^ chapter creation date will always be at the top! It is not the date of what's happening in the book.

!Current note! (10/12/24)
I stated this in one of the chapters but the date format is MM/DD/YY

Chapters 1-4 are OLD, short, and I didn't know what I was doing so my apologies for that. I've aged up 2 levels so that's gotta count for something, I again stated this in a note but reader is around 14-16.

Gender neutral, clothes won't be that specific. This won't be totally accurate to the evade lore because I didn't actually know much about it when I started this. I promise it'll get better from after chap 5, bare with me

I MIGHT fix the chapters 1-4 because uhm.. they're not the best to say the least. I saw a book with the name of one of my chapters and there's absolutely NO way that's a coincidence but the thought of addressing that I'm uncomfortable scares me so whatever!!!

I'm gonna rename this from "Roblox Evade" to "Countdown Till Mayhem" because the title is literally so BLAND, didn't expect this to actually get read.

Most of the information in notes can be seen in this because I'm reiterating a majority of what I say, my memory isn't that good so I forget when I've already mentioned something

I'm so sorry if people read this and other notes are irrelevant.

Chapter Text

It was a Saturday, you were planning to sleep in but your mother woke you up in a rush and dragged you out of bed, you were ushered to look at the TV.
---
"Mom..? It's so early what do you want"
you said still sleepy from being woken

"N/N (nickname) it's an emergency alarm, we need to watch"
your mother said in a panicky tone

Emergency Lockdown Protocol
This is not a drill, I repeat - this is not a drill.
Gather all your food, water, first aid and other necessities such as batteries.
We do not know how long this lockdown will last but it is issued that everyone lock their doors, windows and any other entrance to your household, board it up or at minimum cover it with anything you may have lying about.
Turning off your wifi is highly recommended for safety.
If your household has a bunker or basement going into hiding there would be your best option.
May our Gods be with us all.
End of Emergency Lockdown Protocol

Your dad who was on the other side of the couch, originally wasn't paying attention but now he's on full alert, whilst on the other hand your mother had a shocked and worried look on her face.

Obviously your ## year old self wasn't going to believe such nonsense like that right? You could barely last a day without WiFi!

"Oh cmon dad, do we really have to get rid of the wifi?!"

"N/N, this is an actual emergency so we have to. Be some help will ya and go help your mother with boarding up the house"

"Fine fine"

Timeskip_1hour

Seeing your house so blocked from the outside world really didn't feel right at all, it felt so eery.
-----
Timeskip_2hours
-----
How long was this going to last? You're getting bored of your offline games and starting to miss talking to your friends. Maybe a nap would be nice.
-----
Timeskip_6hours
-----
That sure was a long nap. It's 8pm now, it's time to get a glass of water.

You quietly open your bedroom door and walk over to the kitchen, you're quite weary of your surroundings.. it's so quiet it just doesn't feel right at all.

You somehow manage to quietly pour yourself a cup of water, you drink it and put the cup back where it was, out of curiosity you decide to take a peek out of the kitchen window
'how?' you may ask since it's all boarded up
When you were boarding the windows you left just a tiny peep hole to see through.

You take a look and..
'what was that thing running by? no one should be out in this kind of situation..'
You think to yourself

Now weirdly creeped out you make your way to your room and go back to bed.

-----
Timeskip_8hours

You wake up to the sounds of screaming from a few blocks outside your house.

Your mother came into your room a few seconds after

"Sweetie, I think it's best we hide.. I'm starting to actually believe there really is something wrong happening. Me and your dad will be in another room, we love you."

"Okay then..? I love you too mom by the way, tell dad I love him too"

"Stay safe please.."

And with that your mother left, you don't really have a hiding spot in your room so you just took a spare blanket and pillow and hid under your bed, pulling some of your bed sheets over the edge to hide yourself more because cmon you're not THAT stupid right?...right??

Chapter Text

You were just about to fall asleep again when suddenly you heard banging on coming from the front door

The sounds of wood cracking.. then breaking and a loud thud, loud footsteps could be heard dashing through your house and you would have thought it was an earthquake if you were oblivious to the situation. something is in your house.

You had spare shoeboxes under your bed, they were behind you but you moved them infront of you to cover yourself better

(I'm not gonna make y'all stupid 😒)

another bang - it went to your parents room
screams - is mom ok?
gun shots, a loud crack and thud, the sounds of ripping - what's happening out there..?

The sounds came to an end but not for long, one after the other it began barging into different rooms.

you heard the bathroom door get broken open, and then the pantry and it wasn't long before it was gonna get into yo-

with a loud thud and crack into your door it was there, but.. why could you hear crunching..?

