“...Icy?” Mash woke up, shaking their friend awake. “Icy- Icy I think the cats messed with the bloxxy teleporter.”

“Whuh...?” Icy woke up and looked around. “...yeah.”

“Yeah- hey you two!! Get back here-!” Mashed yelled and ran after Ecanem (black kitty) and Snoey (white kitty), followed by Icy.

In turn, that just led them to two other cats after who knows how much walking - a pink one and a blue one. They seemed to get along with theirs just fine.

“Is anybody here besides the cats?”

“Hopefully... hello?? Hello??! Is anybody here-??!”

{Classic was the first to arrive, leaning out of the door to their room and looking down at the cats and then back at the two.} {their face barely shifted to look of tired surprise, maybe they’d just woken up? Either way, they didn’t seem too put off. After a beat of thinking, a bit of exploit code arched up above their head, almost like a chatbox.}

[are you the two who keep sending me cats?]

{they motioned back towards the pink and blue cats, and almost seemed ready to “say” something else, before sudden footsteps down the hall had them frantically hiding their little burst of exploit} {Builder rounded the corner just in time to not see it, uncharacteristically excited.}

-somebody say Bloxy? I-

{he screeched to a halt at the sign of two new arrives, face steeling, and he crept forward much more cautious}

I, ah, sorry- y’two alright? New folks usually spawn in with Lua, I didn’t expect to see ya here. Y’arent hurt, are you?

{seems he was more worried about the new “survivors” than whatever situation was brewing with the cats- what a nice guy :)}

{Classic was making a face at him, one he didn’t seem to pick up on.}

[icyid3ntity]

(I think I'll contineu in rbs ig... maybr uhr yea)

“Nope and neither,” Icy began, picking up Ecanem. “completely fine. Besides, It wouldn't be like that bad if we had gotten hurt. I think.”

Mashed briefly rumaged through their bag before pulling out a small handful of green orbs, though soon dumping them back in there. “And here I was ready to announce I'd forgotten these.”

“Hah- anyhow, uhh... ... ...hold on, who even are you people? Where are we-?”

“There are nicer ways to go about asking that, y'know...” “Shut up, they probably get what I mean anyways.”

Snoey went to sit by Mash, who briefly glanced at the cat before putting him on their head.

[fallencrossroads]

{Builder’s look morphed to that of raw confusion, between the odd activities the two were up to and the strangely dismissive way they spoke} {at least he could answer their questions!}

I… im Builderman, one of the admins of Roblox. Y’dont recognize me?

{Almost everyone seemed to know him right away, and half seemed to have a bone to pick with him too. It was a little odd to not have somebody act like that.}

that’s, uh, Guest. Should probably mention that too.

{He nudged classic, who gave a half-hearted wave.}

and, uhm… this is the safehaven. Some beta tester ~experience~ that’s survived John’s attempts to destroy everything.

…sorry. Studio’s better at this sorta stuff. I could still try to show ya around? Yer in a cave right now, we cared out rooms here, so it’s probably not the best intro locale.

{Guest squinted and looked between Builder and the two. Were they seriously getting roped into a tour? They obviously knew Something was up with these two, but apparently builder was just glossing over it.}

[icyid3ntity]

“Nice to meet you- also you could like... redirect us to wherever 'Studio' is...”

“I- Icy you do remember what happend the last time we wandered off on our own, yes?”

“Pfsh, so what? Besides, we got the cats.”

“What are the cats going to do.”

“...something, I dunno.”

Mashed sighed before taking a step forward. “We wouldn't mind being shown around, getting familiar with this place atleast on a surface level is probably better than walking around aimlessly...”

Ecanem wiggled out of Icy's grasp to go bat at Pro, but they just picked her back up. “Hey, no arguing you fun-sized shadow,” they said, before looking at Pro and petting her briefly. “But uh, if Mash's down for this I guess I also am.”

[fallencrossroads]

{Builder raised at who he presumed to be “Icy”, but gave a respectful nod}

Yeah, showing ya to Studio would be a good idea. It’s not far to Spawn, and we can introduce ourselves a bit better along the way. You-

{he nodded to icy,}

-are Icy, right? It’s good to meet new friendly faces. Seems Guest’s cats like y’two, so that’s a good vote of confidence.

{Despite the friendlier tone, Builder still didn’t smile. Instead, he tugged Classic along- Classic, who was trying to shuffle away actively.}

c’mon, just this way- im sure Guest’s got some sneaky way to get there faster, but we’d best stick to the usual path.

