The Escapists
Once they arrived they took in their surroundings. "Cow plants and a badly designed house? Looks like I'm about to visit the McBOSSes again." Jack said. Jack peaked in their mailbox. "Nothing but bills." He said. "Unless you want to donate to the Lalma Well." Billy said. "I already donated all my extra money to the Collaboration. They're really talented." Jack said. They saw a giant hole in the floor. "Hellooooo in there!!" Jack shouted. They walked into the hall with the strange cow plants. "These things give me the heebie jeebies." Billy said. "Then they're doing their jobs!" Jack said. They walked into another room with wooden floors. "Steve and Betty's room. It's locked." Jack said as he walked to one of the doors he recognized. "I can hear dishes being woshed here in the bathroom." Jack said as he pointed to another door. "Bitty's room. And it's locked. Why's everything locked??" Jack asked as he tried to open another door but failed.
"Lazy developers?" (Y/n) asked with a smirk. "You shut your mouth! All developers are amazing and hardworking and they absolutely never traumatize their main chorocters. Ever." Jack said. "Hmm hmm." (Y/n) said sarcastically, not believing Jack. "Weird thing to get passionate about." Billy agreed. "Yeah it is. It's almost like I had no choice but to say that." Jack said with embarrassment. "Why is the entire second floor a pool??" Jack asked once they entered. "Didn't you build this house?" (Y/n) asked skeptically. "I guess we'll never know!" Jack said cheerfully. They walked over to another door. "Hey, there's a note on the door. "Due to a fire on Tuesday, this room has been sealed by the fire department until they are sure that it is structurally safe." (Y/n) said as she read the note. "Damn it, Betty." Jack cursed. The group entered a small tv room. "Weird. Nothing's on it but "speed is key." I wonder what that means." Jack said. (Y/n) looked at him in disbelief. "What?" Jack asked. "Didn't you coin that phrase?" She asked. "Geez, you really are an idiot."
"I meant in this context, (Y/n)!" Jack said. (Y/n) turned to the paintings on the wall. "Nice paintings." She said. "Yeah, because if there's one thing this room needed, it was a pointless painting of a night sky." Billy added. "What is with the attitude?" Jack asked, slightly annoyed. "Maybe you just don't understand great art." Jack fired back. "Why do you have a painting of a flower on the wall?" Billy asked, referring to the black painting of a white flower. "I don't know. Why are you so annoying?" (Y/n) snarled. "Good question." Jack said, and Billy turned to glare at him. "Oh shut up!" He snapped. "Nice crack in the wall." (Y/n) said, and they all turned to look. "Worst interior designing ever." Billy said.
"Pretty sure I never designed this house to have cracks in the wall, guys." Jack said. "Well then what's that, a portal to an alien prison?" (Y/n) asked. "Now that's just stupid!" Jack snapped. "Hello?" A voice suddenly asked from the other side. This caught everyone's attention and their eyes widened and Jack jumped back. "IT IS AN ALIEN!!!" He shouted. "Wait, can you hear me?" The voice asked. "So you DID put an alien civilization on the other side of this wall." Billy said. "Um, I'm pretty sure that's not an option in the sims, Billy." (Y/n) said, slightly uneasy. "Exactly. I didn't. And I can prove it. I just need to find a hammer or something." Jack said.
"Then let's go find one." (Y/n) said. They began searching the house, until they eventually found one in a place they'd least expect it. "Why's there a hammer in the cooker?" Jack asked. "Maybe it's used to build the rockets!" Billy said. "What rockets?" (Y/n) asked. "There are no rockets here." Jack said. "Huh. Probably crashed it off world." Billy said. They walked back into the small tv room and to the crack in the wall. "Stand back!" Jack said, then whacked the wall with the hammer until the crack was big enough for them to enter. Once they walked in, they saw a young teenage girl with blonde hair, wearing a purple jacket. "Well, what do you think of your alien civilization пow?" She asked. "It's... a girl." (Y/n) said. Her eyes widened when she recognized Jack. "Jack?" She asked with excitement. "Uhh, well, my alien civilization looks like a very nice person who isn't going to hit me for covering her in dust. Heh." Jack chuckled nervously. "Real smooth." (Y/n) said sarcastically. Her eyes lit up as she recognized her too. "Hey! I know you too! You're (Y/n), right?" She asked, and her eyes widened. "It's nice to meet you two!" The girl said.
