Yorokobi is stuck in a room filling with water every minute?!
What happened:
Yorokobi walks into the portal leading to a relatively dry, fully white room with only a speaker attached to the top right corner of the wall. The only way out is the door on the roof, which is approximately 6 km high.
The speaker starts to make a cracking sound before Kamikono's voice is heard.
"Hey, Yorobi or Yokibo, whatever.
" You are in a room that will fill with water every minute so you have to-"
Kamikono is interrupted by Yorokobi panicking.
" What?!"
She starts to breathe faster
"Water?- Every minute-? You have to be kidding me!"
She breathes faster and faster.
" Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Calm down, if you can't do this, I can transport you out of here using magic."
Kamikono reassures
" Or, I can put a fearlessness spell on you."
Yorokobi calms down
" Fearlessness spell?! Magic?! I- what?!"
" Oh, you didn't read the instruction book I gave you?"
Kamikono asks
" What instruction book?"
Yorokobi asks, then Kamikono realizes
"Oopsies"
"You didn't give her the instruct-"
Alice, from the speaker is interrupted by Kamikono
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not the point, the point now is to cast the fearlessness spell on Yoboki."
Kamikono chants a spell through the speaker
"It's Yorokobi!"
She corrects
"And wait!"
" I never gave you permission to-"
Yorokobi pauses, shocked. She starts jogging, is it from excitement? Or maybe the amount of energy filling up her body every second?
She starts to run in a circle, round and round and round.
Kamikono notices this and reminds her.
"Hey, I get you're excited and all but you have to continue the trail."
Yorokobi listen and replies with
"Huh? Oh yeah."
She starts to walk slower and slower before she collapses to the ground.
Yorokobi, barely awake, and lying on the floor of the Kamikaze building, hears panic.
" It's been half an hour since she passed out. Should we call the cops? Or no, I hate the cops! And we'll probably get arrested too!"
Alice says, as she keeps on pacing around in a circular motion.
"Calm down, Alice, can't you be more like Machiko? I just gave her a lollipop and she shut up, but you won't."
Kamikono says
"Plus, I'm pretty sure she's awake already."
Yorokobi, lying on the floor, energetically gets up to a sitting position.
"How'd you know?"
"Well, Alice was too busy overthinking and Machiko didn't care enough to notice anything."
Kamikono looks over at Yorokobi.
" Anyways, It looks like you can't complete the trials cause you passed out almost immediately."
"No, I can! Just give me a new one. Please please please!"
She begs, Kamikono cannot stand repeated shouting, it creeps her out.
She looks at Yorokobi with a somewhat disgusted face
"Nope"
Kamikono kicks her out .
So she comes the next day, and the day after that until.
"It's been six days"
Yorokobi, determined to win Kamikono's trust, enters the building, into a portal.
She's then transported into a white room with no windows and only a bed and a hole in the wall perfectly shaped into a square with buttons next to it.
"Yorobi, you have been transported into a solitary confinement, as you can see, there is a hole in the wall, you can get food just by saying what you want and pressing the button, there is a phone charger on the bed, do what you want with it."
Kamikono states
"You are to stay here until I tell you to come out, there is a door in front of you, it is unlocked 24/7 and you shall only use it to go to the bathroom. There is another door behind you, that is the exit, it is also unlocked 24/7. If you step out of the room without me telling you to, you lose."
" This should be easy enough, I have my gameboy and phone with me. I can just use those to distract me."
Yorokobi said that 24 hours ago, it is now day two.
"Ugh"
Yorokobi complains
"I'm so bored, I've been here for so looooong"
Yorokobi thinks as she lightly bites her finger.
"Why did I even choose this job? The trail is super weird already, what could the job even be?"
She bites her finger even harder, stopping the blood circulation.
She starts to see her shadow move waving at her, she blinks, as she opens her eyes, the shadow stops
She lets go of her finger, leaving a bite mark.
"Was that a ghost?"
She's shocked… And amused?!
" Hey! Come back!"
Her shadow looks at her,
" You called?"
"You can talk?"
Yorokobi asks
"Maybe I can, maybe i can't."
The shadow said
"Why are you here?"
Yorokobi asks
"To…"
The shadow stops as she avoids eye contact with Yorokobi.
It voice cracking as she states,
"To help you get out of here of course!"
"But won't it-"
Yorokobi is interrupted by her shadow
"Shhhhh you talk too much."
The shadow said
" She never said I can't get out."
"What are you up to?"
Yorokobi asks.
A mischievous smile forms as she starts to chuckle
"Haha, you'll see…"
Author's note: Machiko REALLY loves lollipops.
