Ficool

Chapter 2 - Saferoom (2)

The 2 of them continued to walk past the hallways and corridors of this place. It's so empty, knowing most of the paths just lead to nowhere.

After a few minutes, they finally reached somewhere with a wider space.

"Oh wow, there are a lot of people here." █████ said, looking throughout the room.

There are a significant number of people here, possibly more than 14 people, but not including the other 3 on the other side of the room. In the larger group, █████ notices there are some people that don't look human, or some that do look human but just weird. Some of them seem to have colorful skins, like dark green, light yellow, deep blue, reddish-yellow, and so on. Some of them are... normal humans like me.

And then some of them are... just creatures... Creatures I have never seen. Some of them look like the normal animals we have but can talk. Some can walk on 2 feet or something like that, and then some of the other creatures are just... Really weird.

("Really, where the hell am I!") █████ said.

"You can go over there." Narrator said, gesturing towards the smaller group of 3 people.

█████ looks towards them... They look young, probably around their early 20s.

"Some of them looked like the people over there" █████ said, talking about the larger group.

"I know, they're a part of Centauri humans. Like me." Narrator said.

("Come to think of it, it's just now I realized that this Narrator person has light orange skin.") █████ thought, before they said, "The skin colors make me think you guys have some sort of disease at first."

The Narrator chuckled at that a little, "Fortunately, we are not. It's just how we are."

"Now, excuse me." Narrator said before heading away, "I must gather something."

... █████ watches as the Narrator steps away. They had the urge to follow him, but they decided not to. █████ looked back to the other three. He finally walked up towards them.

("They seem to be conversing about something before I get close.") █████ thought, observing not from afar.

One is female, two are males.

The girl has lightish pink skin, and her irises are purple. From the looks of her, she seems like she's some sort of a... troublemaker, she looks smug when talking. She's currently sitting sideways with her leg on top of another. She's wearing a loose and oversized hot-pink and black striped sweater, one side of the shoulder hanging while the other clearly exposed her shoulder and a black bra strap. On the bottom is a short black skirt, beneath it seem to be garter straps connected to each sheer sock. And to end it, a pair of sneakers. Her hair looks messy and long, it seems to be put back by the updo buns a bit. On each side of her head is a pink ribbon, and then on the left side, one snowflake pin and a smaller one. She also has a skateboard near her and 3 black spray cans attached to her waist. Most notably, she seems certainly curvaceous and busty.

Another is a male with dark blue skin, his irises are orange. He has his arms crossed and legs crossed, sitting on the floor. His figure is built well too. He's a gym-goer, maybe. Doesn't seem to talk much either, but he looks stern with his eyes closed, so he's probably the one to be serious in most conversations. He's wearing a blue leather vest, unzipped. Beneath it is just a white tank top. On the bottom is jeans with some torn parts and a pair of sandals. His hair is a drop fade with curls and is short. His sunglasses rest atop his forehead. At some point while looking, █████ notices this person opened one of his eyes to look at him for a few seconds before closing again and readjusting his position.

The next one is also a male, who looks younger than the others. Seems to be built normally like █████, seems to be sitting normally. His skin is light blue, his hair is somewhat messy, and he's wearing glasses. Talks with the girl at some point, but then writes something down with his pen in what looks like his notepad. His irises are also orange... but slightly darker. He wears an oversized, baggy jacket with fluff on the neck and the end of his sleeves. Underneath is just a normal shirt with the front saying, "Never give up!" and a symbol of a basketball person slam dunking the hoop. He wears baggy jeans too, and at the bottom, long boots.

Dagus seems to be the one to analyze the most; he can talk way too forwardly at some point, which may or may not make someone uncomfortable.

█████ then sits down near them after observing for a few seconds.

"Heya!" The pink girl said enthusiastically.

"Hi." The dark-blue male said bluntly.

"Hello..." The light-blue male said softly.

... "What's up?" █████ said.

"The ceiling, of course. What else can there be?" The girl said, chuckling.

"Dad jokes, seriously?" The dark-blue male said.

"Come on, Syle. It's funny!" The girl said to the dark-blue male, Syle.

"Well, some of them." Syle answered.

"45% of dad jokes are funny. Lanora used the other 55%." The light-blue male said, referring to the pink girl as Lanora, "From what I understand, jokes that involve killing another are much funnier."

"What, like those modified Headbooks photos?" Lanora said, "Well, you know what? Sure. I suppose I do find some of them funny."

("They just seem to be talking casually, I should ask something.") █████ thought to themselves.

"So... I assume you are all trapped here too?" █████ asked.

"Hahah, yeah, we are." Lanora said, "It's been a day anyway, I think we'll be fine."

"There's 20% chance we'll be fine." The light-blue male said.

"Dagus, live up a bit." Lanora said, gesturing her hand up before putting them on her knees. She referred to the light-blue male as Dagus.

"What's your name, by the way?" Lanora said, looking at me with those half-lidded eyes.

"█████." █████ replied.

"Alright, welcome to the club then, █████!" Lanora exclaimed happily with a small chuckle before dropping her voice again a little, "All of us have to stay together for now anyways, I'm sure you don't mind some of ruckus, ya?"

"How bad can it go?" █████ asked.

"A litt-" Lanora said before Syle cuts, "Very bad."

Lanora paused for a bit, "What, no! It's never that bad~..."

"You got in trouble for vandalism again few days ago before we got here, Lan." Syle said.

... The trio continued to speak with each other.