{Guest seemed incredulous. They COULDN’T be the only one seeing how weird this is, right?? They NEEDED to go run off, and they knew just who to find to sort this out. But… builder wants them to Socialize…}

{Builder started walking down the stone hall towards a cave entrance, expecting the rest to follow. He seemed confident}

[icyid3ntity]

(GSHEBQEOhqafohJSHDKQ HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS POSTED I HAD TO GO OUT QGHDEHFHQAH💔💔)

Icy casually tossed Ecanem over their shoulder and began following, along with Mash.

“Yep, Icy. And that's Mash! Her name's stupid so I just call her that.”

“...I can't really argue with that, it's true. I do wonder why there are more of those cats here though! Icy and I just kinda... found them whilst we were out urban exploring.”

“Odd little things... sometimes I look for them and they aren't there, then I turn around and look in that spot again and it's as if they appeared out of thin air...!”

“I'm starting to think those things can, like, actually camouflage or something.”

“They're just cats-”

“Special ones at that!”

“Whatever...”

[fallencrossroads]

Good to meet ya two, then. I already introduced me an’ Guest, but I’ll make sure to introduce any new folks we meet too.

{Builder walked with a hand running against the stone wall. Every once in a while, they’d pass a well constructed set of wooden beams- ones which Builder seemed to admire as they passed}

So, tell me about your travels here. Ah, where you were before this whole apocalypse, and how’d ya get here- I figure we can walk and talk a bit, get to know the new arrivals, that sort of stuff.

…and uh, maybe about yer cats, too?

{Guest walked alongside them with crossed arms, stopping only to lift Pro up. They are pretty special cats, huh? It seemed like Pro had some venom, and… they didn’t know what the others did, but assumedly something like that.}

{what place- world? Did these two travelers come from that could produce such odd creatures? Guest loved pro and cheesecake, of course, but… maybe more wanderers and cats wasn’t a Good thing. They already struggled to feed everyone as is.} {Slowly, guest drifted to the back of the group. They’d find a way to break off, but not yet.}

{The group arrived at the cave opening, but instead of light pouring down to meet them, the sky was cloaked in a swirling gray fog. Down below, in a valley cut by two rivers, some people stirred and meandered about- to their left was a set of wide stone stairs carved into the side of this hill, which Builder seemed keen to take. Presumably, Spawn was at the top.}

Sorry for the walk. Hopefully it’s not too taxing.

[icyid3ntity]

“...” Icy didn't seem to be paying too much attention, looking at the clouded sky.

“Ah, it's fine! Besides, we're used to walking much longer distances. Right Icy?” Mash asked, nudging their friend to snap them back to reality.

“...Yeah- the place where we found Ecanem and Snoey is, like, a two day trip from where we were staying. On foot, atleast.”

“Yeah! Outside the travels on foot if they'd be too bad or we couldn't even get there we use a thing Icy made that they dubbed the bloxxy teleporter- which we... lost. So we can't really get back home at the moment...”

“We weren't even supposed to go here!!” Icy complained. “The cats messed with it.”

“Yeah. I- I really hope we can get back soon, we have... a LOT of things to take care of.”

Despite the fact they were trying to stay nonchalant, Mash was clearly on edge regarding whatever they had to take care of back home.

Icy sighed. “Yeah.”

[fallencrossroads]

{Builder nodded. It seemed like a bit of a non-answer to him, but at least he got something of an idea- a teleporter would help survive, wouldn’t it? And moving constantly, too. It was how he and Shed survived for a long time on their own, at least.}

I see. Part of another group, then? We’ll see if we can help you find your way back home- I understand not sticking ‘round here if you’ve got folks to get back to.

{He started making his way up the stairs. They were carved well, wide enough to not feel precarious despite the drop below.}

I might be able to help with making ya a new- err- “Bloxxy teleporter”… but im more about the sheetmetal side of things. If ya wanna get a real electronics expert, I’d talk to Vee. Either way, im sure Studio can get some sorta help for ya, be it locating the thing or finding somebody to help make a new one for ya.

{Builder leaned against the grassy side of the hill, about half way up the steps.}

it should be just up there, I don’t see much point in having to follow. Guest, you’ll make sure they find their way alright, won’cha?