You could see a bit from under your bed but not very well - it gets a bit higher near the edge of the covers

[there was an image here, I'll figure out how to add it another day]

[Img description: Readers view from under the bed, a few shoe boxes are infront of them and the corner of the bedsheet is raised which lets the reader actually see stuff. From the view they get they can see a pair of black boots with a bit of blood on them and hair presumably from a head hanging just out of view as blood drips from it aswell]

It was standing there but why's there.. hair..? You couldn't tell properly but it was soaking blood onto the floor.

thud

You were horrified, it was your mother's decapitated head.

She had an expression of horror on her face

Sure she was mean to you at times but she didn't deserve this, not at all.

you had to lay there and stare for a minute before it turned around and left.

You got up from under the bed and walked out into the main area and it was just pure blood shed

Your father's mangled corpse lay on the kitchen island, torso open and organs spilling, infact there were a few of his limbs around other parts of the kitchen and living room.

But your mother's body? Well obviously it didn't have the head because the head's on your bedroom floor but her actual body? It had slices around the neck, arms and legs which were cut off but not far from the body.

Her head had flesh exposed on the forehead and eyes you could only imagine were gouged out.

You have to leave this place.

You ran back to your room and threw on a quick outfit, actually you nudged the head outta your room cause cmon, you don't want it staring at you.

You grabbed a bag and you filled it with stuff:

-food

-water

-bandages

-blanket

That was about it because you wanted some extra space if you found anything cool

And there you were, running out of your house.

You ran and ran until you noticed something appear on the back of your hand;

[there was an image here, I'll figure out how to add it another day]

[Img description: It was an unfinished drawing of reader's left hand with a circle on it, in the circle it said level 2. The circle was a quarter blue to indicate exp]

Level 2? What's that supossed mean..?

Anyways you found an open garage and slept behind some crates – with the blanket of course

timeskip_1week
-----
It's been a week, every now and then you've noticed these humanoid or straight up surreal figures running around the place shouting weird quotes over and over again. They don't seem human but running from them is relatively easy for the most part when you twist and turn through corners.

"HOLY SHIT HELP- AAAA-"
bonk

and now you were on the floor, but I mean you only got pushed over by the bot-with a harsh smack albeit but it's not that bad right?
the bot started dashing past you

'What the fuck??' was what you were thinking probably, you tried to stand up but to no avail, it's like there was some weight keeping you down on the floor, you could only crawl at most.

"Since when did getting up become so difficult..."

Your vision was slowly fading in and out as you've noticed

'is this the end for me?'

*Ssstt* pit pat pit pat
(cola and running sounds)

suddenly you were no longer on the floor, you could feel that someone picked you up and they're running, you still couldn't see shit btw.

"Hi! you alright? I'm not too late am i?"

you heard a soft male voice speaking

"..."
"Yeah I don't think you can respond- but I'm bringing you to the base! It's been so long since I saw another person"

You had so many questions

'Other people are alive?'
'What's happening?'
'Base..?'
'I'm hungry ngl'
'Who is this?'
Etc.

But before you knew it you were snapped back to reality, you got placed on something soft? A couch.

You felt a hand on your chest and you realised your vision was slowly coming back again

[there was an image here, I'll figure out how to add it another day - the image was also deleted on wattpad so I can't actually recover it also because it was on my old phone]

(UPD: I CHANGED MY USER!!)
(Prolly looked like this, imagine yourself under the hand bec I ain't drawing allat)

You could have sworn you saw a floating text thingy saying something like 'b is revng yo' you dunno, you couldn't see it clearly

As soon as your vision came back you sat up in a daze

"Where am I..?"

The boy retracted his hand from your chest
"Oh, you're at the base! I say the base because I'm not sure if there's other bases out there but welcome!"

He seems very talkative

"I can show you around the base and give you some information about whats going on, whatcha say?"

!from now on you talking will have a '-' as your indicator!

-"alright..?" You said still trying to comprehend everything that just happened in the past like what, 10 minuets?

Yank! and suddenly your up and off the couch being dragged via the hand, like a tour guide of sorts to not get lost

"Oh right by the way I'm Bobo, what's your name?"

-"uh.. it's-
^
[A/N]

(This is already 500 words, i plan on making this a longer chapter than the previous ones)

Updated here
Alr here we go, gonna finsih this chapter, also yur now Y/N

-small timeskip-
You were shown around the base, its mostly a long hallway that on the sides breaches out into rooms
(There was supposed to be an image here but I never added it, so ig the layout is to your imagination - 10/12/24)
^uhh kinda like this ig?

you've also been told by Bobo that he's not the only one here, and that there's a dude named jard.
Anyways enough descriptive dialog, time forrrr

"Did I mention we get teleported to random places every week?"

