Paisley Bay, 21, loved to keep to themself, but also loved to hang with his closest friends. After most of their friends have been turned into objects, Paisley only had Odessa left, which was bad given on how things went so fast over the past week or so. There was thirty-four people who had entered the dome, but since then, people had dropped like flies, turning into objects of different kinds.

He foresaw that he would turn into an object, but Paisely didn't know what to do about their or anyone else's fates. They looked at the photograph of they and their friends, knowing that they might not be able to see them again. Paisley prayed that the whole shitshow would be over with and there would be a class action lawsuit against Craig for what he had done to innocent people.

Paisley, however, also knew that Craig getting arrested and/or worse wouldn't solve jackshit, because he might not he working alone and he most likely wasn't the one in charge. Paisley had this deep gut feeling that there must have been someone giving Craig permission to do this kind of shit, to transform innocent and not-so-innocent people into object creatures. Paisley knew that they must do what's right, they want to have Odessa spared from all the trouble, and they had this gut feeling that Craig might be targeting her for some reason, and today.

It has been a night since Takashi has disappeared, yet they weren't there to say their last goodbyes to her. Paisley wished that they were there, wishing that they could have seen Takashi for one last time.

They then heard knocking from the door, and Paisley knew who exactly it was, it was none other than Odessa.
"Oh, hi." Paisley replied.
"We need to talk about the disappearances, people are transforming into objects left and right, and I don't know what to do if this keeps up!" Odessa sounded serious this time, no puns, and not even dark humor.
"What's going on?! Usually, you're making a whole lot of jokes about the situation and taking things too lightly!" Paisley noted the lack of humor within Odessa's voice, they noticed that Odessa was sobbing as she looked at the picture of all of them - her, Paisley, Cornelius, Oswald, Takashi, and Phoenix, all together and happy.
"I... miss those days! Where we were able to spend quality time together! Why did Craig have to take EVERYTHING from us?!" Odessa cried as tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"It's because Craig is nothing but pure evil, and as Cornelius says, a Senpai wannabe!" Paisley replied.
"Makes sense, he's nothing more than a scumbag, a very vain scumbag that needs to be taken care of!" Odessa scoffed.
"Do you want to take a walk together? Use a buddy system to watch for that asshole and his children?!" Paisley asked, raising their eyebrow.
"Sure, anything for my friend who uses any pronouns." Odessa replied.

Meanwhile with Valerie...

"Isn't it odd that Regina and Clarissa aren't here to bully anyone lately?" Valerie asked Black Square, who was confused on what was Valerie saying, not knowing what is going to happen to him, "I mean, that there is no way that Regina and Clarissa could be transformed, especially how evil they and Craig are!"
"Well, I think we should keep an extra close eye on Black Square if we are ever going to have a chance on enduring long enough to leave and find someone who knows how to transform him back!" Indigo replied, also walking with Valerie and Black Square as well.
"Well, we should be careful on what we say, we don't know if we are being watched by anyone... what if Clarissa and Regina end up seeing me with Black Square again, they'll snatch him for sure and fully change him!" Valerie scoffed.
"Well, our best option is to find a place where we could actually hide Black Square for the time being, and ourselves as well!" Indigo replied.
"Well, you got any suggestions?!" Valerie asked.
"We discuss when we return to our apartment." Indigo replied.
"Well, we cannot just let him hang out with fellow objects. It'll probably make him slowly, but surely, lose his original memories and we'll never get Bessie back if that happens!" Valerie scoffed, crossing her arms.
"Well, I know how to avoid all that!" Indigo smirked as she, Valerie and Black Square returned to the apartment to discuss things, not knowing that someone was watching them the whole time and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
