That Fucking fish.

as you walk through the metallic halls of the hadel Blacksite something in your peripheral vision catches your eye. Down a dark hallway to your left a single wooden door stands surrounded by glowing light blue sparkles. The door creaks open slightly, a warm hallway sprawls beyond it. A human silhouette can be seen standing in the hallway.

the silhouettes head snaps towards Expendable. their hands tighten around their satchel. They approach them with caution, eyes never looking away. As they walk closer they start looking less nervous, their hands coming down to their sides. They reach the door and speak..

They blinked before slowly relaxing their muscles and looking awkwardly sideways, a person? Maybe? I mean it's not like they haven't heard the monsters down here speak....,,,,,,they didn't LOOK like a monster but hell you never knew down here.

they looked discussed at the expendables words. they waved their hands back and forth while answering.

Expendable blinked before giving a allmost relieved sigh

Tourist tilted their head at Exps words. What did they mean by Fish monsters and hallucinations? Ok actually they understood the hallucinations, but fish monsters???

They frowned before giving a very confused expression

”WERE UNDER WATER!?!??”

Expendable pinched the bridge of their nose and gave a heavy sigh looking around the metal room for one of the commonly found windows to the deep water, there was none in this hallway..

They took a deep breath in, trying to process the new information they were receiving.

The expendable just blinked, well that sounded hella familiar. Hey maybe this guy actually knew what they were doing

They vaguely gesture at the door behind them. Then their words register. How do they not think Tourist is crazy?!

Expendable gave a nervous laugh and looked to the side subtlety

they blinked at the persons words before nodding their head. This place sounded familiar…somehow it reminded them of the hotel. Except instead of ‘mutated killer fish’ there was supernatural entity’s trying to kill you. Although one thing they said still confused Tourist. They took a calming breath in before speaking.

They raised their eyebrows

They reach for their bag and pull out a leather bound notebook, quickly flipping to a blank page and jotting down what they-no, what Expendable said about AI. Now that they think about it Expendable seems more like a title than a name, they’ll have to ask about that later. Bold of you to assume they’ll stick around that long tourist.

They awkwardly stared at the outstretched hand, I mean they KNEW they should shake it. But quite frankly they weren't sure if this person was uhh, an actual person yet.-

They smile as Expendable shakes their hand. They pulled their hand back at their side as expendable pulled away, they must not like touch.

Their eyes became impossibly wide, as they stared at the sweet treats, it'd probably been moths since they'd eaten anything other then, well fish, mold(?), [other things that are probably absolutely horrible to eat]

they looked semi startled as Expendable grabbed the doughnut, but then a small spreads across their face. They begin to chuckle slightly. It felt nice to share with someone. It felt nice to be around someone.

They barely even chewed as they ate the donut like their life depended on it, before pausing halfway though a bite and suddenly composing themselves

they shake their head. It was a very kind offer, but they had a feeling expendable needed the food more then they did. Plus for some reason they couldn’t explain they really didn’t need to eat or drink anymore.

Expendable fished the donut before they looked down at them sitting on the floor, staring rather blankly as they considered their words

they nodded their head along wail Exp talked, taking notes on what they were saying. They chuckled lightly as Exp flexed, it was so nice to have company.

They looked down at tourist and smiled at the chuckle, before they rubbed the back of their neck, looking to the side

Tourist let out a relieved sigh. To be honest they were scared Exp would tell them to go away. Everyone does eventually.

They nodded and started walking down the hall, hoisting their backpack up on their shoulder a little more as they pushed the heavy metal door open with a click

they walk slightly behind expendable, taking in the new environment they found themselves in. It was nothing like the hotel. Cold metallic halls, completely surrounded by water. It was so different to the warm wooden interior of their world where the rain gently fell outside. Yet it was comforting, it finally felt like they broke the cycle.

Expendable nodded thoughtfully, watching tourist out of the Corner of their vision, they weren't used to having someone to talk to, or listen to, not that they where complaining at all. That they couldn't help but worry slightly about where their attention should be focused on

“There’s two entities that are common and move abnormal fast in the hotel. Their called Rush and ambush. Absolute pests. What about these anglers?”