-"wait what"

"Yeah uh, check ur pocket"

You put your hand in your pocket not expecting anything, LOW AND BEHOLD! It's a paper.

-"wtf is this"

(A/N updated this ↓ on may1/2024 because it wasn't making sense with the lore)

•"Hi."

-"hello"

...
awkward silence much?

'Jard' Extends his hand out
you stare at it for a good second before in your head realising
'ohhh right- handshake'
You shake his hand but neither of you when to let go
Y'all were just staring at eachother like;

Bobo cuts y'alls staring contest off by grabbing you by the wrist with both of his hands to unhandshake you from Jard
·"So anyways-! I think we're running low on supplies, I'll be back in a few hours.."

You've realised that youu don't exactly have anything to do in the base.. plus being alone with someone you just met and not had such a good first impression with doesn't seem very.. fun? So you decide to-

-"Can I also come?"

·"oh sure!! I'll grab some supplies for you too then just wait there a minute or 10"

Chapter Text

-------
While Bobo walked away to go get some stuff you were just left alone with Jard who excused himself to "unpacking" so you kinda just stood in the living area.

Using this time to examine your surroundings you noticed how the windows were boarded off, the strange looking effect infront of the entrance,
(a barrier but you don't know that)

really thinking about it you realise you didn't properly check the paper, digging back into your pocket you scan over the paper, the remaining time for the round saying 6:17

'so it was in minutes? Dang i was so close to winning- wait how long even are rounds'
Putting together the information of you have 12 wins, and its been 13 'rounds' but then again its been 7 days..?

With your super good math skills you conclude there's 2 rounds in a day. How long even are rounds? you'd need a clock to check maybe- thinking back on how- "-/N" the sun wa- "Y/N"

you're quite litrally shaken out of your thoughts by Bobo shaking you by the shoulders

"aaa- hUH huh- yea?" You take Bobo's hands off your shoulders

"you kinda zoned outt, I mean it's either that or you like aggressively staring at walls- anyway I brought you something" while speaking that last bit he handed you a bag

"thanks" you looked a bit through the bag, noting that inside was a few sodas, a flashlight and a radio?

"the sodas give a speed boost" he added when you noticed them

"really? That's interesting.. also I've been meaning to ask but how long are the rounds anwyay?" putting the bag on your back, it's suspiciously light for all that's inside it

"oh they're uhh" *think* "-10 hours each, there's one hour after each for break or something, since there's minutes till that break I figured it would be a good time to go get supplies" he said lifting the garage type door

"cmon let's go" he grabbed your hand lightly and started walking out

You realise this is a garage only now cause you never really turned around to face the door, on further inspection you realise you're in a house

'why not use the front door?'
Then you remember how YOUR front door got broken into

Breaking out from your trance you realise you're already out the base and being pulled along by Bobo

"what time is it..?" You question because you forgot to ask a moment ago

"it's 11:03, we're going to a store but I'm not sure where else we can check, any ideas?"

"A pharmacy or a veterinary, they usually have the same medicine as pharmacies and people don't tend to check them."
((☝️🤓) (I like random knowledge)
[^ this entire part was supposed to be deleted but it didn't save so uh now its there and I'm embarrassed - 10/12/24]

"that's actually a really good idea- let's go check those another time, I saw a store around this corner let's check the storage of it" He approves of your idea and shortly you arrive at the store which already looks half looted

Bobo is already heading to the back of the store so you decide to browse the snack isle, lucky for you most of it is still there since most people wouldn't consider snacks filling enough for the situation you're in.

Taking some snacks or candy bags of your choice you shove them in your bag, shuffling around to keep the stuff Bobo gave you on top of the snacks.

You also went and grabbed some water, vegetables, tea bags cause why not, and honey cause it doesn't spoil.

You found some sacks used for rice and moved the stuff you found into it, you also got another sack and put some actual rice in it (assuming you are able to boil water),

scanning with your eyes there wasn't much else you could grab that was of use, finishing with grabbing stuff you thought was relavant you went to go get Bobo but he was already leaving the stock room

"You done? I found some canned food, cereals and other stuff" He said as he gestured at the stock room behind him

"Yea, I found something we can put those in" gesturing to the sack you were holding, (you put the rice sack inside the other)

"Can I-" You interrupt him by just holding out the sack with the opening pulled so it's easier to put stuff in

"-thanks c:" Bobo takes the stuff he was carrying and puts them into the sack

"how much time do we have left?"

"abouut uh 26 mins, we should head back before the bots come out again cmon lets go, I'll carry that" he tries grabbing the sack from you

"no! No- it's fine I can carry it"

"ya suree?"

