Ep.2: Hello Dolly...and death part 2
"Thank you for your purchase good sir."
"It is ma'am!"
"...Thank you for your purchase ma'am."
"Yeah whatever f*t."
A large big shouldered man wearing makeup and a blonde wig stomped away from the store while Tails was just smiling with his eyes closed. As soon as the behemoth's stomping ceased he let out a breath of relief.
"God, why do we get the weirdos?"
"That's the circle of life here."
That lack of emotion tone.
"Boss! When did you show up?"
"I told you you can call me Molly. I don't really care."
Molly, Silly's younger different specied cat sister appeared from behind Tails. No one would've noticed her presence since her inherited blood makes her sneaky involuntarily. That's right she's a black panther (and not the Superhero kind sadly) with only one facial expression, blah. She barely cares to wear her Siliconus supermarket uniform right. Not like she cares for what others think anyway.
"It just doesn't roll off the tongue when you're my employer."
"Figured. Anyway it was kinda hilarious how you interacted with that customer."
"Are you kidding me? Hulk looked like he was gonna eat me for breakfast, lunch and dinner all at the same time."
"That was the funniest part about it. I could barely control my laughter from where I was."
Tails isn't alone. Many people who interact with her can't tell if she is serious about the emotions she describes. Can't blame her though since she was born like that...from her father.
"So uh did you need something from me boss?"
Molly scritched the back of her ear and a tiny flea hopped out onto the floor foaming at the mouth.
"You can leave early today."
"Huh? Wait you're serious?"
"I'm always serious."
What did he do? Were the shelves not organized enough? Did he mess up a transaction as a cashier?
"It's not what you think Mr.Prower? My sister is here assisting me for the day."
"That's...surprising."
Molly swiftly got closer to Tail's face.
"My...sister...is...here...assisting...me...for...the..day."
It took Tails a few seconds to put two and two together until a lightbulb pooped over his head.
"Oh yeeeaaahhh sure boss. I'll see you tomorrow."
As quick as a flash Tails took off his attire and ran out of the store, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
A few seconds went by and Molly blushed pink.
"(Those glutes...if only he was 10 years older. A lapdance request would've been appropiate.)
From behind Silly who was wearing the uniform 1 size to small for her put her head on Molly's shoulder sighing in disappointment.
"Dohhhh did he have to weve? Siwwe just thought of some fun things we could've done."
"No flirting in my store Cougar."
"Hey! That's an insult to our mewother."
Tails was glad he got out of there when he did. That Silly would've flirted with him for the next three hours of his shift and god knows he barely had the capacity to handle 30 minutes of it. Getting the keys from his belt pouch Tails was gonna unlock the door but-
"(My door's opened? I know I locked it this morning.)"
Slowly opening the door to his own home Tails was met with a horrifying sight.
"WHAT THE F*K!!"

In order to understand what is going on lets take a trip to an hour ago.
1 hour ago
Tailsdoll was on the couch getting pissed off at the television...He was watching Dora the Explorer.
"Do you see the puppy town?"
"It's right there."
A few seconds of silence and Dora was staring blankly at the screen.
"F*king there! Are you blind or are you deaf?"
Before Tailsdoll could go into an unnecessary flurry on the obviously expensive televsion he felt an ominous presence nearby. A dark fume creeped from underneath the front door and covered a portion of the floor. Though it was smoke Tailsdoll was scared of touching the floor. The presence got stronger as the door creaked open. Seeing the face of the mysterious visitor filled the shaking doll with dread and hopelessness but...he wouldn't go down without a fight.

