Chapter 2
Frozen
Shavings's POV
"Oh, SHAVINGS! I brought someone!"
I turn around. Glitch is dragging a Froslass, which I assume is the pokemon that came on the boat, around by the wrist.
Quite a time he chooses to talk to me, noting that I've got a chainsaw and a construction hat, and haven't taken a shower in three days.
"Of all times, Glitch, you choose now to introduce me to her? I'm helping rebuild the hospital!"
I look at Froslass, then speak.
"I'm sorry. I'm just not exactly in my best condition. Haven't showered in three days, and I'm busy." I think for a minute, then continue, "Tell you what. I get off at 6, I'll shower, get myself fixed up, then we can be properly introduced."
They don't ay anything for a minute, then Glitch speaks.
"Sure thing, Shavings. See you in... five hours. Come on, Crystal."
So her name is Crystal... Glitch already seems to have a thing for her, more or less.
I continue sawing at the steel plate.
Crystal's POV
"So, Glitch, whaddya wanna do?"
Glitch, still clutching my wrist, ponders on my query.
"Well, the only buildings that have been either rebuilt or not destroyed are the obsevatory, the museum, and the random shack."
"Random shack?"
"Yeah. No one knows when, why, or how, but this random shack sits on the outskirts of the town, and hasn't been destroyed by anything. It's really weird."
"Huh. Say, how did the city get destroyed anyway?"
"Giant killer bunnies came and threw explosive potatoes at various objects."
"Really?"
"No, but the truth is more complicated."
"Um... sure."
A few moments later, Glitch speaks.
"AAAAAAKKKKKKK"
"WHAT? WHAT?"
"I FORGOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT!"
He grabs my hand, then drags me away to what appears to be a large... hotel?
"We gotta get you a room key!"
He hauls me into the doors, literally dragging me on the ground.
There's a large desk, and a tangrowth sits behind it, half asleep.
"I NEED A ROOM KEY!" Glitch shouts.
The tangrowth literally jumps to the ceiling.
Dazed, it grabs a random key on a wall labeled 'UNOCCUPIED'.
It gives Glitch the key, and passes out.
"Crystal, your room is 478," he says. He opens up the door using the key. "If you need anything, my room number is 474, which is just down the hall. Get yourself settled."
Glitch leaves the room, and closes the door. I plop my suitcase over beside the bed, unpacking my stuff. Very quickly, I have finished unpacking, and am really bored.
Then I remember Glitch said something about his room number... it was... 474.
Grabbing my key, I leave my room.
