danex Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 The shop looked every bit adorable as it did terrifying. Ominous shadows and undefined figures paired with sparkles and cutesy music. One would think that the cute side of the presentation would only amplify the terror side, in the classic "cute thing becoming perverted by evil" way, but no. The cute and the dark were entirely separate. The shop was simply both. You walk in through the saloon-style gate that served as the front door and find that this theme is continued throughout the interior. Off to one side you catch a glimpse of what appears to be a medieval torture device, complete with bloody hooks and chains. On your other side, you see a pleasant little reading nook, complete with bean bag chairs, mood lighting, and snacks. You're so engrossed in this strange dichotomy that you don't even notice the figure approaching you until they speak. "Hello there! Welcome to Build-A-Danex! How can I help you??"

"I'm sorry, but the process of creating a Dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnex is incredibly regulated, we cannot simply go off of a customer template. Would you like to start the process?" As you talk with this strange figure, you look around the store some more. You notice that you can't seem to see any walls. The open-floor plan just keeps going and going and going, decorated with all sorts of strange exhibits. Directly ahead of you is a collection of large machines, connected together by conveyor belts. A set of computer terminals is off to one side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I was just walking around outside when this building appeared out of nowhere." "Ah, so you are new. Welcome! Would you like to start the process of creating your very first Danex?" 2 minutes ago, Goob said: "Uh- What the hell is a Danex?" The figure laughs. "Oh, you're funny." A thundering crash, like that of something metallic falling from a great height, is heard from off in the distance. This sound interrupts the previously unnoticed silence, but now that you notice it, it's hard to ignore. The entire building is as quiet as a librarian's tomb. Every word spoken is immediately absorbed into the air with no sign of an echo. You almost feel like you should be whispering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