Same here." Jack said. "And, thank you all for saving me from... this place. Wherever it is." She said. "Seriously though, are you okay?" (Y/n) asked her. "I think so, yes." She replied. "Great! So... who are you? I mean, I don't recognize you, which is weird because I've recognized everyone so far. What game are you from?" Jack asked curiously. The girl looked rather confused by the question. "Sorry, I don't follow." She said. "Well... everyone here is from a game. So which one is yours?" (Y/n) clarified. "I... uhh... I still don't understand..." the girl said. "(Y/n), I know everyone in here. And, unless Jack was playing something brand new before you got sucked in, I don't know who she is. She's not in any of your installation files." Billy said. "How do you even know this?" Jack asked him suspiciously. "Well, it's not like I have anything else to do between being torn up for your amusement." Billy snapped, and the girl glared at him. "Wait... you're Billy?" She asked. "That's what he named me." Billy said. "Billy, shut your mouth before I shut it for you." Jack said. "Now I'm even more confused." The girl said. "Okay let's start over. How did you get stuck in the wall inside the MoBOSs's house?"
(Y/n) asked. "I don't know. I was watching Jack's newest video and then I just... woke up here." She replied. "Oh... she's one of your subscribers!" (Y/n) said to Jack. "Wait... you're a subscriber?" Billy asked in surprise. "To Jack? Yes. What does that have to do with it?" The girl asked. "Oh! Perfect! I found a subscriber! One saved, only a few million to go!" Jack said. "Great, that will probably take about a decade or so." (Y/n) said sarcastically. "Now what do I do with it? I mean her?" Jack asked. "Good one, Jack. Calling them an it." (Y/n) said. "I'm even more confused. Why are you here? With Billy? And (Y/n)? And what about the McBOSSes? Weren't they your Sims 4 Family?" The girl asked. "Oh. Right. You probably know even less about what's going on than I do. Uhh, sorry. So, don't panic but we're kinda stuck inside my computer." Jack said. "Umm.. okay. I mean... that's good. Right? I mean you'd know your way around, wouldn't you?" She replied. "You'd think that'd be the case..." (Y/n) said.
"Listen, something weird happened out there. All my subscribers got uploaded to my computer. I'm not sure how." Jack said. "Okay. I guess that is more believable than you flying down to Australia, knocking me out, locking me inside a doorless room, and then breaking me out of said room with your Fictitious archenemy." The girl said. "I like this girl." (Y/n) said. "Exactly! It's totally believable!" Jack said. "So... now what?" The girl asked. "Well I don't feel right leaving you here by yourself. So... do you want to come with us?" Jack asked. "I guess. I mean it's not every day you get to hang out with your favorite YouTubers and... their least favorite character." She replied. "I'm your favorite? Aww, thanks!" Jack said. "I can see his ego growing already." (Y/n) mumbled. "I'm their least favorite? Thanks a lot." Billy frowned. "I thought you already knew that." Jack said, and Billy turned to glare at him and the girl laughed. "Anyway, what's your name?" (Y/n) asked the girl, and she smiled. "I'm Jenny." She said. "Well welcome aboard, Jenny!" Jack smiled at her, and she smiled back. "Oh, also... I found this thing on the floor.
Do you know what it is?" Jenny asked, as she showed them what she found. "Oh! That's the hydrospersion key Alphys asked for! Awesome!" Jack said. "Alphys from Undertale?" Jenny asked. "Long story. Anyway, let's go!" Jack said. As the group went back to the room where they started, cops were standing there waiting for them. "Wait, why are there cops?" (Y/n) asked. "You're under arrest for breaking and entering!" One of them said. "Wait what??" (Y/n) asked. The cops rushed at them and attacked. Later on, Jack and (Y/n) were locked up in the same jail cell. "Oh come on!" Jack shouted furiously. "You have GOT to be kidding me." (Y/n) said. The two walked out of their jail cell and a cop noticed. "What do you two think YOU'RE doing?" He asked. "Just admiring this nice prison!" Jack said. "Get lost." The cop said. "Can't let you two through. Use the door next to me." The other cop said once they tried to get out through another door. Jack sighed. "Come on." He led (Y/n) into a room where they saw some familiar faces. "There you two are! Get in line!" Another cop shouted, and the two quickly ran into the line. "Okay, listen up, maggots! We've got a few new faces here at the Jack MicSwaggerson Correctional Facility." The cop said.
