Ep 7. For Doom

9/23/22

Daytime in the city. Sunny, looking over his shoulder, says, I think that was our worst day so far. Water Wiggler and Milk Bone both say, Agreed. Sunny turns towards the others with a guilty, defeated look and says, I'm sorry I made us check the arcade. Water Wiggler says, It's okay, Sunny!
Putting a comforting hand on Sunny's shoulder, Water Wiggler says, You couldn't have known it was infested. Sunny says, You're right. Water Wiggler continues, I'm just glad you're okay! Blushing, Sunny laughs, Oh, haha. Offscreen, Hokkaido clears his throat.
Matter-of-factly, Hokkaido says, We'd have gotten more done if you'd listened to me. Going to the arcade was idiotic. The rest of the group all look at him with varying degrees of disgust and annoyance.
Hokkaido says, I'll never give a low class object the benefit of the doubt again! Who in their right mind risks their life for candy? I swear, you're all utterly worthless sometimes! As Hokkaido talks, Sunny and Water Wiggler slowly look over at each other, before finally giving each other mischievous grins.
Sunny says, You're right, Hokkaido! By the way, we need someone to keep watch. Sunny clasps his hands together next to his face in an act of mock flattery, continuing, And you're the only one here who's brave enough.
Hokkaido happily turns away from the door to the saferoom, cheerfully walking off with his hands in the air. Hokkaido says, With pleasure, my dear! I'm glad you're finally recognizing my superior capabilities, Sunny! Hokkaido pauses as the door to the saferoom slams behind him, hands on his hips.
A text box says, Oh, as Hokkaido suddenly notices something. An infected object suddenly comes running towards him, pointed legs clacking against the ground and growling under its breath. Another text box finishes the thought and says, Fuck, as Hokkaido's eyes widen and a drop of sweat rolls down his face.
Hokkaido runs back to the saferoom door and begins banging on it with both fists, shouting, Okay I'm done looking I'm done I'm done looking! Sunny! When Hokkaido gets no response, he turns to face the parasite, terrified and screaming at the top of his lungs, Sunny! Sunny!
A silence falls over both Hokkaido and the parasite as it stops in front of him, staring him down. Then, suddenly, it turns away, walking away from him with clicking footsteps.
Confused and relieved, Hokkaido slides down the door, sound effect text behind him reading, shuff. He thinks, I'm not going to question what just happened. But I have a feeling I'm not welcome here anymore.
Later, alone in an empty apartment, Hokkaido cries, What rotten jerks! Don't they know who I am? Getting up from where he was sitting, he walks down the hall, saying, I'm sick of all these traitorous degenerates. He pauses in the middle of the next room, looking down at the ground as he says, I miss my mom and dad. The tips of three blunt claws can be seen holding the doorway.
From past the doorway, someone asks, Are you, okay? The point of view changes to show Palm Tree standing there, a look of concern on his face.
