Chapter two - Just A Thought
~.~.~
The penguin waddled after the woman towards the centre of the island. Only now did the penguin really look at the island properly.
"This is a weird place," he muttered to himself.
"Nothing in our lives has been normal," Noodle smirked slightly.
"'Our'? And how did you hear me? Ma'am, you are making me even more confused!" the penguin cried out.
"Forgive me," Noodle said. "But this weird life of ours with all its battles has trained my hearing a lot".
"Battle... weirdly familiar word," the penguin thought to himself.
"And by 'our' I refer to Gorillaz, as I am their guitarist," Noodle smiled as they reached the centre of the island, which rose hundreds of meters up almost as a pillar, the top spreading wide enough to be able to support a building.
"How do get up there?" asked the penguin as he looked at the white building glistening in the sun.
"Easy, just follow me," Noodle laughed.
They started to circle the 'pillar' until they reached stairs. Noodle walked up and the penguin followed. There was a niche, and at the back of it, a metal door.
The penguin waddled in behind Noodle to a weird, moist hall. There were water drops leaking from pipes to the floor, which was covered in trash bags and miscellaneous items. In the middle of the room there was pipe-like lift, where Noodle and the penguin headed.
The lift stopped and the duo headed out to a large study.
"Welcome to our HQ," Noodle announced.
"HQ," the penguin flavoured the word in his head. "HQ..."
"Is everything alright?" Noodle asked. "You seem to be full of thoughts".
"Yes," the penguin replied. "I just think some of your words remind me of something, I just don't know what".
"Oh but that's great!" Noodle smiled. "Which one, or ones?"
"Well, umh, 'battles' and 'HQ'..." the penguin said hesitantly.
Noodle smiled like she knew something more now, but didn't say anything about that. "Come on, follow me," she said instead and led the penguin to a couple of black, but mismatched, armchairs.
"Please, do sit down," Noodle said as she saw the penguin looking hesitant over whether he should or should not sit down. The penguin smiled a little and hoped on the chair. Noodle watched him with her head tilted to one side.
"I have a theory on you," the woman said as the penguin got on the chair.