"Now, onto business. I want to address the person who has been defacing the guard schedule by the main office! If we ever find out who did it, you will be crushed." The cop threatened, and Jack rolled his eyes. "Ooh, I'm so scared." He said, and the cop turned and glared at him. "What was that, maggot?!" He demanded. "N- nothing." Jack said quickly. "You, over here. Now." The cop said to Jack. He made his way over slowly. The cop then took out a bat and hit him and he groaned in pain, and (Y/n) cringed. "Ooh." "You like that?" The cop asked, before hitting him again. "How about that?" He asked. "Okay, okay! I'm sor- ow!" (Y/n) cringed again. "Yeah. Think about it next time you catch an attitude, maggot." The cop said.
"Remember that the punishment for attacking an officer is a trip to solitary!" The other cop said. "And a broken nose! Which we'll then blame on OTHER maggots!" "Exactly. Dismissed. Have a lovely day." Jack scoffed at that, and the cop got in one last hit on him. "Ow!" (Y/n) walked over to him. "Are you okay?" She asked, chuckling a bit. "Yeah, just peachy." Jack snapped. Jack and (Y/n) sat at a lunch table together with other prisoners. "So, I guess there are no trials in Wireland." Jack said. "Nope. Martial law." Billy replied. "Shoot, I should have played Ace Attorney on the channel..." Jack said with regret. "Wait, shouldn't you be in juvie?" (Y/n) asked Billy in confusion. "Yeah, I remember when Jack played Hard Times: Kids Edition. And then there was the Primary School Escapists." Billy said. "Yeah. I did. Riddle School." Jack said. "Sadly, an escape from the psychological prison of boredom at school is not quite the same thing as escaping from prison." Billy said. "So basically... the same reason we don't have trials?" (Y/n) asked. "Yup." Billy said. "So. What are Mark and Felix doing here?" Jack asked. "It's your fault. If our fan bases weren't so connected, we wouldn't be in so many of your fan games." Mark said angrily. "Aren't I worth going to prison for?" Jack asked. "No." Felix said. "But I'd go to prison for you!" Jack said innocently, and (Y/n) raised an eyebrow. "Would you though?" She asked. "Of course I would, (Y/n)!"
Jack snapped, and (Y/n) still raised an eyebrow. "I mean, maybe..." Jack said sheepishly. "Uh huh." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, well that's no surprise. You were always a suck-up." Felix said. "These are some lovely friends you have here, buddy." (Y/n) said. "Oh fadoodle you!!" Jack snapped, then his eyes widened at what he had said and everyone laughed. "Wait... was I just censored? I can't fracturing swear in my own computer??" Jack asked, and (Y/n) bursted into laughter. "Oh! That must be Evie's autocorrect at work." Billy said. "I'm honestly surprised you didn't notice until now." Billy said. "That makes two of us." (Y/n) said. "Why does Evie autocorrect my own computer?" Jack asked. "She doesn't usually. She autocorrects anyone within earshot of me because I'm a kid. And Bobby told her to." Billy said. "Should have known it was Evie." Jack said in annoyance. "Well, it is The Escapists so I guess we escape?" Jenny asked.
"Duh, Jack." (Y/n) said, and Jack rolled his eyes. "Awesome! An escope plan! I'm totally in!" Chloe said. "Why are Max and Chloe from Life Is Strange in here?" Jack asked. "Oh, I dunno. Breaking and entering. Using a gun without a permit. Inadvertent manslaughter of masses of people..." Max said. "That sure is a lot of reasons why they're here." (Y/n) said. "That one was all you. Thanks for saving me, Jack!" Chloe said. "You're welcome. Anyway, l did notice... this prison is kind of sparse." Jack said. "Yeah, about that... everyone broke out. Except us." Felix said. "Why didn't you all break out?" Billy asked. "We were the ones in solitary." Mark said. "What did you do?" (Y/n) asked. "We were caught trying to escape. In broad daylight." Max said. "Well that wasn't very smart." (Y/n) deadpanned. "My bad. I thought those guard uniforms would protect us." Mark said, causing (Y/n) to face palm. "Well, I guess it's a good thing you're here. We can learn from your failed escape attempt." She said. "Yep. Attempt. Singular. We haven't been in here for a month. Nope." Mark said. "At least there ore no contraband detectors. This is one easy prison!" Jenny said. "Yep. Super easy. We're totally looking forward to your escape plan." Mark said. "Or, you know, at least looking forward to watching it fail. Miserably." Felix said, and (Y/n) bursted into laughter. "Everyone here has SO much confidence in us." Billy said sarcastically.
