The Ivory Pillar
Part 2
Finn and Jake walked through the candy city at a brisk pace. "Hey Finn. He's in her lab, I think he's trying to get Princess Bubblegum to fill out a compatibility test he found online." Finn and Jake nodded to the candy guard in front of the gate and continued inside.
"Alright so would you pick one or five, one being strongly disagree and five being strongly agree." The Ice King said to Princess Bubblegum, holding out a device that projected a green hologram of a screen. Finn let out a sigh before approaching the Ice King. Jake started to follow him but froze as a strange sensation washed over him. The air itself seemed to reverberate with a tinge of malice.
...I hate dogs. Just go away." A far away voiced said. Jake eyed the room for its source, oblivious to anything else happening. It took the yelling of Finn and the Ice King to snap him back to reality. Finn shouted out "Jake!" Jake stared blankly for a moment before attempting to respond. He was cut off by being frozen by The Ice King.
A fog slowly drifted through Jake's mind as the following moments seemed to ebb and flow from his consciousness. "...Get rid of him" A falling sensation gripped Jake before the ice surrounding him shattered, freeing him. He was outside on the grass, a candy person stood high up above him. He looked like a piece of candy corn, Jake guessed he had tossed him out the window.
"Uhh... Hey!" Jake's previous inability to think vanished when the situation dawned on him. He stretched up to the window where he saw the candy corn person walking away. He wanted to confront him about being thrown out the window instead of safely melting the ice around him, but quickly remembered the situation with the Ice King.
He swiftly rushed back into Princess Bubblegum's lab only to see her mixing something on her work table. "Hey Jake." She spoke very casually. "Uhh... Hello?" Jake spoke uncertainly looking around the room. "Did you have time to catch up with Finn? He wanted us to tell you to meet up with him at Marceline's if you had time." She looked up from her work studying Jake for a moment. "Someone was supposed to tell you, after you were thawed out."
Jake noticed something for the first time. It was darker inside then it had been. The sun was setting over the horizon despite it being midday when they entered the castle. "How long was it suppose to take them to do that?" Princess Bubblegum gained a look of concern for the first time since they started talking. "Fifteen minutes... After you were frozen. Hours ago..."
Jake felt that he should be angry, but actually felt more confused about the situation. "I just got thrown out the window." Princess Bubblegum spoke up immediately. "What! When? By who!?" Jake jumped a little by her reaction. "Just a minute ago, Some candy corn guy, I didn't really get a close look or anything."
Peppermint butler walked in to the room. "Excuse me 'mam. It seems we're missing some staff." Princess Bubblegum let out a groan as a look of frustration clearly showed on her face. "Something's not right here..."
I'm not 100% down with the direction this is going in... Just like last time I have an ending in mind and nothing else. I'm updating this daily so I kinda just have to deal.
