(26)Painty Investigations

\\\CW: SWEARING, FIRE\\\
///PAINTBRUSH POV///
I was searching for Pickle to ask him a bunch of questions about well...FAN, because he isn't trust-worthy for me and I do NOT believe that he really went to the pool with Mic, just because.... NONE OF THEM CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING SWIM???
Holy shit, it's like they think I wouldn't notice about them being both objects that cannot swim, do they really think I am just an angry asshole? Well they are both WRONG!
Now where the fuck could Pickle be... he usually is in the couch sitting there doing absolutely nothing but playing some fucking useless videogame but for some fucking reason HE ISNT THERE RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
AGH WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT-
"Painty!" I heard a voice call out my name and turned around to see...oh it's Lightbulb
I took a deep breath and relaxed a bit before I said anything
"Oh. Hey there Lightbulb" I said calmly
"Heya Painty! I was walking around searching for ya and I finally found ya!" She said as she smiled
"Why where you searching for me?" I asked her really confused
"Well, I made ya a lil drawing! I made it cuz since tha last time we did a lil art-thingy class I decided to try and draw u and now well itz here!" She said as she pulled a drawing out of literally nowhere and gave it to me
"Oh ummm...thank you Lightbulb?- this is really-" I looked at the perfectly painted painting that she had made herself
"Ya can keep it if ya want!"
"Oh, you don't want to keep it yourself?" I asked her
"Ye. But I want ya to have it cuz I made it for ya after all! Right?"
I smiled and patted her head
"Thank you Lightbulb" I said and smiled at her
I cant remember what I even was mad about anymore, it's like if I forgot what I was-
Oh...I remember now...
My smile faded and I got serious in a matter of a few seconds
"What's wrong Painty?" She asked as soon as she saw me not smiling anymore
"Ive got to go find that IDIOTIC piece of vegetable." I said as I stepped away from her
"Ohhhh, ya mean pickle? I know where he is"
"You do???"
"Ye."
"WAIT YOU DO??? WHERE IS HE???"
"He is in tha reception, doin Paper's old  job"
"How do you- well nevermind! Ive got to go see him! BYE LIGHTBULB!!!" I said as I started to walk away
"Uhhh..yeah bye Painty!" She said as she waved at me while I left to go to the reception
I should've asked Lightbulb about where Pickle was sooner, idk even how but she always knows where everyone is, or at least- she knows where almost everyone is and well- she knows it sometimes
I looked at the reception and saw Pickle sitting down looking at papers really bored-looking
I went over to him
"PICKLE." I said as I got in front of him
"HUH?!-" he got scared and fell of his chair
"PAINTBRUSH YOU MADE ME FALL OF MY CHAIR!" He said as he stood up again
"Yeah yeah, well I came here to ask you some questions about Fan"
"About Fan? Why?"
"Because I need answers alright?"
"Oh ummmm..."
"Okey soooo.... tell me about where was Fan yesterday"
"Yesterday? Well he was at the pool-"
When I heard him say that I knew I had fucked up, he wasn't lying after all?- but why was he there?
"Fuck. Well uhhh... do you somehow know why he was there?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"well you should know since you now have to do Paper's old job which was basically just having everyone in control and as far as Ive seen... YOURE DOING A HORRIBLE JOB."
I started to get mad, how can't he even do his job properly???
"do it yourself then. come on. look at where the fuck eleven people are all of the time."
What he just said annoyed me a lot, ITS ONLY ELEVEN PEOPLE THATS NOT SO MANY PEOPLE!