Expendable nodded thoughtfully

tourist shook their head back and forth, drawing their attention away from the window. You need to stop getting distracted tourist. If you keep slowing them down they’ll leave. Snap out of it.

Expendable turned away slightly before rubbing the back of their neck and looking to the side

”how interesting. Id like to learn more later, but we should keep moving right?”

Expendable panicked, the second the realized what door they'd gone towards they panicked.. Not again not again not again. Fuck.

((Slight gore warning bellow!))

Expendable cringed slightly at the wound, it wasn't deep enough to harm them too badly...then again what was even "too badly" at this point-

As they take out their supply’s tourist reached their hand up, placing it on their arm. They shouldn’t use their supplies on you. It was your fault after all. Stop them.

Expendable paused before looking at the... bandaids, like those were gonna do anything??

they stop moving at Expendables words. They were right. If they moved it would just make it harder for them, and that’s the last thing tourist wanted. You just make everything harder Tourist. They quietly spoke into the silence of the black site.

They cursed themself for snapping upon hearing tourists tone and finished wrapping their wound, biting the wrap and tearing the excess off, feeling oddly guilty now , even if they only got angry out of worry

They nod their head. The fog of pain clouding their mind started fading away slowly. Hm, guess Stoping the bleeding was really helpful.

They smiled a little and rubbed the back of their neck , their hands shaking a little from the adrenaline rush and sudden worry that had blown their nervous system for a moment, cautiously side eyeing their arm and the wound to make sure it was bandaged well

They perked up slightly, though still worried. And gave a small nod of their head to point the way to tourist as they started to walk

They nodded at Expendables words, giving a hum of acknowledgment as well. Celestials they wished they could write that down right now. As they walked father into the site a question surfaced in Tourist mind..

They paused almost completely freezing in movement before composing themselves, if they even mentioned HOW urbanshade got their workers surely tourist would instantly judge them ..

they nod along to Expendables explanation. This company they mentioned sounds…corrupt to say the least. There seems to be a gap in Exp’s recount thought. They know that they shouldn’t ask. But they had to know. They had to.

They inhaled through their teeth as they continued to walk, they'd feel bad if they didn't say anything - they'd feel even worse if they had to say everything- vague. Be vague, it's bad either way.

they hummed in response, thinking over the new information. If the information was accurate that would mean expendable was a prisoner. A prisoner sent down to a dangerous underwater facility to most likely die. They slightly scowled before speaking.

They looked relieved that tourist hadn't been worried about the whole, prisoner thing before scoffing a little and shrugging almost tripping over their own feet

They chuckled at Exp “holding” the door open for them. They gave a small bow before going through the door, then pausing to wait for Exp. They walked next to them.

Expendable smiled at tourist leaning back a little as they walked with their arms behind their neck, before turning their head to look at them

they sighed, it was fair that they tell their story, but how can they if they don’t even remember all of it?

Expendable blinked a few times thinking about how the whole, time thing made sense, I mean they had several questions but figured maybe it would be better to not question how someone who's been stuck in a time looping hotel ended up at the bottom of the ocean though a door -

The tension in tourist shoulders dropped at Exp’s response. It seemed like they actually understood what they were going through, a kindred spirit of some sort.

"ehh, well stuff is definitely allot more expensive then when you were uhm...how would I word that?... Like, around (???), no no that's wrong your still very much here just- You know what I mean. Uhm."

“How fascinating! Robots were really only a myth when I was outside the hotel, and prices have gone up? How interesting! The world sure has changed. I will say that big companies being corrupted is nothing new, seems like everyone has gotten used to it though.”

Expendable listened to them talk fondly before looking to the side again and humming in thought

they nod along thoughtfully to Exps words, they were semi correct after all.

