The Toontown conspiracy chapter one
I ran into Toontown - were the rest of the toons normal? I hoped so. I saw no flunkies or cogs where I ended up, so I concluded that they didn't battle them after all. Perhaps the Flunky had gotten lost?
And then I saw it. Three toons talking. I crept closer, because they were all cats, my natural enemies, though not many people know it.
".. And so I dropped a piano on him! He exploded without even having a chance. Stupid double talker." The tallest cat was obviously telling a tale of how she defeated the cogs. I stopped, in horror. They all turned to me. The three of them were pink.
"Hey, get away from us! You're a duck. And you're not even a girl!" The tallest hissed.
I felt my rage growing. They were talking about how they murdered cogs, and drove me off like I was some sort of…. Thing!
Then, I slowly backed off. I knew I had no hope.
I only knew one person who would give me answers; Flippy. He had taught me how to speak properly. Not just a few weird phrases. He'd taught me when I was born, because he was my uncle. He told me to call him "Uncle Flip." I ran into Toon Hall, where he said he lived and worked. I ran into the place, and saw a scientist explaining how some contraption, the Silly Meter, was going to work.
"The meter will rise when we destroy more cogs. When it falls, we'll have to double our work."
I was disgusted! How could these people talk like killing was normal? It wasn't right. I ran to Flippy. He was in his office.
"What is it, Fowl Play?" Asked Flippy.
"The citizens! They're mad! They kill cogs!" I cried. I told him my story about Tutorial Tom, and about his silent threat.
"Fowl Play, I think you should drop all of this, and get to battling the cogs, or at least not react." Flippy was giving me that stare, the sort of "I don't want to hurt your feelings but shut up because I'm set on my path" stare that I had grown used to from my parents. But I had a lot of talking to do before I gave up.
"But, Uncle Flip-" I started, but I was interrupted by Flippy.
"That's Flippy to you, Fowl Play." His voice had become cold. A coldness I hadn't yet heard from Flippy. I was hurt, but I wasn't backing down.
"Flippy! They're killing innocent creatures! Why do you do it?" Surprisingly to me, my voice was now full of venom, matching the coldness of Flippy. His eyes showed surprise, but his voice was clear as he stated "Fowl Play, we've been fighting the cogs for years. We won't change it now." My body shook with anger.
"You're no family member of mine!" I hissed as I walked away, deleting him from my friends list.
As I opened the door to lead me outside, the same pink cats were outside.
"How dare you come near us?" The smallest one, wearing a yellow shirt, meowed.
"I didn't mean it! And if I could avoid you, I certainly would1" I yelled, angrily. The tall one advanced on me.
"You don't have the right to even talk to us, you little downgrade!" The tall one hissed, then said "I'm going to make your life a living hell."
I pushed tem out of the way, my anger overwhelming me. I grabbed my shticker book and teleported home. I suddenly couldn't contain my anger. I screamed, I scratched the trees, and I eventually ended up crying. Something was wrong with this town. And there was nothing I could do about it. My frustration was growing now too. I teleported back to Toontown Central. If I couldn't put a stop to what was going on, the least I could do for myself was get some answers. And I vowed that I would, no matter what happened.
