Chapter 10
by Undecisivepsycho
Slender's POV
It was getting close to 6, and everyone else was starting to get hungry. I was just outside Zhi's door when I heard her teasing who I assumed to be Masky, considering I had Hoodie inform me of what happened. I waited a few seconds for them to go silent before knocking.
"Yeah? C'mon I- ah wait a moment please." I heard her call out, a few seconds later the lock clicked and Zhi's face appeared between the door and its frame. "Oh, hey Slendy." she greeted, opening the door fully.
"Hello, Zhi. I came up to ask if you'd be preparing dinner soon. The boys are beginning to complain about 'starving'' I said, nodding in acknowledgment to Masky's wave.
"Yeah, I guess it's about time I get on that. Jeff can starve tonight though..." She replied, her face darkening at the thought of Jeff.
"Yes, well I've currently got him locked in Hoodie and Masky's room, I'll bring him something to eat later in the evening. I'd like to know if it'd be alright if Masky temporarily moved in with you. Arkaius managed to fill his quota and will be joining us soon. I would make him a room, but I can't add any automatically, I'm able to only expand existing rooms." I inquired
"That should be fine for now. Is Arkaius the one who owes you favors, Masky?" Zhi asked, turning to face him.
"Yes. Even though he's a demon I've had to help him collect things on several occasions.." He replied.
"That's cool I guess...macnchee.." she muttered to herself as she moved past me and down the stairs.
"What?" Masky looked a bit confused
"It seems macaroni and cheese is on the menu tonight." I earned a thumbs up from Zhi for that as she descended. "I'll be down later, I'm going to move everything while she cooks" I informed Masky, hoping he'd let anyone that asked know.
"Have fun with that Slendy."
Masky's POV
I got to the kitchen just as Zhi started cooking. I didn't have much to do, and figuring it'd be a bad idea to talk to Zhi judging by how often she looked at the directions on the box, so I started sketching. By the time dinner was ready and served I had drawn everyone and everything in the kitchen at least twice.
Zhi asked a few questions here and there about either Arkaius or myself. Most of my answers involved both of us, thanks to all he's done for me. Everyone else was preoccupied with scarfing down what food they could. Good food didn't come to us very often so it made sense we'd eat like it could be taken from us at any moment. By the time Zhi and I were done Arkaius was scheduled to arrive. We scraped our plates clean and set them in the dishwasher to be cleaned at a later time and set out to see how Slender had combined our things.
Author's Note
This probably seems unnaturally short. And it is. Masky's POV had a lot of dialogue that I found unnecessary and decided to summarize as "Zhi asked questions and I answered them". Maybe at a later date I'll either type up the story as it was originally (and horribly) written, or I'll take the lazy way out and scan it all to upload the pictures to my deviantart or tumblr for you to decipher my handwriting. (most likely my tumblr as I'm not fond of DA's policies and such. My art isnt good enough for them to consider selling, but that doesn't mean I like the fact that they reserve the right to do that.) Just let me know in the reviews if you'd like to see that happen, maybe include your preference for typed or scanned!(I finished this at 10:10 pm!)
