This day [wallmark]

Scavenger hunt

     

            Only a day until the awaited ceremony.Everything was perfect,the venue was built, and the food was no problem. Hell, even DRRETRO managed to fix Wallter's suit just in time.

        But there was something strange lurking. And it wasn't going unnoticed.
A familiar group of npc's gather in Poob's apartment,them being Split,Bive,Pest, and of course Poob.

"Whats all this about Poob, Is there a suprise party?" Split asks, taking a seat on the couch beside Bive. "Nono, Dats a gud idea too but thers jus smth bothering me... :[" Poob hands them some homemade cookies and continues.
"I gots uhh a mssg from Mark dats kinda scary.."

They share a look of concern and / or curiosity at Poob.  "Well? If you're gonna invite us here, at least tell us the details!!" "Bivey- can we see the message? If you're fine with it, of course!" Split nudges at her girlfriend for the sudden remark. Poob hands her their ifone, the others scurrying behind Split to see.

The screen displayed a chat conversation from Mark from 3 days ago, which wouldn't be strange at all. That was until they read the latest message from 5 hours earlier.

"Poob listen im traped somewhre in that lobby floor behind som painting"
"If yr seein me anywher besid3s there dond trust em" The spelling of some words was wrong, and the whole thing looked like it was rushed. (This is how i write everyday lowkey)

They sit in silence, taking in what they've just read. Slowly turning to each other as if they were communicating telepathically. "This is just a sick joke. We've all seen him in the elavator." Pest comments,shrugging off what they just read. "But this isn't really like Mark to joke about something like this, especially with all the planning right now." Split reasons. "And that last part! I knew those mannequins were suspicious, and my studies were correct." Bive adds,laughing to herself.

"Pls we hav to go guys-" Poob gets up,basically pleading. "でたらめ"[bullshit].  Pest cuts them off,getting up after. "You're actually believing that shit?" "It won't hurts to look! What if Mark is in dangr??" Split listens to Poob, agreeing with them after a thought. "Poob's right.. there's no harm in checking the lobby!" "But this might be a trap. Mannequins can't be trusted!!!"
Split puts a hand on Bive's shoulder reassuringly. "Just trust me in this one, Bivey.." "...fine! Just because it's you."

The group make their way in the elavator, immediately being greeted by their concrete and wooden friends. They shuffle around,trying to fit inside. "ここはもう嫌だ." [I already hate it here]

"I am quite thirsty..say do any of you perhaps have a drink?" Wallter asks politely. "Not any right now sorry bud-" Split cuts herself off,witnessing the wooden mannequin in front of her hand Wallter a grey can. "Hold on- WHAT-"
"Mark I thought you were against that stuff!" The group stares in disbelief. "There is no reason to be against it. It is for your better good." He answers at them blanky.

"Wallter?" "Hm? Oh! He's been trying hard to change for the better lately. It's peculiar for sure!" Wallter explains,the group's shock visible.

"Where are you headed." The mannequin turns to them,giving an unsettling feel. "...." "we're uh-" "WE'RE GOING TO WATCH A SHOW IN THE LOBBY!!!" Bive reasons quickly,catching the others off guard.

"Yeah! A 'rescue mission' show!" Split adds. The wooden mannequin stares at them with a blank smile. "What a coincidence. I'm headed there too." Its voice glitches for a split second before going back to 'normal'

The elavator shook,startling most of the passengers before  its metal doors slid open. They step out, staying close to each other. "He said a painting, but there's one in every wall." Pest chitters. "There's much to discover in these walls!" "Let's check every painting without raising suspicion." They agree,checking every frame. Pest even found some coins behind a frame.

They were considering quitting and going back to their seperate ways until-

Bive notices an odd painting,pointing it out immediately. "That one's been staring at me suspiciously!" She slowly approaches it,carefully checking behind it. She tosses the frame,alerting the others. Behind where the frame stood was a hole in the wall,an unseatling wind greeting them.

"Is dis it?" "This place reeks of wood." They enter  the hole,resulting in them falling onto each other through the other side. "YEOUWCH!!!!!" They get up and navigate the dark, trying not to stray away. Poob uses their ifone light to guide them through. "Guys there's a door!" They make their way through the dark,the feeling of being watched creeping through.

They slowly open the door...

A creaky metal sliding sound screeching blasts through the place.

"Mark!!" They say in unison,finding their real wooden friend sitting in a corner. "Ye' came!" Mark hops up, greeting them.
"あれが本物だったなんて信じられない" [I can't believe that shit was real]. "What happened?! Why are you jailed here, and who did this??" They all express their worry and shock. "I'll explain later first we gotta lea-"

*BANG* * Click *
The metal door was closed on them. Shut,locked,probably even barricaded.

"Shit." "Wut the?!" "THEY LOCKED US IN!!!!!!" They take a moment to register what just happened, Bive immediately rushing to the door trying to claw it down.

"I- they musta knew yer were comin'.."
Mark sighs defeated. "LETUSOUT" Bive continuesly bangs on the door, Pest chittering behind her in annoyance.

"Mark, what is happening? Why were you trapped here- why are WE trapped now too??" Split asks, worried. "I-it's jus- I - its hard to explain, but I didn't want ye' trapped here too.." He looks down at the smooth concrete flooring. It reminded him of Wallter,how despite being 10 foot tall was gentle and patient with everyone,especially towards him.
He thinks to himself,maybe he did deserve that divorce..

"Hey im sures we're guna be okey guys! They're guna look for us!" Poob attempts to reassure the others,followed by the others sitting on the floor defeated.

"I jus' hope Wallt knows what to do.."
