I just kinda.... Appear next to MeRead. I just look pretty tired.

"Hey, can we just chill for a bit?"

//green signified my objectsona on this bpog COUGH @luckiestchaos

oh! hello, friend!

MeRead perked up when they saw Lucky, but quickly composed themself.

of course we can, err, chill.

They sat against a wall and motioned for Lucky to sit with them.

A multicolored, pastel blue and green cat rushes over to MeRead, sitting down next to them. The patterns on its tail and ears are completely black and it looks up at them pathetically.

//COUGHS IVE BEEN CRYING FOR AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES @luckiestchaos

.....a cat? how would a cat get in hq?

They kneeled down and picked up the cat, gently petting its fur.

[A note is slid under the door.]

Hey! You good in there?

[A pencil slides in shortly after. It's a mechanical pencil, even more specifically a grey one.]

...

MeRead stared at the paper and pencil for a moment before grabbing the paper and scribbling down:

Kind of. I just woke up in here, and I'm kind of stuck. Can you open the door?

Then they slid the paper and pencil back under the door.

a somewhat dead robot lay in a desolate closet. but suddenly, its screen glows bright green, and somehow,

it turned itself back on.

....what...? i-i thought that i was shut down for good...why am i back online?

MeRead curled up into a ball trying to think of anything that could have woken them up. after a while of thinking, they sighed and stood up.

might as well get out of here.

they pulled against the door to no avail. then they tried to push it, which didn't work, and resulted in a MeRead sprawled on the floor.

Meread wandered down the halls, examining every detail. It was like they were a new prototype again....