"Yep yea totaally" (not) you say confidently as you swing the sack over your shoulder

Walking back to the base you're left wondering what Bobo meant by "switch map" or something along those lines, concluding you've already asked him way too many questions for the day you just decide to wait and see. How does he even know so much about what's happening anyway?

"Y/N." The way Bobo said your name felt a bit unsettling, this time it sounded.. stern?"

"hmm?" Why would he say it like that (Sweatdrop)

"are you alright-? You keep spacing out.." oh he's just worried for you (how cute :3)

"yea just.. confused from everything that's been happening these past few days"

·"Well-! I'm sure the world will work itself back out again, just gotta stay positive y'know?"

that's why the UEC exists ingame
(NO IT'S NOT - 10/12/24)

'how the hell am I supposed to stay positive when my parents just died..'

"Oh look we're back" You said as you were met with the sight of the base yet again, strange blue particles at the door (you should ask about it)

"By the way Bobo, what are.." finger poke at the barrier "..these?"

"ohh they're barriers, I managed to buy them in the store"

"store?" You looked at him in confusion

"the thing I was tryna show you before Jard came back, I could ask him to teach you about it"

"sure that would be.. helpful?" It sounded absolutely dreadful, but maybe this time your interaction with Jard won't be as awkward, hell maybe you'll actually get to be friends with him, I mean you consider Bobo your friend now right?

Setting the stuff you brought from your little adventure down, being back in what you consider safety you're hit with a wave of drowsiness

Bobo pats you on the head
"I'm going out again, just gonna grab some water, you can stay here for the time being or don't" promptly he walked into a different room

The couch looking admirably comfortable in the moment you decide it's a nice place to take a quick nap, collapsing onto the couch it's not long till you're in the land of dreams.. well in this case a nightmare really considering the past few days having a toll on you

When you wake up you feel considerably comfier than when you fell asleep, there was a pillow under your head and a blanket on you. Sitting up and rubbing the tired out of your eyes you see Jard on the other end of the couch sitting while presumably also taking a nap, getting off the couch you take the blanket off you and put it on Jard instead.

Not really knowing what to do you sort of pace around the base, taking in your surroundings which are considerably messy, deciding to try help out a bit you go over to the kitchen and start organising.

Your activities come to a halt when you feel a hand on your shoulder, you freeze.

"..what are you doing?" Jard says then spins you around to face him, hand still on shoulder

"I uh uhm- organising..?" starting to become unsure of what you were doing again

Titling his head to see past you, he saw that you have indeed organised the kitchen, quite a lot actually

"Sure, uh Bobo asked me to teach you about the shop thing while he was out"

"Oh alright then let's do that" You shrugged as he took his hand off you

Small timeskip, y'all basically spent an hour figuring out the shop and how other stuff worked, it took a while so at some point you both sat on the floor. it had been about 5 hours since Bobo left the base and you were starting to wonder when he'd come back

It really is starting to feel like some sort of sick game isn't it?

"aaaand yea that's basically it" he said as he cracked his knuckles

"that's- a lot to take in" you said as you felt your stomach grumble

"ya hungry?" Jard spoke, raising an eyebrow

"yea.. should we make food for Bobo too?" You stand up, extending a hand to Jard who takes it and pulls himself up, you stumble a tad but it's whatever

"probably, I mean I'm also hungry so he probably is too.." dragging out that last word, his eyes wandering to the counter to consider which food options y'all got

"does the stove work.?" You abruptly spit out

"what? The st- err I haven't actually checked"

"YOu- you haven't even used it the whole time you were here??" You almost yell in shock but contain yourself, drawing a sharp breath in you speak again
"what have you guys even been eating the past week-" adding on to your sentence

"food" Jard interrupts

Raising an eyebrow as to question him, he continues
"there's been food in the rest of the house so we've been eating that however.. well obviously it won't last forever so only recently we have been worrying about it"

'is this guy serious right now?'
You thought to yourself, unawarely deadpan staring at him

Blink
Blink

You walk over to the stove and click it on, to your favour it flicks to life. Recalling what food you've seen you think of bread, with bread you can make toast right?

Wouldn't you need a pan for that.. plans to scavenge the house come to mind but it would probably be more polite to just ask him if they have pans

Jard just watches as you start to stir into thought then proceed look around the kitchen in search for something

"you look like you have an idea" he spoke, well he wasn't necessarily wrong about that because you did have somewhat of an idea

"toast" is what you mumbled out, looking through the kitchen because you already forgot where you've placed it

"We don't have a toaster.. oh right the stove, but don't you need a pan for that? because I don't think you're gonna put the bread directly on the fire"

you nod at his statement, Jard with an idea of how to help now starts opening the cabinets in search of the aforementioned pan.