"I think we can escape if we all work together." Jenny said. "I'm in." Max said. "Me too. It's hella boring in here." Chloe said. "Do you still have time travel abilities?" (Y/n) asked Max. "No. I think this game is interfering with my canonical powers." Max said. "Well I'm sure we can think of something if we put our heads together." Jack said. "Well I've gotten out of worse serapes than this in games." Jack said. "I noticed on my way to roll call that the storage room for all the confiscated items is right in the middle of the entrance hallway." Jenny said. "Me too, but it's always being guarded." Billy said. "I'm sure we can come up with an easy way to distract the guard and get ourselves in there." Jack said. "I think so too!" Jenny said. "Just let us know how we can help."
Jack and (Y/n) walked into a hallway and see a police officer blocking a door. Jack saw his name. "Ha! Your name is Officer Officer??" He asked. "I'm the best at naming." Jack said. "What do you want?" The officer asked. "Mostly, I just want to know why we're here." Jack said. "Oh you have QUITE a rap sheet! Vehicular manslaughter, first degree murder, second degree murder, day time robbery, night time robbery, armed robbery, impersonating a priest..." (Y/n) tried not to laugh. "Performing surgery without a license, cruelty to goats, breaking and entering, blowing up an orphanage, wearing socks with sandals..." "I never wore socks with sandals!!" Jack shouted. "Really? Out of all the crimes I listed, THAT'S the one you take issue with?" The officer asked. "Fair enough. Okay, so I actually have to go into that room to grab my... completely necessary mnedication." Jack lied. (Y/n) face palmed. Like he was going to fall for that. "Nice try. But nothing's going to fool me." The officer said. "LOOK!!! A DISTRACTION!!!" (Y/n) shouted, pointing to the right. "Where?" The officer asked, then ran off. "It is absolutely ridiculous that that worked." Jack said.
"What a weird way to arrange this room." Jack said, as he and (Y/n) stepped into the next room. "I think that cool silver box on the other side of the room has all my stuff in it!" (Y/n) said. Once they figured out what they had to do, which was a puzzle, the puzzle being to move each crystal in the room onto each square in the room, Jack tried to open the door, but it was locked. "It won't open." "Seriously?" (Y/n) asked. She tried to open it too, to no avail. "If only we could contact Billy or Jenny somehow." Jack said. "Um, what about the phone booth?" (Y/n) asked, in a tone that was obvious. Jack looked at her in confusion. "What phone booth?" She pointed to the other side of the room and raised an eyebrow. "Oh..." Jack said.
The duo went over to it to call Jenny and Billy. "So you're stuck in the storage room, huh?" Billy teased. "Just get us out of here, okay?" Jack asked in annoyance. "We can do that, no problem!" Jenny said. "I guess we'll wait here then." Jack said. "Not like we have a choice." Jack deadpanned. "Bye, Jack and (Y/n)!" Jenny said. The group walked into a mini library, where they see Mark. "Um... um, excuse me? Mark?" Jenny asked. He turned to look at the group. "Yeeeees?" He asked. "So, uhh... I was wondering if you happened to know..." Jenny began. "How can we knock out a guard in one hit?" Billy asked. "Do you let him interrupt you like that all the time?" Mark asked. "No, I mean not really. I just met this guy." Jenny said. "A word to the wise: don't let this little shilling interrupt you. Anyway, you could try a cup of molten chocolate. You'd need a chocolate bar, a lighter, and a cup. I'm sure you can steal those ingredients anywhere." Mark said.
"Actually, they're probably in the kitchen. If you jiggle the handle enough, it'll open, even when it's locked." "Thank you!" Jenny said. The group go into the kitchen. "There's a chocolate bar in here!" Jenny said. "Perfect." Billy said as he took the chocolate bar. Billy found a cup. "Found a cup!" He announced. "So where do you think we can find a lighter?" Jenny asked. "I dunno. Do you smoke?" Billy asked. "Only when I'm on fire." Jenny joked. "Cute. Well I know someone who does." Billy said. The group walked over to Chloe and Max. "Chloe, you smoke! Give me your lighter!" Billy said. "Did a cop put you up to this?" She asked, slightly irritated. "Actually no. We want to use a lighter to knock one out." Billy said. "Cool. Take it." Chloe gave hers to Billy. They go back to Mark. "We have everything!" Billy said. "Great! Give me a second. Mark put all of the things together. "Here. Man, I always thought it was funny that this stays molten for as long as it does. It'd be a lot less dangerous and a lot more sticky if it was a cup of regular chocolate." He said, giving to Billy, who took it.
