THE RAINBOW PURGATORY: CHAPTER 3
Chapter title: The Swag Squad, Bro!
TW/CW: Murder and gun mention.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, there was a blue cat and a pink dog staring at the sunset. "Ah...this is the life...." the blue cat said. "I agree!! Nothing could make this better!!" The pink dog replied. Suddenly, the blue cat's expression turned into a neutral one. "Or maybe...IT CAN!" In that moment, the blue cat pulled out a giant gun. "WOAH WOAH WOAH, BRO! That's not how it's supposed to go!" A masculine voice cried out. As it turns out, the blue cat and pink dog were just hand puppets. The one holding the blue cat was a red cat with a mask on her face, and the one holding the pink dog was a purple unicorn and wolf hybrid with no eyes. "BOOOO!! You suck!!" A green fox cried out. "Noah! That isn't very nice...I actually liked it!" An orange voice replied, causing Noah, the green fox, to roll their eyes. However, Noah and the orange fox weren't the only ones watching the show. There was a gray dog, a purple dog, and a brown cat with them as well. Oh, and a chicken tied up but that's not important. "Uni, I hate to say this, but Noah has a point..." The red cat said. "Well Carrie, I just wanted to do something nice for Hemera by giving her idea a chance, bro." Uni replied. Caroline sighed in annoyance. "But you know that Hemera is the most boring person in the entire room aside from Bark! No offense." Caroline finished her sentence staring at the gray dog known as Bark. "None taken." Bark replied. In that moment, the brown cat stood up as a pink aura surrounded her. "Hey now, let's calm down. No need to fight. Remember, arguments are what gets us locked up in this room anyways." The purple dog sitting next to them stood up as well. "Jay has a point, y'know...I love chaos as much as the next Anthry, but we don't need to argue..." Jay smiled at the purple dog. "Thanks, Nebs..." Jay said with a smile on their face. Caroline sighed, being affected by the aura. "You're right....I'm sorry." Uni just patted Caroline on the back. "You're fine, bro! No hard feelings!"
Suddenly, the group heard foodsteps. "Wait...oh crap, he might be coming!" Uni shouted. "SWAG SQUAD! GET IN POSITIONS!" Caroline commanded. In that moment, the group scattered to different parts of the room. In that moment, Doom entered the room. "Oh, false alarm. It was just Mx. 4 by 4s." Caroline said. Doom seemed rather nervous in this room for some reason. "Why hello, every-" Before he could continue, he saw a chicken tied up. "CHARLINE!!" She cried out rushing to her side and untying her. "A-Are you okay-?!" Charline gave them a hug to calm Skulls nerves. "I'm alright, Doomy-! Thanks for saving me though!" Charline let go of the hug and walked out of the room. Barry, who was outside the room with Cuddles, looked at her in confusion. "Who's that?" Barry asked. "That's Charline Nugget. She's....a love freak." Cuddles said with spite in his tone. "As I was saying...we have a new paitent!" Doom said. "A new paitent?!" Uni and Caroline both said. "Yup!" In that moment, Doom pulled Barry into the room. "Here he is! The star of the show! In the flesh! He's very nervous though, so be nice!" Uni flew over to Barry with awe in her eyes. "Heh, he's kinda cute!" She said. Doom sat Barry down and pat him on the head. "Now, you should probably get to know the paitents before we begin our rules and regulations! I'll be outside if you need anything, bear-bear~!" Doom said, slamming the door. Barry looked up at Uni in confusion. "Well, nice to meet ya, bro! I’m Uni! Uni S. Cornelius! I am a unicorn/wolf/bro hybrid, epic swagtastic king of ownage—The one and only daughter of the epic bro balloon man, Pop Cornelius! A proud gamer, the coolest bro you’ll ever meet, bro!" Uni put her hands on her hips as she introduced herself. "And you are?" She asked. "U-Um....I'm Barry. Barry Ill." He replied. Uni chuckled a bit at Barry's name. "Well, since you're here, might as well introduce you to the rest of the Swag Squad, bro! C'mon!" Uni motioned Barry to follow her.
The two walked over to Caroline first, who was sitting on a bean bag looking bored. "This is Caroline Coughs, bro! Or just Carrie for short! She's my partner in crime and leader of the Swag Squad, bro!" Uni said. Caroline looked over at the two and stood up. "Sup, dude! Welcome to the Swag Squad. I've seen you already met my gal Uni." Even though Caroline had a mask covering her mouth, Barry could tell she was smugly smiling. "U-Um....what is the Swag Squad even about?" Barry asked. Both Caroline's and Uni's eyes lit up. "We'd thought you'd never ask!" Caroline beamed. Both Uni and Caroline grabbed some paper with drawings on it. "The Swag Squad is a group of rebelious paitents, aka us, trying to get revenge on the lame-o staff for the crap they do to us, bro!" Uni explained. "It doesn't matter how. It can be water bucket over a door, tampering with supplies, spreading gossip, anything goes!" Caroline continued. Uni then smugly looked over at Caroline. "You can thank Carrie for coming up with such an amazing idea~" Caroline giggled at Uni's words. "I couldn't do it as well without you, dude~" She replied. Barry was...very werided out. "Ahem- Sorry about that, Bro." Uni said. "You're alright..." Barry replied. He was still somewhat curious about Caroline, so he decided to ask her some questions. "Um, that Charline girl...did you tie her up?" "DUH! She's a staff member! She's weird! With me, no one is safe. Not even the 'nice' ones." After Caroline said this, Uni whispered something in Barry's ear. "This only applies to Carrie, bro. I spare the nicer ones." Uni whispered. Barry nodded, turning back to Caroline. "What's with the mask?" In that moment, Caroline took off her mask and began coughing like mad, quicklyputting it back on. "Carrie has Coughs-A-Lot, meaning she coughs, well, alot, bro." Uni explained. Suddenly, Barry saw a book next to Caroline. "What's that?" He asked. "Oh, this?" Caroline picked up the book. "This is my book of secrets. It's where I keep ALL the secrets of the staff members so that way I can blackmail and humiliate them." She explained. Barry reached out, only to be slapped a bit. "Don't touch! Only my closest friends are allowed to see." Uni grabbed Barry by the hand. "I think that's our que for you to meet the next member, bro!" She said. But before they could contnue, Caroline whispered something to Barry. "Listen up, dude. Uni means alot to me, she's like my best friend. DO NOT MAKE HER UPSET. Keep her happy, and we're good. Got it?" Barry nodded in understanding, feeling fearful of Caroline. "Good!" Caroline said, letting Barry follow Uni.