"How come you don't know where they are?" Assuming he lived here, obviously someone would know where they place their own kitchenware is but doesn't seem like it appearently

"This isn't my house, it's Bobo's" He speaks, having landed his eyes on a pan Jard pulls it out from the cabinet
"ya found the bread?" He looks over at you

"yup" you say while untying the plastic knot of the bread's bag, Jard placed the pan on the stove and quickly grabbed a spatula of the sorts

"so- care to elaborate on what you said earlier?" grabbing two slices of bread you dropped them onto the pan, turning the stovetop on to roughly the same temperature of a toaster on medium heat

"Sure err well before all this weird stuff happened, I was staying over here with him because his parents were on some trip or something along those lines so he invited me over for a few nights."

You nod at him to continue, attentively listening as the bread toasts slowly, he flips the slices as you go grab a plate for when they're toast

(ramble incoming)
"and as you know, those weird err 'bot'? thingies broke into our world so the night it happened we hid in the attic and when morning came there was some weird announcement note appeared out of thin air, it felt so unreal. Basically it described how this stuff is all going to work, did you not get the note? Because you seem to be clueless"

By the time Jard finished explaining the toast was already a nice golden brown and a new set of bread slices were roasting on the pan, a bit more this time than the first set

"well about that.. I didn't exactly stay in my house during the night? I just hid somewhere and when I got up started running around only to get jumpscared by those god awful bots. Maybe I did get the note but didn't see it?"

Jard was going to say something but suddenly you heard the entrance door lifted open and dropped close with an abrupt slam.

Both you and Jard had a reaction, he turned off the stove while you bolted out to the garage, you see none other than Bobo, he looked absolutely dazed with a few minor bruises on him.

Rushing to his aid you grab him by the shoulders lightly shaking him, the same way he did to you earlier in the day, by now the sun was nearly past the horizon.

"Hey! Hey? Are you alright? Where have you been..?" You stare at him in concern

"Some bot wouldn't stop chasing me and it was pretty fast :c" .. "gaah my legs hurt" his short explanation was enough you needed to hear, with a small sigh you wrapped your arm under his and around his waist as you assisted him in walking

"We made toast, we also made some for you so you should probably eat considering how worn out you're looking right now" You fixed his hair a tad because it was getting in his face, can't have poor Bobo tripping on something now

"toast? I love toast!!1!1!! Also the bot chasing me reminded me of sonic so maybe that's why it was fast" he exclaimed, you made it to the kitchen and see Jard has buttered the toast, mentally you noted butter is one of the ingredients you have available

"Jeez what happened Bobo?" Jard muttered out, already having bitten some toast

"Bot didn't wanna give up chasing him it seems" seeing a dining area you walk Bobo over there and seat him on a chair, Jard brings the plate of toast over to the table aswell

taking a seat for yourself you sit down and grab a peice of toast, biting into it, it tasted.. really good, afterall it's probably the first actual peice of food you've had since this whole ordeal started. Taking another bite it surely tasted better than the rations you had with you.

There was a somewhat comfortable silence resting over all of you, the occasional sound of munching on toast interrupting every so often, as all of you finsihed eating at roughly the same time Bobo stood up

"I'm gonna go like- bandage these" gesturing at the bruises he got, presumably from bumping into things while running

"don't take too long" you say, he nods then walks into the garage again

...

...

with a short sigh you fold your arms onto the table and rest your head on them, you hear Jard get up from his chair and a few muffled sounds to your left.

You feel your head get nudged a few times so you look up to see who could be disturbing your eye rest, it's non other than Jard with a cup of water, which he then places next to you

"I'm going to the garage with Bobo, you should probably drink that then join us. We're gonna find out what happens at midnight"

Sitting back up you take the cup and drink it at your usual pace then get up to go join the others. Walking into the garage you see Bobo sat on the couch, and Jard sat on the floor on the side of couch opposite to Bobo, you take the gist to sit on the side opposite to Bobo but still somewhat in the middle.

"what time is it?" you look at Jard, he usually has a timer on him

"11:56 .. I'm still uncertain for what's to happen, I mean we're at the end of the week right? End of the rounds too"

"we'll just hope it isn't something drastic I guess" you speak

"..right" Jard agrees, Bobo nodded too

As the minutes clicked down the timer hit 00:00, you felt your eyelids get heavy.. no.. not just your eyes but your whole body felt like it was being weighed down, you started panicking but you fell limp before you could say anything. White flashed in your vision before fading to black.

end of chapter

Chapter Text

---------

As you wake up from essentially getting knocked out you rub your eyes, the situation of what happened setting in as you look around you.

