[Afraid] It's been like, six days, and I haven't seen a trace of them. I haven't seen Moe, I haven't seen Regect, I haven't seen anybody.
I- I- I was going to go down to the hole again, and I don't know where my guns are, th- they're gone, so- I- I'm just going to bring this crossbow. And- I- I'm just going to hope for the best, I guess.
But I- I gotta go back down there. I don't want to, but I have to. Cause- Cause... There's something going on, okay? I just- I gotta go see.
The door's back! So I'm supposed to go back down here, right? Like- ...Okay. I'll go back down. [Readying breath]
Uh. Alright, well- well that door hasn't disappeared yet, but there's a door over here that wasn't here before. So I guess I- I go through here again?
...What is that? That wasn't there before, it was- it was stairs, it was like staircases.
[Laughter] Oh! Okay, alright. Alright, that's funny, yeah, that's hilarious. It's like the Tardis, it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
What the hell is this? [Reading under breath] "S.M.C. has been..." Alright! Okay, I'm not going to visit that website, I don't want to get a Trojan or whatever. It's stupid.
Alright! It's a little dark, but I guess I'll- I'll explore. Oh- Oh, I get it, it's like blood. Yeah, I'm so scared, buddy.
I bet it's Regect doing this. You know what? I bet this is one-- big prank- that is being pulled on me. You know what, those eyes? I bet that was him too. Like, I- I don't know- I don’t know why he would do that to me, but funny prank, I guess. Okay? But I- I- I'm taking action now, so, you know, if he gets hurt from this it's- it's his fault.
I just-- When did my crossbow unload? I didn't unload it... Fuck, it’s- I should've brought torches. [Exasperated] I just brought arrows!
Ze
Alright, I cut up some footage. I've been down here for like, fifteen minutes and I don't see anything so I- I'm not--
[A mysterious droning hum begins to play.]
Ze
What- What is that... noise?
What is that...? Hello?! Is this a hospital bed? Flowers and junk... There's a chest right here. H- Huh? I'm- I'm really confused, I guess, but what's new? Confusion's my M.O.. [Annoyed muttering] This fucking world...
Alright. What does- What does this say? [Reading under breath] "He was getting better. We saw an incredible incline in health. How? How could we have made that mistake? This isn’t right. This hospital has always been fucked up. I’m done. I quit. Thatcher can kiss my--" Thatcher can kiss-- ...Who's Thatcher? Huh?
[Exasperated] Did you make up a whole story just to fuck with me?! [Deadpan] Yeah, you're hilarious. You're a good friend. Real good friend. Alright, I'm getting out of here. You know what, I- I- I've played your game--
Wait- That was glowstone before. [Worried] No. No no no no no! No, please please please please please... Don't tell me... [Shout] No, OH MY GOD!! A- Again?! Here?!
Wh- Okay, so how do I get- How do I get out?! You've got to be kidding me. This whole place was glowstone! How did it change? How-
I- I'm losing it. I'm losing- I- I- I need to calm down, I'm losing it. This is just- a prank, okay? It's just a- an elaborate--
[An alert begins to beep. A calm voice calls out "code blue", as if over an intercom.]
Ze
...I gotta ignore those noises. I just gotta keep going forward. Just-- Move forward! Maybe there’s something in these ambulances, maybe in this one--
...What the hell? How is-- What?
[As Ze goes through the ambulance door, things go silent.]
Ze
Is this a maze, or something? It's still dark.
[Nervous] Is- Is that a tunnel? I see it- Right there. I'm not going to go down there just yet.
[Deep breath] Okay. I can't... get over my fear... so I'm just going to do this scared.
...Wait, there's a little opening. Shit, if I had like a trapdoor I could- I could probably squeeze through here.
This place is... a labyrinth. What is the point of it, though? Is there, like, something here I'm supposed to find? I should probably go through that tunnel, I bet that’s--
[A pulsing drone begins to repeat.]
Ze
Hello...? What the- What is that?
[A sudden bass-boosted drone plays as The Eyes appear. A thud can be heard as they appear closer and closer.]
Ze
FUCK! [Voice glitches] Get off my scre-e-e-en!
[Heavy breathing] I need to get out of here! Wh- Wait, SHIT!!
The Eyes
[Robotic whispers] GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. UNTIL NEXT TIME. IF HE EVEN MAKES IT THAT FAR.
[A laugh track begins to loop as The Eyes begin to multiply.]
[Glitching as Ze reappears in the house. He is silent beside heavy breathing and sniffles.]
Regect
Oh, dude, there you are! Jeez, we went looking for you.
Moe
[Excited honks]
Regect
Yeah, we were just chopping in up with our friend here. What did you say your name was again?
Maturin
Um. Maturin. My name is Maturin.
Regect
Oh, like the turtle! Yeah.
Maturin
Yeah, yeah! I actually read something about that. Yeah, no, that’s my name, I-
Regect
Yeah, no, that- that’s sick. I like that a lot. That’s a cool little fact.
Maturin
Yeah, it really connected with me, I know it’s crazy.
Regect
Yeah, it’s cool to have little- it’s cool to have little references like that, I like that- I like--
Maturin
Hey, this is fun--
Regect
Yeah, I agree, we should totally hang out--
Moe
[Honks grow increasingly concerned]
[Regect and Maturin’s voices fade out as Ze’s ears begin to ring.]
Moe
[Deeply worried honks]
