Fracture

[coghosthost]

Wow... okay. So this is where i am now. [they look up. they've made a giant fall] I can't get back up. i can't fly yet. Well lets take a look around [they seem oddly calm]

[froggycohost]

hearing the co-hosts approach, blueprint turns around. xir eyes widen upon noticing some of these are.. not objects! that means..

hii..? do you guysss.. need anything?

[anti-science-cohost]

Hi!!! We need to resolve some issues our friend has!! I’m Anti Science, though I should look for a better object name in case of scenarios where i would need one, like now!! : D

[froggycohost]

..anti-science.. alright! o-of course.

blueprint glances around nervously before sighing. xe is not getting out of this.

..hey!! i actually um. have something specific to ask? would that be okay?

YES. yes of course!!

i've been having.. dreams.. about something being under the power plant. would you.. be able to show us how to get there?

...whaaaat.. that's not a thing we don't have anything under the power plant there isn't anythingdownthere!! haha!!

froggy looks at the others. she's not quite sure how to convince this guy.

[anti-science-cohost]

Okay but what if you show us or else I’ll get like reaaallly annoying. Like super annoying. I’ll call you a loser from loserville, you loser.

[froggycohost]

xe tears up. just a little.

AS that- that's just mean!!

no, no.. it's okay.. i'm sure you guys w-wouldn't mess with anything..

blueprint sniffles before the blueprint of.. something slowly appears on xem. xe points to two places on it.

t-there's a door to the lab under the- the power plant in a building next to the nearest cooling tower. most of the o-objects working there don't um.. really like working here so you could probably convince them to. to get in? after that there's just a sterilization chamber and y-you're inside the lab. i-i'm sorry if that wasn't what you wanted..

thank you so much, that's more than enough, blueprint!!

froggy seems very excited.

guys this is what i've been having nightmares about!! it's real!!

[anti-science-cohost]

Wait that worked????

Okay!! That’s great froggy!! We can find the place!!

Also I’m so sorry blueprint i didn’t think you would cry im sorry : (

[froggycohost]

it's okay..

froggy shoots blueprint a comforting smile before urging #13 to head to the building xe mentioned. it's mostly made of bricks, though peculiar vines crawl around it, almost as if trying to suffocate the building.

a camera at the door of the building slowly turns to them. a voice is heard through a rusty speaker underneath it.

REASON FOR- holy shit it's them-

the voice cuts itself off. every now and then you can hear whispers and clanking noises.

umm.. what should we do?? i'm not sure if they're gonna let us in..

[anti-science-cohost]

Well the clanking noise was probably a good sign!!! Maybe!! Idk what else to do other then wait or bang on the door tho so

[froggycohost]

y'think so? alright..

froggy hesitantly bends over to knock on the door a few times. there's a long pause of complete quiet. then the door slides open.

AHEM. co-hosts, right? welcomeee!

the object addressing the co-hosts seems to be a fidget toy of some sort. looking around, there are about 6 objects, all looking at the group with varying expressions. surprised, excited and scared, mostly.

w-we can't believe you all actually came here! haha! um. do whatever, just avoid the camera's if possible. redwood tends to check in on how work is going every once in a while!

[anti-science-cohost]

You seem very!! Willing to let us in!! What’s the catch :?

*they glance over to froggy and the other objects, trying to gauge reactions*

[froggycohost]

..we've simply heard a lot about you co-hosts. besides we are.. not allowed to do much here. i think most of us are growing tired of just sitting around.

a plastic ruler had spoken up. it seemed older than the others. they all nodded solemnly in response.

i suppose the 'catch' would be that we would be keeping an eye on you all while you look around. though, due to lack of internet connection here, you've all provided quite a bit of entertainment already.

..we apologize for spying on your personal lives.

froggy is a bit spooked.

[anti-science-cohost]

Oh!! Okay!! I mean hey nothin’ new to me. You’re just like the fbi!!

Anyway so we’re free to explore so long as we avoid cameras I’ll answer any questions and. Froggy are you okay??

[cohostthirteen]

…

[Their braid wraps around Froggy protectively.]

[froggycohost]

froggy's hands hold onto the braid, thankful.

sorry! yeah- u-um. i just didn't expect that!! anyways- can we go down.. stairs??

..you know about that?

the objects all seem to tense up slightly.

well uhhh.. sure! just give me a second, haha.

she presses some numbers on a keypad next to a door. nothing happens. he grunts and slams his fist on the keypad a few times and with a horrid creaking sound, it opens. a very musty lift presents itself.

this will take you to the lab! again, try to avoid camera's. or don't, so we can see you guys. haha! just kidding. ahem. also please don't open anything that doesn't look like it should be opened! thanks.

[anti-science-cohost]

Everything looks like it should be opened.

Anyway!! Let’s gooo!!!

