{Translation for those unable to read the font: Hey! Me again, remember me? Great, great, well. Bad news and good news. Bad news, our interaction fucked this worlds code thus meaning the story is broken, good news is you can't still wander around and find clues.
How did I contact you? I... Actually don't know. Huh, I must've forgotten.. anyway, you'd better start looking! Oh, and, if you see anyone? Make sure not to touch them. Who knows what could happen.
In communication}
You sigh, sitting up and looking around. You were laying in.. lost and found? "Huh, wonder what story this would've been.."
Standing up, you think to yourself. "What am I even looking for?"

"Stick to the script, stick to the script.."
You nod with the words, and jog to the door, trying to open it. Locked. Looking around the space, you see a screwdriver. You grab it and don't think much of it as you run to the vent, unscrewing all of the screws.
You crawl through the vent, making it to the main entrance hall. Smiling victoriously, you jog to the stairs, getting up them quickly.

As you look around, you notice you're in the daycare. It's deserted, which is weird beca-

Silence. Nothing but silence. Your footsteps don't echo on the floor, there's no ambience, it's just deathly silent. You take a deep breath and think.

{Translation: hey, hey! Sorry, I'm being a pain in the ass, I know- but listen. I forgot to tell you where they should be. Firstly, they're in the shape of top hats that are smaller than normal- the same I wear (though you've never seen me) and there's ten.
One is here, in the daycare somewhere, the second is in el chips, third is Roxy raceway, fourth is bonnie bowl, fifth is Monty golf, seventh is Fazer blast, seventh is on the main stage, eight is near the DJ booth, ninth is in Mazercise and tenth is in the Fazcade. I know, a pot of places, but you can get in anywhere. No script, no bans, no need for party passes. I know, I'm smart, now get going!}
You shrug, the creator is a bit annoying but helpful nonetheless. You start searching, and soon find it in the jungle gym behind a wall on the bottom floor.
"One down, nine to go! Next stop, Fazerblast."

Y- ARE IN AN UNAUTHORISED AREA, PLE-
Oh.
Uh...
You, on the other side of the screen. Listen, um, your "character" is off collecting those glitching stuff, I just thought you might prefer to sit here?
I found a way to bring your consciousness here, but not the body.. don't worry! Your body, while it hasn't got your consciousness, is stil doing it's mission.
Um- sorry I'm not good with new people-
Here, uh, maybe... Take a seat?
Take some tea and biscuits. I know, I know, it's very British of me, but what can I say? I am forever doomed to my British ways.
The person in the corner?
Oh, shit- sorry, I didn't realise you could see them! You still can't see me, though... Nevermind.
Right, yes, back to the person- this gem broke free from the rest of you lot and is staying with me now. For how long, I'm not sure, but they're free to leave whenever.
Okayyyy.... Is the tea good?
.....
Right, I can't answer for you..
Honestly, it's like I'm talking to myself here.. meh.
Oh, hey, you got all of the things- cool, you'd better go now.
Why can't you stay?
You haven't given the body a mission. Without the body given a mission the consciousness cannot wander.
See you soon, then?
ERorr
You smile, triumphant. All glitchy top hats had disappeared as you touched them, and it had been counted.

You found yourself stood in Roxy's room, next to the lights. The curtains drawn, you do the logical things and turn out the lights, stumbling to the couch. You land on it, and curl up, before a cover is put over you.

{Translation: sorry if that freaked you out, I.. I thought you'd get cold. Sleep well...}
Your eyes drift shut, the weight of your body sinking into the couch, and you fall asleep within minutes.
Here's to hoping we find a flaw hidden away in the world somewhere. But that's for tomorrow.. sleep tight, adventurer.
