#stuck in a vent..

Soft tremors could be felt throughout the factory as a large mechanical jester spider made his way through a hallway closest to the area where he hid to rest, relax and maintain repairs on himself. Today though, in the bag strapped onto his waist was a brand new voice box, for none other than Rei, the one he had come to enjoy being around. Despite having the present for the little catnap, he looked as if he was searching frantically for something, and in reality he was. Rei had wandered off again like he normally did, even though the Prototype himself told him that his company was welcomed and he didn’t mind having him around. He so badly wanted to give this new voice box to Rei but for the life of him couldn’t find his little friend anywhere.

This was about the time that his thoughts wondered to the darker end. What if that doctor had him? He felt his teeth clench in anger and in worry, the only thing his permanent grinning face could do as he searched for the cat, his movements clearly showing he was getting more worried by the second. It was about this time when he had bent down to a small vent to look in, it was small, and he’d seen Rei enter here a few times to hide so he decided to try and squeeze himself in to get a better look.

His giant spider-like mechanical body crouches and the two front legs and two back legs help him scoot deeper into the vent as his upper half was now laying on the cold vent floor. He used his hands and legs to squeeze himself in and scoot forwards inch by inch. He barely fit and that would become apparent when one of the red smoke tanks strapped to his side snagged on something inside the vent that he couldn’t see past his enormous hulking lower half, and then when he tried to move more, he was met with a gentle jerk and stayed in place.

His head lifts then turns to look at what had happened. His needle like hands flat against the metal of the vent, his jester hat’s bells jiggling as his head moved to examine what was wrong and why he was stuck. Funnily enough, the Prototype had gotten pretty far into that small vent, about halfway in until he’d gotten stuck, and now, he was extremely hoping Rei or anyone else wasn’t around to see this. Rei especially wouldn’t let him live it down, his other selves would be in the floor laughing.

A loud groan of mechanic frustration escapes him and he attempts to back up, pushing forward with his hands, hid front legs pulling until a scrap sound then he swiftly stops. Oh no. He stays still, and just lays as he examines himself again. He couldn’t see a damned thing in here, so instead he felt around with one of his hands.

He felt around his waist, up his lower back to where one of the tanks was, the one lodged into the vent and did in fact feel something had punctured it. He hisses. Well wonderful! Great…If he moved now the whole vent was going to fill with smoke. He didn’t want that and in his anger, his other hand clenches into a fist and he slams it to the side of the metal vent hard.
