The next morning, Octopus Man woke up from a nice sleep. He noticed that everyone else was seemingly asleep, so he decided to go the lobby of the hotel to eat breakfast. When he got out of bed, he heard a voice say "Where are you going?" Octopus man turned around to see Emberlyn laying flat on the pile of rubble that used to be her bed.
"I'm going to eat breakfast." Octopus Man replied with a smile on his face. Emberlyn sat up and nodded. "I'll go too. I barely got any sleep." Octopus Man then started looking around frantically. "What's wrong?" Emberlyn asked.
Octopus Man had a horrified look on his face. "I CAN'T FIND MY EATING ROBE!" he yelled. "Eating robe?" Emberlyn repeated, confused. "YES AN EATING ROBE!" Octopus Man responded harshly. "I can only eat at hotels with my eating robe." he concluded.
Emberlyn tilted her head in confusion and asked, "So you're not going to eat?" Octopus Man looked extremely upset. "Fine I will. But just know that it's a fate worse than death for me to eat at a hotel without my eating robe." he stated.
Emberlyn shrugged and they walked outside of the room. Octopus Man ran to the elevator, but Emberlyn stopped when she saw Floran standing outside of the hallway. "What are you doing here?" Emberlyn asked. "I don't need sleep remember. I just stayed here all night." Floran responded with an emotionless tone.
"Oh, well, do you want to eat?" Emberlyn asked with a smile. "Floran looked over and sighed before replying, "Fine. I guess I could eat."
They make it down to the lobby to find Octopus Man in a paralyzed state looking at the food. Floran walked up to Octopus Man and tapped his shoulder. "What's up with you?" she asked. Floran then looked down to see that there was an entire tray of free biscuits. Octopus Man must have suffered extreme shock from seeing this.
Floran rolled her eyes and got her own food. After getting her food, she sat next to Emberlyn at a table. Emberlyn look concerned and said, "Is something wrong? You seem more upset than usual today?"
Floran just started eating a few bites and leaning back before responding, "I don't know. Dinkleflop never made it back to the hotel room. I did kind of leave him alone in a dangerous place yesterday, so I'm worried he could have been killed, and it would have been my fault."
Octopus Man just walked in and busted out laughing. "HAHA! Someone's death is on your hands." he shouted through his laughs. Floran turned around and gave him an empty stare. Emberlyn did the same.
Octopus Man took a bite of a biscuit and said, "You guys are no fun. Kookakoo would have died from laughter at that." Suddenly, Kookakoo appeared from underneath the table. "I sure would have!" she exclaimed.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Kookakoo, you're awake?" Octopus Man asked, surprised. "I smelled the biscuits. Of course I'm awake." She then tried to snatch the biscuit Octopus Man was holding away from him. Octopus Man tried to pull it back to him. "HEY IT'S MINE!" he yelled.
Kookakoo pulled so hard that the biscuit broke in half. Octopus Man was furious. He immediately incinerated Kookakoo with laser vision.
Emberlyn got more comfortable in her seat before saying, "Well anyway. I'm sure Dinkleflop is okay. We just need to..." Just before she could finish her sentence, her chair collapsed due to her burning it with her flames.
Floran stood up and asked, "Are you okay?" Emberlyn just gave a sad look. She had tears in her eyes, not due to the pain, but due to embarrassment.
Octopus Man once against busted out laughing. The ashes that were once Kookakoo reconstructed themselves and she started laughing as well.
Floran turned around and yelled, "STOP LAUGHING!" She then felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see a very disgruntled hotel worker.
They were all kicked out of the hotel instantly. Brazilian Bug Boy rubbed his eyes. "Why'd you guys have to get us kicked out? I was enjoying an amazing nap." he complained with a yawn.
Cutecumber put her hands in the pockets of her hoodie and asked, "So, what to do now?"
Lusha smiled with her sharp teeth showing and shouted, "We will find some ice cream because it's yummy in my tummy!" Octopus Man pumped his fist in the air and replied, "That sounds amazing!" he then lowered his fist and said, "Oh wait. Do they have biscuit flavor?"
Lusha gives a thumbs up and responds, "Of course they do. Why even ask?" Octopus Man and Kookakoo look at each other with their mouths wide open in excitement.
Floran's hands are shaking in rage. "We need to find Dinkleflop. I know he wasn't really part of the group, but he might be dead. And plus, we also need to find the Triune, so no goofing off."
Lusha sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fiiiiiiiiiine. It's always you with saving people and doing the right thing. Ugh." she remarked in an annoyed way.
"How would we even find him?" Cutecumber asked. Floran spread her wings and took to the sky. She looked down upon the city and scanned the surroundings, but didn't see anything worth mentioning. She then descended and said, "Well, maybe there really is no option but to just go find the Triune. Finding him with no clues would take way too long, and saving reality is more important I guess." She knew saving all of reality was their number one priority, but she felt guilty due to possibly leaving someone for dead.
"We still don't know how to get to the Triune from here." Brazilian Bug Boy remarked. "Very true." Lusha replied. Cutecumber looked down in guilt. She knew this was all her fault for not giving them both squishy socks.
Lusha then saw a figure in a tattered brown cloak in the distance. The figure was holding a party hat and moving very quickly. She pointed and said, "Hey Floran. Isn't that Dinkleflop's hat?" Floran looked over and nodded. "It is. Quick, follow that person!" she shouted.
They all started running and Kookakoo was complaining. "Running is so tiring." she whimpered. Octopus Man was smirking and his feet were on the dashboard of a sports car. "Ha. Lucky for me, I brought my very own car." he taunted.