"Thanks." They left the room and over to the guard blocking the door. "Scram, maggots!" Jenny threw the mix in the guard's face. "AAH MY FACE!!!" The guard ran away, and Billy tried to open the door. "It's locked!" He said. "I'm sure we can figure out the code!" Jenny said. The duo left and went back to the booth. "We're having some issues, guys." Jenny said nervously. "Yeah, the door has a combination lock. Can you help us?" Billy asked. "We can, actually! There's a thing on the wall!" Jack said. "I don't know what day of the week it is, but the officer on duty is Officer Officer. Anyway, there's a different code for every day." (Y/n) said.
MONDAY: 7326
TUESDAY:5283
WEDNESDAY: 7267
THURSDAY: 5225
FRIDAY: 6275
SATURDAY: 7879
SUNDAY: 2459
"Thanks, Jack! Now all we have to do is figure out the day of the week!" Jenny said. "I think the guard schedule is around here somewhere." Billy said. The two kids walked back. "We might have an idea." Jenny said. She put in a certain order. "Got it!" Jenny said. Jack and (Y/n) both came out. "Thanks, Jenny." Jack said. "Yeah, thanks for getting us out." (Y/n) said. "It was no trouble." Jenny said. "Actually it was a lot of trouble." Billy said. "Shut up, Billy." Jack said, and (Y/n) snickered. "What do you want to do now, Jack?" (Y/n) asked. "I need to visit a certain Swedish friend of mine." Jack said. Both Jack and (Y/n) go out to where Felix is. "Sup?" Felix asked. "You know what's "sup." You'e got our hydrospersion key." Jack said. "Says you." Felix said. "Give it back." Jack demanded. "And what are you going to do about it?" Felix asked. "Oh, I have an idea." Jack said. Suddenly options appeared below them, as if they had just started a battle.
You played Happy Wheels...
You played Amnesia..
"You played Amnesia in broad daylight, 20 feet away from the screen, and you know it's true!!" (Y/n) said. "Roasted! Burned! incinerated!" Jack said, and (Y/n) laughed. "You were really jumpy during PT, and the holes in your ceiling prove it!!" Felix said. "That was terrible. That was weak." Jack said.
Your channel...
Your fans...
Jack went for the channel option
is nothing but clickbait, and they're not even falling for it!
would sell out for a cheap yo-yo if it pa
"Your channel would sell out for a cheap yo-yo, you money-hungry twit!!" Jack said, and (Y/n) laughed. "Your voice cracks so easily, not even superglue can repair it, you prepubescent green highlighter!" Felix said. They saw the next options
Your face...
Your voice...
Jack picked the voice option
A. is so hoarse, you sound like you've been smoking since nursery school.
B...is so incoherent, youtube captions try to translate you from Undu.
"Your voice is so incoherent, youtube captions try to translate you from Urdu, and that's a fact!!" Jack said. "Your fans find you so boring, you could yell them to sleep, and you wouldn't be here if it weren't true!" Felix said. "That last part makes no sense, like deciphering your accent." (Y/n) said. "BURN!" Jack said.
Your family...
Your dog Edgar...
Jack went for the dog option.
A could beat you in an 10 test.
B. has actually read his namesake, unlike you.
"Your dog Edgar could beat you in an 1Q test, you son of a barrel!" Jack said. "Well you must be a potato because you are what you eat!!" Felix said. "I don't really eat potatoes all that much, but okay..." Jack said. "Well you're one duck shy of a-" (Y/n) began. "What's going on here??" An officer asked. "That's it! Straight to solitary!" Both Jack and (Y/n) were locked up in a small room. "Oh perfect." Jack said. "Time to call for help. Again." (Y/n) said, going over to the pay phone. "So... you need more help." Billy smirked. "It almost sounds like you don't want to help us." Jack said. "Of course we'll help you, Jack and (Y/n)!" Jenny said.