You're the first one up clearly as to your right you see Bobo slumped into the couch with his visor fallen on his face somehow and infront of you on the floor Jard is still passed out.. and in a position that doesn't look good for any of your bones.

Night has passed, you can tell because there's sunlight creeping through the boarded up windows. Should you panic now or later?

"Bobo? Wakey wakey.." shaking him by a shoulder, he didn't react

A cup of water sounds nice though, you fix Bobo's visor back on his head and get up, careful not to step on Jard

Standing there for a second you wonder how strong you actually are and contemplate moving Jard off the floor. Never know unless you try, right?

Pulling your arms under him you (with difficulty) manage to place him on the couch where you were previously sitting, you grab his timer from the floor since it fell out and check the time

( [5:33] )

you usually get up for school at that time..

Putting the timer somewhere by Jard's side you head off to the kitchen and grab some water using the cup you left out last night.

So much has happened and there's never been time to really comprehend it, everything has just been passing and going. How are your friends doing? Are they even alive?

Before you know it you're sipping on an empty cup and put it in the sink, you try to look out the window but it's just the sun.. which is odd because it's coming from all the windows

You try pry off a board but it doesn't budge at all so you give up and look around you, you realise you don't exactly know anything about the layout of the base you've learned to call a home or something

Setting off to a new objective you walk around the place, for starters you already know where the bathroom is because you've seen Bobo go in there saying something along the lines of 'gonna shower'
(This happened, I just didn't write it, trust)

Branching off into the hallway you find some sort of study, some shelves filled with books and files which you wont bother to look through, the room didn't seem important so after taking a quick look you exited.

You didn't make it that far down the hallway before finding a point of interest, it was a wall with picture frames on it.

There's a photo of Bobo as a kid with one of his parents behind him, squatting to better fit into the photo though your not sure because it seems water damage got through some of the frames.

It reminds you of your parents, though they may not have been the best they at least tried a bit, you tried not to remember what happened to them to not throw up.

The distant sound of talking is heard from the common area (garage) so you figure you should head back, so you do.

"We thought you disappeared!!" Bobo near shouted at you, he seemed frantic but relieved you are infact still alive

"Where even were you?" Jard turned away from Bobo to face you, the question giving you a second to decide between the truth or lying

It didn't feel right to just tell them you looked around the house while they were unconscious, now that it's worded it sounds like you were trying to steal something so you chose the latter option of your decision

".. I went to the bathroom?" Wow, totally convincing tone of voice (sarcasm)

Jard raised an eyebrow at that, he did NOT buy what you said but dropped the topic anyways. Unlike Bobo who wasn't focused on the question of where you went off to

"-anyway uh.. shouldn't we go check out what's happened outside?" you suggest to the pair who have been reminded about the event

"Yeah probably! gonna go get ready-" Bobo rushed off to go get his kit as per usual, followed by Jard who also went to get his stuff

You utilized the bathroom to change into some clean clothes, using mostly yours but also a shirt Jard let you have because you lacked some

It was a simple white button up which he gave you but it was clean clothing none the less, you found a way to pair it nicely with what you already had

Meeting up with the others you all stood infront of the garage door, collectively lifting it to see.. black? It was pure void outside the door

"Well that's new" you remarked at the sight, Jard suspiciously eyed the nothingness

Y'all sorta stood there not knowing what to do before Bobo grabbed both you and Jard and dragged you out the door

before you could protest his sudden action you blinked and the environment changed when your eyes reopened, the others also noticed as Bobo paused, he had a shocked expression on his face from what you could tell

The light above you flickered on and it must have been powered by the heavens or something because you could have sworn you just got flashbanged, bringing your arm to sheild your eyes you notice something..

Well a nice thing is that that stupid mark on the back of your hand is gone, the other thing is now you have some sorta watch..? Not sure what it really is but it seems to have the stuff you had to struggle to find out before

Guess you can say there was an update to the game.. as a saying of course. You clicked something on it that looked like a power button and lo' and behold it turned on with some weird square with a square shaped hole in the middle of it as a buffering/loading symbol
(Roblox logo)

Before you could even click any icons or whatever it gave you some sort of Achievement saying "Pre-Alpha Tester"

Oh please Alpha is too little for us sigmas /j

When the pop up shortly dismissed itself the device seemed to be pretty easy to use, clicking a few things you managed to pull some sorta info panel up

.. isn't that the thing you had on a printed paper..? Maybe thinking too hard about it wouldn't be beneficial

It had only been a minute or maybe two since you actually got in the new map, not sure what Bobo or Jard were doing while you were fiddling with the watch because you weren't paying attention.

"So-" you get cut off by the sound of something, you would have thought it was a human goofing around but it just had this weird echo to it

You all as a group collectively look at the hall from where the sound came from..

