“Hold it right there, you purple wad of mucus!” Neo grabbed Marie by her bow. “I don’t know why my assistant let you in here, but I would at least ask of you not to touch anything!”
“Ack!”
Marie suddenly found herself dragged back and lifted off the ground by her bow, face-to-face with (she presumed) Dr. Cortex.
“Oh, heh, sorry, I just noticed some of the buttons weren’t lit up…that’s not a problem, is it?”
To her, it looked like they were blinking out at pure random, but she realized that was kind of a dumb conclusion to think this was an issue.
“…Sorry, I’ll leave it to you next time, Dr. Cortex…”
All five of the Denpas quickly moved out of the way once a path was
cleared. They certainly weren’t staying trapped back there forever!
Susumu, however, stopped for a second. “Thanks for saving us,” she said.
“But…” she tilted her head. “What ARE you?” She walked up and held out a
tiny paw to Cat Slime.
“I guess that means he doesn’t eat
Denpa-Men,” the white-haired Denpa remarked. “I thought everything
outside of Digitoll ate Denpas, but…”
Her eyes widened suddenly
when she heard that, however. “Wait, what?! A blizzard?! Does… Does that
mean we’re trapped here?! We’re gonna freeze, aren’t we?!”
Cat Slime hastily shook his head. This wasn’t the first time something like this happened (though, if the Repairman knew ahead of time, he would leave his pet in the Void for a bit). His ear twitched, and he squeaked a sound similar to “c’mon!” He moved a couple things, and descended down a newly-revealed hole in the pile. If they were going to stay, he might as well show his home off.
Sono noticed no one else except the stranger before her. Even when he looked behind her to give a glance to someone else, the scientist seemed oblivious to it.
♬ “Look. I don’t know what an Inkblot Toon is, but I must follow my own protocol and security measures.”
With that, Sono began to reach into one of her gloves, pulling out a small device. She clicked a button on the surface of it and began to speak.
♬ “Intruder alert, protocol 7-A. I need to make my surveillance…stronger, I suppose. Will forcefully remove with sound waves.”
And thus, Sono began to remove her wand as she put the little device away, preparing the blast the intruder off of the premises.
“Ah, wait, when you say remove with sound waves…” the Repairman said, inching back. This wasn’t good; if he didn’t fix the Wall here, who knows what would happen…
Marie, on the other hand, didn’t see what this scientist was pulling out. If she was forcibly removing him…oh no…
“Um, if you made the rules…” the Repairman laughed nervously, “can’t you break them?”
And then Marie the paint spatter leaped onto Sono’s back, trying to reach for the weapon. She had a surprisingly strong grip, too.
“Don’t…you…dare!” she grunted, as she kept trying to snatch the wand.
The Repairman, shocked by this sudden development, could do little more than jump back.

Medical gave her brother a squeaky huffing noise. Well, maybe she had
one last plan. She just had to reposition her body so she slipped
through Marie’s arms…
Splat.
It didn’t hurt Medical,
of course, but just for added effect, she started to cry. She couldn’t
make any tears, of course, but she hoped her squeaky sobs would get the
point across.
Susumu, meanwhile, took a closer look at the
printing on the card. “Do you seriously think that, Mr. Sir?” she asked.
“Because honestly… From the sound of things… It sounds like they
thought you might be lonely. Living alone, it… It’s alright, but… Maybe
they just didn’t want you to be lonely.”
Marie screamed when she heard Medical go splat. As the slime started to cry, Marie started to panic.
Cat Slime glared at Medical. This was low, even for her. As Marie shook, staring at the dropped slime, he patiently moved in front of her and squeaked that she wasn’t hurt, she was doing this for attention.
Unfortunately, Marie didn’t know Slime yet, and Cat Slime looked peeved. She burst into tears, thinking he was accusing her of hurting his sister.
“ImsosorryCatSlimeIdidntmeanto…”

“…Why would they make her an assistant then?” the Repairman asked. “Am I really doing that shoddy of a job that I need help? How long until she outshines me and just ups and takes my job?”
He flopped down on the ground.
“…I…I don’t think I can compete with a new blot…” he said, in a monotone voice.