They gave a small "hm" in acknowledgment to their words before they pushed open a doorway that led to the hall blocked with a pile of rocks, and BASICALLY only way forward was into the water under it

”hey, why’d you stop- oh. Crap.”

They gave an awkward sound

they took a breath in, trying to calm their nerves. Sure Exp had offered to find another way through, but who knows how long that would take. It seemed like the smartest option was of move forward.

They blinked before they nodded and pulled out the diving mask out of their bag and looked at it thinking for a moment

They nodded at Exp, and started putting on the equipment, only with slight struggle.

they frowned slightly, thinking about how to awnser the question for a moment

They nodded along to Exp's warnings. They can probably push through the cold water and picking up on sounds shouldn’t be a problem. The only issue is the lack of gear…but they’ll be ok.

Tourist watched them for a moment. They looked so confident, like they had done this a million times they probably had. They took a deep breath in before following behind.

Expendable gave a nod and moved though the water with almost unnatural ease, they'd definitely done this before,their eyes drifted back to tourist every now and then to make sure they where able to keep up,

tourist followed behind them slowly, taking in the scenery. They had never been this deep underwater before. They felt like they were back with guide after a death, it was comforting somehow. Damn their arm was starting to ache.

they swam slowly through the rift, after all it didn't see very dangerous at all. It was actually quite peaceful. Tourist stoped for a moment and looked up, complete darkness above them. So tranquil. They let themselves float their for a moment, taking it all in. What a strange yet stunning place they found themselves in. Celestials They were thankful that they went through that door and met Expendable.

Expendable stared at tourist freezing in the water and instantly panicked, did they get stunned by something? If they stayed still for too long they'd sink due to the lack of equipment!?

They turned towards Exp with wide eyes to mach. they didn’t expect them to grab onto them and pull them across, they were just relaxing after all! Then they looked at Exp. Really looked at them. They looked sacred. Of what they didn’t in know, but they did know that their action probably didn’t help. They wanted to apologize, but how? It’s not like they could talk down here. Then it hit them. Tourist brought their hand to their chest and formed it into a fist. They started moving it in a circle. They were using ASL.

They seemed relieved heavily at tourist moving, thank goodness. They weren't stunned by anything and where unharmed, they tilted their head at the hand movement before realizing they were apologizing, they knew basic signs nothing actually enough to talk back through. So they put their hands up and shook their head to say it was fine, hoping that tourist understood they weren't upset, only worried

they nodded at Exp, they didn’t seem mad at all thank celestials. They looked up to where they wear pointing and saw the hole leading to the exit. They gave Exp a thumbs up and swam up.

Expendable climbed out and took the cracked mask off, (promptly a little water falling from it as it had, apparently been leaking?) before looking at tourist on the floor and giving a worried expression

They lay there on the ground shivering. they mumbled something from their resting place on the ground, they hoped Exp heard them..

Expendable looked at them for a second before nodding quickly as they basically crawled over to the bag and opened it, there were,,, interesting supplies in there, at least to them, they grabbed the lighter before digging though their own bag, something that would burn well hmmm

they give a weak thumbs up from their position on the floor. They know that they should- no need to get up and start moving but they just…couldn’t. Their body wasn’t cooperating with them anymore. Almost like it was trying to tell them something. They wouldn’t listen.

They turned to tourist looking them over fighting the intrusive thought to say they looked like a wet cat 💔 before they pointed at the fire

they nod along to Exp’s words as they pull out their notebook (which is somehow completely dry? Don’t ask, they don’t know) and started writing down their words. “Interesting how some entities can be used as a replacement for normal materials hm?”

They smiled before rubbing the back of their neck

they hummed at Exp’s response, from what they described (and what they experienced) the entity’s here did seem quite hostile towards humans. They turned towards Exp and gave a small smile.

Expendable tilted their head before leaning back a little and throwing another chunk into the fire. I mean it was a waste of supplies but it was better then letting tourist freeze to death or something -

as you walk through the metallic halls of the hadel Blacksite something in your peripheral vision catches your eye. Down a dark hallway to your left a single wooden door stands surrounded by glowing light blue sparkles. The door creaks open slightly, a warm hallway sprawls beyond it. A human silhouette can be seen standing in the hallway.

