, not the Aether itself.” Deputy_Ace spoke, his ear flicking.
“Yeah, Napa is. . . something alright, he randomly disappears for MONTHS. Theres also different sections in the waiting room for different people.” Luigi spoke, sitting up, acting as if he didn’t just have a laugh attack from the shittiest joke ever.
“The. . . waiting room. . . ?”
“The area that we’re in right now,” Luigi shrugged, looking around at the black, seemingly endless void.
“Makes sense. . .” Theo glanced around as well, his eyes lingering on the way everyone looks, how they’re different from the way Parrot described them.
. . .
“Bro bro you NEED to see how Dean looked.” Parrot laughed, holding out a picture of someone who looked like a 5 year old attacked his hair with scissors.
Theo fell back on the grass, wiping tears away, he clutched his stomach, laughing. The two of them laughed, rolling around on the grass. Parrot eventually sat up, smiling.
“Bro, All of their hair cuts were dogshit bro, like yours.”
“MY HAIR ISN’T THAT BAD???” Theo shouted, flipping off parrot, He laughed, a smile crossing Parrot’s face, the first few times he’s shown emotion other than anger or frustration since the law was defeated.
Maybe this moment could last forever?
. . .
Nothing good can last forever.
