[DIA] BFDI x II A Black Hole living on Earth (Book #2)

Downgrid 2

Normal P.O.V:

Back at Tree's house, he stands outside in his coat trying to jumpstart a generator. ..Which is not going rather well for him. 

Tree: HRRG! Come on, I know it's been a good while but you can't just quit on me! 

???: Hi Tree!! 

Tree: Marker, Is that you? You sound awful. 

Fanny: Got ya! It's me Fanny, and my voice is NOT horrible. It's hoarse, yelling at everyone for a portion of your life does that to your vocal cords. 

Marker: Hi guys! Hi Fanny, your voice is so hoarse. It's like if sandpaper and a chalkboard has a sound baby. 

Fanny: See? The mentally challenged one gets it.  

Pin's voice: aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-!

Remote: Aaaaaaaaaaaa-

Gaty: AAAAAAAAHHHHHH-!

Similarly to the last time she did this, Pin comes rocketing over with Gaty & Remote on her back and unable to stop. This time however it's mostly because of how little she can see and the as a result the three end up crashing into a couple of trash cans.

*SMASH*

Dizzy Pin struggles to get up until Tree goes over to help the girls. Lightning follows along with Liy, Pen and Bottle on a Fourse. 

Fourse: *WHINNY*

Bottle: Good horsie. 

Liy: Glad to see most of us are here. Robot Flower, Pillow and Pie couldn't show up?

Lightning: Robot Flower wanted to stay with Basketball and Grassy, Pillow just didn't want to come and I think Pie is just sleeping through it. 

Liy: Sounds like Pie. 

Tree: I've been trying to get my backup generator running but it just. won't. start!

Liy: Let's just get inside already. 

The group head into the house and Tree takes out some snacks and jugs of water. The place was barely illuminated by battery powered lanterns scattered about. 

Bottle, Remote and Cherry Jr made a pillow fort out of the couch and some of Jr's bedsheets, Gaty helped Tree make sure everything was unplugged to prevent surge damage, Pin tried to sleep as to conserve energy while everyone else sat or paced around trying to entertain themselves. 

Pen: This sucks!

Pin: You could sleep through this like me Pen. 

Pen: I can't really sleep without putting some sound on. 

Liy: It's true, we were having a slumber party when the power went out. 

Lighting: What do you listen to Pen? 

Pen: rain noises. 

Tree: Hm maybe I should try that, I've been having some sleep troubles lately. 

Pen: Oh yeah, I highly recommend. I play a video of rain sounds on loop and put my phone face down and the moment I shut my eyes.. boom, out like a light. Otherwise I'm just in bed starring at the ceiling. 

Liy: Let's try and pass the time, who knows how long it'll take for everything to be back online. Anyone got ideas. 

Tree: I have some card games. 

The group would then do some things together to keep themselves occupied, Pin still slept through it. Tree, Liy, Pen and Bottle played poker with crackers. Gaty, Remote and Cherry Jr grabbed papers and scissors to make paper dolls, Marker taught Fanny how to play the pokermon card game and Lightning had a bit of a photoshoot with Planty outside. 

Bottle: King me! 

Bottle throws down a hand of kings and takes all the crackers. 

Pen & Tree: UGH!/Aw come on!

Liy: Not fair! She doesn't even know what we're playing!

Bottle: Is it Go fish? 

Cherry Jr: What do you think? 

Gaty: Looks great Jr! 

Lightning: Okay give me pouty. 

Planty: *pouts* 

Lightning: Alright now give me fierce!

Planty: BLRAAAAAAAGH!!

Lightning: YIKES! Mmmaybe a bit less fierce? Like just a little rawr.

Planty: ...? Rawr!

Lightning: Love it! You are really photogenic for a living fossil. 

Planty: *bashful plant noises*

Fanny: So how exactly do you win?

Marker: You have to take all of the opponent's prize cards, having the opponent run out of cards works too though. 

Fanny: And.. what about these cards? 

Marker: Trainer cards give effects to support players. 

Pen's phone then buzzes lightly with a notification prompting him to check when he notices the top of the screen. 

Pen: Hey the phonelines are back on!

Everyone else checks their phones as they also hear dial tones. 

Gaty: Oh it is!

Liy flips a switch multiple times. 

Liy: But the power is still down. Better than nothing at least.

Everyone else looks to see Tree frantically dialing up a number and waiting for an answer, which wasn't long. 

Black Hole's voice: Hello-?

Tree: Hey sweetie it's Tree, sorry for the sudden cut the phone lines were taken down. 

Black Hole: I thought it was something like that-

Pen: BLACK HOLE YO!

Bottle: YAY!

Pin: *yaaawwwwnnn*

The whole group suddenly surround Tree talking over each other to Black Hole, much to Tree's heavy annoyance. 

Black Hole: WOAH WOAH WOAH! When did a gathering happen?

Liy: EVERYONE QUIET!

Everyone: .....

Liy: Most of us met at Tree's place when the phone lines and electricity went out. The electricity is still out by the way. 

Black Hole: That's unfortunate. 

Marker: Where are you now Black Hole? 

Black Hole: At a city full of water. They use these boats called gondolas to get around. 

Pin: Ooh Ooh! That's Venice Italy! I've always dreamed of going there with Coiny!

Black Hole: It's really fascinating how your planet has so many cultures, and they're all very impressive.  

Lightning: You're gonna LOVE Tokyo Japan then Black Hole, it's the birth home to many video games and media, like Pokemon!

Black Hole: I'm not on vacation Lightning, this is a serious mission of cleaning up my almost world ending mess. 

Black Hole: Buuut.. I may or may not take a look around IF a rift happens to be there.

The gang talk with Black Hole for the rest of the night and early morning.