*they smiled, walking into the elevator*

[froggycohost]

what-

the elevator door closes. during the way down there are about 3 instances where you could've sworn it was about to completely break down, but it manages.

the lab is definitely not that clean or well taken care of. the 'sterilization chamber' that blueprint talked about seems to be open and upon walking through it nothing happens. once everyone gets to the main area, froggy suddenly gets off of #13's shoulders and runs over to a door labeled 'CONTAINMENT AND STORAGE'. they try to open it but the door is locked. there's another keypad. no-one but them seems to be around.

it- it's here!! they're here!! guys there are- there's creatures like me here i can literally feel it!! can someone PLEASE open the door??

[anti-science-cohost]

I mean the guy before just kinda punched it before can’t be just

*they punched the keypad a couple times, looking between froggy and the door*

[froggycohost]

the keypad is now slightly indented. the door still does not open.

ah jeez-- a-any other ideas?

[cohostthirteen]

…Should I kick it open.

[anti-science-cohost]

I mean like it’s the only other choice

[cohostthirteen]

Okay stand back then.

[cohostthirteen]

[They take a quick step forward and slam their foot into the door.]

[It flies off with a bang.]

[anti-science-cohost]

Haha hope this won’t have consequences:3

[cohostthirteen]

We’ll fix it on the way out.

[froggycohost]

on the other side are two more doors opposite from each other. the one on the left is labeled 'STORAGE' and the one on the right 'CONTAINMENT'. froggy walks over to the one labeled containment. its expression has shifted to something more determined and serious.

t-this one. i think they know i'm here as well..

...#13 can you do the door thing agai-

the door literally just falls backwards. there's a faint yelp and the sound of metal hitting metal.

[anti-science-cohost]

DAMN this place is not maintained well. It’s probably horribly illegal!! Yay!!

Anyway!! Your lead, froggy.

[froggycohost]

right!!

froggy quickly walks over to one of the three chambers who's walls are made of some kind of glass. she peers inside.

..that's one of them!!

the creature stays so incredibly still, it's hard to tell if it's a statue or not. there's a small white sign on the glass reading: PROTOTYPE-1 - 'BREAK'

in a chamber next to it, a loud THUMP is heard once. a few seconds after, it sounds like something is banging on the glass.

[anti-science-cohost]

Huh!!! That looks-?

This is like your family, right?

[froggycohost]

hmm well- i consider you guys family? maybe if i get to know them more!! i do feel a connection!!

..it's kind of.. sad.. are they stuck down here?

break slowly cranes its neck towards the group as the banging gets louder.

um- we should check the other one out-- i think-

[anti-science-cohost]

Not like a found family, I mean a blood family. Like, these are your ‘relatives’ in a sense.

*they take a bit of a step back, nodding in agreement*

[froggycohost]

oh i forgot that was a thing!! i suppose so then, yeah!!

froggy's generally cheerful expression turns to worry rather quickly, now realizing the other creature has been banging on the glass with a desperate look on its face.

oh jeez um- what's wrong!?!

similar to break, there's a small sign reading: PROTOTYPE-2 - 'SHIFT'. the pattern on its body almost hypnotically moves around. though, it looks extremely desperate.

pleaaase let us out.. me and the other prototype have been in here for so so long!! t-they do horrible tests on us!! they even call dash 1 'break' to bully it 'cause it's fragile!!

further back in the chamber there is an indescribable lump of.. something! froggy looks over to AS and #13.

oh poor guy.. i'm sure we can help!! right?? they both have doors..

[anti-science-cohost]

They said we weren’t supposed to open anything-!! But also fuck that lol

We don’t know the passcodes to anything, but the doors are hypothetically breakable right? I-I’m. You can call me yellow, okay?

[cohostthirteen]

Should I break the doors then.

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah probably :3

[cohostthirteen]

Okay then.

[They pause. Then instead of kicking the doors open, they get a grip on the doors by pushing their fingers into it.]

[Then they rip the doors off and toss them to the side.]

…didn’t want to scare them.

[froggycohost]

thank you 13!!

shift's pattern starts to move faster, seemingly quite excited. upon leaving the chamber, it marvels at the buzzing lights and tile floor.

this is great already!! i can't wait to be outside!! okay i just- one second i gotta tell dash 1 we have to leave!!

the creature runs over to break's chamber and just. stares at break for a while. it stares (?) back. shift stomps on the ground with its front paw. then, it slowly gets up with an ominous creaking noise before walking out of the door. everyone heads back to the lift.

an elevator.. i heard some of the scientists talk about it.. um.. i'll go in with dash 1 first okay?

are you sure-

shift steps in with break. froggy's a bit nervous about how the objects above will react to them escaping! some faint yelling can be heard above before it goes quiet.

[cohostthirteen]

Well. That happened.

[froggycohost]

..y-yep!! let's um- we should probably go back as well!!

the elevator goes up and the door slowly opens with a ding. almost every single object is gone. break and shift are no-where to be seen. the front door is knocked off of its hinges. ..there is a plastic bag object slumped over near the door, clutching their stomach area, unconscious.

