Overdue Check-Up (Poppy Playtime)

(Chapter 3) Part 8: Get To The Generator Ep. 1

Dan was shaking, not immensely, but still enough to be noticed, adrenalin does that to you when it shocks into your system from fear. Dan's wide eyes darted from Hoppy and Nearic to the direction he saw Catnap walk by, he faintly remembers a barricade of wood and dead toys between them, but he was distracted by how close the mon-... toy was to them. The older brother knew it was taunting them, feigning ignorance to make them feel safe, only to eventually jump in and rip them apart... slowly.

He looked back at the two clearly confused individuals, then mimed ears on top of his head with two fingers from each hand, then points to the sighting. Those two gestures made Hoppy's irises shrink into near nothing, ears dropping, while Nearic's eyes widened as his shoulders slumped slightly in surprise. He then marches forward, quietly, pushes his brother to the side, and opens the door and slowly and quietly as he can, he looked past the door's gap as soon as he could see through it, then above, then pushed a little more to look left... No Catnap.

He sighs in relief and opens the door fully, and looks back as he says, "He's gone."

Dan and Hoppy sigh in relief, the tall toy placing a hand on her chest while the older brother puts his hands on his knees, "Fuck me." The older brother curses.

Hoppy chuckles lightly, "Take me to date first." she jokes.

Nearic sighs again as he rubs at his face, "Let's not wait around, we have no idea how much time Catnap's giving us." He looks back at the two, "He obviously knows where we are, we have too careful and fast. Simple in and out procedure."

Dan purses his lips as he glances at Hoppy, the toy doing the same (to the best of her ability), Nearic groans, "Grow up."

Dan snickers as he cover his mouth, "Sorry, that was too obvious."

Nearic rolls his eyes with a shake of his head, then walks out the door into the room across from him, "Just look around, the left path has a closed gate like the ones in the main lobby, didn't check if that's where it leads to or not. I'm going to follow the cable... which leads to where Catnap went."

Hoppy huffs, "I'm watching your back." she announces, doing just that.

Dan sighs as he leaves the room and heads left, walking up to the gate, he sees it leads to yet another room, which was conveniently the main lobby, "Hm, well this shouldn't be that bad."

Hoppy follows Nearic as he walks through another hole in the wall, leading to a door in another bedroom. Opening it, they reach another hallway that leads to some hole in the ceiling to their left, and a junction to their right, a cable above the two leading to an open room ahead of them where a battery and its socket lies. Nearic enters the room ahead and picks the battery off of the floor, before plugging it into the socket, quickly noticing another socket to eh left of the first.

Hoppy walks in (crouching and crab-walking through the doorway) and says, "Seems like we need another battery for the gate."

Nearic nods as he looks right, seeing a TV screen mounted on the wall with a device with a button and 2 cables connected mounted just below it, the TV stating '0% Power Night' with a blinking half sun on it, "Seems like it power more than just one gate."

He walks out of the room and walks around to the other side to eye the cables, seeing one leading where they were, and another leading to a gate just ahead of him, to a stairwell.

He looks into the small, gated window as he says, "We need another battery to open both gates, I suggest we search the path right of this room's door." Tapping the wall his aunt's in.

She takes a deep breath, "Alright, I'll take point." Nearic nods before making his way to the other side again.

Hoppy squeezes through the door and stands up, "Let's get moving." She turns right and walks towards the junction to her right, light seeping from above, Nearic following behind her.