Expendable blinked before giving a allmost relieved sigh

Tourist tilted their head at Exps words. What did they mean by Fish monsters and hallucinations? Ok actually they understood the hallucinations, but fish monsters???

They frowned before giving a very confused expression

”WERE UNDER WATER!?!??”

Expendable pinched the bridge of their nose and gave a heavy sigh looking around the metal room for one of the commonly found windows to the deep water, there was none in this hallway..

They chuckled at Exp “holding” the door open for them. They gave a small bow before going through the door, then pausing to wait for Exp. They walked next to them.

Expendable smiled at tourist leaning back a little as they walked with their arms behind their neck, before turning their head to look at them

they sighed, it was fair that they tell their story, but how can they if they don’t even remember all of it?

Expendable blinked a few times thinking about how the whole, time thing made sense, I mean they had several questions but figured maybe it would be better to not question how someone who's been stuck in a time looping hotel ended up at the bottom of the ocean though a door -

The tension in tourist shoulders dropped at Exp’s response. It seemed like they actually understood what they were going through, a kindred spirit of some sort.

"ehh, well stuff is definitely allot more expensive then when you were uhm...how would I word that?... Like, around (???), no no that's wrong your still very much here just- You know what I mean. Uhm."

“How fascinating! Robots were really only a myth when I was outside the hotel, and prices have gone up? How interesting! The world sure has changed. I will say that big companies being corrupted is nothing new, seems like everyone has gotten used to it though.”

Expendable listened to them talk fondly before looking to the side again and humming in thought

they nod along thoughtfully to Exps words, they were semi correct after all.

They gave a small "hm" in acknowledgment to their words before they pushed open a doorway that led to the hall blocked with a pile of rocks, and BASICALLY only way forward was into the water under it

”hey, why’d you stop- oh. Crap.”

They gave an awkward sound

they took a breath in, trying to calm their nerves. Sure Exp had offered to find another way through, but who knows how long that would take. It seemed like the smartest option was of move forward.

They blinked before they nodded and pulled out the diving mask out of their bag and looked at it thinking for a moment

They nodded at Exp, and started putting on the equipment, only with slight struggle.

they frowned slightly, thinking about how to awnser the question for a moment

They nodded along to Exp's warnings. They can probably push through the cold water and picking up on sounds shouldn’t be a problem. The only issue is the lack of gear…but they’ll be ok.

Tourist watched them for a moment. They looked so confident, like they had done this a million times they probably had. They took a deep breath in before following behind.

Expendable gave a nod and moved though the water with almost unnatural ease, they'd definitely done this before,their eyes drifted back to tourist every now and then to make sure they where able to keep up,

tourist followed behind them slowly, taking in the scenery. They had never been this deep underwater before. They felt like they were back with guide after a death, it was comforting somehow. Damn their arm was starting to ache.

they swam slowly through the rift, after all it didn't see very dangerous at all. It was actually quite peaceful. Tourist stoped for a moment and looked up, complete darkness above them. So tranquil. They let themselves float their for a moment, taking it all in. What a strange yet stunning place they found themselves in. Celestials They were thankful that they went through that door and met Expendable.

Expendable stared at tourist freezing in the water and instantly panicked, did they get stunned by something? If they stayed still for too long they'd sink due to the lack of equipment!?

They turned towards Exp with wide eyes to mach. they didn’t expect them to grab onto them and pull them across, they were just relaxing after all! Then they looked at Exp. Really looked at them. They looked sacred. Of what they didn’t in know, but they did know that their action probably didn’t help. They wanted to apologize, but how? It’s not like they could talk down here. Then it hit them. Tourist brought their hand to their chest and formed it into a fist. They started moving it in a circle. They were using ASL.