...huh? what- i- what???

[coghosthost]

[fracture kinda looks sad] wanted too look around a bit more. this place is very cool. [they are still in awe of the place]

[froggycohost]

they- i-i'm so confused why-

some of the screens in the room have been smashed. though, you can see something crawling under the fence and skittering out into the forest on one of them.

jeez i hope the others got out safely--

..oh man this is c-completely my fault.

froggy sits on the floor, holding their head in their hands.

[coghosthost]

[they sit next to froggy] hey. it's not your fault. maybe that blue thing was disguising as a cuter version of itself or something. [they hug froggy]

[froggycohost]

hearing the co-hosts approach, blueprint turns around. xir eyes widen upon noticing some of these are.. not objects! that means..

hii..? do you guysss.. need anything?

..we apologize for spying on your personal lives.

Okay but what if you show us or else I’ll get like reaaallly annoying. Like super annoying. I’ll call you a loser from loserville, you loser.

[coghosthost]

i can try to negotiate. but it might involve a spear...

[froggycohost]

froggy begins its trek towards the power plant. mutated plants sprout here and there. they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

it'll be a little while before we actually get there.. feel free to ask me anything!! <:]

[curiouscohost]

Hi froggy !!!!! Where are you going I have no clue

[froggycohost]

..right!! i should. probably let you guys know <:] i'm heading to the power plant. t-the chloroplast power plant!! it's what gave me um.. it's what's given me my sentience, i think!!

[curiouscohost]

Oh wow!!!!! Hm! Interesting!! Can I ask why maybe if you’re ok with that?

: )

[froggycohost]

i've been really avoiding it but um- r-remember when i told you i saw that image of something while i was talking to you? ..i've been getting hallucinations and a lot of nightmares!! about that place!! and i'm kind of hoping that going there will.. s-stop that. <:D

more warning signs begin to pop up. they vary from 'PRIVATE PROPERTY DO NOT ENTER' to more.. threatening messages. the ground gets a bit harder to traverse.

[curiouscohost]

Oh man, that always sucks : ( I hope your right!!! You don’t deserve any nightmares!!!!!!!!!

..weird signs!!!

[froggycohost]

she tries to give curious a comforting smile.

..yeah!! i've seen them before but i think they're just bluffing <:] no worries!! ..i will um.. walk in front though!!

froggy speeds up slightly, staying in front of the co-hosts that are going with them.

[coghosthost]

[fracture gets the feeling that something is off. but they think it's just the radiation effects]

[anti-science-cohost]

…this seems kinda dangerous, are you sure :(

[froggycohost]

froggy notices the other get a little worried, and start to walk in front.

if anything happens you guys can just leave no worri-

a loud bang rings through the air. almost immediately after, two objects emerge from the bushes: a flower bud and a bullet. The bullet carefully scans them all before speaking up, sounding rather stern.

Have you all not read the signs? Leave Chloroplast premises immediately.

[cohostthirteen]

Woah hello. Who are these guys.

[anti-science-cohost]

Hi!!! We’re people that should be here, we were hired by Dragon! : D

[froggycohost]

Hm. How weird, I don't fucking believe you. Look, you bunch are not supposed to be here, so just leave and we will not have to call in.. more forces. Yeah?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah!! Well!! Dragon deez nUTS!!!

[cohostthirteen]

ANTI.

[froggycohost]

..this will not get you anywhere. gosh, i can't believe this is what we were afraid of.

the flower bud stares at everyone, grip on the gun tightening slightly.

..guys

[coghosthost]

[fracture flies behind 13. they are very much shaken up] i'm just gonna stay back here...

[cohostthirteen]

[They put their arm out and shield the others.]

…Wait did they just say they were afraid of us.

[froggycohost]

froggy is holding a hand up to their face.

pshh, not us. the others at the plant. especially you, big guy!

the flower bud seems to chuckle.

[anti-science-cohost]

*AS looks back nervously at froggy, making sure they’re okay*

You guys kinda suck ngl >:{{

[froggycohost]

our apologies. it gets.. a bit boring out here. and we didn't expect you all to ever actually APPROACH the plant. we probably should've been observing the frog more closely.

so it was you guys who i saw trip on some branches a month ago!!

..no. ahem. listen. we are simply just doing our jobs, alright? unless you people are going to come up with a good reason to get in.. THIS.. is not happening.

[coghosthost]

Froggy wants to get inside. but i guess you guys already guessed that. and we are accompanying them

[froggycohost]

..letting the frog inside, huh? hmm.

the bullet turns to the flower bud, seemingly having a silent conversation with each other. eventually the bullet nods and looks back over to the co-hosts.

alright. but we need to know what exactly you plan on doing there.

..r-right! well um- since it's kind of what made me, i just wanted to explore!! y'know!!

froggy is really pressing down on one side of their face.

[cohostthirteen]

Froggy. Is something wrong. Are you hurt.