"XBOX LIVE!!!!!!!"

[there was an image here, I'll figure out how to add it another day]

[Img description: litrally just an image of the Brody nextbot]

(This stupid mf)

As it rounds the corner you get a good sight at the being- nextbot, it looked cartoony to say the most, it was humanoid but not quite there. But oh well clearly no time to think because it was gliding right at ya, that's right, gliding. It was making the motion of running but it was moving farther than it's steps were landing! How unfair for you.

"Scatter!" Bobo yelled before sprinting off down the opposite corridor, Jard following after

Not wanting to quite die yet you run down some random hallway, many twists and turns and at some point you heard a commotion

You peek around the corner the noise seems to be coming from and.. wow what a sight

There was a girl strangling some poor dude, they were yelling at eachother in what you assumed to be Russian? Not quite sure but they were panicking about something

[there was an image here, I'll figure out how to add it another day]

[Img description: The short white haired girl strangling the guy as he flails his arms, idk how to describe it but these background characters will appear again. Read the bottom part of the end note for finding the image]

She appeared to have a stupid looking stethoscope while he has some sorta medkit on his back, also weird choice to wear a skirt during this sort of situation.

(will put the translation at the end of the chapter)

You ain't dealing with that

'Leave him alone!' You think to yourself as you walk back the way you came and go down a different direction

...

Hooray! After too long of walking you see a person crawling on the floor bleeding, now's your time to shine

You briefly remember how Bobo put his hand on you and suddenly you felt okay again so you did that

Placing your dominant hand on their back some sorta loading thing appeared on your watch, while it did absolutely nothing about the bleeding they appeared to be fine.

"You good?" You lend a hand out to them, not that they can see it, they're litrally on all fours on the ground

They ran off.. man not even a 'thank you' for litrally saving their life, you mentally cursed them and their mother for that

Continuing to just stroll around the facility until maybe something happens or you run into someone you end up seeing a few barriers after what seemed like forever, well they're sorta shattered on the ground but still! Someone was here earlier

You can hear the sound of a bot nearby but surely its not headed your direction, right?

As you pass through another room you see a person running towards you, she trips on her shoelace (stupid ahh) and looks up at you with absolute terror on her face as she scrambles to get up

"PLEASE, HELP ME, IT'S COMING"

Not sure what she meant by 'it's coming' you were walking over to her to revive the girl and- HOLY SHIT IT'S THE BOT

You backtrack your steps a ton and eventually hit the wall, the girl did get to her feet but it was too late, the bot already caught up and with a slash her head came clean off

It rolled against your feet as you looked at it both with disgust and horror. Decapitation.. heads rolling near you.. wait that sounds familiar

'Mom?'

You freeze up, flashbacks of the memory of your mother's detached head. The way blood was dripping from it, how her eyes had rolled into her skull, the way her jaw hung open and cracked as her head was dropped to the ground

The memory was buried somewhere in your mind previously, you didn't want to remember that. It felt all too real, it IS real

Suddenly before the bot could end your life aswell everything swoops in a blur, you're being carried by someone. Your arms and part of your upper body were thrown over their shoulder, the rest of their arm held onto your back

It wasn't the securest of holds but clearly no time to worry when there was impending doom on your tail, well, not yours but whoever was holding you

Speak of which, they looked familiar .. wait a damn minute it's the guy who was getting choked out earlier

"You need to keep moving, stupid." He said as he proceeded to gracefully toss you to some random section, he stood still momentarily and you took the hint to sprint because your life depended on it

After you started running he did aswell, the bot following after him specifically. Since you were looking back to see if the bot was following you or not you ended up tripping down a staircase

Ouch, you rolled your ankle, managed to scrape both your arms, AND hit your head, very fantastic

After maybe another hour of nothing happening and helping a few people here and there (most of them atleast said their thanks) you managed to regroup with Jard by some random corner room with two entrances

Bobo was still nowhere to be seen, Jard pulled out his timer and thank whoever wrote this because it said there was only like 40 minutes till this round was over

Now listen, 40 minutes may seem like a long time but truly it pales in comparison to the rest of the 4 hours you spent in this place

"You have a radio, right?" Jard asked you, nudging you

Currently you were sat on a box as he tried fixing your ankle back in place while you bandaged your arms up, your head situation wasn't that bad but you did get a headache and a bruise

"I think I do? What for?" You questioned back at him as you continued twirling the gauze around your arm

"So we could contact Bobo, maybe see where he is" he finishes up bandaging your ankle- a bit more than your ankle but its for the same thing.