They seemed relieved heavily at tourist moving, thank goodness. They weren't stunned by anything and where unharmed, they tilted their head at the hand movement before realizing they were apologizing, they knew basic signs nothing actually enough to talk back through. So they put their hands up and shook their head to say it was fine, hoping that tourist understood they weren't upset, only worried

they nodded at Exp, they didn’t seem mad at all thank celestials. They looked up to where they wear pointing and saw the hole leading to the exit. They gave Exp a thumbs up and swam up.

Expendable climbed out and took the cracked mask off, (promptly a little water falling from it as it had, apparently been leaking?) before looking at tourist on the floor and giving a worried expression

They lay there on the ground shivering. they mumbled something from their resting place on the ground, they hoped Exp heard them..

Expendable looked at them for a second before nodding quickly as they basically crawled over to the bag and opened it, there were,,, interesting supplies in there, at least to them, they grabbed the lighter before digging though their own bag, something that would burn well hmmm

they give a weak thumbs up from their position on the floor. They know that they should- no need to get up and start moving but they just…couldn’t. Their body wasn’t cooperating with them anymore. Almost like it was trying to tell them something. They wouldn’t listen.

They turned to tourist looking them over fighting the intrusive thought to say they looked like a wet cat 💔 before they pointed at the fire

as you walk through the metallic halls of the hadel Blacksite something in your peripheral vision catches your eye. Down a dark hallway to your left a single wooden door stands surrounded by glowing light blue sparkles. The door creaks open slightly, a warm hallway sprawls beyond it. A human silhouette can be seen standing in the hallway.

the silhouettes head snaps towards Expendable. their hands tighten around their satchel. They approach them with caution, eyes never looking away. As they walk closer they start looking less nervous, their hands coming down to their sides. They reach the door and speak..

They blinked before slowly relaxing their muscles and looking awkwardly sideways, a person? Maybe? I mean it's not like they haven't heard the monsters down here speak....,,,,,,they didn't LOOK like a monster but hell you never knew down here.

they looked discussed at the expendables words. they waved their hands back and forth while answering.

Expendable blinked before giving a allmost relieved sigh

Tourist tilted their head at Exps words. What did they mean by Fish monsters and hallucinations? Ok actually they understood the hallucinations, but fish monsters???

They frowned before giving a very confused expression

”WERE UNDER WATER!?!??”

Expendable pinched the bridge of their nose and gave a heavy sigh looking around the metal room for one of the commonly found windows to the deep water, there was none in this hallway..

They took a deep breath in, trying to process the new information they were receiving.

The expendable just blinked, well that sounded hella familiar. Hey maybe this guy actually knew what they were doing

They vaguely gesture at the door behind them. Then their words register. How do they not think Tourist is crazy?!

Expendable gave a nervous laugh and looked to the side subtlety

they blinked at the persons words before nodding their head. This place sounded familiar…somehow it reminded them of the hotel. Except instead of ‘mutated killer fish’ there was supernatural entity’s trying to kill you. Although one thing they said still confused Tourist. They took a calming breath in before speaking.

They raised their eyebrows

They reach for their bag and pull out a leather bound notebook, quickly flipping to a blank page and jotting down what they-no, what Expendable said about AI. Now that they think about it Expendable seems more like a title than a name, they’ll have to ask about that later. Bold of you to assume they’ll stick around that long tourist.

They awkwardly stared at the outstretched hand, I mean they KNEW they should shake it. But quite frankly they weren't sure if this person was uhh, an actual person yet.-

They smile as Expendable shakes their hand. They pulled their hand back at their side as expendable pulled away, they must not like touch.

Their eyes became impossibly wide, as they stared at the sweet treats, it'd probably been moths since they'd eaten anything other then, well fish, mold(?), [other things that are probably absolutely horrible to eat]

they looked semi startled as Expendable grabbed the doughnut, but then a small spreads across their face. They begin to chuckle slightly. It felt nice to share with someone. It felt nice to be around someone.

They barely even chewed as they ate the donut like their life depended on it, before pausing halfway though a bite and suddenly composing themselves

they shake their head. It was a very kind offer, but they had a feeling expendable needed the food more then they did. Plus for some reason they couldn’t explain they really didn’t need to eat or drink anymore.