[froggycohost]

..well it doesn't really matter, just a bit harder to see!!

froggy fully turns to the other co-hosts, removing the hand from their face. their right eye is pretty much completely gone.

[coghosthost]

OMG!! Are you okay froggy?! [they are very concerned about them]

[cohostthirteen]

FROGGY.

[They lean down. They are so worried.]

[anti-science-cohost]

FROGGY?? Can you grow that back??

*theyre so freaked out*

[froggycohost]

i-i can't but- i'm fine though i- i didn't- the whole making a deal was going well so didn't wanna interrupt!!

the flower bud seems kind of surprised that the bullet hit, standing a bit prouder.

[cohostthirteen]

…

[coghosthost]

[they look at 13] please don't. i am begging you.

[anti-science-cohost]

We do need them to show us where the factory is, 13. But still froggy do you need anything to help heal that??

[froggycohost]

don't do what? what are you planning?

the bullet inches towards the flower bud, and the flower bud grips the gun even tighter. she flips a switch on it, eye-ing everyone closely.

we have seen what you all are capable of. we- we will call for backup if you dare try anything!

the bullet seems to be getting increasingly nervous.

[anti-science-cohost]

I will write a fanfiction about you two istg. Shut up we need to make sure froggy is okay.

[froggycohost]

jeez- the frog will be fine! it's survived worse with you all from what we noticed, anyway.

both of them seem to be looking at the more inherently dangerous co-hosts the most. the flower bud subtly begins to aim the gun outwards.

i-i'm fine guys. can we just? talk about this? please?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah but they can’t REGENERATE >:((

*they sigh and stand near froggy, looking at them with concern*

[cohostthirteen]

Woah there. Put the gun back down. Don’t do anything you might regret.

[froggycohost]

the flower bud shakes their head, before breaking into a heavy cough. the bullets face softens as she holds their hand until the coughing is over.

okok um!! how about you just lead us there? we won't do anything bad i swear!! i- we just wanna look around!!

..alright, fine. yeah. we'll lead the way from here. come on bud you'll be okay.

it whispers that last part to the flower bud, picking them back up and then motioning to the co-hosts to follow. froggy sighs in relief.

[coghosthost]

alright! now we've gotten that out of the way! lets go! [they seem a lot happier]

[anti-science-cohost]

*anti science follows, still wary of the two*

…are they okay??

[cohostthirteen]

…

[They keep carrying Froggy without saying anything.]

[froggycohost]

the bullets face scrunches up upon hearing AS's question.

..this place is full of safety hazards. 'boss hasn't bothered to make it any better. got in a conflict with the big guy so bud would be safer but all leaf's given are these masks, which she can't even fucking wear!

it's aggressively gesturing into the air.

[anti-science-cohost]

You seem a bit upset!! This seems like a real hazard for a variety of reasons :3

[cohostthirteen]

Are you and fracture going to be okay.

[coghosthost]

Do you mean by the radiation? Cause i will be fine! if i stay for too long, The worst it can do is make me sneeze a lot. or cough a lot.

[froggycohost]

yeah that's kind of why i didn't want anyone to come with but.. um. how long have you guys been working here?

we've both been working here for about 4 years now.

..yeah so- i think you guys would be fine for a while!!

[anti-science-cohost]

I mean, I went to the pond once and I was fine!! I think.

But I was there for 15 minutes not 4 years D :

[froggycohost]

mhm, i think a few hours wouldn't be too bad!! though- hold on i brought something with me 'cause i was curious--

froggy pulls out a geiger counter. it is.. broken.

..it was not. um..

we're almost there. i'd give you guys some masks for protection but i'm pretty sure they act more like decoration anyway.

at this point a lot of the plants are.. pretty fucked up looking. the imposing cooling towers come closer and closer. it's like they're TRYING to intimidate you.

[coghosthost]

Wow... [fracture is in awe at the giant structures] this looks so cool..

[cohostthirteen]

…

[froggycohost]

..i feel like i know this.. what's the word?? um..

déjà vu? that makes sense. we're here.

they arrive at a large fence, no gates in sight. the fence is weathered and is breaking away as they speak. any plant that hasn't died because of the winter looks mutated in at least some way. the bullet turns to the co-hosts.

..we have to go back to 'scouting'. blueprint's usually pretty close to the outskirts of the power plant so you should be able to find xem pretty easily. be... gentle with 'em, alright? and uh- just make a gap in the fence, it bends very easily.

alright, thank you two so much!!

they both nod before walking off, holding hands.

[coghosthost]

hmm. i could try this. [fracture summons their spear and makes a cut in the fence] and now. [they push the hole open] we have an entrance!

[anti-science-cohost]

Yippee!!!

*they walk in first, humming some random tune*

[froggycohost]

thanks fracture!!!

from oddly vibrant plants there's a harsh change to very dry dirt. rather quickly you notice a blue object a bit further away. it seems to be pacing around in circles.