{Guest jumped at being addressed- clearly builder had seen them slowly trailing behind. They steeled their expression and gave a hasty nod before pushing through to the front of the group.} {There goes plan A… maybe Studio could give them a way out?}

Good luck, kiddos. I’m here if ya need anything.

[icyid3ntity]

Icy took mental note of everything Builder said and nodded. “Will remember that. Thanks.”

Mashed clasped their hands and shuffled them briefly. The thought of their friends back home likely wasn't going to leave their mind now. Soon after, they grabbed Snoey and held the white cat close to their chest, anxious.

Icy nudged their best friend playfully in hopes of making them loosen up a bit, which prompted a nervous chuckle from Mash.

“...So we just keep going up the stairs?” they asked soon after.

[fallencrossroads]

{Guest just continued on up the stairs. Impatient, maybe. Builder nodded,}

Seems like yer tour guide’ll leave ya behind if you don’t.

{Indeed, Guest disappeared up the top of the hill. With only a moment of deliberation, a little blue shiny head poked over the top of the hill. Its emotion expression shifted from a shocked “:0” to a very happy “^_^”, and it made a large cartoonish wave as if to usher the two to the top. Guest poked their head over a few moments later, with a lingering suspicious expression.}

HHA A AII II!

{it seemed Studio couldn’t contain itself, shouting down to the two below with a glitchy voice.}

{apologies for slacking on this im a busy moo!}

[icyid3ntity]

“Oh- hii!” Mash waved with a smile, soon hurrying up the stairs. Icy followed suit.

“So you're, uh- what was it again...”

“Studio. How'd you forget that so quickly?” Icy questioned whilst they nudged them.

“Hey, that doesn't- whatever.”

The previous tension regarding their friends seemed to be gone.

“This is Icy! I'm Mash- oh and also this is Snoey, and that's E- Icy where's Ecanem.”

“Whuh.” “The cat.” “I could've sworn she was on my shoulder-”

“Did you seriously lose the cat?? How didn't you notice, you-”

“Do NOT judge me that little rascal is a master of crime!”

“I know but-” Mash sighed. “You better hope that she finds her way back.”

“I doubt she'll go that far anyways,” Icy shrugged.

“Your doubts better be right-”

Mash switched up to turn back to the others. “Sorry about that-!”

((it's alr!! I needed a bit of a break anyways lol

“...” Icy didn't seem to be paying too much attention, looking at the clouded sky.

“Ah, it's fine! Besides, we're used to walking much longer distances. Right Icy?” Mash asked, nudging their friend to snap them back to reality.

“...Yeah- the place where we found Ecanem and Snoey is, like, a two day trip from where we were staying. On foot, atleast.”

“Yeah! Outside the travels on foot if they'd be too bad or we couldn't even get there we use a thing Icy made that they dubbed the bloxxy teleporter- which we... lost. So we can't really get back home at the moment...”

“We weren't even supposed to go here!!” Icy complained. “The cats messed with it.”

“Yeah. I- I really hope we can get back soon, we have... a LOT of things to take care of.”

Despite the fact they were trying to stay nonchalant, Mash was clearly on edge regarding whatever they had to take care of back home.

Icy sighed. “Yeah.”

(★ hi previously mentioned character stuff. yes fun and playing is legal but my brain gaslights me)

“...Icy?” Mash woke up, shaking their friend awake. “Icy- Icy I think the cats messed with the bloxxy teleporter.”

“Whuh...?” Icy woke up and looked around. “...yeah.”

“Yeah- hey you two!! Get back here-!” Mashed yelled and ran after Ecanem (black kitty) and Snoey (white kitty), followed by Icy.

In turn, that just led them to two other cats after who knows how much walking - a pink one and a blue one. They seemed to get along with theirs just fine.

“Is anybody here besides the cats?”

“Hopefully... hello?? Hello??! Is anybody here-??!”

{Classic was the first to arrive, leaning out of the door to their room and looking down at the cats and then back at the two.} {their face barely shifted to look of tired surprise, maybe they’d just woken up? Either way, they didn’t seem too put off. After a beat of thinking, a bit of exploit code arched up above their head, almost like a chatbox.}

[are you the two who keep sending me cats?]

