The Black Oasis (Human!Cuphead AU)

Introductions

Hilda kept as far away from the Roots as she could, she really felt unsafe at the moment.

Before they all went up to bed, cause it was really late, they all went to go get something to eat.

They all sat down at a small booth, Hilda sat next to Cagney and Specter, who were both spoiling each other with kisses, it made her wanna puke, "Can't you two fucking wait till we go to bed?" she asked, Specter, pulled away to talk "But it's more fun this way" Hilda sighed as she got up to leave the table, honestly, why HER of all people did she get chosen.

As she walked away from the table, she heard a woman shouting at a man, as she peered around the corner she saw a Woman in VERY pink clothing (with a few hints of minty blue) and curly hair shouting at a man on the ground, he appeared to be a very posh man, to be honest, Hilda felt he deserved the yelling, she never really felt sympathy for people in the city, despite living there for 4 months herself.

"SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" The Woman yelled as she stomped away, Hilda quickly hid around the corner to avoid being caught spying, unfortunately, she was caught as the woman was coming around the corner, Hilda was done.

'She's gonna chew me out quicker than a machine gun'

She thought, fortunately though, she didn't, The woman merely looked at Hilda and chuckled, "Oh sorry you had to see that honey" she answered, "I'm Bon-Bon, and you must be Hilda Berg", "Yes, I am an-" Hilda paused for a moment, "Wait, how do you know my name?" she asked, Bon Bon, gave a subtle smirk and giggled, "Well, as the leader of the relief group, it's my job to know everyone who works with me", "Of course!" Hilda remembered "You're the leader of the relief group, I totally forgot that", "It's Fine," Bon-Bon told her, Hilda smiled.

Though Bon-Bon was just acting like a real...douche before, she was actually really sweet, must just happen I guess. "So" Bon-Bon started "I heard you and Moe aren't getting along at the moment" Hilda paused at this, god, that name was enough to make her wanna puke, she absolutely hated him at the moment, 'Y-y-yeah, me and him didn't kick it off so well, and over his brother too, god" Hilda answered, "Honey, while Moe can be a bit of a dick sometimes, no, most of the time" Bon-Bon said, though it didn't really help, "He's actually a real sweetheart, and when he got mad at you, it was just to protect his brother, he's very protective" Hilda's eyes glistened, hearing Bon-Bon talk like that about Moe made her feel a little safer, but she was still unsure about him, for now at least, "Uh...yeah...I guess"

As the two ladies walked together and continued chatting, they both heard a bell ring, "Oh, we better get going" Bon-Bon said, "C'mon, you can get a proper introduction upstairs with everyone else" Hilda followed her upstairs, to a hallway with 6 rooms, Bon-Bon walked up to a room with a dark oak door and knocked on it, upon knocking, the door opened up, revealing Percy behind it, Hilda then got a proper gaze at Percy, damn was he tall, he was a fricking skyscraper, "Hey Bon" He greeted Bon-Bon, he then turned to Hilda "Hey Newbie" he greeted, Hilda shrunk down a bit before giving a nervous wave, Percy moved himself away from the door to let the women through, before putting his hand on Hilda's shoulder, she felt a nervous rush go through her body, "Hey" he said "I don't think we got to meet properly", PHEW, Not a telling off, this is what paranoia does to you.

"I'm Percy" he started "But you can just call me Psy, excuse my Brothers behavior earlier today, he's a little overprotective", "So I've heard" Hilda replied, making Psy giggle, "It's just, Westley is kinda a bit...unstable...and emotional, so we're a little paranoid about him" he explained, Hilda looked away and nodded in agreement "It seems about right", "Yeah, so..." Psy started "No hard feelings, right?" he asked, Hilda smirked a little "Sure, No Hard feelings" she looked away from him for a little moment to look at Moe with a little smile, all he responded with was a wave, "Even towards your grump of a brother" Psy couldn't help but laugh at this and gave a nod in agreement, the two walked off and continued chatting.

Spector, though caught in his romantic moments with Cagney, noticed the conversation between Psy and Hilda, and he couldn't help but smile, for a long time he thought his closest friend would never make a friend up here, but he guessed wrong, she made not one, but two friends already, and he couldn't be more proud.