[anti-science-cohost]

Oh!!!! That’s probably the blueprint fellow :3

[coghosthost]

Maybe that is them? [they are intrigued]

[froggycohost]

froggy begins its trek towards the power plant. mutated plants sprout here and there. they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

it'll be a little while before we actually get there.. feel free to ask me anything!! <:]

[curiouscohost]

Hi froggy !!!!! Where are you going I have no clue

[froggycohost]

..right!! i should. probably let you guys know <:] i'm heading to the power plant. t-the chloroplast power plant!! it's what gave me um.. it's what's given me my sentience, i think!!

[curiouscohost]

Oh wow!!!!! Hm! Interesting!! Can I ask why maybe if you’re ok with that?

: )

[froggycohost]

i've been really avoiding it but um- r-remember when i told you i saw that image of something while i was talking to you? ..i've been getting hallucinations and a lot of nightmares!! about that place!! and i'm kind of hoping that going there will.. s-stop that. <:D

more warning signs begin to pop up. they vary from 'PRIVATE PROPERTY DO NOT ENTER' to more.. threatening messages. the ground gets a bit harder to traverse.

[curiouscohost]

Oh man, that always sucks : ( I hope your right!!! You don’t deserve any nightmares!!!!!!!!!

..weird signs!!!

[froggycohost]

she tries to give curious a comforting smile.

..yeah!! i've seen them before but i think they're just bluffing <:] no worries!! ..i will um.. walk in front though!!

froggy speeds up slightly, staying in front of the co-hosts that are going with them.

[coghosthost]

[fracture gets the feeling that something is off. but they think it's just the radiation effects]

[anti-science-cohost]

…this seems kinda dangerous, are you sure :(

[froggycohost]

froggy notices the other get a little worried, and start to walk in front.

if anything happens you guys can just leave no worri-

a loud bang rings through the air. almost immediately after, two objects emerge from the bushes: a flower bud and a bullet. The bullet carefully scans them all before speaking up, sounding rather stern.

Have you all not read the signs? Leave Chloroplast premises immediately.

[cohostthirteen]

Woah hello. Who are these guys.

[anti-science-cohost]

Hi!!! We’re people that should be here, we were hired by Dragon! : D

[froggycohost]

Hm. How weird, I don't fucking believe you. Look, you bunch are not supposed to be here, so just leave and we will not have to call in.. more forces. Yeah?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah!! Well!! Dragon deez nUTS!!!

[cohostthirteen]

ANTI.

[froggycohost]

..this will not get you anywhere. gosh, i can't believe this is what we were afraid of.

the flower bud stares at everyone, grip on the gun tightening slightly.

..guys

[coghosthost]

[fracture flies behind 13. they are very much shaken up] i'm just gonna stay back here...

[cohostthirteen]

[They put their arm out and shield the others.]

…Wait did they just say they were afraid of us.

[froggycohost]

froggy is holding a hand up to their face.

pshh, not us. the others at the plant. especially you, big guy!

the flower bud seems to chuckle.

[anti-science-cohost]

*AS looks back nervously at froggy, making sure they’re okay*

You guys kinda suck ngl >:{{

[froggycohost]

our apologies. it gets.. a bit boring out here. and we didn't expect you all to ever actually APPROACH the plant. we probably should've been observing the frog more closely.

so it was you guys who i saw trip on some branches a month ago!!

..no. ahem. listen. we are simply just doing our jobs, alright? unless you people are going to come up with a good reason to get in.. THIS.. is not happening.

[coghosthost]

Froggy wants to get inside. but i guess you guys already guessed that. and we are accompanying them

[froggycohost]

..letting the frog inside, huh? hmm.

the bullet turns to the flower bud, seemingly having a silent conversation with each other. eventually the bullet nods and looks back over to the co-hosts.

alright. but we need to know what exactly you plan on doing there.

..r-right! well um- since it's kind of what made me, i just wanted to explore!! y'know!!

froggy is really pressing down on one side of their face.

[cohostthirteen]

Froggy. Is something wrong. Are you hurt.

[froggycohost]

..well it doesn't really matter, just a bit harder to see!!

froggy fully turns to the other co-hosts, removing the hand from their face. their right eye is pretty much completely gone.

[coghosthost]

OMG!! Are you okay froggy?! [they are very concerned about them]

[cohostthirteen]

FROGGY.

[They lean down. They are so worried.]

[anti-science-cohost]

FROGGY?? Can you grow that back??

*theyre so freaked out*

[froggycohost]

i-i can't but- i'm fine though i- i didn't- the whole making a deal was going well so didn't wanna interrupt!!

the flower bud seems kind of surprised that the bullet hit, standing a bit prouder.

[cohostthirteen]

…

[coghosthost]

[they look at 13] please don't. i am begging you.

[anti-science-cohost]

We do need them to show us where the factory is, 13. But still froggy do you need anything to help heal that??