"See, Billy? Jenny's nice. Be more like Jenny." Jack said. "I mean Jenny is your fan. And you'd think, her being here BECAUSE she's your fan, that she'd be a little less forgiving." Billy said. "I don't mind. This is fun!" Jenny said. "See if you can find the right key, okay? The guards usually carry them." (Y/n) said. "I don't think we should knock out more guards..." Jenny said. "You could ask around. See if you can find another way." Jack said. They meet up with Chloe and Max. "So... we need to bust both Jack and (Y/n) out. Do you know how we could do that?" Billy asked. "Well, my old room mate stole and collected a bunch of keys. She put them on the table in the lower left cell. But I don't know which is which. She left a sheet of paper with a weird poem on it. It looks like it has something to do with which key is in which container but I can't figure it out. Maybe you can." Max said. Max gave them the clues, and Billy looked at them.
They walked back to the phone booth. "So, Max gave us some clues." "Yeah, but they're kinda hard to decipher." Billy said. "No water, you see, for the office key. The kitchen is said to be hidden in red Solitary, I fear, is devoid of beer. The flowers bloom farthest from cellular rooms." He read. "Well, you can figure it out on your own but I think I might have an idea of how to solve it." Jack said. "We're stumped. Go for it." "The office key holder doesn't hold water. The kitchen key is in something red. The beer mug doesn't hold the key to solitary. The pot of flowers is farthest from the key to the cells." Jack said. They unlocked the doors to their rooms get them out. "You got it!" Jack said as he and (Y/n) walked out. "You guys are the best!" (Y/n) said. "Are you both all right?" Jenny asked. "Yeah! Sure! Never better! Outside of being stuck in my computer, I guess." Jack said.
"Well, you were in there for quite a while. I hear solitary does things to you." "Nah, not a problem! Things just bounce off me! I'm like rubber!" Jack said, and (Y/n) laughed. "Exactly." She said. "So after all that, do you think we can actually, you know, get out of here??" Billy asked. "I think that can be arranged. Though it's getting dark. It's probably time for evening roll call." Jack said. "Now I'd better not see any more trouble! Or you're ALL going to solitary." The officer said, once they were all in roll call. "And don't even THINK about escaping tonight!" The other officer said. "We have guards set up at all the perimeters. Nothing's gonna get past us! So just go to bed. It's going to be a long, hard time. Dismissed!" The first one said. That night, all of them were in their own rooms. "So... are we planning on escape attempt or something?" Jack asked. "Well. it's not broad daylight. But I do think we need the cop uniforms." (Y/n) said. "You're in luck. I've got the laundry job and l just snagged a whole bunch of them." Chloe smirked. "I found a prisoner's stash with a shovel in it."
"The only problem is that we don't have the keys to the cell." Max said. "I still have that piece of paper from earlier. Let me see if I can figure out which of these objects holds it." Jenny searched around her room, until finally picking up the right key and her door opened. "Got it!" She opened (Y/n)'s door and walked into her room. "This is so exciting!" She said. "You're telling me!! Okay, you unlock everyone's cells. Chloe, you get the guard uniforms out. And (Y/n), dig through the floor!" Jack said. After a few moments, all of them were wearing guard uniforms. "Let's move out!" Jack said. They walked through a crack on the floor. "Why is there a hedge maze underneath a prison?" Jack asked. "Alphys did say games would blend into each other." (Y/n) said. "Still, that's pretty weird." Jack said. "I think we can get out if we wander around enough!" (Y/n) said. They walked through the dark maze together, until they found Sans. "Sans?? What are you doing here??" Jack asked. "Heya. Wanna buy some merch?" He asked. "We're kinda trying to escape from prison." Jack said.
"Perfect. Wanna buy a lockpick?" Sans asked, and (Y/n) face palmed. "Ugh, yup. That's Sans for ya." She said. "How did you even get here?" Jack asked. "That's for me to know and you to not know. So... lockpick?" "NO, SANS, NO-" (Y/n) quickly covered her mouth. "Thanks, but I think we'll take our chances." Jack said. "Suit yourself." Sans disappeared. After walking through the maze a bit more, they walked up some steps through a crack in the wall. They looked around, and it looked as if they had entered another game. "I'm happy to be out of the maze. So let's NOT go back." Jack said. "I agree on that." (Y/n) said. They walked back into Jack's house, and back into his recording room, and some characters that weren't there before were there now. Jack brightened up. "Hey! It's Night In The Woods characters!" He said cheerfully, and the characters perked up at the mention of their game. "Are you smoking in my recording room??" Jack asked. "YES AND NO. THIS IS YOUR ROOM AND I DO HAVE A CIGARETTE IN MY MOUTH. BUT I AM NOT SMOKING." Bea said. "How does that logic work?" (Y/n) asked. "It's glowing." She said.