"Ive got enough with having to keep Lighty safe because YOU  CANT DO YOUR FUCKING JOB CORRECTLY." I shouted angrily at him, I've had enough with this motherfucker not doing anything correctly
he looked at me really serious-looking
"if you're done already you can leave." he said arrogantly WHICH ANNOYED ME A LOT
"DONE ALREADY??? OH YOU WISHED I WAS DONE ALREADY YOU LITTLE-"
I looked at him dead in the eyes as my head got filled with flames
He saw my flames and started panicking
"PAINTBRUSH RELAX JEEZ!" He said nervously
"RELAX??? YOU WANT ME TO-"
Then suddenly I felt someone grabbing me by my arm and I turned over to them
OJ was standing there looking at me very seriously
"Paintbrush we've talked about this"
I realised what I was about to do and relaxed myself a bit
I looked over at Pickle's desk which had started burning
OJ proceeded to go get a fire extinguisher to put out the fire
"Um...sorry I might have gotten a little too mad there" I said to Pickle but he just ignored me
"Paintbrush do us a favour and go search for Lightbulb or whoever you're looking for yourself" said OJ as he put out the fire
"Do you a favour DO YOU A-"
"Paintbrush, please?" Said OJ as he finished putting out the fire
"Oh....I- Ummm....alright" I said and I finally left
Wow my anger issues sure are getting worse
Argh....I'm just going to search for Mic
That motherfucker might be the holder of the information I need to discover what Fan was doing in the pool, he can't swim and his phone might get-
Wait....HIS PHONE
He didn't have it
HE DIDNT HAVE HIS PHONE.
Thats not normal in him he is usually all the time on that motherfucking phone
Where did his phone go...
I stopped walking and stood up as I was thinking where Fan's phone might be
As I was thinking I looked around clueless
His Phone has to have been lost during the time of when he was with Test Tube...wait a damm minute
Didnt Lighty say something about Test Tube-
Wait... she did!
What did she say exactly...
She said something about Test Tube sending her to warn us about the Liquid but...how did Test Tube even arrive at where Lightbulb was? Or was Lightbulb in here all along? No no, I'm quite sure she wasn't here, I would've known
So how did Test Tube get there?
We aren't allowed to go back there walking since well, what happened with Fan
She must have gotten there some way that wasn't walking...
Like-
Teletransportation!
But does she even own a Teletransportation device?
Well maybe...
I should go check in her lab just in case!
But I can't just go alone
And I can't leave Lighty behind
I'll just take her with me then!
And after looking into Test Tube's lab I will go talk to Mic
This is just more important now
I went over to where my room is
Lighty is usually either there or lost around the hotel
I just don't know where she is right now
I'll just check in the room, if I'm lucky enough I might be able to find her there
I unlocked my room and entered
"Lightbulb are you here?" I said as I entered the room which was pure black because the lights for some reason were off
I left the drawing that Lightbulb had made me which now now kind of burned out but it still looked nice on top of a table that was there
I went over to the bed where I found Lighty hugging Baxter fallen asleep
I smiled while looking at her
She is kinda cute, if I've gotta say myself
No Paintbrush, control yourself! You've got to get Lighty to wake up
I went closer to her and patted her body softly
"Lightbulb wake up" I said kind off whispering so she wouldn't get scared
She softly woke up and looked at me
"Painty?.. what's the matter?..." she said as she slowly woke up
"I need you to come with me to Test Tube's lab, please" I said to her
"Right now?..."
"Yeah"
She stood up slowly and went over to the bathroom
"Where are you-"  I said as she went inside and opened the sink so water came out
"WAIT LIGHTBULB DONT DO THAT YOU WILL-" I ran towards her to stop her but she already had put some water on her face and get a little shock
"WOAH! THAT WAS A GOODA SHOCK" she said really energetically, like if that shock gave her instant energy or something
"Lightbulb are you alright???" I asked her
"Ye! Lets go to tha Lab now!" She said as she smiled at me
"Do you even where it is?" I asked her
"Ye. Ive been there like a couple of times to get some... er...drinks"
"drinks? what dri-"
She grabbed me by my arm and tried to take me out of the room
I pulled away for a second
"What are you-"
"C'mon Painty! We've gotta go!"
"Wait I've got to get something before-"
I went over to the table and grabbed the flower I had in a pot
I'll need this to keep my temper low..
I went over to Lighty and she immediately grabbed me by my arm and took me outside
"LETS GO PAINTY TO THA TREASURE!" She shouted
"Treasure??? But we are going to the lab!"
"TREASURE." She shouted as she took me to the FFF recording room
