"I'm trying… I've only been hurting you guys… I-I'm sorry… I'll just go, I'm sorry…" Fox climbs back through the vent they came through.
"Now…Now I-I'm alone," Melanie said between sobs, "No one cares, no one's ever cared! Th-that's fine, I…I don't care about them either!" Melanie tried to convince herself, even though she knew it wasn't true.
Fox sits down near the opening to the nurse's office. Trying not to think about the situation that just happened. "I don't need them… oh what the hell am I saying. I need them, and I just fucked everything up."
"I-I'll get out of here alone, I won't need their help! I'll…I'll show them!" Melanie stood up and looked for an exit other than vents. She didn't like the idea of crawling in a cramped space again.
There's a door, there's a huge crack down the middle, almost splitting the door in two.
Fox lowers themself down again, standing about 2-3 ft away from Melanie.
"I-I need your help… I know you don't trust me and all, but… I'll help you… please?"
"I-I can trust you won't hurt me, I know that much. Don't try anything or I'll-" What can I do? "I'll leave, on my own…"
"I won't try anything, promise." Fox hugs Melanie.
"D-don't touch me!" Melanie backed away, keeping a safe distance from Fox.
"Sorry, will keep that in mind. Anyone, let's go." Fox tries the door, it's locked. (Think about the crack on the door BTW.)
(Is the crack in the door big enough so that Melanie can go through, her being skinny and all?)
(Not as much as going through, as instead breaking it.)
"I might have a idea." Fox kicks the door, it cracks even more, but won't give.
"Um, I don't know if I can help with that," Melanie kept her distance from Fox and the door.
Fox kicks again and the door breaks, he slowly pushes the hinged side open. "You first."
Jax hummed, making his way in a random direction, through the vents. "We're off to the vents, the vents, the vents." He muttered to the tune of the wizzard of oz.
"Uh…Do you mind backing away? I don't know…What if you try to grab me, like last time?"
Eventually Jax finds his way to what seems to be another cell, someone is inside still.
"You think I was trying to grab you? I was trying to give you a hug, but I'll back away nonetheless." Fox backs away from the door.
… I was going to have him find Met…//
(Oh I can change it! hold on!)
(Changed for u @SleepySnake :3)
"Okay." Melanie walks hesitantly, expecting Fox to do something, and she exits the room.
Jax looked down through the vent, his head cocked to the side as he observed.
Fox walks out after her, they both arrive in a room that Fox recognizes.
"Wait? We are back here? No, no, no no no no!" Fox backs up against the door. "I don't want to be back here, please!"
(Uh, what does the room look like?)
"What is this place?" Melanie looks around, her tone curious.
(It looks like a lab, one that Fox remembers VERY MUCH.)
"It-t's t-the lab that t-turned me i-into this. I…" Fox starts breathing heavily.
"Huh, I wonder…How exactly did you turn into that? Were you human? What'd they do? I'm curious, sorry." Melanie walks around, seeming unaffected by horror.
Fox calms themself down. "I-I am still human under this. And, I have no clue how they made me this… At least it keeps me alive." Fox follows, trying to not remember.
"Hm…It's nice, I mean, besides the fact that they did whatever they did." Melanie's curiosity grew. "I never went anywhere else other than my room, and I guess the place I was before this. That was a long time ago. When I was still a child."
"I mean, it's cool, but… nevermind about that… At least you got a room. I was just left down here, left by myself… I could hear the footsteps of everyone above, just rubbing it in that I was alone. Now at least I have you…" Fox slightly smiles
Melanie stiffens. "I agreed to help you. Not make friends with you."
"Geez, no need to be harsh. Even though you are right."
