2.2: Overwhelming Presence
Once Caleb and Rosie got back down to the first floor, they both headed to the Cafeteria to go get breakfast. As Caleb was getting his serving of food, he noticed Akshar was glaring at him. Wondering what the big problem was, he headed over to Akshar.
“What’s the long face for, laddie?” Caleb inquired.
“What did you do to my sister?” Akshar snarled.
“Woah, easy buddy, all we did was explore the 4th floor.” Caleb replied.
Askhar sighed, before holding up his Monopad. “Apparently, that glorified panda added a messaging app to this. Want me to help you set up your account?”
Caleb closely followed Askhar’s instructions and swiftly found himself in the public group chat.
Gearhead has joined the chat.
DaPuppetMaster: Hi Caleb!!!
Gearhead: Ur Rosie, yeah?
DaPuppetMaster: yeah
GrandpaYamaoka: Oh Hi Caleb
Rinnn: CALEB
AlmightyLamb: ENOUGH ABOUT CALEB
AlmightyLamb: More about the motive
DaPuppetMaster: Yeah
Gearhead: What about the motive
AlmightyLamb: Apparently there is a sister motive
AlmightyLamb: @Gearhead check your pockets, there should be a note
Gearhead: Imma get to a more private location first
Caleb headed to the nearby male bathroom, before shutting the door to the disabled stall behind him. Checking his pockets did indeed reveal a note.
‘Askhar isn't who he says he is. He is also lying about his talent.’
Looking back at the chat, Caleb decided to do something.
Gearhead: Found the note.
DaBestBodyguard: Who is it about?
Gearhead: Speak of the devil and he may appear, it's you.
DaBestBodyguard: You can keep it. I trust you with it, since my sister told me all about you.

Gearhead: Also what's with Rosie’s username
MadHatter: You see her family has these living puppets passed down through generations
MadHatter: And thanks to the motive she got them back
Gearhead: Puppets that can kill you? Sounds like the topic of an cheesy B Horror movie
DaBestBodyguard: They’re very real I can assure you
Gearhead: Aight brb
Gearhead: But before I go, @MadHatter, assuming you are Hat Kid, I wanna talk to you in private
MadHatter: Okay quinn!!!
MadHatter has left the chat.
Gearhead has left the chat.
Caleb began to make his way over to the elevator, where he saw Hat Kid awaiting him. Smart Kid knew where to go almost immediately. He called the elevator, and when it arrived, both got on. He sent it to the just unlocked 3rd floor, and as the doors closed, he turned to Hat Kid.
“Why did you tell Rosie?” He said, suppressing the urge to snarl at the poor child.
Her eyes widened and she went as stiff as stone.
He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, pinning her to the wall of the elevator.
“Why. Did. You. Tell. Rosie.” He said, tone venomous and his eyes carrying a fire that burned brighter than the flames of hell.
“I…I-i…Akshar told me to tell him and Rosie…”
Caleb’s bright and burning fury swapped from Hat Kid to Akshar.
“Tell him I want to talk to him next.” He snarled, before he heard the elevator doors open. Setting Hat Kid down, he exited. Hat Kid, However, decided to send the elevator back down to the first floor.
Caleb looked around the 3rd floor, it seemed to be a storage area of sorts. Boxes stacked high, materials scattered about the room. He took a few that interested him and put them into his pocket. He sighed. His rage had overcome him again. He tried so hard to be good.
Then he heard screaming below him. Rin’s. Adrenaline overcame him and he sprinted down the stairs.
He then saw Rin and Kazan…And the dead and disfigured body of Rosie.
She was literally chopped into chunks, with blood all around. Large marks were also cut into the walls, too.
He heard the door open behind them. Akshar was there. He could see the dawning horror on the man’s face as the dead body announcement played. Then…an animalistic snarl escaped Akshar’s throat. Scales covered what once was his skin, and his teeth grew into fangs, a large tail burst forward from his tailbone, and his nails grew into sharp claws. He then roared loudly.
[YOU MURDERING SON OF A-]
‘Akshar’ charged Caleb and punched him in the head, HARD.
And then, everything for Caleb was black. He heard yelling, before that too faded into the abyss.
