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.

Lousy Play

The lights flickered on as a small inkblot shuffled into the room. It was night, and he did hope that everyone was either asleep or out of the building. He would have a hard time explaining this otherwise.

As he crept up to the machine on the other side, he looked around to make sure he was in the clear.

He plugged the machine in, and immediately it started blaring chiptune music as Wario’s face appeared on screen, with the words “PRESS START” blinking below.

The Repairman looked at the controller with some uncertainty. He hadn’t really played a game before. He had been in video game worlds, sure (he was in one right now), but he hadn’t actually played one.

Still, he had to see if this was breaking the Wall, so after a minute of searching he pressed the start button.

The now-ignited arrows swarmed in the air, taking a few seconds to regroup. “Come on, guys! We’re gonna get Smithy back for what he did to Bowyetta and our brother!”

“YEAH!”

The arrows began charging toward Smithy, shouting and taunting as they went. “Hey! Get outta here, you…” Smithy swung his hammer at the arrows, but they were much faster than Bowyetta was, and he didn’t manage to hit many of them.

The girls gathered around Bowyetta. Bonkakira attempted to help her up. “Are you okay?”

Bowyetta wasn’t in the best shape, but she still seemed to be alive. Her body was badly dented in several places, and her glasses were cracked. When she spoke her voice sounded strained: “Bowyetta is not able to be feeling her legs…”

Beepsumu looked around out the group. “What are we going to do? Bowyetta’s all smashed up, and she’s too heavy to lift… And I don’t think the floor can hold out much longer…”

The Repairman looked around, before snatching the umbrella from Bonkakira. Without saying anything, he opened it and hooked it under Bowyetta’s arm.

While he used the earbuds to secure it, carefully perching the best he could with no legs, he looked at the others.

“Might want to check on the arrows and then hurry back on here.”

He just hoped that those Toon physics would apply here.
