Following behind, Arz wondered where this strange person would take him. He couldn’t help but notice that the entire scenery suddenly began to shift. Like a slide show, the scenery of the empty city faded to one of bright, saturated colors. It was so surreal, like he stepped into another dimension all together.
The oni stopped behind the repairman and waved his hands in front of his face. Even his movement was affected by whatever this place had going for it. It all seemed strangely less fluid, like he was faster than ever. Arz blinked as he took in the strange land. So not only was this a master maid, but also some kind of high level traveler to just walk through worlds at will. He was becoming more and more fascinated by this stranger.
“So if ya can travel just by walking one way…” Arz began, cracking his knuckles before taking a few steps away from the Repairman. A wide, toothy grin lip up his face. “What’ll happen if we go down below?”
With inhuman strength, the oni punched the earth below and dug his hands deep into the dirt. Once his claws got a good grip on the mass of dirt, he ripped it clean off before tossing it aside. The hole below was deep and pitch black, something Arz wasn’t expecting really. Typically it would take a lot more than that to create a hole. This world’s laws of reality certainly were strange, even for him. Without a second thought, Arz canonballed into the hole as he let out a cry of excitement.
“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
Suddenly the repairman was left alone in silence before the oni’s voice could be heard from above, still thrilled to be falling so far. Over and over again the oni fell in an endless loop.
“… aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa….”
“… aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa….”
“….”
“….Okay!”
“I’m done now!”
“Shit make it stop!”
“I dunno, I haven’t–” was all the Repairman could say before the ground began shaking.
“Wha–!”
He turned around to find the other one had dug a hole in the ground.
“What are you…”
He looked down as the other jumped.
“…doing.”
He quickly pulled back, his gaze following the endless loop that was happening. It was almost hypnotic, really.
Of course, he snapped out of it as the other began panicking. He hastily looked around. He had left his cart back in…was it called Ooe? Anyway, he quickly saw a dumpster.
This would either turn out really well or really, really awful. He braced himself for the worst and opened the lid. He was pleased to see that someone had discarded some old trampoline. And it still looked good! He clambered in and picked it up. Judging by toon physics, he tossed it in the general direction of the hole and climbed back out.
He watched the other, seeing if the trampoline would work. It was a little on the small side…
