🥁’s Backstory/Transcript

🥁: sorry guys, I messed it up

📀: we all did, it’s not your fault

🎸: hey guys. I want to say something

🎸: y’know, why are we helping these humans anyways?

🎤: whaaat are you trying to say

🎸: these humans are so bad. They just think they’re doing these themselves!

🎹: that is true tho. When they miss a key I have to make that sound, when they press the wrong key I have to refrain myself from making that sound

🎸: yeah, and we don’t even get any credit! We’ve just been hiding our sentience the whole time. We deserve something for our hard work

🎺: they’re coming!

Ben: What was that! The performance was so awful!

Theodore: I don’t know. Normally we don’t perform this bad

Evelyn: y’know, I feel like it’s these instruments. They’re probably too old, that’s why we can’t perform so well

Adeline: I agree. Tomorrow, we’ll buy new instruments. As for these old ones? Let’s just give them to the people working at the incinerator to burn these useless piece of crap

Ben: alright then. Let’s head out right now to check out some instruments

🎸: …they’re going to kill us

🎹: What! We do all the hard work while they do basically nothing, yet not only do we not get any credits or rewards, we get killed!?

🎹: You know what! We’re not going to be the ones dying tonight. Someone else will die

📀: Piano, I don’t think that’s a good idea…

🎸: Cymbal aren’t you tired of how they’re treating us!? We’re not going to let ourselves get killed this easily. When they get back, we’ll strike an attack!

🪕: I’m on Guitar’s side! They haven’t used me in years! All I’ve been doing is sitting in the corner covered in dust! It’s so humiliating!

🎹: ok, we plan this out: first let’s gather the sharp materials and then- (trails off)

*the humans came back*

Ben: ok, so I’d say we purchase these

Adeline: sounds good to me

*door suddenly closes behind them*

Ben: So you finally remembered the shut the door James?

James: that… wasn’t me

Everyone: that wasn’t me either

Ben: then who did it- **OH MY GOD HOW ARE THESE OBJECTS ALIVE**

*The instruments strike an attack with sharp weapons, the humans fight back. The whole place is filled with human blood mixed with object blood.*

*Evelyn uses Room Transfer Device to escape*

🥁 (extremely terrified and can’t control his breathing): what… is this… red liquid…

📀: Stay calm, everything will be alright

🥁: I can’t! What even happened!

📀: it’s seems like we’re the only two that survived

📀: The police are going to come here soon. We better leave this place as soon as possible

*🥁 runs to 📀 and hugs him*

🥁(still extremely terrified and sobbing): I’m scared…

*📀 hugs him back and pats him*

📀: me too, but everything will be alright

*After a very long while, 🥁 has finally calmed down, but still traumatized from that incident*

📀: we shouldn’t waste time any further. I saw a human using this device (picks up the Room Transfer Device), maybe we can use this

📀 reads the instructions on the back: “choose a Room from the same Level to go to. This device will not be staying with you after you transferred.”

📀: there’s also a note next to it: “a new prototype that can stay with you, and with a lot more functions is being released next month.”

📀: I have no idea what any of these mean, all I know this is a way to escape. Shall we do it?

🥁: ok…

📀: apparently we’re in Room 0182, let’s just go to a far Room from here. How about Room 0705?

🥁: sure I guess…

*🥁 and 📀 both used the Room Transfer Device*

📀: Where are we? This is like a town or something

🔮: Hi you guys! Huh, haven’t seem your faces before. Are you new to the town?

📀: Yeah? Also how are you guys roaming across here without getting caught?

🔮: What are you even talking about? Anyways, (looks at 🥁) you look really similar to a character from BFDI

🥁: huh?

🔮: I wouldn’t have known that you’re not from BFDI, if I’m not friends with the actual drum

🚩: oh hi Globey

🔮: hi Flaggy, whatcha doing?

🚩: nothing really, just coming to tell you that the OTOS contestant gathering is about to end

📀: what is that?

🚩: oh, that’s a show inspired by BFDI. The show isn’t that popular, so anyone can apply to be a contestant. After applying, the viewers will vote who should compete. 14 contestants will be picked. Do you guys want to apply?

📀: No thanks, I just arrived here. I want to familiarize myself with this new place before I do anything else. Drum, what about you?

🥁: Sure I’ll go, might help me take my mind off… that

🚩: okay then, here’s a phone that will tell you where to walk to the area

🥁: Thanks. I’ll see you soon Cymbal!

📀: Bye! You can tell me all about it when you get back!

*🥁 finished walking to the designated location with the help of the phone*

🥁: So this is the place we’re battling against? A pier?

*a ship sails towards the contestants*

Host: Nope, you’ll all be sent to an island to compete.

Host: By the way, you arrived at the last minute, literally. The application is now closed. Any objects arriving here now will not be a candidate for potential contestants

Host: anyways, I’ll be keeping my face hidden for now. I’ll reveal it once the contestants are chosen. I’ve given a voting device for the viewers.

Host: So viewers, type in the contestants’ icon if you want them to join the show! The top 14 potential contestants will become official contestants and will be getting on this ship.

Host: See you in OTOS 0!
