Bird Killer in Owl Express
It's another daily day in Deadbird Studio. Conductor yelling at his workers and passengers while constantly swearing, DJ Groove always on himself while his guard keep him secure safe.
among the crowd in studio and station, there's I.... Hat Kid, Detective Hat Kid.
part of CAW organization and Conductor main star for his film. idk what he saw in me but I just tag along because of my mission lead to this place. I got to be close with everyone in here to collect the evidence and clues for....
??? "Hello Detective! so early today, are you eager to be stars?"
uhhh, and yeah, there is one Hat Kid who doesn't understand keep away from me. she is....
Parade Hat Kid "Never thought we will meet at here by coincidence. Must be fate, isn't it?"
Detective Hat Kid "Why out of many people it has to be you?"
Parade Hat Kid " Oh don't act all surprised, you know we are the only Hat Kid that can perform stage very well"
well, she isn't lying. this planet had many Hat Kid arrived lately and for some reason only me and Parade is only one working as actor aside from me being detective. Parade had hold her position as best actor for long time despite she is working with worst film director ever. All DJ Groove film had no right to be film at all, it's wasn't a film if all he take is just fake paparazzi, parade march and yada yada. all show but not even action. The only thing good about him is that he is good boss, unlike mine who doesn't mind to put dynamite under my seat just for "plot". She lucky to have him as boss.... and I'm lucky to have mine because honestly, I would probably lost temper against Groove film taste. At least I'm as detective in noir style film make me feel myself.
Outside from movie, we have case. many reports of birds getting killed brutally with very hard cut and uneven, showing this killer has no skills at all. Killer motif is might be for revenge and hate but for it targeting many target and slowly heading to Owl Express doesn't seem right. this killer is looking for someone.
Conductor "Oi, Lass! don't yer sit rest on there hanging with yer friend. she is our rival, RIVAL! So get yer lazy ass here and GET TO WORK!"
Detective Hat Kid "First, she isn't my friend and second.... ok boss"
Parade Hat Kid "bye Detective, hope you perform well! If you have time, let's hangout at cafe like usual"
oh shut up, we only meet there by accident.
Conductor "Yer better not helping them or stab back me. if I caught you helping them, I'll make sure you suffer from it lad"
Detective Hat Kid "Then let's go continue our movie because if you lost, I have to hear all your stupid rant all day"
the recording take long enough even night come to shower day to darkness while stars filled the empty sky. Good thing that Conductor didn't decide to detonate this train tonight. For now, night is peaceful.
I'm not alone tho.... there 2 CAW agent here for sharing information. Becker and Rookie secretly play to be passager on Owl Express all day while try find hint of Bird Killer.
Becker "I can assure you that none of passager here are related to Bird Killer. In fact, they are so clueless about it"
Detective Hat Kid " Did you two explain about Bird Killer to passager you asked?"
Rookie "Yeah, I mean that's the only way to spread awareness of killer probably in here"\
Detective Hat Kid " Yes.... YOU TWO ARE IDIOTS! HAVE YOU REALIZE THAT YOU JUST TOLD RANDOM PUBLIC ABOUT CLASSIFIED CASE!"\
Rookie "Please forgive us Detective! we didn't intended to-"
suddenly blackout happened. weirdly enough, train keep moving. I guess Conductor didn't lie about him using engine steam.
Detective Hat Kid "Peck, you guys split for now, investigate really this time. you two probably let him in"
Rookie "What about you Detective?"
Detective Hat Kid "I'll go with passenger, at least all I can do is protect them before becoming it next target"
Becker "Very well then, Let's go Rookie, it's time for investigation"
I heading to cart that were told to assemble if anything happen but weirdly enough there's no one there. I try search if anyone safe but then I heard a conversation from the dark.
Conductor " Yer lost too? Erg, why people don't understand when something bad happens go to assemble cart 13!"
random owl "Oh sorry but I can't see anything in this darkness... I also lost my contact lens"
Conductor "Whatever, come here, follow me"
Now it just become more suspicious, Conductor isn't heading to Cart 13. He is leading the owl to somewhere different. But just to make sure, I follow them from behind, quietly.
they arrived in a room and lock the door. I was about to pick the lock but then I heard a muffled scream. it's obvious now, he is the-
knife pierce through door wall
Conductor "Don't yer think yer can hide from me? I see yer miles ago!"
I have no choice but run now. dodging through wall abd obstacles while lightning strike give sudden burst of bright light in this train. The Conductor was behind me, chasing like mad man. But suddenly I got bumped with another Owl that feel lost.
random owl "Oh finally, hey do you know where is- ARGH!!"
he got dragged into the shadow and killed by Conductor immediately.
I have nothing to defend myself except my fake pipe smoke that blew bubbles.
Detective Hat Kid "Enough with this, Conductor. your identity as a killer is now known by me. you better surrender by now. CAW has saw everything, I'd carry hidden camera with me all along. you just now caught red handed"
with a blink of the eyes, he grab my camera and broke it. I managed to dodge but now I have no evidence except myself
the Conductor begins to laugh. very loud and psycho.
Conductor "Yer thought yer can caught my identity? Let me show yer who am I"
he suddenly coughing.... aggressively and I hear a familiar voice how can't I recognize it, it was same like me..... it wasn't Conductor.... it's a Hat Kid.
Detective Hat Kid "Wait if this not Conductor, then where is he!?"
Bird Killer "You looking at him"
that isn't just a costume... that's Conductor skin wore very raw.
Bird Killer "Using other voices aren't really that hard to do. (change voices to DJ Groove) Darling if you thought you just caught me... (change to Snatcher) You're just a Foooooolllls..... (change to goon mafia) now, Mafia had to handle little girl for disturbing Mafia job. (back to Conductor) this Myeeduhrerrr case has to continue but yer life ends here lass"
Detective Hat Kid "like I even agree with you.... (run)"
sorry guys I don't have the ending for this story tho😥. But I'll try end it some way. and if you are still confused why there's 3 Hat Kid, this AU are Multiplayer mean many Hat Kid with different personality exists, just imagine cringe Undertale AU where Sans and Sans and Sans and Sans... many Sans but just Hat Kid.
