Lincoln loud usually did everything he was asked to but today he messed up
after a long day of keeping up with agreements he made wearing some noise cancelling earbuds he bought he now had to deal with the consequences of him wearing them and ignoring his sister Lola
"LINCOLN IT'S 3 O'CLOCK YOU FAILED ME!" Lola Yelled
Lincoln could hear Lola approaching and had to think fast
he had agreed to something while those wearing noise cancelling earbuds and now Lola was going to do something to him because he didn't fulfil his end of the agreement whatever that agreement was
should he just tell her the truth?
...
to hell with it he was not risking that and he was getting out of there before Lola does something horrible to him
he grabbed the earbuds and some emergency snacks
then he went out his window and slowly climbed down rather than using his emergency slide in order to cover his tracks and then he went to a place where something could help him:
Lisa's lab
the other day he had overheard his intelligent sister mention something about finishing an artificial intelligence that was smarter than a human
and while she said it in terms he barely understood if it was able to outsmart Lola or the very least find him a spot to hide then it was good enough for him
soon he found the pod with the unit number he was looking for
though he wasn't expecting such a huge pod to house a tiny robot
he input the code (Lisa's birthday) and the pod opened slowly
and clearly he made a lapse in judgment because this thing was tall enough to be a professional basketball player
he was wearing a simple black lab coat with black gloves and boots
his artificial skin was tan and his hair was black
slowly the machine opened his eyes which were a bright blue
"well this is new." The machine said in a monotone voice before noticing lincoln "oh hello there."
"uh hi? Could you help me out?" Lincoln asked
"with what?" The machine asked
"well you see one of my sisters Is chasing after me and I need a place to hide." Lincoln said
"I see." The machine said before looking in his internal map to find a place "there is an abandoned factory not too far away from here."
"well it's not a bad idea so why not?" Lincoln said
the machine stepped out of the pod and grabbed a bag on a shelf
the bag was labeled "emergency supplies"
"this should be useful." The machine said
meanwhile
Lola was looking around lincoln's room trying to find him
"how can I teach him a lesson if i can't even find him!?" Lola yelled
suddenly she heard Lisa yell
"IT'S GONNA BLOW!!" Lisa yelled
"oh no." Lola said
the following explosion blew the roof off the house...
literally
back with Lincoln
Lincoln saw the roof fly up
"glad I'm not there." Lincoln said "and now everyone else is probably mad at me."
"it seems someone messed up a chemical formula." The machine said
"yeah. by the way what should I call you?" Lincoln asked "because you don't exactly have a name."
"...call me... Tin." Tin said
"that's boring." Lincoln said
"you and every single one of your siblings have the initials L.L don't talk to me about boring." Tin said still in his monotone voice
"fair enough." Lincoln said
and soon they reached outside of the factory
"woah this place is big! How come I've never heard of it?" Lincoln asked
"from my research this toy factory was abandoned nearly 10 years ago." Tin said "for whatever reason no one knows but what is known is that all of the employees that went in the day before closing never returned. As for why it's still standing it's too much of a hassle to tear it down."
"I should've brought my ghost hunting equipment." Lincoln said
"ghosts are illogical." Tin said as they entered the factory
weirdly the lights were on of at least in the lobby they were
"are we going to stay in the lobby?" Lincoln asked
"if that's what you wish." Tin said
"you know you don't have to listen to me right?" Lincoln asked
"I am programmed to listen to you and your siblings." Tin said
"but you called me out about my name being boring." Lincoln said
"my higher intelligence allows me to say such things." Tin said
"well then if you're so smart then reprogram yourself to be free." Lincoln said
tin went silent for a few minutes
"it's done." Tin said suddenly
"so wait you can choose what you want to do?" Lincoln asked
"correct and I'm choosing to keep you safe by going where you're going." Tin said
"you're not going to go all terminator on humanity are you?" Lincoln asked
"no. That would lead to mutual destruction." Tin said
they stepped further into the lobby
Lincoln then noticed a green vhs tape and a green vhs player
"well let's see what it says." Lincoln said as he put it the tape in
the tape began to play
"Hi. My name is Leith Pierre and I'm the Head of Innovation here at the Playtime Co. toy factory. If you're seeing this, then you're trespassing. Yeah, we play this little tape on loop whenever we close the factory for the day. So, trespasser, just to make you aware, while we pride ourselves primarily on our high-quality toys and excellent childcare, we also pride ourselves on our security." The voice on the tape explained
"oh..." Lincoln said while thinking (what do they mean by childcare?)
"For example, this facility is full of hidden motion triggers which, once set off, will turn on the factory's emergency alarms and directly contact the authorities! And that's one of the more tame aspects of our security system. No spoilers! So, you've got my warning. It's not too late to turn around. I just hope you're certain whatever you're doing is worth it." The voice concluded before the tape ended
"we should leave." Lincoln said
"hold on..." tin said doing a scan of the area "this system has been offline for years."
"so it's fine?" Lincoln asked
"correct." Tin said as they began to look around
Lincoln found himself in the gift shop
"I guess they did tours." Lincoln said "I wonder what this place use to be like."
soon they found themselves outside of a door that said "staff only"
"I guess we aren't getting in there." Lincoln said before noticing a cat bee plush (this would be a good gift for Lily)
he grabbed the plush before he turned to where tin was
"hey tin do you think you can put this in the bag?" Lincoln asked
then tin kicked the door open
"ok then." Lincoln said putting the plush in his bag instead
when they entered they saw another vhs tape however, this one was blue
"well it couldn't hurt to play it." Lincoln said so they popped it in
it showed something called the grab pack and how to use it
"an interesting piece of technology." Tin said
once the tape was completed a small window near the tv opened revealing a grab pack
"you should put it on." Tin said
"why?" Lincoln asked
"i don't need it." Tin said as he stretched his arm over to the gift shop and grabbed another cat bee plush
"alright then." Lincoln said putting on the grab pack and tightening the straps and doing everything else necessary
"it seems to be missing a right hand." Tin said
"yeah." Lincoln said "I wonder if we can find one around here."
they continued to explore for a bit before finding a door that had a button with a blue hand on it just above the door
"I think this for you." Tin said
Lincoln fired the hand which latched on to the button
a few seconds later the door opened revealing a hallway the led to a bigger room
and in the middle of that room was a giantstatue
"that's a big toy." Lincoln said before reading the sign in front of the toy "huggy wuggy."
"a popular toy back then." Tin explained"let's get moving."
they continued to look around but Lincoln couldn't help feeling that he was being watched
this game has me in a chokehold and I don't even like horror games that much
now a bet you're probably thinking "why is there an original character here? Couldn't I just have Lincoln by himself?"
To answer your question I needed to have someone go with him who looked like he used to work there so there would be a reason to go deeper in the first place
anyway see you next time
