[10 DAYS BEFORE THE INKFECTION]
Welcome to Melody Laboratories! This is the lab that Scroll was talking about 10 days after with the DTM. Here we have Scroll's cousin, Shoe, working at the lab as usual with his co-worker, Syringe. Their role in the lab is to make inventions needed by the citizens of Inanimatica or even the whole world. But of course, they also do a little research, although Geometry does that more than them.
Sunny (on the monitor): Hi there, Shoe and Syringe! Is the invention thingy done yet? Sorry if I sounded pushy.
Shoe: It's almost up! Just wait 2 and a half days and it'll be ready.
Syringe: Well, we still have a testing phase for one day so I believe the ETA will be 3 days.
Shoe: Oh, right.
Moony (on the monitor): 3 days?! Are you like, kidding me? We need that thing now!
Sunny: Moony, please go down, you're causing a solar eclipse.
Moony: Sorry...
Moony goes away.
Sunny: I'm very sorry about her. She's a bit moody but she's actually nice, short patience though.
Shoe: It's okay! We're pretty used to it.
Geometry: (opens the door) ᴍʀ. ꜱʜᴏᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍꜱ. ꜱʏʀɪɴɢᴇ, ᴡᴇ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ᴄʟɪᴇɴᴛꜱ ᴛᴏᴅᴀʏ. ʜᴇ'ꜱ ᴍʏ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʜɪꜱ ꜱᴏɴ.
Painting: Hello there! So the doctor here, Pill Container, told us to go to you and request a cure for my son's rusty side of his head.
Sphere: It hurts.
Shoe: Oh! Of course we could do that-!
Syringe: Sir, I think Pill messed up. You're supposed to request that to the one who is in charge of chemical inventions, RB Flask. We make mechanical inventions.
Painting: Oh, alri- but wait a minute. My boyfriend, Flag, really wants a dimension travelling thing. Could you make that?
Shoe: Yes! We can-
Syringe: Not sure if we make dimension travelling machinery but we'll see what we can do.
Painting: Thank you! We'll now head over to Mr. RB Flask's office.
Sphere: Dad, how many days do you think the cure would be created?
Syringe: It'll take up to 10 days.
Sphere: Oh, okay.
Painting waves goodbye as they leave the office of Shoe and Syringe, heading over to RB Flask's office.
Shoe: Well, we should start working on the dimension travelling machine after testing and giving out to the space twins the Ultra Light Sensor.
Syringe: Yeah.
Syringe starts to keep working on the ULS for Sunny and Moony but for some reason, she looks down. Shoe noticed how she acts and so he tries to talk to her.
Shoe: Uhh, hey Syringe? Are you... okay? You can always vent out to me like you always do.
Syringe: Sigh... It's just my... my childhood friend and crush. I think you already know who he is.
Shoe: Torch?
Syringe: Yeah.
Shoe: Well, what happened?
Syringe: For some reason, when he started working at Artist's Tower as an animator, he started to act more less sane. I also heard from one of his co-workers that he gouged his eye out to sacrifice it to something. Not sure what that "something" is but, he's becoming obsessive.
Shoe: Do you know why?
Syringe: No...
Geometry: (opens the door again) ʜᴇʏ, ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴛɪʟʟ ᴡᴏʀᴋɪɴɢ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜʟꜱ? ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴀɴʏ ᴏᴜᴛᴘᴜᴛ ʀᴇᴘᴏʀᴛꜱ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴍʏ ꜱᴄʀᴇᴇɴ.
Shoe: Oh! Yes, we are. Syringe is just telling me something. Come on, let's get to work!
Syringe: Mhm.
They continue to work on the ULS. POV switches to Torch, who is in the Artist's Tower HQ, looking out the window.
Torch: I can hear them. I can hear the gods speaking to me, I will become the new owner of this studio. The time will come, and soon, this studio's throne is mine. The clock is ticking. Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...