[froggycohost]

don't do what? what are you planning?

the bullet inches towards the flower bud, and the flower bud grips the gun even tighter. she flips a switch on it, eye-ing everyone closely.

we have seen what you all are capable of. we- we will call for backup if you dare try anything!

the bullet seems to be getting increasingly nervous.

[anti-science-cohost]

I will write a fanfiction about you two istg. Shut up we need to make sure froggy is okay.

[froggycohost]

jeez- the frog will be fine! it's survived worse with you all from what we noticed, anyway.

okok um!! how about you just lead us there? we won't do anything bad i swear!! i- we just wanna look around!!

..alright, fine. yeah. we'll lead the way from here. come on bud you'll be okay.

it whispers that last part to the flower bud, picking them back up and then motioning to the co-hosts to follow. froggy sighs in relief.

[coghosthost]

alright! now we've gotten that out of the way! lets go! [they seem a lot happier]

[anti-science-cohost]

*anti science follows, still wary of the two*

…are they okay??

[cohostthirteen]

…

[They keep carrying Froggy without saying anything.]

[froggycohost]

the bullets face scrunches up upon hearing AS's question.

..this place is full of safety hazards. 'boss hasn't bothered to make it any better. got in a conflict with the big guy so bud would be safer but all leaf's given are these masks, which she can't even fucking wear!

it's aggressively gesturing into the air.

[anti-science-cohost]

You seem a bit upset!! This seems like a real hazard for a variety of reasons :3

[cohostthirteen]

Are you and fracture going to be okay.

[coghosthost]

Do you mean by the radiation? Cause i will be fine! if i stay for too long, The worst it can do is make me sneeze a lot. or cough a lot.

[froggycohost]

yeah that's kind of why i didn't want anyone to come with but.. um. how long have you guys been working here?

we've both been working here for about 4 years now.

..yeah so- i think you guys would be fine for a while!!

[anti-science-cohost]

I mean, I went to the pond once and I was fine!! I think.

But I was there for 15 minutes not 4 years D :

[froggycohost]

mhm, i think a few hours wouldn't be too bad!! though- hold on i brought something with me 'cause i was curious--

froggy pulls out a geiger counter. it is.. broken.

..it was not. um..

we're almost there. i'd give you guys some masks for protection but i'm pretty sure they act more like decoration anyway.

at this point a lot of the plants are.. pretty fucked up looking. the imposing cooling towers come closer and closer. it's like they're TRYING to intimidate you.

[coghosthost]

Wow... [fracture is in awe at the giant structures] this looks so cool..

[froggycohost]

froggy begins its trek towards the power plant. mutated plants sprout here and there. they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

it'll be a little while before we actually get there.. feel free to ask me anything!! <:]

[curiouscohost]

Hi froggy !!!!! Where are you going I have no clue

[froggycohost]

..right!! i should. probably let you guys know <:] i'm heading to the power plant. t-the chloroplast power plant!! it's what gave me um.. it's what's given me my sentience, i think!!

[curiouscohost]

Oh wow!!!!! Hm! Interesting!! Can I ask why maybe if you’re ok with that?

: )

[froggycohost]

i've been really avoiding it but um- r-remember when i told you i saw that image of something while i was talking to you? ..i've been getting hallucinations and a lot of nightmares!! about that place!! and i'm kind of hoping that going there will.. s-stop that. <:D

more warning signs begin to pop up. they vary from 'PRIVATE PROPERTY DO NOT ENTER' to more.. threatening messages. the ground gets a bit harder to traverse.

[curiouscohost]

Oh man, that always sucks : ( I hope your right!!! You don’t deserve any nightmares!!!!!!!!!

..weird signs!!!

[froggycohost]

she tries to give curious a comforting smile.

..yeah!! i've seen them before but i think they're just bluffing <:] no worries!! ..i will um.. walk in front though!!

froggy speeds up slightly, staying in front of the co-hosts that are going with them.

[coghosthost]

[fracture gets the feeling that something is off. but they think it's just the radiation effects]

[anti-science-cohost]

…this seems kinda dangerous, are you sure :(

[froggycohost]

froggy notices the other get a little worried, and start to walk in front.

if anything happens you guys can just leave no worri-

a loud bang rings through the air. almost immediately after, two objects emerge from the bushes: a flower bud and a bullet. The bullet carefully scans them all before speaking up, sounding rather stern.

Have you all not read the signs? Leave Chloroplast premises immediately.

[cohostthirteen]

Woah hello. Who are these guys.

[anti-science-cohost]

Hi!!! We’re people that should be here, we were hired by Dragon! : D

[froggycohost]

Hm. How weird, I don't fucking believe you. Look, you bunch are not supposed to be here, so just leave and we will not have to call in.. more forces. Yeah?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah!! Well!! Dragon deez nUTS!!!

[cohostthirteen]

ANTI.

[froggycohost]

..this will not get you anywhere. gosh, i can't believe this is what we were afraid of.

the flower bud stares at everyone, grip on the gun tightening slightly.

