You, experiment (REDACTED), were chosen as a sort of “friend” for Experiment 1188, also known as Theodore, or, how he was supposed to be seen, Catnap. You were tranquilized, and taken out of your cell in the labs, deep in the Playtime Co. Factory, and to his own cell.

Meanwhile, 2 scientists rolled you along in a big cart to 1188’s room. One was male, and sounded… less than happy to be doing his job (rightfully so) and a woman who sounded pretty indifferent to any suffering from any of the experiments. Poor kids, mutilated and changed into big toy experiments, made to entertain others. You woke up slightly, enough to hear a conversation between them.

Scientist 1 (Male): … Is it just me, or does it feel kinda wrong to be doing this?

Scientist 2 (Female): Doing what?

Scientist 1: I don’t know… this whole job. You know, just doing all this stuff to these kids… doesn’t it bother you?

Scientist 2: Eh. Not really. The trick is to just focus on doing the job, not focusing on what you actually do in that job. Does that make sense?

Scientist 1: Kinda, but… he sighed I don’t know.

You made it to 1188’s room, and was dropped in there with 1188, or Catnap… or Theodore. Whatever you want to call him. Anyway, you slowly got up, the effects of the tranquilizer wearing off, and looked around the room. There were blocks, surprisingly colorful walls compared to the cold and gray ones of the lab hallways outside, and toys. But it didn’t seem… happy. It felt fake… probably because it was, and the darkness that covered most of the room wasn’t helping. The two scientists from earlier watched you through the window as you looked around, and you eventually spotted the experiment you were paired with for this.

Experiment 1188.

He seemed to be sleeping, but you couldn’t tell, considering he was lying facing away from you and the window the scientists were watching through. He didn’t say anything, he breathed quietly, and seemed to have a depressed air to him. And that was completely understandable, as you were an experiment yourself and knew what he felt like.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
