Chapter Text
Even if they have rescued Guest from the world he was in, Guest didn’t seem eager at all. Guest didn’t reply to any questions at all, only waving his hands as if we’re missing something. Over the weeks he was distant, cold and didn't communicate whatsoever.
That's why I'm trying to somehow establish some kind of contact!
Im Noob, im more of a side-side kick if thats even a phrase, im used only when things are totally hopeless, like a dummy!! Even if that might sound rude I really don't take it that way!
I talked to some of the group rescue members about Guest where they handed me a file containing all the information they have gathered of Guest so far… which was… uummm minimal to say the least.. but that's okay, everyone needs adjusting.
I flipped through some of the info which was mostly just pictures and details about how distant they are, only ever eating or sleeping most of the time. States they’re aggressive but never acted out on it.
This guy doesn't look aggressive at all, more like just a blank slate of nothingness, I don't think they see the situation they have put him in, contained like an animal. I mean i tried talking to them about it but i dont have any say really.
“Guyz is this really necessary!?” I asked, kind of nervous, I mean its not my fault afterall, ive never been placed in a task that high,,,! Yet Acorn just shrugged and nodded, “Sorry Nooby, but we need them to answer some questions and he still has not revealed anything, info about that universe is critical!” Acorn said while making drastic hand movements, trying to represent just how important this is, “besides i think youre set for this, youre as sweet as an apple pie Noobie”
“ahhaa dont you flatter me before sending me off to my doom” I said making a shy pose before being taken over to the room, I sighed and knocked on the door.
No response.. okay.. so now what
Noob shook his head and just opened it, upon this a dazzled Guest turned to look at who came in. I smiled awkwardly just to get completely ignored. He looked away from me as if my presence was an inconvenience.
“Hello, hi im Noob” I said with a smile, to which he just deadpanned and ignored instantly, I still kept my smile up and continued on talking. “Your name is Guest! You know odd name for someone”, he looked at me annoyed, as if he wanted to say a comeback but couldnt. “Heyy but you know i see it as an inviting name, weird they wanted to name you something else though, I think its pretty nice”
Guest looked at me and blinked, he moved his blocky arms around in a weird manner. I tilted my hand and laughed it off, “do you not speak? Can you not or are you selectively mute?” I asked, before realising the question is too specific.
“Okay wait, are you mute, shake your head if no nod your head if yes!” Noob said proudly as if he invented something completely life changing.
Guest looked at him like he was dumb but nodded his head slowly, to which Noob was ecstatic to see any type of communication. “Woah you actually understand! So you do speak english? Most of the team thought you didn't speak or understand English so they were worried, so why do you not answer any questions?” Noob said, forgetting Guest didn't talk, he waited like an idiot before realising.
“Oh right! Wait just- okay let me just give you this not waste time getting stuff” Noob said before handing guest the notepad and pen he had to take any info down, Guest hesitantly took it and started writing something down before handing it to Noob.
“Noob is a weirder name.” In very neat handwriting
“Woahhh you have really neat handwriting, and you're fast at writing too! Not appreciating the insult though hey” Noob said with a slight pout. Guest took the notepad back and wrote.
“I don't want to be here” it said
Noob blinked as he read it, “where do you wanna be?” he asked curiously, to which Guest just looked at him without a word, “I mean I know youre from another dimension, something different then here, why do you not wanna stay? I heard that where youre from its extremely dangerous!”
Guest looked away before writing something down quick
“I forgot something.” weird anything they wrote ended with a punctuation, I laughed at my own thought before turning to him.
“Forgot what? Is it something important? I'd think it is, tell me” I pried, but Guest just shifted and shook his head. I sighed and reluctantly gave up on prying. “Im sorry but there is no way, its way too dangerous because of how long you've stayed here, besides its difficult getting people through..”
Just at that sentence Guest scowled, he turned away and didnt do anything, like a moody child. Noob blinked and waited, “hey come on is it really that bad? Okay it is for you i guess, but our team is nice! Okay they did keep you in this room for most of the time BUT! once youre all better you can go out and do fun stuff, though you have to swear to secrecy”
To that Guest just turned to the corner of his bed and stared at the wall, Noob sat down on the bed next to them to which they moved away.