..guys

[coghosthost]

[fracture flies behind 13. they are very much shaken up] i'm just gonna stay back here...

[cohostthirteen]

[They put their arm out and shield the others.]

…Wait did they just say they were afraid of us.

[froggycohost]

froggy is holding a hand up to their face.

pshh, not us. the others at the plant. especially you, big guy!

the flower bud seems to chuckle.

[anti-science-cohost]

*AS looks back nervously at froggy, making sure they’re okay*

You guys kinda suck ngl >:{{

[froggycohost]

our apologies. it gets.. a bit boring out here. and we didn't expect you all to ever actually APPROACH the plant. we probably should've been observing the frog more closely.

so it was you guys who i saw trip on some branches a month ago!!

..no. ahem. listen. we are simply just doing our jobs, alright? unless you people are going to come up with a good reason to get in.. THIS.. is not happening.

[coghosthost]

Froggy wants to get inside. but i guess you guys already guessed that. and we are accompanying them

[froggycohost]

..letting the frog inside, huh? hmm.

the bullet turns to the flower bud, seemingly having a silent conversation with each other. eventually the bullet nods and looks back over to the co-hosts.

alright. but we need to know what exactly you plan on doing there.

..r-right! well um- since it's kind of what made me, i just wanted to explore!! y'know!!

froggy is really pressing down on one side of their face.

[cohostthirteen]

Froggy. Is something wrong. Are you hurt.

[froggycohost]

..well it doesn't really matter, just a bit harder to see!!

froggy fully turns to the other co-hosts, removing the hand from their face. their right eye is pretty much completely gone.

[coghosthost]

OMG!! Are you okay froggy?! [they are very concerned about them]

[cohostthirteen]

FROGGY.

[They lean down. They are so worried.]

[anti-science-cohost]

FROGGY?? Can you grow that back??

*theyre so freaked out*

[froggycohost]

i-i can't but- i'm fine though i- i didn't- the whole making a deal was going well so didn't wanna interrupt!!

the flower bud seems kind of surprised that the bullet hit, standing a bit prouder.

[cohostthirteen]

…

[coghosthost]

[they look at 13] please don't. i am begging you.

[anti-science-cohost]

We do need them to show us where the factory is, 13. But still froggy do you need anything to help heal that??

[froggycohost]

don't do what? what are you planning?

the bullet inches towards the flower bud, and the flower bud grips the gun even tighter. she flips a switch on it, eye-ing everyone closely.

we have seen what you all are capable of. we- we will call for backup if you dare try anything!

the bullet seems to be getting increasingly nervous.

[anti-science-cohost]

I will write a fanfiction about you two istg. Shut up we need to make sure froggy is okay.

[froggycohost]

jeez- the frog will be fine! it's survived worse with you all from what we noticed, anyway.

both of them seem to be looking at the more inherently dangerous co-hosts the most. the flower bud subtly begins to aim the gun outwards.

i-i'm fine guys. can we just? talk about this? please?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah but they can’t REGENERATE >:((

*they sigh and stand near froggy, looking at them with concern*

[cohostthirteen]

Woah there. Put the gun back down. Don’t do anything you might regret.

[froggycohost]

the flower bud shakes their head, before breaking into a heavy cough. the bullets face softens as she holds their hand until the coughing is over.

[anti-science-cohost]

FROGGY?? Can you grow that back??

*theyre so freaked out*

[froggycohost]

i-i can't but- i'm fine though i- i didn't- the whole making a deal was going well so didn't wanna interrupt!!

the flower bud seems kind of surprised that the bullet hit, standing a bit prouder.

[cohostthirteen]

…

[coghosthost]

[they look at 13] please don't. i am begging you.

[anti-science-cohost]

We do need them to show us where the factory is, 13. But still froggy do you need anything to help heal that??

[froggycohost]

don't do what? what are you planning?

the bullet inches towards the flower bud, and the flower bud grips the gun even tighter. she flips a switch on it, eye-ing everyone closely.

we have seen what you all are capable of. we- we will call for backup if you dare try anything!

the bullet seems to be getting increasingly nervous.

[anti-science-cohost]

I will write a fanfiction about you two istg. Shut up we need to make sure froggy is okay.

[froggycohost]

jeez- the frog will be fine! it's survived worse with you all from what we noticed, anyway.

both of them seem to be looking at the more inherently dangerous co-hosts the most. the flower bud subtly begins to aim the gun outwards.

i-i'm fine guys. can we just? talk about this? please?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah but they can’t REGENERATE >:((

*they sigh and stand near froggy, looking at them with concern*

[cohostthirteen]

Woah there. Put the gun back down. Don’t do anything you might regret.

[froggycohost]

the flower bud shakes their head, before breaking into a heavy cough. the bullets face softens as she holds their hand until the coughing is over.

okok um!! how about you just lead us there? we won't do anything bad i swear!! i- we just wanna look around!!

