[Y/N pov]

As we walked to this 'Mystery Shack' I wondered what the heck this place was about. Judging by the name, maybe some escape room? Or just a store with weird stuff in it? Well, I'll find out when I get there. The walk was mostly silent, except for a time I had to beat up one of those eyeballs with wings(it was getting in our way). They kinda reminded me of a character, William, from one of my hyperfixations, The Amazing World of Gumball.

When we finally made it there, I took a deep breath. Sure, the walk wasn't long, but I only exercise every Sunday. Other than that, I'm... pretty lazy. We walked inside, Wendy first. I closed the door behind me as I heard her speak, probably to the boss.

"Hey, Soos, I got another possible worker. Her name's Y/n." She said, pointing at me with her thumb. The person she was talking to had a red shriner's fez cap with a yellow question mark on it. He was a little plump and wore a suit and tie with shiny black shoes.

"A little dude? Hey, Y/n. I'm Soos, uh...I'm the boss of this place. I hear from Wendy you want to work here? Follow me." He said with a kind smile. He walked over to the desk and I followed. "Okay, before I hire you, I gotta ask a few questions."

"Okay." I replied with a shrug. He cleared his throat and started speaking. The whole scene made me feel like I was in a Family Feud speed round, answering as many questions as possible in six seconds.

"First question, why do you want to work here?"

"Well, at first I thought it'd be good to get some money coming in. Now, seeing what's here, I still want this job for the money. But also because this place is really cool."

"Sweet. Next question, how good are you at dealing with people?"

"Uh, so-so...? I don't interact with people a lot."

"Alright, interesting. Next question, what's your favorite color?"

"Uh, F/c(Favorite Color)."

"Ooh, I like that one, too. Final question. Will you promise to defend this place and its inhabitants with all you are? Will you guard it with your life?"

(I mean, maybe not my life, but...) "Sure."

"...great! You're hired! And here's your uniform!" Soos declared. He gave me a(n) f/c shirt with a question mark on it that looked like it was sorta dripping. "Cool." I said with a small smile, looking at the shirt.

"Oh, you can pick something from the gift shop, too. On the house, my treat. After that, feel free to explore! Get used to your new work surroundings!" He told me. My eyes widened. I looked around for a bit before my eyes landed on a baseball bat. And it looked like it was mad from more than just wood, too. I chuckled evily, patting it in my hand a few times.

I took up his offer  on exploring the place, and looked everywhere. Behind the desk, past the 'employees only' doors. I even went upstairs. But what I found upstairs...not something I expected.
