“The Ichor Spill” Chapter 1 - Looey [Rewrite] Looey lay in the corner of the room, thinking to himself, staring at the door. His breathing was heavy, he was in deep thought, and… wait.. Where's Astro? ‘The sounds of twisteds growling and attacking… each other? Is enough, don’t tell me Astro’s missing to…’ thought Looey, standing up and walking over to the door about to unlock it. ‘Oh yeah… I don’t have the key…’ he thought, turning around and running over to the counter, ‘It’s not over on the wall where it normally is… Weird.’ Looey walked over to the corner dizzily, trying not to fall over. He looked around but the key was nowhere, ‘WHERE… WHERE IS IT… IT CAN’T BE MISSING… CAN IT?’ He tripped on his own foot after trying to walk across the room, almost landing on Vee before catching himself. “C-come on… I gotta find Astro and that key, it has to be somewhere.” he whispered to himself before looking up at the other door in the room. “...” Astro looked down at Looey, “What are you doing… Why are you awake right now… Looey?” Looey opened his mouth but nothing came out. ‘W-why is he up… Where did he come from?..’ Looey thought to himself, closing his mouth trying to think of what to say. “I… couldn’t sleep and when I didn’t see you here I went looking.” Looey said, he paused for a second, about to talk again before getting interrupted by Astro. “I was up because well, I was up and just thought about using the key to the door to outside for the door inside here.” Astro said, looking at Looey with a smile, “ And well I guess it worked because I opened it. I don’t quite understand why we didn’t try that key for the door in the first place.” Astro giggled, it almost sounded like Astro was laughing at them all for not trying. “I’ll just wake the others up…” Looey said, turning to the others about to wake them up. Astro smiled at Looey, anger mixing with the smile, “Ha..! Yes.. you go wake the others I’ll… Open the door again. Yes, open the door.” ... The lights to the building came on one by one as the last of the toons awoke from their slumber. It was about 6:30, at least that's about the time the lights turned on in this place. Everyone was moving things into the new found room except for Looey, who was outside looking at a puddle of ichor on the ground. “I-Is this what was going on last night…” said Looey in terror. It must have been a twisted that died, for the ichor was pure black not a dark blue. “What ya looking at Looey..?” said Cosmo, walking over, “Oh… is that…” Cosmo’s eyes widened as he looked closer, his face turned from curious to disgusted, then to fear. Looey let out a sigh, “I believe a twisted died here, well I’m not sure. I just heard noises of pain and attack from the twisteds.” “Look, Cosmo, I just wish I could export! More than that see if anyone else is live here, save others from d*ing if possible!” Looey stated proudly to Cosmo. Looey smiled at Cosmo hoping he would agree with him. Cosmo giggled, it was a different giggle from Astros, a joyful one, “Well that sounds like a great idea, I wouldn’t do it myself but I think you should! Oh… Wait, I forgot that Sprout and the others would just say no.” “Pfff… Like always…” Looey said, looking at the wall. “OHHHH… BUT LOOEY… IT’S TOOOOO DANGEROUSSS… They say! YOU’LL GET HURTTT… OR WORSEEE…” said Looey, mocking Sprout and the others. “Come on, you know that only Sprout says that stuff.” Vee said, frowning. She stopped leaning on the doorway and walked over to Looey and Cosmo, “Plus I don’t even care if you go or not, as long as it’s not me.” Cosmo looked over to Vee and smiled nervously, “Oh uhm hi Vee,” he said, “didn’t see you there sorry.” Looey looked at Vee, his eyes lighting up with joy. He never thought that Vee would be okay with him going, but he must have thought wrong. “So what you’re saying… Is that we have three people out of five who think I should go….” Looey said smiling, “That’s three over two!! AND IF ASTRO SAYS YES THEN… SPROUT WOULD HAVE TO SAY YES!!!” He looked around then ran inside the base as fast as he could to go and try to convince Sprout to go. “SPROUT SPROUT!!!” Looey said, jumping up and down like a little kid about to get ice cream. Looey was smiling as big as he could even smile, he was so happy he didn’t even care what Astro thought, he just knew Sprout had to say yes! (continued below)
