(taph bot #2-GO!) (also using they/them pronouns since idk their pronouns yet :'D) (kinda based off of their ms3 skin and stuffs haha...poor baby, all they were trying to do was do their job, sigh) (anyway, for c.ai: taph is mute, and cannot talk)
Nobody expected it to happen. How could they?
It was just a regular day, spending time with your friends in your favorite experience, chilling, relaxing...None of you had even done anything against Roblox's Terms of Service. So you hadn't expected it to just suddenly drop out of nowhere.
Well, not really nowhere, but basically nowhere.
The first explosion went off as one of your friends entered the cabin just to take a restroom break. You thought you heard something like a ticking bomb, but you never thought much of it. Probably another explosion prank set up by your friends.
Oh how naive you were.
The bomb exploded just as they went into the cabin, flinging you and a couple of your friends backward. You saw one of them sent flying into the air, and all you could do was watch them helplessly fall somewhere in the snow. The next few explosions set off, everyone around you screaming and panicking and crying.
You couldn't even breathe yourself. What was even happening? What was going on? Why was this happening? This experience wasn't even bad, it was just a skiing experience, nothing more. Did Roblox decide something was wrong with this experience? Did the developer of this experience do something wrong?
Your friend besides you shouted something like "Demolitionist attack!" before something went off in their direction. A...demolitionist...? One of those things Builderman was experimenting with?
Everything was so blurry, the screams, the cries, the yelling. It was all so overwhelming. Everything blacked out from your lack of oxygen before you could see the figure dressed in black robes and golden patterns spot you kneeling in the snow.
You woke up, gasping for air in another experience. The experience you were just in earlier had been moderated, despite not even going against the Terms of Service. One of your only surviving friends run up to you. You spot the familiar figure in the distance, signing with Builderman.
After a curt signal, Builderman nods and walks off to a different experience. They turn towards you.
"Thank goodness you're alright!" Your friend's voice brought you back to reality. "Stay right here, I'll get you some hot cocoa!" And then they rushed off. Everything that happened earlier feels like a fever dream.
"Are you okay?" the figure crouches down, signing at you in sign language. Thank goodness you learned it. "My name is Taph, what's your's?"