“Moving away? Woow i thought we were friends” Noob said with a snicker, he poked Guest to the point they turned towards him irritated.
“Oops, hey you gotta answer me the questions, pleaseeee” I said handing him the notepad, Guest took it before writing stuff down.
“I want to go back.”
I sighed and just nodded, looking through the pages and trying to think of an answer of how I could cheer them up, I mean there was nothing he knew about this guy, what could he talk about?
“Is there anything I can get you?”
Guest sighed but there really wasnt any sound of a voice, he wrote something down and handed it back to me before turning away like hes embarrassed, I read the text.
“Plushie”
I blinked, an unusual request from someone very cold and distant, I looked up and nodded with a smile, I pulled out my phone and sent out an urgent message to the others about what Guest wanted, looking up I saw Guest still trying to cover himself up with their cap. I laughed, “it's not weird, you know I sleep with plushies too! I told them to bring one of mine over. I wonder which one they'll choose!”
Guest looked back at me before scoffing, though once again it didnt make any distinct sound, only air passing through, they looked at me before laying back down, making it clear he was finished with any kind of communication.
Noob waited awkwardly for any of the team to come by, waiting around 20 minutes felt like 2 hours while watching Guest.
“I like your hat though, it looks cool, it matches your clothes” I said with a smile, genuinely finding his unusual attire special, he looked over at me and sat up with his blocky arms, grabbing the notepad.
“You’re weird.” It said, I gave a small laugh, alot of people said that to me so its not unusual for me to hear, but somehow it didnt sting as much as it usually did, Noob found himself naturally feeling comfortable around the guy.
“I guess? But you realise you are too right, youre like an ice king not talking to anyone” I said trying to tease them, he just blinked and looked away. Before I could say anything else there was a knock on the door, I opened it to see Bacon handing me a plushie, he looked over at Guest and blinked.
“How’s it going?” Bacon asked, a little concerned for my well-being but apperantly not enough to get me out. I nodded softly, “not too bad actually, but.. why did you take this out of all the plushies..?” I asked as I looked down at the plushie of MYSELF. I mean Guest will think of me as a total creep. “Unless you want to wait again, but I’m guessing you don’t wanna anyway bye goodluck!” He said quickly before running off.
I blinked and turned towards guest who wasnt phased, but more interested, I closed the door behind me and awkwardly tried to explain, “So how bad do you want that plushie?” I said trying to hide it, Guest took it in the wrong way and turned back.
i sighed and just revealed it, tossing it over to Guest, embarrassed. “They picked this one, if you want a new one itll take a while..”, I said with an awkward smile, Guest looked at it confused and somewhat distraught, taking the notepad again.
‘Why do you have a plushie of yourself?” the note said, I winced at the mention. “Its merch, our team is pretty well-known”
God that sounded extremely stupid, Guest even look at me like I was a weirdo. “Take it or leaveee it”
Guest just took it and set it down next to himself, as if only complying because they’re nice.. honestly took me kind of off guard but oh well!
“Welll, it’s past my time and I think you said enough, so farewell Guest!”
Before I left they picked up the notepad again and wrote something down hesitantly.
“Guest1357” it said, neat as always.
“What? What does that mean?” I asked confused, i mean why would their name have numbers? Is there a deeper meaning?
“My name is Guest1357, my number, its how you recognise me.”
To that I simply blinked and nodded, “thats cool, not too bad actually, though it confuses me, is there more of you?” to which Guest nodded his head.
I smiled and waved, “Anyways, im off! Goodnight Guest, ill be back soon!” I said, this time somewhat truthful. I went back to the team and told them everything that I gathered so far.. but i dont think he’s a bad person.

Guest looked over at the plushie and sighed, seriously it was already embarrassing enough to ask for a plushie but this is what they get? Whatever, he’ll sleep fine without it.
Will he though?