"Alright but not sure how he'd find us" you said half sarcastically

There was currently a stick found somewhere inside the bandage too to help you not twist it again, he gave the makeshift cast a slap before standing from his kneeling position

"We'll figure it out" Jard replied to you

You reach into the bag you have and fish out the radio, handing it to Jard to use because well.. yeah no, no idea how to use a radio

It took a while but eventually Jard managed to get Bobo to the location y'all were at, you were just laying on the box with your arms over your eyes because curse those facility lights

A beep was heard from all your watches, you raise your- now bandaged arms off your face to look at the watch

{ [HEAD BACK TO SPAWN?] }
{ [confirm] [cancel] }

You look at eachother, Jard shrugs and clicks confirm. You do the same along with bobo

You get flashbanged AGAIN as the entirety of your vision goes white, you shut your eyes to not see the piercing light.

Briefly you feel as if you're falling, you stumble as your feet land on the ground and you open your eyes. You're back at the base, Jard is a bit behind you in the process of standing up again it seems.

Bobo also appeared but landed ontop of y'all 😓

"-ACK!" you yelped at the weight of both of them tumbled ontop of you, the sight would be comical if anyone saw it

Y'all were stacked ontop of eachother, Jard unfortunately smushed between the middle but lucky him because you're the one who kissed the hard floors

"Ouuw.." Bobo whined from you don't know what, maybe falling and hitting his stomach or something

"Get off me" Jard complained, you couldn't even say anything because you were just sulking into your new found love (the floor)

I mean c'mon you've slept with the floor, kissed the floor, what's next? Marry the floor? Actually maybe I'll just make that happen out of spite

They soon get off you and look down upon your pitiful form
(For reference imagine y/n face down on the floor with a puddle of tears underneath them, idk)

"Noo y/n don't die now!" Bobo dramatically falls to his knees beside you and shakes you like a wife and her dying husband

Jard is unamused

"My leg.." You roll over to your back and deadpan at the ceiling

"Don't worry m'lady, I'll save you!" Bobo exclaims as he scoops you up with effort
(if you're male presenting he still says that because to me m'lady is gender neutral)

"Why thank you good sir! However shall I repay you?" You entertain Bobo's dramatics and bring a hand to your forehead, feigning like a damsel in distress

Jard looks like he's regretting everything he's ever lived for as he watches Bobo (litrally) skips away with you in his arms

You end up in a bedroom you didn't know existed, pretty empty so you'd guess it was a guest room

Bobo ends up rebandaging everything but properly, he did use povidone-iodine (betadine) on the rashes you got on your arm which hurt worse than the fact your ankle is twisted but that's fine

With a makeshift icepack (ice cube wrapped in a cloth) against your forehead you were forced to be bedridden because something along the lines of "not my fault if those come undone by you walking around", whatever

suddenly you woke up, whoopsy fell asleep.. man what time even is it,

"Jard seriously needs to get more of those clock things" mumbling to the empty bedstand next to you

The time currently wasn't the problem, the absolute freezing temperature that was your room was

With your leg in a cast and no crutch you contemplate crawling on the floor but c'mon, you are NOT stooping that low

So as the wall as your best friend (support) you make your way out the room, all the lights in the hall were off and turning them on felt indecent so blindly going through the dark it was!

.
.

you bump into something

wait what?

"Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Jard whispers at you

"Shouldn't you be too?" You shoot back, also in a hushed tone

"Thirsty" the sound of a cup being placed on a counter can be heard

Oh you made it to the kitchen

"Now why are you up, let alone out of bed" he pokes your forehead (ow bro, it's bruised leave it alone)

"Cold" you simply state, honestly if you didn't feel like getting out of the room you might have tried crawling under the bed for warmth

"did Bobo not get you a blanket.. hold on uh- follow me" and he walks past you, hey not fair! Over here limping and he expects you to just catch up

"Wait dammit-" you follow after him, he must be walking slowly because you easily find your way behind Jard

Some sort of cabinet is opened from next to you, along with the shuffling of fabrics before it's closed and Jard nudges you with something

"Thanks" you take it from his hand and he closes the cabinet

Oh hey its (obviously) a blanket! But not only that, it's made out of a fabric you like so that's a bonus

"Do you need help back to your room?"

"Probably"

another few words exchanged and you're being guided by Jard back, you sorta just held the hem of his shirt like a lost kid

"So, uhm how's your ankle" the silence is broken by him asking a question

"Hurts but probably will heal soon- hopefully" not too sure on how long it would take to heal but it wasn't that bad

With a bit of fumbling Jard then opened your door, he gestured but because it's way too dark you couldn't see said gesture

"My room is 2 doors down if you need something I guess" he gave you a pat on the head before going in the direction of his room

You didn't get to reply but whatever, you've gotten a blanket now time to go back to sleep.

Every problem can be for another day for now you suppose
