"You three are here by forbidden to go-"
5 visibly winced at each word.
" On any more of your exploring adventures into the emptiness!"
9 and 7 gave 1 a defiant look of rebellion. Just because they brought back a whole bunch of items, one including an old battery operated radio didn't mean that any of those machines had followed them back to the sanctuary. All three of them made sure of that.
" Are you willing to sacrifice our safety and have most of us be killed again?! We were lucky this time, but what about the next time? How lucky will we be then?!" 7 for once could not think of anything to say while 9 in the mean time slouched a little, optics lowered to the floor in guilt.
He knew he had made a mistake and he regretted it, yet all had been forgiven when those who died had miraculously revived. 1 took a little longer, but after he gave the youngest of them a smack upside the head, a short lecture, minor death threats and finally a heart felt thank you did things return to how things had been before he had woken up the machine.
Around him he heard 1 and 7 argue back and forth, he didn't bother to look up at either of them; guilt now eating away at his insides. Only when he felt 5 lightly nudge him did he raise his he head and see the reason his friend had done so.
For behind 1 at the very end of the throne room was 3 and 4. With what looked like miniature toy cars under their feet. Both stitch punks wore helmets fashioned out of whole half walnut shells, stuffed each with a small pillow and rope strap. Around their waists was a rope each supporting larger pillows to their backs and rears. 2 must have done that for them while they were out.
5 and 9 watched the twins glide hand in hand past an oblivious 1, still arguing with 7. 7 on the other hand once she caught sight of the skating twins stopped her response, and clenched her lips together; trying hard from letting out the laugh that threatened to bubble to the surface. The image was too funny and precious.
"And another thing!-" 1 stopped in mid-rant, noticing the three pairs of eyes not focused on him. He slammed his staff onto the floor.
"Are you paying attention?!" He growled in annoyance. 1's out burst surprised 3, causing her legs to shoot from under her and backwards onto the floor, taking a unsuspecting 4 with her. The mini car she had be riding on bolted forward, flying upwards on a ramp made of an old record and was airborne for about five seconds when it finally stopped.
CRASH!!!!
Smashing through a panel of orange hued glass. A look of guilt was on their faces for a second before both bolted out of the room to escape from 1's wrath.
Speaking of 1, he whipped around to see what the source of the crash had been. Nothing out of the ordinary, except a smashed window and a miniature toy car sitting on the opposite end of the room.
"What on earth…" He muttered lightly to himself, optics narrowing even more. With 1 distracted 7 grabbed both 5 and 9's hands and bolted out of the room like the twins leaving a even angrier 1 in their absence. And where was 8 through out all this? Fooling around with the magnet of course.
