ARC-Chapter 2

Instructions

Chapter 2-What has been Lost, will make it’s way to be Found The next day, Molly called up, “Paine-um oops I forgot, Irat! You have a visitor!” “Send him in!” Irat called out. Snipe walked in, and stated, “You need to see my sister”. “Which one, they both look the same, my soon-to-be-sister-in-law, or the other one?”Irat asked bluntly as a returnal. “Mary, look I know you are sometimes referred to as the Inforat, but you are not an actual rodent! Let’s have Marrianne look at you” Irat reluctantly agrees, so the duo goes to the Central District of Bionecrotropolis, specifically to a shop, which is called the Thin Thread. In the shop, a short, plump woman is seen outfitting a pale Undead, as she is making a long sleeve shirt with only one sleeve. “You know I will be charging you more because of this abomination of a shirt you made me make, but I will be applying the whole ‘Recently Removed” discount.” the woman remarked. The customer pays 250 shards and leaves and in walks Snipe and Irat. “Hey Harvey, if you want silk pajamas my sister and soon to be brother-in-law are more than happy to let you pick something from the clothes drive” The woman addresses Snipe without looking up, as she is cleaning a mannequin, “Not today, Mary, I have a special case” Snipe lazily points his thumb at Irat. Mary looks up, “Well, look what the cat bought in, Hey, Ira, how is it going, or are you still going by Paine Asher?” Irat begins, but is cut off as Mary flings him some clothes, “I got a Tube from Harvey explaining everything, try those clothes on, and come back out.” “Now as for this” Mary picks up the scarf and begins repairing it. When Irat comes back out, he is wearing a purple shirt, a dark grey vest, and has a smokey grey fedora just like Snipe’s. Mary gives Irat his newly repaired scarf, and he puts it on. “Now it is complete. You know, I am pretty sure Last Hope has some options for ocular posth-""No thank you” Irat cuts off Mary rather sternly. “No good, Mary, We both know how stubborn Irat can get.” Snipe tells Mary. Irat asks, “Do I still get the Recently Removed discount?” “No, you lost that opportunity a long time ago, sweetie,” Mary replies in her usual rough voice. She takes a swig out of her cup, which is filled with black liquid. “Mary, how can you drink copious amounts of liquidized black liquorice, for the flavor of it is rather bitter and bland, not to mention many people cannot handle it as it has been a common dare amongst youths and-” “Okay, Inforat, stop trying to over explain why Mary’s taste buds are deviating from normal society, just because you get Dopamine from a lecture does not mean everyone else!” Snipe cutted Irat off. Irat paid 225 shards and went off. “You know, Madam Mary is right, you know.” Snipe told Irat. “About the ocular prosthesis? I have my ways…” Irat explains to Snipe that almost all Annotyings have super sensitive hearing, “-To the point that I can hear how the air moves around objects, so I have a bit of a mental image of my environment at all times. But I cannot stand high frequencies or high decibels for longer than approximately 300 seconds” “So, 5 minutes” Snipe simplified. Irat also explains how his inner ear is more sensitive than an ordinary one, so his sense of balance is enhanced, “-But I get motion sick easily when I move at sudden intervals” “So no roller coasters for you” Snipe stated. The duo stopped, when they arrived at their destination: Their old base. A half decade of abandonment caused things to fall in disarray. Not only was everything dusty, but the electrical units were fried. They were going to need a miracle if they were going to start up ARC again. “May I be of help, boys?” a rough feminine voice asked.