Now that you're caught up let's see what happened now
1 hour later
Tail's house was in shambles. Partial holes and cracks on the walls were visible, the TV was knocked over on its face, vases, pots, pans, glass cups, even the fridge looks like a tornado hit while he was gone but from his perspective Tails knows that the only one in his house was Tailsdoll...That little s*t is gonna taste dirt again.
"THAT LITTLE S*T IS GONNA TASTE DIRT AGAIN!!...huh?"
Shaking his head Tails decided to hun- I mean kindly search for the little munchkin so he can have a nice heart to heart conversation with him. He didn't have to look so hard since the doll was floating towards him screaming bloody murder. Tails instinctly grabbed Tailsdoll's head and started squeezing.
"You little dirt rag. I bring you to my home and this is how you repay m-"
"TailsIknowyou'reangrybutletmegorightnow!"
Tailsdoll's body was squirming, flailing and struggling desperately like he was trying get away from something other than Tail's wrath.
"Hey dude I didn't catch any of that. but you better have a good explanation to why you made a mess in my house?!"
"NO TIME! *Chomp*"
Tails felt his middle finger get bitten somehow by Tailsdoll causing him to release his grip. With his temporary freedom Tailsdoll scrambled up the steps and came back down with the entire bathroom sink.
"Oww you bit...Wait a doll bit me? Hey hey HEY! Not the sin-"
Tailsdoll already threw the sink at the kitchen, breaking it and the dining room table to pieces.
"WTF NOT THE TABLE! Wait a sec now that I think about it Tailsdoll has been strange ever since he got here."
While Tails was in deep thought Tailsdoll was running around the house throwing some more valuable stuff at nothing while screaming like a girl.
"There's no one in this house and as far as I can tell Tailsdoll was trying to hit something that wasn't there...does he have a mental disorder or something?"
Tailsdoll tumbled down the steps and ran into the kitchen once more grabbing and throwing spoons and forks.
"Then again if he has a skeletal structure when I beat the tar out of him then somehow logically he might have organs and a brain. WTF Tails there's no logic in that? If that was the case then he is capable of eating which I haven't seen him eat unless I missed something...then again that bite he just did...Tailsdoll come here for a sec?"
Tailsdoll was gonna run past Tails but he grabbed him by the string. Tails examined his face until he felt something off with the mouth area.
"Don't struggle doll."
Tails then pried open his jaw with as little force as possible and made a unique discovery.
"Huh would you look at that? A row of jagged sharp teeth. Okay you can proceed with what you were doing."
"Henk you (Thank)."
Tails tossed the Tailsdoll aside and he proceeded to run upstairs, grabbing some empty metal hangers and throwing them one by one from the top of the steps.
"He must be suffering from some delusionary episode...well since he has a brain (maybe) it's most likely hallucinat- Whoo that's cold anyway hallucinations?"
"You know what screw this. SALT ATTACK!"
Tailsdoll had a medium sized bag of salt and he "grabbed" a "handful" of it to throw it at Tail's face while his guard was down.
"AHHH F*K MY EYES! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
Good thing the salt wasn't deep and the tears washed it away but Tails rubbed his eyes. It was a blurry at first so he rubbed his eyes again. When he had his vision back however he saw that the floor was covered in dark purplish fumes.
"Aw cmon man are you trying to burn down the hou-"
This presence...this dark, dreadful, cold feeling...shooting up his spine. Tails felt something in his home...Something that made his breath shorten, his hair sticking out like daggers, every bone and muscle in his body shaking life a leaf, even his battle instincts are screaming at him simultaneously to run, run and never look back but that tiny percent inside him whispering to him to "please face it."
Using that small voice Tails shakingly slowly truned his head behind him. Standing at the entrance to the kitchen standing behind him was a being clad in a black cloak with the hood completely covering its face. All Tails could do was use that fraction of strength to turn himself around to face it despite the screaming in his head now changing to the words "death" over and over again. He didn't know why but from those screaming words he felt that this being was exactly that...maybe this being is death.

I should've said this in the beginning when I put down "Thank you to those who got curious about what this is." I should've put down to those who enjoyed it spread this to your friends, your amigos, your homies in the Sonic community like a virus. Oh wait I just did so anyway this can be also said about future projects that I'll come up with in the future. So get ready for that in the future.
