INTERACTABLE! wowza, you can poke Shelly ^_^ _____________________________________________ Episode 3: Temperature troubles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "y-yea.. it was just me and vee though.. we were alone, I swear!! I thought..?" said Shelly, fear breaking through her voice. her eyes filled with tears, worrying for the children of Gardenview. "I'm sure its fine.. maybe yatta triggered something while she was in the vents, you know? lets not panic.." said brightney. "I haven't been in the vents all day! I told you, me and blot were searching for looey all day!!!" her face filled with frustration, then worry, then immediate panic. "I need to search the water floors.. looey has to be somewhere!! and if he's on the water floor with whatever that thing they call an 'anomaly', he's sure to be hiding! he's too pop-able!!" yatta cried, tears dripping down her cheeks. "..enif seh erus mi ,attay (yatta, I'm sure he's fine..)" blot said, his voice distorted like usual. its strange how quickly the toons understood his flipped words. "yatta, you're insane if you think you can go to those aquatic floors! they JUST said there was some unknown danger there.." shelly looks at yatta as if she were insane, and everyone in the room thought she had lost her mind. "we have to find looey, we just have to.." yattas eyes swelled up, her voice cracking between choked words. blot tapped her shoulder, then held out his arms, gesturing a hug request. yatta practically jumped onto him, like a paperclip to a magnet. "yatta, I'm sure he's fine.. in fact, I think he's in the lobby right now!" brightney was trying to cheer up yatta with a sparkle of hope spread around with her words. the small group of toons walked towards the elevator, blot escorting yatta because she could barely see with all the water in her eyes. the elevator creaked open, the lights flickering slightly, but the group paid no mind to it, as they were more worried about Looey and Yatta. "helloooo!" said Dandy, his colorful petals beaming in the light as he arose from his mysterious pop-up shop. "I know y'all must be scared with the mysterious anomaly roaming around, but I assure you, it will not reach any other floor." he was smiling, but the group could tell he was as frightened as they were, his eyes were hallow, almost as if he had seen the creature himself. "so, because of all the sudden fright.. I brought..!" he bends down behind his counter and sets 3 items down. "a box of chocolates, a large pop, and a protein bar!" Yattas eyes lit up when she heard chocolate being mentioned."CHOCOLATE???? OOOOOHH, GIMME GIMME!!!" yelled Yatta, her excited energy rapidly returning as she aggressively grabs the box of sweets off of the counter. she stuffs as many chocolates as she can in her mouth, her sadness and worry completely faded away. Dandy chuckles as she swipes the chocolates out of his possession, so swiftly that he was left speechless for a moment. "looks like sweets are the remedy to sadness, right Yatta?" Dandy chuckles. "YES YES YES YES!!!!! I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!! This would make me happy ANY DAY!!!!!" Yatta squealed. The elevator chimed as it shifted open. "looks like it's my time to leave! i'd best go with you guys, because I love the gossip!" dandy leaped over the counter, and followed behind the group. every toon was gathered in front of the train tracks, and arthur stood in front. "my toons, sorry for the sudden scare, but the cameras picked up something unusual, and we had to take precautions."
(it was too long rip ;-;) scroll down, no spoilers in this AU! >:( "this is a huge case.." Rodger said, rubbing his chin with curiosity. "ooh, ooh! Rodger, can I help??" Toodles giggled. "no, Toodles, this is too dangerous for you to participate.." Toodles' face melted with disappointment, then she slowly nodded while looking at the ground. "look, if it weren't some.. mysterious 'anomaly', then I would let you solve this case with me. but that isn't the case right now. I need to find out who- no.. what this anomaly even is, and if it's hostile or not." Rodger rested his hand on her shoulder as he knelt down to her eye level. "tell you what.. every toon is here, right?" she looked up at him, her eyes sparkling because she knew what he was about to say next. "Gourdy should be here! you could go play with him while I figure this out, alright?" she smiled and nodded, then hugged him before quickly running off, calling Gourdy's name while giggling. "Rodger, are you sure you want to do this..?" Soulvester said, happening to have heard their conversation. "she looks up to you, you know.. like a father.." "oh Im sure that's not true.. I'm just her caretaker, im not her-..." Rodger's voice cut off, realizing just how important he was to Toodles. "Dyle takes care of gourdy most of the time, but he's more of an uncle to gourdy. you're her father in her perspective. how long have you taken care of her?" "well.. since she was born I guess.." Rodger said, fidgeting with his hands nervously, not wanting to accept the truth. "before we continue this conversation, is.. she okay?" soulvester points to Shelly, her face more pale than usual. "ah. I'll go ask. it IS my job to find out things regarding gardenview." he stands up and walks over to Shelly. she's looking cold, and stiff, and she's shaking. her eyes shaking too.. she looks terrified. "Shelly are you alright?" Rodger asked, becoming worried of her physical and mental state. "I'm.. so.. cold.." she replied, her words slow, and almost.. distorted.. Rodger takes off his jacket, and wraps it around shelly. "there.. is that any better..?" "yes.. thank you.. but I have just.. the worst headache.." "I'll get the healer trio. surely the'll be able to diagnose you better than I can." he helps her onto her feet, her legs shaking, her body ice cold, and yet.. she's sweating.. when they get to the trio, they take one look at Shelly, then they jump up and escorted her to the nurse area. oddly enough, the nurse wasn't there. she must've evacuated with the rest of the children and humans. "shelly, you're ice cold! cosmo, get the thermometer." "will do, ginger!" cosmo rushed to the counter and started his search for the thermometer. "ginger, if she's cold, then why would she be sweating?" sprout said, his face filled with worry and confusion. "thats a good question.. its strange though, toons cant get si-" "found it!" cosmo interrupted, presenting the thermometer to ginger. "thanks cousin." "any day!" cosmo beamed, not realizing the situation might be worse than just a cookie away from getting better. ginger put the thermometer in shelly's mouth, then waited. "oh my god.." "what is it?" sprout got closer to see what she's so surprised about. "how is she-.. there's no way. she should be dead at this temperature! toons stay at a consistent temperature of 92 degrees!" "wait how cold is she?" cosmo chimed in. "she's.. she's -12 degrees.." ginger whispered, her face filled with horror. cosmo slowly turned his head to Shelly, her body seeming to have shrunk in width. "she looks so sickly.. its impossible for toons to get sick though.. we aren't meant to, our immune system is statistically too strong, there's no way she could've gotten sick unless the virus is so strong it got through her immune system.." sprout said, being the most knowledgeable about biology and science. "Shelly, you're going to have to stay on your floor for now.. we don't know if it's contagious.." ginger said softly. "could I.. maybe take a bath before heading there..?" "yea.. yea, that should be fine. take your time and rest.. Shelly." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ep.1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1381879776 ep:2: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1383501924 harhar, cliffhanger againnnnnn,,,, anygay- COUGH- I mean anyways, Cosmo ( @The-pokemon_kid33 ) will be making episode 4 so look out for that! here is where you can find the episodes! ↴ https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/52002522