Expendable fished the donut before they looked down at them sitting on the floor, staring rather blankly as they considered their words

they nodded their head along wail Exp talked, taking notes on what they were saying. They chuckled lightly as Exp flexed, it was so nice to have company.

They looked down at tourist and smiled at the chuckle, before they rubbed the back of their neck, looking to the side

Tourist let out a relieved sigh. To be honest they were scared Exp would tell them to go away. Everyone does eventually.

They nodded and started walking down the hall, hoisting their backpack up on their shoulder a little more as they pushed the heavy metal door open with a click

they walk slightly behind expendable, taking in the new environment they found themselves in. It was nothing like the hotel. Cold metallic halls, completely surrounded by water. It was so different to the warm wooden interior of their world where the rain gently fell outside. Yet it was comforting, it finally felt like they broke the cycle.

Expendable nodded thoughtfully, watching tourist out of the Corner of their vision, they weren't used to having someone to talk to, or listen to, not that they where complaining at all. That they couldn't help but worry slightly about where their attention should be focused on

“There’s two entities that are common and move abnormal fast in the hotel. Their called Rush and ambush. Absolute pests. What about these anglers?”

Expendable nodded thoughtfully

tourist shook their head back and forth, drawing their attention away from the window. You need to stop getting distracted tourist. If you keep slowing them down they’ll leave. Snap out of it.

Expendable turned away slightly before rubbing the back of their neck and looking to the side

”how interesting. Id like to learn more later, but we should keep moving right?”

Expendable panicked, the second the realized what door they'd gone towards they panicked.. Not again not again not again. Fuck.

((Slight gore warning bellow!))

Expendable cringed slightly at the wound, it wasn't deep enough to harm them too badly...then again what was even "too badly" at this point-

As they take out their supply’s tourist reached their hand up, placing it on their arm. They shouldn’t use their supplies on you. It was your fault after all. Stop them.

Expendable paused before looking at the... bandaids, like those were gonna do anything??

they stop moving at Expendables words. They were right. If they moved it would just make it harder for them, and that’s the last thing tourist wanted. You just make everything harder Tourist. They quietly spoke into the silence of the black site.

They cursed themself for snapping upon hearing tourists tone and finished wrapping their wound, biting the wrap and tearing the excess off, feeling oddly guilty now , even if they only got angry out of worry

They nod their head. The fog of pain clouding their mind started fading away slowly. Hm, guess Stoping the bleeding was really helpful.

They smiled a little and rubbed the back of their neck , their hands shaking a little from the adrenaline rush and sudden worry that had blown their nervous system for a moment, cautiously side eyeing their arm and the wound to make sure it was bandaged well

They perked up slightly, though still worried. And gave a small nod of their head to point the way to tourist as they started to walk

They nodded at Expendables words, giving a hum of acknowledgment as well. Celestials they wished they could write that down right now. As they walked father into the site a question surfaced in Tourist mind..

They paused almost completely freezing in movement before composing themselves, if they even mentioned HOW urbanshade got their workers surely tourist would instantly judge them ..

they nod along to Expendables explanation. This company they mentioned sounds…corrupt to say the least. There seems to be a gap in Exp’s recount thought. They know that they shouldn’t ask. But they had to know. They had to.

They inhaled through their teeth as they continued to walk, they'd feel bad if they didn't say anything - they'd feel even worse if they had to say everything- vague. Be vague, it's bad either way.

they hummed in response, thinking over the new information. If the information was accurate that would mean expendable was a prisoner. A prisoner sent down to a dangerous underwater facility to most likely die. They slightly scowled before speaking.

They looked relieved that tourist hadn't been worried about the whole, prisoner thing before scoffing a little and shrugging almost tripping over their own feet

They chuckled at Exp “holding” the door open for them. They gave a small bow before going through the door, then pausing to wait for Exp. They walked next to them.