Next, Uni and Barry walked over to a pillow fort. Two people stuck their heads out of the fort. "These two are Jay and Nebula, bro! Jay is the cat on left with the glasses and the brown furr, Nebula is the one on the right with the black eyes and the purple furr. Remember that now!" Jay and Dig walked up to Barry. "Hi there! Nice to meet you! Welcome to the club!" Jay greeted. "You seem friendly." Nebula said. Uni turned to Barry. "They're both pretty shy and don't partake in pranking much. But when they do, it's the life of the party, bro!" Uni explained. "Speaking of..." Jay said as they walked over to Barry. "You seem pretty nervous...maybe this'll help." Jay put her paws to their chest, a pink aura sourrounded them and Barry. In that moment, Barry began to calm down. His anxieties about Caroline's words melted away. "What....is this....?" Barry asked. "Oh, it's my calming aura! Nurse Shortnick gave it to me." Jay explained. "That's why we call her and Nebs the peacekeepers, bro!" Uni said. Suddenly, the aura vanished, Jay sensing that Barry had fully calmed down. "Well, me and Nebs are about to craft a glitter glue ray gun. Feel free to join us when you're done introducing yourself!" Jay said. "I'll....keep that in mind. Barry replied. Next up, Barry and Uni walked up to Hemera and Noah. Hemera was tending to her plants while Noah looked bored. "These two are the Philly siblings! Hemera and Noah!" Both siblings turned to the two. Noah jumped up and began running around Barry like a wild child. Barry yelped a bit in surprise. "Noah! Leave that man alone! He just got here..." Hemera walked over to Barry while Noah sat down. "I'm so sorry about my sibling, sir..." She said. Uni rolled her eyes. "As you can see, Noah is clearly the better sibling, bro." Barry's ears dropped, he felt bad for Hemera. Suddenly, Barry walked over to the plants. "Are you a gardener?" He asked. "Oh, yeah! It helps me relax." Hemera replied. Barry picked up one of them in awe. "Facinating..." Hemera felt like she could cry, no one complimented her flowers before. However, the happy moment was cut short when Uni dragged Barry away from the plants. Hemera sighed. "At least the new guy knows I'm just trying to keep you all safe..." she muttered to herself.
The last person in the room was Bark, who was playing Tic-Tac-Toe by...himself? "And this is Bark!" Uni said. "He...doesn't really do much. He's useful when it comes to scaring the staff though!" Bark stopped what he was doing and stared at Barry with a blank expression. "Hey." He simply said. But before Barry could ask more, Doom SLAMMED open the door. "Okay, everyone! Time to start our rules and regilations for Barry~!" He said. The group all sat down, some looking more annoyed than others. "Now, firstly! Paitents are allowed to hold hands, hug, and even cuddle! HOWEVER, stuff like punching, biting, an fighting in general are NOT allowed!" Doom explained. "Oh but you can kill innocent people?!" Caroline shouted, causing Doom to yelp. "Caroline!" Hemera said. "It's true, Mrs. Goodie Two Shoes." She replied. In that moment, Noah stood up and held their hands up in the air. "Down with the staff!" They shouted. Luckily, Jay used her aura to calm Noah down before anything bad could happen. "Thank you, Jay!" Doom said, patting them on the head. Uni whispered to Caroline. "Sick burn, bro!" "Thanks, dude!" Caroline whispered back. "Next up, the call button! Now, in your room is a button you can use to summon any staff member at any time! There's a catch though, there's a limit to how many times this button can be used." Doom explained. "That's because you're butthurt over the fact we keep using the button to prank you, bro!" Uni shouted, causing Caroline, Nebula, and Noah to giggle. Doom covered Skulls face out of emberassment. Hemera then stood up and walked over to Doom. "What she means to say is to only use the button in case of emergancy, like someone having a heart attack." She explained. Barry smiled, it was nice that at least someone in this room also felt sympathy for Doom. The spider rat uncovered their face and pulled Hemera into a hug. "Very good, Hemera~!" He said. "Honestly, I think Hemera has a point..." Barry muttered to himself. Doom then looked at the clock and noticed how late it was getting. "Well, looks like we'll have to cut this meeting short sadly...you all head back to your rooms now~!" Everyone stood up and left the room, Doom grabbing Barry by the hands.
Doom led Barry back to his room and got him comfy. "Hey, uhhh...sorry those guys were so mean to you..." Barry said. "Oh, no need to worry! I mean, sure, it makes me sad...but I can't let it get to me~!" Doom replied. Skull walked to the door and shut off the lights. "Night, Bear-Bear~!" He said before shutting the door gently. Barry thought to himself. Everyone here seemed weird, violent, or both. But for some reason, he felt like he was able to get used to this place. The green cat gently yawned as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep....