..alright, fine. yeah. we'll lead the way from here. come on bud you'll be okay.

it whispers that last part to the flower bud, picking them back up and then motioning to the co-hosts to follow. froggy sighs in relief.

[coghosthost]

alright! now we've gotten that out of the way! lets go! [they seem a lot happier]

[froggycohost]

froggy begins its trek towards the power plant. mutated plants sprout here and there. they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

it'll be a little while before we actually get there.. feel free to ask me anything!! <:]

[curiouscohost]

Hi froggy !!!!! Where are you going I have no clue

[froggycohost]

..right!! i should. probably let you guys know <:] i'm heading to the power plant. t-the chloroplast power plant!! it's what gave me um.. it's what's given me my sentience, i think!!

[curiouscohost]

Oh wow!!!!! Hm! Interesting!! Can I ask why maybe if you’re ok with that?

: )

[froggycohost]

i've been really avoiding it but um- r-remember when i told you i saw that image of something while i was talking to you? ..i've been getting hallucinations and a lot of nightmares!! about that place!! and i'm kind of hoping that going there will.. s-stop that. <:D

more warning signs begin to pop up. they vary from 'PRIVATE PROPERTY DO NOT ENTER' to more.. threatening messages. the ground gets a bit harder to traverse.

[curiouscohost]

Oh man, that always sucks : ( I hope your right!!! You don’t deserve any nightmares!!!!!!!!!

..weird signs!!!

[froggycohost]

she tries to give curious a comforting smile.

..yeah!! i've seen them before but i think they're just bluffing <:] no worries!! ..i will um.. walk in front though!!

froggy speeds up slightly, staying in front of the co-hosts that are going with them.

[coghosthost]

[fracture gets the feeling that something is off. but they think it's just the radiation effects]

[anti-science-cohost]

…this seems kinda dangerous, are you sure :(

[froggycohost]

froggy notices the other get a little worried, and start to walk in front.

if anything happens you guys can just leave no worri-

a loud bang rings through the air. almost immediately after, two objects emerge from the bushes: a flower bud and a bullet. The bullet carefully scans them all before speaking up, sounding rather stern.

Have you all not read the signs? Leave Chloroplast premises immediately.

[cohostthirteen]

Woah hello. Who are these guys.

[anti-science-cohost]

Hi!!! We’re people that should be here, we were hired by Dragon! : D

[froggycohost]

Hm. How weird, I don't fucking believe you. Look, you bunch are not supposed to be here, so just leave and we will not have to call in.. more forces. Yeah?

[anti-science-cohost]

Yeah!! Well!! Dragon deez nUTS!!!

[cohostthirteen]

ANTI.

[froggycohost]

..this will not get you anywhere. gosh, i can't believe this is what we were afraid of.

the flower bud stares at everyone, grip on the gun tightening slightly.

..guys

[coghosthost]

[fracture flies behind 13. they are very much shaken up] i'm just gonna stay back here...

[cohostthirteen]

[They put their arm out and shield the others.]

…Wait did they just say they were afraid of us.

[froggycohost]

froggy is holding a hand up to their face.

pshh, not us. the others at the plant. especially you, big guy!

the flower bud seems to chuckle.

[anti-science-cohost]

*AS looks back nervously at froggy, making sure they’re okay*

You guys kinda suck ngl >:{{

[froggycohost]

our apologies. it gets.. a bit boring out here. and we didn't expect you all to ever actually APPROACH the plant. we probably should've been observing the frog more closely.

so it was you guys who i saw trip on some branches a month ago!!

..no. ahem. listen. we are simply just doing our jobs, alright? unless you people are going to come up with a good reason to get in.. THIS.. is not happening.

[coghosthost]

Froggy wants to get inside. but i guess you guys already guessed that. and we are accompanying them

[froggycohost]

..letting the frog inside, huh? hmm.

the bullet turns to the flower bud, seemingly having a silent conversation with each other. eventually the bullet nods and looks back over to the co-hosts.

alright. but we need to know what exactly you plan on doing there.

..r-right! well um- since it's kind of what made me, i just wanted to explore!! y'know!!

froggy is really pressing down on one side of their face.

[cohostthirteen]

Froggy. Is something wrong. Are you hurt.

[froggycohost]

..well it doesn't really matter, just a bit harder to see!!

froggy fully turns to the other co-hosts, removing the hand from their face. their right eye is pretty much completely gone.

[coghosthost]

OMG!! Are you okay froggy?! [they are very concerned about them]

[cohostthirteen]

FROGGY.

[They lean down. They are so worried.]

[anti-science-cohost]

i-i'm fine guys. can we just? talk about this? please?

[coghosthost]

i agree with froggy! I would rather talk this out! [they are resisting themselves from pulling out their spear. because froggy would not like that]

[froggycohost]

froggy begins its trek towards the power plant. mutated plants sprout here and there. they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

We don't mean any harm! I hope you didn't mean to shoot froggy. I just know that some of us are more likely to harm people if they harm someone we care about! i don't even want to fight right now..
