Chapter Text

I layed my eyes on you for the first time.

' Huff, huff, huff. ' Sinner panted, dropping down on their knees after dropping down into the Saferoom. "Damn Mime—always in my bloody way." The priest mumbled, clenching their rosary. They were, ahem, frustrated that Mime just had to make their way right as Dozer spawned.

'Ugh. Why did I have to pick his modifier.'

They wiped their sweat off, laying down on the cold metal. Their eye twitched, enduring the violently artificial lightbulb. "Let's see my modifiers now.."

They opened up the hologram, via watch, ofcourse, and read the text.

There's probably nothing that challenging now.

"Big 'Ol Eyes, Stingman, eh. What else.." And on the screen, was 'Third Circle Of Hell' .

Normally, no sane person would pick it. After all, if they did pick it, they'd have 3 seconds until the Goatman was after them.

…

Sane, atleast.

Sinner contemplated, sweat beading on their forehead. ' Should I? ' repeating in their mind. Then..

BANG!

"What the he-?!" John Sinner recoiled, flinching at the loud bang across the metal room.

They saw.. Two figures, crashing down onto the floor, one falling harder than the other.

"Aye, Guest, where are we?!" A Prisoner..? Yelled out, feeling the back of his neck.

"I don't know, Expendable!" Another voice rang out, Sinner was too disoriented to pay attention to the others attire.

"Gosh- who are you two?!" Sinner yelled, their voice raspy after not needing to yell in a long while, pinching the bridge of their nose.

"Gah- where did you come from?!" The prisoner flinched.

"I should be asking you that. Where did you come from?" The priest stared, their creepy-blacked-out face only worsening their glare."

"Well.. Guest, help me out here." The so called… Expendable? Called out. What a weird name.

The other bit their nail, hesitating to speak. "Well.. I-I got here first.. I saw a weird grailed door and.. I'm here now. The door locked shut when I closed it behind me.. and Expendable? Um.."

Guest sweats, recalling the events that happened just earlier.

"Expendable, can I.. or..?" He cracked an awkward smile, scratching at his neck.

"Don't. That should be enough, basically the same happened to me." The other crossed his arms and legs, sitting down.

' Wait, if they are here.. '

"Uh, forgot to mention this but.. You're in Hell." They pulled at their collar, sweating ferociously.

"What?!" "Huh?!" Their voices echoed, with.. Guest clenching his head, and Expendable.. He was weirdly happy?

"I'm finally out! Haha! Suck on that, Sebastian!" He cheered, pulling the alpha wolf sticker pose.

".. I know I said Hell would be better than that hotel, but I didn't mean it literally!"

Sorry to break it to you, Expendable, bad news, we have to run. Constantly. And if you can't slide, learn." Sinner stood up, and dusted off their jacket.

".. What?" Both of them asked, getting little to no context. Sinner sighed, and turned around Infront of them. "We need to run away from entities that spawn every now and then.

For the basics, we have Carnation. When you see pink tentacles in the corner of your eyes, keep running. Eventually, we'll find a place to hide."

Sinner explained, noticing a face of familiarity on Guests face, and a bead of sweat on Expendables.

"What's the matter, we still have more, if you have a question, ask me." Sinner sat down, this time in an Asian squat.

"… I think, that we had a similar experience. Let me guess, endless doors, entities that kill you, am I right?" Expendable sighed, the former look of excitement on his face completely faded.

".. Yes. I'm guessing the same for..?" "Yes. Unless we have more entities to learn about, we're pretty much set."

"Alright. I also have.. Slugfish . If you see white tentacles, get to a wall. You'll be safe there, and it might not be what you're used to , it works."

"Then we have Dozer. When you see it's face, stop moving and crouch. Unless it goes away do not move."

"Then there's Slight, don't look at it. And Heed, keep looking at it until you leave the room."

"And.. Mime. Don't get backtracked, he'll be there to surprise you."

"That should be enough.. Oh! Elkman, hide behind a wall, and he should go away." Sinner finished, standing up.

"So, we ready to go?" The others agreed, and right at the last second.. "By the way, we have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to finish."

".. What..?! Two minutes?! What happens if we don't make it?!" Guest panicked, tracking behind the other two.

"Then, we'll have another entity to deal with, not that hard." Sinner explained, sliding through doors, speeding ahead the others.

"Alright.."

"It's Carnate. Keep running." Sinner looked back, making sure the others are listening.

"K." "Alright!" After running through a few doors, there was yellow arrows on the wall. "Uh, Sinner, there's no place to hide here.." Guest asked, not seeing any cabinets, or desks to hide in, or under.

"Dangit— down here! " Sinner slid down, hiding in a little room with a small gap. Sinner yanked the twos ankles, panicking slightly as they weren't getting in as fast.

"Oi! There's nowhere to hide here— we're screwed!" "Trust the process!" They argued, and when Carnation passed, they were.. thoroughly shut up.

"See? I told you." Sinner teased, nudging at Expendable. "Whatever you say, grandpa."

Guest yanked at the others head. "Hey! That's rude, Expendable! Say sorry, now!"

"Alright, alright-! I'm sorry,… Whats your name, again?" The prisoner smiled awkwardly, facing Sinner.

"John Grace Sinner. It's Sinner." They answered, clutching their rosary.

"Right, right. Sinner." They awkwardly ran together, with Guest trailing behind.

"Sooo.. You come here often..?" Expendable asked, trying to break the silence. Which was met with.. A stare.

' Ah. Right, whole.. Hell thing, dangit. ' They thought over.

"Anyways, Guest, cmere, I wanna show you what I found." Expendable giggled. "Hm?" Guest sped up, curious to see what the other was gonna show them.

"Heh— It's a little froggo chair!" They showed off, a tiny 'tada!' escaping his mouth.

"Heh-so cute! I thought this was Hell though, why's this here?"

While the other two talked, John Sinner prayed, bowing their head.

' My lord, answer me, who are these people, and why are they here. '