"MY CIGARETTES ARE ALL LIT. IT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY WERE DRAWN." She said. "Then why do you have it out?" Jack asked. "BECAUSE HAVING IT WITH ME MAKES IT EASIER TO TOLERATE MY FRIENDS." She said. "WOW. HARSH." Mae said. "BUT I THOUGHT YOU LOVED US!!" Gregg said. "I DO. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THIS CIGARETTE INSTEAD OF AVOIDING YOU AT ALL COSTS." (Y/n) burst out laughing. "BUT, JACK, IF AT ANY POINT YOU DO SMELL SMOKE, I ADVISE YOU TO CHECK THE KITCHEN." "Or don't! That works too!" Undyne said. "And that says it all." (Y/n) said. "Oh good! I s-see you have my hydrospersion key! Thank you!" Alphys said. "You're very welcome. It was no problem." Jack said, handing her the key. "Speak for yourself." Billy said. "S-sorry, I don't think I recognize you... Jack's other companion." Alphys said. "Oh! I'm Jenny. Nice to meet you, Alphys. You were always my favorite." Jenny said. "W-wow, really? Thanks!" She blushed. "So did you make any progress on that firewall?" Jack asked. "Well.. sorry, Jack, but whoever installed it really knew what they were doing.
I can't m-make a dent in it. The best I can do is send you for the rest of the keys." Alphys said. "Soooo. Back to Wireland for next two keys?" Jack asked. "I-if you don't mind." She replied. "You were gone a REALLY long time this time. What'd you do?" Undyne asked. "You really don't want to know what we went through for this part." Billy said. "To put it plainly, we got arrested, and had to break out." (Y/n) said. "WELL I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK! AND THAT YOU BROUGHT NEW FRIENDS!" Papyrus said. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT GAME SHE'S FROM, UNDYNE?" Papyrus asked. "Oh, she's not from a game." (Y/n) said. "Woah, are you ANOTHER player?" Undyne asked. "I love your game. It's one of my favorites." Jenny said. "No love for mine, I see." Billy said. "Everyone has their own opinion." Jack said. "Actually, Alphys, I have a question for you. Well, for all of you, really." Jack said. "How come some of the Wireland residents act exactly like their game counterparts while others... don't?" Jack asked. "It's... sort of a combination of canon and wh-whatever life the player gives us." Alphys said. "Jack gives you life?" (Y/n) asked.
"Of course. He influences canon as much as canon." Alphys said. "How do l influence canon?" Jack asked. "YOU KIND OF FILL IN ALL THE GAPS THE WRITERS LEFT OUT. LIKE GIVING US VOICES. AND OUR LITTLE STORIES." Bea said. "OH IS THAT WHY ALPHYS AND I SOUND REALLY SIMILAR? I ALWAYS JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE WERE WERE SEPARATED AT BIRTH. WE LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE." Mea said. "I mean, not really." (Y/n) said. "Well, in this world, in rare cases, characters might get enough attention that they sort of gain their own personality!" Billy explained. "Exactly. Otherwise, the characters d-default to canon and nothing else." Alphys said. "I see..." (Y/n) said. "So. Long story short, I'm screwed if I run into any villainous characters from games I didn't give much attention to?" Jack asked. "Oh man, you'd be in SERIOUS danger!" Undyne laughed. "Oh no..." Jack covered his face. "There's a chance they might r-resent you for NOT giving them the attention they wanted." Alphys said. "Evil characters with a grudge. Great." (Y/n) said. "Yep. Excited yet?" Undyne asked. "Can't wait!" (Y/n) gave a pretend thumbs up. "PLEASE DON'T DIE RIGHT AFTER MEETING US. WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH DEAD PEOPLE IN OUR GAME!!" Mae said. "BUT IF YOU DO DIE, AT LEAST SEND US BACK A LIMB." Bea said. "WE PROMISE TO POKE IT WITH A STICK!!" Gregg said. "l've programmed the front door to lead to the approximate location of the next key." Alphys said. "Okiedokie! Come on, team!" Jack said. "Yup, let's roll out!" (Y/n) said.
