Chapter 25: Needed Support

Pin & Coiny

Pin and Coiny try to recover.

So, that went well. Pin was thinking to herself about what to do. She had explained a few minutes ago what happened with Cake, who had changed due to Evil Leafy. He hadn't spoken since, because of what seemed to be guilt. Maybe it was her fault, after all, since she did take Coiny away from him. It was for the best though, since he was acting like her. Cake was twitching and started looking weirdly at the two of them. She knew something wasn't right, but Coiny was still trying to get to him. Evil Leafy also gave an evil grin and said that if Coiny stayed, he'll become like Cake. It didn't make sense when she said it, but Pin soon knew what she meant. Stop reminiscing! She stood up and walked to Coiny. He didn't look up, but she knew that he was aware of her. When she was towering over him, he shifted himself closer to the wall. She didn't say anything, just stared at him. After a few minutes, Coiny looked up at her. She was surprised at his face, which had a tired but awaiting look. This was also a face that Pin knew meant that he would help her with tasks. She just sat beside him though, because she was also tired. Coiny gave a questioning gaze but turned to face the opposite wall. They stayed like that for a little while, until Pin spoke up.

"We need to form an alliance."

Coiny didn't really make any movements, but he started thinking at her idea. She must mean with a different team, but that's risky. After all, it could go wrong if we approached them saying we want an alliance. How many people were even left even? As if the object gods heard him, 4 announced,

"HELLO CONTESTANTS! I'm sure you're just waiting for all of this to be over, but it's only halfway there! That's right, half of you guys are out of the competition already! I will say a list of them, the eliminated contestants are..."

Coiny didn't listen to it, but Pin did. He might have given up on this, but she didn't! She made a mental note of how many contestants each team still had. Sure enough, they were one of the lower teams, but not the lowest. BEEP only had 1 member, and Iance also had 2! Maybe we're not going to lose this after all...

Evil Manor

Pillow investigates around the building. 

*Pop*

"Somebody got infected!"

Pillow jumped off her bed and rushed out of her room. When she had arrived here, she was definitely confused. However, she happened to bump into Bracelety, who explained everything. Now, she wanted to observe the process of getting infected more. It seemed like everybody was teleported into the mind space, but either tried to fight or run away. Pillow herself didn't do any of these choices, and rather asked questions. Now though, she asked everybody questions. First, she asked Bracelety, since she was the closest one. Next, she asked Leafy. This made sense, since everything seemed to have started from her. Unlike Bracelety though, Leafy didn't answer any questions, just asked her to leave the room. This disappointed Pillow, but she decided to ask Lightning next, since he seems to be the only out of all of them that actually tries to escape. Everyone else just lays around, waiting. Lightning gave her promising answers. According to him, there seemed to be no exit, as they would always be teleported back here. Whenever somebody new came, an empty room would suddenly be designed in a way to suit the object. Like Bracelety's room, which had empty canvases to write her motivational messages for Ice Cube. Or her own room, which had many closets and notebooks used for multiple experiments and her curiosity. She had just opened her door when she was greeted by a familiar face. 

"Oh Pillow! You're here too?"

She was relieved. Good, somebody on her team! When she woke up and realized Pillow's disappearance, she went outside to look for her. Unfortunately, Gelatin managed to get and infect her. 

"Hey Remote! How have you been? May I ask you a few questions?"

"Oh, uh, sure?"