{they motioned back towards the pink and blue cats, and almost seemed ready to “say” something else, before sudden footsteps down the hall had them frantically hiding their little burst of exploit} {Builder rounded the corner just in time to not see it, uncharacteristically excited.}

-somebody say Bloxy? I-

{he screeched to a halt at the sign of two new arrives, face steeling, and he crept forward much more cautious}

I, ah, sorry- y’two alright? New folks usually spawn in with Lua, I didn’t expect to see ya here. Y’arent hurt, are you?

{seems he was more worried about the new “survivors” than whatever situation was brewing with the cats- what a nice guy :)}

{Classic was making a face at him, one he didn’t seem to pick up on.}

[icyid3ntity]

(I think I'll contineu in rbs ig... maybr uhr yea)

“Nope and neither,” Icy began, picking up Ecanem. “completely fine. Besides, It wouldn't be like that bad if we had gotten hurt. I think.”

Mashed briefly rumaged through their bag before pulling out a small handful of green orbs, though soon dumping them back in there. “And here I was ready to announce I'd forgotten these.”

“Hah- anyhow, uhh... ... ...hold on, who even are you people? Where are we-?”

“There are nicer ways to go about asking that, y'know...” “Shut up, they probably get what I mean anyways.”

Snoey went to sit by Mash, who briefly glanced at the cat before putting him on their head.

[fallencrossroads]

{Builder’s look morphed to that of raw confusion, between the odd activities the two were up to and the strangely dismissive way they spoke} {at least he could answer their questions!}

I… im Builderman, one of the admins of Roblox. Y’dont recognize me?

{Almost everyone seemed to know him right away, and half seemed to have a bone to pick with him too. It was a little odd to not have somebody act like that.}

that’s, uh, Guest. Should probably mention that too.

{He nudged classic, who gave a half-hearted wave.}

and, uhm… this is the safehaven. Some beta tester ~experience~ that’s survived John’s attempts to destroy everything.

…sorry. Studio’s better at this sorta stuff. I could still try to show ya around? Yer in a cave right now, we cared out rooms here, so it’s probably not the best intro locale.

{Guest squinted and looked between Builder and the two. Were they seriously getting roped into a tour? They obviously knew Something was up with these two, but apparently builder was just glossing over it.}

[icyid3ntity]

“Nice to meet you- also you could like... redirect us to wherever 'Studio' is...”

“I- Icy you do remember what happend the last time we wandered off on our own, yes?”

“Pfsh, so what? Besides, we got the cats.”

“What are the cats going to do.”

“...something, I dunno.”

Mashed sighed before taking a step forward. “We wouldn't mind being shown around, getting familiar with this place atleast on a surface level is probably better than walking around aimlessly...”

Ecanem wiggled out of Icy's grasp to go bat at Pro, but they just picked her back up. “Hey, no arguing you fun-sized shadow,” they said, before looking at Pro and petting her briefly. “But uh, if Mash's down for this I guess I also am.”

[fallencrossroads]

{Builder raised at who he presumed to be “Icy”, but gave a respectful nod}

Yeah, showing ya to Studio would be a good idea. It’s not far to Spawn, and we can introduce ourselves a bit better along the way. You-

{he nodded to icy,}

-are Icy, right? It’s good to meet new friendly faces. Seems Guest’s cats like y’two, so that’s a good vote of confidence.

{Despite the friendlier tone, Builder still didn’t smile. Instead, he tugged Classic along- Classic, who was trying to shuffle away actively.}

c’mon, just this way- im sure Guest’s got some sneaky way to get there faster, but we’d best stick to the usual path.

{Guest seemed incredulous. They COULDN’T be the only one seeing how weird this is, right?? They NEEDED to go run off, and they knew just who to find to sort this out. But… builder wants them to Socialize…}

{Builder started walking down the stone hall towards a cave entrance, expecting the rest to follow. He seemed confident}

[icyid3ntity]

(GSHEBQEOhqafohJSHDKQ HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS POSTED I HAD TO GO OUT QGHDEHFHQAH💔💔)

Icy casually tossed Ecanem over their shoulder and began following, along with Mash.

“Yep, Icy. And that's Mash! Her name's stupid so I just call her that.”

“...I can't really argue with that, it's true. I do wonder why there are more of those cats here though! Icy and I just kinda... found them whilst we were out urban exploring.”

“Odd little things... sometimes I look for them and they aren't there, then I turn around and look in that spot again and it's as if they appeared out of thin air...!”

“I'm starting to think those things can, like, actually camouflage or something.”

“They're just cats-”

“Special ones at that!”

“Whatever...”
